The New Year is approaching, the strange smell of the New Year walks in the streets and alleys, from time to time there is a deafening sound of firecrackers, the thick smell of nitrate diffuses in the air, and there will always fly cyan bitter smoke to cover the sun in the sky.

The pedestrians on the road rubbed shoulders one after another, and Chen Jian was wrapped up in the flow of people, carrying a thick stack of papers to visit Sun Zhan, occasionally raising his head to look at the smoke and dust in the alley.

This is a forgotten corner of the world, with no strong enemies in the north and no strong enemy countries, and no news from the outside world in the desert in the south.

Only a small Qi country remains, but it is only a battle over the sea. There is a huge amount of arable land, and the people are rich and happy, so naturally there is a lack of the spirit of great contention in the world.

Beyond the fog, the year that will soon come will be the last year of the sixteenth century in the Western calendar.

If we look at the world from the perspective of this ethnic group, it is also divided into East and West.

It's coming this year.

In the east, the War to Resist Japanese Aggression and Aid Korea has just come to an end, but Yang Yinglong of Banzhou can't bear it, and the last of the three major campaigns will also begin. The levy of the Western Expedition against the Japanese was finally exempted, but the people at the bottom were ignorant and still paid, and the mine supervisors and tax supervisors led to revolts and smashes everywhere, but they did not notice that the Tunguska people in the north had created writing and began to show their ambitions.

To the west, the divided HRE is still busy persecuting Protestants, and the witch burning campaign in the Black Forest is at its peak; It was the seventh year that the Irish had revolted against England with the help of the fanatical Catholic guardian Spain, and the new Spanish king had finally finished his service and was forming a new armada, but the Irish had been looking south for another year, and this new armada had finally run to suppress the Dutch to protect their interests, and the bane of Northern Ireland had been planted at this time; The French were poor and once again issued a ban on luxury, and the king and queen were busy breaking their shoes, and finally officially divorced; In order to resist the Ottoman mission to the countries of Europa, the Persians began to spread among men, and red heels became a symbol of men's noble status......

And many more places are still forgotten corners of the civilized world.

The Maori continued to drink blood, the Polynesians continued to search for new islands by canoe, and Uncle Black's chieftains skillfully used arquebuses to capture people from neighboring tribes in exchange for money.

The fog that shrouded the various ethnic groups will one day be dispelled by the great white sails, and the various ethnic groups will inevitably be drawn into this turbulent time, into a terrible era that is even more chaotic than the history that Jian Chen knew.

This chaos and mixture has long taken place in this place shrouded in fog and forgotten by the world.

Children with shaved braids hold incense and light cannons to plug their ears; Sailors hate lice, and some choose to shave their hair clean; The tone of the market is yin and yang; The bell and drum tower powered by the gravity hammer emits the aftermath of the bronze bell; The merchants, dressed in their right-hand robes, talked about the new coloured cotton being planted in the north, and scoffed at the dullness of the colour and the fact that the fibres were too short to be spun; The nobles of the Hou Bo Kingdom, who had lost their political status but lived a prosperous life, rode horses with coins and short guns, or lacked the talent for learning, so they had to choose the simplest naturalist at this time, to investigate the flora, fauna and minerals of various places, and wanted to be respected naturalists.

All kinds of people formed a crowd, and the crowd wrapped the dazzled Chen Jian and kept walking forward until the door of Sun Zhan's house.

The pivot on the door had already been turned into an iron hinge, and the book had been entered.

The premature popularity of reverberatory furnace iron-frying and blast iron smelting, as well as high-quality iron ore and coke, made the iron-smelting industry of this group develop rapidly. But the Hushu is not this race, and it is not the use of iron instead of the former Hushu, this group has changed.

For example, the hub is gone, and the threshold is still there, and it is still very high.

After Jian Chen knocked on the door, his servant opened the door, reported his name, crossed the threshold that could be crossed in one step, but it was actually difficult to cross, and came to the study.

In the study, Sun Zhan was writing something, there were a lot of books piled up around, and a pot of orchids was placed next to him.

Seeing the pot of orchids, Jian Chen smiled unconsciously.

After seeing the gift, Jian Chen first gave some New Year's gifts, which were not valuable, but they were very much in line with Sun Zhan's wishes.

Sun Zhan noticed that Jian Chen was holding a stack of paper full of words, and asked with a smile, "This is what you wrote?" Take it for me to see. ”

Jian Chen hurriedly handed it over with both hands, and said with a smile: "Compared to reality, I am too young, so I have to write some things with pen and ink to stretch my mind." It's just that I'm a shallow learner, I'm young, I'm thin-minded, and I have the impulsive problem of young people, and I said something unashamed at the banquet last time, and I asked Mr. Yoshiji not to be surprised. After thinking about it these days, I realized that I was so naïve at that time. ”

Sun Zhan waved his hand and said with a smile: "If you are not impulsive but your blood is as cold as mud, is that called a young man?" When I was younger, I did this too, and it was nothing. You know it's wrong, just change it. ”

As he spoke, he touched his glasses, Jian Chen hurriedly handed them over, took a closer look, and found that there were not many bubbles in the glasses, which were much more expensive than the ones he usually saw.

Hands handed over, Chen Jian flattered again: "Mr. Yiyi's eyes are not good, but I heard a method, saying that it is sheep's liver and eyes, but Mr. Yiyi can try." There is also cod liver, and if my father encounters a sea shark or something like that when he goes out to sea, I will definitely ask him to stay and send it to Mr. Yoshi. ”

"If I read too much, my eyes have long been bad, and I have heard the method of sheep liver, but I don't like to eat these viscera. This is the first time I have heard of cod liver. ”

He didn't immediately look at those words, glanced at Chen Jian, and said, "If you really want to learn to write dramas, I can introduce you to some people." Speaking of which, you are still young, have mixed knowledge, and have some whimsical ideas, but you still have this talent. You're smart, but you're impulsive, and although you read a lot, you're disorganized, and your foundation is worse after all. However, since you love money, your mood is inevitably utilitarian and urgent, and it is difficult to achieve great things without tempering. ”

"Mr. Yoshi's lesson is."

"Ancient gentlemen, when Ji Xia was in the reign, did anyone love money?"

"Probably not."

"Have you heard about Lei Zhengxing, which was widely spread a few days ago?"

"I've heard a little."

"Hey...... This is the gentleman in my heart, if everyone in the world is like this, where will there be any more strife? If there is such a gentleman, and there is a talent for policing the world, if he is a king, with unlimited rights and discernment, this is the prosperous age in my heart. ”

Chen Jian nodded again and again, but he was slandering in his heart. The heart said that this is at most after castration, and if the real Lei Zhengxing knew that the workhouse was like this, he would definitely not donate money or smash his arms and turn the world upside down. Like Paul, when he built roads in the snow, it was because he was the master of the country, and when he wasn't, he was also a bad element under the morality of the old era when he picked up his fist and picked up a gun.

Chen Jianxin said, now the Lei Zhengxing you feel emotionally is at best a martial arts training - the genuine brand is as warm as spring to people, and there is a sentence later, and everyone likes it if he castrates half of it.

Besides, if you know that I donated that money in order to pit more people's money, you will definitely have a myocardial infarction and suffocate to death, ignorance is a blessing.

He didn't say anything, but just kept following Sun Zhan's favorite words, and plagiarized a few words and phrases about the sage ruling the world, which made Sun Zhan nod again and again.

Sun Zhan actually valued Jian Chen very much, and those words were not just casual words. That passionate battle essay reminded Sun Zhan of when he was young, even if he didn't agree with it at this time, he could still feel the fiery passion when he went back, and even copied it himself.

After several visits, Chen Jian also pretended to argue from the beginning, deliberately showed the fanaticism of some young people, and said some bloody remarks that were easy to be refuted. On the one hand, Sun Zhan felt that Chen Jian was still saved, and although he knew a lot of things, he occasionally had deafening words; On the other hand, Chen Jian always deliberately said something that was easy to refute, and then he was educated by Sun Zhan, and Chen Jian showed a look of sudden realization, and in the past six months, in Sun Zhan's eyes, Chen Jian has gradually changed from a hot-blooded young man to a person with similar political coordinates to him.

He was a playwright, but he was also a participant in a party and had some political aspirations. What many people say is not as short and powerful as what the young man in front of him copied from somewhere, and it sounds very comfortable.

But that's all there is to it, Sun Zhan has long seen from a few conversations what level of Chen Jian's knowledge of literature and history is, and sometimes he needs to explain it with some allusions.

So he didn't have much hope for the script that Chen Jian sent him to read in the past six months.

At this time, it has been delivered, and everything that needs to be said has been said, so I have to look through it.

As soon as he flipped through a few pages, Sun Zhan's hand shook violently, put the paper on the table, held his glasses with one hand, and looked at it carefully.

These pages are monologues of the characters in the play, the common form of expression in the play, and the form itself is still within the framework, which does not surprise Sun Zhan.

What surprised Sun Zhan was that there were a few paragraphs in it, and on the thin three pages, there were three sentences that could be circulated for a hundred years in Sun Zhan's opinion, and there were only a dozen sentences that he was really satisfied with for so long and could be circulated for a hundred years.

For example, the monologue of a young heir of a depressed and confused Hou Boguo: "To survive or to perish, it is a question: should we silently endure the merciless blow of a bumpy fate? Or should we fight against the endless suffering as deep as the sea and overcome it? ”

Which of these two choices is more noble? Death is sleep, it's nothing more than that! ”

"If a sleep can end the suffering of the soul and the afflictions of the body, then this ending is hopeful!"

"Die, sleep......"

"But in sleep there may be dreams, and ah, this is an obstacle: when we are freed from this skin of death, what dreams will come in the eternal sleep of death?"

"It makes us hesitate, and makes us willingly endure the calamities of many years, otherwise who would tolerate all kinds of torture in the world?"

"For example, the government of a tyrant, the pride of the arrogant, the pain of falling out of love, the slowness of the law, the insult of a corrupt official, or the humiliation of the mediocrity, if he can simply cut it down, who else will be willing to be a cow and a horse, tired of working all his life, silently enduring his suffering, and not going far away, floating in the realm of nothingness?"

Wasn't it the fear of what would leave him behind him that kept him hesitant? This realm is a state that no one knows, and there is no one to return from ancient times......"
