Lending money to Liao and Jin is not something that cannot be discussed; it is a business in itself.
However, it is necessary to take advantage of the loan opportunity to make Liao and Jin correct their attitude.
When Yelu Qi said this in the court, the eyes of the officials of Da Qi lit up.
Look, although both of them are spending money to have people call them dad, the money spent by the national teacher is totally worth it!
The issue of how to lend money to Liao and Jin was naturally studied by Zhao Gongming and others.
Since Lu Chen appointed Zhao Gongming as the governor of the central bank, he would not interfere.
To be honest, he only knows the basics. In the end, these people still have to figure out how the banking system works on their own.
What Lu Chen can guarantee is that there will be no problems in the general direction and that the people in the bank will not cause any financial crisis.
Lu Chen also has his own things to do during this period. The first thing is sowing seeds, hoping to have a good harvest next year.
During this period, he often went in and out of the princess's mansion, sometimes staying there at night, discussing the issue of rice planting posture with Li Mingyue day and night.
Li Mingyue believes that it is correct to plant the rice seedlings forward, but Lu Chen thinks that they should be planted backwards. At least that is how it is shown in many film and television works he has seen. Planting the rice seedlings backwards can ensure that the seedlings are arranged neatly. You see, I am really talking about planting rice seedlings.
After finishing the sowing, Lu Chen put all his energy into education.
When he first went to Yangzhou, he had compiled the basic knowledge of natural science into a book and placed it in the library.
As long as people want to learn, they can easily find relevant information in the library.
These people have been exposed to natural sciences for such a long time, and Lu Chen also wants to see the level of scholars in Da Qi today.
So Lu Chen made a test paper, claiming that anyone who could answer 80% of the questions on the test paper correctly could become his disciple and become a fellow apprentice with the little prince and the most popular imperial envoy of the dynasty. This was a huge temptation.
What made Lu Chen despair was that there were many people taking the exam, at least one or two hundred, but not a single one could actually meet the requirements!
Yes, you read that right, there really isn’t even one!
The best one barely scored 70 points, which hurt Lu Chen very much. It seemed that the people of Da Qi did not have a deep enough understanding of natural science.
How can this be possible!
If this continues, when will I be able to see a bolt-action rifle, when will I be able to ride on a train, and when will I be able to drive a metal boat to show off my power in all directions?
As for Big Ivan and the like, Lu Chen didn't even dare to think about it now.
"Stupid! Why are you so stupid? What's so difficult about these questions? Li Xiang, do you think these questions are difficult?"
Holding the test papers in his hands, Lu Chen felt somewhat desperate.
Li Xiang, who had just participated in the examination marking, sat nearby. Seeing his master's distressed expression, Li Xiang sighed helplessly and said, "Master, this examination may not be difficult for me, as I'm your direct disciple and you taught me step by step. But for those who learn on their own, it's too difficult."
"Perhaps you don't know yet, but many people still don't even understand quadratic equations. Your mathematical skills are like heavenly scriptures to them."
"Not to mention the physics and chemistry that follow. Without direct experiments, it's impossible to form the corresponding concepts just by reading books."
After listening to Li Xiang's explanation, Lu Chen realized that he had been judging others by his own standards.
He received nine years of compulsory education, but it took him nine years to develop his understanding of natural science.
Now, in just a few months, he asked these scholars of Da Qi to understand many natural science concepts, and on the basis of pure theory. This is indeed a bit too much to ask.
From this perspective, those who can get 70 points through self-study are indeed smart people.
"Teacher, you may not know this yet, but your magic has become unattainable in the eyes of all scholars. The first thing any scholar who comes to the capital to prepare for the exam does is to rush to the library to read your masterpiece."
"If you were to accept disciples now, there would surely be a large number of scholars willing to become your disciples!"
"What do I need so many idiots for?" Lu Chen waved his hand disinterestedly. "Since this is immortal knowledge, it naturally cannot be taught casually. How about this? Starting tomorrow, I will conduct some experimental demonstrations and derivations of formulas at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, so that these people can have a more intuitive understanding."
"Give special attention to those who scored 70 points and have them sit in the front row. Let's take another test in a month with the same standard. I hope they can surprise me."
Soon, the news that the National Master was going to perform a ritual at the Chinese Academy of Sciences spread out, and the rumors became more and more outrageous. In the end, Lu Chen even had to have someone post a notice to dispel the rumors.
Even so, there were still huge crowds of people on the day of the teaching demonstration.
All the princes, ministers, and famous scholars came.
As for ordinary peddlers, they don’t even have the qualifications to enter here.
Sun Jijiu and Director Cao also came today. The two of them sat in the front row and greeted each other with smiles.
Now they no longer have the intention to compete with Lu Chen.
Not to mention that Lu Chen solved the epidemic in the four cities, he has now become a blessing to thousands of families.
For example, they have also read Lu Chen's knowledge, which is indeed different from Confucianism, and there are very few people who can learn it. This directly determines that the scale of Lu Chen's school will not be too large and will not have an impact on Confucianism.
