Chapter 41 Matteo Ricci is gone

My uncle whispered to Wang Hongyu: "Your Majesty is very fond of this self-ringing bell. If you make any mistake, I'm afraid there will be a big disaster."

Wang Hongyu smiled and said: "Haha, uncle, don't worry, I have a solution for this matter."

"Okay..." Liu Shimin was very worried, but this powerful nephew was indeed a god, and now he could only support him silently.

Liu Shimin said to the royal guards who came out: "The king is responsible for repairing your majesty's treasure. You can follow the call as needed."

"yes!"

Wang Hongyu made some arrangements and agreed on a few places with the Jin Yiwei, and would ask for their support when needed.

Walking to the courtyard inside Dongzhimen, Li Tiezhu, who is nearly 1.8 meters tall and weighs less than 260, but still has a baby face, has been waiting there early.

"Zhang Sheng, why did you come back so late? We were worried that we wouldn't have the haggis, braised braised liver, and fried liver to eat, but we were anxious..."

Meng Biao pinched him and persuaded him in a low voice: Don't be so honest about everything and tell him all your inner thoughts.

"Oh oh oh, let's not tell you everything... We are worried about not getting sesame cakes, donkey rolling and dead bread, but we are anxious..."

Meng Biao fell face down with a "bang" and was too embarrassed to look at anyone.

"Brother Meng, why is this happening? Don't my children just want to eat something delicious?"

Meng Biao said with a sad face: "This child is so good at eating, our pocket money will be exhausted in one day..."

"Oh~ what do you think this is?"

"Silver! So much!" Three hundred taels of silver packed into a big bag. If Wang Hongyu hadn't been strong and strong, he would have been exhausted.

"There are only exhausted cows and no damaged fields ~ so we should make up for it!"

The hungry Wang Hongyu ate and drank again in the future Guijie Street. There were gradually fewer people around. Meng Biao's eyes suddenly condensed: "There are four groups of people observing us, and at least three groups of people are not good."

Of course Wang Hongyu also noticed it, so he ate and drank to make the other party relax their vigilance and even expose him.

If he rushes to do something as soon as he comes out of the palace, he may be seen through by others and it will be inconvenient for him to make friends with anyone.

Haste makes waste, as the saying goes.

"Where is Qin Lingren?"

Li Tiezhu said with regret on his face: "Is that the beautiful Miao sister with long legs? After the Jin Yiwei took the poor female assassin away, news came again that Sichuan Bing was fine, and she walked away leaving a beautiful figure in the sunset

Already."

Good guy, my little cousin is quite good at aesthetics.

Wang Hongyu asked again: "When I went to the Meridian Gate, did anyone come to cause trouble?"

Meng Biao replied: "Yes, the censor of the city and the patrol of Shuntian wanted to break in and arrest a dozen of our Sichuan soldiers. But once they were frightened, no one dared to move."

The Zhejiang Party is rushing in front, but the other guys can still keep their composure... then let's play them to death~

The warm smile appeared again, which meant that those guys were going to suffer.

When Li Tiezhu saw his cousin's expression, he thought of the way he had beaten the female assassin's face into obscurity with a hammer. He trembled with fright and quickly gnawed on his big elbow.



Early the next morning, Wang Hongyu took Li Tiezhu, had a simple breakfast, and went straight to the grocery market.

There were many people coming to buy pots, pans, and bamboo mops at the grocery market. Li Tiezhu was happy to see them.

"Cousin, will we call the capital our home from now on?"

"Making Beijing your home? I've always thought about it decades ago, but if I work hard all my life, I can't even afford to live in the basement of Beijing..." This brought back many memories for Wang Hongyu.

"What can't you afford to live in? You bring back that glorious thing in the evening, slam it on the ground, and we'll have food and shelter..."

Well, I will never be a slave, unless I have food and shelter.

The capital city is all about convenience. In a short time, I bought a batch of large and small clips for taking medicine from the pharmacy, as well as small clips for making tea. In addition, I also bought many fine brushes and dozens of pieces of white paper, which will be used when disassembling the chiming clock.

Play an important role.

At that time, the self-ringing clock must be disassembled. Every time a part is disassembled, make a simple drawing and clearly record the sequence and position of each component disassembly.

A fine brush can be used to clean small parts. Try to use medicine or tea clips to pick up parts instead of using your hands.

This job is handed over to Li Tiezhu, who has been engaged in handicrafts for many years, but can he do it?

Of course, this requires the next step, which is to dismantle other self-ringing clocks a dozen times.

Xu Guangqi, here we come~



It just so happened that Xu Guangqigang was still worried about Wang Hongyu.

I never expected that I would be remembered.

"Sir, two young men came outside and said that you told them that they could come and visit at any time."

The housekeeper interrupted Xu Guangqi's thoughts and looked up at the chiming clock from Italy given to him by his late friend Matteo Ricci. The hands were now pointing to the Roman numeral vii... which was close to the hour.

He personally welcomed Wang Hongyu and Li Tiezhu in, and brought them to the table when they arrived in the lobby.

Wang Hongyu glanced at the room and found that it was filled with all kinds of books. There was also a world map spread on the table with many circles drawn on it.

Wang Hongyu took a closer look and saw that this was a scaled-down copy of the "Comprehensive Map of Kunyu and All Nations". Except for Oceania, which had not yet been discovered, there were no major errors in other places.

Seeing him paying attention to the map, Xu Guangqi sighed in his heart that this man's knowledge of the world was indeed remarkable.

Thinking that I am over 50 years old, I have to admit that my future life is scary.

He has cooperated with Matteo Ricci for many years, becoming a disciple, learning skills, writing books, and making cannons... Many things in the world interact with each other, which makes it very interesting. Not only the spread of Western learning to the east, but also Chinese philosophy, traditional Chinese medicine, and craftsmanship

and inclusion are also expanding their influence in Europe.

But as the enlightened Matteo Ricci passed away and the more stubborn and conservative Long Huamin took over, the road gradually became narrower, and even Wanli even nominally expelled people.

I am over 50 years old...

I don’t know whether Long Huamin was as powerful as Matteo Ricci in academics, but the science and knowledge he told everyone was much less than the former.

I understand geometry, but who will understand mechanics? I understand astronomy and calendar, but who will understand world geography and history? I know many crops and new tools, but who will master and use them?

There is no more Matteo Ricci in the world, just like there is no Zhang Juzheng in the world... That glorious stage is so short, is it about to end?

Finally Wang Hongyu appeared, making him feel like he was seeing stars in the dark night.

Xu Guangqi is always thinking. He used to sigh a lot, but now he finally has a young junior like Wang Hongyu who knows a lot.

"Ding dong ~ ding dong ~"

The self-ringing bell that Matteo Ricci gave to Xu Guangqi in an inconspicuous place rang. Wang Hongyu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly discovered the experimental subject~

"Cousin, this thing doesn't look as good as the one you brought back, but it doesn't feel bad either..."

Li Tiezhu faintly took out a small hammer, an iron awl and a small clamp.
