Chapter 2249: Braid Cutting

Bai Yingyu's character is worrying, but he has one advantage, that is, he is not conservative and accepts new things quickly, so he joined a foreign religion, met Father Rong Huashi, and even pulled Father Rong Huashi during the Boxer turmoil Suddenly, in order to repay Bai Yingyu's kindness, Father Rong Huashi found someone to send Bai Jingwu to study in France.

As for why he, a German priest, sent Bai Jingwu to study in France, the feud of the German Empire, it is not known, but shortly after Shen Long went to Shandong, Bai Jingwu went to France to study, and after all these years, he finally learned. return.

When Shen Long came back, the whole family was hosting a banquet to greet Bai Jingwu. Seeing him coming in, Bai Yingyu stood up and greeted him, "Seventh, come quickly, you can hear about the fifth student studying in France, it's really funny! Fifth, Say it!"

Bai Jingwu was also very happy to see Shen Long, "Lao Qi, I've been waiting for you for a long time, let's have a few drinks in a while... Let me go on, we have a man from Taiwan who has never seen a train before getting off the train. The ship was changed to a train, and when the train rang, he was startled. He said, what kind of monster did the foreigner raise? Some people made fun of him, saying that it was a skyscraper raised by King Tota, so he climbed under the train. Look, someone asked him what do you look at? He said, let me see if it's a male or a female!"

The whole audience burst into laughter, and Bai Jingyi sighed, "Foreigners have evolved into this way, we are doing well here, and we even drive horse-drawn carriages!"

The women's table was chattering about, not knowing what the train was, Bai Yuting asked loudly, "Don't foreigners in foreign countries wear braids?" Jing Wu nodded in agreement.

The women commented, "What will it look like without braids?" Bai Yuting sneaked up behind Jing Wu, took off Jing Wu's hat and fake braids, and shouted, "That's it!" Jing Wu stroked her head With a smirk, everyone leaned forward and back together with laughter.

Shen Long felt that Bai Jingwu's short hair was much more handsome than before, and at the same time he was a little regretful. Hey, you said that it was not the right time for you to study in France. If you go to study abroad in ten or twenty years, then you will Amazing! Well, why don't I send Jingye over in a few years? Let him do what Bai Zhanyuan did first?

Of course, it’s still early, don’t worry, everyone continued to discuss about Bai Jingwu’s braid cutting, most of them said that Bai Jingwu’s braid cutting was outrageous, Shen Long stood up and explained for him, “Actually, it’s fine to cut the braid, Nowadays, many places are clamoring for braids to be cut, and the Ta Kung Pao also held a special call for essays two years ago."

"The first place went to Zhu Zhifu's "Theory of Braid Cutting and Easy Dressing". He advocated cutting braids and making clothes easier. He began to change into suits, and associated cutting braids and changing clothes with martial spirit and physical fitness; "Ta Kung Pao" called it "the special spirit of New China", "awakening the deep dream that has not woken up for more than two hundred years, calling millions The soul of the country that never returns in Fangli."

"There are quite a lot of braids in the new schools and foreign students in the south of the Yangtze River.

Many people had to wear fake braids for the imperial examination, but now that there is no imperial examination, there are even more people who cut their braids. "This year, Yuan Shikai and Zhang Zhidong asked to stop the imperial examination immediately, in order to promote the school, and to learn more practically.

This incident accelerated the demise of the Qing court. The landlord class who studied Confucian classics cut off the most important channel for advancement, and the students trained by the new school were naturally at odds with the decadent Qing court, so they bought it for the Wuchang Uprising in the future. Foreshadowing.

But these are all things for later, the Bai family don't know that the Qing court will be over in a few years, Bai Wenshi is very dissatisfied after hearing Shen Long's words, "What does it look like without braids? What if the court pursues it?"

"The imperial court can't control it at all now. Last year, the military training office planned to imitate foreign countries and change to new military uniforms, but the officers and soldiers could not adapt to the braids, so they followed the Japanese theory of cutting hair and changing clothes. From the army to the newspapers, the new army was formally refitted a while ago. Some officers and soldiers cut their braids off to make it easier to wear their military caps; there are quite a few policemen in Jinmen who cut their braids, and there are countless people in the military, police and academic circles who cut their braids.”

"Even when the five ministers went abroad for inspections, more than half of their entourages had their braids cut, and there were many Hanlin and Taoist priests among them. Even if the court wanted to control it, it couldn't control it!" The control of the country is decreasing, not to mention the period at the beginning of the founding of the country, even if you put it in the Tongzhi period of Xianfeng, if anyone dares to cut their braids casually, it will be a rebellion.

"There are quite a few people who cut braids in my school, and the class teacher and the others didn't see them kicking out the students!" If it wasn't for fear of alarming Bai Wenshi and the others, Shen Long would have wanted to cut the braids a long time ago.

"Lao Qi, I have heard of your reputation in France. Someone came to me with a foreign magazine. I saw it. Isn't this my Lao Qi? After the foreigners in the school found out, they all came to talk to me, especially medical science. Those professors in the college even asked me to bring you a letter! I'll find it out and show you later, and you can return at least two." When talking about the school, Bai Jingwu mentioned another matter.

Over the years, Shen Long has published articles in Nature, The Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, The British Medical Journal, and the Journal of the American Medical Association. With more papers, he can definitely consider competing for an academician, but now, except for a few people, the vast majority of Chinese people don't know about it.

These papers published by Shen Long are either about traditional Chinese medicine or basic medicine. He is not stupid, and he will not directly bring out big killers such as penicillin and sulfonamide. Nowadays, China's scientific development is far behind the West. In the world, if you come up with such scientific research results that can be directly applied, you can only cheap foreign countries.

"It's easy to say, easy to say, I'll write back to them later!" Shen Long nodded and agreed. French medical research should not be underestimated. The Pasteur Institute is well-known in later generations. It is very important to communicate with French medical researchers. Long is not bad either.

"Jingwu is now back from the city of learning. I heard that the imperial court is going to hold an examination for foreign students. As long as you pass, you can get the honor of Jinshi. What's the matter, Jingwu, do you want to give it a try? Our old Bai family has not You have been a Jinshi! If you can win, you will be honored!" Bai Jingyi asked, he often went to the palace to see a doctor, and the news was very well-informed.

"I just came back, let me rest for a while!" Bai Jingwu was a little reluctant, seeing him like this, Shen Long smiled.
