sent away July, ushered in August, and only a few days have passed, but the two cooperate very well:

In the morning, Chang Tianhao wanted to go to the New Century Report to see the situation as usual, and at noon he slipped out to have dinner with Cheng Cheng, and in the afternoon, in addition to buying books by himself, he was also responsible for selecting books for her and accompanying her to read, and spent the whole afternoon in the air-conditioning of the bookstore.

The two days of weekends are what Cheng Cheng is looking forward to the most, because Chang Tianhao can accompany her for almost a day.

The two of them would take advantage of the break, lunch and drinks to exchange various opinions.

Chang Tianhao is very regular, except for the crossing of the street, there are no other intimate actions, but once he probably got lost in reading a book, put his hand on Cheng Cheng's shoulder, and then quietly put it down in less than 3 seconds.

The girl subconsciously asked, "What did you just do?"

"It's nothing, you have a fly in your hair, I helped you get rid of it. ”

Cheng Cheng thought to himself: This is a liar! I wash my hair every day, and I am in the bookstore, where do the flies come from? Master Chang was able to fabricate rats for the first time, and now he can naturally fabricate flies!

was supposed to expose him, but when the words came to his lips, the ghost became: "Thank you, I hate flies......"

Chang Tianhao only nodded slightly, and didn't say anything else, and in the afternoon, he found that the girl was sitting closer to him.

For a 40-year-old soul, he has had a crush, an affair, been chased, chased by others, fell in love and broke up at the beginning of college, fell in love and broke up again in graduate school, got married, had children, divorced after graduation, loved, hated, hurt, hurt, and indifferent......

Except for not looking for Xiao San, all the vigorous and heart-rending scenes have been experienced, and the subtle movements have calmly not been able to make too many waves.

Of course, he has a burden in his heart, and the more he is reborn, the heavier his emotional baggage becomes, and since he has chosen a different path of rebirth, he will abandon everything in the past and start over. Fortunately, I was reborn in the third year of high school, and the road ahead is still very long, and the possibilities for exploration are also very strong......

Of course, as a little bourgeoisie's inferior nature, sometimes it will inevitably expose cynicism and self-defeating attitudes, which is human nature.

Chang Tianhao is a human being, not a god, and he never wants to become a god who is neither sad nor happy, not angry, not resentful, not arguing, and not being heard.

That kind of existence is like a walking dead in his eyes.

In the next few days, Chang Tianhao took Machiavelli's "The Monarchy", Toynbee's "Historical Research", Spengler's "The Decline of the West" and Paul Kennedy's "The Rise and Fall of Great Powers" from the bookshelf, and then recommended to Cheng Cheng the just-published Samuel Huntington's "The Clash of Civilizations and the Reconstruction of World Order".

"The use of civilizational confrontation to interpret and explain historical developments and real international politics is the work of these scholars, and Samuel Huntington's work may seem shocking, but in fact as the earth becomes more and more connected, the scenes he predicted will continue to appear in the future......"

Cheng Cheng nodded and accepted the book, thinking that what she just said was Chang Tianhao's own understanding.

Only Chang Tianhao understands that the confrontation between Eastern and Western civilizations predicted by Huntington is alive and well 20 years later, but it has taken a different trajectory: it is not the confrontation between East and West, but the conflict between traditional Christian society and the Green Religion, whether it is the 2 planes that 911 crashed into the World Trade Center or the womb war under the cover of the white left, the clash of civilizations is gradually destroying and tearing apart the foundation of Western civilization.

Even the salesman knows that there is a boy who will accompany this beautiful girl to read and buy books every day, and sit all afternoon. When she knew that one of them had passed the Hujiang exam and the other had passed the Shangcai exam, she hated to go back and teach her children who were hiding at home to play games and watch TV: "Look at people!"

Unconsciously, Chang Tianhao and Cheng Yushi also became children in people's mouths.

On August 5, Chang Tianhao bought the last batch of books, including Qian Mu's "Outline of National History", Braudel's "Material Civilization, Economy and Capitalism from the 15th to the 18th Century", Max Weber's "Protestant Ethics and the Spirit of Capitalism", Tocqueville's "The Old System and the Great Revolution", etc., his bookshelf has been almost replenished, and the rudiments of literature, history, philosophy, economics, management, and law have been initially established, and everything you want to see is basically there.

According to the usual practice, he also recommended a copy of Huang Renyu's "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" to Cheng Cheng, inspiring: "The textbook talks about the Wanli period, saying that the emperor did not go to court for more than 20 years and the system collapsed......;

Cheng Yushi nodded, this is a portrayal of a standard textbook.

"Of course Wanli has his problems, but I have other ideas about this matter. Wanli has not been in court for more than 20 years, and the center of the Ming Dynasty can still maintain basic normal operation, and there are even the three major campaigns of Wanli, which shows that the cabinet is basically effective and the operation is smooth, isn't this system in line with the concept of the hypocrisy? or in line with the traditional Chinese portrayal of the Son of Heaven ruling vertically, as for Zheng Guifei...... "Chang Tianhao smiled," She is only 2 years younger than Wanli, and she is about 40 years old when she is most favored, an emperor who has 3,000 beauties in the harem and keeps drafting every year, and loves a middle-aged and elderly woman in her forties and fifties, and spoils her until she dies when she is almost 60 years old.

Cheng Yushi's face was full of consternation: "Ah...... Only 2 years younger? I thought it was the age between Emperor Tang Ming and Yang Guifei (34 years apart). ”

Therefore, Hu Shi's evaluation of history as a little girl who is obedient and dressed up by others is not wrong at all. The worldview is there, the methodology is there, and the question depends on how you look at it...... Also, let me say one more thing, do you know how Wanli's son Emperor Taichang died?"

"I don't know!"

"I just became the emperor, indulged in wine, and ten women at night, and died violently in January!" Chang Fuzi said coldly, "Just because he stopped the mining tax, the history books touted him for his hard work, but unfortunately the sky is not a holiday...... You must know that although the mining tax has such and such problems, it is actually the tax of the gentry class, because only the local tyrants have the ability to open mines, without this mining tax, the central income source of the Ming Dynasty will be even more uneven, and it can only increase the exploitation of the peasants, which is also the starting point of the "15th Year of Wanli" to try to explain the demise of the Ming Dynasty with financial and numerical management chaos. ”

Cheng Cheng couldn't help but nodded, she couldn't help blushing when Master Chang talked about the "Ten Girls of the Night" just now, and then she felt that she was too careful, people were obviously talking about academic issues, and the slightest embarrassment passed.

She responded, "I now believe Lili's story that you went to look up a lot of background information in order to improve a point and a half, and she said that you have a very low cost ratio. ”

Chang Tianhao nodded: "I know, in fact, I'm not for that one and a half points, I'm for the pursuit of the Tao in my heart, or to use a more fashionable word - truth." How many people don't like to watch those courses after the college entrance examination, because they don't love these, just for the scores, and I don't just want the scores. Aristotle said: Some people live to eat, but I eat to live. I may not be able to reach the realm of Aristotle in my life, but at least I can work in this direction, just like Lu Xun said that the sleepy people in the iron house, I may not be able to wake up others, but at least I can move forward towards the light......"

The little girl's eyes were shining, and she blinked, "I can follow you......"

"Didi ......"

The BP machine rang out at an inopportune time, Chang Tianhao looked at it, and smiled apologetically: "The company is looking for me, I don't know what's going on, I'll call back first." ”

Xiaoqin said on the other end of the phone: "Master Hao...... Mr. Gao came back from a business trip, and he said that there is a project that you want to talk about. ”

"What project?"

"You may be interested in external futures. ”

Chang Tianhao thought for a while: "I can't come today, I'll be here tomorrow morning, you can help me make an appointment with my senior brother......"

"Okay, no problem! About half past nine, and he had a morning meeting at half past eight. ”

"Okay!"

The first volume of "College Entrance Examination" is over, and the second volume of "August Storm" is about to begin......
