Chapter 028: More Communication

"I think it makes sense, but I don't understand, if the ball is so big, how does it spin? Hey, when Emperor Hong finished eating, I will help you to ask, since he said that the earth is round, he must know why. Several people were writing and drawing at the dinner table, and even the people next to them were attracted to the picture on the table. Zhao Yao don't look short, his brain is very flexible, he also has a lot of questions in his heart that can't be answered, and when he saw Hong Tao and Wen Hao chatting and walking outside the canteen, he immediately had an idea, and chased after him at a trot.

There is more than one person who has the same idea as Zhao Yao, Hong Tao was surrounded at the door of the canteen, some came to him to debate, some came to him for advice, and some came to him for questioning, anyway, they all came with questions. There were actually two old masters who came to Emperor Hong with history books to confirm whether the extreme western country recorded above was the Great Qin State, and they still believed in the history books more than what Hong Tao said.

No matter what the tone of these people is, whether the purpose is good or bad, Hong Tao is very pleased, which shows that his mouth in the afternoon was not in vain! It's good if you have a problem, but if you talk about it all afternoon, it's okay to be troublesome. He is not afraid of many problems, as long as he is willing to communicate, Hong Tao is confident that he can use his knowledge that is hundreds of years ahead of the times to convince at least one-third of the people, make one-third half-believed, and the remaining one-third are stubborn.

Those who are persuaded will be their loyal listeners in the future, and they can help themselves spread these things to the ears of more people, whether they believe it or not, and their words and fame will be spread.

Hong Tao prefers half-believing people, this is the correct attitude towards studying knowledge. Don't be superstitious about anyone, don't easily deny anything, right or wrong, true or false, don't express your stance first, ask questions in your heart, and then slowly verify it.

People who don't listen to them at all, and know that they are talking to themselves, will ignore them themselves. In any era, there are stubborn people, there are people who pretend to be asleep, and there are people who pretend to be confused. If you want to convince these people, it's completely useless, just let them continue to sleep, people who pretend to be asleep can't wake up.

There were obviously fewer people in the class on the second day, but Hong Tao didn't care, what should he talk about or continue to speak, the number of existing listeners has already exceeded the original expectations, why ask for more?

Emperor Hong's first opening lecture lasted a total of three days. In fact, I really can't understand anything in three days, at most, I gave everyone a three-day geography class and popularized some ethnographic knowledge. But the effect of these three days is still obvious, this knowledge is equivalent to opening a new window for many people, let them understand that the world is like this, and there are so many countries and regions that they have not visited, have not seen, and have not understood.

Curiosity, or curiosity, is the driving force behind human progress, and as long as people have a strong sense of why, they will find ways to answer their questions. If one of the 10,000 or 1 million people succeeds, all of humanity will take a small step forward.

For Hong Tao, the most direct benefit to him is that he has made a lot of friends from the Southern Song Dynasty, saying that the friends are still a little early, at least they basically recognize each other, and they are willing to talk a little more. Of course, more people still have a wait-and-see attitude, preparing to come here next month to listen to Emperor Hong's class and see if they can solve the doubts in their hearts.

In any case, in their eyes, Emperor Hong is no longer the reckless man who is vulgar, murderous, simple-minded and well-limbed, and can sail on the sea, although he does not quite fit the image of a scholar and a Confucian in their hearts, but he is also a learned and communicative person.

This is what Hong Tao needs, not asking them to accept themselves once, as long as they can be touched by this knowledge, and being able to tease their curiosity and curiosity out is the biggest gain.

It is not easy to convince a person, and it is even more difficult to convince a knowledgeable person. How easy is it for you to break up his inherent knowledge structure and then rebuild it for him? Does a person who can bow down and bow down in a few words have knowledge in his head? What is the use of such a person? Go to the American continent and hold up a lighter at random, and such a person will be able to fall to his knees.

"Envoy Xuanfu, I think that exchanges like this should not only stop at our level, but also be more extensive. Although our two countries have different governing philosophies and different cultural habits, we both speak the same language and write the same language, which has greatly facilitated our mutual understanding. The more you understand each other, the more you can understand each other's actions, both on a human and national level. If both the Great Song Dynasty and the Imperial Government could understand each other's thoughts, the chances of misunderstanding and misunderstanding between us would be much smaller, what do you say? ”

For Wen Hao, a high-ranking official of the Great Song Dynasty, who could also put down his body and sit in the classroom and listen to his vernacular for three days, Hong Tao had to look at him again, and at the same time planned to dig him deeper in the pit. Not to mention sending him to the dock in person, he also had to exchange views cordially.

"Your Majesty has a point...... I beg your pardon for being stupid, I don't know what Your Majesty means by speaking more broadly? Wen Hao made Hong Tao a little dizzy, could it be that this emperor wanted to go to the Great Song Academy or even Taixue to give lectures? If that's the case, you have to make a good total, can you take advantage of this opportunity to get more benefits for your faction.

"I have an idea to let some young people from the empire go to serve in the Great Song Dynasty. It's not that they are officials, but they are doing chores for you as a staff member, so that they can exercise, learn more, and see more, which will be beneficial to their future growth. Of course, this is a two-way street, and if the young talents of the Great Song Dynasty are willing, I can also make a proposal to the Imperial Government and provide them with some internship opportunities in the government. In this way, it will be very helpful for our two countries to get to know each other, and when some of them grow up, they will definitely have smoother communication with each other than between us. ”

“…… It's not impossible, but let me go to the court first. "Wen Hao is really confused this time, Jin He Kingdom has come to a half-concealment on the issue of opening up, so that his plan to spy on the true strength of Jin He Kingdom has been greatly affected, and now the emperor of the other party suddenly proposed to exchange officials with each other, doesn't this provide a more convenient opportunity for himself? Could it be that this emperor is old and confused? It's not like, he has said a lot in the past few days, and people who can make a large group of Great Song elites listen to the three-day class honestly will be confused? But why is that? Wen Hao couldn't figure it out, so he didn't dare to give an answer immediately, so he had to use the court to make a sloppy eye and delay it first.

"Well, it does need to be played, and I'm just suggesting that it will be up to the Imperial Government and Parliament to decide whether it will succeed or not. But there is one more thing, the ambassador should be able to call the shots. I plan to send some Imperial students to study in the schools of the Great Song Dynasty, just like the original students of the Great Song Dynasty in the Aviation School. The empire has the strengths of the empire, and the Great Song Dynasty also has the advantages of the Great Song Dynasty, I want them to learn more comprehensively and adopt the strengths of the others. Hong Tao didn't give Wen Hao much time to think, and then put forward another request that Wen Hao couldn't delay. Nanyang Xuanfu envoy, the three-way school administration is also within the jurisdiction, as long as it does not involve exams and reforms, just plug a few foreign students, no one needs to play, Wen Hao himself can make the decision.

"It is a blessing to have a teacher like Your Majesty, the students of the empire! His Majesty of the Three Roads Academy can choose at will, and he can serve under my curtain if he wants, and he doesn't need to tell anyone about this matter. Wen Hao's words are indeed sincere, no matter what he thinks of Hong Tao, just for this matter, Hong Tao's approach really makes him admire.

The emperor of a country, who attaches so much importance to education, thinks about the students of his own country, and does not hesitate to go into battle to beg for people everywhere, this is a manifestation of extreme respect for knowledge, which is no different from the pursuit of the Great Song scholars, and in many places even surpasses a lot. Although this is considered unseemly in the eyes of the Great Song people, Wen Hao doesn't see it that way, he is not a person who follows the rules in his bones, and he does not appreciate the red tape of the scholars.
