Chapter 81: Chinese New Year's Eve

Yuan Shixiao is a good master, Chen Jialuo put away his night clothes in the inn, and he was able to successfully pretend to be Chu Yuan tonight thanks to his master Yuan Shixiao, Tianchi Monster Yuan Shixiao is proficient in the martial arts of various sects, and his Dharma swordsmanship is learned from Yuan Shixiao, although it is slightly different from the authentic Shaolin disciples, but it is more than enough to fool the head of Zheng Wangfu; As for the boots, they were stolen from the mansion of a certain Ouchi guard under the guidance of Ming Rui.

"Hello Mr. Dai!" , Xinyan's official position and the matter of stirring up internal relations in the Manchu Qing Dynasty have been dealt with, Chen Jialuo became idle, and went to visit Dai Zhen early in the morning.

"Mr. Luo, please, the conic curve you talked about last time and below has been addicted to it in the next two days, and there are several questions that I can't figure out, if you don't come again, I'm going to look for you in the inn!" , Dai Zhen warmly welcomed Chen Jialuo into the house, and recently Chen Jialuo came to discuss math problems with him whenever he had time, and he had a lot of favorability.

"This is the arithmetic system founded by the great French sage Descartes a hundred years ago." , Descartes is known as the originator of modern science, and Dai Zhen is known as the pioneer of modern Chinese science, of course, Dai Zhen's achievements in science can not be compared with Descartes, but this is largely the reason for the different environments of the two, after a few days of contact Chen Jialuo found that Dai Zhen has a very keen insight in mathematics; Hey, it's too wasteful to let him go to the imperial examination, science is the path you should choose, Chen Jialuo continued to imperceptibly talk to him, "This Mr. Descartes once served as the prince of Sweden, another large country in Europe, and taught arithmetic to the king of Sweden. Chen Jialuo actually didn't remember what kind of knowledge Descartes taught to Queen Kerstyna of Sweden, but in order to fool Dai Zhen, he still said that it was arithmetic.

At this time, the supreme dream of the literati was to "give birth to the Taifu and die to Wenzheng", Chen Jialuo's words brought a great impact to Dai Zhen, "Oh? Can you be good at arithmetic and be a Taifu? ”

"Of course, the Europa people attach great importance to arithmetic, and they have left China far behind in arithmetic," at this time, Newton and Leibniz had been dead for many years, the calculus system had long been established, and many problems such as navigation, astronomy, and mine construction had been solved, that is, since this time, the scientific and technological level of China and Europe has gradually expanded; Of course, at this time, most people were still immersed in the dream of the Celestial Empire, and it was not until a hundred years later that they were awakened by the cannons of the British.

"It's a pity that arithmetic is not the right way after all!" , Dai Zhen's thinking can not be changed in a day or two, Chen Jialuo did not answer his words, and continued to discuss the problem of conic curves with him.

It wasn't until lunch time that the discussion between the two came to an end, Chen Jialuo and Dai Zhen came to the restaurant outside the passenger station, and after three rounds of drinking, Chen Jialuo asked tentatively, "I don't know what Brother Dongyuan plans to do after the New Year?" ”

"Thanks to Brother Luo's sponsorship, my "Pythagorean Circumcision" was able to be paid." , Dai Zhen thanked him, "As soon as this matter is over, I will have no worries in the capital, and when the book is printed, I will go back to the south to study behind closed doors to prepare for the scientific examination." ”

Test your paralysis! Chen Jialuo was furious when he heard this, and Qian Xuesen didn't do it, he had to be stupid to take the civil service exam, why can't you be a little promising? Suppressing the anger in his heart, Chen Jialuo smiled and suggested, "Please forgive the little brother for being presumptuous, does Brother Dongyuan have a place to stay in the south?" ”

"I had a bad relationship with the wealthy families in the township, but this family can't go back!" , Dai Zhen said that he offended the head snake and was arrested by the county order, "But I have met Lu Jianzeng, the envoy of the two Huai salt transports, and I plan to go to Yangzhou to join him." ”

"Yangzhou is a place where paper fans are drunk, and it is not conducive to reading!" , Yangzhou is a gathering place for salt merchants, if there is no one in the luxury world, there is no one like the right in the world, "in Hangzhou is also considered to be thin and has an industry, Brother Dongyuan might as well go to Hangzhou with me, Hangzhou is prosperous, Brother Dongyuan can learn from each other with many talents, but not better than in Yangzhou?" When you get to Hangzhou, you can't help it! If you know each other, it's okay to say, if you don't know each other, just wait for the lawsuit, I don't believe that there is no place for you to write so many books.

Dai Zhen touched his beard and thought for a moment, and finally shook his head, "Brother Luo has already spent a lot of money to help me publish a book, how can I trouble Brother Luo again!" ”

"Don't hide it from Brother Dongyuan, there are many children and nephews in the lower clan, and when Brother Luo arrives in Hangzhou, he can open a museum to teach apprentices, wouldn't it be beautiful to review his homework while teaching?" , I really want to ask you to teach, but I have the final say on what to teach.

"So let me think about it," Dai Zhen was finally moved; In the next few days, Chen Jialuo struck while the iron was hot, and finally persuaded Dai Zhen before Chinese New Year's Eve, and when the "Pythagorean Circumcision" was printed, he returned to Hangzhou with him.

"Come on, big nephew, this is your New Year's money, take it!" , Chen Jialuo handed a red envelope to Ming Rui, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, after receiving the innkeeper's congratulations, Chen Jialuo, Xin Yan, Shi Shuangying and Ming Rui set up a table in the hall, ready to celebrate the New Year.

Although they didn't understand why Chen Jialuo was called Mingrui's eldest nephew, Shi Shuangying and Xin Yan laughed at the same time when they saw his bitter face. "You can't reunite with your family for the New Year, it's really hard, come and have a drink!" , Chen Jialuo raised his glass.

While drinking, he talked about things, "Xinyan, your article is almost complete, and it shouldn't be a problem to talk to adults this time, you can visit the adults again in the next few days, and those who enter Beijing will also have more dealings, maybe when you can use it in the future." Brother Twelve, I'm going back to Hangzhou in a few days, I'll leave it to you here! The eldest nephew", until the sound of the watch, the end of the New Year, everyone was full of wine and food and went back to their rooms.

Chen Jialuo lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, Qianlong twenty-three years have passed, and now it is 1759 AD, the year George Washington was elected to the Virginia Congress; Halley's Comet's prophecy was confirmed, and the law of gravitation became true; the Russian-Austrian coalition and Prussia fought in Europe; Britain and France were in a mess in India; James Watt was busy in a small repair shop at the University of Glasgow and had not yet begun to work on the Newcomen steam engine.

This year, the Qing army should have won a big victory in the northwest, but because of Chen Jialuo's participation, this incident should not have happened; The February examination, the April palace examination, after the palace examination, Xin Yan will be awarded an official position, and after he takes office, the Red Flower Society will have a base of its own, where will the Red Flower Society build a hoe for the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
