The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

Pan Yun was inspired and gave him a copy of Tao Te Ching.

Taro Nosaka was extremely surprised when he received the book. She immediately surpassed Xue Shao and became his second best friend, second only to Wang Cong.

Taro Nosaka opened the book and read it word by word. Of course, he read in Japanese, but although he knew characters, he did not know all of them.

Taro Nosaka went to get the dictionary, which was the most precious book in their family.

He invited Wang Cong, Pan Yun and Xue Shao into his study. Among so many people, only these three were qualified to enter.

The study is not big, with mats inside and not even a bookshelf because all the books are carefully kept in boxes.

There are only five books in total. Except for a dictionary, the other books are very thin, only about as thick as a finger joint.

Taro Nosaka happily told them the origins of these books.

A copy of the Biyan Record, "This was bought by my grandfather at a great price. It was not until my father came of age that he asked a passing monk to teach him and finally understood the book."

"Bi Yan Lu" is written in Chinese characters and does not have Japanese phonetic symbols, so illiterate people cannot understand it.

Taro Nosaka's grandfather and father were illiterate at first. They only knew about books and they wanted to read.

But in Japan, class stratification is much more serious than in the Ming Dynasty. Even though their family has become increasingly wealthy since their grandfather's generation, it is difficult for them to cross classes.

It was not until Taro Nosaka's father spent a large sum of money to hire a monk to teach him "Biyanlu".

Although it was just a Buddhist scripture, with this scripture, his father successfully broke into the upper class of Izumo Province. After spending several years, he finally bought their dictionary.

Oh, the books exported by the Ming Dynasty to Japan were not circulated.

Taro Nosaka was drunk, and he was indignant when he mentioned this matter: "All the books will be divided up by the daimyo as soon as they arrive on the shore. They don't allow books to flow out. If I want to buy a book, I need to please many people!"

Moreover, it is difficult to hire monks to teach in Izumo Province, and those who practice asceticism are unwilling to earn this money and waste their time in practice;

The monk who was seeking wealth looked down upon Taro Nosaka's money.

So Taro Nosaka envied Kenjin Ichijo very much.

"Ichijo-kun was born rich and powerful, and his retainers can read and speak Chinese. I am very jealous."

So when Wang Cong met him, he said, "I see from his face that he has the potential to make a big leap forward and revive his family," and he made him look like a fool.

Pan Yun asked casually, "How many years has the Ichijo family been operating in Kochi County?"

Nosaka Taro: "I heard that he made his fortune during the Kamakura Shogunate."

Pan Yun smiled and said, "It's been three hundred years. It's not surprising that his family has such a rich history. Nosaka-kun, don't be sad. You will be the ancestor of the Nosaka family. Three hundred years later, your descendants will be envied by others."

Nosaka Taro smiled until his eyes narrowed: "Thank you for your good words, thank you for your good words."

Pan Yun said seriously: "This is inferred based on your character and fortune. You should thank yourself."

Wang Cong nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, I felt your brilliance the moment I saw you, and I knew at that moment that you were extraordinary."

Xue Shao sat aside and watched his two junior apprentice disciples making Nosaka Taro laugh so hard that his eyes were blurred with laughter. He couldn't help but lower his head and laugh.

Taro Nosaka liked them very much and had a filter for people from the Celestial Empire, so when Pan Yun and his companions revealed that they were going to do business by land and the boat was difficult to handle, he immediately patted his chest and said that he could help look after it.

Nosaka Taro said, "This port is used by us for fishing. Few outsiders come here. You can leave your boat here and I will have someone take care of it for you. I will make sure it is the same as when you leave and when you return."

Pan Yun was very grateful: "This is too much trouble for you."

Taro Nosaka said with tears in his eyes: "My friends, you gave me such precious marble, and I am just helping you to guard the boat. What's the trouble?" If it wasn't the fishing season, Taro Nosaka would have liked to go with them and leave the boat to his family.

He really wants to play with his new friends.

Pan Yun wanted to buy a car, but unfortunately, there were no large car dealerships within a radius of fifty miles, and Nosaka Taro said, "Even if there were large car dealerships, they wouldn't have that many cars."

The Nosaka family had two ox carts, and he was willing to give them both to Pan Yun, including the oxen.

Pan Yun firmly refused, but Taro Nosaka insisted on giving it to him. Finally, they both took a step back and Pan Yun accepted the ox cart.

Taro Nosaka knew that they still needed to transport goods, so he bought up all the carts from their village and three nearby villages and gave them to her.

Twelve!
Pan Yun couldn't imagine that there were only twelve carts in the four villages combined.

There are more than twelve carts in Fenshui Village at the foot of the mountain. Not to mention that every household has one, at least 80 percent of the households in the village have one.

After all, a cart is really convenient.

Nosaka Taro said, "A wheelbarrow requires 200 kilograms of dried mackerel, and a two-wheeled cart requires 500 kilograms of dried mackerel. They can't afford it."

Pan Yun: "Don't you have any craftsmen in your family?"

Pan Yun glanced at the fishermen who were helping to move and tie up the goods, and smiled lightly, "If you have craftsmen at home, why not lower the price and help them make a batch? You can let them provide the wood, so you only need to pay the carpenter's labor fee, and you can pay in installments.

With a wheelbarrow, they can work more efficiently, and as the owner, your profits will also increase."

Taro Nosaka had never thought about this. He was stunned for a moment and then said, "There is a father and son in my family who can do some simple carpentry. They can repair cars and furniture. I have never heard that they can make cars."

Pan Yun smiled and said, "With the blueprints, you can get twice the result with half the effort. I'll draw two blueprints of the wheelbarrows for you."

When Taro Nosaka saw that she actually drew the drawings of a unicycle and a two-wheeled cart for him and even marked the sizes, he was stunned for a moment.

This was not difficult for Pan Yun. The principles of the unicycle and the two-wheeled cart were very simple, and the specific data could be found by simply checking in the spiritual realm.

Pan Yun marked them one by one and handed them to Taro Nosaka.

Nosaka Taro held it in his hands, his eyes slightly red, and asked in a low voice: "Why is Pan Jun so nice to me?"

Pan Jun was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "It's just a piece of cake."

She paused, pointed at the ragged fishermen and said with a smile, "Please help Nosaka-kun as well."

Nosaka Taro solemnly put the blueprint away and stuffed it into his arms, bowed deeply, and replied solemnly: "Hi!"

Pan Yun reached out and helped the man up.

Tao Yanbai ran over and said, "Uncle Junior Master, everything is tied up."

Pan Jun nodded: "Then let's go."

She said to Nosaka Taro, "Nosaka-kun, we'll leave our ship in your hands."

Taro Nosaka said solemnly: "Don't worry, Mr. Pan, I'm on the boat!"

Pan Yun's mouth twitched slightly, and he quickly said, "You should put yourself first, the boat is just a thing outside of your body."

Nosaka Taro looked serious, and it was unclear whether he had listened or not. (End of this chapter)
