Bidding farewell to Mario, Gao Wenjin and Xu Qiming walked all the way to the Jinyi Wei School.

Xu Qiming said: "Listening to Mr. Gao's words, it turns out that Qin Feng is already quite famous. I stayed in church all day, and I really didn't know that there were such characters in Nanchang. ”

Gao Wenjin felt the same way: "A few days ago, I also stayed in the academy. When I came out, I knew that life was full of knowledge, and it was a waste to be trapped in a couple. Why does Mr. Xu stay in church all the time? ”

"Oh, Mr. Gao misunderstood, although my life is not happy, I still have my own pursuits. I stayed in the church, not in a couple's relationship, but with Mr. Mario translating a book of Western studies. After translation, the title geometry. ”

"Geometry? It's an interesting name. Gao Wenjin smiled: "It turned out that I misunderstood Mr. Xu." Just because I was trapped in a couple a few days ago, I felt a little emotional, Mr. Xu, don't blame. ”

The two were chatting, and as soon as they arrived at the gate of the school field, they heard a group of broken voices roaring and singing.

When I entered the door, there was a circle of men sitting in the school yard, waving their hands vigorously, shrugging their bodies, tearing open their voices and howling songs.

In the middle is a tall young man, his face is full of excitement, his hands are waving rhythmically, and he keeps turning his body in the circle of people.

When Gao Wenjin and Xu Qiming walked in, Qin Feng nodded, said hello, and continued to conduct his choir. Absolutely, there were several times just now, Qin Feng felt that he had returned to the time of military training in college, with familiar voices, familiar tones, and familiar scenes......

After singing a paragraph, Qin Feng waved his hand to let everyone rest, and then came to Gao Wenjin and said with a smile: "If you come earlier, I will also teach you to sing!" ”

"No, that's singing? That's a wolf howl. By the way, this Xu Qiming, Mr. Xu, he also understands your arithmetic, and he also knows that Westerners learn Chinese and also mark the pronunciation of letters. ”

Xu Qiming arched his hand: "I have admired Mr. Qin's name for a long time, I asked Mr. Gao to lead me to the meeting, and I took the liberty to disturb him, and I asked Mr. Qin not to blame." ”

Qin Feng said with a smile: "What's the bother, it's my honor that a talent like you is willing to come to see me!" Come, let's sit and talk. ”

"It's also my honor to be with Mr. Qin, who is famous all over the world."

The three of them walked into the main hall of the school, and Qin Feng said: "The school is shabby, and there is no hospitality, so I can only sit and talk." Find a good place to go another day, and then make a good gift to Mr. Xu. ”

Xu Qiming said with a smile: "Mr. Qin is polite, listening to Mr. Qin, he is a straightforward person." So I'm going to get straight to the point? ”

"Mr. Xu, please speak up."

"I don't know how much Mr. Qin knows about Western arithmetic?"

Finance undergraduates, if you only look at mathematics, in this era, should be the first person in Dahua.

Qin Feng said truthfully: "It's okay, I only say that I learn mathematics in the West, and few people in Dahua can compare to me." ”

Xu Qiming was stunned for a moment, and took out a few pieces of paper from his arms: "How many questions are here, Mr. Qin take a look?" ”

"Where did Mr. Xu come from these geometry questions?" Qin Feng asked casually while flipping through it.

Xu Qiming's face changed: "How do you know it's geometry?" ”

Qin Feng was stunned, Xu Qiming, Xu Guangqi? Are these two mathematicians in different planes doing the same thing?

"This is a mathematical work written by the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid, translated into Chinese, I think it is most appropriate to use geometry. I had planned to translate this book when I had time, but I didn't have time for it because of the many things I had to do. I haven't done this yet, how can Dahua have? So I'm curious, where did Mr. Xu come from? "Instead of you asking me, I'll ask you.

Xu Qiming's face changed uncertainly, things in the world are too coincidental, right?! I'm translating, and you say you're going to translate, and I'm naming it Geometry, and you're naming it Geometry.

But how can this be explained?

"What a coincidence, I'm now translating this book with Mr. Mario, and I'm planning to name it Geometry when I translate it." Xu Qiming struggled inwardly and said: "It's like the pinyin you launched, the dictionary." Maybe in a few days, I'll do the same, but you'll get the first time. Translating geometry was also a preemptive step by me. ”

"Haha, it seems that Mr. Xu and I have a common hobby! Well, since you have taken the lead, you can do this thing that will leave a name for the ages! Qin Feng smiled generously.

"Leave a name through the ages?" Xu Qiming was surprised.

"Yes, the vicissitudes of life, the change of dynasty. Thousands of years later, you and the geometry you translated will still be used and learned by the world. The people can't remember the princes and generals in the past, but they can remember your name Xu Qiming! Qin Feng looked at Xu Qiming, who was stunned, and then looked at Gao Wenjin with a confused face: "Because, this is a knowledge that can change the world, and this is a knowledge that will be passed on forever." ”

"How do you know?" Xu Qiming was a little excited, no one understood his approach, and every time he explained to others and explained this knowledge, he was ridiculed as a sideshow. Even he himself is seen as not doing his job. But he knew that it was useful learning.

Since ancient times, the pioneers who stand at the top of the industry are lonely, lonely, and not understood. Because no one understands him.

Therefore, Xu Qiming is only willing to stay in the church, with Mario, and quietly do what he likes.

At present, Qin Feng admired geometry so much, and even said that he could leave a name for eternity, Xu Qiming had mixed feelings for a while. The so-called money is easy, and it is difficult to find a confidant! Xu Qiming was also afraid that Qin Feng would be perfunctory, so he blurted out: "How do you know?" "It's the same as Chang Daochang, who was engaged in chemistry at the beginning.

Of course I know that counting algebra, I have been studying it myself for more than ten years!

"Because I know the benefits of this discipline. can make the world have earth-shaking changes, and the ability to change the world! It's just that now the world is full of ignorant people, and all the people who read are obsessed with the Four Books and the Five Classics, and they are like a flock, lost lambs, each lamb can only see the ass of the former sheep, and then strive to follow. Only the shepherd can see the direction of the flock, and the sheep are in flocks, so the shepherd is alone. Qin Feng turned his head to Gao Wenjin and said, "I told Mr. Xu the truth, but don't spread it." Spread the word, I have offended all the scholars in the world! ”

Gao Wenjin rolled his eyes: "Don't you know that you have offended me?" I'm also a sheep that can only see the buttocks? ”

Qin Feng said with a smile: "Look at the students of the academy, they only have one wish, Zhongju!" Jin Shi and the first! Everyone thinks so, and they all take the predecessors with the title of the gold list as an example. Don't you all look at the sheep butt in front? But you now have your own direction, your goal! So, you've leveled up, you're also a shepherd! ”

Xu Qiming also laughed and said, "Mr. Gao, can you tell me where you are going?" What is the goal? ”

Gao Wenjin raised his chin to Qin Feng: "Help him build ......"

"Stop, stop! Not for me, not for me. It's us, it's us! ”

Gao Wenjin rolled his eyes again and said slowly: "Our militia wants to be invincible in the world!" To be admired by all people! You also want to be rich and rich! ”

"Invincible in the world? What a big ambition! I want to ask, Mr. Qin, Mr. Gao, what is the final basis for an army, invincible in the world? Xu Qiming asked.

Gao Wenjin looked at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng pondered for a moment and said, "There are many factors for the army to win, what to fight, who to fight for, and why to fight!" Logistical support, military support, people's heart, environment, weather, etc. But I thought, most importantly, the combat equipment of the sergeant! For example, the sergeant's weapon, the horse, this is the most important thing. The first war, with stones. Later with bronze, iron. Time passed, and there were bows and arrows, stone carts, siege engines, and cavalry. Later, there were heavy cavalry, trebuchets, large bows, and artillery. When it comes to war alone, whether weapons can take the lead is the first place! ”

"Well said!" Xu Qiming clapped his hands and said: "Dahua finally has someone who can see this!" Those who claim to be capable people, when they talk about this topic, all say: A virtuous teacher, fearless of the world. The army of kings, invincible in the world. It's all! What kind of royal division, they were all chopped melons and vegetables by the cavalry in the north, and they were beaten to the ground! In the end, I still formed my own cavalry, so I had a little counterattack ability, and that was also by horses! Relying on ideological education, the next time Jianyu comes again, will those moral monarchs dare to carry the four treasures of the study to naturalize? ”

"In this world, there are many people who talk about it. Some people just say they don't do it, and some people can't do it if they want to. Qin Feng agreed.

Xu Qiming nodded: "Yes!" Your militia, what's the next step in deploying weapons? ”

"Yes, vigilante groups can be armed. But it's not a configuration, it's for the militia to buy it at their own expense, or make it themselves. ”

"Spend your own money to buy it? Do you know the arquebuses of the Dahua army? You can buy other broadswords, bows and arrows, but don't buy arquebuses. Xu Qiming looked angry.

"Why is that? What does Mr. Xu say? "Qin Feng originally really planned to buy some arquebuses. This is the most advanced weapon of this era.

"The arquebuses that were previously bought from the West were okay. In recent years, the arquebuses made by the Dahua Firearms Bureau themselves have been shoddy, with different barrel thicknesses and thicknesses. Even the specifications of gunpowder are different, and the dosage cannot be determined. Hit once, there are many processes, whether it rings or not depends on luck, as for whether it can hit the target, it depends on the will of God. Musketeers, talking about the color change of guns, it is better to hold a spear steadily. Xu Qiming shook his head and sighed.

Qin Feng listened to it straight, and the other time and space line of the Ming Dynasty, firearms could not do bows, arrows and spears. Dahua here, the same is the same, the same fate?

"Thank you Brother Xu for reminding me that our militia was able not to spend this unjust money. However, the ordnance is like this, how to fight! Qin Feng let out a long sigh and looked melancholy.

Xu Qiming nodded: "I used to work as a small official in the Firearms Bureau, and I suggested that the musket be reformed, and the standard should be unified, the specifications should be unified, the dosage should be unified, and the lead pill should be unified. To achieve fixed loading, it will be able to increase the firing range and speed up the reloading. I studied hard for months and sprinkled tens of thousands of words, but I was scoffed at by the Firearms Bureau. I was tired of looking for it, and people finally couldn't bear it anymore, so they said, you specialize in muskets, and your statement makes sense! But the imperial court has an eye on the whole country. If the muskets are all recalled and transformed as you said, the silver consumption is huge, what about the silver? Your various unity, say it, just one word. To do it, how many people are involved? How many things? It is simply impossible to unify the national system. As for the unification of the barrel, it is even more necessary to have the same standards for steelmaking and ironmaking, and these standards are formulated and implemented. It is far from being solved by consuming silver. So, you're in the air, and naturally no one cares about it. ”

Qin Feng listened to it gloomily and said: "The disadvantages of a country are hard to return!" ”

Gao Wenjin was silent, secretly sad, I don't know if Mr. has a long-cherished wish, is it also a castle in the air?

Xu Qiming said again: "I still don't want to give up, I tried my best, I found that the flint hit spark can be directly installed on the firing device!" It is more convenient and faster than the fire of the fire rope. I wrote another book of 10,000 words, but it still fell into the sea. When I asked again, they said, "There is no silver, and the muskets have been stopped." Your design can only be shelved. ”

Flintlock pistol! Qin Feng's eyes widened, this is the combination of Xu Guangqi and Bi Maokang in front of Nima?

This is a master of firearms and ordnance! Talent!

Gao Wenjin sighed: "Mr. Xu, then what?" ”

"Then I was disheartened, and every time I learned that the war in the north had been lost, I could only be sad and helpless! My generation was weak, and in the end I had to find something I liked and talk about it. Xu Qiming shook his head.

"It's hard for the court to change from top to bottom! But we can change from the bottom up! The north is becoming more and more powerful, Dahua is in a lot of domestic crises, once the world is in chaos, the lives are ruined, and thousands of people are alive, how innocent is it? ! Qin Feng got up and said, "The court is troublesome about all the things in the court." The original intention of our generation is to open peace for all generations! Why don't you try hard, but all the time? As Mr. Xu said just now, the painstaking efforts to be shelved are nothing more than a lack of money! I'm in charge of making money, you're in charge of improving the ordnance, and together with Wenjin, we'll build an invincible militia. Don't ask for the salvation of the world, but for the safety of one party! But please wait for me not to change my original intention! How is it? ”

Xu Qiming was stunned for a while, nodded suddenly, and squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "Okay!" ”
