Geng Chaozhong smiled slightly and said:

"There is also a saying in China: the times make heroes. This sentence is relatively simple, and it is a truth summed up by the general public through long-term observation. They found that in times of crisis, there are always some heroes or who come forward, such as Chen Sheng and Wu Guang; or was excavated, such as Zhuge Liang invited by Liu Bei Sangu thatched house; or forced to stand up, such as Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe.

But have you ever thought about it, before Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, was there no other person who rebelled against the tyrannical Qin? I think there must be, but they probably didn't make much of a splash. Before Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang, did he invite someone else? I think there must be, but this person may not be as famous as Zhuge Liang. and Zhao Kuangyin, I'm afraid that the Chenqiao Mutiny was also very common in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms! ”

Geng Chaozhong's words made everyone in the audience nod their heads, but some people also asked questions:

"According to what Mr. Zhou said, no one else has succeeded, only these few people have succeeded, doesn't it show the importance of heroes?"

"Good question!" Geng Chaozhong laughed, "The wheel of history is rolling forward, whether it is created by heroes or driven by mortals is the first question we have in studying history. And the general history of the West that I teach is an out-and-out heroic history, and their first hero is God! ”

"God?"

The eyes of everyone in the audience widened.

"Not bad!" Geng Chaozhong nodded vigorously, "We all know that in the study of history, the first-hand information is the historical documents, in archaeology, the historical documents are always in the first place, only by reading the historical documents, can we understand what happened in a certain area."

However, compared with our Chinese history, Western history lacks effective and credible written records, and their so-called Greek myths have not found any reliable written records, and what is more suspicious is that most of these Greek myths have only begun to circulate after the Renaissance, and from the Roman Empire to the Renaissance, there is a thousand-year-long history that is a blank!

Therefore, as a rigorous historical research, Greek mythology is not enough for me, but all the history of Westerners is based on the myths and stories of the Old Testament, so today we will start with the Old Testament to let you understand how Western history came about.

.......”

Geng Chaozhong talked eloquently, and everyone in the audience was amazed.

At this time, most of the general history of the West started from Greek mythology, and Geng Chaozhong directly abandoned the myths and legends without evidence, and directly started from the city-state system, everyone heard such a novel point of view for the first time, even the teachers in the back row, they were fascinated by it, especially Principal Tang and Mu Youan, who looked at Geng Chaozhong with surprised eyes.

They don't understand why according to this teacher Zhou's knowledge, which is enough to get a place in other famous universities in Nanjing and Shanghai, why did he come to this women's public school where her grandmother doesn't love her uncle and doesn't love her?

......

"Congratulations, Mr. Zhou, you have been officially hired by our girls' public school!"

In the principal's office, Principal Tang looked at Geng Chaozhong with a smile, then took out a red envelope from behind the desk, handed it to Geng Chaozhong, and continued: "This is the first month's monthly salary of 200 yuan, I will advance it to you in advance, your classes are scheduled on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons, and four classes per week, do you think it is appropriate?" ”

"Yes, thank you Principal Tang."

Geng Chaozhong took the red envelope, and he was quite proud in his heart.

200 yuan, which is a high-wage class in the Republic of China, at least, Boss Dai's salary is this number. What's more, as your fame deepens, your salary will rise.

"By the way, I first came to Nanjing, and now I am staying at a friend's house, which is very inconvenient. Now that I have settled down, it seems that I must find a long-term residence, but I am not familiar with Nanjing, so I wonder if Principal Tang can arrange it on his behalf? Geng Chaozhong asked.

"In this way," Principal Tang pondered for a moment, "you go back to the office to find Mu You'an, she is a native of Nanjing and knows a lot of people, you can ask her to help you find a suitable place to live." ”

"Okay, thank you Principal Tang." Geng Chaozhong was secretly happy in his heart and hurriedly thanked him.

When he returned to the office and found that Mu Youan was indeed there, Geng Chaozhong said a few polite words and asked:

"By the way, Sister Mu, just now Principal Tang asked me to find you, I want to ask you to help find a place to live, I haven't been in Nanjing for long, and I have been living at a friend's house......"

Geng Chaozhong explained his hardships in a few words, and looked at Mu Youan with a sincere face.

"Where to live?"

Mu You'an frowned slightly, glanced at Geng Chaozhong, seemed to be thinking about something, and after a while, he finally spoke:

"There is a residence, in the same alley as my house, but there is a gambling house near that house, and it is a bit noisy at night."

"It's okay, it's okay, settle down first, and it's not too late to find the right one later. Recently, I lived at a friend's house, and I looked at people every day, which was really embarrassing! Geng Chaozhong hurriedly spoke.

"Okay, I'll take you to see it after work in a while." Mu Youan nodded.

Geng Chaozhong nodded silently in his heart.

Mu Youan's second lane on Guangzhou Road has long been full, but since he made up his mind to approach Mu Youan, he arranged for Wang Jianqiu to operate in advance and drive out a family in the same alley as Mu Youan, and then find an opportunity to ask Mu Youan, as long as Mu Youan is not too annoying to himself, it is estimated that he is likely to introduce that family to himself.

In fact, even if you move in directly, it's nothing, but asking like this is not easy to arouse Mu Youan's suspicions.

In a blink of an eye, it was more than 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Mu Youan stood up and glanced at Geng Chaozhong, and Geng Chaozhong hurriedly followed Mu Youan out.

The two went out of the school gate, Mu Youan was very quiet, and he didn't speak, Geng Chaozhong thought for a moment, and didn't speak, and the two walked out along Guangzhou Road one after the other.

After a while, Mu Youan seemed to feel that it was quite rude to be silent all the time, thought for a while, and said, "Mr. Zhou, listening to your lecture today, it seems that you don't think much of the Western view of heroic history?" ”

"Everywhere, I just think that the existing historical research seems to ignore the study of the social background and political system in the process of historical development, and ignoring this point can easily create the illusion that history is created by heroic figures." Geng Chaozhong said with a smile.

"Oh," Mu Youan nodded as if he didn't understand, "But I listened to your lecture today, and it seems that your views have some materialist shadows, have you read Hegel?" ”

"I've read a few, but I'm also interested in Nietzsche's philosophy of the superman." Geng Chaozhong's answer was not leaky.

Marx and Hegel are in the same line, and this Mu You'an is exploring his own bottom.

"Oh," Mu You'an nodded, "Mr. Zhou is very knowledgeable, the little girl admires him very much, I also know a little about history, and I don't know anything about Western history, but listening to Mr. Zhou's lecture today, I have a lot of interest, and I have to ask Mr. Zhou for more advice in the future." ”

Geng Chaozhong hurriedly said a few polite words, and while he was talking, the familiar alley had arrived, Mu Youan led Geng Chaozhong to a room next door to the gambling house, pointed to the house and said:

"This is it, it's been a few days since the door was posted for rent, and when you ask today, I just thought of here, or I'll accompany you in to have a look?"

"No need, I'll just go in by myself." Geng Chaozhong waved his hand again and again, Mu Youan didn't say much, said goodbye and turned around and walked towards his house.

Knocking on the door, a young man showed his head, and when he saw Geng Chaozhong, his eyes suddenly showed respect, and then he looked around vigilantly, and then welcomed Geng Chaozhong in and carefully closed the door.

"Sixth brother, are you here?"

As soon as he walked in, Wang Jianqiu came out of the room and walked in front of Geng Chaozhong with a smile on his face.

"How's the man preparing?" Geng Chaozhong nodded and asked.

"Ready, as long as you give an order, we will take people!" Wang Jianqiu's face was full of confidence.

"Don't worry," Geng Chaozhong nodded, "It's best to get the stolen goods together, otherwise, it's useless to just arrest people." ”
