Brother Wu looked at the medicine bowl and refused to open his mouth. Xiao yuan took a piece of candied fruit and coaxed, "Good son, swallow the medicine in one mouthful. If you eat another fruit, it won't be bitter." Brother Wu looked at Cheng Mutian and whispered, "I don't want to read all day." Without waiting for Cheng Mutian to frown, Xiaoyuan readily promised him, "Mother, invite a martial artist to come to the village. You can read in the morning, practice boxing in the afternoon, and learn some business skills from your father in the evening. I'll let you go to the mountains to play every month. But if you still fool around like today, I won't forgive you lightly." Brother Wu showed surprise in his eyes, but did not speak, only looked at Cheng Mutian, until he nodded, then cheered, took the medicine in Xiaoyuan's hand, and drank it clean. After taking the medicine, Brother Wu was sleepy. Xiao yuan covered him with a quilt and told Mrs. Yu a few words. She pulled Cheng Mutian out and said with a smile, "I thought you were going to shake your head just now." Cheng Mutian said, "I'm just angry that he doesn't have any rules and regulations, and he doesn't want to make progress. If he can behave politely and study hard to take the imperial examination, what if he goes to the mountains every day?" Xiao yuan laughed at him and said, "Your heart is too big. You just said you wanted him to inherit the business, and now you want him to take the imperial examination. Do you think he's an immortal?" Cheng Mutian is stupefied, his expectation to the son is too high? As a young father, he was confused and asked his wife, "Do you think I should let him take the imperial examination or go into business?" Xiao yuan said with a smile, "I think you're not only big-hearted, but also impatient. He's just begun to read. Why do you think so much? Read and do accounts. Learn first. When the time comes, let him decide which way to choose." She had long thought that after decades of war, the imperial examination would not work. While her son was young, she would let him read a few words and recite a few articles. When he was older, she would learn the skills of doing business and make a living elsewhere. After dinner,faux grass wall, the elder brother's fever subsided at noon, and the child was full of energy. When he was a little better, he began to run around again. Xiao yuan couldn't take him, so he had to ask Cheng Mutian to turn out the account book and coax him to see the ship. "Cheng Mutian spread out the account book in front of them." I think you want to see it yourself, "he said with a smile. She was also worried that the gold and silver in the house were too heavy to take away, so she did not argue. She looked at the account book carefully and said that it was an account book, but there was no account on it. The first page showed a large square ship with a high bow and a square stern, with oars on both sides. She counted that there were ten pairs. According to the instructions under the picture, there were two stone anchors on the ship. And sails made of canvas. When Cheng Mutian saw that she was in a trance, he explained, "There are dozens of small cabins separated from each other in the front of the ship. They are all water-proof. Even if the hull is slightly damaged, they are not afraid. The small boats towed behind the ship carry firewood and fresh water, which are replenished from the ports through which they travel." Chapter 162 Mountain Tour. I'm afraid the most important thing in sailing at sea is to identify the direction. This big ship sounds very good, but I don't know what's the best way to locate it. Xiaoyuan raised the question in her mind without hesitation. With some pride, Cheng Mutian explained: "When the weather is fine, follow the sun, moon and stars, cherry blossom wedding centerpiece ,Faux cherry blossom tree, supplemented by star charts and navigation charts; if the weather is cloudy, then use the earth snail." "What is a ground snail?" Xiao yuan has a curious face. Cheng Mutian turned to turn over the box and looked for one to look at with her. It turned out to be a compass that drew on the principle of the compass. Twenty-four directions were engraved on it, and a magnetic needle marked the south. Brother Wu caught the snail and played with it. When Cheng Mutian saw that he loved it, he was somewhat relieved. He touched his head and gave him the snail as a toy. Without an answer to the question she wanted to know most, Madoka asked eagerly, "Jiro, how much weight can such a boat carry?" Cheng Mutian replied, "Some are big and some are small. The biggest ship can carry six or seven hundred people and ten thousand catties of goods." Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "There's no need to calculate carefully. The gold and silver in our house must be enough.". We have to earn more, in case we go to that unfamiliar place and can't find a profitable business for a while, we won't starve to death. "Cheng Mutian shook his head helplessly:" Are you looking forward to war like this? " Small circle does not wish the thing after a few years is advanced come to argue with him now, service way: "Is that always right to earn some money more?" Cheng Mutian said with a smile, "Before I went into the mountain, you advised me not to let a big tree catch the wind. Now you want to make money again?" Small round gave him a white look, making money can also not show off, relying on the production in the village, earned money quietly transported to the mountains, than in the city to open a shop to attract people to think about ten thousand times. Afraid that she could not convince Cheng Mutian with her empty words, she took an account book and an abacus to calculate with him, but Cheng Mutian asked, "Do you know what business our ship is doing?" Small circle is stupefied, say: "Outside tent does not pass my hand again, where to know, probably have rhinoceros horn and coral?" Cheng Mutian knocked on the ground conch in Brother Wu's hand and said, "Besides rhinoceros horn and coral, we also have ivory, agate, pearls, water essence, sandalwood, agarwood, spices, camphor, cloves and cardamom. We sell silk and brocade, pottery and porcelain." Xiaoyuan understood that all these goods were valuable, and any one of them was more profitable than her Chuang Tzu's production. When Cheng Mutian saw that she was dejected, he comforted her by saying, "Chuang Tzu has to do a good job. He can't use the money he earns from the shipping business to support the farmers. Besides, if they raise sheep and vegetables, we can spend less." Brother Wu threw himself into his arms with the snail in his arms and shouted, "Dad, this is so stubborn. I'm going boating." For the first time, Cheng Mutian did not push him away and said with a smile, "You are good at learning skills. Those boats will be yours in the future." Two days later, brother Wu's illness was very good, and brother Chen, who had fainted in the car, also had the spirit. Xiao yuan proposed to go up the mountain for a walk. The family of four all changed into light clothes and took a few servants, led by Tian's daughter-in-law, to go up the hillside together. Halfway up the mountain, all the people lived in the village, but at this time there was no one at home, only a few old people sitting at the door, looking after the children. "The Chinese New Year is coming,artificial banyan trees," said Ah Hsiu-chi. "The farmers are not the most leisurely at this time of the year. Why can't anyone be seen?" Tian's daughter-in-law pointed to the hillside and said with a smile, "The men are busy driving sheep, and the women are busy collecting vegetables. It's time to make money during the Spring Festival." 。 hacartificialtree.com
