[Chapter Word Count:3308 Last Updated:2014-09-1708:21:33.0]

Shi Dakai had never been so shocked in his life, even if he broke through Tianjing City back then, he was not so excited. The thin pages in his hand were now like the weight of a daughter's burden, and he couldn't lift it in his hand.

I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that the book Xiao Lotian wanted to write would be ...... It's so ...... Straightforward, white made Shi Dakai unbearable to look at directly.

"In the sixteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, in the far west, in Portugal, a weak country in the southwest of the Europa continent, there was a prince named Prince Enrique, who sent a fleet to make his first voyage, and discovered the island of Santos in the Madex Islands that year, and then discovered the island of Madeira the following year. Later, his fleet discovered the islands of the Azores, thus beginning the Age of Discovery in Europe......"

The articles written by Xiao Letian have exceeded the limits of Shi Dakai's imagination, there are no ancient texts, no poems, and no neat couplets, some are only straightforward, just like a big man at the port wharf is telling you overseas legends.

But Shi Dakai knew that what he saw was not a legend at all, but a real history, and the military advisor Xiao Letian had repeatedly assured that the story here might be biased in some numbers, but it was definitely true.

What's more, how can you not put down such a white article? You have to read it in one sitting to enjoy it.

The beginning of the article begins with the expedition of Prince Enrique in the sixteenth year of Yongle, and vividly portrays the desire of Europeans for oriental porcelain, spices, and silk at that time.

The article is structured as a chapter hui novel, and begins to show Chinese a completely different Western world. Europe before the Great Discoveries was a terrible Middle Ages, with poor people, backward countries, and extremely low educational programs. At that time, China was regarded as a country of gold by Europeans.

With Xiao Letian's pen, Shi Dakai seemed to have experienced a journey through time and space, and he knew that just when Prince Enrique was desperately exploring the west coast of Africa, the fleet of the Ming Dynasty had begun to march towards the east coast of Africa. At that time, China's seafaring technology was much more prosperous than that of the West.

When the Portuguese reached their peak of seafaring, the Spaniards began to rise, and in 1492, the fifth year of the Hongzhi of the Ming Dynasty, that is, in the year of the Western calendar, the Italian Columbus began to explore the Atlantic Ocean with the support of the Spaniards, and finally discovered the New World, which is now the United States.

Then came Magellan's great adventure around the world that began in the fourteenth year of Ming Zhengde, and it was with Magellan's efforts that Europeans finally understood that the earth was really a sphere, and that the area of the ocean was much larger than that of the land.

In these stories, Xiao Letian does not use blind preaching, and in the article, he also intersperses many grievances and entanglements between European countries, and even some wild historical anecdotes. The politics, economy, and culture of the whole of Europe at that time were introduced in detail.

Three thousand words in a chapter, each chapter is composed of several stories, and at the end Xiao Lotian will leave a burden, and he will definitely not unravel it until the next chapter. Several times Shi Dakai saw the words 'If you want to know what will happen next, please listen to the next decomposition', he slapped the table angrily and glared at him, eager to pick up Xiao Letian's head and read the story in advance.

But every time he saw Xiao Lotian writing hard in front of the window, he couldn't say the words in his stomach anymore.

What are the Western countries, and what is their origin, development, and current fate? These knowledge are all recorded in Xiao Letian's book. Which European countries are strong, which are weak, where are the reasons for the strong, and what is the situation of the weak, Xiao Letian said in the book is even clearer and more organized.

Shi Dakai sometimes wants to ghostwrite for Xiao Letian, he thinks that such a shocking book, if it is not written in noble Chinese, it is simply a crime. But Xiao Letian stuffed his thoughts back with a word.

Since we know that there are many illiterate people, it proves that the most powerful force exists among the people, and if we want China to be strong, we must let the people at the bottom awaken, and knowledge should not only be ......transferred in the literati's study."

After listening to Xiao Letian's words, Shi Dakai burst into tears. Compassion and compassion, the mind of the military advisor is so broad, he can actually think of hundreds of millions of illiterate people, just this kind of mind is already superior.

How does Shi Dakai know, Xiao Letian doesn't know ancient Chinese at all, except for reciting a few ancient poems of 'bright moonlight in front of the bed and two pairs of shoes on the ground', he can't even write well with a brush, and he looks like a newly enlightened child.

Shi Dakai now completely believes that Xiao Letian is an overseas lonely guest, in order to make it more convenient for Xiao Letian to write articles, Yiwang actually used the dark line in the Beijing Division, and used gold ingots to buy pens, ink, and even pocket watches, toothbrushes, glass mirrors and other valuable Western goods for the military master in the foreigner's shop in Dongjiaomin Lane. Just such a small package of foreign goods, it actually cost a full ten taels of gold.

When Xiao Lotian saw the package of foreign goods, he was in a good mood and actually told the soldiers in the cottage a story, and the content was the story he wrote. Unexpectedly, the first lecture was exchanged for a full house, and the soldiers at the bottom listened to the stories of the overseas world as if they were listening to Journey to the West, and they were more excited than the New Year.

Xiao Letian spoke for a total of three days, and he couldn't stand the enthusiasm of the soldiers, and as soon as it was time for them to hold the lamp after dinner, they gathered outside Xiao Letian's wooden house with stools, and looked at Xiao Letian with extremely eager eyes. At that moment, Xiao Lotian felt like a crime if he didn't tell two chapters.

Since that day, Xiao Lotian has become a part-time storyteller in the cottage, and has contributed to the amateur cultural life of the Taibaiding bandits' den.

It wasn't until more than half a month later, when Yamashita brought Xiao Letian the latest information, Xiao Letian had no choice but to stop commenting on the books he had to talk about every day, and he shamefully broke off.

"Lord Wang, I have to go down the mountain immediately, now that the shopkeeper of the caravan is in trouble, I can't stand idly by?" Xiao Letian said nervously.

"Don't worry, I already know what the military advisor said, isn't it just the trouble of 110,000 silver? Their Fan family doesn't care at all, the head of the eight dignified Jin merchants, if the 110,000 silver can't be compensated, then it's really embarrassing......" Shi Dakai didn't know Xiao Letian's plan at all, and still drank tea with a relaxed face.

"Oh, my lord, shopkeeper Fan is a very important part of my plan, without his help, my plans would not be able to be carried out at all, now is the time to show favor to him, whether we can hold the old shopkeeper in our hands, it depends on this ......" Xiao Le's weather was full of room.

Originally, Xiao Letian didn't know about the crisis faced by the old shopkeeper, so he just found time to write two private letters, one for the shopkeeper Fan, and the other for Pastor Lewis in pure English.

When the Taiping Army in Yixian County gave the letter to Lewis, it didn't even arrive for an hour, and this foreigner who was taking pictures all over the world didn't even say goodbye to the shopkeeper Fan, and rode on a fast horse and went straight to Beijing City with Saimen, it seems that the content of the letter is definitely urgent.

After the messenger finished delivering the letter to the Americans, he turned around and went to the Fanjia Guangde cargo station to find the old shopkeeper, but he did not expect to know that the old shopkeeper was bedridden because of the wind and cold in the mountains. When Shopkeeper Fan read Xiao Letian's private message, the old man actually struggled to get up, and finally Hu Niu persuaded him to get down.

"The little one only understood the ins and outs of the matter from the mouth of Miss Fan, and now the shopkeeper Fan has been forced to death by his brother, the head of the Fan family. Miss Fan has nothing to do, so let me bring a message to the military advisor, she said that your great kindness to them may not be repaid in this life...... Just, just wait for the next life to repay it......"

Damn, Xiao Lotian was fried at that time, the first girl soaked in Lao Tzu after crossing, someone actually wanted to harm her? This is forced to the point of dying or living? If I don't come out, am I still a man?

"Lord Wang, whether you agree or not, I have to go down the mountain, either you hack me to death, or send someone to protect me down the mountain, there is no second way......"

Shi Dakai looked at Xiao Letian, who was full of righteous indignation, and suddenly became very angry, he slammed the table and stood up: "Sir, what are you talking about, since you are already our military advisor, you enjoy a qiē freedom, how can I stop you? Who do you think of us? Could it be that in your eyes, we are indiscriminate bandits?"

Xiao Letian blushed when he heard this, but Shi Dakai didn't say anything else, "If Mr. wants to go down the mountain, then he has to make all the arrangements, how to enter the city? How to lurk in the Guangde? Why not to alarm the government? This must be prepared in advance, you can rest assured that I will have one night's time, and I will arrange it for you......."

Shi Dakai's honest gaze won Xiao Letian's trust, and after a sleepless night, when Xiao Letian pushed open the door the next morning, he found that there were more than 20 silver boxes in the courtyard in front of the door, and the soldiers were loading them on the back of the horse, and the gray-bearded General Liu Lang was helping beside him.

"General, what are you doing here?" Xiao Letian asked puzzled.

"The prince said, since Shopkeeper Fan is of great use in your plan, then you can't be stingy, you should focus on grace, isn't it the difficulty of 110,000 silver......?

Xiao Letian smiled bitterly, "Oh, my lord, silver is a good thing, how can you give it away, not only don't give it to me, but also collect it in the cottage, stop it first, don't pretend, ......put it down," After speaking, Xiao Lotian went directly to Shi Dakai.

"Lord, open the holy treasury, let's send gold, jade, pearl and agate, but we can't send silver, the future of the cottage business can be on this pile of silver......"

Shi Da stared at Xiao Letian in confusion, but when he saw Xiao Letian's stern expression, he knew that this was definitely not a joke, it seemed that the military advisor already had a detailed plan in his heart.

"Sir, can you give Xiao Wang a thorough understanding first?" The good guy Shi Dakai even shouted out to Xiao Wang, because he knew that this was Xiao Letian's first offer, and an excitement that came out of his heart made him tremble inexplicably.

"Let's go, let's go to the Holy Treasury first, you can pick whatever military advisor you need......"
