You can give it away without selling it? What is this kid planning? After two days of contact, Gai Rencong has some understanding of Ma Hanshan. No matter what this kid does or says, he has a certain purpose. He will never do it.
Talking nonsense with others, let alone giving others things out of friendship.
Could it be that he gave the lamp so that I could promote him? Gai Rencong thought to himself.
"Haha, Xiangfan Mansion uses a lot of lamps." Gai Rancong said with a smile.
"It doesn't take much, right? Even if Mr. Gai puts a lamp in each room, wouldn't the back office only have ten or twenty rooms? Well, Mr. Gai will definitely give one to each of the magistrates, governors and so on.
Lanterns, how do you calculate them? One hundred lamps is enough, right? Forget it, I will arrange for someone to give Mr. Gai two hundred lamps." Ma Hanshan counted with his fingers and said.
"Are they all these fire and water No. 1 lights? Can you give me some angry wind lanterns? This kind of light is very convenient for patrolling at night, which will greatly improve the mobility of the government officials and border defenders." Gai Rencong closed up.
He smiled and said, "I don't need you to give it to me, I'll buy it with money."
"I'm so angry that the wind lantern hasn't been mass-produced yet, so I can only give Sir Gai one for his own use. When it is mass-produced, I will send you one or two hundred lanterns." Ma Hanshan shook his head and said.
"Okay." Ma Hanshan said this, and Gai Rancong could only wait.
"Sir, I have nothing to do. I'll take my leave." The purpose of Ma Hanshan's visit at night was to deliver a light to Gai Rancong.
For this world, the fire water lantern is a product beyond its time. How to promote it to get the maximum benefit quickly? Ma Hanshan has already made a plan. Originally, he thought of finding an opportunity in Lin'an to interact with the official people before giving it away.
If you send it to the officials, it will definitely be spread to the palace, and then another batch will be sent to the palace.
Officials have used them, and the palace has also used them. It is difficult to become famous for these fire and water lanterns. They work well and are effective. The palace has used them, so why are you afraid that no one will use them among the people?
After seeing off Mahanshan, Gai Rencong did not go to rest, but watched the fire and water lanterns.
For people in this era, an ordinary kerosene lamp is like a gift from God, because it is a brand new thing. Never seen oil, never seen structure, never seen burning method, never seen before
lighting method…….
Because I had never seen it before, the novelty turned into magic.
The magical peach blossom powder, the wonderful suture operation, the magical fire and water lamp... The science is amazing, Ma Hanshan is amazing, how many unheard of things does he have?
"Someone...go get Xuan Ling." Suddenly, Gai Rancong, who was "studying" the kerosene lamp, shouted.
"Father, what did you teach me late at night..." After a moment, the small cover Gestapo in Mahan Pass came.
"Xuan Ling hasn't rested yet?" Gai Rencong was very surprised as to why his son came so quickly.
"The child is watching "Spring and Autumn"." Ge Shibao scratched his head and said.
"Haha, my son also imitated General Guan in reading "Spring and Autumn" at night?" Gai Rencong glared at him and said, "What other miscellaneous books and unofficial history did you find?"
A wise son is like a father. The reason why Geshibao stayed up so late was because he heard that Ma Hanshan was coming and wanted to see if there was a chance to avenge one stone... No, it was the revenge of two swords. Although he appeared to be a big boss
He screamed happily, but he kept remembering the two swords that Ma Hanshan stabbed him in his heart.
The second is that he has recently become obsessed with "Taiping Guangji". There are more than ten volumes about female immortals in it, which he has read by heart. There are also biographies such as Huo Xiaoyu and Yingying Zhuan in it that he couldn't put down. He read them again and again.
look.
"Father, I think "Taiping Guangji" is much better than the Four Books. It has content, plot, logic, plot, and technology..." Geshibao argued weakly.
"Shut up, no matter how good "Taiping Guangji" is, it can't help you gain fame in the exam. Although the Four Books and Five Classics are boring, they can get you a gold medal after you read them carefully." Gai Rencong pinched his forehead and said, "Oh, why?
My father is old, and there are people in the court who are slandering you. You may be transferred or promoted to an official position at any time. Once you are transferred or promoted, everything you are familiar with and accustomed to will no longer exist..."
"Xuanling, what will you do if you don't have any fame after serving your father?" Gai Rencong was very worried about his little son, who couldn't stand up to the wall.
"Father, there are so many people who can live a good life without taking the merit exam. Why do they have to be so tired to take the exam?" Ge Shibao glanced at Gai Rancong unconvinced and said, "That Ma Hanshan didn't have any merit either, but
But you admire them very much, and he lives very happily."
well!
Gai Rencong sighed softly secretly, then looked at the light without saying a word.
Yes, Ma Hanshan is full of vulgar words. Needless to say, he must be a person who does not read the Four Books and Five Classics and does not seek fame. But he invented so many unheard of things... Is it really useless to read those Four Books and Five Classics?
"Bao'er, Ma Hanshan stabbed you twice, do you hate him?" After a moment of silence, Gai Rancong suddenly asked.
Ge Shibao's heart skipped a few beats, and he thought to himself, Daddy appreciates that bastard very much, but he can't let Daddy know that I have thoughts of revenge. He raised his head and glanced at Gai Rancong and said, "Father, it's all my fault for speaking rudely.
He was arrogant and arrogant, which is why he was offended."
"Oh, you really don't hate him?" Gai Rencong glanced at Gestapo in surprise.
Of course Gai Rencong knew what kind of temper his son had. He had always been a man who would retaliate, so why did he suddenly change?
"My child doesn't hate him, but admires him very much. Dasong will never find another person as capable and courageous as him." Geshibao said, pretending to be very respectful.
"You really don't want revenge?" Gai Rencong asked again in disbelief.
As the saying goes, it is easy to change a person's character, but it is difficult to change his character. He did not believe that his son had changed his character just like this.
"Does Father want me to take revenge?" Geshibao paused for a moment, then said sincerely, "Father, I know that I used to be a person who always wanted revenge, but now it's really hard to believe that I don't bear any grudge against the person who stabbed me twice.
, but the child suddenly realized that it was wrong to do that before... Father, not only do I not hate him, but I also want to follow him... I feel that there are many things that I can learn from him."
"Do you really think so?" Gai Rencong was very happy. He had exactly what he wanted and thought he wanted to persuade him, but he didn't expect that his son also had this idea.
"Of course it's true, but...but that would delay my studies...Dad...I...maybe I'm really not a person who studies..." Geshibao looked very confused.
Wanting to follow Ma Hanshan was really the idea in Geshibao's mind. Firstly, he could get rid of his father's control. Secondly, by following Ma Hanshan, he could find the best opportunity for revenge.
Gai Rencong's idea was that the science school was so good that if his son was admitted to the school, maybe he would achieve something. Anyway, he was not a material for studying. To take the exam for fame? For this son, it was probably just a matter of success.
It’s just a pursuit that fails to achieve its goal.
"When my son said he wanted to follow Ma Hanshan, did he want to join his scientific school? Are you willing to become his teacher?" Gai Rencong looked at Geshibo and said.
"No, you can follow him, you can also join the science sect, but you don't need to be his disciple. How could I, the son of a dignified magistrate, be my disciple to someone with no fame and fame like him?"
If he becomes a master, how can he take revenge? Should he deceive his master and destroy his ancestors? That would be reviled by everyone in the world, and he would not do it.
"Well, it seems that my son has thought it through. What are you going to tell him?" Gai Rencong finally smiled. He originally wanted Geshibao to practice with Ma Hanshan, but he couldn't read a book and learn some skills.
That's fine too.
People in ancient times had the greatest ideal in life when they learned literature and martial arts, became rich and became an emperor. Many people worked towards this goal from the day they were born. Anyone who doesn’t have this idea, or who doesn’t want to get fame, will be punished.
It was regarded as not doing his job properly and being deviant. Therefore, Gai Rencong actually asked his most beloved son to learn from Ma Hanshan, which was regarded as a strange skill by the world. His thinking was really open-minded and advanced. Although, he asked Ge Shibao to follow Ma Hanshan.
It's not simple, but it's really amazing.
"This requires his father to tell him. All he has to do is tell him that he wants his son to practice with him. I believe he will not refuse." Geshibao said with certainty.
"Why?" Gai Rancong found that he still didn't understand his youngest son. It was obvious that this boy had thought about everything.
"Because he is currying favor with his father." Geshibao looked up at Gai Rencong and said, "He is selling medicines at half price to his father to show his kindness. He is also showing his kindness to his father by sending these lamps at night. He
So the show of goodwill is firstly out of security needs and secondly out of commercial needs."
"His scientific family, Wagangzhai, has produced so many new things, so it must have made a lot of money. Generally speaking, when someone makes money, there is no one who is not coveted by others. He is so smart, of course he knows how to find a backer. Guogai Mountain is where
Suishui County is under the jurisdiction of Zhuangzhou, while Zhuangzhou is under the jurisdiction of Xiangfan Prefecture. He established a friendship with his father, and who among the people below would dare to reach out? Another reason is to use his father's new identity to quickly increase the popularity of his new lamps.
The prefect, as well as so many officers under the control of Jinghu City, use this kind of lamp. Soon this kind of lamp will be spread to the palace and be recognized by the palace..."
Gai Rencong was really surprised and happy. He didn't expect that his son would know so much and see so clearly. When he grew up, he would still treat him as a child.
This passage narrated by Ge Shibao is really amazing and really surprised Gai Rencong. In this era, most of his peers are still memorizing the Four Books and Five Classics, and they may not even be able to distinguish the five grains. He
But he could see Ma Hanshan so clearly. Even if Ma Hanshan knew about it, he would probably be shocked.
"Son, you have grown up. You are very good. My father is very happy. Go and have a rest. My father will find a chance to talk to Ma Hanshan." Gai Rencong was very relieved. He had long known that this son was not good at studying.
, I have always been worried about his future. Now it seems that it is not that difficult to have no fame. If you learn one or two scientific skills, you can still shine in your family.
Gai Rencong had absolutely no prejudice against most rotten scholars. He didn't think there was anything wrong with studying things. Without people with extraordinary skills, where could advanced things come from?
