Chapter 8 Free is the most expensive

Since setting his goal in Liuli Tower, Zhao Hao has been trying to overcome his laziness. Although he is still afraid of trouble, he still has the responsibility to write this book "A First Look at Geometry" and then let his disciples spread it among the students.

This is also the only feasible way of transmission. At this stage, we can only choose the most elite people to educate and sow more scientific seeds. Then let these seeds take root and sprout, and finally gradually change the soil of the entire Ming Dynasty.

This book "A First Look at Geometry" is also the threshold set by Zhao Hao for his teaching. If a person has read this book without any feeling, it means that he has no scientific talent at all and is not the person he is looking for.

He believed that if there was a genius, he would definitely be crazy about this book "A First Look at Geometry", because he only gave definitions, axioms, presumptions and propositions, and did not give proof process...

This is as hateful as some writers dig holes and don’t fill them.

~~

The master and apprentice were immersed in the world of science and had no idea about the time outside.

Before we knew it, it was the fifteenth day of the winter moon, and the passenger ship finally arrived in Tongzhou.

Although Tongzhou still has waterways that can enter the Jishui Pond in the capital, in order to ensure smooth transportation, all civil ships are not allowed to enter.

Even if the yellow flag is planted on the boat, it will be useless. I guess it will be possible to change it to the Dragon Flag of the Imperial Envoy...

The group had to get off the boat at Tongzhou Wharf, and then went to the post station to ask for carriages and horses with the yellow flag. Unexpectedly, the people didn't even have birds in Luhe posts, so they said that they had sent all carriages and horses, so they drove the pick who was going to ask for the carriages out of the door.

Only then did the disciples understand what it means to "I don't know that the officials are young even if I don't know that they are young even if I don't have to Beijing." The disciples can be tyrannical and domineering and compete with the county masters. Unexpectedly, before they even entered the capital, they found their true colors in Tongzhou.

"Don't be inferior to you. This Luhe Post is the number one post station in the world. The emperor and imperial envoys have seen many senior officials coming and going to Beijing to report their duties. Even the prefects who come to Beijing to report their duties and the doctors who go out to Beijing to work on their jobs have to be angry with them." The mature senior Juren shrank his neck and smiled: "We juren are just a ball, so let's go to the carriage and horse business to hire a car."

Fortunately, Tongzhou is the key to entering and leaving the capital, and the streets are full of cars and horses.

Moreover, the attitude of those carriages and horses was much better than that of the post station. The car owners brought ginger soup to the shiver in the snow and ice, cooked the noodles, and gave two eggs to each person.

This made the students very moved. I only felt that these car owners were more cute than the salt merchants in Yangzhou.

When the juren fills his stomach and warms his body, he discusses with the car owner about hiring a car and asks how much it costs to hire one?

"What money is not? Pulling a cart for the men is a blessing for the young men." The car owners waved their hands, showing the generosity of the men in the north. "How can you ask for money!"

"That's right, is it still a human being? Can human beings ask for money?"

"Oh, I'm so grateful." The students have not had such a good attitude since they passed the exam. They bowed with gratitude and said, "We are thirty of us, just give us eight cars."

"How can eight cars be enough? What are the identities of the men? How can you squeeze a car with people? At least one car per person, thirty cars!" The car owners are simply living Bodhisattvas. The new students who have been to Beijing for the first time have a strong impression of northerners.

"Thank you, thank you. Compared with you, Hui merchants and Zhejiang merchants are all stingy." The disciples praised the car owner to the sky.

"How can one car be enough for one person? Should the men and their luggage be in a car? Then each person adds a luggage cart!" After hearing the flattery of the juren, the car owners became more and more arrogant and even gave them two cars. What kind of treatment is this!

But the old men who entered the palace for the second and third, only shrank in their cotton jackets and sucked noodles, and were not moved at all. They deliberately wanted to let the younger generation know what free is the most expensive.

The new students were worried that the old seniors were too sophisticated. Not only did they provide timely assistance, but they also flattered them so much. How could they be so indifferent?

But when they set off, they understood why the car owner was overly enthusiastic and why the seniors were indifferent?

Because people just need to borrow their yellow flags to use. In this way, they can bring goods to Chongwen School without taxation...

Each car was filled with different kinds of goods, stuffed, leaving only a little place for the butts for the bosses. The car owners also called it "that is, they were afraid of the men's freezing. What's more excessive is that the carriage was only a mule and horse, but there was a bucket behind the carriage. It was the luggage carriage that the carriage owners promised them.

The luggage cart was also full, just enough for them to put their luggage down.

The juren wore thick cotton hats and bloated cotton jackets, and their bodies were twisted and squeezed into the gaps of goods. How could there be a juren's handsome style?

They wanted to speak out and condemn the false propaganda of unscrupulous businessmen, but it was cold and the wind knife shaved his face, and he could not even show an angry expression, let alone speak out.

~~

Zhao Hao and the others were not caught.

Because Wu Ji also had a carriage in Tongzhou, they got off from Wu Ji's ship and were picked up from the dock and were picked up by Wu Ji's carriage in Tongzhou.

After enjoying a sumptuous reception, they took six carriages to Beijing under the arrangement of the shopkeeper of the Tongzhou branch. Two other carriages followed behind to carry the luggage of the group.

Moreover, the eight carriages were clean and did not carry any cargo.

Although the owner of the car was reluctant to make this trip, the shopkeeper told him that there were distinguished guests from the owner in the car. However, they could only do their best to serve carefully.

But even so, the group still shivered.

There are clearly pale suns hanging in the sky, but there are still scattered snowflakes floating.

The ground is inseparable from the distance, and the mountains, villages, rivers, and fields are all covered with white ice and snow.

This makes people who come from the Jiangnan water towns feel like they are falling into an ice hole.

'This little ice river is really not built...' Zhao Hao said secretly that in order to live for a few more years, he would also have to live back to Jiangnan.

"Why is it so cold?" Hua Shuyang hugged Tang Pozi and wrapped in a thick quilt, but still shivered: "What else can I take? I can freeze to death..."

"Yes, I don't know, I'll send a quilt in the tribute court." Wang Wuyang also trembled. Referring to his experience during the provincial examination, when entering the examination, the clothes cannot have an inner part, and the bedding must be single-sided...

How can it flee cotton on a single-sided quilt? It's just a sheet...

"Don't let the quilt, go dream." Wu Kangyuan said with a very cold heart, "Last time, I was so cold that I shook my hands and dirty the surface, but I ended up suffering with you again."

"It is said that young people have strong firepower, and you are not as good as me, half-old men!" Zhao Shouzheng glanced at the younger generation with contempt. He was neither covered with a quilt nor a caring shitty man in his arms, and was not afraid of the cold.

After a pause, he added: "Of course, except Gao Wu."

At this time, Gao Wu outside the car was wearing a single dress and a felt hat, strode by the car, looking around vigilantly while wiping sweat with a towel.

"Don't compare with my father. He has lived in the capital for many years and is very resistant to freezing." Zhao Hao hurried in a corner of the most sheltered carriage, stopping the two competitive disciples, who wanted to imitate the master and throw away the stupid behavior of dumping the shit and mattress.

"So that's it..." Everyone in the car suddenly realized, and while they were laughing, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves outside.
