Xinshun 1730

Chapter 5 Backward
Speaking of this, Liu Yu couldn't help becoming nervous.

It's easy to turn your face and deny people. Dai Jinxian's mathematics level is regarded as a master in this era, but in the eyes of Liu Yu, who has studied in the previous life, that's the case. He has a rough calculus level, right?

But even if you turn your face and don't recognize anyone, and you won't communicate with each other in the future, what's the matter if you had a close relationship before?If something happens in the future, will someone take the opportunity to make trouble?

Liu Yu only felt a little sweat on his back, and muttered: "Yes, my son knows. But Western learning does have its merits. If this is the case, it will be detrimental to the country if it cuts off contact with the West? Xu Guangqi is so talented, he even praised Matteo Ricci as a great talent, and there are books such as "Geometry Elements" and "Taixi Water Method". Today, Chixian County in Kyushu is not the only place in the world..."

Liu Sheng sighed and said, "How do I not know? Before drawing the map of the world, no one in the military government can preside over such a major event, and can only be done by Western missionaries. How can the matter of the map, the fate of the country, be easily dealt with?" People? But there is no way, we will not. The map of the Chinese Empire surveyed and drawn by the French missionaries, the French people know all about the passes, mountains and rivers of the Chinese Empire!"

"To calculate the calendar, no one in Qintianjian is invincible. We can only cry, 'It is better to let Zhongxia have no good calendar than to have Westerners in Zhongxia', but what is the use? Just like Che Chiguo in "Journey to the West" Fighting skills, betting life to calculate the solar eclipse, in the end, all the court people in Qin Tianjian lost the bet, and if they lost the bet, they acted arrogantly and refused to die, and the face of the court of our country was completely lost."

"The "Wanli Yehuo Bian" of the Ming Dynasty said that there was a ban on learning astronomy at the beginning of the country. Those who learned the calendar were sent to the garrison, and those who made the calendar were put to death. Freezing three feet is not a day's cold."

"Could it be that I don't know Western knowledge, but there is something to learn? But now the Holy See sends people here, speaking arrogantly, not allowing Chinese believers to worship their ancestors, and demanding that all cities be fully opened to allow missionaries to come and go freely. No one will Allowed."

Liu Yu also sighed. He knew about the surveying and mapping of the map of the Celestial Dynasty a few years ago, and he relied on French missionaries.

Because Galileo came up with the longitude measurement method of Jupiter’s satellites as standard time, the world’s first map of standard longitude and latitude appeared. Louis XIV first saw the French map of standard longitude and latitude and once complained: The land lost by scientists , more than I lost a single battle.

France is also known as the "God's filial son". The Holy See was arguing with Dashun because of the etiquette dispute, and France seized the opportunity to send missionaries, and even academicians from the French Academy of Sciences.

Father Liu Sheng said that the French people know everything about our country's mountains and rivers... In fact, it is not only the French people who know everything?Even some missionaries among the vassals of Shenluo who have never been to China can organize and draw a complete map of the provinces of Han, with clear markings.

Surveying and mapping is the lifeblood of a country.Liu Yu is very clear.

All the civilian maps in the previous life had the latitude and longitude coordinates of Mars, and it was strictly forbidden for other countries to map their own country, and the devils invaded China by sending people to draw maps first.

Dashun is not without brains, the military government's official department is supposed to do this, and the fourth department of the Ministry of War has a heavy responsibility that cannot be handed over to others. It's not that the country is not clear.

But now they can only rely on Westerners, because the local surveying and mapping methods are seriously distorted.

Westerners have left copies of the mountains and rivers, which will be hidden dangers in the future.

It is a great hidden danger, but as long as there is a way, such things as surveying and mapping maps must not be entrusted to foreigners.

Now that the gap between the East and the West has widened, Euler, the blind man who can calculate calculus in his mind and solve the three-body problem of the sun, earth and moon, has emerged, and he is about to unify the symbols in mathematics textbooks for later generations.

The partisanship between the Western French Party and the Conservative Party broke out at this time, and the Holy See is still clinging to the issue of etiquette, and it is impossible for the two parties to reconcile.

The father and son sighed at each other, but finally Liu Sheng waved his hand to signal Liu Yu to leave.

"You just write it down, and don't spread the matter. The booklet I just gave you, you should read it carefully when you go back. It will be of great benefit."

"Yes. My son wrote it down."

Liu Yu touched the few pieces of paper in his hand, but he didn't know what was written inside.Do father and son still play charades?Just say no and it's over?
Bowing and saluting, he stepped back to the door with small steps, pushed the door and left.

"It seems that the court wants to ban religion?"

…………

Walking outside from the outer study, Liu Yu felt quite depressed, and the cicadas in early autumn were even more disturbing, chirping non-stop.

Mantou was still obediently waiting for him by the stable, watching Liu Yu lower his head and drooping horns from a long distance, and he also had a sense of ominous premonition in his heart.

Hurriedly walking to the side, Liu Yu remembered that there was an uneasy servant beside him.

"It's okay, it has nothing to do with you, you can rest assured."

"call……"

Mantouchang heaved a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to caress his chest, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "I saw that the third master looked bad, so I thought he was going to be beaten again with the third master. Since there is nothing wrong, the little one will go to Quanliu first." I will let you know, so as not to worry those people."

"Well, good. I won't go. I have something to do and I'm not in the mood to drink. Don't say I won't go, just say..."

"These words still need to be taught by the third master? I said that the third master was stopped by the Duke and asked for knowledge."

Seeing that he was clever, Liu Yu smiled and took out a small piece of broken silver from his bosom and threw it over, "It just so happens that there is a temple fair in Huguo Temple today on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. You can go and play, I won't go out today, without you It's over."

This is my confidant, the companion who grew up with me, so the treatment is naturally different.

Mantou took the money and saluted. Seeing Liu Yu still had a sad face, he asked with concern, "Third Master is not in a good mood?"

Liu Yu nodded, wondering if he was in a good mood?Seeing that the world is in peace, the world is actually changing drastically. I don’t want to sit around and wait to die, and I don’t want Dashun to repeat the humiliation that happened a hundred years later. After thinking about it, I can only sigh: "I have no choice but to pay Yaoqin with my heart, and I have few friends." , Who will listen to the broken string? This matter has nothing to do with you, you can go to your own business. "

Mantou didn't ask any more questions, went to the stable to get the horse and left.

Liu Yu was in a bad mood and needed to think about some things, so he had to go back to his residence first.

He hasn't married yet, and doesn't have any position, and he still lives in the inner courtyard of the Duke's Mansion.Although the Duke's Mansion is large, the memory imprinted in his bones will not change, and he will not be able to find where he lives.

Slowly passing through the Waiyi Gate, there is another courtyard with a width of more than 20 feet.On the front is a large front hall with five rooms, but this is not the main house of the Duke's Mansion.

Passing the front hall along the path full of flowers and plants, there is another Yimen, which is the inner Yimen.

Entering the Neiyi Gate, and then going forward, is the main hall of the Duke's Mansion. There are seven open halls, which are the chartered system of the Duke's Mansion.

Under the peasants, farmers, and businessmen, no matter how rich the merchants were, they could not build a seven-room main hall.That is usurpation, the crime of decapitation.

As usual, the main hall can only be used when the emperor makes a decree or when the prince visits, and it is usually just a decoration.

Liu Yu lived far away. There was a hallway in the main hall. After passing the hallway, walk more than a hundred steps to the right and walk through two courtyards. This is where he lived.

Under the rule of etiquette, brothers and sisters cannot hang out together for too long.Once you reach puberty, you have to live separately.My sisters are all in some courtyards behind the main hall, and my mother is also there, so that it is convenient to take care of and educate my sisters.

It is said that the filthy man of the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, the Duke's Mansion didn't care too much, the main reason was that he was afraid of going further and directly creating an orthopedic story of "Lu Dao is in trouble, and Qi Zi returns. The day returns to stop, and the heart stops".

The rules here are completely different from those in the previous life. Although the words are similar, they are actually two worlds.

After all, Liu Yu is still not used to it, so he can only adapt slowly.

Move to my own small courtyard, there are two ginkgo trees in the courtyard, the sun is shining, casting a little bit of mottled.

A few young maids were sprinkling water there, and two young maids were carrying a long bamboo pole with lumps of gluten hanging on it. They were there, probably because they were afraid that the annoying cicadas would disturb the young master's lucid dream. .

Just after entering the door, a maid in a green and yellow skirt greeted her. Before Liu Yu could order, she fetched water to wash her face and stood aside with a towel in her hand.

"Why did the third master eat this wine so quickly today?"

The little maid was standing very close, exhaling like orchids, and she also contained some mint leaves on weekdays, which was cool and refreshing, making Liu Yu itchy.

Before Liu Yu could answer, the maid handed over the towel and asked Liu Yu to wipe her hands.Sniffing the faint smell of alcohol exhaled by Liu Yu, she took back the towel, and said with a smile: "I knew that the third master was going to drink, and I prepared to drink the maple birch dew from the north. .”

While talking, Rou Yi dragged the towel with her tender hands, and went to prepare maple tea gracefully.

There seemed to be some scent of the powder from the girl's fingers on her face. Turning to look at the other maids serving, Liu Yu stretched her fingers and her bones creaked.

I thought to myself that such a life is being lived, no wonder the nobles degenerate so quickly.It is said that to study in Wude Palace, you have to study for [-] days of class a year, eat and live in Wude Palace, otherwise you will not be rated as a top-ranking student, but even some noble children feel bitter.

Feeling the little girl Yingying and Yanyan beside her, Liu Yu seemed to empathize with her.Living like this, who would like to go to Wude Palace to brush up on class hours?There are ghosts only if they don't fall.

The servant girl just now was named Yuyan, she was extremely beautiful, and she was specially arranged by her mother.

In recent years, some things from the West have been introduced to Kyushu, including crops such as corn and potatoes, and handicrafts such as glass clocks, but also syphilis from the Americas.

It was just at the young age, mother was worried that Liu Yu would go out and indulge in flowers and willows, so she specially chose a delicate girl, hoping that Liu Yu would be more fond of her home and less likely to go to Hualiu Lane.

It's not that it's a bad thing to love flowers and willows, but it's just that it's not good to be afraid of being infected with bayberry sores.

But when Yuyan came for a while, when the mother asked, Yuyan said that the third son usually reads books or rolls stone locks, but he never touches her and knows the etiquette.

Ordinarily, this is a good thing in line with "poetry etiquette", but when my mother heard it, she was very anxious.

The personal servant girl was sent here for the young masters to vent their feelings, as long as you don't believe the nonsense in the scriptures and have an equal status with the master, it will be fine.If you fall in love, you have to be beaten to death and kicked out, but if you play around, the family still supports it.It's better to be sparse than to be blocked, at least my maids are clean.

It's not that Yuyan doesn't understand Liu Yu's mother's intentions, but she can't be bothered to use some coquettish tricks, and she only hopes that one day things will come to fruition.

Liu Yu's mother heard Yuyan say that she was indifferent to a beautiful maid at the age of sixteen or seventeen. Could it be that her son has a fondness for Longyang and a habit of breaking sleeves?
Or is it that the son is young and doesn't like such a juicy maid, but likes those familiar women?If it wasn't for the sake of face, I'm afraid a well-known romantic cook in the mansion would have been arranged here long ago.

I had no choice but to arrange for another servant to entrust Yuyan with a few words in private, all of which were red-faced.With this kind of thought in mind, the Swift I chose is naturally stunning, and even more cute.

At this time, Swift had already brewed tea, and put some maple birch dew, which was a tribute from the bitter cold place in the north, and the house was full of fragrance.

Liu Yu took a sip of the maple birch-flavored tea, and the aftertaste filled her mouth, as if her mouth was full of autumn maple leaves.

Taking a sip of the tea, he took a closer look at Swift.

At the age of sixteen or seventeen, with thin shoulders, a waist like a willow, brows and eyes like black, there is a small delicate beauty mole under the corner of the mouth, and clear eyes, she is indeed a beauty.

Yuyan also noticed that Liu Yu was looking at her, and she didn't blushed and lowered her head shyly, making a smiling face, thinking that the third master changed his sex today?
Could it be that those rumors that the third master is as good as Longyang are false?

Liu Yu recalled it for a while, secretly cursing her previous self for having a problem with aesthetics.

I have absolutely no habit of cutting off my sleeves and dividing my peaches, I just went to some romantic places with a few dudes.

Having hung out with those women who have been in the romantic field for a long time, I fell in love with the kind of plump and soft women who actively tease me at a young age. The women in the romantic field are really charming.

Although Swift is beautiful when born, in the eyes of Liu Yu before, it is a sour fruit that has not yet matured. It tastes sour and tasteless, far less delicious than soft and waxy ripe peaches.

Before, he would rather be inexplicably impulsive about the waist and buttocks of the cook and mature woman than have the slightest interest in such astringent fruit as Swift.

At this time, I changed my mind, and I feel quite interesting when I look at it again.After looking at it for a while, seeing that Swift's face was a little red, he looked away.

Yuyan's heart was beating wildly, and she asked in a voice like a mosquito: "Is the third master going to take a nap? Or read a book?"

As soon as he said this, Liu Yu also remembered the business. He didn't know what to write on the few pieces of paper his father gave him, so he signaled himself to write.

Yuyan has been with Liu Yu for a long time, and when she saw Liu Yu entered the study, she hurried to study ink.Liu Yu entered the study room, looked at the books on the bookshelf, and shook his head mockingly.

"It turns out that my cultural level is really not low?"

With a self-deprecating smile, he glanced over and saw that the books on the bookshelf were really level.

The "Elements of Geometry" and "Taixi Water Method" jointly translated by Xu Guangqi and Matteo Ricci in the previous dynasty are all Chinese translations.

In addition to the Chinese translation, there is actually a half-volume manuscript of Boccaccio's "Ten Days Talk".

After reading these books, Liu Yu was even more convinced that the rumor that he was "not doing business properly" was true. He had a lot of communication with Western missionaries, and he even knew a lot of Latin.

And judging from the amount of information revealed in these books, I am afraid that the Westerners I have made friends with are of all kinds, not just as simple as Jesuit missionaries...

I have never heard of any missionary who can read "Ten Days Talk". What is the difference between this and monks watching "Monk Luncao"?
Except for these weird Western books, the rest are relatively normal.

A set of the first four histories, a pile of "Li Weigong Questions and Answers", "Six Secret Teachings", "Three Strategies", "Wei Liaozi" and other military books, and a pre-Ming "Lu Mi Gun" matchlock gun.

Lumi, Rome, Roma, Rumelia... is actually Ottoman Turkey.

Rome Green is Rome after all.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Lumi gun was already a little behind Western Europe, and the path was a bit crooked.

This is the elite standard equipment of the Fifth Battalion of Dashun. However, at this time, the UK is about to mass-produce the brown bass used in the Opium War.The generational gap has emerged.Seeing the whole leopard at a glance, Liu Yu probably knew Dashun's military strength and formation.

At this time, Swift had already studied the ink, and besides the writing size, there was actually a set of quill pens for writing foreign characters on the pen stand.

There is a small chime clock on the desk, and beside the chime clock is a glass mirror made in Venice, and next to it is a Ru kiln beauty goblet like a woman with a thin waist in the palace of Chu, with a bouquet of flowers inside.

There was some purple smoke slowly rising from the incense burner on the table. I don't know what kind of incense it was smoking. It smelled very faint, which just suppressed the faint strange smell in the ink.

Swift stood aside, fanning her fan obediently, being careful not to make Liu Yu feel uncomfortable due to the strong wind.

Sitting in front of the desk, Liu Yu took out the pamphlet his father gave him, glanced at it, and couldn't laugh or cry.
