Chapter 606: The Giant Comes to the West

Aristotle was poked in the sore spot by Bai Dong.

The secret between him and his mentor Plato was not a secret at all in Bai Dong's eyes, and it was well known in the circle of Athenian scholars. As Plato's most admired student, he was also an enemy of Plato, who was more of a romantic poet and mythologist, and Aristotle, a simple and precise practitioner.

Plato sneered at the highest things in the real world as those we think rationally, aristotle scoffed at them, arguing that the highest things in the real world are those that we perceive with our senses; Aristotle's assertion is the opposite, arguing that what exists in the human soul is purely a shadow of natural things, and therefore nature is the real world.

The teacher was naturally great, but his theory of the magic stick was completely unacceptable to Aristotle. In Aristotle's view, the teacher is completely trapped in a mythical world in which the human imagination is confused with the real world!

The controversy between the teacher and the student continued from the pulpit of Plato's academy to Plato's sickbed, and poor Plato was often so angry with the rebellious student that he vomited blood, and then puffed out his eyes to drink the potion that Aristotle had made for him

The historical Aristotle was driven out of Plato's academy after Plato's death, and he became the teacher of Alexander the Great after more than ten years of exile.

However, at this time, Aristotle was more like a child who had just run away from home with his father, and he did not have a firm determination to go to China. As a result, he was ravaged by Bai Dong. The Athenian sage, who was about to die, made up his mind. He really wants to go to Huaxia now. Look at what Bai Dong's hometown of 'academic demons' looks like? Maybe Huaxia can help him break through the bottleneck and solve the biggest problem that haunts him and his teacher Plato?

Go, go

Seeing that Aristotle had made up his mind to be fooled by himself, and that he was still looking leisurely and fascinated, a smile appeared on the corner of Bai Dong's mouth. He could imagine what a surprise the Fengming Academy would bring to Aristotle. There is no academy in the world today that is as inclusive and inclusive of ideas as Fengming Academy, and no academy can allow students to integrate hundreds of schools of thought instead of denouncing them as heretical, even the famous Platonic Academy in the West is far behind.

When Aristotle really appreciated the benefits of Fengming Academy, Bai Dong would not be able to drive him away even if he was in a hurry, and Alexander the Great would not have such a sage as a teacher. Macedonia will not become a trouble for China in 20 years, and Aristotle, who has been obsessed with learning all his life, will become the link between Fengming Academy and the academic circles of the East and the West, and this link will soon become a broad avenue of cultural exchanges between the East and the West, and the economic avenue that the Bai family, the Xu family, the Fan family, the Gan family, the Du family and the poultry Huaxi have worked hard to build will drive along, and become the two carriages of China to open up the West!

When Aristotle insisted on riding a camel and going to China on his own, he came to the port of Istanbul for the first time.

His business is very good, under the support of the big background of the Qin State, he has basically monopolized the silk business of Shu, and the silk, tea, and lacquerware of Shu are transported to Persia like a stream of water through the efforts of the children of the Mo family, and there is no chance to cross the Mediterranean Sea to satisfy the hungry ~ thirsty Greeks and Romans. Persia alone can consume all the things that the Mohists brought.

The bird that walked step by step in the rain lost a lot of weight. The Mo family pays attention to everything and does it personally, so at the beginning of the business, he must personally inquire. Although the silk of the Mo family will be sent to the Qin realm by water first, avoiding the difficult Shu Road, the altitude sickness when crossing the Buzhou Mountain also makes him, a person who has never left the plain, want to die~ Immortal, and he greeted Bai Dong thousands of times in his stomach.

After entering Persia, the strong exotic atmosphere made the poultry slip west feel a little better, he liked the wine, garlic and onions here, especially the camel patty simmered with garlic, it was simply the supreme delicacy, and the bird slipper could eat more than a dozen in one meal!

Bai Dong stood in front of the room, looking at the bird with a smile on his face, for the sake of secrecy, the dignified Mo family giant dressed up as a fisherman. Barefoot, wearing a soft felt hat commonly used by Persian fishermen, and even a string of fresh fish tied around his neck, before the person approached, a strong fishy smell came to his face.

is worthy of being the leader of the first terror ~ terrorist organization in China, with first-class disguise and disguise methods, and all the serious Mediterranean sardines tied around his neck, no one can see half of the flaws.

Yu Huaxi glared at Bai Dong, walked into the room sullenly, sat down and said, "What a Silk Road, do you want to exhaust the children of the Mo family to death?" However, this trip made the people of the Mo family see the benefits of economy and commerce, and understood that only the development of the 'economy' in your mouth is the way to love the world, and it is impossible to give up. Do you understand and tell me, did you think that the Mo family was an eyesore a long time ago, so you came up with such a way to firmly tie up my Mo family? ”

After all, he is a giant of the Mo family, and he is really not a fool, but he complains and complains, and when he saw Bai Dong looking at him meaningfully, he finally couldn't help laughing, Bai Dong also laughed, it is very difficult to change a person, let alone change the Mo family? Even if the bird slips and accepts the change, he always has to complain, and the new daughter-in-law who has enjoyed the fun in the cave room doesn't have to pretend to be shy, this is a truth.

"The giant is my Chinese wise man, and he can naturally see how important the economic and commercial way will have on the world, so let's not talk about interests, but only for the people. The silk base of the Mo family in Bashu gave the Shu people a livelihood, and after selling it to Persia, they could earn the money of the rich Persians, and then use the money to buy cotton and cotton seeds locally, so that the Persian farmers also had a livelihood, and these cotton and cotton seeds were brought to China, and since then China has the best winter things, and the peasants and workers who make cotton clothes and plant cotton can profit from it. ”

Bai Dong smiled and said: "In this way, you can make the world help without soldiers, isn't it more wonderful than the Mo family going to help people fight?" Brother Shenzi should thank me at this moment, but I have always been a person who only asks for dedication, not in return, and you don't need to be polite. ”

Bird Slip Xi laughed: "What a white man, I often hear people say that Bai Zi has a lot of benevolence, but he also has the ability to destroy the country, today I know that your face is also very thick, are you a good person who only asks for dedication?" What a big family business the Xiang family of Chu State is, but you have been so miserable, it is no wonder that Xiang Meng is desperate to find you for revenge. ”

"The economy of a country can be like the kindness of Ganlin, or it can be like the fierceness of swords, Xiang Meng only has money in his heart, when will he take care of the people in the world? Therefore, I am not a pit family, but conform to the laws of the economy and the avenue. ”

"You're the winner, it's always your reasoning. But this Xiang Meng is also a talent, in just a few years, he can earn tens of millions of money and become your fierce rival, I really want to know, how will Baizi deal with it? ”

This time I secretly came to Istanbul Harbor to deal with the conspiracy of Mu Xijing and Xiang Meng, but I don't know how Bai Dong wants to arrange it, and Yu Huaxi is very curious.

Mu Xijing wants to mess up the righteous canal, and Xiang Meng has been secretly trying to calculate the Bai family trading company for a long time, which can be described as a two-pronged approach, but Bai Dong is in Persia, thousands of miles away, and he looks confident, making it difficult to guess what he is thinking. Could it be that the Mo family wanted to assassinate Xiang Meng and Mu Xijing? This is a good way, but it is a little inconsistent with this white man's style of acting, no matter how you look at it, it is a bad policy.

"It was also my carelessness that made the Xiang family gradually become a trend, and this time I want to ask Brother Shenzi for a big matter. Attack and kill! ”

"Did I hear me right? The dignified Baizi, a generation of Wenzong, the founder of Fengming Academy, actually asked the Mo family to assassinate others? ”

Bird Slip Xi laughed, Bai Dong has never advocated the Mo family's assassination methods, but he didn't expect to come to ask himself to make a move this time, which really made him happy. (To be continued.) )
