For a long time to come, the students of the University of London Union were proud to question "Guns, Germs and Steel\

,"This phenomenon has triggered a large number of ideological collisions, resulting in a blowout of scholars in history and sociology.

They have two things in common:

1. Claiming to be Lu Shi's disciple;

Second, claiming to be a believer in modern historiography.

For this reason, Lu Shi was also known as the "father of modern historiography" and became a figure worshiped by historians of later generations.

Of course, these are things for later.

At this moment, Lu Shi is being besieged by a group of young men.

In particular, a Spanish student named Nijati Nikolic took a piece of paper and asked questions one by one, a total of nineteen questions, each of which was quite in-depth.

Lu Shi either couldn't answer these questions, or found them troublesome.

Because there are too many new concepts in "Guns, Germs, and Steel", pulling out a carrot and bringing out mud can easily trigger a chain reaction when explained, and it will be endless.

Lu Shi lowered his hands to signal the students to be quiet,

Then he said: "Everyone, remember what I just said. Don't take the conclusions in my article as the golden rule. The important thing is the interdisciplinary research method. It is much better for you to think more yourself than to be forcefully instilled by me."

Solomon gave Nikolic a hand,

"That's right, don't ask."

Nikolic still had more to say,

"Can……"

Before the words were finished, a voice sounded not far away: "Professor Lu, you mentioned Zhu Yuanzhang just now. What do you really think about him? Do you really think that he may become a ruler who is inclined to ocean trade? ?"

Everyone was stunned,

It's not that there is any objection to this question, but the voice of the questioner sounds quite thin, like a girl.

Looking at the reputation, I saw that the man was tightly covered, wearing a big scarf and even wearing earmuffs.

Even in early December, London shouldn't be that cold.

The students whispered,

"girl?"

"Hiss...it seems to be a girl..."

"Which college?"

...

They were surprised because in 1900 the universities of the University of London Union did not open up the admission of women.

Lu Shi stared at the girl, observed carefully,

Soon, he recognized each other,

It's a margarita!

Unexpectedly, the queen was really kind and sent the princess to college.

"Goo..."

Lu Shi swallowed, and asked, "Student, which college are you from?"

Margarita said: "The London School of Economics and Political Science, I chose this university just because I heard about Professor Lu's name."

Although the mouth was blocked by the scarf and the voice was muffled, it could still be heard clearly.

This time, the students are all sure,

It is indeed a girl!

All eyes were on Margarita.

Lu Shi coughed lightly,

"About the question just now, Zhu Yuanzhang. The rulers of China firmly believe that 'those who do not plan forever will not plan for a moment'. The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang did not dare to open the country indiscriminately was actually influenced by the previous dynasty. Mongolia……"

I can't go on,

Because no one is listening.

Everyone's attention was drawn to Margarita.

Lu Shi looked at Bernard Shaw.

Bernard Shaw shrugged helplessly, and replied with his mouth: "Sir Wodehouse sent it, I can't help it."

The member colleges of the University of London Union operate independently from admissions to funding.

However, in terms of administration, the colleges are controlled by the alliance. Therefore, the honorary headmaster Wodehouse opened his mouth and wanted to send Her Royal Highness the Princess to study political and economics in London. Bernard Shaw really had no position to refuse.

Moreover, as a Fabian, George Bernard Shaw favored incremental reforms,

Seeing that the royal family has become more and more open, it is too late for him to be happy, so how could he refuse?

Lu Shi was quite speechless,

The queen once invited him to be the tutor of the royal family, but he refused, and ended up going around, and became Margarita's teacher,

I don't know if this counts as fate.

Lu Shi cleared his throat,

"Everyone... Dear students!"

The students came back to their senses, and their eyes fell on Lu Shi again.

Lu Shi said: "You all pay attention, you must be a gentleman, and don't act like you have never seen a woman before."

One sentence caused roars of laughter.

Everyone is much more at ease.

Lu Shi said, "What? Don't you support women studying in universities?"

Looking at it in modern times, this question is simply a joke.

But in 1900, it was really a social focus where all members participated in the discussion.

Especially in the conservative UK, the two parties have wrestled at almost all levels because of women's right to vote and be elected, and women's right to go to university is naturally the top priority.

Someone asked in a low voice: "Professor Lu, do you support it?"

Lu Shi has already received a certain degree of recognition among the London elite and can express his views appropriately,

However, some particularly sensitive topics should be cautious.

Lu Shi pondered for a moment,

"I believe many people know about the admission of female students at the University of Paris. But you probably don't know that there is even a precedent for women teaching in Paris."

Not to mention the students, even George Bernard Shaw didn't know about it.

He asked curiously, "Which school?"

Lu Shi let out a "hmm\

,""Just in March of this year, the Séfort Women's Higher Normal School in southwest Paris opened a science-physics, and its lecturer is a Polish woman, Maria Sklodowska Curie."

It is normal for women's normal schools to have female teachers,

But if the subject is physics, it's not just for fun.

Everyone was silent.

In the crowd, Margarita couldn't help clenching her lips behind the scarf,

She really wanted to remind Lu Shi that he hadn't answered the question just now, whether he supported or not his attitude towards women going to college.

But finally held back,

It was thanks to Lu Shi that she was able to come to London to study politics and economics, and she couldn't cause trouble for Lu Shi anymore.

As a result, Lu Shi actually changed the subject by himself: "Our support or opposition is not important about the matter of women's education."

Some people are puzzled,

"What does it mean?"

Lu Shi smiled,

"The female lecturer I just mentioned is not an ordinary person. She has a paper, "On Pitchblende Containing a New Substance with High Radioactivity". In the paper, she explained the discovery process of the new element No. 88 , and named it radium. I believe she will soon be awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for her work on radioactivity."

Most of the people present were liberal arts students,

They have no idea about radioactivity and radium,

But the Nobel Prize is different.

"Women Win Nobel Prizes?"

"Professor Lu is really whimsical..."

"Maybe it's true?"

"impossible!"

...

The students generally disagree with Lu Shi's statement.

Lu Shi waved his hand,

"It's okay, let's reserve our opinions with each other and wait and see."

Then, he continued the topic: "I cite the example of Madame Curie. What I want to express is actually very simple. If one thing can develop productivity, then no matter how we support or oppose it, it is meaningless."

Someone asked: "Professor Lu means that women's university can liberate productivity?"

Lu Shi laughed loudly,

"That's what you said, I didn't say anything."

Slick!

The students couldn't help but label Lu Shi like this.

But the amazing thing is that they didn't dislike Lu Shi's slickness at all, instead they thought it was a show of wit.

The so-called "love someone, you must love all of him\

,"They have been convinced by Lu Shi.

Continue to recommend tonight, I hope you will support me a lot.

Thank you.
