Chapter 66: Death in the Doctor's Heap & Sino-Korean Sugar Trade and Japan

"Let's take a quick look at it all. Quickly find out the overall context of his discourse, and then help him adjust the overall structure of his discourse, based on this structure, and then adjust the order of his discourse, and then revise the text after the table of contents is determined. ”

"You are an editor of ancient books, and you should focus on the whole." Bai Xinshu stared at Zuo Youyou, "You are like a chef, the entire economic history of East Asia reflected by the Wantaihe, all the raw materials, first-hand historical materials and discourses are all in your hands, these are like washed dishes." In the end, it's up to you to decide how the dish will look and how you want to cook it. If you find it valuable, contact the author to supplement the discussion, which you feel needs to be deleted, and where you feel that the author's conclusion is doubtful and needs to be reconsidered...... It's up to you. ”

"They're all Ph.D......."

"What is a doctor!" Bai Xinshu waved his hand, "In our business, a board is smashed down, how many are not doctors?" You do it! ”

Bai Xinshu apparently selectively ignored Zuo Youyou's academic qualifications.

Zuo Youyou swallowed nervously: "But...... But how can I be a visiting scholar at Harvard University......"

"There is a specialization in the art industry. Since you have done this position, you have to shoulder this responsibility. Who of our editors is not a well-known scholar? Whose author is not a master? You have to have your own judgment, and you have a higher position than the author himself. ”

Zuo Youyou thought of Bai Xinshu, Lao Shi, Dr. Xia, and Jian Xingzhou's professional skills, and thought of his own professional skills, and said tremblingly: "Boss, it's so difficult." It's too much of a task, but it's actually ...... I don't think I'm ready to ......"

The thick eyebrows of the cypress tree furrowed.

"You always see your shortcomings." Bai Xinshu hit the nail on the head and said, "Zuo Youyou, life cannot be fully prepared and 100% sure before you start acting. Things in this world are never ready for a time. No matter how you got in, now that you're sitting in this position, you're going to get this done. ”

A bowl of thick chicken soup was poured down, and Zuo Youyou heard the word "dead support" from Bai Xinshu's words.

Zuo Youyou said: "But I ......"

Bai Xinshu said ruthlessly: "If you can't study, you won't be able to learn." ”

Really.

The Mystery of Contemporary Social Animals: Dead End.

Zuo Youyou bowed his head and responded.

Zuo Youyou was completely sleepy by Bai Xinshu's words, so he simply moved the computer over and began to sort out the full text of Jiang Shiqin's treatise.

Bai Xinshu sat across from him, busy sending emails.

The snow-white fluorescent lamp hit his face, his skin was almost transparent in the light, his hair and eyebrows were dark and dull, his thick black eyelashes drooping, and the dark eyes behind the gray frames were staring intently at the laptop screen.

Under the sleeves of the black pajamas, a thin wrist is exposed.

It is the only view in this plainly decorated living room.

It's a pity, good-looking is good-looking, under the strong work pressure, even if Zuo Youyou has a little reverie in his heart, this will dissipate cleanly, and only anxiety remains.

Zuo Youyou used a flow chart on the computer to sort out the context of Jiang Shiqin's writings.

Drawing and drawing, she began to wonder.

"I don't understand." She spoke out of nowhere.

The tree looked up and frowned.

"Where do you not understand?"

Bai Xinshu walked around to the long table and stood behind Zuo Youyou, looking at Zuo Youyou's computer screen.

He should have just taken a bath, and the faint scent of cedar soap lingered around Zuo Youyou.

The air was so quiet that Zuo Youyou could hear his own heartbeat.

She thought she must be blushing.

Zuo Youyou didn't dare to look back at all, and pointed to the flowchart on the screen with cowardice.

"The third part of this treatise discusses the business of the Mantae-ho in Korea." Zuo Youyou pointed to the first node, and the small square was marked with the word "lottery", "The author selected the two businesses of Wantaihe as representatives for discussion. One is the lottery. ”

"Yes, the first time the lottery was introduced to Koreans was a Chinese businessman."

"I understand this,Wan Tai and the number is a lottery fortune,So it needs to be discussed in the treatise. But the second representative business that Jiang Shiqin discussed was sugar. ”

On the computer screen, in the flowchart drawn by Zuo Youyou, the small square is marked with the word "sugar" and a "?" is typed next to it.

Zuo Youyou turned his back to Bai Xinshu, so he didn't know, Bai Xinshu saw the word "sugar", and his eyes lit up.

But he didn't say anything.

Zuo Youyou said: "From my account books, I can see that the majority of the profits of the Vantaehe in North Korea are real estate, new modern goods such as bicycles, as well as taxi business and banking business. If the author chooses a business that can represent Wantaihe, why did he choose the inconspicuous category of 'sugar'? ”

Why?

Because the discussion on sugar is Jiang Shiqin's doctoral dissertation, which is included in the treatise by Bai Xinshu.

Bai Xinshu smiled with an inscrutable and cunning smile.

"Good question." He pretended to think for a while, "This is a good question with a very big picture. Choice, in itself, represents a tendency. The author's selection of the sugar business as a representative may be due to ulterior motives, misunderstandings, or related to the field that the author has been researching...... Cough. ”

He just took this opportunity to exercise Zuo Youyou's ability to examine evidence.

Zuo Youyou didn't realize that he had stepped into the routine of Bai Xin Shu at all.

She took out the ledger arranged by Fang Fang from the computer, searched it and pulled it out to show Bai Xinshu: "In the Wantaihe "Import Hatch List", there is not even a record of imported sugar in 1891. ”

The cypress tree leaned down to look at the bill, and the faint smell of cedar became strong.

Zuo Youyou began to feel hot.

Bai Xinshu pulled a chair, sat next to Zuo Youyou, and pulled the computer in front of him. Suddenly, he noticed Zuo Youyou's abnormality:

"Are you sick?" He asked subconsciously.

"Nope! It's so hot! Aha......"

Bai Xinshu nodded and continued to look at the computer.

Zuo Youyou was so embarrassed that he wanted to faint.

Bai Xinshu didn't notice Zuo Youyou's abnormality. He placed his slender fingers on the mouse and circled a few numbers.

According to the data, until 1894, the sugar trading volume of the Wantaihe was increasing year by year. From 1895 until the beginning of the 20th century, sugar trading continued to be flat; But in the 20th century, it began to decline dramatically. ”

"In 1894, the Donghak Party of Korea revolted, Japan sent troops into Korea, and Korea asked for help from the Qing Dynasty, the suzerain, and the First Sino-Japanese Naval War broke out in the same year." Zuo Youyou is very sensitive to the years of China's modern history, "Is it related to Japan?" ”
