Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 736 The first lesson for the teacher

Taichang became more and more satisfied with this apprentice.

He secretly observed all the way, and found basically all advantages.

Although this little guy is not very old, he acts quite steadily, is good at thinking, and has a particularly strong learning ability.

More importantly, this little guy really cares about his people, from the bottom of his heart.

This is especially rare, and superiors should have such qualities.

Of course, no one is perfect, and this little guy is not without flaws.

If we talk about shortcomings, the biggest shortcoming of this little guy is that he doesn't know enough.

There is no way, he is from a primitive tribe in the primitive jungle, and he has never seen anything outside, so what knowledge can he have?

Naturally, as a master, this shortcoming should be made up for him quickly.

Taichang thought about it carefully, and then introduced: "Now there are nearly 20 people living here, and there were only more than 30 tribes here, with a total of less than 1 people.

Do you think this jungle can feed 20 people? "

A Suzu shook his head slowly and said: "Probably not, if there are less than 1 people here, then at most 2 people can be squeezed here, and these 2 people will have to be hungry."

Oops, so you know about the population problem.

Taichang nodded slightly and said: "If you only rely on hunting in the jungle to make a living, then such a forest will naturally not be able to support 20 people, and even the people who originally lived in this jungle cannot eat enough.

Now, I can feed nearly 20 people here, including them, do you know why? "

After hearing Zhao Baiyun's translation, A Suzu shook his head honestly and said, "Students don't know."

Well, you can start teaching.

Taichang said solemnly: "You don't know because of your vision, because you have seen too little, and you don't know that there are many things in this jungle that are actually very valuable."

When he said this, he couldn't help but pause.

Because it takes time for Zhao Baiyun to translate his words, if he babbled a lot and Zhao Baiyun didn't remember it, it is inevitable that there will be omissions.

Unexpectedly, after listening to Zhao Baiyun's translation, A Suzu asked curiously: "Men, what is money?"

Alas, this little guy has never even seen money!

Taichang raised his hand helplessly and said, "Ziru, here is a bank note."

Cao Huachun quickly took out a stack of 100 taels of bank notes from his pocket, and respectfully put one in his hand.

Uh, such a large denomination!

Taichang couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "Aren't there small denominations?"

You are the emperor, wouldn't it be a shame to bring those small denomination bank notes?

Cao Huachun said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the small ones take up too much space, I'm afraid the slaves won't be able to bring too many, so I'll take all the big ones."

Well, five taels for one piece, and one hundred taels are only 500 taels. The one hundred tickets alone can probably make Cao Huachun look like a pregnant woman.

There's no way, so let's make do with an explanation.

Taichang thought for a while, then put the banknote into A Suzu's hand, and explained in detail: "This is money. To be precise, this money is a kind of voucher for transactions, just like what you use when you trade is grain and money." Or meat or something.

This money represents the value of these things.

Just like, how much is a catty of meat, we can use the money of this catty of meat to exchange for other things.

As for why there is such a thing as money, it is for the convenience of transactions.

It's like, if you get a thousand catties of meat, you can exchange it with others for five thousand catties of grain, and you can eat a few catties of grain a day.

Under such circumstances, would you carry all the one thousand catties of meat at someone's house and exchange all five thousand catties of grain back?
This is definitely not possible. People can't eat so much meat in one day, and the meat in the jungle can't be eaten in one day, and it will be broken the next day.

What should we do at this time?

You can't finish eating a thousand catties of meat in a day!

You can exchange this thousand catties of meat into money, and then use the money to buy grain with others slowly, and you can buy tens or hundreds of catties at a time.

This money is not just a face value, there are many face values.

And the one in your hand, 100 taels, can buy at least [-] catties of grain. "

Well, this time he couldn't help but say a lot.

Fortunately, Zhao Baiyun has a better understanding of this money.

It is not a problem for her to explain to others.

The problem is that there are still many things that A Suzu has not heard of.

For example, Jin.

What does a catty represent?
Zhao Baiyun explained it to him for a while, and even took out his own money to demonstrate it to him, and he finally understood it.

Taichang then pointed to the piles of logs on the other side of the river and said, "Do you know how valuable those logs are?
The cheapest wood can be exchanged for hundreds of catties of grain, and the most expensive wood can be exchanged for at least ten thousand catties of grain. "

In fact, he still talked a little bit about it.

The most expensive mahogany, one with a waist thick and long, can be sold for at least a thousand taels of silver. Converted into grain, it is at least two or three thousand shi, or hundreds of thousands of catties.

The reason why he didn't say that was because he was afraid that this kid would not do his job properly and only wanted to sell wood.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Zhao Baiyun's report, A Suzu was still full of excitement and said: "Men, how can I sell these logs, and who can I exchange for so much food?"

He often collects herbs in the jungle, so he naturally knows how much wood there is in the jungle.

There is only a big jungle here, and the cut wood can be exchanged for food piled up like countless mountains.

The jungle of their giant horse tribe does not know how many times larger than this place, and they do not know how much food they can exchange for.

If there is such a way, his people will not have to go hungry, and there is nothing to be afraid of if they have nothing to eat, just cut down a few valuable trees to exchange for food!

Uh, this kid really wants to lose his job.

Okay, I want to know, right? I'll let you know.

Taichang said very simply: "These logs must be sold to those in need."

It's as if I didn't say anything!

A Suzu asked anxiously: "Men, who needs wood?"

Taichang pointed to the tall buildings in front of him and the ships not far away and said: "For example, those who build houses, build ships, etc., all need wood.

If you sell the wood to them, you can get money. After getting the money, you can find someone who has food to buy food. "

Well, this sounds simple, but it's not simple at all.

A Suzu thought for a while, and then asked: "Men, where are the people who need wood, and where are the people who have food?"

Taichang said without hesitation: "I just need wood, but I can chop it myself. As for other people who need wood, including food, the nearest ones are thousands of miles away."

A Suzu asked again: "Master, how far is ten thousand miles away?"

Taichang said without hesitation: "It's about a thousand miles from where you live, ten thousand miles is the distance."

A Suzu was stunned when he heard the words.

Of course he knew how far he lived from here. If they hadn't been on the teacher's boat, they would have had to walk for at least 20 days.

In other words, it takes at least 200 days for them to travel thousands of miles away.

For such a long time, they will not starve to death on the road, but also die of exhaustion on the road.

Besides, there are countless big rivers in the middle of this distance of ten thousand miles, and they simply cannot cross it!
Boy, you know how powerful you are. It depends on whether you still want to stop doing business.

Seeing this, Taichang taught in detail: "This world is not as big as the world in front of you, just like our mainland of Ming Dynasty, which is tens of thousands of miles away from here.

You are not the only ones in this world who can see this, just like our Ming Dynasty, which has a population of more than [-] million.

Do you know how much [-] million is?

One hundred million is one thousand and one hundred thousand. If you count the thousands of people in your tribe, Daming has more than one hundred thousand times the population of your tribe! "

Having said this, Taichang stopped again and asked Zhao Baiyun to translate it carefully.

Hearing this, A Suzu couldn't help being shocked.

How big is this world?

Daming unexpectedly has such a large population!
Taichang then taught: "People in this world don't only know how to hunt, they only know how to find food, and many people are engaged in different industries.

There is a common saying in our Ming Dynasty, which is called 360 lines.

The hunting and food hunting you engage in every day can be counted as one line at most.

There are also those who specialize in growing grain, building ships, building houses, treating patients, making knives and guns, and so on.

This is the first lesson for you as a teacher. You must broaden your horizons. You cannot be bound by the original tribe. You must look at the whole world. "

Having said this, Taichang stopped again and asked Zhao Baiyun to translate it carefully.

Hearing this, A Suzu was stunned again.

He was stunned for a while, and then asked cautiously: "Teacher, the world is so big, how can students look at the whole world? Students can only see the world in front of them!"

Uh, this.

I'm just using an example to broaden your horizons, okay?

How can this world be seen at a glance?

Taichang thought for a while, then murmured: "I have a lot of maps, some here, some in North America, some in Ming Dynasty, and some in the whole world.

You can ask Baiyun to take you to see it, and if you don't understand, just ask her. "

Yeah!
Hearing this, Zhao Baiyun couldn't help muttering to A Suzu excitedly.

After listening for a while, A Suzu couldn't help asking curiously: "Men, is there any doctor in this world who specializes in treating people?"

This question is also very good.

Taichang waved his hand very simply and said: "Let's go, I will take you to see it as a teacher. What do you mean by treating people specially?"
