There is an ancient saying in China, called: If you come, you will be safe.

There is also a saying in later generations: All who have come have come......

That's right, it's all here, even the caravan and most of the family business have been brought over, can you still leave Master Zhou a chance to regret it?

Get on the thief ship!

Master Zhou collapsed weakly on the Taishi chair, his old face wrinkled.

Meng Ke sat on the other side of the desk, and there was a copy of "****XY" on the table.

"Uncle Zhou, this book will be the core guiding ideology of our altar in the future, please leave it to you to find Mr. Translator!"

"Didn't your White Lotus Sect have long been in its own right, with a complete scripture and meaning? Why did you come up with a foreign book again? ”

Master Zhou glanced at the spread page, and the expression on his face was very exciting.

Isn't it?

There are long hairs in the front and white lotus in the back.

Even the rebels kept up with the fashion trend and learned the 'combination of Chinese and Western', so the imperial court must not step up reform?

Meng Ke couldn't help but snicker when he saw Master Zhou's distorted face.

Seeing that the other party's eyes glanced at him like a knife, he immediately explained seriously:

This is a progressive book that the little nephew felt that the scriptures and teachings in the past dynasties were too backward and rotten, and he was ignorant, and specially ordered people to buy them. In order to correct the old concepts of the believers under the rudder of Zhili, the backbone of the rudder in the future must truly agree with the concept of this book and integrate it, so that it is the right way. ”

But no matter how nice Meng Ke said, it was useless.

Confucianism actually acquiesced in the emperor's way of fooling the people.

Under the influence of Confucianism, Master Zhou actually did not want to open up the people's wisdom, and he did not approve of the baptism of advanced ideas.

Just a few words can see the ambition of the leap earth, this is definitely not a traditional cult can have, maybe it is the next long hair, if he does not agree with this concept, he will definitely not be able to gain a foothold in Meng Ke, so he has been hesitant.

"Ahem......"

Although he didn't know what Master Zhou was struggling with, Meng Ke knew that it was time to make a killer move: "Zhangshou is very talented, and it would be a pity to only learn Confucianism." I promised him that when the book was translated, I would print a copy for him and send it to him, and I would do my best to help him collect progressive books from the West......"

"Huh? Well! ”

When Master Zhou heard this, he immediately agreed: "Okay, it's decided!" You wait, I'll go find the best translator. It is important to ensure that the Chinese translation of Zhangshouxue is the most in line with the original work! ”

Watching Master Zhou rush away, the senior brother who had always been steady couldn't help laughing.

Meng Ke couldn't help laughing either.

Uncle Zhou is really a lover.

The next day, Master Zhou left Zhengding with a carriage full of gifts, and for the sake of An Mengke's heart, he also offered to take only Huang Jian and Jin Hu.

"Senior brother, do you know where Master Zhou is going?"

Looking at the carriage in the distance, Meng Ke raised his elbow against Lin Hai beside him and asked.

"Listening to the second junior brother, it seems to be the capital."

Capital? Meng Ke was stunned.

Damn, don't give me a retired veteran official loyal to the court!

……

In the next few days, Meng Ke's task was to practice martial arts, inspect, and personally select young and enthusiastic men among the disciples, boxers, and dart masters, instill advanced ideas in them, and lay a good foundation for learning "****XY" in advance.

These are the aspiring young people he intends to use to insert themselves into the various sub-altars as the backbone, replacing those conservative schools who are backward in their thinking and stubborn.

Of course, all forces must be constrained by rules, and they cannot do whatever they want.

As long as those old guards don't do anything bad, they can't be replaced directly, let alone killed with one shot, which will only chill the older generation.

A little bit of their rights, let them take the initiative to retire and stay in Zhengding to be a rich man, or build a school for them to teach the training backbone how to deal with the difficulties of villains, how to prevent being blinded and empty by their subordinates.

is the so-called: Hades is good-looking, but the little ghost is difficult.

The most difficult thing to deal with in society is not the high-ranking and powerful people, but the kind of villains below them who have a little power but are cautious.

Such a person, although he can't make you successful, he can definitely make you bad.

There are so many doorways in here!

In addition, don't ask the progressive youth why they want to learn this, just ask where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

You can not use what you have learned, but you can't and won't!

After the initial framework was laid, Meng Ke went to class every day, listening to the students shouting 'good principal' and 'good teacher', not to mention how comfortable life was.

Especially when dreaming at night......

Eh, that saliva made the pillow wet.

……

A few days passed, and the wind chimes of the carriage outside the martial arts hall rang.

Master Zhou helped an old man with a white beard into the courtyard, just looking at this appearance, I am afraid that he is even older than Guo Lao!

"Mr.'s surname is Shen, his name is Yugui, and his name is Weng. In the second year of Guangxu (1876), he co-edited the "Minbao" with Mr. Cai Zifu, and in the eighth year of Guangxu (1882), he assisted Lin Lezhi, a missionary of the United States of America (USA) Supervisory Committee, in compiling the "Universal Gazette". In the following years, after the "Universal Gazette" was changed to a monthly newspaper, he was assigned the position of chief writer in Chinese; Some time ago, because of his age, he unloaded his burden and prepared to return to his hometown. If it weren't for the fact that my father had a friendship with my husband, and that he had a strong interest in Western studies, he would never have wanted to make this trip. ”

After Mr. Zhou helped Mr. Zhou sit down, he respectfully poured a cup of tea while introducing Meng Ke.

There is friendship, ability, and open-mindedness, which can tolerate Western learning.

Should I say it or not, Master Zhou's provocative eyes are really vicious.

"The younger generation Zhang Runtu has seen the old gentleman."

For the old-timers, Runtu has always been very respectful.

"Don't be so restrained, let's just sit down and talk. I don't know which book Zhang Xiaoyou wants to translate when he asks the old man to come over? Can you let the old man take a look? ”

Mr. Shen took a sip of tea and asked casually.

"There is no need, the old gentleman will not be treated."

Meng Ke got up and walked to the bookshelf, pulling out a brand new book from the most inconspicuous corner of the shelf.

"Look at it, old gentleman!"

Shen Yugui stretched out his hand to take the book, looked at the title of the book carefully, thought about the translation for a while, and then read it out in official language.

"Declaration, declaration...... Isn't this book the same as the "DLXY" of the United States of America? ”

Meng Ke smiled and shook his head.

"I don't know about it, but I heard a missionary say that this book is a book of progress, which can build an ideal state like a 'great society' and a 'utopia.'"

"So magical? So can you let Shen take this book with you to translate? ”

Shen Yugui was a little surprised and curious when he heard this, and stared at Meng Ke with a pair of cloudy eyes, waiting for his answer.

"That's nature."

Translation cannot be done overnight, especially since Mr. Shen is over 80 years old and his spirit is exhausted, and if he wants to translate this masterpiece, he must carefully scrutinize and think painstakingly.
