"Baopuzi said in "Inner Chapters: Explanation of Stasis": 'Although taking medicine is the basis of longevity, if one can also circulate qi, the benefits will be faster. If one cannot get medicine, but circulates qi and makes full use of its principles, one can also live for hundreds of years. However, it is also necessary to know the art of 椖中. The reason for this is that if one does not know the art of yin and yang, and repeatedly suffers from fatigue, it will be difficult to circulate qi.'"

"This sentence means that Baopuzi believes that taking elixir, circulating qi, and 椖中书法 are the three most precious treasures for longevity and immortality."

Bai Gui quoted classics and said seriously.

...

The next day.

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

"No wonder Baopuzi and Penggu were able to become immortals. They are both immortals with the potential to become immortals, and then through the art of the 椖中书法, they can speed up the power of qi circulation..."

"It is also said in the "Inner Chapters and Micro-Purposes": Taking thousands of medicines and raising three kinds of animals without knowing the art of the 椖中师 is useless."

"Xiuzhu is only at the first stage of the 100-day foundation building now, and there are such benefits..."

He thought to himself.

"Son-in-law, Miss, breakfast is ready."

Outside the door, Aunt Liu shouted.

The two washed up and went downstairs.

The breakfast was much simpler than the celebration banquet yesterday.

But the Bai family is a wealthy family after all, even if it is simple, it is not simple at all.

"Meihe, as long as you come back, Xiuzhu's complexion will be much better."

"You two get along well, and I, as your mother-in-law, am relieved."

"Come back more often when you have time in the future."

Mrs. Bai glanced at Bai Xiuzhu, who had just sat on the dining chair. She was bright and dazzling, like a pearl wiped off the dust, so she said while glancing at Mr. Bai.

She looked so good that even her mother felt envious.

"No, your complexion is not bad, mother-in-law."

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

Mr. Bai, the father-in-law, looked to be in his fifties, while his mother-in-law, who was in her forties, looked to be just in her early thirties.

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

Mrs. Bai smiled with her hands covering her mouth.

"Meihe, yesterday you said that your paper will be published in the October issue of Meiguo History Magazine. I have contacted some old friends last night. When it is published, I will pay for you to buy the headlines of various newspapers and bribe some news commentators. This is not only to create a name for you, but also to avoid certain troubles..."

After eating for a while, Mr. Bai talked about business.

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

He added.

"Father-in-law is thoughtful. I am grateful."

Bai Gui thanked him.

In fact, he and Mr. Bai thought the same thing and considered this point, but he had not had time to implement it.

If a Chinese published a paper in Meiguo History Magazine, it would definitely cause a certain public opinion sensation in Ameiken.

And...because of his Chinese identity, although he could publish successfully because of the connections at Yale University, the outside journalists might not necessarily give Yale University face.

Of course, it is not to say that Yale University does not have this face. But Yale University will not deliberately stand up for him, and will not use the corresponding connections. Yale University only guarantees that Bai Gui can get fairness in a certain atmosphere. No matter how much more, Yale University will not do so.

So..., instead of letting public opinion manipulate you, why not choose to manipulate public opinion? !

Mr. Bai is an old fox and chose a safe method.

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

This is just the worst plan.

If everything develops in a positive direction, Mr. Bai's preparation will not be of much use, but if it deteriorates, it is necessary to prepare in advance.

"You are a family member, don't worry about trivial matters."

"As long as you are good to Xiuzhu."

Mr. Bai smiled.

The money spent on bribing these famous news commentators was not a small amount, but for the sake of his son-in-law's reputation, it was no big deal. Compared to this little money, Bai Gui has earned more by giving him advice during this period.

"Father-in-law is far-sighted and knowledgeable, and I am convinced."

"Come, I will pick up some food for you."

Bai Gui praised.

Mr. Bai was a Jinshi, and he was also a veteran in the officialdom. He was knowledgeable and experienced, and ordinary people could not compare with him.

"Meihe and you really suit my temperament."

Mr. Bai laughed, and the more he looked at this son-in-law, the more he liked him.

Generally, literati have some bad habits, such as being outspoken and swearing, or being arrogant and often making others uncomfortable, but Bai Gui is different. He is very elegant and easy-going, and he doesn't have any bad airs.

...

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

Bai Gui's paper was ranked first.

This piece of news caused a great stir and attracted the attention of many Ameikan newspapers. In the past, academic magazines like this were reported by various newspapers, but they were not very newsworthy and were just routine matters.

But now, an article written by a Chinese was published in the "Ameikan History Magazine", and the gimmick of this matter was immediately different.

Like cats smelling blood, various newspapers immediately worked overtime to put it on the headlines.

What is surprising is that both major newspapers and periodicals such as the New York Times and the Washington Post, as well as some small newspapers and periodicals, have made positive comments about Bai Gui's paper being ranked first 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 the Great Powers" again, Portugal and Spain. articles, he is a prolific scholar..." - The New York Times

"It is a joint honor for Yale University and this young scholar that such a young scholar stands out at Yale University..." - "Washington Post".

But...inevitably, some newspapers deliberately disparaged the paper written by Bai Gui. However, these tabloids quickly disappeared in the sea of ​​smoke from countless newspapers and periodicals.

Although the highest state of expressing public opinion is that both the positive and negative parties are our own people.

However, Bai Gui’s masterpieces such as the Portuguese chapter and the Spanish chapter on the rise of a great power still need a certain amount of time to ferment. Ordinary people are just watching the excitement. How can they understand things in the academic circle? People who specialize in academics , obviously will not be struggling in the vanity fair, so the sensation caused is limited to the fact that "Chinese papers were published in the "Meiguo History Magazine".

However, it is inevitable 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 Guns and Pao is well written, it is only famous in Far Eastern circles because of inherent discrimination.

And when the outside world is noisy.

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

It is similar to writing a book on guns. Some information is not available yet, 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 currently doing is to try his best to fill this framework with flesh and blood.

"Just like Professor James said."

"The research methods of new history are extremely precious. With this method, writing about the rise of great powers is just a matter of time..."

Bai Gui secretly said.

His contribution to history is not only the Rise of Great Powers, but also the research methods of new history.

This is equivalent to establishing his historical status.

He closed the book and walked out of the library.

Shao Qing arrived at Professor James's office.

"Nice to see you again, Mr. Bai. Your research paper application has been approved by the school. Congratulations. If you take the remaining credits, you will have a graduate degree from Yale."

Professor James smiled.

The educational purpose of the Department of History at Yale University is to cultivate historians with both intellectual foundation and professional ability. Bai Gui has undoubtedly met this condition. Since it meets the educational purpose, the remaining credits are just a formality.

The Department of History only recruits twenty to twenty-five graduate students every year, so the amount is scarce.

Therefore, the attention Bai Gui received was unusual.

"Thank you, Professor James."

Bai Gui was not surprised. If the paper that topped the "Journal of Meiguo History" couldn't be used as a graduate thesis, then how difficult would it be to write a graduation thesis at Yale University and become a top historian as soon as it came out? This is impossible.

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

"Of course, if you don't want to teach, that's okay."

Professor James reminded.

"I know something about this."

Bai Gui nodded.

Yale University respects traditional education very much and does not set specific course requirements for students. That is, there are no so-called core courses. It is an easy course selection system. Yale provides students with 80 professional courses and 53 foreign language courses.

Often among these course selections, entry-level courses include small discussion classes hosted by graduate students.

"I was a teacher and taught students when I was in China."

"Teaching small discussion classes..."

"There is still some certainty."

Bai Gui added.

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

Professor James said with satisfaction.

Although Bai Gui can do without teaching, it will inevitably be more troublesome for him as a tutor to write some materials. Now Bai Gui follows the normal procedure, which will undoubtedly save him a lot of energy.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Far Eastern History? I guess there won't be many applicants? As for Western History, there are already several courses offered by graduate students..."

Professor James asked curiously.
