Chapter 266: Xu Xia is here

Wang Hongyu was surprised and delighted when he saw the book he was reading.

The three books that this person is holding are "Notes on the Book of Water", "Dream Creek Writings" and the newly translated "Decades of Living in the New World", which is too surprising.

"Hehe, those who had wishes in the past took the bait, and now there are people looking for mountains and rivers, what I said is right, General Wang?"

The scribe sat on the ground, his eyes still reading carefully, but he said this softly.

Wang Hongyu also smiled slightly, ignoring Zhang Mingshi's obstruction, and sat beside him: "When I came over, you found out, right?"

"Indeed, because even if it is free to read books, there are very few people who specialize in landscape geography~"

The scribe turned his face, and it was obviously an ordinary face, but there was a very strong sense of conviction.

"Let me introduce myself, Xu Hongzu, a native of Jiangyin, Nanzhili, likes to travel in the mountains and rivers, sorry for disturbing me many times."

Xu Hongzu......

"Could it be Mr. Xu Xiake?"

"Exactly, a certain Hongzu, the word Zhenzhi, and the number Xiake. Only some friends who like to travel in the mountains and rivers call me that, and General Wang even knows? ”

Wang Hongyu laughed and said: "Mr. has been in and out of Yunyang Mountain many times, and I have to investigate~"

Zhang Mingshi shook his head in his heart, he had investigated for several days, and he didn't know who this person's surname was, it seemed that Qin Ling found out. In the future, the army will not collect at night, and you must learn how to scout in the town......

Of course he guessed wrong, even if he asked Qin Ling to check, he would find out that his name was Xu Hongzu at most, and it was difficult to know that his name was Xu Xiake.

This is, of course, because Wang Hongyu knew Xu Xiake's deeds well in later generations.

Looking at the healthy wheat-colored scribe in front of him, holding a geography book and loving it, Wang Hongyu smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Xu Xiake: "Uh, the general is laughing at me?"

"No, I'm laughing at such a good book, but there is only one martial artist and a child, exploring the mystery here~"

"Hahahaha!" Xu Xiake also laughed, he was just a child, he didn't get a student, and Lian Xiucai was not.

If he didn't pretend to be a showman, the literati doctor would not treat Xu Xiake as a kind of person at all.

On the contrary, Takeo was willing to sit down and read these books with him, which had nothing to do with fame.

It was all a misunderstanding before, Xu Xiake introduced his intention, it turned out that he came to Yunyang to play, walked all over the Hanshui coast, and was very interested in the bamboo sea in the mountains such as Zhushan and Zhuxi, so he saw the scene of Tuntian in the mountains.

He is not disgusted with the development of mountains and forests, but likes people and mountains and rivers to form a just right combination.

Wang Hongyu appreciates him very much, neither humble nor arrogant, not extreme or withdrawn, although he has not become a showman, but his realm is not much stronger than Hanlin.

"Dare to ask Xiake, is there a variety of mountains and forests loaded into the game?"

"Yes~" Xu Xiake unfolded his travelogue and talked endlessly.

He likes remote mountains and rivers the most, and he personally witnesses and writes about them, leaving an invaluable travelogue.

This travelogue is not trivial, but it is a work that shines brightly in human history, as it visits the land of China, truly records the landforms of mountains and rivers, and traces the roots of rivers.

Although it is only the second stage of his play, and there are still many years to wait for the third and fourth stages of the Travelogue, he has already begun to explore and deeply understand the world.

Wang Hongyu made so many books, just to gather these talents from the late Ming Dynasty to the late Ming Dynasty and gather everyone to reverse the times together.

Song Yingxing is the first, and Xu Xiake is the second......

Song Yingxing and Xu Xiake can have the soft power that the world envies.

China has fully achieved the first place in the world in soft power, rather than economic prosperity and cultural short-leggedness.

But soft power must be built on hard power.

Military victory was necessary, because from the late Ming Dynasty to the end of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how different the ideology and culture were, they were finally "persuaded by physics" and a large number of books were banned.

For example, Song Yingxing's "Heavenly Creations" was lost under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and finally relied on the island country to circulate, and it was introduced in turn at the end of the Qing Dynasty.

This is something that Wang Hongyu will never allow to happen.

In particular, Huaxia, regardless of Tang Ming, used local forces to violently beat the peak of the island country's combat power.

Jiangnan was also more prosperous than Nagasaki and Satsuma in Kyushu at any time, but it was completely shameful to be overtaken by it.

Therefore, we must use force to protect all this, and use economic and military hard power to tell the world that Xu Xiake, Song Yingxing and others are the treasures of the country.

The two exchanged "Notes on the Book of Water", of course Xu Xiake had read this book, but he couldn't carry it when he went out on a long trip, and some of the content gradually became unfamiliar, and he had a deep understanding of reading this book halfway.

Moreover, we can see the geographical changes over the past thousand years, which proves the authenticity of them.

Although Wang Hongyu has seen and heard in this regard, he has no intention of making an axe.

But he has a "treasure".

Wang Hongyu pointed to the book and smiled: "Mr. is reading "Decades of Living in the New World"?"

Xu Xiake's eyes lit up: "Yes, the place here is amazing, the boundless rainforest?" I'm afraid there aren't so many in Yunnan. ”

"yes, there's the largest rainforest in the world. I can sponsor my husband to go on an expedition, but he can go to Lijiang first to explore the strange mountains and rivers and beautiful rainforests of Yunnan and Guangxi, and then it is not too late to go. ”

Wang Hongyu's words are by no means a joke, which of course makes Xu Xiake like a treasure.

He then introduced the Amazon River, which during the rainy season becomes a huge wetland like an ocean.

Of course, it is not suitable for survival, but for Xu Xiake, what Wang Hongyu said in his mouth is like a god realm outside the world.

How many species of plants will be there? What kind of strange animals will there be? What kind of strange rocks will there be?

If it were someone else, it might seem that Wang Hongyu was telling a fairy tale, but Xu Xiake has seen and heard a lot of things, and is very good at summing up and thinking, he can imagine the difference between the rainy season and the dry season, and he can be sure that such a world is reasonable.

looked at the book in his hand, and instantly felt that the records in the book were not as true as Wang Hongyu's.

"Don't just listen to me, you have to listen to Mr. Xiake in the future."

Wang Hongyu saw that Xu Xiake was fascinated by what he heard, so he took it when it was time to accept it, and took out a book from the bookshelf and handed it to Xu Xiake.

"Navigation & Tourism~"

Seeing the tourism, Xu Xiake became interested and immediately looked at it.

Giovanni Battista Lamusio of Venice wrote his remarkable three-volume collection of essays, Voyages and Travels, which contains accounts of various voyages to the Near and Far East, Africa, and the New World.

This book was translated by Jin Nige, Xu Guangqi, and Wang Zheng when they were in the capital.

The Ming Dynasty had a lot of trade with Southeast Asia, which in turn had close ties with South Asia, and South Asia traded with the Ottomans, Portugal and Africa.

This book was written by the Venetians, who had previously been the biggest profiteers in the maritime trade at the time of the rise of Megalia.

This book has a stronger global outlook, and has written a lot about the tourist scenery in various places, which is more accessible than the one on Life in the Americas.

"We can also publish such a book in the Ming Dynasty~"
