Chapter 148: Prescribing the right medicine
Under the bright lights, Jia Rui and Hu Xingshan slowly drank tea together.
"Xingshan, the book always says that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Do you think that's true? ”
"Naturally, it's true, isn't that what the Book of Songs says."
"Then you said that Paul's Portugal is the land of our great virtues? Are they Portuguese people of great virtue? ”
"This ......."
"The world is so big, and we know very little. Although Dade is vast, it is only a small part of the world. Beyond the sea, there are the East, the South Sea, the West, the Americas, and Africa. ”
"You mean ......."
"It's just self-deception."
"I am a great virtue and a treasure of heaven, a vast land, and a collection of the best ...... of the world."
"Hehe, Dade has a lot of good things, but does Dade have a red-clothed cannon? Is there a chiming bell? Do you have a pocket watch? ”
"Do you know why there has been a sudden increase in silver over the years?"
"This ......."
"Our Dade doesn't produce much silver, and even copper ore is not much. Most of today's silver comes from overseas. ”
"Where did you come from?"
"There are a few in the East, but most of them come from a place called America. Among them, the Franc machine man contributed the most. ”
At this time, the Francophone was Spain.
"We always say that we are the Heavenly Empire, and we are surrounded by barbarians. It used to be, but it wasn't. Not only are we not, but we are still lagging behind, at least where Paul is, he is more advanced than we are. ”
"Are all the things that Paul boasted about?"
"It's all true, he's not bragging. And Portugal, where Paul is located, is only a small country at the moment. There are many more powerful than it. Franco, France, Britain, Italy, and many more. ”
"Today, Britain is the most powerful, known as the empire on which the sun never sets. The king was still a woman. ”
"A woman as a king? Isn't it the same as the Empress Wu? Are their subjects willing to submit? ”
"Naturally, it is willing, there are actually many empires there, and the queen is in charge."
"Tianxiang, what you said is true or false?"
"Do I have to lie to you? It's not like I'm telling you about the Classic of Mountains and Seas. It is "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", which we think is bizarre and absurd, but in fact, it may not be fake. ”
"The world is full of wonders, what we know is just a drop in the ocean, it is really sitting in a well and watching the sky, and peeping at the leopard in the tube."
"Tianxiang, why are you doing all that?"
Alas, again such a boring question.
"Have you forgotten whose disciple I am?"
Why is it Wenchang Xingjun again, is he too lenient?
At this time, the Great German Empire lagged behind Europe in many places in terms of the level of development of science and technology and productive forces.
It's just that he is self-contained, closed off from the country, not knowing that the outside world has changed dramatically, and is still intoxicated with the dream of the heavenly kingdom, thinking that Lao Tzu is the first in the world, surrounded by barbaric and backward barbarian lands.
"Tianxiang, what else do you know?"
"I know a lot. Look at this. ”
Jari took a pen and paper and wrote down Arabic numerals from 1 to 10.
"Isn't this the Wenchang Xingjun number used by Miaoyu and Wang San?"
"Yes, it's not just them who use it, but Paul and the people in their place use it too."
"Where did they learn it? Could it be that Wenchang Xingjun taught them? ”
"Of course."
"Isn't Wenchang Xingjun the god of our Han people? How can it be taught to them and not taught to the Han Chinese? ”
Bastard Hu Xingshan, why are you so ignorant.
"Heaven is in charge of the whole world, and there are many people in the world besides the Han people. For Wenchang Xingjun, he has to take care of all the articles in the world. ”
With so many things, I don't know if I will tire him to death.
Lying is really not done by people, a lie needs thousands of lies to fulfill the lie.
"Why did Wenchang Xingjun teach others first, instead of teaching the Han people first?"
Can you not ask these damn questions?
"I don't know about this, if you have a chance to meet him in the future, maybe you can ask him."
"How can I meet Wenchang Xingjun?"
"Like me, die once."
"I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to survive if I die."
Bastard, you just understand.
Where did it go?
Calling this second goods to bring the rhythm crookedly.
"Xingshan, let me tell you about Tang Paul and their affairs."
"Okay, I'm quite curious to hear what he said, and I'm really interested."
So Jia Rui began to talk about history, geography, economy, military, religion, culture, science, technology, and so on.
I don't pay attention to any system and logic, I just talk about it wherever I think of it, and try to say something new.
At the beginning, Hu Xingshan listened very energetically, and often interacted with Jia Rui.
Maybe it's been a long time, maybe it's a little dizzy, and then it's a little drowsy.
"The noble families, princes and nobles, and dignitaries there all like to dance."
"It's not like we here, where only Kabuki and barbarians dance. Rather, the ladies and adults danced. ”
"Do you know how they dance? A man and a woman, one hand on the shoulder, the other hand holding the waist jump. Even if a man and a woman don't know each other, if the man invites them, the woman will dance along. ”
Hu Xingshan sat up straight.
"Really, there is such a thing?"
You're a second, I said something else, you're going to fall asleep. As soon as you say this, you are in spirit.
"Naturally, it's true, if you don't believe it, I'll ask Don Paul in a moment."
"And ah, the princes and nobles of France. , I like my wife to associate with other men the most, and the more men I associate with, the happier they are, and the more attractive they feel that their wife is. If Hongxing goes out of the wall, they will be even happier. ”
Hu Xingshan's eyes widened and he slapped the table.
"There is such a magical country in the world, and there are such strange customs, I really want to go and experience it for myself."
There was a burst of ecstasy in Jia Rui's heart.
You're a second, I'm finally tempted, I just want to fool you there.
Hu Xingshan lost the imperial examination this time, and he was a little disheartened about the scientific examination. He was unwilling to study hard, and he knew that he had no hope of being admitted to the Jinshi again.
He didn't want to do the tea business at home, so he revealed the intention of doing business with Jia Rui between his words.
After recruiting Paul today, Jia Rui had an idea to send someone to follow Paul to Europe to learn the techniques there, especially the artillery, musket, gunpowder manufacturing technology, as well as advanced land and naval warfare technology.
Hu Xingshan is a very suitable candidate.
"There is no such thing as a man or a woman giving or receiving kisses, and women do not have the rules of not going out of the door and not going out of the second door. When you see a strange man, you don't have to avoid it. ”
"The marriage of men and women does not have the order of their parents, and the words of the matchmaker are the same. As long as it is the object of your heart, you can fall in love freely, and before you get married, you can date ...... privately. ”
Although there is no shortage of exaggerations in what Jia Rui said, it is not far from the truth.
He saw that Hu Xingshan was most interested in these things, so he increased his firepower in this area and attacked fiercely.
As it turns out, the right medicine is the most effective.
Hu Xingshan listened fascinated and immersed in infinite yearning.
"Tianxiang, if the end of the world is next to each other, good men are ambitious in all directions, let's call Paul, how about a trip there?"
You're a second goods, I'll wait for your words.
