"It's... This game is a loss for us. ”

Hearing Liu Jin's answer, Tong Yuan was stunned, and then very readily admitted that he had lost this game, and he thought it was difficult to Jiugongge, but he didn't expect the other party to report the answer all at once.

"That's how it is~"

The young man who was constantly calculating on the side heard Liu Jin's words, and quickly calculated, and soon felt relieved, and his eyes lit up.

The other diners on the second floor silently calculated in their hearts, and suddenly they all looked relieved, knowing the answer is not difficult, if you don't know the answer, it is difficult to calculate.

"What's the second game for?"

Huang Jinquan looked at his two companions, this was an unfavorable start, he lost the first game, and if he lost the second game again, the three of them would kneel down directly in front of everyone to apprentice.

"We can't afford to lose this second game."

Huang Jinquan said to the two very firmly, and Tong Yuan and Lin Shuhong also nodded slightly.

"When it comes to governing the country and leveling the world, it is natural to have an understanding of the world and the country, otherwise how to govern the country and level the world."

Liu Jin smiled, thought about it and said slowly.

"This second competition is about the world and the country, do you have no opinion?"

"Yes~"

Huang Jinquan and the other two friends looked at each other, nodded slightly, and agreed.

This classic sentence of self-cultivation and Qi family governing the country and leveling the world is from "The Book of Rites • University": Those who want to be clear and virtuous in the world will rule the country first; Those who want to rule their country must first gather their families; Those who want to gather their families must first cultivate their bodies;

Those who want to cultivate their bodies must first correct their hearts; Those who want to correct their hearts must first be sincere; If you want to be sincere, you must first know it, and you will know it in Gewu. Character and then know, know and then sincerity, sincerity and then heart, heart and then body cultivation, body cultivation and then family Qi, family Qi and then national governance, national governance and then the world is peaceful.

This is the content of the "University" in the Four Books and Five Classics of the Eight Classics, which can be memorized by a reader, and even the annotations of celebrities in previous dynasties and dynasties can also be memorized.

Huang Jinquan and the three of them are still a little conceited, and the first competition can be said to be something they are not good at, although they lost, they were not convinced.

"The world and the country?"

"What an interesting young man."

When the middle-aged man heard the content of the second level of the competition, he immediately showed a strong interest, arithmetic is a small way in his opinion after all, this country is what he cares about the most, he really wants to see what unique insights this young man in front of him can have about his family and country.

"Then I'm out of the question, let's start with a simple one, first talk about which provinces we have in the Ming Dynasty, and we want to say them one by one from north to south."

Liu Jin smiled and came out of the question, this topic must be a sub-question, the Ming Dynasty followed the provincial system of the Yuan Dynasty, of course, the accurate title at this time should be the Cheng Xuan Political Envoy.

"It's easy, I'll do it."

When Lin Shuhong heard this, he immediately stood up and said; "Our Ming Dynasty is composed of two capitals and thirteen provinces, from north to south, roughly Beizhili, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Sichuan, Huguang, Nanzhili, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou."

"In addition, there are several important components related to the West Seven Guards, the Oris Military and Civilian Marshal's Mansion, and the Troubled River Guard."

Lin Shuhong also smiled slightly proudly after speaking, because he likes to read geography books, he is still very clear about the composition of the Ming Dynasty.

"That's a very accurate answer."

Liu Jin nodded after hearing this, then thought about it and said, "Then what is the place north of the Great Wall?" ”

"What is this place west of Kansai?"

"What is the place south of Liangguang and Yunnan-Guizhou?"

"Where are these places east of the East China Sea?"

Liu Jin issued four questions one after another, corresponding to the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest.

"To the north of the Great Wall are naturally Tatar and Warat, to the west of Kansai are the ancient lands of the Western Regions, to the south of Liangguang and Yunnan-Guizhou are the 100,000 Great Mountains, to the south of the 100,000 Great Mountains are Annam and Siam, and to the east of the East China Sea are the Wa Kingdom and Korea."

When Lin Shuhong heard this, he replied with a smile.

"The geography is good, I know a lot."

Liu Jin couldn't help but praise this Lin Shuhong, this person who reads the Four Books and Five Classics can clearly distinguish the southeast, south, and northwest, and roughly know some information outside the Ming Dynasty, which is very rare.

"Do you know what is north of Tatar and Warat?"

"What is this place west of the ancient land of the Western Regions?"

"What is this place south of Annam, south of Siam?"

"What is this place east of Korea and the Wa Kingdom?"

"What are these places producing, and what is the human geography like?"

However, Liu Jin didn't intend to let the other party go like this, and asked a few questions one after another.

"West of the Western Regions? Annam, south of Siam? North of Warat, Tatar? East of Korea and the Wa Kingdom? ”

When the diners on the second floor heard this, they were all dumbfounded, including the middle-aged man with extraordinary equipment, his mind was blank, and he didn't know any information about these places at all.

"It's... I am a great country in the Ming Dynasty, located in the center of the world, the north is a bitter cold land, the west is a desert place, the south is full of miasma, and the east is the sea of waves. ”

"Only I, the Ming Dynasty, is in the center of the universe, the treasures of the world, the outstanding people, why do we need to know too much about the wild land outside the world, probably know one or two, you are deliberately making things difficult, I can also ask you the same, where is the place from the East China Sea to the east, where is the end of the sea, and where will it be until the end of the east?"

"Can you tell?"

"If you can say it, I am willing to bet and lose, even if you win this game, I will kowtow to you on the spot."

Lin Shuhong was slightly speechless, and then thought about it, but said very righteously.

"That's right, this is deliberately difficult, how can there be such a continuous question, no one can say that he knows everything about the world, no one can say that he really travels all over the world, the world is big, no one knows."

As soon as Lin Shuhong's words fell, there were diners on the second floor who spoke out in support, and when he said that the Ming Dynasty, the center of the world, the people present also showed a proud look on their faces, obviously many people agreed with Lin Shuhong's words, we don't need to know too much information about the wild land outside the world.

"Well said, my people of the Ming Dynasty should be like this."

The middle-aged man also bowed slightly when he heard Lin Shuhong's words, Daming should be the best in the world, as for Daming, it is all bitter cold, desert, and wild land, which is not worth paying attention to at all.
