At this time, many Qing people were also confused.
Why were they obviously the ones who started to see the world earlier? Wei Yuan's "Hai Guo Tu Zhi" was regarded as a classic by the Japanese, and some measures of the Westernizationists were also imitated by the Japanese... But why was it that the Qing Dynasty was not as good as the Japanese?
Many people don't understand the relationship between this.
Just like Mr. Zhu.
When leaving, Mr. Zhu asked him: "I am old and slow to learn things, otherwise I would also like to visit the East and know why people in their countries can catch up..."
Bai Gui felt that the book "Guns, Germs, and War" should be able to answer Mr. Zhu's question.
What the Qing Dynasty lacks now is not a copy of "The Great Qin Empire", nor novels such as "Tokugawa Ieyasu" or "Toyotomi Hideyoshi", but a book that can make them wake up.
The content of this book can be summarized very simply: "The history of different nations follows different paths. The reason is the difference in the national environment, not the biological differences of the nations themselves."
So, don’t underestimate yourself!
No need to doubt yourself!
Go, go on!
One day the clouds and mist will clear away and we will see the light again.
…
It’s just that this book cannot be taken out rashly yet.
It is only the early twentieth century, and some archaeological data are simply not available at the moment. There are also some opinions that are based on previous research. This book only exists by standing on the shoulders of giants.
Now that I have taken it out, I can't explain it.
You will also be questioned as to whether the views expressed in this book and the conclusions drawn based on the analysis of historical facts are true?!
Overnight, everyone will be shouting for beating!
become a joke.
Therefore, necessary research still needs to be done, including detailed analysis, deletion, and textual research on the content. Just like when he was in the imperial examination, he could at least have something to say. When reporters and colleagues ask questions, he cannot be confused.
.
Professor Shiraishi was the breakthrough point.
Professor Shiraishi is not only a lecturer at the First High School, but also a lecturer at Tokyo University. He is responsible for studying the history of Japan and has a pretty good status at Tokyo University.
A good high school is like this. It can hire university teachers to teach, not to mention the relationship between the first high school and Dongda. Most people are really not qualified to give lectures in the first high school.
"What do you think, Mr. Bai?"
Professor Shiraishi frowned, a little confused.
"I hope to do research with Mr. Baishi... As the professor asked in class, I have a certain understanding of Chinese historical materials, and Mr. Baishi studies Japanese history, so I want to follow Mr. Baishi..."
Bai Gui spoke quickly.
His intention has been made very obvious, and now it depends on whether Professor Shiraishi is willing to agree.
With Professor Shiraishi as his support, he could enter Tokyo University to read various materials, and he could also use Professor Shiraishi's connections to complete some things. Academic circles are not a product of later generations, but have existed since ancient times...
It is too difficult for just one person to do it.
To put it simply, the lecturers who teach you in college seem to be very considerate, just like ordinary people, and there is nothing special about them. But after graduation, if you do not do well, they will be people you cannot reach.
This is especially obvious in good universities!
The resources and status behind a professor are extremely powerful.
"Oh, it turns out that Mr. Bai wants to do research with me... It's my honor."
Professor Shiraishi looked happy.
In No. 1 High School, there are many students from Dongda University who are teaching under their tutelage and doing research with them. After all, No. 1 High School is a preparatory course for university, preparing for admission to university subjects, and the majors are the same...
It's reasonable and reasonable for them to see each other and have similar interests.
As for Bai Gui, he is now a well-known writer. If he can do research with him, his reputation will also be greatly enhanced.
Who doesn't want to receive a great student.
"Then... I'll ask Mr. Shiraishi to take care of me from now on."
Bai Gui salutes and thanks.
You will be rewarded if you pay!
Anyway, after he was promoted to Tokyo University, he would inevitably do research with a professor. Professor Shiraishi was quite familiar with him and had a decent personality. It would be of great benefit to him to join him...
Confucian Master of Impermanence.
"This is my address in Dongda..."
"Well..., there are also some library card items, Mr. Bai, please keep them."
Professor Baishi took out a lot of things from his briefcase and handed them to Bai Gui one by one.
He just heard that the book Bai Gui planned to write was a study on the customs and cultures of foreign countries, so it was necessary to borrow materials from the University of Tokyo Library. As a writer, it was not difficult for Bai Gui to apply for a library card, but the procedures were undoubtedly
It's quite troublesome. Book resources are extremely precious in this era, so lending Bai Gui a library card is considered a personal favor.
"Thank you, Mr. Shiraishi."
Bai Gui thanked him again.
…
Go back to dorms.
Liu Mingda and the others also looked envious.
"Generally speaking, first-year students will only be appreciated by professors and receive invitations when they are in their second year. Even if first-year students go to the professor, the professor will not accept him..."
"I didn't expect that Brother Meihe would win the battle."
In the first year of preparatory courses, you only learn basic knowledge, and the subject knowledge involved is not profound. But in the second year of preparatory courses, you will selectively cut some public courses and deepen professional courses.
At this time, if there are students with outstanding performance, the professor will also send an invitation letter.
Once you have this invitation letter, it means that you will definitely graduate from the first high school successfully. Even if you fail in some subjects, it doesn't matter, the professor will protect you. It will be much easier in and out of class.
There are so many benefits.
Therefore, there are often some first-year preparatory students who take desperate risks and want to be apprenticed to professors, but they often fail and fail.
"Congratulations to Brother Meihe."
Several people congratulated.
Like them, they can only do it step by step, step by step.
"Minister Wu sent news the day before yesterday that you did well in your studies last semester. He has applied to the school department to promote you as official students. Now there is only one step to go through..."
"Compared to me, Brother Mingda, and Brother Huaixian, you have made greater progress!"
Bai Gui also congratulated.
"Where, where..."
Wu Huaixian and Liu Mingda couldn't help but look complacent.
This time, there are only seven places for self-financed students to transfer to official positions, and there are more than 20 self-financing students. They are among them, which can be regarded as a blessing after all the hardships.
Don’t expect that the odds of a self-financing student transferring to an official position are two to one, but this is only a high!
Liu Mingda and the others were not only compared with their classmates from No. 1 High School, but also with international students from universities in Tokyo and other places in Japan. Among thousands of people, they stood out.
The elimination rate is extremely high!
It also depends on Yigao's good platform and more quotas are allocated.
"But Professor Shiraishi and I will do research in advance and get to know some professors. When the time comes..."
Bai Gui smiled, the meaning was self-evident.
Now the First High School and Dongda University are separated, and he entered Dongda University to do research in advance, which is equivalent to a bridge connection. Isn't it easy to know what some professors do research?
