However, although Huang Zhenglan and Huang Zhaolan are called "Young Masters", they are actually in their forties, and Huang Zhaolan is almost sixty years old. After all, Huang Tiren is approaching his seventies now, so his two sons are naturally not young. They are respectfully called "Big Master" and "Second Master" outside. However, Huang Tiren is alive for one day, and they dare not regard themselves as Liu Peng's elders.

But after hearing Huang Zhenglan and Huang Zhaolan's own reports, Liu Peng couldn't help but get up and look at the Huang brothers. He went out with the Huang brothers to greet an old man in black who was about fifty years old. He was extremely demeanor. Although Liu Peng had seen many gentry and officials, none of them could have such a strong demeanor as the old man in black.

Although the age of fifty is not far from the destiny in this time and space, the old man's body looks particularly strong, and his words and deeds are not much different from those of young people, and he looks very human. Liu Peng couldn't help but ask curiously: "My two brothers, who is this Ren Gong?"

The old man's voice was very gentle when he spoke, and there was no hoarse feeling that the old man often had. He directly answered Liu Peng's question: "I'm Jinshan Wei Xu Zixian!"

Liu Peng was shocked and immediately gave the old man a big gift: "It turned out to be Xu Guangqi and Xu Taishi. I have lost my respect, and I have lost my respect!"

After coming to this time and space, this was the first time that Liu Peng met a character in a textbook, but now he met Xu Guangqi, and Liu Peng had a headache.

The textbooks only say that Xu Guangqi was a great scientist and politician in the late Ming Dynasty, but it is rarely said that Xu Guangqi was also one of the earliest and most devout Catholics in China. He was also the most influential among the early Catholics in China, so that he was listed as the "Three Pillar of the Holy Church" by Western missionaries and was also the first person in the "Three Pillar of the Holy Church".

However, since Xu Guangqi was the first generation of believers, his main job in the cabinet was to develop Emperor Chongzhen into a Catholic. Liu Peng felt that the later he had contact with this Xu Taishi, the better. Unexpectedly, he bumped into this Xu Guangqi in the Huang Mansion.

"No need!" Xu Guangqi spoke very gently, but his words obviously also featured the characteristics of the first generation of believers: "Huang Niesi is my teacher, and I have also received the kindness of the teacher to be able to do this today. We are just like the peers. I heard that Mr. Liu also admires Western learning and learning?"

Huang Tiren passed the scholarship in Jinweishan Academy, and Xu Guangqi was also a member of Jinshan Academy, so the two of them had a relationship of master and apprenticeship in teaching and preaching. In the 32nd year of Wanli, when Huang Tiren passed the second grade Jinshi, he was recreated to Xu Guangqi.

At that time, Huang Tiren was a second-level Jinshi, and he had the opportunity and had the opportunity to become a Shujishi in the Hanlin Academy. However, Huang Tiren felt that he was nearly 60 years old. Even after entering the Hanlin Academy and leaving the museum, he was still useless and could not do anything, so he specially gave this opportunity to his favorite disciple Xu Guangqi.

Xu Guangqi only passed the third-level Jinshi back then, and originally had to be released from other positions. It was because of Huang Tiren's recommendation that he could enter the Hanlin Academy to be a Shujishi, and his starting point was naturally more than one level higher than that of the Jinshi in the same year. Therefore, when Liu Peng mentioned Huang Tiren's kindness just now, Xu Guangqi became more intimate towards Liu Peng.

The Huang brothers next to him quickly introduced: "It's a coincidence that Xu Taishi returned to his hometown and the province for leisure. Just in time, Brother Liu came here. Brother Liu, today's Western learning, Xu Taishi can be said to be a true master!"

Liu Peng also smiled and said, "I would like to thank Mr. Xu. Although I am young, I like the most natural knowledge. I have already opened a bookstore at home. Although there are no books written by the Wei, Jin, Song and Yuan dynasties, I am also interested in gathering books from hundreds of schools. I have long been determined to collect more books from Western learning. I was very happy to have given them to Montaichi to treasure scrolls. I have read the books one by one, and I have specially asked people to copy them and save them."

Jiang Qingyue next to him added a few sentences to Liu Peng: "Although my bookstore is not the best in Dengzhou, it is definitely the best in Huang County in terms of the number of books I received. Just when I went to Linqing to buy medical books the last time I went to Linqing to buy hundreds of medical books in one go!"

Xu Guangqi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. The development route of the Catholic Church in the early days was always the upper level. After a Jinshi like Xu Guangqi joined the church, he led the entire Xu clan to join the Catholic Church. Xu Guangqi originally had high hopes for Liu Peng, and felt that since Liu Peng admired Western learning, he would definitely have a favorable impression of Catholicism. Even if he could not become a fellow church member, he could still become a fellow Taoist, which provided great help to the development of Catholicism in Shandong.

Just listening to Liu Peng's tone, the reason why he likes Western learning was that he was just a young man who loved reading and enjoyed extensive knowledge was a little disappointed. However, he also knew that many things were really impatient: "Since Mr. Liu was willing to gather books from hundreds of schools of thought in the world, that was really a beautiful thing! As for Western learning books, please don't worry. As long as the Western learning books I could find in my hand, I will give you another set of them, so as to save Liu Shao from losing them. By the way, I still have a few new volumes of Western learning books from Western Catholics in my hand. I wonder if Mr. Liu is interested?"

He had just heard Liu Peng say that Liu Peng not only read the books he gave to Liu Peng personally, but also sent someone to copy several sets of them. Naturally, he regarded his gift as a treasure, for fear of losing his originality. His status in Chinese Catholicism was transcendent, so it was easy to get a few Western learning books. As for the "new Western learning harvests of Catholic priests", most of them were Catholic missionary books, and only a few were translated technical books.

Liu Peng didn't want to get too involved in this question, but suddenly asked another thing: "By the way, please tell Xu Taishi, I have read this big book of geometry you personally gave me. This book can be said to be excellent, but I naturally cannot enjoy such a good book alone. As the saying goes, "I have to use the golden needle to others." I am also planning to open a small academy in Longkou to teach this geometry, but the original translation of geometry is only six volumes. I wonder when the remaining nine volumes will be translated?"

Even Jiang Qingyue was about to open a small academy in Longkou for the first time, and she was shocked.

However, Jiang Qingyue himself couldn't understand the "Geometric Original" that Liu Peng mentioned. Even a smart person like Gu Mengyu couldn't understand it very much. Only Liu Peng read it through it himself and then came to a conclusion: "In China today, there are indeed not many people who can understand this geometric Original, and not only one of the thousands of scholars is willing to read this geometric Original!"

But Liu Peng didn't say whether she understood or not. Originally, Liu Peng must have not understood Jiang Qingyue's idea. Anyway, after Liu Peng read it once, he put this set of books on the shelf. But she didn't expect that although Liu Peng didn't study the "Geometric Origin", he was planning to teach the "Geometric Origin" in a small academy in Longkou.

Xu Guangqi was also a little embarrassed by Liu Peng's question. Although he had long said that he would translate the complete Geometry Original, it has always been an unfinished building project. Especially since he was busy with his business over the years, the translation of Geometry Original has been shelved.

It was just a little embarrassment but it was endless excitement. Xu Guangqi felt that translating this geometry was originally one of the most wonderful things in his life. In fact, geometry was indeed one of the foundations of modern science, and Xu Guangqi was definitely the mortal enemy of high school students in later generations. Geometry, the science that tortured them to death, was the introduction of Xu Guangqi into China. When talking about Xu Guangqi later generations, they would definitely talk about the original geometry he translated.

However, his voice was rarely understood by the people of the times. Everyone focused on the time and various popular novels. They were not willing to read the Four Books and Five Classics. They read even fewer books of the world. Moreover, this geometry was not even considered a book of the world. In the Ming Dynasty, no one was willing to read it, because when Liu Peng mentioned it, Xu Guangqi felt happy.

"Okay! I will translate the remaining chapters as soon as possible!" Xu Guangqi asked excitedly, "Mr. Liu, do you want me to find you a famous teacher who is proficient in geometry?"

It was a good thing to have a famous teacher who was proficient in geometry, but Liu Peng knew that the famous teacher recommended by Xu Guangqi must be a Catholic. It is not a good thing to let the Catholics enter Longkou now, but it will cause a lot of chaos. Therefore, Liu Peng laughed: "Xu Taishi, you are not worthy enough. I want to train a group of my own private disciples. I will rely on these disciples to make a living in the future. You are fighting with me for food!"

Although Liu Peng did not mention his real age, and he was very mature in his words and affairs. Xu Guangqi and the Huang brothers probably added two or three years old when they were old. However, even so, Liu Peng was only a ten-year-old boy. Such a boy should still be at the age of studying and polite. He said that he wanted to train a group of private disciples to come out, and his tone was naturally crazy.

However, the Huang brothers once heard Huang Tiren's explanation that they could not be used to estimate the young master Liu Peng and Liu. Besides, who is not a little young and reckless at this age, so their brothers immediately took over the topic: "I didn't expect that Young Master Liu would have such ambitions. No wonder my father valued Young Master Liu so much. But Mrs. Liu just mentioned that Young Master Liu and his father had a story of ten thousand gold coins!"

"Yes, there is something happening!" Liu Peng immediately replied: "I came to Songjiang Mansion this time to fulfill this promise. One thousand five hundred dans of new cocoons this year have been shipped to the dock, and I'm waiting for the two brothers to come and pick up the goods!"
