Yuri was allowed by Xiao Xuanye to express his opinion, which is quite meaningful under this situation. So, under the complicated gaze of Du Duhu, Zhu Changzuo and others, and even in the envious and jealous gaze of a group of Rakshasas such as Bekotov, Yuri stabilized his mind and took a historic step.

"Lord Belle, the minions are not highly educated, so they don't dare to show off in front of Lord Du and Lord Zhu. But since you ask, the minion can only be ...... Knowing everything, saying everything. If you are offended, please feel free to correct it! ”

Yuri actually bowed in the direction of Du and Zhu, and this opening statement was also blameless, like a veteran who had been in the officialdom for many years, which shows that he has studied the Chinese and the rules of officialdom since his return. The so-called "stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person", even the generals who defected to the Qing Dynasty not long ago knew the etiquette so much, Du Duhu showed joy on his face and returned the courtesy. Zhu Changzuo couldn't erase his feelings, and raised his hand slightly as a return gift, although his face was still ugly.

"Yuri don't have any worries," Hongyi smiled and said with relief, "Didn't the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle say, 'No one can fully grasp the truth', and if you say it boldly, it won't be in the way if you are wrong!" ”

Yuri is accustomed to the master's vast supernatural powers, but Du Duhu and others don't know what the person named Aristotle said by Lu Dao Hongyi is a "sage".

"My Excellency," Hongyi had to give an explanation to Du and Zhu, "this man named Aristotle was a learned man in Taixi's early years, he was born two or three hundred years later than the Sage Confucius, but he was regarded as a sage by Westerners, just like our Confucius. ”

"Confucius in the West? Can this person be called that? Zhu Changzuo was still not convinced.

"Worthy or unworthy, that's all understanding. Master Zhu can have a different understanding. However, before conclusively, you should at least know the merits of this person before judging it, the so-called words have something! No matter how self-cultivated Hongyi was, he couldn't stand Zhu Changzuo's attitude, so he no longer called him a cousin, but addressed him as an "adult", which made the relationship between the two estranged all of a sudden.

"This ...... Yes, the adults reprimanded! Zhu Changzuo had to swallow this breath.

In fact, Hongyi still admires Zhu Changzuo's talent and temperament, and secretly feels that this person will do something in the future, but only because of his unruliness will he apply color a little. Seeing that he was soft. And he said kindly:

"Brother Yunmen doesn't know, this Aristotle is called 'a great philosopher, scholar and teacher' by Westerners, do you think there is something in common with our evaluation of Confucius?" Hongyi had to replace the three titles of "philosopher, scientist and educator" with words that are easy to understand today.

"I don't know much about him, too, but he said it. It is in the nature of all human beings to be curious. Reason and wisdom are important signs that distinguish man from all other animals. Brother Yunmen. Confucius also said that the so-called education has no class, this aspect. Are the two connected? ”

Hongyi deliberately threw out two of Aristotle's three famous assertions about the nature of man, deliberately ignoring the idea that "man is a political animal", because politics is too profound in China and can easily go too far. Sure enough, hearing this, Zhu Changzuo was really touched, and his eyes widened and said:

"Did this person really say that?"

Hongyi smiled but didn't answer, and angrily snorted at Yuri.

"Master Zhu, Aristotle did say it, and it became the basis of his whole set of learning." Yuri understood and nodded in support.

"Oh, in that savage land, in ancient times, there are such characters who can get the true inheritance of Sage Kong, it is indeed commendable!" Zhu Changzuo finally softened his attitude in the face of the facts.

"Okay, I'm out of the picture. Yuri, let's talk about it, let it go. Hongyi no longer cares about Zhu Changzuo.

"Huh! Lord Belle, you just spoke of Aristotle, which is indeed extraordinary, and the slave did not expect that you knew so much about the West. Yuri came up and expressed his admiration.

"Oh, it's all the work of Tang Lao Marfa." Don't be a demon, don't be a demon! I'm just a studious kid, and I happen to have one of the few "foreign professors" at the moment!

"I see, Master Tang is fortunate to be appreciated by you, Master, which is really a blessing for those of us who come from the West." Yuri could only choose to believe it, and continued:

"Master Tang is a highly talented man among the Westerners, and naturally the basis of all the learning in the West today is derived from Aristotle's time, as well as the ancient Greece of the earlier era before him."

Very well, the main topic has finally been introduced. Hongyi secretly rejoiced.

"About 2,000 years before God came to earth, the Greeks invaded the eastern Mediterranean of Ctesi and settled there. They continued to expand overseas, establishing many colonial city-states in both the East and the West, and also developing their own civilization, which became the open source of Western history, which lasted for about 650 years (800 BC – 146 BC). ”

Yuri opened the case, but unexpectedly met with Zhu Changzuo's "disdain":

"It's only been 650 years, and it's still 'long'?"

"Your Excellency is right. However, the longevity of a civilization does not depend on how long the rulers have been passed down from generation to generation, but whether the civilization has been passed on and whether culture and education have been continued. When the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, did China not exist? Could it be that the Chinese civilization was cut off? Yuri suddenly said the most feared key point of these Han people, so Zhu Changzuo was speechless for a while.

"Yuri, get to the point, don't talk about irrelevance." Hongyi hurriedly corrected the deviation - I don't dare to touch this matter rashly now, what kind of fun are you foreigners!

"Huh! After its demise, the heritage of ancient Greek civilization was destructively perpetuated by the ancient Romans, thus becoming the spiritual source of the entire Western civilization. There are geographical and human reasons why Greek civilization did not decline like its original masters, but survived. "Yuri is indeed shrewd, hurry back to the topic.

"Ancient Greece was located in the eastern Mediterranean, and there were no fertile river basins and open plains in Greece like China, where the land was divided into small pieces by mountains and rivers. However, the vast sea area gave the Greek ancestors a broad space for development, where the coast is tortuous, the green islands are connected, there are many harbors, the climate is mild and pleasant, and the marine resources are unique. Mountains and ravines, lack of arable land, and barren land limited food production, and the contradiction between man and land was prominent, forcing Greece to engage in overseas trade, overseas colonization, and people-to-people exchanges. The twisting coastline and numerous excellent harbors provide the conditions for these activities. The special climate allowed Greece to be rich in wine and olive oil, which provided commodities for overseas trade. It is precisely these reasons that contributed to the relaxed and free human environment, the idea of mutual benefit, and the tribal atmosphere of open exploration in ancient Greece. This is a geographical advantage. ”

Around ancient Greece, there were Egyptian religion, Persian philosophy, Phoenician writing, Babylonian astronomy and the art of the "barbarian people", and countless ancient civilizations and thousands of years of cultural achievements quickly spread to Greece through these roots, promoting the development of their own civilization. This is the time of day. ”

As a result, the ancient Greeks became interested in this world at an early age. The philosophers of that time engaged in a serious, critical inquiry into the nature of the world in which they lived—a search that continues from then to the present. ”

"They ask questions about its composition, its composition, and its operation; They question whether it is made up of one or more things; They probed its shape and location and guessed its origins; They seek to understand the process of change in which things arise and transform; They meditate on anomalous natural phenomena such as earthquakes, solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, etc., and seek universal explanations that apply not only to one specific earthquake or eclipse, but to all earthquakes or eclipses; They began to think carefully about the rules of inference and proof. ”

"In the eyes of these philosophers, the world is an orderly, predictable world in which things move according to their nature."

It was only at this time that Hongyi finally nodded frequently - finally said "point"!

Reading literature and reading history is only a long breath
