Liu Ximing saw that the two brothers and sisters were scorched by the information he provided, and thought that the Xie family was worthy of deep friendship, so he continued on Xie Chunxi's words.

"What Xian Mei said is another problem, the Chinese scholars have always thought that the sky is round, and it is because of you that you think that Bai Di is from west to east, but in fact, it is not. When the little Franc machine first sent a fleet to explore, it continued to the west of its country, but it ended up in the east of China. ”

Xie Chunxi was so frightened that he couldn't close his mouth all of a sudden, and exclaimed: "All the way to the west but to the east, this, this shows that the ground is round?" ”

"No way, how can the earth be round, and won't the man fall?" Xie Wenle looked unbelieving and hurriedly retorted.

Liu Ximing's reaction to them is not strange, people's first reaction after being completely subverted is, of course, questioning, and only when they come up with definite evidence, most people will believe it.

"Brother Shi's words are to the point, but the saying that the earth is round has long been known to Chinese scholars. As early as the Wanli period, the Bai Di missionary Matteo Ricci had come to China by boat, he had presented the "Kunyu Wanguo Quantu" to Ouchi, and also made it into a spherical map to give to the royal gentry. As for what Brother Xie said about how people stand on top of the ball, Bai Di has no one to answer now. However, the younger brother looks at the changes of heaven and earth, the growth of all things, and combines the theory of the circle of the earth, and believes that the reason why people can stand on the sphere is because the earth has its own gravitational force, and its force is not visible, but it fills the heaven and the earth, and always pulls us to the surface, otherwise how to explain throwing things into the sky, and this thing will eventually fall back to the ground. ”

That's right, I'm so shameless, Liu Ximing feels that he is really unreasonable and strong, and after a few years to figure out the law of gravitation, this thing will be surnamed Liu. Waha, sure enough, mentally handicapped children are much happier.

It's just that I pity the unborn Newton, whose great achievements were stolen by shameless Chinese.

Xie Chunxi was already looking at Liu Ximing with little stars in his eyes at this time, this brother not only has a good character and good looks, but also has nothing to say about his knowledge, what is it.

Oops, shame.

Liu Ximing saw Xie Chunxi looking at him with a flushed face, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his face, what's wrong with this little girl?

Xie Wenle said a little dejectedly: "Bai Di beast, but can know what China does not know, where it goes, we have never heard of, is there really something inferior to Chinese learning?" ”

"Brother Wenle can't be presumptuous, Bai Di can find out the size of the world, and it does prove that his civilization theory has merit, but I am not far behind. When Emperor Yongle was the emperor, he sent the eunuchs of the Three Treasures to sail to the sea, and the deepest part of it was not far from the country of Baidi. It is only in the past 100 years that outdated and conservative learning has poisoned China, causing Chinese scholars to only talk about sex and reason, and do not know how to delve into the principles of external objects, and then they have fallen behind. If we can sweep away the decadent spirit of Shilin and lift our Chinese spirit, then the world will be dominated by China! ”

Speaking of this, Liu Xi's inspiration flashed, and he studied the principle of external objects, which can be used as a breakthrough point in the fusion of mind, in other words, isn't this thing to promote science, and then go back to in-depth research.

Kan Dashan actually solved an important problem in the future, Liu Ximing immediately became a little excited, and his interest in talking increased greatly.

Xie Wenle and his siblings had never heard of these novel doctrines, and the three of them went to the garden pavilion to sit down and talk carefully.

Xie Chunxi was particularly interested in overseas scenery, and sat next to Liu Ximing and pulled his sleeve to ask questions, but fortunately, Comrade Liu came from the later generations of the information explosion, although he had not been to many places, but there were all kinds of media information constantly bombarded, and he could also talk about it vividly.

This conversation was in the middle of the night, and it wasn't until Xie Chunxi's personal maid Wan'er came to urge her a few times that the three of them went back to the room to rest.

"Miss, why don't you wash up and rest?"

Wan'er accompanied Xie Chunxi back to the boudoir, she went to fetch hot water for the young lady to wash, who knew that when she came back, she saw the young lady sitting by the window, looking at the bright moon in the sky with her cheeks up, and couldn't help but ask a little strangely.

Xie Chunxi didn't look back, still looking at the moon directly, and said in a clear voice: "Wan'er, Brother Liu said that there are thousands of countries outside of China, there are thousands of snow-capped mountains towering into the clouds and reaching out to touch the sky, there are beautiful beaches full of white sand and clear blue, and there are endless grasslands full of cattle and sheep and green grass. ”

Wan'er put the basin aside, walked to Xie Chunxi's side and chuckled: "My miss, you have been talking about Brother Liu Shi all the way, Brother Liu Shi is that, could it be that he has hooked his soul?" ”

"Dead girl, tell you to talk nonsense, see if I don't tear your mouth." Xie Chunxi's face was slightly red, and he turned around to come over to catch Wan'er, but Wan'er dodged away all of a sudden, and the two chased after each other in the boudoir with a smile.

Brother Liu is really good, eh? With such thoughts, Xie Chunxi fell into a dream with a smile on his face.

"Whew, good morning, Brother Wenle and Sister Xian. Hahaha, why don't you two look at the moon all night? ”

Liu Ximing got up early in the morning and came out to meet Xie Wenle's two brothers and sisters, and when he saw that both of them had a pair of panda eyes, he couldn't help laughing and teasing.

The two brothers and sisters shook their eyes with a resentful look, "It's not all because of you", Xie Wenle immediately shouted, but he didn't notice that Xie Chunxi's face was slightly red and he wanted to stop talking.

The three of them went to have breakfast with Xie's mother together, and several elders of the Xie family were a little surprised to see the three of them become so familiar all of a sudden, knowing that these two brothers and sisters were more outgoing, but they had never seen such a situation in the past.

But it's also a good thing to make friends, and besides, it's all a fight between children, and a few elders don't have much heart to care about this.

"What did you do when you came to the city yesterday?"

After eating, Xie Chengzhou asked Liu Ximing.

Liu Ximing hurriedly said that he wanted to inquire about the last reward, and the rest was okay, mainly because of the fulfillment of the promise of the prefect Zhang Licheng, Liu Ximing recruited so many people at once, if there was any leakage, he would be blind.

"Hahaha, don't be anxious, it's only been ten days, where can you come down so fast. However, this time there was a military disaster in the house, and Governor Zhang was also anxious to report his merits, but I was afraid that someone had already been sent to report to the political secretary and the governor's yamen, and I would send someone to inform you when there was news. As for the reward promised by Governor Zhang's own mansion, this will eventually fall to the county below, and you pushed the credit to the mansion when you rewarded the merit last time, but it made the county proud enough. ”

Liu Ximing smiled embarrassedly, he was a little inexperienced in the struggle last time, just thinking about provoking the battle in the prefecture and county, but he did Zeng Shuyao, so he had to buckle his head and said: "The little nephew also regrets it a little, but I don't know if it can be remedied." ”

Xie Chengzhou thought for a while and said: "That's it, you go with me to visit the magistrate, and I will prepare a generous gift for you, after all, he is the one who is leaving, and he must sell me a few thin noodles." ”

Liu Ximing was extremely moved, and hurriedly excused himself and said that he wanted to prepare a gift by himself, but Xie Chengzhou firmly refused. Liu Ximing knew that this was Xie Cheng's weekly report to return him to save Xie Chunxi, thinking that the two families had already formed a friendship anyway, and there would always be opportunities when they came and went in the future, so he didn't continue to refuse.

The visit to Zeng Shuyao went smoothly, I don't know if it was for Xie Chengzhou's face, or because he was moved by the gifts prepared by the Xie family, Zeng Shuyao didn't care about what Liu Ximing did last time, and greeted the scribe with an indifferent face to investigate, and sure enough, the prefect's yamen issued a document five days ago, because he didn't get his orders, and he threw it in the house and didn't deal with it.

Liu Ximing's heart was in a cold sweat, hastily, fortunately Lao Tzu has more eyes, otherwise he would not be killed by you, a corrupt official on a dog day.

After getting the county Chinese book, Liu Ximing realized that there were many affairs at home, and it was not good to stay in the city anymore, and after following Xie Chengzhou back to the mansion to bid farewell to the Xie family, he pulled Wei Jingguo and Zhang Jingliang to find the tooth shop in the city.

At present, the brick kiln at home is almost dug, and it is about to start burning bricks, and Liu Ximing is also planning to burn cement, just taking advantage of coming to Fucheng to prepare raw materials in advance.

There is more than one tooth shop in the city, Liu Ximing still remembers the last time the tooth man Wang Qi revealed the news to Zhang Yucheng's housekeeper Zhang Da, of course he will not look for him again this time, as for the future, hehe, the monk can't run the temple.

Busy for a long time, I finally found a few businesses selling coal and lime under the guidance of the tooth people, but fortunately, these two materials are not lacking in Baoning and Shunqing in northeast Sichuan, so the price is not expensive, the price of coal is worth one dollar and five cents of silver per 100 catties, and lime is cheaper, and it is worth one penny of silver per 100 catties. Liu Ximing ordered a few thousand catties each, and then made an appointment to increase the order later.
