"Brother Wang, you're welcome, we share the same joy~"

"Brother Sun is really awesome. I am afraid that Brother Sun is the best among us. In terms of mechanics, only Brother Sun can inherit the mantle of Master Hou~"

"Brother Zhao really praises me. I've only learned a little bit. None of you are inferior to me~"

Finally, after Sun Xian warmly invited everyone to his house, everyone let him go.

Sun Xian walked with a breeze and walked through a door happily, and happened to bump into Xue Xiang and Fang Xiaoru who were walking towards him.

"The students met with the deputy judge and met with Mr. Fang."

Xue Xiang, who was chatting and laughing with Fang Xiaoru, suddenly fell down the moment he saw Sun Xian. Not only did he ignore Sun Xian at all, but when he walked next to him, he snorted heavily.

"spendthrift!"

Sun Xian raised his head in surprise. You must know that Xue Xiang usually has a pleasant attitude towards everyone in the academy. What happened to the Vice-President today?

Seeing Fang Xiaoru walking in front of him, he raised his hand to signal him to stand up.

Sun Xian asked a little strangely: "Mr. Fang, what happened to Mr. Vice-President today? Who offended Mr. Lao?"

Fang Xiaoru looked at Sun Xian and shook his head with a sigh, "You!"

"Me?" Sun Xian pointed at his nose strangely, his face full of innocence and confusion.

Sun Xian thought about it carefully, but still couldn't think of anything that would offend the deputy judge, "I haven't done anything in the past few days?"

"You, it's cheap." Fang Xiaoru said, then said no more, shook his head and left.

The matter is a foregone conclusion. No matter how much you say, you can't get Han Du to come up with the money. So no matter how much you say, what's the point?

"Is it cheap?" Sun Xian pondered for a long time and didn't know what he was selling cheaply. He had been buying houses these past few days and nothing was sold.

As for the technology sold to Han Du, he didn't think it was cheap at all. It was a full five thousand guan. If it was still cheap, was there any justice in it?

Han Du did something unreasonable once and wanted to do it a second time.

So Han Du came to the academy again after only a few days.

Xue Xiang was still angry with Han Du and looked at him impatiently, "What do you want to do again?"

"Sir, don't be so sad." Han Du said with a smile, glanced at Xue Xiang and Fang Xiaoru, and continued: "I have thought about it in the past two days, since the boss thinks I make too much.

, then I also want to make up for it."

"Oh? How much are you willing to add?" Xue Xiang was overjoyed when he saw Han Du actually let go. He didn't even care about the teacup in his hand. He quickly put it aside and leaned closer to Han Du.

Han Du smiled and shook his head and said: "I am not going to pay more for the contract written in black and white."

listen

When Han Du said this, the joy on Xue Xiang's face disappeared instantly, and he asked with a sullen face and dissatisfaction: "Since you haven't changed your mind, what are you doing?"

"I won't pay more for Sun Xian's skills, but that doesn't mean I can't make up for it," Han Du said calmly.

Xue Xiang frowned after hearing this. He didn't know what Han Du had planned. He subconsciously glanced sideways at Fang Xiaoru. Fang Xiaoru handed him one and asked Han Du to continue talking.

Xue Xiang said noncommittally: "How to make up for it? Let me tell you."

"I will make a request, and the academy will make what I need according to my request. I am willing to pay for the entire set of related technologies, how about it?" Han Du said slightly nervously.

It was only after Han Du returned that he suddenly came to his senses. He was complacent just because he had acquired a not-so-important technology, and only thought about making money. Judging from Sun Xian's actions, these gentlemen in the academy had already solidified their basic skills.

Rather than letting them find no research direction and wasting time in vain, it is better to let them suggest directions for them and let them study in these directions.

In this way, you save your time and get what you want. It also allows gentlemen to not only practice the knowledge they have learned, but also to realize it.

People all need to make ends meet, there are seniors and juniors at the top, and one in the middle cannot be managed. In the Ming Dynasty, the one in the middle could still manage.

Praise the Ming Dynasty!

In any case, only with money can you have status. When Mr. Academy is rich, he doesn't need to look at other people's faces. Only then will the knowledge of the academy be valued by the world, and only then will there be an endless stream of students who want to come to the academy to study.

Therefore, Han Du thought of putting forward the concept of steam engine and letting the gentlemen of the academy put it into practice.

"Well, your idea is quite novel. So, what do you want to do?" After listening to Han Du's words, Xue Xiang deeply felt that this person's idea was completely unconstrained, and there was no trace of it at all.

He originally thought that Han Du was just looking for an excuse to compensate Sun Xian, but he did not expect that Han Du would make such a request.

"Have you ever seen a kettle boiling water?" Han Du thought for a while and asked.

"Of course." Xue Xiang replied lightly, but he still didn't understand what Han Du wanted to say.

Although Xue Xiang is a scholar, he is not one of those people who doesn't touch Yangchun water. He likes the artistic conception of "green ants, new fermented wine, red clay stove". When inviting friends to drink tea, he also likes to boil water by himself, which is natural for him.

This is not unfamiliar.

Now that you know it, it will be easier to handle. Han Du continued: "Then, sir, can you remember that after the water in the kettle is boiled, will the lid keep jumping up, accompanied by bursts of white gas?"

Of course Xue Xiang wouldn't pay attention to such a small thing. But it doesn't matter. Xue Xiang has a very good memory. After thinking about it for a while, he recalled it. "Hey~ It's true. I don't notice this on weekdays. How did you pay attention to it?"

Arrived?"

Don't worry about how I noticed it, can I stand on the shoulders of giants? Han Du smiled lightly and said: "I think this is a force, and it can be used, so I want to ask the academy for help.

How about building a machine that can harness this power?”

"What do you use such a small amount of power for?" Fang Xiaoru became curious after what Han Du said, and suddenly interjected and asked.

Han Du smiled at him and explained: "The teapot is not very big, and the power is also small. But I wonder if it is replaced with a larger iron bucket, for example as big as this table, will the power be stronger?

Get bigger? If this force is big enough, it will be useful."

Well, it would be nice if you were willing to pay anyway. Fang Xiaoru stopped asking further and turned to look at Xue Xiang, nodding slightly to him, indicating that the deal was done.

Xue Xiang thinks so too.

Now that the matter has been discussed, it is time to talk about the price. Xue Xiang slowly picked up the tea cup, held the tea lid and slid it around the mouth of the cup twice, and a clear and sweet sound came out.

He said in a deep voice: "Then what number are you willing to give?"

No matter what Han Du was thinking, Xue Xiang decided to kill him severely. Not only would he not be able to take advantage this time, but he would also give back the advantage he had taken advantage of in the past.

"How about one hundred thousand guan?" Han Du said with a smile on his face.

"Tch, it's just ten, wait a minute, are you talking about one hundred thousand guan?" Xue Xiang suddenly couldn't even hold the teacup in his hand, and all the water in the cup spilled onto him.

But at this time, Xue Xiang was unaware of this. He stared at Han Du with wide eyes and disbelief, saying nothing.

"Of course." Han Du intertwined his fingers and slowly leaned back on the chair. "As long as the academy can make this thing for me, it will cost one hundred thousand guan, which is not a penny. And I can also pay 20,000 guan as a deposit in advance.

how?"
