Wu Nian sat on the main seat, wearing a purple brocade robe, a gold crown on his head, and a jade belt around his waist. Although he was born poor, he also has a sense of nobility.

He is physically strong, imposing, and very powerful.

Majestic and extravagant.

He smiled at the enthusiastic students in front of him and bowed his head slightly.

Although it is a bit biased, this world is indeed the world of young people. The youth is strong, the country is strong.

Young people are the backbone of Yan Han.

That's great.

Soon, Wu Nian adjusted his mentality. He's also young, and he's a great guy.

Well.

Wu Nian and the important ministers around him did not speak, quietly watching the young people bloom brightly. Until the shouting gradually stopped.

They calmed down and sat back one by one.

"Communicate. Anything could have been talked about. But I came up with a theme today. With that, Wu Nian turned his head to a pro-soldier beside him and bowed his head slightly.

The soldiers immediately bowed and saluted, turned and walked down. Soon after. The soldiers walked up carrying a large screen, on which hung a map of the world that Wu Nian had drawn by him.

Chu, Goguryeo, Liaodong, Mengyuan, and Fusang all had spheres of influence, but outside of these forces, they were unknown.

A pro-soldier walked up with Wu Nian's globe and placed it next to the large map. In Wu Nian's hand, there is also an extra book of [Han and Thief Are Not Separated].

The readers were surprised, stood up, looked at the map and whispered.

"What is this? Maps? But why is this map so big? On the other side of the sea, is there such a vast land? The combined area is probably larger than the three Chu states. ”

"What's this ball? The terrain on top of this is like a big map. General Fei is going to use this to tell us. Is the ground beneath our feet a ball? ”

"How is that possible?!!! If the ground under our feet were a ball, would we be able to stand firm?"

Readers are relatively receptive to new things. Wu Nian's change of traditional Confucian teaching was already a deviance.

The readers accepted it, and they were also deviant.

But for the earth is a ball.

They, like Liu Zhixing, can't accept it.

Not only the readers, but also Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, Long and the important ministers beside Wu Nian also looked sideways.

Ball?!!!!

Wu Nian didn't talk about the problem of the ball for the first time, picked up the book [Han and Thief Are Not Separate], stood up, walked to the big map, faced the readers, held up the book, and said with a full of anger: "This book is called Han and Thief are not separate." It was compiled by Liu Changshi on my orders. ”

"It's simple. We are the children of the Yan Han, and the Han people are well-dressed. There should be no grovel to people of any other nation. ”

"When we encounter such powerful nations as the Xiongnu, Turks, and Mengyuan and bully us, we should rise up and resist."

"I'll have this book printed, and you remember to read it sooner or later. Don't forget the national shame. ”

"Yes." The readers looked serious and bowed over.

Don't forget the national shame.

In order to invade Liaodong, the Mengyuan people first spread the plague. After the war, they almost became the house slaves of the Mengyuan people.

How can you forget this national shame?

Although people don't know what the book is about, they already want to read it.

The name is good, too.

The man and the thief do not stand apart.

Wu Nian was very satisfied with the attitude of the readers, and then put the book down. Then he picked up the globe, turned his back to the map, and said, "I'm sure you're curious about these two things. ”

"You guessed it right."

"I think the matter of the round sky is up for debate. For no one can prove that the heavens are round and the earth square. ”

"Maybe the earth is flat? Or something else? Of course, it could also be a ball. An unimaginably massive sphere. So much so that when we stand on this ball, we don't feel like it's a ball. ”

"Of course. I can't prove what I said. So. Don't be in a hurry to contradict me. You show the evidence that the earth is not a ball. ”

"But until you can prove that it's not a ball, then I'll assume it's a ball."

Speaking of this, Wu Nian changed his words and said with a smile: "Of course." Today our topic is not this ball. ”

"It's the country on this map. Mengyuan, Goguryeo, as well as Fusang and Chu. ”

"Meng Yuan doesn't need to say much. I'll fight it to the death. But what about Goguryeo? It seems to have an ambiguous relationship with Meng Yuan. ”

"What about Fuso? It annexed the Ryukyus, does it want to further annex my Liaodong? If so, how can we defend against it? ”

"What about the state of Chu. How do we lay down Shanhaiguan? ”

"Today, let's talk about that."

Readers felt that Wu Nian was doing it on purpose. More concerned than these things, they are more concerned about whether the earth is a ball or not.

A ball? Not a ball?

Or is it flat?

Wu Nian will not be untargeted. Many readers are willing to believe Wu Nian's words, well, then the earth is a ball.

But how do you prove that it's a ball?

There is a positive side, then there must be a negative side.

Opposition. I want to prove that the earth is not a ball.

Wu Nian smiled at this, full of curiosity. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

Liberate these young, enthusiastic scholars from the Confucian classics. Let them devote themselves to something more meaningful.

For example, whether the earth is a sphere or not.

For example, the current international situation in Northeast Asia. How to deal with it. Enemies, potential enemies. Is it diplomacy or war.

Whether to defend or attack.

Not only that, but there can be many topics.

How to develop the population, and how to increase productivity after the population is saturated.

This kind. It's much better than holding Confucian classics and reading to death.

Leave aside the question of whether the ball is not the ball.

Wu Nian's communication with the readers this time did not come to an end.

The scholars had no way to help him and attack the Shanhaiguan. Nor can he tell him whether Goguryeo is a friend or foe, and how to defend against the potential threat of the Fusang.

Readers seem to have gained something, and they seem to have gained nothing.

But there is a point. Whether the earth is round or flat or square. This will be the subject of conversation for countless years until someone proves it out of curiosity.

This exchange meeting ended smoothly and successfully. Wu Nian rode in a carriage and returned to Jiangxian County with his ministers.

Long Ji rode his horse and rushed up, arrived next to Wu Nian's carriage, and asked in a low voice, "General." Is the earth really a ball? ”

Wu Nian in the carriage was surprised, quickly smiled, and then said, "I can't prove it." ”

Long and his face was depressed, it's okay for you to lie, is the earth a ball or not?

"Driving !!"

The team was heading towards Jiang County, when suddenly a fast horse galloped over. After being heavily guarded, the officer on horseback came to the side of Wu Nian's carriage and whispered, "General." The envoys of Goguryeo came. ”

Wu Nian showed a look of surprise.

I didn't expect to say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.

I just talked about the international situation.

Isn't the queen mother of Goguryeo unclear with the Mengyuan people? During the drought, food was blocked from me.

If it weren't for the help in the snow in the Kyogoku, I would have been able to take millions of people with me to feed the war.

Now, she has sent an envoy to me?

Interesting.
