Chapter Forty-Four: I Have Half a False Word, and I Will Be Sent by Heaven!
Li Qingzhao trembled slightly in his heart, in that place, a small Zhuangzi is the worst family, the house is also like a fairy palace, a dog raised by the family eats much richer than the Great Song Dynasty, and the landlords with thousands of acres of land eat well, and even she Li Qingzhao is already considered the top and richest class in the Great Song Dynasty, but ...... Beef can't be eaten dozens of times a year, not to mention the amount of beef in that pot of braised beef bibimbap described in the book is not ordinary.
"Is it true?"
Li Qingzhao looked down in a trance.
in this book.
Qin Xian Ao was shocked and felt incredible, but found that the white dog did not finish the pot of meat, but walked to the side to play with a flower cat halfway through eating.
Qin Xianao was even more stunned.
Then he found out that the big white dog was different from the dogs he had seen in the Great Song Dynasty, not because of different breeds, but that most of the dogs in the Great Song Dynasty were skinny, with dull and dirty coats, while the white dog was fat and strong, with shiny fur, and even the yellow and clear collar around his neck seemed to be a gold collar inlaid with diamonds.
......
Soon the first chapter was serialized.
"Travels to the Immortal Country" only wrote that Qin Xianao entered the courtyard of that family, but the impact on Li Qingzhao was huge.
"The gap between the rich and the poor in my Great Song Dynasty is extremely serious, and it is not impossible for the really rich to eat meat every day, and even beef, but to feed the dog with beef, even if they have the financial resources, they don't have the courage to bear the fingers of others, and the small mountain village there is actually ...... the poorest family."
"The windows of this person's house are all transparent, exquisite crystal (actually glass), this kind of crystal is ...... in my Great Song Dynasty."
"Looking through the window into the room, there are stacks of fruit on the table, and these fruits are ......"
......
It is extremely exquisite, and it can't be bought with money in the Great Song Dynasty. The crystal is so beautiful that it is used to make windows, and the house is not only about the walls, floors, furniture, etc., but only the fruits, summer fruits and winter fruits are placed on the table.
The realm of immortals is only the tip of the iceberg, but the shock brought by this corner is great.
"Is there really such a kingdom in the world?"
Li Qingzhao looked down.
The following is an announcement written by Qin Xianao.
"My ancestor Qin Xian Ao accidentally drifted to a continent due to an accident on a sea ship. The people here are all mortals, no different from the people of my Great Song Dynasty, and everything here is generally similar to my Great Song Dynasty......"
"The difference is a millimeter, a thousand miles away, and the same is true for the development of the nation and the country. Cars, airplanes, ships, computers, lights...... With the help of utensils. People fly in the sky and shuttle to the bottom of the sea...... Everything you haven't seen, you can't imagine, is about to unfold before your eyes......"
"My Great Song Dynasty has been called the Heavenly Empire since ancient times, is this really the case?"
......
"I hereby guarantee that the political system, economy, education, and all other universal things related to the livelihood of the people mentioned in the "Travels to the Kingdom of the Immortals" that I have written exist all exist.
......
Seeing this, Li Qingzhao's body trembled.
"If there is a half-truth. Will you be sent by heaven?" Li Qingzhao's face was extremely heavy.
Although there are many people in this era who do not believe in the existence of ghosts and gods, they are still very reverent of the heavens. Swearing, even the most unbelieving in God, is extremely cautious.
"Could it be...... Is the "Journey to the Immortal Country" he said real?" Li Qingzhao's hand trembled slightly.
Although the above "Travels to the Immortal Country" is only a small part of the record, the style of this part of the record is extremely absurd, not to mention the use of crystal as a window, and the dogs eat better than the richest people in the Great Song Dynasty, etc.
"If that's true. That ......"
In this announcement, Qin Xianao said that he would serialize the long memoir "Travels in the Immortal Country" in the New Youth Newspaper, describing his ancestor Qin Xianao's experiences in the Immortal Country, and the first volume of "Travels in the Immortal Country" has been written into a book, and it will be published simultaneously in the major cities of the Great Song Dynasty in seven days.
And he competed with Duan Haifeng this time. It has been basically determined that it is related to this immortal country.
......
Luoyang newspaper office is not far from a room.
"Sheng Dynasty!"
Guo Yuanyuan walked into the house with the newspaper in her hand, and Gao Tianlai, Feng Xiaowan, Mrs. Wang, and Mu Wanqing were all behind her.
"Is there really someone named Qin Xianao in your ancestor? I remember that the ancestor of Qinjiazhai is Qin Gongwang, why are you here, and you still swear to ......gamble and curse" Guo Yuanyuan's face was very serious, this issue of the newspaper was due to some things, and she didn't know in advance about the announcement of the article written by the Qin Dynasty at the end.
"Qin Xianao is fictional. Qin Chao said with a smile.
"What?"
The women's eyes widened.
"Are you kidding?" Guo Yuanyuan said in a deep voice.
"Am I joking? Not only is Qin Xianao fictional, but my ancestors have not been in business and have been blown by the sea breeze to any immortal realm. ”
Rumble!
The faces of all the women in the whole room changed, Mu Wanqing, Ah Zhu, and Ah Bi were all pale, and their bright eyes looked at the Qin Dynasty.
There are gods in the head, how can the oath of this era be exported at will, the Qin Dynasty not only swore a curse here, but also wrote this oath in the newspaper and published it in front of the whole world.
"Definitely, it must have been my father's joke. Mu Wanqing shouted.
Guo Yuanyuan's body shook, as if she was about to fall, Gao Tianlai even helped her, looked at her very poor face, and then looked at Qin Chao: "Qin Gongzi, this is not a joke, what do you mean?"
"Although we are in this ball ......," Qin Chao said in a deep voice.
"Balls?"
Gao Tianlai and Feng Xiaowan were puzzled.
Qin Chao said: "That's right, we should be on a ball, not a floating continent. ”
Gao Tianlai and Feng Xiaowan frowned.
"In this era, in this time and space, there is no such kingdom on this earth, but everything I will talk about in that country is absolutely real. Qin Chao said.
"Why?"
"Because those are not of my imagination, but of reasoning. ”
"Reasoned?"
Guo Yuanyuan's body shook again, Ah Zhu, Ah Bi, and Mu Wanqing glared at Qin Chao fiercely, and everyone could see the worry and concern and anger in their eyes. Feng Xiaowan opened her mouth slightly.
"Maniac!"
"Qin Gongzi, I, Feng Xiaowan, have really convinced you today, you are ruthless. Worse than our Demon Gate!"
Gao Tianlai looked at Qin Chao coldly, his eyes were incredible.
"If the world is in a certain way. Qin Chao said with a flat face, "Instead of developing like this, human beings have more and more principles of all things, and they will become more and more able to control these principles of all things and create new things that have never been seen before." With the accumulation of knowledge, the so-called people can go up to the moon for nine days and catch turtles in the five seas, everything I said in my book is just a simple matter. ”
"But they haven't shown up yet. ”
"If you don't appear, it doesn't mean you don't appear, and the world is so big, and the universe is so vast. It's unimaginable to you, and it's likely that at such a time, on a planet far away, there is everything I said in the realm of immortals. Qin Chao said lightly.
"Qin Gongzi, you are gambling with your life. The expression in Gao Tianlai's eyes was extremely complicated.
"It's not a gamble, but I'm 100% sure that everything I talk about in my book, such as the political system, economy, education, and people's livelihood, will be real, because the content of my oath doesn't say the name of the person in it, my ancestor Qin Xianao. My grandfather's deeds and so on are also real. ”
"You ......"
Gao Tianlai stared at the Qin Dynasty.
"Young Master Qin. Feng Xiaowan sighed softly, and looked at the Qin Dynasty with an extremely complicated look. "You are willing to gamble your idea with your life, Xiao Wan really convinced you this time, in the future, Xiao Wan can help you, and will try to help you, because I also want to see. If you continue to play like this, what will become of this world?"
"Father. ”
Mu Wanqing suddenly spoke: "I believe in you, I believe that what you said can really happen." ”
"Huh?"
Everyone looked at Mu Wanqing, and Mrs. Wang suddenly smiled: "Dad's ability, you don't know." Wanqing and I know very well. Both of them thought that they were developing and improving the telegraph system, the telegraph system can transmit information for thousands of miles, and such a magical thing, before it appeared, everyone would think that it was impossible, and the flying sphere, printing, before the Qin Dynasty made it, how many people believed it?
Guo Yuanyuan looked at Mrs. Wang and Mu Wanqing, and suddenly her eyes lit up slightly, and she also thought of the telegraph system, the flying sphere, and the printing technique.
Guo Yuanyuan's face returned to a hint of redness.
"Sheng Dynasty, is this worth it?" Guo Yuanyuan sighed lightly.
Qin Chao knew what she meant.
Why do you want to write such a book of travels in the country of immortals, if there are modern people here, you can see the thoughts of the Qin Dynasty at a glance, the so-called "Travels in the Kingdom of Immortals" is actually a book that imitates the book "Marco Polo's Travels" that has had a huge impact in the West and is considered to be the key to the cause of the Western Renaissance.
What really led to the rise of Europe, from the feudal era to the capitalist era, was the 'Renaissance', a large-scale ideological and cultural movement that originated in Italy and spread to Western European countries.
The Renaissance brought about a revolution in science and art, and opened the prelude to the history of modern Europe.
But why did the Renaissance begin?
There has been a lot of debate in the academic world, but most scholars in the West agree that many scholars from Eastern Rome (Byzantium) fled to Western Europe with a large number of ancient Greek and Roman art treasures and books on literature, history, and philosophy, thus starting the Renaissance.
But this point is beyond scrutiny.
There are many reasons for this, like why did the Eastern Rome itself not have a Renaissance, but brought things to the Western Rome, and the gold glowed?
Why is it that the Geometry Primitives, which they have always been proud of, have been handed down, while these Eastern Roman cultural books have been lost and still advertise the Geometry Primitives to the outside world, instead of promoting these newly discovered books that are far more important than the Geometry Primitives?
......
In short, it is clear from all the obvious factors that the revival of Italy caused by the return of ancient books from the Eastern Romans.
The real reason is hard to accept.
It was a book, a book that was a bestseller in Italy at the time, and now seems ridiculous, and which, as soon as it was published, was widely available in Italy a few months later. The great wealth and grandeur of China described in the book brought great vibrations to the 'dark' Europe of the time.
Of course, it was also considered absurd by some people at the time, and even many of Marco Polo's friends persuaded him to delete some absurd parts of the book. But later, some travelers, some explorers, proved that some of the absurdities in the book were real.
Therefore, the Western scholar Maurice Corliss believes that Marco Polo's travels is an enlightenment work, which is tantamount to deafening employment for the closed Europeans, leading to a widespread revival of European humanities.
At that time, the transportation between the east and the west was extremely inconvenient.
After reading Marco Polo's travels, Westerners were greatly shocked, especially some foreign explorers, who proved that some of the absurdities in the book were actually real, so Westerners took their imaginary Oriental civilization as a template and example, started the Renaissance, and then it was out of control.
......
"In feudal China, it was like a pool of stagnant water, and it was a pool of stagnant water that was tightly covered, and the water in the pool was already full, and no matter how fresh the water outside, it could not flow in. "Western civilization to the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty can be said to be a large influx into the East, but no one cares at all, the Ming and Qing dynasties Western science and technology has been much higher than the East, at that time can not bombard the Confucian cultural circle, if not the first, the second Opium War, the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China, the First Sino-Japanese War......
"At that time, the new doctrine did not attract real attention, and now I throw out the new philosophical ......"
Just as "Marco Polo's Travels" appeared in Italy, and then the books brought into Italy by the Eastern Romans could work and trigger the Renaissance.
The Qin Dynasty also needed to complete the 'enlightenment' work first, which led to the "Travels of the Immortals" similar to "Marco Polo's Travels". (To be continued......)
