Chapter 218 The second semester starts
On March 1, Cangshan College officially started.
In the college hall, the disciples who had completed the admission procedures since the 28th saw Chen Ming standing on the high platform bowing down and saluting: "Greetings to Master."
"Yeah, sit."
Chen Ming, wearing a white wide robe and big sleeves, nodded, and then sat down cross-legged first, and the other disciples sat down with excitement.
School finally started again! Everyone was excited when they saw their classmates.
"School starts today, we won't talk about the courses first, let's talk about your tasks this year."
"First of all, there is a business school. Last semester, you learned what business is and how to make money with business. Then the goal of this semester is to test how you spend money."
The students in the business class were stunned and spent money? But they didn’t dare to make a noise, but listened carefully to Chen Ming.
"You may think that the essence of business is to buy high and sell low, and to plunder the people's assets on their own. This statement is one-sided. Buying high and selling low is a means and a replacement of resources, but this is not the essence of business."
"The essence of business is the circulation of resources, not only goods, but also coins."
"You learned the means of businessmen last semester, so you must learn the responsibility and responsibility of businessmen this semester."
"So what is the responsibility of a businessman?"
"It's circulation, just like this, for example, this Xia Kingdom builds a trading market on the barbarian border, brings back seafood and minerals that are of low value to barbarians, and exchanges low value to barbarians and other materials to barbarians. So who are the ones who benefit?"
"From a commercial perspective, the people of both countries benefited, the barbarians obtained sufficient food, and the people of Xia State obtained profits."
In fact, from the perspective of the country, this is a kind of plunder for the barbarians and also cultivate the barbarians' dependence on the Xia Kingdom, but Chen Ming certainly would not say this at this time.
"The wealthy people in China use silver to buy seafood, and this money will make a large number of people who do seafood business rich. These seafood merchants have to hire people, which will allow some people to earn income. When the people get income, they will have money in their hands. They will buy cloth and grain, and the money will be circulated and the market will be more prosperous."
"So do you understand the responsibilities of businessmen?"
The hall was quiet, and a moment later someone asked, "Spend money?"
"Yes, it's just spending money!" Chen Ming gave a positive answer.
In the chain mentioned above, only the wealthy spends money will flow into the downstream market, but the money from the downstream market will eventually return to the rich through various channels. For example, Xiao Wennuo, you sell wine, your wine is five taels per bottle, and even ten taels outside. Generally, people can't afford it, but they make money through other business actions or work, so they decide to buy a bottle."
"Maybe the money he bought this bottle of wine was the money you used to spend."
Everyone present was thinking about what Chen Ming said.
"Money is only money when it is circulated, and the role and responsibility of a businessman is to make money circulated. However, this circulation is not a voluntary circulated, otherwise it will go bankrupt. As for how to circulate positively, it is what you learned last semester. You can do business and hire someone to pay for your salary, and you can invest in a project."
"If you are poor, you will be able to protect yourself; if you are rich, you will be able to help the world."
"How to make more people rich, how to lead poor people into rich people by spending money..."
"This is what you want to assess this semester. Small businessmen can save themselves, wealthy businessmen can save others, and huge businessmen can prosper the country. So this semester, the college will assess how you spend money. At the end of the semester, the college will review your expenditures, based on how many people you have helped. Remember, you should squander and donate money without counting points, and do valuable things."
"Of course, those who fail the assessment last semester will take the lead in the content of the previous semester, and learn how to make money first."
The students in business class looked at each other and said in a not-to-order manner: "Yes."
What happened to this? They were confused.
After reading the treatment of the students of the business class, the students in the other classes were all raised, as if they were back to the anxiety of hearing Chen Ming assigning the assessment last semester.
As they watched Chen Ming continued, "After talking about business class, let's talk about industrial class."
The students in the industrial class sat up straight all of a sudden.
"The assessment content of industrial courses this semester is very simple. Last semester was a test of your creativity. This semester you can try to further your creativity. Master Jumu has developed the steam engine. Many people have seen Qingtian, right?"
Some students nodded violently, their eyes shining brightly, and the mecha was a man's romance!
"Your task this semester is to use the power of the steam engine to develop your creativity. It can be completed by one person or in teams, such as steam locomotives, steam locomotives, steam engine generators, you can all try it." Chen Ming said calmly, but it was these seemingly casual words that opened the prelude of the world's vigorous psychic industry.
The people in the industrial class should also get up and then get worried about this assessment.
"Agricultural disciples, this semester, you will each choose a kind of crop test field. You can also form a single person or a team to observe the growth of your own crops and take detailed notes, thinking about how to increase the yield. The method was taught last semester, and finally formed a paper to hand it over, and the results and papers should be used to determine the results."
"Yes~" The people in the agricultural class agreed with a bitter face, and this job is not easy to do.
“Medical class.”
Chen Ming glanced at it and found that there were not many people in the hall with medical classes.
Su Ruoran stayed on the battlefield with some students from medical classes.
He was silent for a moment and said, "All the students who stayed on the battlefield passed the test. The other students' task this semester is to assist Master Fang and Master Sun in developing new drugs. The scores are evaluated by the two masters."
"Yes!" The students in the medical class also stood up and saluted.
"Well, let's sit down. Now we start our first lesson, Chinese. Open the textbook and read the first poem. This lesson is about appreciation of poetry..."
The poems Chen Ming selected are famous poems in this world. From the perspective of structure, meaning, background, etc., the poems in this world are mostly Yuefu poems, and some are more like fu, mainly based on statements and records. They are not as gorgeous as the poems and rhetoric as the later poems on Earth, but they also have a shocking power.
After Chen Ming finished this lesson, Xiao Wennuo's eyes rolled and said, "Master, we have learned poems from our ancestors or other families since last semester. We have never heard of the poems made by the Master. What kind of poems would the Master do if he did a poem?"
As soon as he said this, the students present suddenly had their eyes lit up, and some female students hurriedly said, "Yes, Master, you might as well write a poem for us to learn."
This topic attracted everyone's support, and even Xu Yihuan, Hongyu and others looked at Chen Ming with anticipation. Hongyu knew that Chen Ming had written some poems, and she also wanted Chen Ming to publish her poems.
Seeing that they were very enthusiastic, Chen Ming thought about it and thought that taking some poems from later generations from Earth here could help them broaden their horizons and see different poetry formats.
So he smiled, held the pen, turned around and started writing on a white board made of a large piece of white paper behind him.
This whiteboard is a must for class, and it will be replaced when it is full.
Seeing Chen Ming start writing, the disciples immediately looked around with their necks. Chen Ming wrote in a straight regular script on it: "Don't you see the water of Xuanhe coming from the sky, flowing to the sea and never returning."
"You haven't seen the bright mirror in the high hall sad with white hair, like black hair and snow in the evening."
As Chen Ming wrote, a group of people gradually became dumbfounded.
Chapter completed!
