Xu Guangqi is very frank.

Zhu Yili looked at the young man in front of him, who was only in his twenties and felt very young.

But in fact, Zhu Yiliu didn't know how to explain it to Xu Guangqi more acceptable.

After all, Xu Guangqi's brilliant life has just begun, and Matteo Ricci has only been in the Ming Dynasty for a few years. They have not met yet.

Xu Guangqi is still in a stage of curiosity about science, and he is probably not even able to say enlightenment.

This is also the reason why Xu Guangqi felt flattered and incredible when he was summoned.

Asked, Xu Guangqi nodded frankly and admitted, but how did Zhu Yili explain?

When asked Feng Bao to invite Xu Guangqi before, Zhu Yili was worried that he would change his glorious life because of interfering with his life?

Giving young people too much halo at this time may not be a good thing, and it is very likely to ruin others.

Because you give too much halo at this time, designation will lead to a better future path for others, and it will be less likely to experience too many twists and hardships.

In this way, a person's nature will naturally not have the opportunity to be tempered for thousands of times, and then his achievements are usually difficult to reach a peak.

Just like Zhu Zai, if he had not had nineteen years of lonely life and had tempered his mind, it is hard to say whether he could still study the twelve equal laws.

There are also Tang Xianzu, if Zhang Juzheng had not blocked the pen of high school for ten years and refused to let him go, it would be hard to say whether Tang Xianzu's writing skills were so strong.

Things in the world have two sides.

But one thing is that young people suffer more, which will definitely benefit more than disadvantages in their future life, which is a good thing.

If you artificially give too much halo, it will make young people skip the hardships they should have endured, making people less powerful.

This is exactly the problem that Zhu Yiliu has always been worried about.

It is just whether to intervene in advance and have not yet made a name for itself, but Zhu Yiliu knows the lives of those who will become great in the future, and is afraid of helping them grow.

Because Xu Guangqi is different from Li Shizhen, Zhu Zai-kyo, and Shen Yongjia at the moment.

Xu Guangqi is still a blank piece of paper, and when Zhu Yili decided to help Li Shizhen, Zhu Zaiyou, Shen Yongjia and others, their achievements were already very high. They had already experienced unknown dormant time, but they had not yet emerged and were only known.

Xu Guangqi has not experienced those things yet.

Behind every great man, there will always be a period of unknown time, during which no one cares about it, I don’t know how much pain, torture, sadness and cynicism...

Li Shizhen, Zhu Zaiyou, Tang Xianzu, Shen Yongjia and others have all experienced it, so they shine in their respective fields.

Zhu Yiliu was worried about whether he would praise Xu Guangqi!

But since the person was summoned and the people expressed their doubts, Zhu Yili still said frankly: "I think you have insight and are a talent that can be made."

Xu Guangqi was even more confused. He asked when he was invited by Feng Bao, but now he had to ask again: "But your Majesty doesn't seem to know Weishu before this, right?"

The answer Feng Bao gave him at that time was that the emperor knew everything and could do everything. There was no one in this world that the emperor didn’t know? Xu Guangqi felt that he could not convince him.

However, Feng Bao's status was too high, and Xu Guangqi did not dare to refute it at that time.

Zhu Yili smiled slightly and said, "I have never seen you before, but I can be called a divine friendship."

"..." Xu Guangqi felt like he was dreaming, and he had never seen him before, so he naturally could not understand him. So how could he talk about the divine friendship? But you are the emperor, and whatever you say is, he dare not refute it.

So Xu Guangqi was just flattered and said, "What kind of virtue is the empress? He can actually be appreciated by His Majesty? He doesn't know what to say at this moment."

"I know you like research, so I specially sent you to the West to study and experience it."

"I don't know how to be grateful to Your Majesty for your great kindness. This trip to the world opened my eyes and felt that there were too many things to learn."

When it comes to other countries to study, Xu Guangqi seems less nervous and has a desire to share.

"I heard that after returning from overseas this time, many foreign missionaries followed the mission to the Ming Dynasty. I wonder what you think of foreign religions?" Zhu Yiliu said.

"It's just a belief. I think I can understand it to increase our knowledge, but I don't have to learn it."

“So what do you think you should learn?”

"Weichen thinks their technology, their military, their mathematics, etc. are more worth learning. As for faith, there are also Chinese people, such as Confucianism and Taoism, and the East and the West do not distinguish between high and low. On the contrary, in the field of technology, weichen thinks that the East and the West seem to be moving in different directions, but let the Weichen say that the Weichen seems to be unable to explain clearly, and feel that there are too many things to learn."

Although it was just a simple passage, Zhu Yili could feel the awakening of different people in Xu Guangqi's consciousness, so he said jokingly:

"There may be a special noun to describe in the field of technology you are talking about, that is science."

It was already very late for the word "science" to enter the Chinese people's vision, and we have to wait until the Republic of China.

But missionaries like Matteo Ricci have actually promoted natural science knowledge in the Ming Dynasty.

While they spread Christianity in Chinese, they are using the promotion of natural science knowledge in Western countries to gain favorable impressions from the Chinese people.

"Science?" Xu Guangqi looked confused, and it must be the first time he heard this word.

Zhu Yiliu couldn't explain, so he had to say, "In a while, I will introduce you to a friend of a foreign missionary, and you should be able to talk to you."

Matteo Ricci has been in the Ming Dynasty for several years now, but he is not in Beijing, but in the south. Later, he lived in Beijing for a long time, and was also in Beijing when he died.

Zhu Yiliu is preparing to invite Matteo Ricci in advance.

After all, the Ming Dynasty needed the awakening and arming of scientific knowledge at this time.

"Thank you for your concern!" Xu Guangqi said, "Can you take the initiative to ask, is the friend Your Majesty want to introduce a missionary who came to Beijing with us this time?"

"No." Zhu Yili shook his head.

"But your Majesty, why do you want to introduce the missionaries to the empress?" Xu Guangqi asked weakly again. After all, he had expressed his attitude towards the missionaries just now, and he did not seem to have expressed his appreciation!

"Don't simply think that they are just missionaries. In fact, they have many outstanding scholars. Just like the one I want to introduce to you, Matteo Ricci, who knows mathematics, astronomy, calendar, geography, humanities, and many other knowledge, which will help you learn from the West better. I hope you will take the lead."

"Fortunately, Your Majesty has trusted you so much, I will do my best!" Xu Guangqi said authentically.

"It's good that you can understand my hard work!" Zhu Yili sighed, "Why do I have to go to other countries even if I go out? It's because the Chinese people have a narrow vision and think that the Ming Dynasty is the best and strongest. You should be clear when you go out. The West actually surpasses us in many aspects, so we must learn from others' good things, otherwise we will fall behind, and if we fall behind, we will be beaten. Isn't Japan bullying North Korea because North Korea is backward?"

"Your Majesty's words are reasonable. I have always heard that Your Majesty has a unique vision and outstanding vision. This is a blessing for my Ming Dynasty!" Xu Guangqi couldn't help but exclaim.

"My ability alone is limited after all, so you still need to work together with me."

"I will do my best to share your worries with Your Majesty!"
