Wu Nian was sitting 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 into a poor family, he still had a sense of nobility.
He is physically strong, powerful, and very powerful.
Mighty and noble.
He looked at the enthusiastic students in front with a smile and nodded gently.
Although a little biased, this world is indeed the world of young people. When young people are strong, the country is strong.
Young people are the backbone of Yanhan.
so good.
Soon, Wu Nian adjusted his mentality. He's also young and a great guy.
Um.
Wu Nian and the important ministers around him did not speak, and quietly watched the young people bloom with brilliance. Until the shouting gradually stopped.
They calmed down and sat back one by one.
"It's about communication. We could have talked about anything. But I came up with a topic today." After saying that, Wu Nian turned his head towards a soldier beside him and nodded gently.
The soldier immediately bent down to salute, turned around and walked away. Shortly after. The soldiers came up carrying a large screen. On the screen hung a map of the world that Wu Nian had someone draw.
Chu State, Goguryeo, Liaodong, Meng Yuan, and Fusang all have spheres of influence, but outside these forces, it is unknown.
A soldier came up with Wu Nian's globe and placed it next to the big map. In Wu Nian's hand, there was also an extra book called "The Han and the Thieves Are Not Alone".
The readers were surprised, stood up one after another, looked at the map and whispered.
"What is this? A map? But why is this map so big? Is there such a wide land on the other side of the sea? The combined area is probably larger than the three Chu states."
"What is this ball? The terrain above seems to be the same as a big map. Could it be that the general is trying to tell us this. Is the land under our feet a ball?"
"How is it possible?!!! If the ground under our feet was 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 deviant.
The scholars accepted it, but they were also deviant.
But for the earth is a ball.
Like Liu Zhixing, they couldn't accept it.
Not only the scholars, but also Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, Long Qie and other important ministers beside Wu Nian also looked at him sideways.
ball? ! ! ! !
Wu Nian did not talk about the ball issue immediately. He picked up the book "Han Thieves Do Not Stand Alone", stood up, walked to the big map, faced the readers, and raised the book, full of energy. Said: "This book is called Han Thieves Are Not Alone. It was compiled by Liu Changshi under my order."
"Its content is very simple. We, the descendants of Yanhan, wear Han clothes. We should not kowtow to people of any other ethnic group."
"When we encounter powerful peoples like the Xiongnu, Turks, and Mongolian Yuan who bully us, we should rise up and resist."
"I will have this book printed. Remember to read it morning and evening. Don't forget the national humiliation."
"Yes." The scholars showed serious expressions and bowed their hands.
Don’t forget the national humiliation.
In order to invade Liaodong, the Mongols first spread the plague. After that, wars continued, and they almost became the domestic slaves of the Mongolian people.
How can we forget this national humiliation?
Although readers don't know what this book is about yet, they already want to read it.
The name is also good.
Han thieves are not at odds with each other.
Wu Nian was very satisfied with the attitude of the readers and put down the book. He picked up the globe again, turned his back to the big map, and said, "I believe you are very curious about these two things."
"You guessed it right."
"I think the issue of a round sky and a square earth is open to question. Because no one can prove that the sky is round and the earth is square."
"Maybe the earth is flat? Or is it in another shape? Of course, it could also be a ball. An unimaginably huge sphere. So much so that when we stand on this ball, we don't feel that it is a ball."
"Of course. I can't prove what I said. So, don't rush to refute me. Show your evidence. The earth is not a ball."
"But until you can't prove it's not a ball, I'm going to assume it is a ball."
At this point, Wu Nian changed the topic and said with a smile: "Of course. Our theme today is not this ball."
"It's the countries on this map. Meng Yuan, Goguryeo, Fusang, and Chu."
"No need to say more about Meng Yuan. I will fight it to the death. But what about Goguryeo? It seems to have an unclear relationship with Meng Yuan."
"What about Fuso? It annexed Ryukyu. Does it want to further annex Liaodong? If so, how should we defend ourselves?"
"Where's Chu State? How do we conquer Shanhaiguan?"
"Today, let's talk about this."
Scholars think that Wu Nian did this on purpose. Compared with these things, they care more about whether the earth is a ball.
A ball? Not a ball?
Or is it flat?
Wu Nian will not act without aim. Many scholars are willing to believe what Wu Nian said, well, then the earth is a ball.
But how to prove that it is a ball?
If there is a positive, then there must be a negative.
Opposition. Want to prove that the earth is not a ball.
Wu Nian smiled slightly at this, full of curiosity. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.
Liberate these young, passionate readers from the Confucian classics. Let them devote themselves to more meaningful things.
For example, is the earth a round ball?
For example, take the current international situation in Northeast Asia. How to deal with it. Enemies, potential enemies. Diplomacy or war.
Whether to defend or attack.
Not only that, there can be many topics.
How to develop the population and how to increase productivity after the population is saturated.
This kind. It is much better than holding on to Confucian classics and studying hard.
Put aside the issue of ball or not.
Wu Nian's communication with the scholars this time did not reveal any reason.
The scholars had no way to help him and broke into Shanhaiguan. He couldn't tell him whether Goguryeo was an enemy or a friend, and how to defend against the potential threat of the Fusang people.
Readers seem to gain something, but they seem to gain nothing.
But there is one thing. Is the earth round, flat or square? This will be a topic of discussion for countless years until someone out of curiosity proves it.
This exchange meeting ended successfully. Wu Nian took a carriage and returned to Jiang County with the important officials.
Long Qie galloped up on his horse, arrived at Wu Nian's carriage, and asked in a low voice: "General. Is the earth really a ball?"
Wu Nian in the carriage was surprised. He quickly smiled and said, "I can't prove it."
Long Qie looked depressed. You can tell a lie. Is the earth a ball?
"drive!!!"
The team was heading towards Jiang County when suddenly a fast horse galloped towards them. After passing through heavy guards, the official on horseback came to Wu Nian's carriage and whispered: "General. The envoy from Goguryeo is here."
Wu Nian looked surprised.
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao arrived when he mentioned Cao Cao.
We just talked about the international situation.
Wasn’t the Queen Mother of Goguryeo at odds with the Meng Yuan people? During the drought, food was blocked from me.
If it hadn't been for Kyogoku Yuki's rescue, I would have been able to lead millions of people to fight to support war.
Now, she sent an envoy to me?
interesting.
