Hongyi allowed the topic to expand on Yuri, involving Galileo and Pascal, two prodigies in the history of Western science, which can be regarded as worthy of Yuri's painstaking efforts. But that's not enough.

In later generations of China, if anything can achieve the "combination of Chinese and Western [1]", it will be a very high-end appearance. In fact, if we look at the origin of this word, which many people misinterpret as "the combination of East and West", we will find that until the late Qing Dynasty at the end of the 19th century, in the eyes of the Chinese people, Chinese things were still the best, and the West was at best a trick and a trick.

As for the China of the Shunzhi Dynasty, how could the prodigy of the barbarian land be regarded as a model on a par with the sages? Hongyi is hopeless about this. Unexpectedly, Du Duhu's remarks surprised Hongyi:

"Lord Youzongzheng, now above the court, it is true that the Manchus and Han are one, but the power of Westerners such as Tang Ruowang Tang and others should not be underestimated. In the humble opinion of the following officials, if the discussion of You Qixiao is included, once it is approved by Lord Tang, it may have miraculous results. After all, the emperor is the co-lord of today, and he must be the unseen monarch for thousands of years! Knowing the so-called prodigies of one or two Westerners is also what it should mean. ”

"Oh? So, Yuri's example can also be used? Although Hongyi was a little disdainful of calling Emperor Shunzhi the "co-lord of the world", he was very cold to Du Duhu, who had such a mind!

"Xia Guan thinks so! Cloud Gate, what do you think? Du Duhu said very surely, but he still had to ask Zhu Changzuo's opinion. After all, this article is a joint name.

"My lord, the official said bluntly. If you simply cite a few examples of Western prodigies. It doesn't hurt. However, if you want to take the set of Western barbarians as a classic, I am afraid that it is to abandon the original and the end. I have been in China for thousands of years, this style, arithmetic, astronomy and other knowledge, oh, also counting the geometry that the right Zongzheng said, isn't that already in the previous dynasties? With a lot of knowledge, it is naturally far better than the ability of Westerners! ”

Zhu Changzuo, who was named to solicit opinions, was very unconvinced, and was still full of heartfelt pride in the motherland.

When Hongyi heard this, he sighed helplessly in his heart - going around. I wanted to keep this sensitive topic out of touch at this moment. Or rather, it is not a topic of conversation. This is because this kind of mentality of "learning" as the Chinese people call "learning" has long been natural and cannot be challenged at all.

But it's not time for me. Everybody! Nowadays, the development of science in the West has entered the fast lane. And our advantage is about to come to naught in an instant! Open your eyes to the world. It's easy to say, people like Wei Yuan who know it are hard to find! Fortunately, Du Duhu at least did not resist his own efforts. So, you need to push a little harder! It's just that the timing of this exertion needs to be grasped well. Too late doesn't help, too early may result in stillbirth! Clearly, today is not the best time.

Thinking of this, Hongyi was just about to speak, but found that among the several Alba Niulu officers on the side, the person who belonged to him just bowed his head and said nothing, and only Yuri was there who wanted to speak and stopped, and he looked unwilling.

Hehe, this scholar-type talent seems to have a belly to say. Why not give him another chance and listen to his opinion? Hongyi pondered for a moment, and let the hall fall into silence for a while. And it was precisely this short silence that brought a lot of impact to people from both China and the West!

In Zhu Changzuo's heart, as soon as his few truth-like remarks came out, the master in the upper position would definitely happily agree, even if he protected his own Rakshasa descendants, it should be clear - China's knowledge is all-encompassing, and it is broad and profound. As for the superficial gains of the West, at best, it is just an axe for the class, and it is not worth mentioning. Therefore, it is okay to let this little Xiao riding school Yuri continue to do his learning, but he still has to concentrate on learning Chinese culture, and it is only right that he goes to the Tao as soon as possible!

But the master didn't speak, and it was clear that he didn't agree, at least he didn't fully agree with his unbreakable wise saying!

In Yuri's eyes, Zhu Changzuo's remarks are in the words of the Chinese, that is, Yelang is arrogant and sits in a well to watch the sky! But who doesn't think so in China right now? In the final analysis, he is just an outsider, a surrendered person, what duty and obligation does he have to correct this kind of thinking for this old empire? Besides, Europa is not in lockstep, and its motherland, Russia, to be honest, is like an outcast in Europe, and even half of China's advanced cannot catch up, so why should he teach Chinese officials a lesson? Unfortunately, pampered Chinese may soon pay the price for their one-sided arrogance......

However, the master was silent, instead of affirming Zhu Changzuo's words, does this mean that this little "saint" who seems to be "psychic" also has an objective judgment on the current scientific situation like himself?

In fact, Hongyi's hesitation has turned to thinking about whether to give Yuri a chance to be "earth-shattering" in his own eyes, or maybe in the eyes of others, it is a stupid act of "not self-sufficient". Because, he knew what Yuri would say once he spoke.

Yes, according to Hongyi's own understanding of science, Mr. Yuri, a high-achieving student who graduated from a regular college, already has a preliminary basic knowledge of "scientific thought", "scientific theory", or "science and technology" and many other aspects. Compared with the current Chinese people, his most valuable quality is that he has a certain "scientific awareness"! He must have known the excellence of Western science!

But once he is allowed to speak, he must discuss the many differences between Chinese and Western science, and it would be disrespectful to say these differences, regardless of which is better or worse, in front of the bureaucrats of the old empire. It is not easy to stumble into such a "" talent of Western science by mistake, and he must not let him destroy his future because of a small loss.

Thinking of this, Hongyi is really full of emotion.

As a liberal arts student, he had a soft spot for historical knowledge in his previous life, and was willing to read some historical materials from time to time, but after crossing over, he realized that in fact, the real history was not at all beyond the reach of reading thousands of books. Because real history is made up of countless details, and the history that becomes words is only an insignificant part of it.

Some people say that history books record major events, but what are major events? Are big things made up of many small things in series? In other words, when a writer of history writes, he will inevitably choose the material according to his own preferences, and the vast history is doomed to be extinguished.

Take these Rakshasa descendants as an example, the official history took place in the Kangxi period, and it is recorded in the historical materials that after they returned to the Qing Dynasty, except for joining the army as banner people, there was no other repetition, and soon they were part of the Qing Dynasty banner people - the Rakshasa team disappeared and looked for traces. It was not until the early years of the Republic of China and the beginning of New China that two more historical episodes of "recognizing ancestors and returning to their ancestors" and "returning to Russia from the north" were mentioned.

But in this period of history that Hongyi has personally experienced, it is only said that three hundred rakshasas descended people, which one is not a real person with some flesh? Combined with the background of Tsarist Russia's "invasion of the Far East" during the same period, each of them has a legend - either as prisoners of war, or Cossack cannon fodder, or frustrated Rus' minor nobles and commoners, who were helplessly sent here, participated in many battles, committed numerous crimes, and then were killed, surrendered, and then died of old age. However, they also have their own different knowledge and abilities, which may also affect history! And all this, along with many details of the real history is obscured.

Hongyi was lucky, he accidentally got the six leaders of the Rakshasa descendant in front of him - Bekotov and his "Five Tiger Generals", as well as the entire "Alba Niulu", and found that they were actually useful to him. But who can guarantee that in the real history, they never existed, and they never gave the Qing authorities the same opportunity as themselves?

Perhaps, history is so magical, opportunities can be given to you, whether you can grasp it or not, it is completely up to the parties. Moreover, no matter what initiative the parties choose, history will accept it and will give a different answer!

Or has there ever been a heretical child like me in history? It's a pity that the most disgraced person is ruined, and he doesn't even deserve to leave a single word of the official history? Ha Luha, it's amazing!

If that's the case, go with the flow, follow your heart, there are things that should happen, and you can't hide from them!

In fact, according to Hongyi's idea, his own systematic exposition on "science" should be reserved for the children of the "Firearms Research Institute", which will open soon. But now, Yuri's birth is already "ready to fly", whether he receives or sends, it's all up to him!

Hongyi, who made up his mind, after a moment of thought, had to make a decision. At this time, Zhu Changzuo at the bottom couldn't bear it anymore, and with his upright character, he should be the first to make trouble.

"A limerick poem. Hidden Head

Reading literature and reading history is only a long breath

I was saying that there was an opportunity back then

The layout is a long-cherished wish

It's hard to come and go

Get up and spend a hundred years

Point out the suffering and diseases of the world

The edge of the town was razed to the sea

Wen'an Wuding tears of joy

[1] The combination of East and West, some people mistakenly refer to it as "East and West", but in fact, the original meaning is very different. The term "Chinese and Western" shows that it is still dominated by China. The source of "Chinese and Western Combinations" is Li Baojia's "Officialdom Appearance" in the Qing Dynasty: "We are a combination of Chinese and Western today...... This side is the main seat; Mystesa sat on the right, and he came with Mr. Liu on the left. Li Baojia (1867~1906) is also known as Baokai, the word Boyuan, alias Nanting Pavilion Chief, pen name game master, Acura vulgar person, etc. Han nationality, a native of Changzhou, Jiangsu, and a novelist of the late Qing Dynasty. He was born in the sixth year of Tongzhi (1867) and died in the thirty-second year of Guangxu (1906) at the age of forty. Li Boyuan is a prolific writer, and his quick thinking and speed of writing are extremely rare. He has successively written more than 10 kinds of books, such as "Gengziguo Changing Words", "Officialdom Appearance", "A Little History of Civilization", "China Now", "Living Hell", "Haitian Hongxue Record", as well as "Li Lianying", "Dream of Prosperity on the Sea", "Nanting Notes", "Nanting Four Words", "Funny Words", "Wonderful Products in the Dust Sea", "Strange Books", "Awakening World Bullet Words" and other more than ten books. Among them, "The Appearance of Officialdom" is a representative work of the late Qing Dynasty's condemnation novels. (To be continued......)
