Bai Dong didn't win the butt of the horse, and the spanking always left a psychological shadow, so he chose a more civilized punishment method.

How Ying Si treated Aristotle, and now Bai Dong treats him.

There is enough drinking water every day, but the food is only the simplest bean cake and Persian black vegetables, and no matter how full, there will be a cup of goat's milk every day, but it is diluted with water, which can barely make people distinguish from water, don't think about the taste, there is a faint 'milky aroma'.

The recipe of the dignified prince of the Qin Kingdom is even worse than that of pigs, and pigs are still full.

In this way, Bai Dong was not ready to let this kid go, every day hungry to learn the history since the Xia Shang and read hundreds of articles is a must to do, including the arithmetic problems he personally gave, if it can't be completed, the food will be further reduced.

This kid was spoiled by Bu Rongyi, he has gained a lot of weight since he returned to Liyang, and his enthusiasm for learning is far less than when he was in Fengming Academy, how good is it to take this opportunity to lose weight and resume campus life for him? And it can also make Mr. Aristotle discouraged, which Bai Dong thinks is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

"Mr. Aristotle, knowledge is the wealth of mankind, and a scholar like you is the inheritance and creator of wealth, so a person like Sir deserves respect wherever he goes, this kid has offended Sir, and I am punishing him severely. You see, it's only been five days, he's already lost two laps, and he's now reciting the philosophical theory of 'metaphysics', which is considered to be a mistake to Mr., can Mr. forgive him? ”

Aristotle looked through the window lattice at the dish-faced Yingsi. sighed again and again: "Why did Bai Zi do this? If he is still a child, he will be punished for ten and a half months at most. Don't go on for a long time. ”

Bai Dong's face twitched. This guy is much more ruthless than himself?

"I have seen your 'Sixue', and you said that you should use dialectical methods to explore the mysteries of this world. This seems to be exactly the opposite of the metaphysics I advocate? Isn't it ridiculous that your students should come and read my teachings? ”

Aristotle snorted slightly, turned around and walked to the soft chair that Bai Dong had prepared for him, drinking some bitter oriental tea, while watching with great interest as Ying Si recited his doctrine in the room. He felt that these Orientals were so cunning, did he really think that by doing so, he would make himself open his mouth to forgive this crazy boy? Don't! In this case, he will extend the punishment for a while, at least let the white man in front of him understand. The wise men of Greece are not so easy to deceiver, and in the light of the glory of the goddess of wisdom, we are all better than monkeys.

However, the tea in the East is still very good, the entrance is slightly bitter, but the aftertaste is very sweet, drinking this tea to see the kid punished is a very happy thing. When he remembered his experience of confinement and starvation, Aristotle's heart was filled with demons from the underworld, and all the virtues of benevolence and generosity disappeared.

"It's not funny at all. Learning more about erroneous ideas reminds my students that truth is not easy to come by, and that the more decorated such erroneous views and doctrines are, the more wonderful they become. When my students have identified its fallacies, they will no longer be fooled by such errors. ”

"What did you say?"

Aristotle jumped up at once: "Your dialectic is nonsense." Emphasizing the relative and ignoring the absolute, according to you, there is no such thing as an absolute in this world? Everything is relative, it is not separate from each other, I want to ask you, how do you analyze specific things like this? Is there anything concrete? Such a view of yours will seriously hinder the development of natural science, and you are committing a crime! ”

"Natural science is a discipline that reduces complexity to simplicity, but philosophy is not. Metaphysics is the observation and study of the world in an isolated, static, one-sided way, either/or. But is the world really static? If we stand on the ground and see the sunrise and sunset, if you follow your point of view, we will think that the sun is moving and the earth is not moving, but I want to say that the earth we are on is actually also rotating, if the earth does not move, how much does the distant sun have to move to cause the sunrise and sunset? They're all moving! ”

"What are you kidding? The Earth where we live is the center of the universe! The sun, moon and stars are all moving around the earth, doesn't the dignified Qin Baizi even have this knowledge? ”

Aristotle looked up to the sky and laughed, he was the first to put forward the theory that the earth is round, which can be called the forerunner of this way, and after years of observation he laid the foundation of the 'geocentric theory', which is already a very mature theory in the West, Bai Dong refutes his metaphysical theory, he has seen the study of thought, and thinks that dialectics is not for nothing, but he can criticize his 'geocentric theory', which is a bit unheavenly.

Greece is the place where all scientific theories are highly developed, and when will it be the turn of backward Eastern scholars to oppose him?

"Is that really the case?"

Bai Dong did not disagree, and ordered someone to bring a clay pot, fill it with water, and bring a thin wooden stick with two sharp ends, carve a mark on one of the ends and lay it flat on the water, and then sat down beside Aristotle, drinking tea and smiling and observing this wooden stick.

After waiting for more than an hour, Aristotle couldn't help but walk to the basin and observe it carefully for a while, frowning and saying, "What are you doing?" "The edge of the clay pot has carved several grids at intervals, and there are also marks on the tips of the wooden strips, so at a glance you know that Bai Dong is going to do a natural experiment, but it has not changed for so long, which makes Aristotle a little baffled.

Argument is argument, after all, he is a scholar who is eager to learn, and at this moment, curiosity has long overridden the debate itself, and he wants to know what the hell Bai Dong is doing.

"Wait, this experiment requires patience, and it will be almost over after we have lunch."

Seeing that it was almost noon, there was a table of wine and rice brought by the firehead army, among which there were also lamb meat, jam cakes and thick mushroom soup that the Greeks loved to eat, and Aristotle was not polite, and sat down to eat it. He has always been the most patient in the face of science.

When he touched Shen, Bai Dong got up with a smile and walked to the basin: "Mr. Aristotle, see if there are any changes in this basin?" ”

"What can change? What's wrong with this stick! ”

Aristotle's eyes widened, the marked end of the wooden stick was no longer in its original position, and it could be clearly seen from the number of grids corresponding to the clay pot that the wooden stick had turned slightly from north to south for more than half a few squares

"Mr. Aristotle, a wise man of Greece, should have known that the sticks of wood would not move without the force of the force, and that there was no wind here, so why would the sticks move?"

Bai Dong said with a smile: "The answer is that the wooden strip is not moving at all, but the earth where we are located is moving!" ”

"The Earth is moving?"

Aristotle's face changed, but this time he did not rush to refute Bai Dong, but squatted in front of the basin and studied it carefully. (To be continued.) )
