The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 281 Small Discussion Class for Graduate Students (Full Order)

"Baopuzi said in "Inner Chapter Shizhi": "Although taking medicine is the foundation of longevity, if you can also move qi, you will benefit quickly. Hundreds of years old. However, it is necessary to know the art of yin and yang. Therefore, if you do not know the art of yin and yang, you will be injured repeatedly, and it will be difficult to move qi.'”

"The meaning of this sentence is that Baopuzi believes that the three treasures of eating alchemy, promoting qi, and guzhong are the three treasures of immortality."

Bai Gui quoted scriptures and said solemnly.

……

The next day.

Bai Gui felt that his three treasures of energy and spirit had replenished a lot.

"It's no wonder that Baopuzi and Peng Gu were able to achieve Taoism and become immortals. Both of them are immortals with the potential to become immortals and attain Taoism. Then, they can speed up their qi circulation through the Chuzhong Technique..."

"It is also said in the "Nei Pian Wei Zhi": Anyone who takes thousands of kinds of medicine and raises three animals does not know the art of cutting, and it is useless."

"Xiuzhu is only the first level of foundation building in [-] days, so there are such benefits..."

He secretly thought.

"Grandpa, miss, breakfast is ready."

Outside the door, Mother Liu shouted.

The two washed up and went down the stairs.

The breakfast was much simpler than yesterday's celebration banquet.

But after all, the White Mansion is a wealthy businessman's family, even if it is simple, it is not so simple.

"Meihe, as soon as you come back, Xiuzhu's complexion will improve a lot."

"You husband and wife get along well, and I, a mother-in-law, can rest assured."

"If you have time in the future, come back a few more times."

Mrs. Bai took a look at Bai Xiuzhu who had just sat on the dining chair. She was dazzling, as if she had wiped away the dust, so she gave Master Bai a sideways glance and said.

This complexion is so good that even a mother like her feels envious.

"What's the matter, mother-in-law, you look good too."

Bai Gui glanced at his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and silently ate a mouthful of glutinous rice chicken.

The father-in-law, Master Bai, looks to be in his 50s, while the mother-in-law, who is in her 40s, looks to be in her early thirties.

"Look what Meihe said, mother-in-law is getting old."

Madam Bai covered her mouth and smiled.

"Meihe, yesterday you said that your thesis would be published in the "Journal of Meiguo History" in October. I contacted some old friends last night. When it is published, I will pay for you to buy news headlines and bribes from various newspapers. Some news commentators, not only to make a name for you, but also to avoid certain troubles..."

After eating for a while, Master Bai talked about the business.

"After all, the situation of the Chinese in Ameikan is not very good, so try to avoid it as much as possible."

He added.

"My father-in-law is thoughtful, and my son-in-law is very grateful."

Bai Gui thanked him.

In fact, he and Master Bai wanted to go together, and he had thought about it, but he hadn't had time to implement it yet.

If a Chinese published a paper in the "Journal of Meiguo History", it would definitely cause a certain sensation in Ameiken.

And... because of his Chinese identity, even though the publication was successful due to his contacts at Yale University, outside journalists may not sell Yale University's face.

Of course, it's not that Yale University doesn't have this face.But Yale University will not deliberately stand up for him, and will not use the corresponding contacts. Yale University only guarantees that Bai Gui can get fairness in a certain atmosphere. No matter how much, Yale University will not do this.

So... instead of letting public opinion manipulate you, why not choose to manipulate public opinion? !
Master Bai is an old fox, he chose a safe method.

That is to buy some well-known news commentators and some newspapers to create a positive public opinion for Bai Gui. When the negative public opinion comes, there is already a certain moat, which will not lead to a one-sided situation.

It's just planning for the worst.

If everything is developing positively, Master Bai's preparations will not be of much use, but if things get worse, it is necessary to prepare in advance.

"You are my own family, you don't need to worry about little things."

"As long as you treat Xiuzhu well."

Master Bai smiled.

The money to buy these famous news commentators is not a small amount, but for the sake of his uncle's reputation, it is not a big deal. Compared with this amount of money, Bai Gui made more money by advising him during this time.

"My father-in-law is far-sighted, he sees and hears, and my son-in-law is convinced."

"Come, my son-in-law will bring you food."

Bai Gui praised.

Master Bai was born as a Jinshi, and was once a veteran in the officialdom. He is well-informed and knowledgeable, and ordinary people really can't compare him.

"Mei and you really suit my temperament."

Master Bai laughed out loud, the more he looked at this son-in-law the more pleasing to his eyes.

Ordinary literati more or less have some stink problems, such as being outspoken and fond of swearing, such as being aloof and arrogant, often making others feel uncomfortable, but Bai Gui is different, very elegant and easy-going, without any stinky airs.

……

About half a month later, the "Meiguo History Magazine" released its October issue.

Bai Gui's paper was ranked first.

This news stirred up a thousand waves, and attracted the attention of many newspapers and magazines in Ameiken.In the past, academic magazines like this, although various newspapers and magazines would report on it for their face, but the news was not very good, it was just a routine.

But now that an article written by a Chinese is published in the "Meiguo History Magazine", the gimmick of this matter is immediately different.

All news newspapers, like a cat smelling fishy smell, immediately worked overtime to put it on the headlines.

Surprisingly, whether it is the "New York Times", "Washington Post", or some small newspapers, they all made positive comments on Bai Gui's paper's topping in the "Journal of Meiguo History" , extremely "fair" and "objective".

"Mr Bai, he is a famous scholar in China. He created "Guns, Germs, and Steel" in Japan and enjoyed a great reputation in the Far East. Now he studied at Yale and wrote "The Rise of Great Powers" again in Portugal and Spain. article, he was a prolific scholar..." - The New York Times

"It is a joint honor for Yale and this young scholar to have such a young scholar stand out at Yale..." - The Washington Post.

But... Inevitably, some newspapers deliberately belittled the thesis written by Bai Gui.But these tabloids were quickly lost in the sea of ​​countless newspapers and periodicals, without a trace.

Although it is said that the highest state of exercising public opinion is that both positive and negative parties are their own people.

However, it will take a certain amount of time for Bai Gui to write masterpieces such as Portugal and Spain on the Rise of Great Powers. The general public just watches a scene, so how can they understand the affairs of the academic circle? , obviously not in Vanity Fair, so the sensation caused was only limited to the fact that "Chinese papers were published in the "Journal of Meiguo History".

However, it is unavoidable that through the "Journal of Meiguo History", the whole world began to pay attention to this young scholar again, and was willing to read the articles written by this young scholar.

Although the writing of guns and guns is good, but because of the inherent discrimination, it is only famous in the Far East circles.

And when the outside world is in full swing.

Bai Gui is still studying silently in the library, consulting recent first-hand materials, and working hard to complete the next part of the rise of great powers.

It is similar to writing a book on guns and guns. Some materials are not available now, and some research conclusions have not yet been drawn.

Therefore, the rise of great powers in later generations only provided him with a general framework. What he is doing now is to fill this framework with flesh and blood as much as possible.

"Just as Professor James said."

"The research method of new historiography is very precious. With this method, writing about the rise of great powers is just a matter of time..."

Bai Gui secretly thought.

His contribution to historiography is not only the rise of a great power, but also the research method of new historiography.

This is equivalent to establishing his historical status.

He closed the book and walked out of the reading room.

After a while, I arrived at Professor James' office.

"Nice to meet you again, Mr Bai, your research paper application has been approved by the school, congratulations, if you complete the remaining credits, you will be able to have a graduate degree from Yale."

Professor James laughed.

The educational purpose of the Department of History at Yale University is to cultivate historians who are both intellectually grounded and professionally competent.This condition is undoubtedly met by Bai Gui. Since it meets the purpose of education, the remaining credits are just a formality.

The Department of History only recruits 25 to [-] graduate students each year, which is a scarce number.

Therefore, the attention Bai Gui received was unusual.

"Thank you, Professor James."

Bai Gui was not surprised. If even the thesis that reached the top of the "Journal of Meiguo History" could not be used as a graduate thesis, then how difficult would it be for Yale University's graduation thesis to be a top historian?This is impossible.

"Oh, by the way, Mr Bai, as a graduate student who is about to graduate, as a rule, you have to give several lectures to undergraduates. These courses also have credits, so you can graduate early."

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to teach."

Professor James reminded.

"I know a little about that."

Bai Gui nodded.

Yale University respects traditional education very much, and does not set specific course requirements for students, that is, there is no so-called core course, and it is an easy course selection system.Yale provides students with 53 professional courses and [-] foreign language courses.

And often among these elective courses, entry-level courses have small discussion classes hosted by graduate students.

"When I was in Huaxia, I was a teacher and taught students."

"Teaching mini-discussion classes..."

"There is still a certain degree of certainty."

Bai Gui added.

"If you are certain, as a tutor, I can apply for you at the Academic Affairs Office and arrange a small discussion class for you."

Professor James said with satisfaction.

Although it's okay for Bai Gui not to teach, but as a tutor, it will inevitably be more troublesome for him to write some materials.Now that Bai Gui followed the normal procedure, it would undoubtedly save him a lot of energy.

"What do you mean to talk about?"

"History of the Far East? It is estimated that the number of applicants will not be many? For Western history, there are already several courses offered by graduate students..."

Professor James asked curiously.

　There are more than 200 monthly tickets left, so there are only [-] monthly tickets.

　　Everyone who has a monthly ticket to vote.

　　Thank you! ! !
