"Nothing can be achieved overnight, and the same is true for preaching national righteousness. And if you want to make a small success, you can't just talk nonsense, but do things in a down-to-earth manner. What I mean is, first of all, to run a newspaper......"

Chen Dexing knocked on the table and explained his own method to Wen Tianxiang, who had become a nationalist.

After the party on the evening of the third day of the Lunar New Year, the champion of the Japanese University of Literature went to Chen Dexing's house every day, often chatting for several hours, and became a good friend. And the content of the conversation between the two is, of course, related to the promotion of national righteousness.

In fact, the Chinese in the Southern Song Dynasty still had a little national righteousness, but they were relatively hazy and could not be compared with the nationalism of later generations -- otherwise, Jia Xiangdao might have shouted the slogan of "100 million total jade pieces." If this is the case, no matter how much Kublai Khan uses his soldiers like a god, it will be in vain. And the concept of nationalism, to put it bluntly, is the result of propaganda brainwashing! At least that's what Chen thinks.

Although it is still the 13th century, the literacy rate of the people of the Great Song Dynasty and their sense of identity and honor of the Han nation will definitely not be worse than that of the Chinese in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China more than 600 years later. Even to put it mildly, the Han people in the People's Republic more than 700 years later have a sense of identity and honor for their own nation, which may not be comparable to the Han people in the land of the Southern Song Dynasty at this time!

At least, Chen Dexing had never heard of those wealthy businessmen and bureaucrats who took foreign women as concubines, and that the children of foreign women were registered as Fanren people.

Moreover, due to the long-term war with the Tatar regime occupying the Central Plains, the Southern Song Dynasty has always exalted the righteousness of the Han nation. Therefore, the Southern Song Dynasty did not lack nationalist soil, and the reason why it did not bear the fruit of the nation-state was related to the fact that the rulers of the Southern Song Dynasty had to bow their knees and surrender from time to time; Second, it is also related to the lack of sophisticated propaganda and education methods.

For example, the court of the Southern Song Dynasty never thought of using "tabloids" for propaganda, and because "tabloids" always published some inside stories of the imperial court, and there were many untruths, they regarded them as illegal publications, and they were repeatedly ordered to prohibit them. In addition, the Southern Song Dynasty court was always not resolute enough on the issue of purging traitors, and never formed a strong anti-traitor atmosphere in the country. This may be because the Southern Song Dynasty itself was full of compromisers and did not have the determination to fight the Northern Prisoners to the end.

Chen Dexing paused and said: "I will find a way to raise the funds for running the newspaper, and now it is 200 copper per month, and it can be increased in the future." ”

Hearing Chen Dexing's proposal for the newspaper funding, Wen Tianxiang smiled: "I don't care about this matter, I'm not very impatient, and I can't do the details." ”

Chen Dexing nodded, he knew that the champion of Wenda would not do business - the tabloids of the Southern Song Dynasty in this era were actually a business, and they were all made by some big measures who could not pass the Jinshi examination to make money, and the champions of the world's great leaders naturally disdained it.

"I'll find someone else to do the details, but I can't find this scholar who writes articles." Chen Dexing didn't intend to let Zhuang Yuanlang do newspaper distribution, he planned to use Wen Tianxiang's champion name and appeal among scholars.

"It's on me." Wen Tianxiang smiled and nodded.

When he was discussing, he heard a knock on the door outside, and then Chen Defang came in, with an expression of adoration for the champion of Wenda on his face. Chen Dexing's eldest brother is actually a good man with both civil and military skills, of course, the article can't compare to Wen Tianxiang, but in the competition of martial arts and the art of war, three or five Wen Tianxiang plus one is not an opponent...... Chen Defang's martial arts and tactics are not fancy, they are all the battle formations taught by Chen Huaiqing! But his mind is full of only high reading, and he worships Wen Tianxiang as a literary star!

At this time, I saw him respectfully saluting Wen Tianxiang, and then said to Chen Dexing: "Second brother, there is a Xiucai who claims to be Jia Lin and a businessman surnamed Qu who ask to meet. ”

Chen Dexing smiled and said, "It's just right to come, there is a shopkeeper in charge of the tabloid business." As he spoke, he didn't get up to greet him, but asked his eldest brother to invite the two into his study.

"Gongwei, what you want has been made." Qu Fatzi didn't recognize Wen Tianxiang, and just gave Chen Dexing a salute, but he didn't take out the polished crystal piece, but just glanced at Zhao Lin'er flatteringly. And Zhao Lin'er, needless to say, naturally looked at Chen Dexing with affection.

"Brother Jia." Chen Dexing beckoned to her, "Sit down." ”

"Hmm." The little girl jumped up and down to Chen Dexing's side, and Qu Fatzi flattered and moved a chair over, and instead of sitting, he respectfully invited Zhao Lin'er to sit - what kind of person is the fat man, who hasn't seen it in Yujie Pengqiao for so many years? If you can't recognize Zhao Lin'er as the daughter of a nobleman, it's really a fool.

"Brother Qingzhi, this is for you." A pair of pink and tender little hands held a box and handed it to Chen Dexing.

Chen Dexing took it and opened it, and there were six polished crystal pieces inside, two of which were lenses with high transparency, which were polished with the high-grade crystal materials provided by Zhao Lin'er. The other four pieces are ground by ordinary crystal, but the transparency is also okay.

"Water mirrors? How can it be concave? Wen Tianxiang recognized the water mirror, but he had never seen a water mirror ground into a concave surface.

Chen Dexing stood up, walked to the edge of the shelf placed against the wall, took a long cylinder rolled into cowhide that he had made people, and then distributed the two convex lenses on both ends of the long tube, and then handed the long cylinder to Wen Tianxiang.

"Wenshan, just look at it."

"This is ......" Wen Tianxiang took the long tube and looked at it, then put one eye on one end of the long tube, and aimed the other end of the long tube at Chen Dexing, only to look at it and shouted, "Ah, Qingzhi, why did you turn it upside down?" ”

"Upside down? What do you mean? Zhao Lin'er was curious, blinked her eyes and said, "Brother Wen, aren't you dazzled?" ”

When Wen Tianxiang heard this, he actually rubbed his eyes with his hands, and then looked at Chen Dexing with this simple monocular, "It's not a flower, it's still upside down...... It's a big head, that is, the chin is on the top and the hair is on the bottom! ”

"I'll take a look, I'll take a look......" Zhao Lin'er shouted and took the binoculars, and also looked at Chen Dexing like Wen Tianxiang, and then looked at Wen Tianxiang, and then leaned forward and leaned back and laughed, "Haha, the two big heads, both are upside-down, this thing is so fun, fatty, how do you grind your water mirror?" Is it worn out? ”

"It's worn out...... How can it be? I'll take a look......" Qu Fatzi hurriedly took the telescope and looked at it, "this, this, this...... How so? How so? ”

Chen Dexing stretched out his hand to take the telescope, replaced one of the lenses with a concave lens, and handed it to Wen Tianxiang.

"It's coming again, this ...... Is it a trick? ”

"Tricks? I'll see, I'll see. "Zhao Lin'er took the telescope and looked at it again, Chen Dexing inside was just a little bigger, and he didn't know how many sizes he was upside down." Really, what a trick...... Brother Chen, are you really good at juggling? ”

Chen Dexing shook his head and said with a smile: "Where can I do any tricks, but occasionally I find two convex water mirrors stacked on top of each other, and I can see things as upside down." It's just that I don't know the reason, and I played a little trick today to make people laugh. ”

As he spoke, he handed a loaded telescope to Wen Tianxiang: "Brother Wenshan, this is for you." ”
