Chapter 764 Similar Flowers
The 11-year-old Newton was a little thin and was riding three wheels with great interest at first. However, after the aristocratic boy behind asked someone to throw two bags of goods into the back of the cart, it became much more difficult.

Fortunately, the noble boy didn't force him to keep riding.

After all, the demo is already there.

This aroused everyone's interest and left a deep impression. When it was about time, the aristocratic young man introduced himself to Newton, and then invited him to sit in the bicycle bucket, and another person rode in front.

Since Newton did him a small favor, he wants to send Newton back to the school where he is currently attending.

"Hawkins? John Hawkins? The Hawkins who was the captain of the squadron that fought against the Armada? So you and your family are planning to sell this kind of car."

"Ha! I like you better, that Hawkins! My great-great-grandfather!"

It is a very obvious hype behavior. Newton can completely see it as long as he is not stupid. Not only is he not stupid, he also figured everything out quickly.

The young man named Marco Hawkins did not intend to hide it, and said with a smile: "This kind of car was most used by farmers, commoners, and some small nobles in the Ming Empire. The big nobles did not bother to use it at all. Similarly, England's Naturally, the great nobles would not and would not bother to use it.

Cars were very popular in the Ming Empire, allowing many farmers and small businessmen to carry a lot of goods without raising livestock. The adults above would definitely pay attention to its role when they saw it, and if we want to sell it, we must first make it. "

When young people interact with each other, they don’t care much about status.

Marco told about his life experience, and Newton didn't mind talking about it, in exchange for Mark telling more stories he knew, about the inside story of his great-great-grandfather's naval battle against the Spanish Armada decades ago, and how they Interesting facts about overseas that this family that rose from the sea knew.

"Are you in Jinges Royal Middle School? Alas, I can only study with other people in the family, and the teachers are also hired by the family. They are either not good or boring. A school in the Ming Empire? I know this! It's in their newspaper There is writing! All people of school age will be forcibly taken to study and literacy, and the school will be responsible for three meals a day for those studying in school."

"Their newspapers are very good-looking. They are very different from our newspapers. They contain not only news about businessmen, but also news from the government and the kingdom that are published on their own initiative. Grandfather said that their officials there are very honest and willing to show it to the common people. to the policy of the Empire”

"Yes, my grandfather bought a lot of newspapers in Guangzhou in the Ming Empire, and asked someone to read the contents to him. He also brought back many newspapers and books. It's a pity that Ming people who can read newspapers and understand Latin are not I would like to be my grandfather’s clerk, but the pictures on the newspaper are also very nice.”

"You want to see it? You have to ask your grandfather about this."

Sitting on a bicycle imported from Daming, naturally the most talked about topic was Daming.

One young man is willing to show off, and the other is full of thirst for knowledge and curiosity.

This conversation seemed to have no end.

Newton stood in front of the home of a local pharmacist where he was currently staying, waving away his new friend, but staring at the back of the bicycle as it left, wondering whether the structure he had fumbled all the way before should be wrong. .

Marco's family knew how big the market for bicycles was, but considering the audience for this thing and the distance between England and the Ming Empire, it was okay to import and sell them at first, but if this business wanted to last long, it had to be self-sufficient. manufacture.

Mark's grandfather originally wanted to obtain technology in Ming Dynasty, but the result obviously failed.

Our Ming Dynasty gentlemen have not been able to seize all the large factories and technologies in the Nanjing Industrial Zone from Wang Chengen and his family of eunuchs. You, a big-nosed red-haired barbarian, want a bicycle?
What bike do you want!

But Newton really wanted one.

But in his little mind, he was not very optimistic about the Hawkins family's business.

England doesn't have such good roads.

It's black and gray, as flat as one, with no cracks in the rocks. I really can't figure out how people made it.

A long conversation not only planted seeds in Newton's heart, but also took root and sprouted into seedlings.Before being called in by the pharmacist to work, Newton reluctantly glanced at the east under the lingering sunshine.

He wants to see it.

And in the fluid world, the waves and turmoil caused by the explosions of the two bombs in the Ming and Qing Dynasties did not only affect him.

It's as if the two strings of fate are really close to each other. Whenever a big invisible hand plucks them, the two strings that are close to each other always emit similar sounds.

In a private library in Leipzig, far away in the Holy Roman Empire, there was also a young boy who was trying to read through the handwritten manuscripts using the Latin he had just begun to learn.

Many people didn't understand, so they frequently asked the young people beside them.

After the young man named Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz read the manuscript, he reached out to others to ask for it.

"Nothing."

"there is none left!?"

Little Leibniz screamed: "Impossible! I can't read in my father's library without you!"

The faces of several young people were suddenly filled with embarrassment.

"These newspapers came from the Netherlands, and the Dutch brought them back from the Ming Dynasty. They are very far away! There are so many because they want to use these newspapers to publish a book."

"I don't care I don't care!"

Eight-year-old Leibniz maintained his dignity and did not roll on the ground because his family always claimed that his family was a noble.

Don't reason with children, coax them if you can.

Several young people still had an idea: "It is true that there are no more, but we can help you find it. If you contact Yapi's family, you can always get some from the Netherlands, but there are really very few Latin ones like this, even in Almost no one in the Netherlands can understand the writing of the Ming Empire.

We can only get you some original copies, and these original newspapers cost money. Most of them are the private collections of Dutch businessmen themselves, just in case you can't read them."

"The original is better! I, I asked my mother to buy it for me!"

The family had a solid foundation, and Leibniz had enough confidence to speak.

Newspapers from the East have a fatal attraction for curious children.

The contents published in the Nanjing Daily Weekly are all kinds of things, including novels, rumors and stories, as well as farce and cases.

If an ordinary child cannot understand, he may not be very interested in these words.

But Leibniz mastered German writing before the age of 12. He taught himself Latin at the age of 12 and began to learn Greek. He entered the University of Leipzig at the age of 14 and completed his studies at the age of 20 and received a doctorate.

"If you can't read, I can learn. There must be someone in the Netherlands who understands the language of the Ming Empire. He wants to continue reading in my father's library! You should also help find him!"
