According to Zhou Lezhi's idea, with the existence of a "confidant" like Liang Cunhou, Mr. Wang would probably introduce his husband to Yuyuan Society. However, he guessed completely wrong. From the beginning to the end, his husband did not know the existence of Yuyuan Society.
The one who went to socialize with Yuyuan was actually Zhou Lezhi.
"You can go to Yuyuan Society to exchange information. You can talk about anything, but you can't talk about two things:" Wang Yehao warned, "The first is the Hearthstone Immortal; the second is the 'Book of Heaven'."
"Where are those books sir? If anyone asks for advice, do you want..."
"It's okay. In Kun's studies, you can tell everything you want to know."
"Yes, I understand, little one."
"When you see me in the future, you don't need to call yourself young, just call me 'student'. From now on, you will be regarded as my teacher."
Zhou Lezhi was overjoyed and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you so much for your grace."
Originally, he was an "unidentified concubine" in the palace. Although he was regarded as a disciple of "Hearthstone Taoist Master", he was actually similar to a servant of the Wang family. When he saw Mr. Wang, he had to kneel down to salute and call him "Master"; from now on, he is a serious person.
He became a "sir" who treated everyone as equals. This was a big leap in his life for a peasant boy who couldn't study well.
"If you work hard, you will inevitably become an Imperial College student in the future."
"Yes, I would like to ask for more help from the master." Zhou Lezhi bowed to the end like a scholar, and then asked: "If there are some questions that the students don't know, can I ask Mr. Zhou for help before answering?"
"It doesn't matter. Just don't let them know."
Zhou Lezhi's appearance in Yuyuan Society immediately caused a sensation among the members. At that time, there were less than seven or eight people in Yuyuan Society. Except for Liang Cunhou, it was a very small circle among Guangzhou scholars.
Liang is very careful when selecting people. He will not accept people who are simply interested in thief's and thief's belongings. After all, these objects are novel and interesting, and almost everyone is interested. However, he needs to have some insights and knowledge about thief's and thief's belongings.
Only qualified people can join the society.
But no matter how much insight he had, it was only a smattering of knowledge, and how could he be as organized and knowledgeable as Zhou Lezhi. After going there two or three times, he seemed to be the "Master of Kun Studies" of Yuyuan Society. Liang Cunhou invited him to come to Guangzhou to give lectures twice a month.
Preach and teach.
As for Mr. Li's books, they did not cause much of a stir - as Australians returned to Guangzhou, many Australian books began to appear on the market. After Liang Cunhou sent people to purchase them, all except one was left in Yuyuan Society.
Send a copy to Zhaoqing.
My husband's reactions to these books have been mixed. Most of them admired them and used them as textbooks for teaching. But some books were scornful. For example, this book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
This book was not sent to me by Liang Cunhou - his focus in buying books was the study of beards, and this kind of theory was naturally not included in it. So when this book appeared in Mr. Yong's courtyard, or in a room with you, he obviously
It was a surprise.
"Where did this book come from?" Mr. Zhou raised the book and asked Yourong sternly.
Yourong gave birth to a son as he wished in the capital. When the son was six months old, Wang Yehao sent someone to take him to Zhaoqing and live in the Zhou residence in the Governor's Mansion. The husband was so happy that he immediately named him Zhou Newton.
Now Yourong can be said to be completely satisfied. Although Mr. Zhou did not say who is older and who is younger, Yourong feels that he is a "meritorious minister" and his arrogance has obviously surpassed Yui's.
She has the ability to maintain her "merit", and because Mr. Zhou has a soft temper and loves children the most, her arrogance in Zhou's house has become even higher this week?
At this moment, she suddenly saw that the master had changed his face into a ferocious one. She was so frightened that she quickly put away her impetuous behavior and whispered, "Wang Zhi bought it."
"Wang Zhi!" The gentleman shouted into the yard, and Wang Zhi, who was waiting outside, hurried over.
"What are your orders, Master?"
"Did you buy this book?"
Wang Zhi took the book and read it, scratched his head and recalled: "That's right, no one else in our house reads books. They are all little rap books that Miss Rong asked me to buy for entertainment."
Compared to Yui, who doesn't know a few Chinese characters, Yourong's cultural level is indeed much higher. Not only is he proficient in poetry, lyrics and songs, but he is also an expert at playing, playing and singing. Originally, Zhou Lezhi wanted to cultivate her well.
, but unfortunately within a few days, we discovered that the classical arrogant literary girl and the modern upright middle-aged scientific man were not the same person. With a generation gap of nearly four hundred years, it was not as easy to exchange feelings as to exchange body fluids.
Yourong also went through the thought process from joy to disillusionment. When he first found out that the concubine was a staff member of the governor's Yamen, Yourong was really happy for a while, but later when he met the real person, he found that the concubine was actually an unlearned person.
Unskilled people not only have poor poetry and poor understanding of lyrics and music, but sometimes they can't even understand the note handed over by Mr. Wang.
Although he was not good at academics, he was able to prosper with Mr. Wang taking care of him, but it was a pity that he could not get such an honor as a royal decree.
"Where did you buy it from?" The gentleman continued to ask Wang Zhi.
"The Ziyuan Bookstore in Guangzhou is a newly opened bookstore with a very large facade and is very impressive."
"This is probably Dongzhu Guo's business, right?"
"Yes, all the Australian books originally sold by Zizhen Zhai have now been moved and sold, and many more books have been added. In addition to this novel, there are also many painting books..."
"Comic strip."
"It's probably called this. It has fewer words and more drawings, which is convenient to look at. It's also cheap, and many people buy it..."
"Did you buy it too?"
"Yes..." Wang didn't know why he suddenly became energetic about this matter, "I bought a few books."
"Bring it to me and see."
There was a familiar feeling when I picked up the comic strip. It turned out to be several copies of "Yue Fei's Biography".
"Is there fifteen books in the complete set?"
"Yes..." Wang Zhi looked at the master in surprise, "I can't afford the whole set, so I'll buy a few copies first, and then I'll buy a few more when I get the monthly payment."
"You go ahead." The gentleman waved Wang Zhi away.
Zhou Lezhi didn't understand why he was so surprised. This Australian speaking department was not a rare thing. He didn't know. He, a person who often goes to Guangzhou, knew everything about it.
"Sir, this is the latest batch of Australian books sent by Liang Mansion."
"You just put it on the table." The gentleman said impatiently and picked up "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" again.
"This book is also being reprinted. They must have had enough to eat and have nothing to do!"
After turning a page, the gentleman's eyes fell on the cover: "Even the author has been changed! Shameless! Mr. Cha doesn't know what to think when he sees it..."
Zhou Lezhi asked cautiously: "This author..."
"This is not the author." The gentleman said, and he threw the book aside carelessly, "There are probably other books like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword", right?"
"I've never seen this before."
"Is it Liang Cunhou who got the book?"
"Yes, according to Mr. Liang, Australians have also opened bookstores in Guangzhou..."
"The steps are getting bigger and bigger." Mr. Zhou started his mindless monologue again, "Cultural penetration, tsk tsk..."
Zhou Lezhi did not dare to speak. He only watched his husband flipping through the latest Australian books in the study. As long as they involved books such as classics and history, he directly picked them out and threw them aside. The rest were classified according to the categories of workers, farmers, and farmers.
The three categories were divided into categories for Zhou Lezhi to register and put on the bookshelf.
"There are indeed them," the gentleman said to himself as he classified them. "They are despicable, but they are far-sighted."
The collection of books is growing. Because the sources of books have increased, the teacher writes less and less textbooks himself. Most of the time, he makes annotations and revisions from purchased books, and then gives lectures.
"Sir, if the thief prints out his knowledge and sells it, aren't you afraid that others will learn it and create weapons for the military and the country?"
"Haha," the gentleman sneered, "This is how powerful they are!" He picked up a book and said, "This book is an example."
This is a book called "Introduction to Optics". My husband used it as a textbook and taught a lot of optical knowledge. Because they had prisms, telescopes, magnifying glasses and other optical equipment bought from Zizhenzhai, they could learn with twice the result with half the effort.
Many optical principles were explained clearly.
"...This book talks about optical principles throughout, and also teaches the structure of many optical equipment. But with this book alone, can you make these telescopes and magnifiers?"
"Disaster……"
"Yes, even if we know the principles and structure, even if we have the actual object, we still can't make it. Although we know how to smelt glass, we don't know how to make colorless and transparent glass, nor how to polish it to make different degrees.
Concave mirrors and convex mirrors... these all need the support of a system. Understand."
Zhou Lezhi said thoughtfully: "So, making each component requires a book..."
"This is exactly where their motive lies. Don't we all know that Australian knowledge is powerful and useful? I asked you to learn it, but you won't be able to use it. But when one day they also come to Guangzhou, those who have learned from Australia will
Learned people, but they can use it."
Zhou Lezhi shuddered unconsciously: "Sir, are you saying that the thieves will still...want...to attack Guangdong in the future?"
"I'm afraid I'll have to drink from the Yangtze River and fight for the world!"
This terrifying future made Zhou Lezhi shudder. After all, Guangdong, especially the vicinity of Guangzhou, has been relatively peaceful for nearly a hundred years, with no major wars.
"Is there any way to stop the thief's ambition?"
The husband glanced at him and suddenly smiled: "You have great ambitions for the world..."
"Sir, you are joking. It is related to the safety of Sangzi. How can you ignore it?" Zhou Lezhi said sternly, "Sir, don't you hear the tragic situation in Sanshan Sanliang?"
Hearthstone Immortal's expression was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect his student to say such a thing. He stared at him silently for a long time, and then said: "Now that the Australians have become powerful, it will be difficult to put up a grand formation to deal with them.
If you want to ascend to heaven, you can only do it secretly and commit roosters and dogs."
He thought for a moment and said: "From today on, I will teach you the Australian art of using time."
