Wan Shihua is famous, and he has made many friends in the Fu Society, and now there are many people living in Nanjing, so it is not surprising that there are guests who visit.

But there is only one person who can make Fang Yizhi say it so loudly.

Wuwei Young Tiger, Yu Guozhen, the word Jimin is also.

Wan Shihua and Song Yingxing glanced at each other, and they both smiled dumbly. They are nearly half a hundred years old, and they have already passed the age of passionate blood, but when they think that Yu Guozhen is about to appear in front of them, they still can't help but feel a little nervous.

Not for anything else, just for the countless feats he has made since he became famous, just because more than ten days ago, he was still fighting bloodily in the area of Nanzhili, just for him to capture the thief Gao Yingxiang, who was in trouble with the henchmen of the Ming Dynasty!

A young hero who is less than twenty years old was originally a character only in the legendary book, or a child of Shixun with a deep background like Huo Quzhi, but Yu Guozhen, with a strong body, has done what countless characters have not done.

Wan Shihua was quite conceited at the beginning, but when Yu Guozhen was about to appear in front of him, he threw his conceit into the clouds.

Song Yingxing also wanted to know what kind of person Yu Jimin, who could have such achievements in practical learning, what kind of person was the surname.

It is rumored that he is a figure like Changshan Zhao Zilong, but that is just a rumor.

While the two hesitated, they heard the sound of a knock on the door, and Song Yingxing took two steps forward and opened the door.

Fang Yizhi immediately squeezed in, Song Yingxing had been dealing with him these days, and he was also familiar with his temper, so he didn't care, and his eyes immediately turned to his back.

I saw a young man, slender and athletic, standing in front of the door.

The boy wore a cotton jacket, and although the cotton cloth was only plain indigo, the workmanship was quite delicate, and the tailor cut it very decently. He wears a square scarf on his head, but he does not have a [***] uniform hat (that is, a melon skin hat with brimmed beans in later generations) that the people like to wear in Jiangnan in winter nowadays, and the hair exposed on his temples is jet black.

If you just talk about the facial features, the young man still looks very thoughtful, with a slight baby face, and he has not yet left a beard, but there is a faint layer of hair on his lips. Long eyebrows into the sideburns, eyes are attentive, the bridge of the nose is straight, the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned, with a touch of joy.

The most noticeable thing is his eyes, as soon as Song Yingxing met his gaze, he felt that this gaze was very special, as if he could see through people's hearts and see through the falsehood.

This is Yu Guozhen Yu Jimin?

Song Yingxing remembered these again, and when he was entertaining in Jinling, he heard Yu Guozhen's other nickname: the first merry man on the Qinhuai River. If he didn't know his identity, if it weren't for those eyes, Song Yingxing would really think that he was a beautiful son, and he would be happy.

"In Xia Yu Guozhen, which one is Song Gong?"

Yu Guozhen clenched his fists and arched his hands, and asked a little impatiently without waiting for Fang Yizhi to introduce him.

"Old decay is Song Yingxing......"

Song Yingxing is a little strange, it stands to reason that Wan Shihua's reputation is far greater than his, Yu Guozhen should ask Wan Shihua first, but he shouldn't ask his name.

But judging from Yu Guozhen's tone, he seems to attach far more importance to himself than Wan Shihua.

Yu Guozhen heard that he was Song Yingxing, and immediately bowed: "The younger generation is polite." ”

This is a big gift, and as Yu Guozhen, there is no need to do it at all. Song Yingxing was a little dizzy, and then without waiting for him to return the salute, Yu Guozhen got up again and asked urgently: "Song Gong's masterpiece "Heavenly Creation", I don't know if I brought it, the younger generation learned from a friend that this article is only scaly and clawed, and I have long been itching, and I can't wait to see it!" ”

His attitude made Song Yingxing very happy!

In his early years, Song Yingxing aspired to a career in the imperial examination, but after repeated failures, he lost confidence in the imperial examination, and even further doubted whether the imperial examination could select real talents for governing the country (it can be seen that his Chongzhen nine-year book "Ye Yi"). He then turned his attention away from the poor Shouhao Sutra and turned to the practical science that could really solve practical problems, and did a lot of thinking and research in a targeted manner.

But this view is not popular today. Nowadays, the following people are the most still talking about reason, the so-called "nothing to do and talk about the surname", such a cultivated character, who can "repay the king when he dies", is already a top grade, and the vast majority of them are brazen and change, holding the thigh of the conqueror and calling the master.

Song Yingxing thought that all the wealth in the world came from doing practical things, and he was extremely compatible with Yu Guozhen.

Seeing that Yu Guozhen only cared about Song Yingxing, Wan Shihua couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, he was extremely conceited, and felt that his articles and knowledge were better than Song Yingxing, but he was so snubbed by Yu Guozhen, and he was extremely unhappy in his heart.

Originally, he decided to go with Yu Guozhen to Qin'zhou and Hoi An, but he faded.

Fang Yizhi next to him also noticed his embarrassment, and hurriedly said to Yu Guozhen: "Jimin, and this Mr. Maosheng." ”

Yu Guozhen said "ah", patted his head, and then gave Wan Shihua a deep blow. Although I don't know what kind of character this Wan Maosheng is, if he can bring Song Yingxing, then it is Yu Guozhen's lucky star.

Now in Qinzhou, although Wang Chuanlu is obsessed with some of Yu Guozhen's experiments, he focuses more on academics than practicality. Especially in improving the practicality of production tools, Song Yingxing is the first master of this era, even the deceased Xu Guangqi has to let him go.

"It's rude, don't blame Mr. Maosheng, the younger generation has heard Song Gong's "Heavenly Creation" for a long time, and now that he can see him, he can't help but lose his temper, Mr. Maosheng is a famous man in the sea, and he will not be like the younger generation, a later child."

His attitude was very humble, and his tone was gentle, but no one despised him because of this, everyone knew that he was a young hero who commanded more than a thousand people to defeat hundreds of thousands of rogues. The unhappiness in Wan Shihua's heart was also swept away with Yu Guozhen's move.

He and Song Yingxing have some sympathy, in his opinion, Song Yingxing's talent is not as good as his own, just because of a "Heavenly Creation", he can get Yu Guozhen's attention, so as long as he shows his talent and learns a little, his status in front of Yu Guozhen will never be under Song Yingxing.

"How can an old and decrepit person deserve such a gift from Young Master Yu?" He made a half-bow and returned the favor.

"Jimin just came to me, and when he heard the news of the two of them, he immediately forced me to come and pay a visit." Fang Yizhi said with a smile: "The heart of boxing and loving talents, don't misunderstand." ”

"I came in a hurry, and the gifts were not prepared, so please forgive me." Yu Guozhen also said.

"Speaking of gifts, the old man has something to ask for...... Wan Shihua's eyes suddenly flashed brightly when he heard this: "The old man is very poor, but he likes to read, can Yu Gongzi give a set of "Storm Collection" to the old man?" ”

When he said this, he was slightly embarrassed, but his gaze was unwavering.

When Yu Guozhen first saw him, he saw that his Confucian clothes were patched, described as withered, and looked like he had been severely malnourished for a long time. Originally, I wanted to give some silver taels in the name of gifting, but when I heard him speak, what he wanted was "Storm Collection", and his heart moved and he was in awe.

Whenever you like books, you deserve respect.

"The collection compiled by the younger generation, it is the honor of the younger generation to be loved by the younger generation, please rest assured that the younger generation still has a full set of "Storm Collection" since the inception of the issue, and I will send it to the gentleman later."

Song Yingxing next to him shook his head with a smile, he also liked it, but his brother is now out of office, and there is a complete set of "Storm Collection" there, so it is not easy to open his mouth to Yu Guozhen.

Seeing that Song Yingxing had already taken out a thick stack of manuscripts from a wooden box, Yu Guozhen hurriedly took it, he opened it and looked at a page, his expression became extremely focused. Song Yingxing and Wan Shihua are paying attention to his expression, looking at his appearance, they know that he is really watching, and he is very devoted, if it is not for his true joy and love, it will never be like this.

This look is half an hour, and the manuscript has been turned nearly a third, and Yu Guozhen sighed and put it down.

His sigh made Song Yingxing's heart hang.

"But Jimin thinks there is something wrong with this manuscript?"

"No, it's very proper, it's very proper......" Yu Guozhen sighed, where is it for this, he is for the fate of this book!

This work, which could have become a foundational work in the history of Chinese science and technology, was born at an inopportune time!

If it is a hundred years earlier, or even five hundred years earlier, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty and the middle of the Song Dynasty, this book can appear and be widely circulated, then it will inevitably set off a wave of production technology innovation, and this wave is likely to promote the Chinese-style industrial revolution!

But unfortunately, this book appears in the last days, followed by troubled times, and then there are 260 years of 160 years similar to the European Middle Ages. This book, which could have shone brightly and even brought new blood to the ancient civilization of China, was buried like this.

By the time it is discovered, it will be too late.

Some people think that only in the West did there be an industrial revolution, and modern science would have appeared. But they never thought that if it was Britain and not the Ming Dynasty that were invaded by barbarians in the seventeenth and forties, would the industrial revolution in Europe be so smooth?

Of course, Yu Guozhen cannot deny that the Ming scholars of this era, or those who have mastered knowledge, may not be interested in Song Yingxing's "Heavenly Creations". It is really difficult for those who are obsessed with the dream of being promoted to become rich to get them to do practical things.

All he has to do is change that.

"Mr. Chang Gung, in my opinion, this "Heavenly Creation", if the county order of the national dynasty is familiar with a book, then Liukou and Dongyu can raise their hands. If a scholar devotes one-tenth of his energy to studying the eight stocks, then the country will be strong and the people will be rich! Yu Guozhen has always been unstinting in praising this kind of book.

Song Yingxing smiled bitterly: "It's false, I just want one out of thousands of people in the world to read this book, and the rest of the wishes are enough." ”

Wan Shihua was slightly unconvinced: "Yu Gongzi's reputation, the old man also thought it was too much." ”

"Never, though. The one who said it in the evening is not this book, but the trend brought by this book. Yu Guozhen's spirit perked up: "What Mr. Chang Gung said in this book is the foundation of wealth creation in the world. The reason why the country is said to be poor today is that all the smart people in the world use their spirit to specialize in the way of the eight stocks, and the officials use it to ponder the intention to promote officials and make a fortune, and no one does practical things! ”

Wan Shihua is also in great spirits, he is an important member of the Restoration Society, and he is a branch of Donglin, and what is Donglin's best at, isn't it Yu Guozhen's mouth cannon?
