Our island owner is always playing dead

Early the next morning, Sullivan really came to report early.Ye Limo admires the heart of learning.

Sullivan is a person who has gone to school, so it is not difficult to teach him to read and write Arabic numerals. However, in order to delay the time, Sullivan deliberately pretended to have a slow memory, and asked Ye Limo for advice from time to time.

Ye Limo felt that there was something wrong with Sullivan's learning ability. Sullivan usually seemed to be a smart person, but why was he so unreliable when it came to learning?

Ye Limo gave Sullivan a pen and a few sheets of paper, and asked him to find a cool place to get in touch and write the numbers from 1 to 100.

The butler brought a glass of cucumber juice to Sullivan, and couldn't help calling Sullivan: "Mr. Commander-in-Chief, Your Majesty does not like others to be around all the time. It is not wise to hide one's intelligence in order to always be by His Majesty's side." lift."

Sullivan looked at the butler in surprise, as if he had seen hell, but he didn't expect that his intentions would be seen through by the butler!

The butler smiled and said, "Mr. Sorel learned numbers very quickly. His Majesty likes such smart people."

Sullivan understood, what the housekeeper meant was that he was pretending to be smart and slow to learn, but in fact he could not please Ye Limo. With Sorel on the side to compare, if he learned too slowly, he would It's stupid to be set off by Sorel.There are many ways to win His Majesty's favor, and this is the worst strategy.

"Thank you for your advice, Mr. Steward."

The butler still smiled and said, "You're welcome, Mr. Sullivan."

So, Sullivan learned all the numbers at once, and he wrote the larger numbers behind without a teacher, and he was able to read them, and read them in Chinese pronunciation. Ye Limo was really shocked. He felt that Sullivan's IQ was not good. Stablize?

Seeing that Sullivan could already read and write these numbers, Ye Limo said: "Please go back and familiarize yourself with these numbers first. In the afternoon, please come with Sorel. I will teach you a more complicated but useful calculation method."

Sullivan was a little reconciled. Why did he study with Sorel in the afternoon? He still wanted to be alone with Ye Limo for a while!

But thinking of the butler's words, Sullivan didn't express his opinion, just stay together, let's see who is better at studying.

Ye Limo has never been a teacher before, but when he really wanted to get started, he was very serious and prepared some branches and leaves to explain why multiplication is so calculated.

In the afternoon, Sorel and Sullivan came together, and Ye Limo had already written the multiplication table silently on a piece of paper.

Needless to say, sit down and start class.

Let's test the two people's mastery of Arabic numerals first. Soler's mastery is very good, because he has been reviewing Arabic numerals during the half month of going to sea, and he also tried to use Arabic numerals when keeping accounts. Numbers, although I am not very skilled, but I am quite familiar with numbers.

Sullivan benefited from learning numbers in the morning, and it was still a time when his memory was strong, so both of them showed that they were very familiar with numbers, and Ye Limo could finally teach the multiplication table with confidence.

Ye Limo used leaves and branches to represent quantities, explaining why multiplication is essentially an addition algorithm.The two quickly understood.

Then, hand over the multiplication table to the two people, and the two will recite it obediently.

Compared with the number recognition and memorization on the first day, the multiplication table is obviously much more difficult. After all, knowing numbers is the content of the first grade, but learning the multiplication table is the content of the third grade.

The butler, who was always serving tea and water, was surprised that the little king who was waiting for him knew such knowledge that ordinary people did not know, but he never asked any questions.

When the little king was a prince, he didn't really like to study, and he didn't have outstanding intelligence. He only had a beautiful and innocent face, which made him look unusual. His father was a king, so even if he didn't understand anything, You can also spend your life without worrying about food and clothing.It is hard for anyone to predict the great changes that took place later, but in the heat island, the little king's ingenuity seemed to be fully displayed at once.

While Sullivan and Sorel were trying to recite the multiplication table, Ye Limo was also working at his desk.He has a lot of work every day. As a king, his subordinates have not yet established a reliable cabinet, and many things still need to be done by himself.

In the evening, Ye Limo was about to take a break. During dinner, Sorel came in and said, "Your Majesty, I can already recite this mantra."

Ye Limo was surprised and said, "Okay, you can recite it and see if you really remember it."

Sorel was about to start when Sullivan also came in and said, "Your Majesty, I have already memorized this formula."

These two people are really good. They were able to recite the multiplication table without learning Arabic numerals for a long time.It seems that smart people do have something different from ordinary people.

"Please let Mr. Sorel recite it first, Sullivan, please wait a moment."

Fortunately, Sullivan was not like a child, so he had to fight for priority, so he stood aside and asked Solaire to recite the multiplication table first.Sorel recited it very smoothly, reciting the multiplication table gracefully and rhythmically without any mistakes;

Ye Limo couldn't help but praised and said: "Mr. Sorel, very good, there is no mistake. And I think, your rhythm is very suitable for reciting some poems, and it will make the listeners feel a kind of enjoyment."

Saurel saluted and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for your compliment. Hearing what you said, I should try to read poetry."

Ye Limo nodded and said, "Now invite Sullivan."

Although Sullivan's impression of Sorel is much better, it doesn't mean he won't regard him as an opponent anymore.Sorel recited the multiplication table so smoothly, and Sullivan did not allow himself to make mistakes.

Compared with Sorel's slow and rhythmic recitation, Sullivan's speed was much faster, which made Ye Limo inexplicably think of the children who memorized in elementary school. The recitation does not contain any emotions and emotions, but just repeats all the content.

Of course, there is indeed no room for expressing feelings in the multiplication table, and it is understandable for Sullivan to recite it in this way.

There was nothing wrong with Sullivan's recitation, and Ye Limo admired it in his heart. Of course, it was also because they were adults. Compared with children whose minds were not stable, adults were able to control their attention, stay focused, and spontaneously search for Some rules and methods help memorize, and it is not particularly magical that they can memorize them quickly and accurately.

Ye Limo said to the two of them: "This table of formulas is a very important formula in mathematics. If you can use it proficiently, you can complete many calculations in your heart, and the speed will be much faster. After memorizing it, you must often Think about it, it will help you remember and understand."

Both said they knew.

From these two people, Ye Limo came to the conclusion that the same knowledge can be easily grasped by people here, knowledge depends on whether such knowledge will be discovered and summarized.

The many little knowledge and skills I learned during my previous student days are particularly useful at this time.

Sometimes, it is these little knowledge that can bring a lot of convenience to people's life.

At this time, Ye Limo asked blacksmiths and carpenters to make a rake hook with iron teeth. Ye Limo just looked at it, and sent someone to the field to let the farmers try it out. How effective is it? The farmers have already mastered the method of using the plow proficiently, and the method of using the harrow is similar, so it should not be difficult to get started.

With these two farm tools, when most crops are planted, the work of turning the soil can be almost done.

With the farm tools at hand, the efficiency of farmers' work will be greatly improved. In places with sufficient water and heat like heat islands, no matter what kind of suitable crops are planted, they will grow vigorously.Coupled with scientific management and careful care, the grain output will not be too low.Only when food is guaranteed can people let go of having children and can afford to support so many people.Population is the driving force of development.This is why food is a very important foundation.

After this piece of land has been reclaimed, more land will continue to be reclaimed. The arable land on the heat island is almost zero, and it is just the starting point.

It is a pity that such a fertile land has been abandoned for so many years because of the barrier of the ocean and the fright of various rumors.

Ye Limo thought that he had to find a way to encourage people to participate in agricultural labor.

Soon, Ye Limo faced another problem, which was the lack of iron ore.

During this period of time, the iron used by the blacksmith to make farm tools was the abandoned cannon barrel that Sullivan found from the pirate ship. After making some farm tools, the iron raw materials would soon be used up.

As the most important metal in people's life, iron is inconvenient everywhere without it.

It is unclear whether there is iron ore on the hot island, but the demand is real. Therefore, Ye Limo has to find a way to purchase iron ore or iron ore from other countries.

The price of iron ore is definitely much cheaper than smelted iron, but this iron ore still needs people to smelt it, which is a job that requires skilled people.

When Ye Limo was trying to find a solution for the iron mine, Algal came to Ye Limo very happily.He finally made what Ye Limo wanted, that is concave lens and convex lens.

Algal handed over two transparent glasses to Ye Limo, and couldn't hide his joy on his face.

Ye Limo looked at it and found that it was a concave lens and a convex lens. He was very happy and asked, "How did you make it?"

Al Geller said: "I am a blacksmith, Your Majesty. What I thought of was to create such a model with glass solution, and then pour the glass solution into it. After cooling and processing, it will become a concave lens and a convex lens. In order to ensure the purity and transparency of the glass , I spent a lot of effort to make it."

Al Geller really put a lot of thought into this matter.Ye Limo was very happy, and asked the butler to give Al Geller a gold coin: "This is your reward, Al Geller, and I will let you make more glass of this kind in the future. I hope the reward will motivate you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Al Geller said excitedly.

The author has something to say: I worked so hard to write it, thank you everyone, okay~
