【Chapter 676】Welcome to the Great Era

(0676) [The annual meeting is over, and it can be updated normally.] [No pop-up novel network]]

After three days, the entire Yanjing City was completely attracted by Xu Xingxia's lecture. Because the content of the lecture was very exciting, the audience was reluctant to give up, and they felt that they could not get enough. There was no way, Xu Xingxia had to arrange an extra two days to continue lecturing. As a result, the course lasted a full five days.

Even so, there are still many people who feel that their curiosity has not been satisfied. They continued to learn more from Xu Xingxia through various channels. Xu Xingxia also fully satisfied them. He promised that everyone could submit their questions in writing to a special committee. He will take the time to write a detailed answer.

At the same time, at the request of all the audience, the books he wrote, such as "Basic Knowledge of World Geography", "Basic Knowledge of World Trade", and "Basic Knowledge of World Culture and Customs", were open to all the public. Each citizen only needs to spend twenty copper coins to buy one of them. If you buy a full set, it will cost only fifty copper coins.

It can be said that Xu Xingxia showed a whole new world to all audiences. Even the most stupid people can feel that a new era is really coming. The emergence of Xu Xingxia has made the development of this world embark on a channel of leaping surnames. In such a big era, whoever can decisively seize the opportunity will become the tide of history.

Perhaps, for most ordinary people, the new world is too far away for them. With their ability, it is indeed difficult to seize the wave of the times and become the trendsetters of the times. As a result, they have little to expect from the new world. After all, all of this sounds too mysterious.

Maybe all this is true, but no one knows how long it will take to achieve it. Maybe in this life, they won't see it anymore. Especially for some elderly ordinary people, the arrival of the big era has made them have a deep sense of fear. Because, they begin to feel that they already have signs of being abandoned by society. How old is Xu Xingxia? It's only twenty years old! However, it is such a young man who has become the master of this world! This has to be horrified.

That's right, Xu Xingxia's appearance did make many people feel scared. They had been living a good life, but when they woke up overnight, they suddenly found that their cognition was so simple and ignorant. Compared with the knowledge told by Xu Xingxia, their cognition really can't stand scrutiny. And Xu Xingxia's account is well-founded. It looks ridiculous, and when it is inferred carefully, it is very intriguing, and there is nothing to question in the middle. They have to admit that it is absolutely impossible to fake.

They have always thought that the Ming Dynasty is the center of this world. They still think that there really is a heaven in this world. And the emperor, the so-called Son of Heaven, is the son of the Heavenly Court. In fact, none of this exists. There are no gods, no ghosts, no demons in this world, there are just different lands, different seas, and different human races. And, of course, countless different species of plants and animals. Xu Xingxia ruthlessly broke everyone's cognition.

Too much novelty, knowledge that I have never been exposed to before, suddenly flooded into my mind, as long as I am human, I will feel afraid. Especially some people with poor comprehension, comprehension, and receptivity. After a short period of surprise, some old guys from the Hanlin Academy began to question Xu Xingxia's teaching. They used to bring out Confucius, Mencius and others with surnames and forcibly oppose Xu Xingxia's theory.

It's a pity that what they did didn't play any role at all. Because, whether it is Confucius Sage or Meng Sage, their theories are very empty and not supported by substantive surname evidence. In front of Xu Xingxia's theory, they are like clowns, of no use except to expose their ignorance and ignorance.

There is no doubt that the content of Xu Xingxia's lecture has been deeply engraved in the minds of some people. This part of the people is mainly young people with strong receptivity and comprehension ability. One of the very special characters is Lu Xiangsheng. At that time, Lu Xiangsheng was preparing to take the imperial examination. As a result, after listening to Xu Xingxia's lecture, he no longer had any interest in participating in the imperial examination. Compared with understanding this huge, vast world, what is it to be an official? In addition, there are also some businessmen who often travel overseas.

They believe that everything Xu Xingxia describes is real. This is definitely not a great monk opening an altar [***], opening the river, and blowing as much as he can. And it is entirely possible for all of this to be realized. Moreover, it will not take a lot of time. Some people optimistically estimate that it will definitely not take more than a hundred years. In other words, in a hundred years, the world they see and the world they come into contact with will change dramatically.

In fact, everything Xu Xingxia does has a practical basis. In the town of Ningxia, a railway is already being built. This peculiar quirky thing can always attract a lot of topics. The train mentioned by Xu Xingxia should run on the land of Ningxia Town in the near future. People who do not have a clear understanding of the train simply call it "earth dragon", which means a dragon running on the ground. How capable is it to be able to bring a dragon down from the sky? No wonder Xu Xingxia can defeat his opponent so quickly.

Now that trains have appeared, planes, ships, automobiles, and the like will one day also appear. The greatest dream of mankind since ancient times is estimated to be to fly in addition to sailing on the sea. It can be seen from the flying sky in the Dunhuang murals that human beings are fascinated by flying in the sky. And myths and legends such as Bai Yu's ascension don't know how many people have been affected. Aren't immortals the sustenance of human beings' dreams of flying?

If one day, human beings can fly freely in the sky, what a great achievement! Just thinking about it can make people's blood boil. Therefore, there are not a few young people who have joined the technical department of the White Army. They are all a generation with dreams. They believe in their dreams and they can definitely achieve them.

A large number of shrewd merchants are also Xu Xingxia's strong backing. They don't have dreams of flying. Their biggest dream is to make as much money as possible and expand their pockets as much as possible. And Xu Xingxia's appearance just gave them a chance. Xu Xingxia's lecture has already told them the way to get rich and the idea of making a fortune without reservation. If they don't act quickly, it can only be said that they are not angry.

Smart people know that the first strike is the last strike, and the same is true in commercial trade and scientific and technological development. If you want to stand out, you must go earlier and faster than others. Therefore, you must firmly seize the opportunity and act decisively. Otherwise, after this village, there will be no such shop. In this world, there is no regret medicine.

Specifically, it is necessary to firmly grasp the world's major shipping routes, the world's major commercial resources, and the world's major consumer markets in their own hands. Even if these things are currently in the hands of others, it doesn't matter. As long as it is what you like, as long as it meets the development needs of the white-clothed army, the white-clothed army will definitely take force to take it down. Xu Xingxia has clearly guaranteed this.

It seems that the Nanyang area is suitable for growing a large amount of rubber. At that time, rubber had just been transplanted from South America to Southeast Asia, and the amount of cultivation was still very small. If you invest a certain amount of money in this world, establish a large number of rubber plantations and plant a large amount of rubber in the Nanyang region, it will definitely be very profitable in the future. Because, Xu Xingxia has clearly mentioned that the future development of the White Army, as well as the development of the whole society in the future, will require a large amount of rubber.

Of course, if you feel that the Nanyang area is a bit far away, then it is also very rich to find a suitable place to build a rubber plantation in Lingnan, Qiongzhou Mansion and other places. Because, Xu Xingxia also mentioned that Guangdong and Hainan Island are suitable for growing rubber. You can disagree with Xu Xingxia's work as a person, and disagree with some of Xu Xingxia's policies. However, you must believe Xu Xingxia's words. Otherwise, it will definitely be you who suffers.

It's like Liu Zhiqiang at the beginning, but because of the relationship with Xu Xingxia, he messed up, and now his business has not been able to get up. He was the first to deal with Xu Xingxia and had a unique advantage. If he had maintained close contact with Xu Xingxia at the beginning, perhaps, his business would have completely overshadowed the Lin family and become the first red-top businessman in front of the white-clothed army. The Lin family, after all, are two women, where are the opponents of men?

After Xu Xingxia's lecture ended, the entire capital seemed to be brewing an inexplicable excitement. Many people are secretly thinking about whether they should be ahead of the times and become the trendsetters of this era. If you want to accept this era, what should you do? Precisely, what should be done now.

Soon after, a large number of people with lofty ideals began to set off to Ningxia Town to inspect trains, railways, steel mills and other projects. They don't mind getting a piece of the pie if they can. Listening to Xu Xingxia's meaning, at a certain time, he will disclose all the relevant technologies. And quite a lot of technology will also be transferred from military to civilian. As long as you have enough money and enough confidence, you can get involved.
