The students' answers were varied, some of which caused everyone to laugh incessantly, and some of which were very refreshing, Wang Maoru smiled after listening carefully: "You are all right, but in my opinion, she is like a piece of fat, and everyone wants to take a bite." After biting this piece of fat, I still dislike that the fat is not fat enough. The faces of the classmates became more and more indignant, but Wang Maoru was very calm, and said: "You may have many purposes for studying international relations, but I guess that your ultimate goal is to one day be able to contribute to the country, or when you are in a foreign country, you can proudly say that I am Chinese, and I have a strong motherland behind me everywhere." ”

The students craned their necks, and Wang Maoru continued: "Students, you are not a politician, but the elite of your society, you will definitely lead the country in the future. Maybe in the next twenty or thirty years, you will be the important person in charge of the state department, and then you will know who is the enemy and who is the friend around China. Japan, for example, are they our enemies or friends? ”

"Enemy!" One student shouted.

"It must be the enemy!" More students shouted, shame on Jiawu, shame on Jiawu! Although the students were born after the First Five-Year War, they were particularly enthusiastic about the shame of the First Five-Year War.

No one would say that they were friends in Japan, and occasionally a few students would not dare to say anything even if they wanted to say it or had other identities.

Wang Maoru said with a smile: "I don't agree with this absolute point of view, if it is an enemy, we will fight them to the death, but why do many of us go to Japan to study?" Why do some people consider Japan their second home? ”

"Whoever regards Japan as his second home is a traitor."

Wang Maoru shook his head and said: "The martyr Mr. Qiu Jin regards Japan as his second hometown, is he also a traitor?" "The students can't fight, Qiu Jin is an anti-Qing hero, according to the theory of the students just now, isn't even a hero a traitor?

Wang Maoru said: "Actually. They are our enemies or friends, to put it this way, they are our friends when we need them, and if we don't need him, or if they hurt us, they are our enemies. This is not just true for Japan. This is true for any country in the world. Our traditional Confucianism requires that people should pay attention to benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, but between countries and countries, there is no need to talk about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, and this thing is a self-defeating act. There is only one link between the country and the national quality inspection. ”

"What bond?"

"Interests." Wang Maoru said with a smile. "We are friends with Japan today because they can bring us benefits, and we can bring benefits to them. But if Japan had found that it would have gained more to gain by attacking China, they would not have done this to us. Great Britain, France, United States. Between Germany, these countries and we, China, if they think that attacking China will make their interests greater, then they will not hesitate to raise a butcher's knife against us. However, there is another problem here, if the Chinese people like to be ruled and enslaved like Indians. China has long been a colony. But, students, the Chinese are the most peaceful and free race in the world, so any foreign enemy who attacks our huge ancient country will find that they will lose more benefits. Therefore, in my first lesson today, I will start with China's interests. This is also what the students are concerned about, why do foreigners have to open the Chinese market, and what has China contributed to the world? What is the attitude of foreigners towards Chinese? ”

Wang Maoru said: "Students, take out your notebook." Write down something that you think is important. I'll leave the homework for the first lesson to you, and remember that the core of last night's discussion was: Will the world's silver flow into China bring a blessing or a curse to China? I repeat, after the world's silver flows into China, will it bring a blessing or a curse to China? Well, now I want to start with the terrain of China, China's geographical location determines the character of our Chinese, restrained and modest, but explosive. Our southern China is a tropical jungle with 100,000 mountains, the east of China is the vast Pacific Ocean, the north of China is a cold ice field, the northwest of China is a desert, and the southwest is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. What brilliant cultural products did ancient China create? Silk, porcelain, rice paper, mirrors, silverware, works of art, cultural books, what were these for the ancient West and the Central Asian International? That's the Book of Heaven. In ancient China, it was called the Celestial Empire, and in the West, Italy, France, Germany, Spain, if there is a piece of porcelain, I will be obedient, and it must be supplied. What kind of people do they have? Aristocrats, the more status people have, the more. How much can a porcelain bowl be worth in China? How much was a hundred copper coins worth in the ancient West? A gold coin. How much is a gold coin worth in China? More than 10,000 copper coins. At that time, we were the Celestial Empire, and people from Western countries had to look at China with their heads down and envy on their faces. And what do Chinese think of Westerners? Struggling like a man looking at an animal. The Western world needs China so much, does China need something from the West? Yes, China needs Western heavy metals, that is, gold, silver and jewelry, because China has been a country with extremely scarce precious metals since ancient times......"

Wang Maoru's lecture lasted for three hours, with a break of 15 minutes, and then everyone hurriedly ran to the toilet, and hurriedly ran back to occupy a seat to listen to the class. The stories Wang Maoru told them were not as rigorous and rigid as those explained by teachers in the traditional sense, and some places even had the color of jokes, but this did not prevent the students from listening with relish. Most of the history they study comes from the 24 histories, and some students only understand the history of modern China and the general history of ancient China, and do not understand some of the economic, cultural and agricultural development of ancient China at all. For the first time, everyone knows the origin of the original name of the Japanese Japanese Invaders, and also knows the anecdote that Japan did not hesitate to wage war against Korea in order to pay tribute to China.

After three hours of speaking, Wang Maoru announced the end of the class, asking the students to find their own information after they went back, verify and discuss what he said today, and make his own opinions on the silver inflow at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty and the end of the Qing Dynasty, and then he announced the end of the class.

Back in President Cai's office, Wang Maoru smiled and said, "It's ugly, it's ugly." ”

Principal Cai said: "Xiusheng's explanation is interesting, but there are some places that people dare not agree. ”

Wang Maoru said: "Is Principal Cai going to argue with me?" ”

"That's exactly what I mean." Principal Cai said.

Wang Maoru said: "I'm afraid I don't have time now." ”

Principal Cai sighed and said, "Retreating from the battle, it's not a good teacher." ”

"A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall." Wang Maoru said with a smile.

Principal Cai couldn't laugh or cry.

After Wang Maoru returned home, there was an endless stream of visitors, but Duan Qirui said goodbye to Wang Maoru, saying that he had resigned from his post as a special adviser to the Ministry of National Defense and wanted to return to his hometown in Anhui. Wang Maoru asked him why he resigned, Duan Qirui smiled and said You are no longer the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Defense is very boring, and there will be no war in China within the year, he still doesn't waste time here, he is ready to return to his hometown in Anhui to do some charity to benefit his hometown. Wang Maoru originally hoped that Duan Qirui would return to Anhui by plane, but a few days ago, a transport plane at Nanyuan Airport crashed shortly after takeoff, and because it fell into a residential house, causing a tragedy of many deaths and injuries, Duan Qirui caused a psychological shadow, and he still decided to take a plane back, so Wang Maoru sent it to the ** railway station.

Wang Maoru became a temporary lecturer at Peking University, but many people sighed, it seems that people are scholars, even if they abandon literature and follow martial arts, they will not forget their origins. It seems that Wang Maoru's every move can now attract the attention of many people, and even foreign ambassadors have made a special trip to ask people to collect newspapers to take a look at Wang Maoru's recent movements.

After Wang Maoru became a lecturer at Peking University to talk about international relations, Japanese Emperor Hirohito even demanded that military agents obtain Wang Maoru's lecture notes, and that they should be complete and word-for-word. Later, I heard that there was a recording and asked that it be copied back. Japanese military agents spent a lot of money and experience to finally get a copy of the recording. Because President Cai thought that Wang Maoru's lecture needed to be recorded and used as the original archive, he asked people to use film to record Wang Maoru's lecture when he was lecturing, and used up 30 pieces of film. And it is precisely because of these thirty pieces of film that the Japanese agents made a loophole, secretly let a Japanese with a super memory listen to it, and retell it accurately after returning to Japan.

After listening to the Japanese translation, Hirohito was fascinated and said: "Mr. Xiusheng really deserves to be a rare talent in China for thousands of years, and one Wang Maoru is worth 20 divisions in Japan." Hirohito then ordered that Mr. Wang's lectures be made mandatory for Japanese cabinet officials, and that students be given the opportunity to teach them a subject that Japan had hoped to establish twelve years earlier.
