Big Ear Thief Selling Straw Sandals

Chapter 260: Xu You leaves, Zhong Yao comes, don’t wait to govern the country and bring peace to the country

The rattan ball is ready, and the light projection test is fine, but it cannot solve the problem of how people in the lower hemisphere stay on the ground.

Liu Bei, who had been prepared for this, brought some props to give lectures on the spot.

The first is the military compass made by modified Sinan.

"You think, why do the two ends of the compass always point north and south?"

In addition to the three new disciples, there were also Liu Yifei, Liu Chan, and five or six juniors from the Zhen family and Cai family, all in their seventies or eighties.

The emperor's uncle taught his disciples that there was no teacher's ethics and etiquette, and there was no need to differentiate between superior and inferior. It didn't matter whether they learned or not.

Those who really want to learn must ask and do more on their own. After all, Liu Bei will not give answers. At most, he will give some inspiration or clues, and the rest need to be found by themselves.

Gao Miaoniang was the first to answer: "The power of gods! It must be the power of gods to do it. Teacher, right?"

Liu Bei smiled and said: "That's an answer for now, is there anything else?"

Liu Yifei said: "Father, is there a little man pulling the arrow in the compass?"

Liu Bei raised his thumb and said, "Well, it's possible!"

Liu Chan got excited and shouted: "Father, I want to see the villain!"

Haha, children's words are unbridled and make people laugh.

Liu Bei handed the compass to his son and asked him to study it with his sister.

Cao Wan read more textbooks and magazines and thought more deeply.

She said thoughtfully: "Teacher, the magazine said that the characteristics of magnets are that same-sex attracts and opposite-sex repels. Could it be that there is a huge magnet in the far north of the earth, which happens to be of the opposite sex to the north end of the compass?"

Liu Bei also affirmed and said: "Well, what you said makes sense, but it is better to believe in books than to have no books. Magnets are common, and it is not difficult to do experiments. You can even go to the far north for field inspections."

Then, Liu Bei took a piece of paper, raised it high, and let go.

The paper slowly fell to the ground.

Liu Bei took one, crumpled it into a ball, raised it high and let go.

The paper ball snapped and fell directly, much faster.

Then, he asked the three disciples to repeat it themselves. Cao Wan, Gao Zheng and Gao Miaoniang followed the same method and came to the same conclusion.

Liu Bei asked the puzzled disciple: "Why does the paper fall? Why do different shapes of paper have different speeds?"

Gao Zheng rarely spoke and asked: "Teacher, heavy objects fall fast and light objects fall slowly. This has been the case since ancient times."

Liu Bei lit the small Xuande lamp, watched the lamp fly up, and asked: "This lamp is lighter or heavier than the piece of paper?"

Gao Zheng couldn't answer. Ever since he became a disciple of Liu Bei, his outlook on life was almost shattered.

Although the teacher's answer is logically consistent, it is always unbelievable and unconvincing.

But what made him fortunate was that Liu Bei did not require them to listen blindly and believe blindly, and even encouraged them to verify and test.

He also said that as long as you find the errors in the book, you will be rewarded.

Gao Zheng didn't dare to blatantly make mistakes, but Cao Wan and Gao Miaoniang enthusiastically read many books and wanted to get the teacher's reward.

Cao Wan asked: "Teacher, I heard that the hot air balloon that can control the wind is made based on the principle of Xuande lamp?"

Liu Bei nodded and said: "Manned flight is too risky and should not be attempted at will. I have warned you, senior sisters, to terminate such experiments."

Gao Miaoniang took the opportunity to ask: "Why can objects fly up by burning fire?"

Today's highlight is here.

In essence, human technological civilization is about boiling water.

An alcohol lamp, a small kettle, filled with water, and lighting a fire.

Soon, the kettle spout whistled and white mist-like water vapor came out.

Then, the boiling steam expanded rapidly and pushed the lid open suddenly.

"Snapped!"

The metal lid fell to the ground and made a crisp sound, allowing everyone to intuitively experience the power of steam.

Yongzhou Public School has recently been developing steam engines, and the three new disciples are young, energetic, motivated, and have more ideas.Therefore, Liu Bei is deliberately guiding them to explore in this area.

The steam engine ushered in the industrial age, making large-scale production possible and transforming a large agricultural population into more efficient workers.

What Liu Bei has to pay is just a small enlightenment experiment. As for the funds required for research and development, the wool comes from the sheep.

At the end of the class, Liu Bei pointed at the compass and then at the huge sepak takraw ball and assigned homework.

"What is the connection between the two?"

Liu Bei took his children and left, leaving the three young men behind, spinning around the sepak takraw ball and racking their brains to solve the teacher's problem.

In the evening, Liu Bei entertained Xu You who came from afar.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, Xu You, who was very drunk, intentionally or unintentionally revealed his plan to return to his hometown to study.

Liu Bei laughed and didn't take it seriously. After all, how can we take what we say while drinking seriously?
Xu You was very drunk and was helped by his maid to rest.

Liu Baniu reported: "Master Xu did not stay with the maid."

Hey, Xu Zijiang has always liked beauty, why are he pretending to be a gentleman this time?

Liu Baniu guessed: "My lord, it seems that he has a different intention."

Liu Bei looked at the night sky silently and suddenly said: "It's going to rain. My mother wants to get married, so let her be!"

Sure enough, early the next morning, Xu You proposed to resign and return to his hometown to recuperate, citing poor health.

Liu Bei showed great concern and asked for help. He immediately approved the leave, rewarded him with a large sum of money, and sent someone to escort him back to Nanyang.

Of course, Xu You will most likely be gone forever.

His idea has never changed. He rebelled and overthrew the Han Dynasty, established a new empire, took charge of life and death, and gained both fame and fortune.

Both he and Liu Bei knew that in the Yongzhou Clan under Liu Bei, this matter was far from obvious.

Therefore, Xu You was unwilling to fish in Youzhou and left decisively.

At the same time, the dust settled in the Eastern Capital, the war was calmed down, and a large number of female relatives who migrated north began to move south to reunite with their families in the Eastern Capital.

Zhang Lan and Liu Bei's female relatives did not move. In this way, before November, Wuji County finally became quiet again.

Half a month passed by in a flash. During the snowy season, Liu Bei and his children built snowmen in front of the door and had snowball fights. They had a great time.

A group of chariots and horses entered Wuji and arrived at Liu Bei's residence.

Zhong Yao performed meritorious service in managing the victims in Xunyang and was promoted to the governor of Youzhou. He crossed the threshold of two thousand shi and took over some of Xu You's functions.

I met the Empress Dowager and the Emperor in Beijing, and on the way to Zhuojun, I came specifically to pay homage to Uncle Liu Huang.

"The emperor is so elegant!"

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Old Xunyang can resume production and life, thanks to Yuan Chang's hard work! Yifei, Chan'er, come and pay homage to Zhong Shibo."

Liu Yifei, Liu Chan grabbed the snowball, got out from behind the snowman, and looked at Zhong Yao curiously.

"Hello Shibo!"

"Hello Zhong Shibo!"

"Okay, okay! What a handsome girl, what a smart young man! Come here, a meeting gift!"

Zhong Yao laughed and praised and took out two gifts. Liu Yifei got a puppet, and Liu Chan got a bamboo man holding a bamboo gun, which can be controlled by ropes to perform various combat actions.

Zhong Yao knew that Liu Bei did not accept expensive souvenirs.

Moreover, Liu Bei's character is like dirt, so giving him some exquisite and ingenious handicrafts would make Liu Bei even happier.

With the new toys, after Liu Yifei and Liu Chan thanked them, they immediately ran back to their mother's aunt to show off.

Looking at the auspicious snow all over the city, Liu Bei said: "The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest!"

Zhong Yao said with emotion: "The coming year will be a good one, and the people will be blessed!"

Liu Bei nodded and said, "I'm afraid life in Xianbei and Wuhuan will not be easy."

Zhong Yao immediately said: "Xiaguan will set off as soon as possible and rush to the north to rescue the disaster and save the people!"
