Tian Zhenyi's letter is completely from a perspective similar to "Gong Dou".

Women's minds and perspectives are always different from men's.

But after reading it, Liu Yu felt that this angle of looking at the problem seemed to be a little interesting, and if he thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case.

The emperor had indeed beaten him once before, but the beating after pacifying the Western Regions was too light, it was like touching his head and pinching his nose.

Tian Zhenyi used a strange analogy, as if to say that the emperor "entered the play too deeply, and really regarded himself as the Han Wu Tang Sect", so he was too deep in the play and regarded Liu Yu as Huo Quai.

And Huo Qu died too early, and after the "Huns" of Dashun were pacified, if "Huo Quai" had not died, what should be the positioning?

If you want to do great things in Nanyang, then be an orthodox noble. If you want to change internally, be a qualified staff officer.

What to do, you can do quietly, but don't say it; Those things that must be said do not express their position, but only tell the emperor about the pros and cons, let the emperor "make a holy judgment", and do not express an attitude of support or opposition.

In this letter, the "woman" flavor is a little too strong, and this is not "personnel is politics", but "human affection is politics".

Let Liu Yu seize the buffer period of the past few years to complete the "image change" in the emperor's heart, which makes Liu Yu have to think more.

The letters behind are all some interesting things in the capital, and Qi Guogong's family affairs after returning from the Rakshasa, and the words are full of the joy of a little girl, and Qi Guogong seems to have expressed his support for the marriage between the two intentionally or unintentionally, at least not against it.

But at the end of the letter, it should be that Tian Zhenyi suddenly remembered something, and carefully instructed another thing.

"Third brother, I almost forgot. Huang Huai's governance, as Mr. Kang said, to do everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. ”

"Everything is ready, including the Huai River treatment plan after the abandonment of the water transport in the future."

"However, tens of millions, tens of thousands, tens of thousands, never send people from Jinghai Palace who have studied practical science and mathematics to search, study, investigate, or even find someone to make plans. Want to make a plan? Your Majesty also needs to arrange for people to do it. ”

Where does the letter end? There is no more, and the last paragraph is also written through the back of the paper? It was completely different from the happy woman in front of her.

A fire burned the letter clean? Rubbing his head, he tore up the music he had prepared.

I don't have to express my support for shipping? Just like Kang Buxian said, this time the shipping was successful? has bound himself to the shipping pie.

What Tian Zhenyi and Kang Buxian said makes sense? Then you might as well compromise.

This time, Tan Zhen wants to take the opportunity of the successful trial of shipping to talk about scrapping and changing to the sea, but now, maybe the time has really not come.

I can only continue to wait. The more you talk about at this time? What will really happen in the future? It's really like slapping the emperor in the face.

The face of the emperor, in the eyes of the emperor, may be more important than hundreds of thousands of ordinary people.

Thinking that Tan Zhen may not be using himself as a gunman, but he can only use a way that Tan Zhen may not like to cooperate with the ideas of the shipping faction.

…………

When the winter moon arrives? There are many events this year, and the festival envoys from all over the country will enter Beijing.

Liu Yu took Lian Huaiguan, who visited Songjiang for a period of time, into Beijing together? There is no snow in Batavia, and no snow has ever been seen at all? Lian Huaiguan, who saw the snowflake scene for the first time, seemed very excited.

The brothers who followed him were all trembling? And the carriage with the glass window was not what they were riding? These Batavia-grown people also don't ride horses.

Dressed like a bear? Wrapped in cotton clothes, he trembled all the way to the capital.

Liu Yu's Earl's Mansion has not yet been built, but fortunately, he has no shortage of accommodation in the capital, and after arranging these people, he went to the capital to inquire about the news.

Knowing that the DPRK has also sent tribute envoys this year, it seems that the DPRK side still has a big opinion on the matter of the Celestial Empire wanting to lease a few pieces of land.

After settling down, Liu Yu saw the person he was supposed to see, and went to his uncle's house, and his cousin Dang Xuanming did not stay in Europe, but returned with the mission.

The uncle who had been reforming the land in the southwest also came back, and after the visit, his cousin Dang Xuanming also knew Liu Yu's purpose and took out a thick stack of books.

When leaving, it is still called "keep normal"; When he came back, Liu Yu had already been knighted, even at home, he still called the official name first, and after Liu Yu politely said that you and my cousin don't have to be like this, then he called the table.

Dang Xuanming's room had been fitted with glass, and it was rubbed extremely bright by the servants. The wind and snow outside were blocked by the glass, but it couldn't block the sun's rays, and it was noon, and the sun was warm.

These glasses were presented to the emperor by Liu Yujin a few years ago, and the emperor rewarded them to the ministers.

Driven by the palace and ministers, the capital has risen in recent years to change the trend of changing glass, of course, the most important thing is that the glass is cheaper.

In the past, it was a luxury product, and those who were officials paid attention to honesty, at least on the surface. Even if you could afford to buy glass for fifteen or sixteen taels of silver back then, it was too ostentatious: in the palace, there were several places where the emperor read books before, and if his own house was all replaced with glass, it would be a little too eye-catching.

Nowadays, even if the glass is taxed before leaving the factory, the price is still affordable for the wealthy families in the capital. From luxury to everyday necessities, no one would choose window paper that is black compared to glass.

Dang Xuanming didn't think anything of it, this time he followed Qi Guogong to Europe, and he stayed for a long time, and he saw a lot of things like glass windows.

"Shouchang, I've brought you all the books you want. There are also some things, on the Qi State Mansion. I can't read this "British Star Catalog" and "Southern Hemisphere Star Catalog". It's just that you deliberately asked when you left, which I dare not forget. ”

From a stack of books, he took out the two books that Liu Yu had carefully told him before leaving, and handed them to Liu Yu. Liu Yu rolled his eyes, looked at the name, and was sure that this was what he wanted.

"Fourth brother, it's hard work. These two books are so important. That, when I said that you should help me send gifts and letters, just those people in the Rakshasa Academy Academy, did they reply to the letter? ”

Dang Xuanming nodded.

"Not with me, at Qi Guogong's. He knew that what you did would be of great use, and when he was in the Rakshasa Kingdom, he sent people to visit him and gave gifts. By the way, when I was in Paris, someone asked me to bring me a book. It seems that his son is an academician of the Academy of Sciences in Rakshasa and he is not a small country in Switzerland. ”

When he spoke Switzerland, it was in Latin, and he didn't know how to translate it.

Turned out a copy of the "Integral Course" written by John Bernoulli of the Bernoulli family, and looking at the name on it, Liu Yu couldn't help but think of the famous transaction.

Lobida spent money to buy the "Lobida Law" from Bernoulli, relying on gold coins to be famous in the history of science for eternity, and future generations of college students must learn Lobida's Law, this transaction is really profitable.

Dang Xuanming smiled: "This person is quite interesting. Before we left for the Rakshasas, didn't Your Majesty give the young people in the Rakshasa mission a dismount? Something went wrong. This man heard about it from his son, and sent him a book all the way to Paris, and asked me to bring a letter. ”

gave the letter to Liu Yu, Liu Yu read it, and couldn't help laughing, saying in his heart that this person was indeed interesting.

There are two things in the letter.

First of all, he didn't believe that the fastest speed reduction problem was the content of the Dashun ordinary exam.

If such questions are the content of ordinary exams in Dashun, then a lot of the research he has done seems to be meaningless repeating the work that others have already done.

In addition, the letter repeatedly reiterated that Newton's theory of universal gravitation was wrong, and Descartes' theory of the aetheric vortex was the real reason to explain the movement of celestial bodies.

This is not to say that he secretly made evil, but this man really believed in Descartes's mechanical materialist theory of the aetheric vortex, and for this reason, he had a lot of talk with Newton: he was a good friend of Leibniz, and in order to spray Newton, he spared no effort, and even took the British to spray it together, which can be described as the king of trash talk in mathematics at this time.

The letter was written in Latin, and although Dang Xuanming recognized some words, he also did not recognize some special proper nouns, and there were a large number of strange symbols on them, and he was not interested.

Just look at the corner of Liu Yu's mouth when he reads the letter, and he says in his heart, this is strange, if I take Tang poems and Song poems to those people, where do they know how good it is? On the other hand, the dramas they showed me, I couldn't understand the babbling.

But these strange symbols, separated by tens of thousands of miles, can communicate with this person on a regular basis, and even fight with mouths?

It seems that these should all be some kind of learning like the sun rising in the east, regardless of whether it is Eastern or Western.

After Liu Yu finished reading the letter, Dang Xuanming pointed to the two star catalogs and said, "What are these two books for?" ”

"Hey, those things from Qin Tianjian. The main thing is that I am useful at sea, and since someone else has made it out, I can use it as soon as I use it, but I also save myself from observing. The main thing is this "Southern Hemisphere Star Catalog", which is really difficult for us to get out, so I pay special attention to it, even if it costs nothing. ”

After some explanation, Dang Xuanming didn't understand it very well.

Liu Yu also knows that although these two catalogs are very important, they still can't look at the sky to know where they are until a genius solves the problem of lunar orbit.

Fortunately, I heard Dang Xuanming say that Oura, who he was concerned about, wrote a reply letter to himself, which was in the hands of Qi Guogong. Perhaps, under his own influence, Euler could have solved this lunar orbit problem earlier?

As long as Euler can solve the problem of lunar orbit, he can organize people to take the lead in compiling an astronomical calendar, and Dashun's navy can be half a position ahead of Britain on the problem of navigation: although the navigation clock is good, it cannot be mass-produced, and Britain's current lead has not reached the point where it cannot be surpassed.

Putting away these books, Liu Yu was most interested in what these people felt after they came back from going to Europe.

Asked about this, Dang Xuanming couldn't help laughing.

"This Frenchman seems to have a hobby. I like to let people see how they attack the city. ”

Liu Yu also smiled: "Yes, it's an old tradition." ”

"Well, not long after we arrived in France, France started fighting with others. Your Majesty sent us to see how Westerners fight. I thought that the French would not agree to the important affairs of the military state, who would have thought that the French would say that they have always had a tradition of inviting people to visit the besieged city. ”

"This time I attacked a place called Philipsburg, it is said that the former French marshal Vauban besieged it, and it used your method of digging a hole to advance. This time I hit this place again, and this time it was a marshal who led the team, and I heard that it was the illegitimate son of the King of England, and a woman surnamed Churchill. ”

"It's a mess, his uncle seems to be a marshal of England, he is a marshal of France. After the French, they said that Marshal Vauban was the one who attacked Phelpsburg, and he was familiar with the road, and he also asked me to see the French siege methods, which had the meaning of showing force. ”

"The French boast to us that their ability to besiege cities and forts is unparalleled in the world."

Speaking of this, Dang Xuanming couldn't help it and laughed.

"As a result, this French marshal had a bad life, and when the siege was ...... Hahaha, by coincidence, he was killed by the defenders' artillery. We watched half of it, and the second half of it was all French jokes. ”
