The lantern in front of the house was still hanging high, but the home soon ceased to belong to them. Zhou Nan actually still has a little nostalgia, because the environment of this home is beautiful, and it is left on the shore of the lake, which is indeed very much in line with his expectations for home.

However, the next thing to do is to go to the small town of Weggis to find a new home, and it is better to buy the Sennar villa directly.

Because the car was not enough to sit, Glewin did not go to the town office with Zhou Nan and them, and knowing the disappointed result, he went to the front of the shack to chop firewood again. "I'll never vote for Thomas next time, he's a jerk!"

This kind of complaint has no effect on the result that has been decided, and can only make you depressed.

However, no one can get rid of this negative emotion, and Zhou Nan also relied on Audrey's little amusement to completely get rid of the frustration caused by being expelled. At this time, even reciting the Taoist Sutra did not have any effect.

To Zhou Nan's surprise, the results had just come out in the morning, and in the afternoon, Mayor Entlebuch came to Zhou Nan's house again.

He, Entler Bucher, and Bucher are completely two surnames. Bucher means people who live next to bushes, while Entlebuch is the name of the town in Switzerland's only ecological reserve. The name derives from the bush and abundance of produce, and Entlebuch's ancestors simply adopted this name as their family name.

Therefore, he and Buhe are not the same surname at all, and they have nothing to do with each other. What's more, one of them is an intellectual, the other is a farmer, and they are two completely different people.

Not only did he make another official invitation, but he also brought a directory of homes for sale in the town of Weggis. However, Zhou Nan didn't look at those catalogs, but asked directly: "Are the Sennar villas and attached farms for sale?" ”

Entlebuch paused for a moment, and quickly said: "The villa Sennar can be sold, but the attached farm cannot be sold to you, because it is a farm of more than two square kilometers, and the government must guarantee the output of the farm, as well as jobs." Even if it is sold to you, how do you guarantee that the output is not less than before? If you want to hire people, where will you hire them? ”

Zhou Nan thought for a while, nodded and said, "I understand what you mean, so what if you just sell a small piece first, which is a location near Sennar's Villa?" When the policy changes later, I can have the right of first refusal for other locations. ”

Entlebuch said cheerfully: "I can promise you this directly!" But don't you think the Villa Sennar is a little too remote? The nearest home is a kilometre away. ”

"You also know that I'm a writer and I like the quiet environment. In addition, I have a car and will have a few horses in the future, so distance is never a problem. ”

He nodded and said, "A bomb shelter in the area of the villa also needs your maintenance. ”

"That's as it should be, I know the rules."

He smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Weggis welcomes you." ”

Zhou Nan shook his hand and said, "You won't regret today's invitation." ”

He laughed. "I believe it too!"

Zhou Nan also sent him an invitation: "Today is our holiday, since you have come to the house, I also sincerely invite you to stay as a guest." ”

"It's an honor."

During the period before the meal, Zhou Nan showed him a part of his manuscript. At first, he was a little unimpressed, because what he really valued was Zhou Nan's musical talent, and he didn't think that a young man could write a work of depth.

However, when he saw the name of the book, he was stunned. Because Zhou Nan used German art font, the word "General History of the World" was written on the front page. To dare to name it was enough to surprise Entlebuch, who had thought it was a novel.

Stavrianos's original work is in English, and the General History of the World in English is two words, and the General History of the World is five words, so he chose the name General History of the World.

In German, on the contrary, the general history of the world is two words, but the general history of the world is a phrase, so of course Zhou Nan chose the more representative name of the general history of the world.

Entlebuch didn't show much emotion and watched slowly. The first volume, titled Pre-Civilization Humanity, begins with an introduction to the nature of world history, which surprises him with a macroscopic perspective, because even he himself has never looked at the whole world and the history of human civilization from such an indifferent perspective of God.

The title of the second chapter is Humans – Food Gatherers. This chapter elaborates on how humans relied on food to survive and spread before the birth of human civilization, when humans lived like animals.

The name of the third chapter is Human ...... Food producers. From this chapter onwards, human beings have learned to produce from mere gathering, to use tools, and to distinguish between you and me.

This also means that human beings have begun to produce civilization.

The manuscript that Zhou Nan gave him was only these three chapters, but he read it for three hours. While reading a book, he also looked at Zhou Nan, who was busy in the kitchen. Watching him and the little girl talk to me, he couldn't believe that this was written by a young man in his twenties.

However, this seems to be the case, because this is the first time he has seen such a work.

When he had figured out all the contents of these three chapters, he couldn't wait to call Zhou Nan over. "Zhou, you surprised me again today, I can't believe it, why did you think of some such books?"

Zhou Nan behaved very indifferently. "It's very simple, because I myself am a product of the fusion of Eastern and Western civilizations, and I have been exposed to the impact of two different cultures at the same time since I was a child, which has also made me curious enough about the development of the entire human civilization. I was looking up all kinds of materials in the library for a long time, but it was difficult to collect them all, so I wanted to write my own. ”

"Your talent is truly admirable, I would love to know how you would write the following content, do you mind revealing a thing or two?"

Zhou Nan added a little boiling water to his teacup and sat down on the sofa diagonally opposite him. "There is nothing wrong with this, in fact, it is not so easy for this book to be published, and it needs the help of more friends and the promotion of society......"

Entlebuch was a very smart man, and he immediately said: "I wonder if you know anything about the political parties in Switzerland?" ”

Zhou Nan nodded and said, "When I was handling immigration, I also learned some knowledge in this area. ”

"Then it's easy to explain to you. Although there are more than 30 political parties in Switzerland, only four are in power. Like Thomas, who belongs to the Christian Democratic Party, they are also typical conservatives. And I belong to the Liberal Democratic Party, and as the name suggests, I can also know our governing line. We are the two largest political parties in Switzerland, with almost 50,000 members at the moment. And both of our parties have two seats out of the seven consuls. ”

Zhou Nan deliberately said: "I don't think that just because of these three chapters, the Liberal Democratic Party will invite me to join." ”

He also laughed, raised the paper and said: "This is just an introduction, the Liberal Democrats will never refuse any talented people to join, we will never be as conservative as the Christian Democrats, nor as radical as the Social Democrats." If you can show your talent, we will naturally spare no effort to support you. An artist, no, should be said to be a writer by now. A writer inherently enlightens or educates the world with his own thoughts, which is very beneficial to the propaganda of our party. We support you, you turn around and support our party, and the relationship is mutually reinforcing. ”

Zhou Nanchang sighed and said: "Mr. Entlebuhe, we have also been in contact many times, you should know that I am a person who hates politics the most, even if I join your political party, I hope not to arrange too many administrative affairs for me, I need free time." ”

He laughed: "Of course, I won't forget that you are still an artist. Joining a party doesn't mean you'll have administrative affairs. In fact, the vast majority of our party members are still doing their old jobs, and only a very small number of people hold public office. ”

Zhou Nan said happily: "So, do I need to apply to your party to join?" ”

"No, what you're going to do now is tell me what's next, because I can't wait."

Joining a political party is a good way for Zhou Nan to consider entering the system and finding allies. In addition, the general history of the world he is now writing is not a novel, and the print run is not determined by the reader's purchase, at least at the beginning. If you want to be famous, you need more party support and public opinion propaganda. Only a partisan effort can bring the book to the world.

"I'm almost done with the book General History of the World, but there are still some things I need to go to the library to check the materials to make sure. On the overall structure, there will be about sixty chapters......"

The original book was originally only fifty chapters, and later arranged to have only forty chapters. But because Zhou Nan added his own things, as well as part of the rise of a great power, and enriched a lot of content in it, it almost became sixty chapters.

So this book can no longer be regarded as a general history of the world, but a completely new book. It's just that this book still borrows Lao Si's structure and perspective, which is also the most commendable part of the original book.

Zhou Nan drastically shortened the prehistoric content, mainly because the prehistoric content does not focus too many people, and more people focus on modern history. So the second volume of the original book will always sell better than the previous one.

Now Zhou Nan has divided the whole book into three volumes, and the number of words has exceeded 1.8 million words, but the content from beginning to end is very exciting.

At the very least, he thinks that this book has gone beyond all the writings of this era, and beyond the limitations of the vision of this era. With enough support, it is not difficult for the book to make a splash in the world.
