50 On the Usefulness of Knowledge

Don't look like he Wu Yongkang only invited the village people to drink a meal, I thought it was not worth a few dollars, in the Ming Dynasty, everyone drank basically rice wine and low-degree rice wine, like the distilled liquor in the modern world, although it had been invented at that time, but due to the taste and habits, southerners still drink more rice wine, such as Zhuangyuan Hong, Daughter Red and Zhu Yeqing and other fermented wine, but there is a problem with such wine, inferior wine is easy to ferment and deteriorate, not easy to preserve, and can be put into his Wu Yongkang cellar, Those are some good wines in the world, although he Wu Yongkang is picky, but he is also a drunkard, how can he not treat his own tongue badly!

Conservative estimates, now that the whole village is on it, then this meal of wine is not cheap, just the bamboo pole knocked by Li Tianyang and his father, at least dozens of taels of silver, in general, he Wu Yongkang will cost nearly fifty taels of silver this time, which is estimated to be enough for him to have a pain in his back for a while. However, thinking that these good wines were all stolen from Li De's hands, it is estimated that Wu Yongkang's purchase price is much cheaper than in the world, otherwise with the character of this old fox, he would not have bought so many fine wines at one time! Li Tianyang silently calculated in his heart, and then shook his head, if this old man could take out this cash to buy food for the village, it would be much better than inviting everyone to drink a good meal!

But he won't spoil everyone's interest at this time, since his father came back, he rarely does anything in public anymore, many times he talks to his father in private, and then his father comes forward to deal with characters like Wu Yongkang. Here he also has to thank Zhang Chong, the military advisor among them, many times his idea was only approved by his father and several adults with the help of Zhang Chong, such as the first construction of this village road.

Originally, according to Li De's intentions, how could they have to build their houses first, although the son had already caught lots in advance when he told the people in the village, and the order of construction had been set, but now that they are back, who in this village really dares to compete with them for a place? The people who do pirates are not people who are peaceful, and everyone thinks about their families for the sake of their families, which is human nature.

Li Tianyang spent a lot of time on this matter, and finally moved his grandmother out, and with Zhang Chong's help, he was able to make Li De and Gan Xingzhi agree to act in the order of the previous lots. And in the matter of road construction, a few of them got into a five-year-old child's bar, and came to a sentence: "You yellow-mouthed child, Lao Tzu eats more salt than you eat rice, and you dare to teach your father how to do things?" A broken road is more important than a house, where does this come from!" Almost sent away!

Later, it was still crepe by Zhang Chong: "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools." The words were convinced, and in the same way, the effect of what he Li Tianyang said was different from what Zhang Chong said. And this, a big reason is actually defeated by age, and this hard injury is how he Li Tianyang can step over. Many times, even if what he says is very reasonable, but for the sake of their adult self-esteem, they will not bow their heads and admit it in the open. Once or twice than they have insights, they will praise you for being clever and clever; But after a lot of times, it will seem that a few of them are not as good as a 5-year-old child, and for a few pirate leaders who manage a large group of men under their command, this is more unacceptable than directly slashing them with a few knives.

The profession of piracy is originally a powerful world, and there is no way for a leader without prestige and ability to control this group of unruly subordinates, so from the very beginning, the human nature that can be the leader is somewhat dictatorial and conceited, and he will not admit that others are better than him, let alone a child who is only a few years old, even if this child is his own son!

However, in this era, people are particularly respectful of readers, and everyone has been taught since childhood that everything is inferior, and only the idea of reading is high. So although Li De always talks about how Zheng Fuzi is behind his back, in fact, when facing an old person like Zheng Fuzi, he has much more respect than Wu Yongkang. So many times, Zhang Chong's words were very important in the hearts of Li De and the others, otherwise they would not have asked him to be the military advisor of their gang.

Many times, in fact, it is not that he Li Tianyang is really smarter than Li De, but the influence of modern education and knowledge on him allows him to see a little farther than this group of rough people who have no culture. In modern times, many people come out of college and always say that they have actually studied for four years in vain, and they have learned something useful at all, is this really the case?

When Li Tianyang was doing business on his own, he actually deeply felt that the difference between cultured and uneducated was really big: illiterate people saw that they were just small profits in front of them, and ignored the real big heads; Knowledgeable people know how to analyze the pros and cons, and take the big from the small to get the maximum benefit.

When Li Tianyang sells mobile phones, he especially likes those rural people who are dressed very plainly, because this is really easy to fool, as long as you promise to give him a lot of small gifts, then he will feel that he has taken a great advantage and pay very simply. And he hates to meet the kind of polite people, especially the four eyes with eyes, basically like this kind of person, nine times out of ten will be a group of particularly shrewd people, meet this, he never mentions giving small gifts, just calmly chat with each other about the topic of mobile phones, and wait for the other party to compare and understand through various channels and then bargain with you, the last mobile phone can only earn a hard fee, and finally can only be subsidized by promoting those small things.

These are obvious examples, and these numbers are written out, in addition to the expansion of the plot, but also for everyone who wants to see this book, don't really feel that reading is useless, as if you haven't learned anything, and what you learn in social school doesn't seem to be useful at all, in fact, what is true is that the school gives you just more vision and insight, and these things affect your every judgment and thinking all the time, but you don't realize it.

Don't look at Li Tianyang, it seems that he has one idea after another, if he really wants to talk about human sophistication and evil crookedness, one Wu Yongkang will throw him 108,000 miles.

Li Tianyang has always wondered why his father always disagrees with him, is he still unhappy that his son has a future? Finally, one day, Zhang Chong quietly called him aside and clicked on him, and he finally got his senses. Now he will consult Zhang Chong in advance about many things, listen to his opinions, and then discuss them with a few adults in private, and finally persuade everyone with Zhang Chong's secret help, and only a few adults will come forward to handle things the next day.
