"Demons?" Jiang Jian had never heard anyone use this word to describe a learned person

However, in the days that followed, when he actually met those people and had a brief exchange with them, he finally agreed with the system. These guys are indeed the existence of a group of wise and close demons.

Due to Suning's large-scale summoning plan formulated earlier, those useful and useless talents were summoned in the order on the list.

At the top of that alphabetical list is Abbe, a German physicist who has already been summoned. He was followed by the Norwegian mathematician Abel and the French theologian Abelard.

There are a large number of various talents behind him, and none of them have escaped Suning's clutches. Speaking of changes during this period, we still have to start with the days when Suning triumphed.

After a few days of hard work overnight, this guy's sleeping cells have finally launched a crazy revenge. He was sleeping on the day Jiang Jian came, and Guan Yu came to him for a drink that night, but he still didn't get up. Early the next morning, Cao Cao came to visit, but he was still blocked by him.

After sleeping like this for two days and two nights, Suning finally woke up, and began his crazy call, after all, the scope of the exam and the key knowledge of each subject involved too much content, obviously not something he could easily handle alone, he had to find enough helpers in a short time to solve these problems. The summon system is naturally the best option.

Appian is the fourth-highest talent on the list. As an important historian of the Roman Empire, he had just passed away 15 years (some say 10 years), and he had first-hand information about the first power of the European continent. Although he mainly studied Greek history, he also wrote a History of Rome. These materials are of vital significance for Suning to open up the Silk Road trade in the future.

Jiang Jian learned a lot from him, it turned out that in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the Central Plains academic hundred schools of thought contended, in that place called Greece, there was also a brilliant culture that was not inferior to the Central Plains, and even the two sides had a lot in common. For example, the Pythagorean theorem invented by the Greeks is known as the Pythagorean theorem in China.

They have made comparable progress in their understanding of the world, but they seem to be on different paths in their understanding of civilization.

Jiang Jian already had a vague feeling of comparison, but he couldn't accurately describe the difference, and it wasn't until he heard about the difference between the Great River Civilization and the Ocean Civilization from Suning later, and he slowly understood the weirdness he felt today.

However, his achievements today are much more than that. Soon after, from Suning's room, a few more people walked out.

One of the people at the forefront is called Appiah, a Swiss stage artist who was mainly active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He and his like-minded people will be an important layout of Suning's future cultural publicity.

Of course, Jiang Jian would not realize this. He didn't know what kind of power those poets, writers, families, and playwrights could exert in the hands of this benevolent brother. So when he met Apollinaire, Aberde, Aber, Abrao, and others, he was only surprised that their names were so strange.

In fact, Appian's feelings were not much better than him, and although they were both summoners, this benevolent brother lived around the second century A.D. after all. Of course, there is not enough understanding of these writers who were active in the nineties and even the twentieth century.

You're both sitting down and having a conversation. When I heard that the great god in front of me was the famous historian Appian of the Roman Empire. All the summoners, including Apollinaire and the others, stood up respectfully.

Appiah, who was closest to him, even stretched out his right hand, ready to shake hands with him.

However, this historical madman from the Roman Empire apparently did not know that the handshake ceremony only emerged in England in the Middle Ages. So he just glanced down at the other hand, and then he didn't know what to do.

Unexpectedly, the young man in the late Eastern Han Dynasty standing beside him actually understood the mystery of this etiquette without a teacher. He followed the other party's example, stretched out his right hand, and held it tightly with the other party, avoiding this little embarrassment.

How did Jiang Jian know about the handshake ceremony?

In fact, he didn't know it at all, but in ancient China, holding the hand of the son was an act of intimacy. This is not only a patent for men and women to look at each other with tears, 100 years ago, Ma Yuan, who was famous in Liangzhou, used to shake hands with his friend Gongsun Shu often, and often slept together.

So much so that during the Republic of China, when the handshake was introduced to China on a large scale, some people thought that it was a revival of ancient etiquette. Of course, that is nothing more than the voice of narcissists spawned by nationalist sentiment and some sloppy scholars who do not read history well. They had just started shouting, and they were violently counterattacked by Liang Shiqiu, Lin Yutang and others. Not only do they dissect the modern handshake ceremony, but it is not the same as the ancient handshake. He also simply stated that he was disgusted and opposed to the promotion of handshake gifts.

However, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, no one objected to the handshake, so Jiang Jian successfully established the initial friendship with the other party.

Appian then painted the scoop according to the gourd and shook hands with the other party.

It's hard to believe in the communication between Westerners, but it takes an Eastern boy to build a bridge in it. But the fact is that the diaphragm on the tip of the tongue is sometimes far more profound than the geographical limitations.

After all these twists and turns, both sides have a minimum tacit understanding on the issue of etiquette. So, when the ancient Greek mathematician Apollonius appeared behind them, a similar embarrassment did not arise again. While stretching out his right hand, Appia wisely explained: "We express friendship in this way. ”

This master of conic curve research, learning from the other party's example, also tentatively stretched out his right hand. Instead of holding the other, he looked up at Appiah. There was some doubt in his eyes.

Jiang Jian made the god understand that kind of doubt. He was asking, and just doing so far didn't seem to be able to express friendliness.

Appiah, of course, knew what to do next. He held his hand forward and held it tightly. At this moment, a warm current passed through the hands of the Swiss stage artist, penetrating the time barrier of more than 2,100 years, and rushing into the old blood of the ancient Greek mathematician.

Apollonius' eyes widened. He had to sigh that human beings are really amazing creatures, and just contact with each other can bring about such strange emotional changes. What he didn't know. Scholars in the 21st century have carried out a lot of research on this phenomenon, among which a representative example is Florin Dolkos, a researcher at the Beckman Institute in the United States, and Sanda Dolkos, a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Psychology, wrote in their papers: "The handshake before social activities reinforces the positive effects of proximity behavior and reduces the negative effects of avoidance behavior." ”

This conclusion also confirms the old proverb that strangers do have a better impression of the person who extends their hand to greet them.

So, Apollonius finally proposed that this handshake ceremony be promoted in Liangzhou.

The vast majority of people present expressed their support, and only Jiang Gongzi, who had performed well just now, frowned. China has always regarded itself as a country of etiquette, and there is a complete set of rules when it comes to interpersonal communication. For foreign etiquette, I am afraid it is difficult to accept. Therefore, if you really want to promote it, I am afraid it will be very difficult, and there may be unexpected obstructors.

In fact, when Oriental people first came into contact with the handshake, they did show a lot of discomfort. Regardless of the aforementioned Liang Shiqiu and Lin Yutang, even the first country in Asia to open its doors to welcome Western culture, when the emperor shook hands with the American envoys, an American reporter present keenly observed his unnaturalness.

At that time, the Japanese were still in the era of being forced to open their borders, and they still had to bow down and be small in front of the Western powers. Even so, their emperor showed a clear discomfort with the handshake. In the second century AD, although the Han Dynasty was chaotic in internal affairs and the dynasty was sluggish, his strength was still not something that others could covet. How would such a dynasty behave in the face of Western etiquette? The answer to this question may not be agreeable, but one thing is certain, that is, it will never be as low as the Wa Kingdom.

What is the clear offense of my strong man, although he is far away, he will be punished, and what is the sun and the moon are all Han land. The big man is not only tough in his mouth, but also really capable of fighting. Thinking that he went to the pox family back then, he just wanted to stabilize his position in the imperial court with the help of military merits, so he dared to send troops to attack the Northern Xiongnu, and successfully expelled them, and indirectly caused the fall of the Western Roman Empire.

Such an empire has its own pride, its own stubbornness, and its own cultural exclusivity.

Although Jiang Yin didn't understand this, his feelings just confirmed the later development of things. Suning halted the promotion shortly thereafter, acquiescing only to the use of the ritual by defaulting to summoners from the West. As for whether others are willing to follow suit, that is the freedom of others. No one is allowed to induce, coax or even force others to accept these Western etiquette in the name of advanced culture in any way or under any pretext, especially in the name of advanced culture.

Apollonius, who made this suggestion, was also called by Suning to talk, and I heard that the conversation lasted a full five hours, and by the time everyone saw Apollonios again, the guy had almost collapsed.

It was also from this incident that the principal's conversation became the most feared thing by everyone.

Later, Apollonius was also sent to edit textbooks. His research on conic curves is quite accomplished, so much so that many later scholars ridiculed that his research encompassed almost all the properties of conic curves, leaving later generations with little place in this field.

Jiang Jian didn't know at this time that in the upcoming exam, the conic curve would become an important part. His main interest was also in the people who kept coming out of Suning's room.

That day, Jiang Jian also met many people. There was a guy named Abbott who made a very deep impression on him. This is mainly due to the person's occupation. Photographers, for people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, are indeed an unheard of profession.

In addition, there are several generations of heroes on the grassland, which impressed him deeply. For example, Abdullah Khan II from the Bukhara Khanate, Abulkhaz Bahadur Khan from the Khiva Khanate.

Before the two men could speak a few words with him, they saw Attila rush over and carried the two of them away without saying a word.

After that, more than 20 people came in a row, looking at their dress, conversation, and language, it was even more varied. Jiang Jian didn't have time to remember each of them, but there were still a few that were more impressive. For example, the physicist named Abrikosov.

Jiang Jian was impressed by him, not because of his interest in physics, but in fact, the talent for biology and geography that he showed in the years that followed was simply astonishing. The reason why he could remember this person was simply because his generic name was too long. And it's just the right length, so that it's not like Abulkhaz Bahadur, who is almost too long to remember.

The last few are the people who have the greatest impact on the rest of Jiang Yin's life. They are American plant physiologists and biochemists, Arnon, who discovered the synthesis of ATP by chloroplasts under light conditions in 1954, American biochemists, Agre, who won the Nobel Prize for discovering the water channels of cell membranes, and Agassi, an American marine zoologist.

Although Jiang Jian didn't know anything about their hometown of the United States, he was quite yearning for what they said. I can't imagine that those green flowers and plants can produce gas that can maintain people's normal breathing. I can't imagine that there are so many strange creatures in the world. This is especially true for sunfish that can produce 30,000 eggs at a time. I wonder what a spectacular scene he spawns in.

In other words, if someone can give birth to 30,000 children at a time like a sunfish, wouldn't the Han Dynasty become rich in an instant?

In this era, the measure of whether a place is rich or not is still the number of people. Jiang Jian naturally would not have thought that if there were suddenly 300 million more people in the land of China, I am afraid that he would take the lead in poverty and war before becoming rich. A catastrophe like starvation alone would be enough to wipe out the vast majority of them. In the end, it will really be like a sunfish, 300 million fish eggs can only survive 30 small fish.
