After this banquet, Huang Hankun became "one" of this group of scholars. It was not until the banquet was about to end that he realized that most of these scholars were members of the "Yuyuan Society".
It is said to be "studying articles, reciting poems and composing poems", but it is actually a group of people hanging out together, eating, drinking and having fun, composing poems and discussing state affairs.
This society was loosely organized, and its members were not limited to students from Nanhai County School, but also scholars like Liang Cunhou and scholars without fame like Wu Ji. Among them, Lin Zunxiu was the sponsor, and Liang Cunhou was vaguely the leader.
A few days later, Huang Huangkun was invited by Lin Zunxiu to go to his "villa" for fun.
The Lin family's villa is located at the foot of Baiyun Mountain. It is nicknamed "Bamboo Garden". In fact, it is just an villa in the mountains and forests. The layout is also ordinary, but the surrounding scenery is beautiful and the environment is quiet. It is not far from Guangzhou city.
It is far away and you can enter and exit the city on the same day. Lin Zunxiu made this place a gathering place for members of the Yuyuan Society, especially the key members.
When Huang Henkun came here, he realized that Mr. Liang had already arrived. Looking at the slight smile on his lips, he immediately understood that it must be Liang Cunhou's idea to invite him.
This is a bit confusing. Although Huang Huangkun knew that most of the members of the Yuyuan Society had a good impression of the Kun thieves and intended to benefit from their rise, Mr. Liang's attitude was very ambiguous. Huang Huangkun instinctively
I feel that his thoughts are more complicated than those of other club members.
In addition to Mr. Liang, there were several scholars, some of whom I had met in the restaurant, and some who were not present at the banquet. The Shi Xiucai and Wu Ji, who was fond of making shocking remarks, were both present. Lin Zunxiu did the work for them one by one.
Introduction.
After the boy servant offered tea and chatted for a while, Lin Xiucai got down to the topic.
It turns out that these few of them are all scholars who are obsessed with "services". The most interested among them is Mr. Liang who rarely talks about "Australians" outside.
When it comes to his relationship with the Australians, he is probably second only to Gao Zhi in the city of Guangzhou. When Guo Yi organized charity halls and started businesses, the Liang family contributed a lot. Later, the Ming army invaded Lingao, and Liang Liang
The family also secretly protected Guo Yi's local property and personnel in every possible way. Therefore, as soon as Guo Yi returned to Guangzhou, he quietly paid a visit.
However, their interactions are limited to this. The Liang family has been a family of officials for generations, and they are extremely cautious about their interactions with Australians. They do not want to be infected with their colors too much. After all, making friends with overseas people is not only not easy but
It sounds nice, but it's more likely to cause trouble.
Although they kept a distance from each other, Liang Cunhou has always been very interested in everything about Australians. In his opinion, although the influence of Australians in Guangzhou is increasing day by day, and there are many scholars talking about "Australians" and "Kunxue",
Most of them are scratching their heads, and no one really understands Kun Thief.
The Yuyuan Society just gave him a great opportunity to gather his peers and study Australians - because of his status, he was unable to talk openly about "Kun Studies" on weekdays. It was also difficult to collect information about Kun thieves from everywhere. With the Yuyuan Society,
This skin is much easier to handle. Around him, a group of scholars who are obsessed with Kun Studies gathered. They use this place to discuss Kun Studies, collect various "Australian books", and imagine that one day they can hold a "Kun Service" and have a
Make the country rich and the military strong, and support the resurgence of the Ming Dynasty.
Huang Xunkun was secretly shocked. He didn't expect that there was such a group of people in Guangzhou! But judging from their remarks, they were not like the scholars in the restaurant who were eager to "follow the dragon", nor were they as fearful as the officials.
.There is some thought of "worrying about the country and the people".
I am looking for such a talent! Huang Xunkun was secretly happy.
The topic started when Lin Xiucai bought a new Australian book called "Little Knowledge of Physics". They bought this book because they heard that many of the "wonderful things" of Australians are based on it.
In fact, this book is based on a popular science book on physics. It covers the most basic physical knowledge such as mass, interaction of forces, and conservation of energy. There is no practical knowledge. For scholars who have always read poetry and books.
.It’s really a bit difficult.
Because Huang Henkun had read Huang Ping's teaching materials and listened to some of his explanations, he was able to tell the story of Chou Yin Mao. Now he chose what he knew and explained it in detail.
"The study of Kun is indeed difficult," Lin Zunxiu shook his head and said, "It seems that if we really want to establish a Kun service, we must have specialized talents."
"At the beginning, Shopkeeper Li wanted to buy the artillery factory from the Australians and hire craftsmen, but the Australians did not allow it." Shi Xiucai said, "I think this is difficult."
"If he refuses to hire someone, can we send someone to learn from him?" Huang Hankun interjected.
"Go to study?" Several people's eyes widened.
"That's right," Huang Hankun nodded. "Kun is a good teacher, and he runs a school in Lingao. All the people he teaches are Kun people's knowledge. He searches for children from everywhere to enroll - my younger brother once even sent a boy to study as a teacher.
"
"How did you learn?" Liang Cunhou was very concerned. "Have you ever learned how to build cannons and ships?"
"This is the highest level of knowledge in Kun Xue. I have never learned it, but this book," Huang Hankun pointed at "Little Knowledge of Physics" with his fan, "he can understand everything."
"There is such a thing!" Lin Zunxiu was very excited, "I wonder if Brother Huang has any connections? I also want to send a few boys to learn Kun!"
"Brother Lin Xian, don't force others to make things difficult." Liang Cunhou said, "Let's discuss this matter slowly."
Huang Xunkun said quickly: "Australians are very strict in internal and external inspections, and they will not accept any foreign students. However, if you want to find a way, it is not impossible, but..."
"But what? Is it because the tuition fee is expensive? Don't worry about it?"
"It's not a matter of money," Huang Henkun thought of his own Huang Ping, and couldn't help but sigh, "You don't know, Australians are the best at confusing people. If a good child enters their school, it will only take one or two years.
, it’s a ‘fake Kun’. I have also forgotten about my master, my ancestors have faded away, everything about nature and human relations is not a problem, it is all Australian knowledge and Australian rules..."
"You have to look for children who are older, determined and can study."
"Where can you find such a child?" Shi Xiucai said, "Who is willing to send a child who can study to Kun School? If it is an ordinary servant, they are all stupid and ignorant people. If it is what Brother Huang said,
Usually, after going there, you are still confused..."
"It seems this is very difficult."
When it came to Kun Studies, Lin Zunxiu was the most interested and thought he had the deepest research. He began to talk eloquently: "Even if it is difficult, we must find a way to solve it! Kun Studies is a top priority! Since the beginning of Chongzhen, iron ships have gone northward, entered our Qiongzhou, and defeated our Wang division.
, in just three or four years, it was like a country. It built machines, repaired warships, and tempted the people to cross the sea to surrender. The government could not control it! This is indeed a major change in the past three thousand years. China's bows, spears, blunderbuss, and earthen cannons,
We cannot defeat the guns of the Kun people, the boats of China, and the engines and warships of the Kun people, so we are subject to them everywhere. In today's situation, talking about resisting the barbarians, expelling them from the country, etc. is a false theory, that is, trying to maintain a peaceful situation.
Defending the territory without guns, cannons, and ships is also empty talk. Students believe that the way to self-improvement is to learn what they can and seize what they can rely on, so they have to set up schools and offices, set up artillery factories, and build ships.
Fang, most of the Kun people's guns and ships were also made in Qiongzhou. The iron used is our country's iron, and the craftsmen are just exiled people. We can use it to invade our country. If we can understand it deeply.
With this method, we can also build ship cannons like those of the Kun people, and maybe even surpass them. Then we won’t have to worry about killing the Kun thieves!"
Huang Kunkun listened attentively to this grand speech, and was very impressed by his argument of "a major change in three thousand years." This was a deafening cry, but it was a pity that the emperor, the central ministers, the provincial governors, the governors, and the chief envoys
Not hearing this cry, probably no one except an Australian guy really realized the depth of the Kun thief's plan.
"Brother Lin, you used the phrase 'a major change in three thousand years' to summarize today's situation, which is very concise and beautiful. Using this sentence as your purpose, you can write a big article and copy what you just said.
Let everyone in the world be shocked."
"Haha, I wrote this article, and the scholars all over the world haven't scolded me to death." Lin Zunxiu showed a helpless smile on his face, "To say that I am an 'alarmist' is an understatement. To say that I am 'blaspheming the sacred learning', I
But it’s hopeless.”
Liang Cunhou gently slapped his palms with a fan: "Brother Lin Xian is overly concerned. Whether it is learning from Kun, whether it is doing business, or using their good methods and systems, there is one basic point that must always be remembered, that is, it must be based on
I am based on the famous Chinese teachings. I am based on the Chinese famous teachings on ethics and ethics, supplemented by the art of Kun Ren's prosperity."
"Exactly! What Brother Liang said is so good!" Several people clapped their hands in agreement, "It is said that learning is for application and learning is for body. We must learn from the strengths of Australians, and we must not lose the mantle of our ancestors!"
Huang Kunkun thought so, and just as he was about to speak, Shi Xiucai said: "Study Kun, do Kun affairs, not to mention whether we can destroy the Australians, at least we can protect ourselves."
Wu Zheng, a fat man with an image of a fat man, talks about things without any ambiguity, "When the Australians came to Baietan and burned Wuyangyi, our soldiers had no power to fight back. Fortunately, the Australians are good at business and profit, otherwise, I'm afraid,
The city of Guangzhou has long since fallen into their hands!"
Wu Ji sneered: "Isn't it theirs now? I'm not being alarmist. The Australians want this city of Guangzhou with just a little effort."
"Yes, there is a lot of gold and silver in this city of Guangzhou."
"Then why didn't they take it?" Liang Cunhou suddenly asked.
"For business." Wu Ji closed the fan, "It is not difficult for the Australians to take Guangzhou, but once they take Guangzhou, they will not be able to do business with the Ming Dynasty. So what if there are gold mountains and silver seas in the city? What they value is not money!"
Huang Xunkun couldn't help but echoed: "What you said is absolutely true! Although the Kun people say they are good at business and pursue profit, in fact, this is not what they want!"
