Li Yu knows Noguchi Hideyo, whose face is still on the 1,000-yen banknote.
This gentleman has made great achievements in the fields of snake venom, syphilis, yellow fever, etc. The Japanese regard him as a hero and the father of bacteriology.
But as a Chinese, when I hear that Japan engages in bacteriology, haha. This man later pioneered the first human experiment by Japanese doctors. A few years later, he injected syphilis into 146 hospital patients for syphilis research.
Hey, of course the Japanese will not mention this. They may also feel that it is very honorable to be able to achieve results.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this tradition and precedent that the inhumane Unit 731 would emerge.
Noguchi Hideyo was surprised by Li Yu's appearance. He walked over and said, "Mr. Tesla and Mr. Li Yu, it's such an honor. I didn't expect to see two top scientific talents today!" Noguchi Hideyo was already well-known in the American medical community. After all, there are still many residents in the western United States who are troubled by venomous snakes, but he has not yet truly become famous. Noguchi Hideyo continued: "Mr. Li Yu, you are the pride of us Orientals." Li Yuyang pretended to smile, Said: "It's just a false name." From now on, it is the Japanese who regard the Chinese the most as the sick man of East Asia.
The Japanese nation is so special that even Japan’s own sociologists cannot fully understand their own national character.
Including Hideyo Noguchi, this person also has a very obvious duality. Rockefeller said to Li Yu: "I found that people in the East are very smart, so I accepted Mr. Noguchi's application to enter Rockefeller University. Coupled with your achievements in science, it strengthened my determination to invest in medical research in the East." This is true. A good thing, Li Yu said: "In Chinese terms, it will leave a mark in history." The Rockefeller Foundation will not support the construction of Union Medical College for more than ten years, but it would be great if it could be done sooner.
Because according to the timeline, the foundation has been in place since 1906. It’s worth following up later.
Neither Li Yu nor Tesla knew much about medicine, so they continued chatting for a while and left without staying here for too long.
They will continue to build several radio sets when they return. When he returned to Fifth Avenue, Li Yu saw a Chinese waiting for him from a distance, and Li Yu recognized him at a glance.
"Hello, Mr. Li Yu! Finally I meet you. My name is Kong Xiangxi."
"Hello, classmate Kong..." Li Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, why was he here. Kong Xiangxi said: "I am currently studying physical and chemical sciences and social sciences at Oberlin University in Ohio. I have always read your writings and admired you very much. I was fortunate to hear that you visited the United States. After several inquiries, I found out where you were staying." Kong Xiangxi was quite polite.
Now he is just an ordinary student, and his family background is not prominent. Li Yu said: "I didn't expect that your major was also physical and chemical sciences." Kong Xiangxi would enter Yale in two years and eventually received a master's degree in physics and chemistry from Yale University.
However, based on the current situation, it is really unbelievable that this person later became one of the four major families and held the financial power of the National Government for more than ten years.
Kong Xiangxi said modestly: "I studied in private schools for many years when I was young, but now that the situation is changing, if you want to be rich and powerful, you can only learn the science of foreigners." The young Kong Xiangxi still has this idea, but he can only say that people will change.
Li Yu said: "It is not easy to come to the United States to study now." Kong Xiangxi said: "So I cherish this opportunity very much. In the future, my ideal is to promote education and revitalize industry!" Kong Xiangxi was helped by several missionaries He came to the United States, but he actually said it himself when he was studying
"Promote education and revitalize careers."
"It would be great if that were the case." Li Yu said. Kong Xiangxi said: "That's how it should be! The most important thing our Confucius family should do is education." Well, since then he has always claimed that he is a Confucius family, and this identity has brought him a lot of benefits.
He even included his name in the Confucius family tree. ——In fact, he spent 1,000 oceans to help the Kong family build their family tree.
After all, the Confucius family has never compiled a family tree since the Qianlong Dynasty. Kong Xiangxi later met Kong Xiangmian, the eldest grandson of the eighth master of the Confucius family, and it was through him that he entered the Confucius family.
Over the past two thousand years, the Confucius family has multiplied too much. The so-called eight mansions are similar to the royal family. After the death of Duke Yansheng, the eldest son will inherit the title of Duke Yansheng and live in the Kongfu.
His younger brothers had no choice but to move out and live in separate houses, forming separate houses. During the Kangxi period, there were too many people in the Confucius family, including 20,000 men alone. No matter how big the Confucius mansion was, they could not accommodate them, so they divided the families and formed sixty large households according to place names.
Kong Xiangxi entered the family after the Kong family split
Among the "Sixty Households"
"Paper House". It sounds a bit like what Liu Bei meant when he said that he was the Queen of King Jing of Zhongshan. However, this was not all about Kong Xiangxi clinging to the Confucius family. At that time, Cai Yuanpei wanted to take back 60% of the Confucius family through law, and the remaining 40% was for the use of the Confucius family.
result
"A powerful man descended from heaven", Kong Xiangxi allowed the Kong family to keep the Kong Mansion intact. Kong Xiangxi was also considered the most promising member of the Kong family during the Republic of China, so the Confucius family and Kong Xiangxi were clinging to each other and taking advantage of each other.
There is no way to talk about this kind of thing. After all, there are too few surnames in China. If you really want to talk about it casually, Li Yu can still say that he is a descendant of the Tang royal family.
Therefore, it was a pleasure for Kong Xiangxi to admit himself into the Confucius family. Li Yu naturally knew in his heart that Kong Xiangxi would fall into the eyes of money in the future. What mattered to boost education or revitalize industry was nothing when it was difficult to make money for the country.
Li Yu just smiled bitterly and said: "I hope you can remember what I said now." Kong Xiangxi vowed: "Of course! This is my ideal!" What a big g.
Kong Xiangxi added: "Also, you are also my idol! For being able to study mathematics and physics to such a level, you are really like a literary star in the sky." Li Yu covered his head, wondering why he had become Kong Xiangxi's idol again, so he had to Changing the topic: "How is your academic performance?" Kong Xiangxi said: "Mathematical and physical sciences are very difficult, and it takes a lot of effort, but I think I can handle it. Can you let me visit your laboratory?" Kong Xiangxi said about himself Purpose of coming: "I saw a lot of reports about you in the newspapers, and you have applied for so many patents recently. It's so fascinating." Li Yu pointed to the laboratory behind him: "It's right here." Kong Xiangxi entered the room. After seeing Li Yu’s patent results, I became more and more a fan of Li Yu.
"Mr. Li Yu, you are such a genius! I must follow your example!" Li Yu said with a smile, "Do you really think so?"
"That's true!" Kong Xiangxi said seriously,
"I have collected all your papers and writings, and I have cut out all the newspaper reports and kept them. If you don't believe me, you can go to my residence in Ohio and read them." Li Yu said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, I I believe it." Kong Xiangxi said: "Although I am already in a Western-style school, your status in my heart is as a saint like my ancestor Yan Shenggong, no, a saint teacher!" This sugar-coated bullet made Li Yu feel very comfortable. He is worthy of being a person who will prosper in both official and business circles in the future.
Fortunately, Li Yu was a time traveler and knew what Kong Xiangxi did later. Li Yu said: "It can only be said that I am also practicing my ideals." Kong Xiangxi immediately followed up: "Your ideals are also my ideals! I will definitely follow your husband's lead in the future." I have to say that this man has really high emotional intelligence. , it’s a pity that it is not used on the right path.
Li Yu said again: "I hope you can do it in the future." Kong Xiangxi promised: "Sir, don't worry, I will always stand by your side unswervingly. After all, you are the teacher in my heart." Li Yu continued to brag. I can't stand his sugar-coated bullets anymore, so stop it now.
"You still have many years to complete your studies. It's too early to say this now." Kong Xiangxi said: "Sir, you are right. Since I have read your papers and writings, I know that my level is too low. In front of you, Just like a drop of water to a river, I plan to continue my studies and improve my knowledge of physical and chemical sciences." Li Yu really didn't expect that a few of his papers would influence Kong Xiangxi, although he would never really engage in science in the future.
Li Yu said: "It is good to read more." Kong Xiangxi said: "I will follow your teacher's teachings. If you have any questions in your studies in the future, please ask your teacher for advice." Li Yu could not refuse him, after all, Kong Xiangxi was just A student, so he replied: "If it is a scientific question, I will definitely answer it in detail." Kong Xiangxi said gratefully: "Thank you sir! In this way, you will not only be my teacher!" After that, Kong Xiangxi really gave me a Li Yu wrote to ask for advice on many physics problems. Of course, they were extremely simple for Li Yu, but they at least benefited Kong Xiangxi a lot when he was studying.
