Chapter 175: Xu Guangqi (Medium)
Xu Guangqi smiled, "Fortunately, with the help of a few of you, my ideals can be passed on, even under Jiuquan, I can be blind!" Xu Guangqi said as he looked at Liu Fan with complicated eyes and said, "Jimin! Although I took you as an apprentice, this teacher has never taught you anything, and now my body is no longer good, even if I want to teach, I am powerless! ”
Liu Fan hurriedly said: "This is not to blame the teacher!" This is Liu Fan's fault! It was I who didn't stay with the teacher and listen to your teachings! I beg your pardon! Liu Fan said and bowed deeply to Xu Guangqi. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Liu Fan was apprenticed at the beginning with the intention of borrowing Xu Guangqi's reputation to make up for his shortcomings, but Xu Guangqi never blamed Liu Fan, but cared about him everywhere, not only asked Sun Yuanhua to fully assist Liu Fan, but also helped Liu Fan introduce and introduce some missionaries. Xu Guangqi helped Liu Fan a lot, but Liu Fan never gave back to his nominal teacher at all, and Liu Fan's heart was full of apologies.
Xu Guangqisheng accepted Liu Fan's salute, looked directly at Liu Fan for a while, and said to Xu Ji beside him, "Ji'er, bring my Nanmu box in the study!" ”
Xu Ji was surprised: "Father!?" ”
Xu Guangqi said in a resolute tone: "Go quickly!" The Father has decided! ”
Seeing his father's firm face, Xu Ji had no choice but to nod, glanced at Liu Fan with a complicated look, and turned to leave. Liu Fan's heart was furious when Xu Ji looked at him, and he couldn't figure out what the father and son were selling! thought that it might be other people's housework, so he didn't delve into it, but chatted with Xu Guangqi about family life!
Liu Fan told Xu Guangqi in detail about some of the things that Xu Guangqi was interested in, such as building a school to cultivate talents, introducing advanced Western cannon casting technology to equip the army, purchasing fleets, establishing shipyards, and promoting high-yield crops. and briefly explained to Xu Guangqi his core idea of "razing against razing". Xu Guangqi greatly appreciated what Liu Fan did and thought, and told Liu Fan, "Helping the people! You're right. Although I am a Catholic, I don't agree with some things in the West, what I appreciate is their spirit of struggle and exploration of the unknown, not their greed and cruelty, I am very happy that you can distinguish the pros and cons. I hope you can keep this calm attitude all the time! ”
Liu Fan was a little disappreciative in his heart, although greed is the original sin, but it is also the driving force of human progress, if Westerners were not poor to death, they would not be so keen on the Great Voyage, and now they will not colonize the world. But Xu Guangqi is Liu Fan's "teacher" after all, and Liu Fan is not easy to refute, so he has to say: "The teacher's teachings, Liu Fan will always keep in mind!" ”
Xu Guangqi is such a character, he has been in the sea for so many years, and he can see at a glance that Liu Fan's words are insincere, but the relationship between him and Liu Fan is not so deep, he can only persuade but cannot be reprimanded like Sun Yuanhua and Xu Ji, and sighed helplessly, "Jimin's own affairs can be done by yourself!" The old man can't help you much anymore! I just hope you don't forget your original intention and do more for me! ”
At this moment, Xu Ji pushed the door in with a big box and said to Xu Guangqi, "Father! I've got everything you wanted! ”
Xu Guangqi nodded and said, "Give the things to Jimin!" Liu Fan didn't know why, but he was still obedient to the result box, and just wanted to open it, he heard Xu Guangqi say, "Jimin!" The old man knows that he has no time, I'm afraid he can't teach you! But you are a closed disciple of the old man, and the old man can't teach you nothing! In this box is the old man's life's work, all the works of the old man's life are in it, and now the old man will hand him over to you! Hope this stuff will help you! ”
Liu Fan looked at the box in his hand in surprise, and then looked at Xu Guangqi, who had a serious face, and couldn't help but say, "Teacher! This one is too precious! I can't ask for it! "Liu Fan has been in the Ming Dynasty for more than two years, and he knows a little about the preciousness of these books. Ancient writings, especially those written by people like Xu Guangqi, are extremely precious, and even related to the honor of the rise and fall of a family. Even if Liu Fan was a student of Xu Guangqi, he never thought that he could get Xu Guangqi's life's work. Now the surprise in his heart when he heard that Xu Guangqi was going to hand over these things to him can be imagined, so he quickly refused.
Seeing Liu Fan's surprised look, Xu Guangqi smiled and said, "Jimin, don't shirk!" This is a matter of great thought and I decided! Among my disciples, count you as the most talented and have the greatest position. Now that you've done what the old man wanted to do but didn't, handing over these books to you is a good use! And you have a school now, so that more people can know and learn about it, rather than keeping it for the old man to rot, it is better to leave it to you! You can make it spread more widely and be learned and used by more people! This is also the old man's wish all along, so don't shirk it! ”
Hearing Xu Guangqi's words, Liu Fan couldn't help but be moved, Xu Guangqi can be said to be a real master of Western studies in the Ming Dynasty, he not only has a deep study of the West, but also translated a lot of Western works with many missionaries, these things can be used as teaching materials for the school, so that Liu Fan can save a lot of time and energy, so far it is difficult for Liu Fan to refuse, not to mention that there is also Xu Guangqi's academic thoughts, which is what Liu Fan values the most, Liu Fan's biggest concern is that the students in the school accept Western knowledge and are easily infected and misled by Western ideas, which can be largely avoided with Xu Guangqi's writings. After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Fan finally couldn't resist this temptation, and bowed deeply to Xu Guangqi, "Disciple Liu Fan, thank you for the teacher's gift!" Rest assured, the disciple swears that you will let your thoughts, your writings spread throughout the Ming Dynasty! ”
Xu Guangqi was also very happy, and said happily: "With the promise of Jimin, the old man has no regrets!" Jimin, these **** go back and take a look at them, if you don't understand anything, you can come and ask me at any time! ”
Liu Fan nodded and said, "Teacher, don't worry!" When the disciples go back, they will study! ”
Under the great joy and sorrow, Xu Guangqi was already a little tired, and Liu Fan couldn't continue to stay when he saw this, so he offered to leave! Xu Guangqi also knew his situation, so he did not continue to stay. just told Liu Fan that he would come often these days, he wanted to take advantage of the time to teach Liu Fan more, hoping that Liu Fa could understand these works as soon as possible!
Liu Fan was even more moved, and left the Xu Mansion with excitement. (To be continued.) )
