【Chapter 674】The World Is So Big......

(0674) On the first day, Xu Xingxia talked about basic business activities. At that time, the world was not aware of the existence of free commercial trade. Most of the time, commercial trade also carries with it the official guiding surname. This was true even in Europe at the time. The big businessmen of the Western powers are basically very closely related to the political axe. However, the scope of his lectures is certainly not limited to the Central Plains, but is connected to the whole world.

"Look here, this is South America. Yes, at the bottom right of the map. This is a continent rich in resources. This place, maybe we can call it Peru. This place, perhaps we should call it Chile...... Here, we can call it Brazil for the time being...... Here, we can call it Argentina ...... for the time being."

"What is the richest thing about Chile? Copper mines, of course. That's right, it's the copper mine that casts the copper plate. We in China have always been very short of copper mines, and almost all of the copper is used by us to mint money. Even so, our copper coins are still not enough. But if I tell you that Chile has thousands of times more copper than our country, maybe even tens of thousands of times, I wonder how you will react?

"In fact, as long as we get our hands on Chile's copper mines and mine them all, we will have too many copper plates to use. At that time, the copper plate will definitely be very worthless. At present, one tael of silver can be exchanged for a thousand copper coins. In the future, one tael of silver may be exchanged for thousands of copper coins. Therefore, if you have any bronze utensils at home, take them out and use them as soon as possible. Otherwise, don't blame me for losing money then...... Also, Peru, where there are quite a few copper mines......"

…… On the first day of teaching, Xu Xingxia introduced the entire world map in detail. Obviously, the basic common sense of the world he introduced made the crowd who listened to the lecture extremely surprised and curious. They didn't expect that the content of Xu Xingxia's lecture was something they had never heard before, or even thought of. With their wisdom, it is too difficult to digest this knowledge.

Xu Xingxia is responsible for compiling "Basic Common Sense of the World", which is still distributed internally by the White Clothes Army and has not yet been sold to the public. The main reason is to control the scope of the book's influence. If the book spreads in large numbers to places that the White Army has not yet controlled, or even allows the White Army's enemies to get it, it may have some negative effects. In this world, there are still a lot of smart people, and Xu Xingxia doesn't dare to take it lightly.

"What? Our world is actually spherical? ”

"What? Most of our world's space is seawater? ”

"What? On the other side of the ocean, there is such a large continent? We can take a boat from here to there and back from there...... I fainted......"

"In that Africa, there are people who are all black? Incredible, right? In this world, how can there be people who are completely black? I also bask in the sun a lot, and I haven't been so tanned! Hehe, do you believe that there really are black people? Anyway, I don't believe it! In this world, how can there be people who are completely black? If it's night, wouldn't they not be able to see them at all? ”

"Hey, don't tell me, I've really seen this black person. Do you know the Moon Port on the coast of Fujian? There are blacks from time to time! Really, I did! Before, I didn't know where these people came from. At the time, I thought you had some kind of disease that caused your skin to turn black. Now, I finally understand that they are originally from Africa. ”

"These countries in the West are just beasts! They actually sold blacks to the Americas. What does the Americas need so many blacks for? They don't even sell some to our China, it's really bullying! If there is a slave trade, I will have to buy a few and study them. Do you say, 'Is it true that their skin is tanned by the sun?' By the way, Xu Lao Mo also said that their black women like to be naked [***]......"

"Ahem, you say, how did the chairman know so clearly? Has he been to Africa, to Europe, to the Americas? Impossible, the West Ocean is too far away from our Central Plains! Judging from the map, we are basically in the easternmost part of the Eurasian continent, and they are in the westernmost part of the Eurasian continent! Whether it's by sea or by dry, it basically takes a few years to make a round trip! How old is Old Devil Xu this year? ”

"Hehe, this, I suggest you don't get to the bottom of it. The chairman of the committee knows too much. Don't say that those of us who come to class, even those who are always with him, don't seem to understand where the chairman of the committee knows this strange knowledge. However, one thing is certain, this knowledge has been proven to be true in the end. You can't believe it. ”

"Could it be that the chairman of the committee is a heavenly immortal?"

"I think that's the same. There is really no way to explain it other than this. ”

…… Obviously, the first day of the training course at the Mandarin Hall attracted a large number of people. Under Xu Xingxia's eloquent explanation, the crowd in the Wenhua Hall was completely attracted. When listening to the lecture, most of them had already let go of their hostility to each other, and they were immersed in the "mythical stories" described to them by Xu Xingxia with relish. Yes, many people firmly believe that what Xu Xingxia described is definitely a mythical story.

Choi Chengxiu was also completely attracted by Xu Xingxia's description. He never thought that the world he was in would be like this. Cui Chengxiu absolutely believes in Xu Xingxia's every word. Because, in his opinion, Xu Xingxia has no need to lie at all. In front of Xu Xingxia, they were all prisoners waiting to be killed. Is it necessary for the high victor to curry favor with a group of prisoners who can't even save their own lives?

Besides, even if Xu Xingxia wanted to lie, it was impossible to come up with so many professional terms. It's too nerve-wracking to do that. No one would do that. In the Wenhua Palace, although there are many people who are confused, there are also many people who have real talents and real learning. It seems that he, Cui Chengxiu, thinks that he is a bit of a real talent. If Xu Xingxia just lied casually to fool people, he should be able to see it. However, he carefully observed for a long time, but did not find any flaws. Therefore, everything Xu Xingxia told must be true. The only question is, how did he know all this? I have to admit that he is amazing.

…… That evening, in the streets and alleys of the capital, courtyards, houses, inns, wine shops, teahouses, green buildings, military camps, wilderness and other places, the content of Xu Xingxia's lecture today was disseminated. Some people who are talking about it are spitting and talking endlessly, as if it is not Xu Xingxia who is lecturing in Wenhua Hall today, but himself. Subsequently, a variety of different versions came out, which attracted more and more interest from the public.

The storytellers on the overpass, in the teahouse, and in the wine shop also realized the existence of business opportunities, and they changed the content of the storytelling without thinking, and repeated Xu Xingxia's narration in a similar way. Some people with great powers also found a world map similar to Xu Xingxia's depiction. As a result, it really attracted a lot of people. These days, there are always many people who like novelty. Not to mention something that is so novel.

In order to show their identity and be different, the people who went to Wenhua Hall to participate in the training this time couldn't help but gather their relatives and friends to come and hype up the knowledge spread by Xu Xingxia. And their relatives and friends, in order to show their face, called their relatives and friends again...... As a result, the entire Yanjing City was shocked by the knowledge spread by Xu Xingxia. Even some of the old scholars of the Hanlin Academy couldn't sit still, and they came out to find out.

It turns out that the world they live in is not flat, but spherical. It turns out that the world they live in is devoid of immortals. However, people can really fly into the sky. It turned out that their emperor was not the son of heaven. It turns out that there is no heavenly court in heaven. It turned out that there were no Chang'e, Wu Gang, Jade Rabbit and Osmanthus trees on the moon. It turns out that outside the Central Plains, there are so many countries and so many nationalities.

It turns out that in addition to the yellow race and the white race, there are also black people. It turns out that in addition to the Great Desert of the Western Regions, there is also the Sahara Desert, which is larger than the Great Desert of the Western Regions. It turns out that in addition to the rainforests in the south, in distant South America, there are larger Amazon forests. It turns out that in this world, there really is a race of cannibalism...... There are all kinds of things, everything, unconsciously, making Xu Xingxia's image suddenly become unattainable. It is said that distance will produce beauty and prestige, and in the same way, distance will also make people awe-inspired. At the very least, they don't know all this that Xu Xingxia knows. Their awe of Xu Xingxia arose spontaneously.

No one would think that this was Xu Xingxia fooling them, because it was completely unnecessary. With Xu Xingxia's current strength and status, he didn't need to do anything to please others at all. Therefore, they all believe that all this is true. What they have to do is to accept Xu Xingxia's views as soon as possible, and then find their own opportunities from them.

The next day, before Xu Xingxia got up, Zhang Tianhao hurried over.
