Chapter 8 The free ones are the most expensive
Since he made up his mind in the glazed tower, Zhao Hao has been working hard to overcome his inertia. Although he was still very afraid of trouble, he still had the responsibility to write this "Geometric First Glimpse", and then let the disciples spread it among the lifters.
This is also the only viable route of transmission. At this stage, only the most elite people can be selected to educate and sow more scientific seeds. Then let these seeds take root and germinate, and finally gradually change the entire soil of the Ming Dynasty.
And this "Geometry Glimpse" is also the threshold set by Zhao Hao for teaching, if a person has no feeling after reading this book, it means that he has no scientific talent at all, and he is not the person he is looking for.
He believed that if there was a genius, he would have been mad by this "Geometry Glimpse", because he only gave definitions, axioms, postulates, and propositions, and did not give the process of proof......
It's as hateful as some writers dig holes and don't fill them.

The three of them are immersed in the world of science, unaware of the time in the outside world.
Before I knew it, it was the fifteenth day of the winter moon, and the passenger ship finally arrived in Tongzhou.
Although there are still waterways in Tongzhou that can go directly to the capital pond, in order to ensure the smooth flow of water transportation, all civilian ships are not allowed to enter.
Even if the yellow flag is planted on the ship, it will be in vain, and it is estimated that it can only be replaced by the Qinchalong flag......
The group had to get off the boat at Tongzhou Wharf, and then went to the post station with the yellow flag to ask for carriages and horses. Who knew that the Luhe post birds didn't bird them, and they said that the carriages and horses were sent out, so they drove the lifter out of the door to ask for the car.
Only then did the lifters understand what it meant to 'not know if you don't know if you don't know if you don't know if you don't go to Beijing'. Put the dignified son in the township, you can be rampant and domineering, and fight against the county lord, who knows that before entering the capital, it will appear in Tongzhou in its original form.
"You don't have to feel inferior, this Luhe post is the first post station in the world, and there are many high-ranking officials and the Son of Heaven who come and go. Even the prefect who went to Beijing to report on his work, and Langzhong, who went out of Beijing on errands, had to be angry with them from time to time. There is an old senior who lifts people, shrinks his neck and laughs: "Let's count people as a ball, let's honestly go to the carriage and horse shop to hire a car." ”
Fortunately, Tongzhou is the key to entering and exiting the capital, and the streets are full of cars and horses.
And the attitude of those carriages and horses is much stronger than that of the post station. The car bosses brought ginger soup to the people who were shivering in the ice and snow, boiled noodles, and each person gave two eggs.
This can move the lifters badly, but I feel that these car bosses are more cute than the salt merchants in Yangzhou.
When the old men filled their stomachs and warmed their bodies, they discussed with the car owner about hiring a car, and asked how much money they could hire one?
"What money is not money? Pulling a cart for the old man is a blessing for the little ones. "The car bosses waved their hands, showing the generosity of the northern gentlemen." How can you ask for money! ”
"That is, do you want money or people? Can people ask for money? ”
"Gee, thank you so much." The attitude of the lifters has not been so good since the middle lift. Grateful and said, "There are thirty of us, just give us eight cars." ”
"How can eight cars be enough? What is the identity of the old man? How can you squeeze a car with someone? At least one car per person, thirty cars! "The car bosses are simply living bodhisattvas. Let the newcomers who are entering Beijing for the first time to take the exam have a direct impression of the northerners.
"Thank you, thank you, compared with you, any Hui businessman and Zhejiang businessman are all stingy ghosts." The lifters lifted the car boss to the sky.
"How can one car be enough for one person? Do you want to let the gentlemen and luggage sit in the car? Plus a luggage cart per person! "The car bosses listened to the flattery of the old men, and became more and more arrogant, and actually gave each of them two cars, what kind of treatment is this!
But those old men who entered the palace for the second and third times only shrunk in their cotton jackets and sucked noodles, not moved at all. They want their younger generations to know what is free and the most expensive.
The newcomers are inevitably slandered in their hearts, the old-timers are too sophisticated, and people are not only so flattering, but also so flattering, how can they be so indifferent?
But when they set off, they understood why the car owner was overly enthusiastic and why the seniors were indifferent?
The Gains only need to borrow their yellow flags for use. In this way, if you bring goods into Chongwenmen, you don't need to pay taxes......
Each car was filled with different kinds of goods, and it was stuffed to the brim, leaving only a little space for the lifters to rest their buttocks. The car bosses also said that they were afraid of freezing to the old men. What's even more excessive is that there is only a mule and horse pulling the cart, but behind the carriage, there is also a bucket hanging. It's the luggage cart that the car owners promised them.
The luggage cart was also full, just enough for them to put their luggage down.
The lifters wore thick cotton hats, wrapped in bloated cotton jackets, and their bodies were twisted and squeezed in the gaps of the goods.
They wanted to speak out to condemn the false propaganda of unscrupulous profiteers, but it was freezing cold, and the wind and knives were whistling and scraping their faces, and they couldn't show the angry expressions they wanted to show, let alone speak out loud.
~~
Zhao Hao, but they didn't get hit.
Because Wu Ji also has a carriage and horse shop in Tongzhou, they were picked up from the dock from the dock as soon as they came from Wu Kee's boat.
After enjoying a sumptuous meal, they entered Beijing in six carriages under the arrangement of the shopkeeper of the Tongzhou branch. Two horse-drawn carriages followed, carrying the group's luggage.
And the eight wagons were clean and did not carry any goods.
Although the owner of the car was very reluctant to run empty, the shopkeeper instructed that there were distinguished guests of the owner in the car. But they can only serve with all their heart and mind.
But even so, it still made the group shiver.
There was a miserable white sun in the sky, but there were still scattered snowflakes.
The ground is far and near, and mountains, villages, rivers, and fields are all covered with white ice and snow.
This makes people from the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River feel like falling into ice caves.
'This Xiaoice river, it's really not a cover...... Zhao Hao said secretly, in order to live a few more years, he also has to go back to Jiangnan to live.
"Why is it so cold?" Hua Shuyang hugged Tang Pozi and wrapped it in a thick quilt, but he still trembled and said: "What kind of test is this, I will freeze to death directly......"
"Yes, I don't know, whether there are quilts in the Gongyuan or not." Wang Wuyang also trembled. Referring to the experience of the township examination, when entering the examination, the clothes must not have lining, and the bedding must be one-sided......
A one-sided quilt, how does it wadding cotton? It's just a sheet......
"Hair quilt, you can dream." Wu Kangyuan was also frozen enough to choke and said: "Last time, I was so cold that my hands trembled and stained the rolls, and I ended up suffering again with you." ”
"It is said that young people are hot, you are not as good as me as a half-old man!" Zhao Shouzheng glanced at the juniors contemptuously, he was neither wrapped in a quilt nor carrying a soup woman, sitting in the carriage, he was not very afraid of cold.
After a pause, he added: "Of course, except for Gao Wu. ”
At this time, Gao Wu outside the car was wearing a single shirt and pants, a felt hat, and strode to the side of the car, looking around vigilantly while wiping his sweat with a towel.
"Don't compare with my father, he has lived in the capital for many years and is very frost-resistant." Zhao Hao shrank in the corner of the most sheltered carriage and stopped the two competitive disciples from following the example of the master and throwing away the stupid behavior of the soup woman and the mattress.
"I see......" Everyone in the car was talking and laughing, when they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves outside.
ps. The third more guaranteed is delivered, and I ask for a monthly ticket recommendation!!!
