Section 36: True Counterpart
In fact, there are many people who are critical of Bagu, such as Wu Jingzi, who wrote "The History of Confucianism", but he is from the Qing Dynasty and has not yet been born. Besides, the general folk voice can't be spread, and the people who have the right to speak in this era are those who make a fortune by relying on Bagu, who dares to criticize Bagu is not the same as digging their ancestral graves? Therefore, ordinary people have no chance to set off a storm. Only Jiang Tian was an exception at this time. Because in addition to the identity of a showman, he is also a representative figure who has become rich by his new learning, and the incident of resignation has been spreading recently, and at the same time, this person also has the unique ability to arrange cross talk jokes, and what he said can find supporters at all levels, and it also occupies the height of royal public opinion. Although it is an exception, it should not be too sharp, otherwise the rafters that come out first will rot first. Therefore, after doing enough, he had to return to the existing line of the imperial court, and turn the criticism of Confucianism as a whole to the body of critical science and some Sven scum. Even if he "corrects his mistakes" in a timely manner, he will inevitably be attacked by a group. After all, science is still the mainstream in this world, of course, those who scold him are also very careful about proportion, try to find some Jiang Tian's own problems to make a fuss, and don't expand the scope of the attack. Because critical science was first put forward by the current saints, but it has not been able to form a climate in the academic world, and those bigwigs in the court know very well that they can't participate in this problem, even if some people who tend to be attached to the flames want to gain favor through this, they must see if they have enough weight, after all, as long as those famous Confucians don't speak, what others say is in vain. Now there's finally someone who can spoil the game.
is different from what many people imagine, although many people are working hard to dig up Jiang Tian's various black materials in order to achieve the purpose of making this kid stink, but he seems to have appeared in the capital out of thin air, no one knows what his background is, except for the identity of this Xiucai, even the ancestral home of this person does not know. All those who have information are silent about this, and the only thing that can be understood is the various deeds of his repaid kindness at the beginning, and the rest is only rumored in the community that this person is a leading figure in the new learning, and is quite appreciated by the saints today. Therefore, Jiang Tian's life has not been disrupted for the time being, and he continues to swagger in and out of Beijing every day, even if someone asks, he only knows that he is hired by the Academy of Sciences to supervise all kinds of strange things. You said that in the face of such a person, those literati who are good at scolding and fighting really have nowhere to speak, and they have a new learning to rely on, anyway, the other party doesn't care about the fame of this talent, you just say that you will not damage others at all if you break the sky, but you have achieved the reputation of the other party.
"Your craft here is getting better and better." Jiang Tian put down a piece of lens and sighed sincerely: "Even if John Tang is still alive, I'm afraid he won't be able to make a better telescope than this." ”
Song Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, the batch of goods that Jiang Tian was inspecting was not the engineering samples that had been before, these were all trial products that had begun to be manufactured in small batches, and if the quality could be guaranteed, this would be transferred to large-scale manufacturing. Now Jiang Tian affirmed their quality, that is to say, the telescope will be a must-have item in the hands of high- and middle-level generals, and maybe every captain who sails away will buy a Chinese telescope to go to sea in the future.
"It's all Brother Jiang's credit." Song Yi said lightly: "It's just that your two kinds of telescopes are still being tested, especially the reflective telescope, although the structure is simple, but the precision requirements for processing are the highest, and it is difficult to see results for a while." ”
Jiang Tian waved his hand: "Don't worry, anyway, that kind of telescope is also for Qin Tianjian, and ordinary people can't use it at all." ”
Thinking of his grandfather's words at home, Song Yi still decided to ask Jiang Tian clearly: "Brother Muhua, although your radical remarks have spread widely, my ancestor still made it clear to me that as long as you still want to enter the court as an official, there is no way." But I don't know what you're thinking about. ”
Jiang Tian frowned and thought for a while: "Actually, I'm used to being idle, and I don't want to be restrained, and when today's son is glorious in all directions, there is no shortage of capable people around me, and it is not easy for a mountain village man like me to enter the house." ”
So far, Jiang Tian has used various excuses to avoid the topic of being an official, everyone knows that he doesn't care about putting on official clothes and entering the house, in addition to the pity that such a person is not controlled, Old Man Song also sees that there must be some kind of reason why people can't be known, with the emperor's attitude of wanting to snare strange people in the world, there is no further instruction until now, which is very abnormal in itself. At present, whether it is the anti-Confucian faction or the pro-Confucian faction in the court, it is not sure of the idea, which has created a situation in which the civil debate is fierce, but the government has no movement. As the initiator of this qiē, Jiang Tian was also mentally prepared, the reason why he provoked such a high-profile confrontation between the old and new forces before escaping was to muddy the existing political pattern, so as to create an opportunity for himself to fish in troubled waters, once the attention of everyone was successfully diverted, it was time for him to withdraw and flash people.
As for his lingering in the workshop so far, it is not to urge the other party to fulfill his promise, on the one hand, he does this to confuse the other party, so that people think that he will not disappear before he gets all the silver, and on the other hand, he is also a little reluctant to the most powerful academy of sciences in this time and space, Jiang Tian is very aware of the necessity of the academy of sciences, and he also knows that this is completely supported by the senior's personal will, if it cannot be improved in the hearts of the world in a short period of time, If you don't get it right, it's the same as when Zheng He went to the West.
Stroking a telescope casually, Jiang Tian asked softly in a deep voice, "Have you written down the workflow I gave you a few days ago?" ”
Song Yi instinctively felt that Jiang Tian was a little strange, but he couldn't tell what the fault was: "Write it down, I really didn't know that there were so many rules and regulations before." ”
In fact, Jiang Tian summarized some of the rules and regulations that he could recall, or things like the operation process, and then handed them to Song Yi, which was the last contribution he made to the Academy of Sciences before leaving, these people in the province blindly groped, a good research system is far better than a brilliant technical bull, even if it is a figure like Newton, if there is no perfect academy system, it is impossible to bloom such a dazzling brilliance, so as a traverser, Jiang Tian still hopes that he can influence the world.
"That's good......" look up at the sky, there is not a single cloud in the crisp autumn days, maybe it won't be a hundred years before it will become a smoky London in the old time and space, and then under the threat of heavy pollution, people began to care about environmental protection and health, but it is estimated that Jiang Tian's lifespan is invisible, so for the happiness of his children and grandchildren, he or he should quickly run to a beautiful place to hide.
Song Yi felt that Jiang Tian was very abnormal, but he didn't think much about it, there were still a few hundred taels of silver left to cash, and the queen's birthday was approaching, and he was still busy with all kinds of things about gifts, don't look at his busyness, in fact, there is no Song Yi in the list of personnel of the Academy of Sciences, he is completely equivalent to a personal assistant of Song Yingxing, of course, with his ability, he will definitely take over his grandfather's mantle in the future, but scientific things are completely inhabited by capable people, and he is ready to be Jiang Tian's deputy for the rest of his life. This is also the mental essence that scientific and technological workers should have.
Jiang Tian, who returned to the teahouse, simply cleaned up his salute, he was nothing more than a few changes of clothes, and then he prepared a baggage, which was a girl's clothes bought privately, and then all packed into a small rattan box, which was prepared for Xiyun, he did not plan to tell his escape plan, but directly abducted the girl from Beijing, because the fewer people who knew about this kind of thing, the better, and then considering Boss Zhao and Zhao Zhi, the old and young, he always had an idea in his heart, anyway, both of them are surnamed Zhao, It's better to let the old man recognize Zhao Zhi's grandson, and someone will wear linen and filial piety a hundred years later, but he doesn't know what the old man thinks in his heart, and he doesn't dare to say it too bluntly, because this old guy is too shrewd, as long as he talks about things at the beginning, he can't hide it from the back, and he can only bless them in his heart. As for the tolls and the like, it's simple, carry a dozen taels of scattered silver with you, and large pieces of silver ingots have been buried in secret places outside the city these days. After he was ready to stop, he changed into the short brown of the shopkeeper and walked into the teahouse to greet the guests as if nothing had happened.
In the past few days, because of his erratic whereabouts, Zhao Zhi has been busy in front of him, this kid has to learn from Mr. Liu for an hour of storytelling during the day, and he has to help in the store at night, which is completely a standard apprentice in the old society, the difference is that he does not feel that he is exploited and oppressed, but enjoys it and works hard. Sometimes Jiang Tian also observed him on the side, and often lamented that the Chinese spirit of hardship and hard work was completely forced out by life, just like him, I don't know how many unemployed teenagers envy, jealousy and hatred, if it were placed in the 21st century, it is estimated that someone would have come to the door to say that he hired child labor. The guests in the teahouse looked at Jiang Tian a little unaccustomed, originally this Xiucai cameo shop Xiao Er was also a selling point of the store, but when this shop Xiao Er has been in a beautiful scenery recently, and he has earned more money than he has seen in his life, there is always a sense of disobedience when he sees him again, to be honest, even if Jiang Tian is just wearing a robe and saying cross talk, it is more pleasing to the eye than the current dress.
Seeing that it was not yet time for Mr. Liu to speak, Jiang Tian called Zhao Zhi over and gave a few instructions, and then stood behind the desk, and then patted the wake-up wood: "On the first day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, after the second day of the first year, the third day of the first month, the fifteenth and half months of the first month, and the thirty whole year of the month." Let me tell you a set poem first, some familiar friends know that I am going to talk about cross talk again, so what are we going to say today? Let's talk about this thief......"
As soon as he said this, Zhao Zhi, who was hiding below, spoke: "Mr. said this thief...... You don't know as much as I do! ”
Everyone knows Zhao Zhi's origin, so when he said this, the people around him must laugh, who made this kid unclean before.
"Yo, so you know what's going on with the thief?"
"Of course......," said the two of them, one by one, across the audience.
This is a long-rehearsed counterpart comedy, and it is also the beginning of Jiang Tian's painstaking efforts to make the counterpart performance on the stage, he feels that after he leaves here, Zhao Zhi will inevitably get closer and closer to the storytelling, which cannot guarantee the inheritance of the art of cross talk, so he wants to leave a completely different performance routine from the storytelling before leaving, as for how future generations should interpret and develop, it is not something he can control. But Jiang Tian didn't know that his beneficially arranged, seemingly casual form of performance, was actually the original face of historical stand-up comedy, those artists who abandoned the ground in the early days, it was this kind of face-to-face dialogue between the audience, as for the counterpart comedy that people were familiar with later, it was gradually evolved by the Republic of China # and the country.
Although Zhao Zhi is still a child, he himself used to be a member of that industry, although he is not a serious thief with a master and a sect, but he is still very convincing when he talks about these things.
“…… None of this is too high, but the real cleverness is to make you watch and take things away, and you let him take them! ”
"The more you talk, the more unpleasant it becomes......"
Due to the short rehearsal time, they spoke without delay, and the audience was also attracted by all kinds of bizarre pickpocketing methods.
“…… Sir, don't shout, I'm a thief, this piece of cloth came out of the shop in front of me, how about I sell it to you cheaply if it's too heavy? I saw that Zhao Zhi had made a full posture, put on a thief's timid expression, and then immediately transformed into a high-spirited shopkeeper: "I don't want to take away the small goods!" ”
Hearing this, the audience knew that this stupid shopkeeper let the thief move his things away in such a grand manner, and all kinds of laughter and scolding were endless, Jiang Tian beckoned Zhao Zhi to his side, and then bowed to the audience as a curtain call. This seemingly unexpected performance has since been regarded as a watershed between cross talk and storytelling. At this time, Jiang Tian faced the cheers from the audience, but he was thinking in his heart: This is the case, and there is no longer anything to worry about.
At the same time, Boss Zhao was also looking at Jiang Tian, and he instinctively judged that he was afraid that he would never see him again tomorrow.
