He has only heard of soap and the like, but has not tried it.

He is going to buy some for his own use first, and then decide how much he wants to take.

Lu Chensheng agreed and let the other party go down first.

As for the things brought by the other party, they were naturally handed over to Lu Chensheng directly.

Lu Chensheng asked someone to take apart these goods and count them one by one, and then sent them to the bank.

Another order was also sent directly to the blacksmith's shop to make five hundred sets of armor.

Five hundred sets of armor are not too small, and it will take some time to build them.

Lu Chensheng has already talked about this matter with the other party, and the other party is not in a hurry.

......

"I have learned very well recently."

Standing in front of the school, Lu Chensheng looked at the papers he handed out, and found that most of them were correct, indicating that these students are still very smart and usually work hard.

In his spare time, Lu Chensheng would also take the time to come over to take a look. Now seeing these students growing up, he felt very happy in his heart.

"Mr. taught me well!"

The students below heard the words and immediately responded loudly.

Lu Chensheng smiled and waved his hands, "This is all your daily hard work, which is still very good."

"I brought you some new things today. You have learned what is a concave-convex mirror before, and today I brought you something specially for you to see."

Lu Chensheng said, handing out the things in his hands one by one.

The students were all overjoyed when they saw this, the master has made a new gadget again!

"The concave-convex mirror deflects the light when it passes through the mirror, the concave lens can disperse the light, and the convex lens can condense the light to achieve magnification."

Lu Chensheng simply drew two lenses on the blackboard and talked with the students.

"Now you can experiment with the two mirrors in your hands."

Lu Chensheng waved his hand and asked the students to play with the mirror by themselves.

The students hurriedly picked up the mirrors in their hands when they heard the words.

They have learned this knowledge long before, but there is no mirror to use.

Although there are ice cubes, it is a little different from the lens in my hand.

A few people leaned against the window and experimented with the sunlight outside the window, and a piece of paper in their hands was immediately ignited.

Lu Chensheng made a rectangular object out of paper on the stage, and then put two lenses into it.

Seeing the student below, holding a magnifying glass to test the experiment of gathering light and raising the temperature to reach a flammable temperature, he just smiled and shook his head, and did not try to stop it.

After a while, after all the students were quiet, Lu Chensheng said while holding the things in his hands.

"This thing is the periscope I mentioned to you earlier, but it's just a simple model."

Take two mirrors, just place them in a cuboid and place the mirrors in a good position.

Although this thing is not very useful at the moment, it will definitely be useful in the future. Lu Chensheng hopes that his students can understand the principles of these things.

reflection of light.

The simple periscope model in his hand, handed it to the students below to take a look one by one.

They have also learned this thing before, but only on paper. When they actually hold this thing to see, it still feels extremely novel, and it can also deepen the impression of these students.

After letting the students read it, Lu Chensheng asked the periscope model to be disassembled, and then reassembled it by hand.

At this moment, the students are all doing the same, with a little excitement on their faces.

Lu Chensheng's consistent teaching is to let them do more actions and see the actual situation as much as possible when teaching, and then apply what they have learned.

The students also do a good job on this point, and they will learn more about it on weekdays.

"The other one is a telescope."

After the glass was made, Lu Chensheng got a few things and brought them to the school.

Hand over the telescope and ask the students to take a closer look.

The students holding the binoculars were also amazed by such things. What they learn on paper and what they touch and see with their own hands are really two different things.

Looking at the scenery in the distance, it was pulled in front of him at once, and he was even more amazed at the detailed appearance.

"Sir, why do you know so many things?"

Erhu handed the binoculars to the other people beside him, and asked a little strangely.

The more he learned from Lu Chensheng, the more he felt the mystery of this gentleman in front of him.

Outsiders think that these students are extremely scary, they know everything, and sometimes they show it inadvertently, which is even more surprising.

But these students don't feel that what they have learned is worthwhile, but they feel a deep awe of themselves as a gentleman.

It's really because, the more you study, the more you feel your own insignificance, and they can't see the head of their own Mr.

Chapter 467 Changes in Taxation

"Sir, you don't know so many things, and you have so much time to learn, and you only know the surface."

Hearing Erhu's question, Lu Chensheng immediately smiled and shook his head.

Hearing these words, Erhu didn't feel that the master knew little.

How could Mr. know so little?

The more things they learn, the more they feel that the master is unfathomable, and they feel like they are looking up to the mountains.

"But..."

The rest of the students also raised their heads at this moment, wanting to say that the teacher actually knows a lot.

It's just that Lu Chensheng waved his hand at this moment and didn't let them continue talking.

"You guys, as long as you study harder, maybe one day you can surpass Mr.

Lu Chensheng said so, but Erhu and the others felt that it was impossible for them to achieve this step.

After the students had seen these gadgets, Lu Chensheng picked out some knowledge and explained them to the students.

Outside the school, several people were waiting outside, and no one dared to enter Lu Chensheng's class at this time.

The shopkeeper often comes here to teach, and he doesn't want to be disturbed when he is teaching, unless it is very urgent, otherwise he has to stay outside and wait.

For this, they are basically used to it, so they all waited patiently outside.

When it was almost time, Lu Chensheng stopped and walked out of the school.

"The shopkeeper's..."

"The shopkeeper's..."

Seeing this, the people waiting at the side hurriedly gathered together one by one.

Lu Chensheng took various pieces from them and looked at them carefully.

Review as you go.

"The [-] sets of armor have been built? Didn't the blacksmith say that the rest of the parts will be rushed recently, and the building of the [-] sets of armor will be delayed? I also agreed."

Lu Chensheng looked at it, and saw that five hundred sets of armor had been built, all passed the test, and could be traded at any time, and his expression was a little strange.

After the order was handed over, someone specially came to the blacksmith's shop and asked Lu Chensheng if he could postpone it for a while.

They are building some other things recently, which are quite important.

Lu Chensheng agreed at that time, saying that it doesn't matter if the armor is later.

"Back to the shopkeeper, the blacksmith shop has expanded its scale and added a few sets of water conservancy forging, so the speed of armor forging has increased a bit."

The people on the side heard the words and immediately replied.

Lu Chensheng nodded when he heard the words, "It's good to speed up the progress, what about Batur? Have they selected all the products they want? Have you written an account?"

"Yes, this is the product catalog he wants, the shopkeeper's review."

Hearing the words, the following guards handed over a catalog immediately.

Lu Chensheng looked at it, and then couldn't help raising his brows, "This Batur has such a big appetite!"

The catalog here, if Lingling finally calculates it, it will cost nearly 40 silver. Is the other party planning to bring some more things back at once, and then come here in vain?

"Approved, let's start delivery tomorrow."

Lu Chensheng signed his name and answered.

"Shopkeeper, don't they want too many things? It's almost 40 taels of silver. What if the other party runs away with the things and doesn't come back?"

Hearing the words, the guards on the side were suddenly worried.

"If they run away, at that time, we will calculate the profit of one day according to the difference of one day, and then we will send troops to get it, and the cost of sending troops will also be paid by the other party at that time."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chensheng responded directly.

Anyway, that place in the Western Regions will also be within Lu Chensheng's target at that time.

If the other party owes the money and refuses to pay, that would be the best. At most, the money is just kept far away, and then it takes a little effort to get it.

By the way, by the way, I also have reasons to expand the territory, why not do it?

The guard was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and stopped talking immediately after recollecting it.

This is just like what the shopkeeper said, Xinghan City has strong soldiers and strong horses, are you afraid that the other party will not pay back the money owed?

"Shopkeeper, this is the total salary that Yuexing Seoul will pay this year. Please take a look at it from the shopkeeper. If there is no problem, the salary will start to be paid."

Li Daifu also came to him at this moment, and handed over a salary account.

In the salary, Lu Chensheng's students are also included, and now these students can also get the salary, this is the first batch.

For the next few batches, the current knowledge is not enough, and there is no way to help them. The usual benefits are already very good, and there is no salary for the time being.

Lu Chensheng looked at it, and it was not very different from last month, so he signed his name directly.

"Shopkeeper, there is no taxation in Xing Seoul now, and the income comes from my own business. Is it not good if this continues? I have to collect taxes no matter what.

It is not collected now, and after a long time, the common people will get used to it. If the tax is collected, some people may be dissatisfied. "

After Lu Chensheng signed, Li Daifu asked Lu Chensheng.

The income of Xinghan City is still very good, but it is all made by Lu Chensheng himself, which is used to pay for the expenses of various places in the entire city.

The maintenance and construction of the city, and the salaries and salaries of the soldiers all come from this.

The expenses are too high, and although it is great to make money, Li Daifu feels that it is time to get some taxes.

Although there are no people farming in the city, and the common people are all hired to work, but in any case, it is necessary in form.

Lu Chensheng paused slightly when he heard this, then nodded.

"Well, what you said is correct. Taxes are indeed necessary. At the beginning, Star Seoul was a waste of money, so I didn't think much about taxation. Now I really should mention it."

Lu Chensheng directly responded to this proposal.

Li Daifu was overjoyed when he heard the words, "The shopkeeper said, what is the right way to collect taxes?"

Lu Chensheng pondered for a while and said, "Cultivators, tax one bucket per mu of land. Now there are canals outside the city, and the water source is still abundant. Next year, let the people who want to cultivate cultivate it by themselves."

Li Daifu was stunned when he heard this, and he was about to write it down, but now he stopped writing.

"Boss, now that the cultivation has been improved, the harvest per mu of land can reach about [-] buckets. Is it too little to harvest only one bucket per mu?"

In other places, I haven't seen such a small tax. Even if the shopkeeper loves the people like a son, the tax is too little, right?

Lu Chensheng glanced at Li Daifu, "Didn't you hear that tyrannical government is fiercer than tigers? The common people have worked so hard to farm for a year and only have a little crop to live on. How can they impose strict taxes?"

Chapter 468 Farming and Industry

Lu Chensheng's words made Li Daifu open his mouth slightly, and after a while he came back to his senses, his face was full of helplessness.

"The shopkeeper's love for the people is like an official's admiration, but if the shopkeeper occupies many cities in the future, can't he also collect taxes like this?
