Chapter 1062: Last Class
Being expelled from school is a very dishonorable thing, and the Huangming Military Academy is either a child of a poor family who was finally admitted, or a child of the noble and the second generation of the army.
If you are eliminated and expelled because of academic garbage, not only will you be looked down upon, but even your father, who is an official, will have a disgraced face.
However, in the face of "ideals", Xu Mingwu doesn't care about his personal reputation and family reputation, as long as he can leave this ghost place.
Therefore, Xu Mingwu's goal is very clear: to strive to be an inferior student!
It stands to reason that this kind of goal is not challenging, it should be very easy to achieve, it is a personal ability to be lazy, and if you can't get the first in the test, is it still difficult to rely on the first from the bottom?
However, what Xu Mingwu didn't expect was that if you want to be a qualified inferior student, just like being a qualified honor student, you can't do it without working hard!
Before the crossing, Xu Mingwu also went to a military academy and was a military enthusiast, so he knew all kinds of firearms and equipment well.
The eighteenth- and nineteenth-century weapons equipped by the Huangming Military Academy can be taught and demonstrated a little, and after being a little familiar with it in his hands, he will be able to play proficiently, and even draw inferences from one another.
The Ming army has all kinds of equipment and artillery equipment, such as Wushi rifles, Wuhuang cannons, mortars, and grenadiers, although they gave Xu Mingwu a great impact, he didn't expect that Da Ming could be equipped with such a weapon that is beyond the times!
But it is only a shock of consciousness, these weapons are advanced in this era, but they are outdated equipment for the twenty-first century.
However, these weapons are in the same vein as the equipment of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, especially rifles, and the structural principle is much the same, and Xu Mingwu is very easy to play.
As for the military theoretical knowledge studied at the Huangming Military Academy, including arithmetic, geometry, geography, and gezhi, in front of highly educated science students in the 21st century, it is even more pediatric, and Xu Mingwu can play as an honor student.
Of course, Xu Mingwu has always kept a clear head, and his goal is to be an inferior student, not an excellent student!
Therefore, he hid his stomach of knowledge, kept a low profile, deliberately emptied his gun every time he was in training and assessment, answered questions blindly in theoretical exams, and asked questions in teaching, making an idiot who could not be carved with rotten wood.
However, something strange happened, no matter how hard he tried, the military school did not eliminate him!
In the first monthly examination, nearly 50 of the 500 students were eliminated, but Xu Mingwu was unfortunately left because he was in the 449th place.
He was not expelled, but he became a well-known last student in the entire military academy, and was discriminated against, which made his already disadvantageous situation even worse.
Fortunately, in this month, Xu Mingwu also developed some contacts and obtained an "achievement" that benefited the country and the people.
With nothing to do, Xu Ershao suffered from the pain of brushing his teeth, and began to use the laboratory of the military academy to study tooth powder, and after constantly adjusting the formula ratio, he finally made an early toothpaste.
Before the advent of toothpaste, tooth powder was the most commonly used tooth cleaner, and in the Song Dynasty, there was a tooth powder shop", which specialized in selling tooth powder prepared with traditional Chinese medicine, the most common being salt.
The difference between toothpaste and tooth powder, one is paste, the other is powder, toothpaste adds a lot of water and moisturizers, which greatly reduces the effect of the active ingredients, especially the effect of whitening.
The early toothpaste is not so complicated, but fortunately, Daming has a certain chemical foundation, and the abrasive agents, moisturizers, surfactants, spices and other things he needs can be easily obtained, and he only needs to test the proportion.
Xu Mingwu put the toothpaste he invented in a small glass bottle, first using it himself, and was found by other students while washing.
The student tried it out of curiosity and found that it was refreshing, silky and had a great effect on cavity cleaning, so he advertised it.
Xu Ershao, who "doesn't learn and has no skills", became a small businessman selling toothpaste overnight, and the order exploded at the Huangming Military Academy, and even the second prince Zhu Heyuan sent people over to buy a few bottles, and other noble children needless to say, the orders were flooding.
Xu Mingwu, who inadvertently earned the first pot of gold, suddenly felt that the previous traveler should be a liberal arts student, who didn't know chemistry, and as a science student, he had a lot to do!
Xu Mingwu was excited, and decided to create a brand for the toothpaste he invented, laying the foundation for the next bigger and stronger.
The world's first toothpaste brand was Colgate, an American, who was not going to use it.
Although Zhonghua toothpaste is a founding brand in China, it was later rented by the Dutch company, and Xu Mingwu did not plan to use it.
In the end, he named the world's first toothpaste brand "Huazi" brand!
On the island of the pool, Xu Mingwu had just finished taking a bath and was lying on the stone slab on the shore to blow the wind.
The first pot of gold was earned, but he was still depressed every day, he desperately wanted to leave the Huangming Military Academy, embrace the world, make a fortune, and live a free and rich life.
As he was struggling to escape from the military academy, a tall man in military uniform appeared in front of him, blocking out the sunlight.
This man was about thirty, tall, strong, dark, and his face looked like Li Chen's.
He squatted beside Xu Mingwu without saying a word, handed over a boxed lunch, and said, "Eat, I just picked up the dishes from the kitchen." ”
Xu Mingwu was stunned, who is this? Are the comrades-in-arms of the military school so enthusiastic? Or is the big black bull also worn?
Seeing that the other party was wearing a military uniform, and he didn't mean to put down the lunch, Xu Mingwu had to get up and take it, and smiled politely: "Thank you!" ”
The "big black bull" didn't speak, just looked at him stunned.
"What's your last name?" Xu Mingwu asked tentatively.
The man's rich brows furrowed slightly: "The surname is Xu." ”
Xu Mingwu smiled: "Such a coincidence? My surname is Xu! ”
The man said with a dark face: "I'm your eldest brother, Xu Mingde!" ”
"Ah...... Hahaha, it turned out to be a big brother! ”
I don't know my own brother, it's fucking embarrassing!
Xu Mingde looked intently at the water ripples in the pool in front of him, and said, "I heard that you were arrested by the people of Dongchang, and you were diagnosed with madness?" ”
"yes!"
"I look like, why did Dad let you out, didn't it hurt you?"
Then, Xu Mingde said a lot of words about caring for the mentally handicapped, which made Xu Mingwu have a black line.
"Big brother, how many rank officials are you teaching here?"
Xu Mingde said lightly: "It is a seven-rank martial arts." ”
"It's only seven grades......"
Xu Mingde turned his head, his face was a little displeased: "Are you so easy to mix with the martial arts of my Ming army?" If you don't work hard, you can only be the captain of the nine-rank squad in the army for the rest of your life! ”
Xu Mingwu didn't refute either, but approached him with a smile and said, "Big brother, then you tell me about the establishment of the army, as well as the glorious military history of our Tianwu Army!" ”
Xu Mingde's brows furrowed even deeper: "The establishment of our Ming Army is a basic course that freshmen must learn, what have you learned this month!" ”
"Big brother teaches ......"
Xu Mingwu smiled, looking very modest.
In fact, he already knew about the establishment of the Ming army, and he just wanted to learn more about the Tianwu Dynasty through this brother.
There are some things that will not be written in textbooks and history books, or things recorded in history books have been specially handled by people and do not conform to historical facts.
As the successor of the imperial marquis, Xu Mingde must know many things about the imperial court.
From him, he understands that the Ming Dynasty at this time is far more true than the book.
