Wushu smiled: "Captain Wang guessed badly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThere are a lot of popular reading materials in our country, but no one will carry them with them at all times. What they held in their hands was the newspaper sponsored by the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce. Isn't there such a thing in the Great Xia Kingdom?"

Wang Yangming sighed, remembering that the encyclopedia had included the introduction of the nouns of Di Bao, and the heart of Khorezm was founded on commerce, and sure enough, the development level of the commodity economy was not comparable to that of Great Xia, and such a thing as Di Bao had been produced.

Originally, Di Bao was the predecessor of the newspaper, but where the commodity economy developed, people urgently needed to grasp commodity information, and they needed to find buyers and sellers when buying and selling. It is difficult to meet the needs of the way of selling, so there are organizations such as the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce, which publish information on the purchase and sale of goods and goods, and people only need to buy a copy of the newspaper to know where to sell what in the city and what to import, with this information, the merchants can have a purpose, buy and sell goods, and make a profit.

However, at the beginning of the birth of Di Bao, there was not such a large amount of information, so it came out in January or half a month, and the information was somewhat lagging behind. As for the advent of the tide of the commodity economy in the future, it was difficult for the newspaper to meet the demand, and with the progress of printing technology, the one-page daily, weekly, and monthly newspapers appeared, and the newspaper officially appeared. However, at present, Khorezm's commodity economy has not yet developed to that point, so it is still in the era of the newspaper.

Wang Yangming was very interested in the Di Bao and asked, "Is the Di Bao in this city the one run by the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce?"

Wushu said: "All the larger chambers of commerce will publish the Di Bao and publish the commodity information in different categories, Captain Wang was born in the army, I didn't expect to be so interested in the Di Bao, I asked the soldiers to buy you a few copies to take a look." He ordered the sergeant to go to the nearest newspaper office and bought a copy of the newspaper and gave it back to Wang Yangming.

Wang Yangming picked up those thin pamphlets and opened them, although he didn't understand the text on them, but he saw that the information listed was dense, and all of them were printed, Ye Qingmei helped him translate on the side, Wang Yangming saw that the above list was mainly a commodity, but occasionally there were some anecdotes, lace news, and even some gossip news of local city lords and famous gentry, Wang Yangming smiled: "Your country's remarks are open enough, and these gossip news can actually be published." ”

Wushu said: "China has always been open, and this information is for people's after-dinner pastime. However, there are also clear regulations in the country that Yiying Di Bao cannot be involved in political affairs, otherwise he will also be subject to lawsuits. ”

Wang Yangming said in his heart, Khorezm is a country of immigrants, various ethnic groups exchange and marry with each other, and the development of the commodity economy is good, so the atmosphere is much more open than that of Daxia, this country has a lot of shadows of the world in his previous life, but he misses his own world a little.

He pulled his thoughts back, returned the report to Wushu, and said, "It is very interesting in the general's country, and I like it very much. ”

Wushu said with a smile: "After the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries is completed, Captain Wang can follow Master Zhang back without being in a hurry, and stay in my country for three or five years, brother, I will definitely entertain you comfortably." ”

Wang Yangming shook his head and said: "After we go back, we will immediately prepare for the war, and the Northwest Army still urgently needs me to go back to serve, and it is definitely impossible to stay here for a long time." But in the future, if I have too much time to spare, I am willing to come and live in your country permanently. ”

Wushu was overjoyed when he heard this, and as long as Wang Yangming had a good impression of his country, his friendship with him would be deepened. deliberately greeted him at the moment, which made Wang Yangming feel like a spring breeze, and he hated that he hadn't met this Wushu general earlier.

Wang Yangming asked Wushu: "I see that the newspapers of your country are all printed, which shows that the printing technology of your country is very advanced. I don't know if you use block printing or movable type printing?"

Seeing that Wang Yangming had studied printing, Wushu praised: "Captain Wang is not only proficient in marching and fighting, martial arts practice, but also knows a lot about the economy of these scholars. As far as I know, my brother, movable type printing is already in common in our country, and it came from countries further west. ”

Wang Yangming said in his heart, although you are proficient in movable type printing in your country, but you traveled all the way to the west, and saw that the fifteen countries of the Western Regions are still in the stage of handwriting, it seems that this printing technology is regarded as an important national secret in Daxia or in Khorezm, and cannot be passed on to the remote and small countries in the Western Regions. He listened to Wushu talk about the country in the west, and said curiously: "My Great Xia Kingdom is located in the east, and I have always thought that the farthest west is Khorezm, listen to the general's meaning, there is still a country to the west?"

Wushu said: "My Khorezm is a vast sea to the west, I heard from far away that boatman, beyond that sea, is another continent, maybe it is the legendary Xiniu Hezhou, there are more than a dozen countries, large and small, the people in the country are all proficient in the mystic, and the appearance is also very different from ours. Some of those boaters were the people of those countries, who had crossed the ocean to do business, but I don't think they had any special abilities other than their strange appearances, so I would say that the fact that those people were proficient in the occult method was just a rumor, probably because people were curious about distant affairs. As for what the country is like over there, we really don't know. In the future, we may have the opportunity to send a fleet over there to have a look, and then we will know what that mysterious world looks like. ”

Wang Yangming nodded, and said in his heart that this world is so big here. If you follow the setting of your original world, Bactria is located in the east of Asia, and it goes west through the Western Regions to Khorezm, probably in the Persian Gulf, and then west is the border of Europe, where there are countries such as England, France, Germany, etc., separated from this side by the Mediterranean.

It's just that the Mediterranean Sea has always been calm, and it is surrounded by continents, not a vast ocean, and in this world, beyond Khorezm to the west is an endless sea, presumably it must be at least the Atlantic, Indian Ocean, and other oceans, it seems that the geography of this world is different from the world in the previous life, which makes him even more puzzled what kind of world this world is, is it really one of the countless parallel spaces?

His mind was so far away that he didn't even hear the vultures calling him. It wasn't until Ye Qingmei lightly touched his arm that he realized that everyone had walked to the door of a building. Wushu dismounted and said to Wang Yangming: "This is the post house in Istanbul, let's rest here tonight." I have asked the city lord to inform that a banquet will be held here tonight, and everyone will have a good meal, and the city lord will surely arrive later. ”
