010 A very white book

Shi Dakai had never been so shocked in his life, and he was not so excited even if he had captured Tianjing. The thin pages of paper on his hand were now pressed like a burden of a daughter, so he couldn't even lift his hands.

Unexpectedly, I really didn't expect that the book Xiao Letian wanted to write was actually so... so straightforward, so white that Shi Dakai couldn't bear to look at it.

"In the 16th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, in the distant West, Portugal, a weak country southwest of the Europa continent, there was a prince named Prince Enrique who sent a fleet to sail for the first time. He discovered the Santos Islands in the Mad Islands that year, and then discovered the islands of Madeira the following year. Later, the fleet he sent discovered the islands of the Azores, which opened the era of great navigation in Europe..."

The articles written by Xiao Letian have exceeded the limit that Shi Dakai could imagine. There are no ancient texts, no poetry, and no neat couplets. Some are only straightforward, just like a big man who snatched his feet at the port terminal tells you overseas legends. Updated as soon as possible

But Shi Dakai knew that what he saw was not a legend, but a real history. Military advisor Xiao Letian had repeatedly guaranteed that the stories here may have deviations in some data, but they are definitely real things.

More importantly, just such a blank article, why can’t I let go of it if I pick it up? I have to read it in one breath to enjoy it.

The article begins with Prince Enrique's adventure in the 16th year of Yongle, which fully depicts the Europeans' desire for oriental porcelain, spices and silk at that time.

The article is structured with chapter novels and begins to show the Chinese a completely different Western world. Before the great geographical discovery, Europe was a terrifying medieval era, with poor countries lagging behind and extremely low education levels. At that time, China was the country of gold in the eyes of Europeans.

With Xiao Letian's pen, Shi Dakai seemed to have experienced a journey through time and space. He knew that just as Prince Enrique was desperately exploring the west coast of Africa, the Ming Dynasty fleet had already begun to march towards the east coast of Africa. At that time, China's navigation technology was far ahead of the West.

When the Portuguese sailing industry reached its peak, the Spaniards began to rise. In the fifth year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty, that is, 1492 of the Western calendar, the Italian Columbus began his adventure to the Atlantic Ocean with the support of the Spanish, and finally discovered a new continent, which is today's United States. Updated as soon as possible

Later on, Magellan began the global adventure in the 14th year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty. It was with Magellan's efforts that Europeans finally understood that the earth was really a sphere, and the area of ​​the ocean was much larger than that of the land.

In these stories, Xiao Letian did not use blind preaching. In the article, he also interspersed with many grievances and entanglements between European countries and even some unofficial historical and interesting stories. He gave a detailed introduction to the politics, economy and culture of the entire Europe at that time.

Three thousand words per chapter, each chapter consists of several stories, and at the end, Xiao Letian will leave a burden, and he will never untie the next chapter. Several times Shi Dakai saw the words "If you want to know what happens next, please listen to the next breakdown". He angrily slapped the table and stared at him, wishing to open Xiao Letian's head and read the story ahead of time.

But whenever he saw Xiao Letian writing hard in front of the window, he could no longer say what he said in his stomach.

What are the Western countries? What are their origins, developments and current destiny? These knowledge are recorded in Xiao Letian's book. Which European countries are powerful, those who are weak, and what is the reason for their strength, and what is the situation of weakness? What Xiao Letian said in the book is clear and organized.

Shi Dakai sometimes wanted to write for Xiao Letian. He felt that such a shocking book would be a crime if it was not written in noble classical Chinese. But Xiao Letian stuffed his thoughts back with just one sentence.

"Prince, are there many illiterate people in the world? Or are there many literate literate people? Since there are many illiterate people, it proves that the most powerful force exists among the people. If China wants to be strong, the lowest-level people must be awakened. Knowledge should not be just in the study of literati..."

After listening to what Xiao Letian said, Shi Dakai burst into tears. He was immediately updated with compassion. The military advisor's mind was so broad that he could think of hundreds of millions of illiterate people who were already superior to others for this kind of mind.

How could Shi Dakai know? Xiao Letian doesn’t understand ancient Chinese at all. Apart from memorizing a few ancient poems about "The bright moonlight in front of the bed and two pairs of shoes on the ground", he couldn’t even write well in his brush, and he looked like a child who had just started to be in trouble.

Shi Dakai is now completely convinced that Xiao Letian is an overseas customer. In order to make Xiao Letian more conveniently write articles, the Wing King actually used the hidden thread in the capital and used gold ingots to buy pens, ink, and even pocket watches, toothbrushes, glass mirrors and other expensive Western goods for the military advisors in the shops of foreigners in Dongjiaominxiang. Just a small bag of foreign goods actually cost ten taels of gold.

When Xiao Letian saw the pack of foreign goods, he was in a good mood and actually told the story of the counterfeit soldiers, which was the stories he wrote. Unexpectedly, the first lecture was exchanged for a lot of colors. The soldiers at the bottom were as excited as listening to the stories in the overseas horizon, just like listening to Journey to the West, and were even more excited than the New Year.

Xiao Letian talked for three days, and he could no longer stand the enthusiasm of the soldiers. When they were at the lantern after dinner, they gathered outside Xiao Letian's wooden house with stools, looking at Xiao Letian with extremely eager eyes. More and faster chapters were invited. At that moment, Xiao Letian felt that he was committing a crime if he didn't talk two chapters.

From that day on, Xiao Letian worked part-time as a storyteller in the village, and made great contributions to Taibai's amateur cultural life in the bandit nest.

It was not until more than half a month later that when the meticulous work at the foot of the mountain brought the latest information to Xiao Letian, that Xiao Letian had no choice but to stop the storytelling that he had to speak every day, and shamefully stopped the update.

"Prince, I have to go down the mountain right away. Now that the shopkeeper Fan of the caravan is in trouble, I can't stand by and watch?" Xiao Letian said nervously.

"No, no, I already know what the military advisor said. Isn't it just a trouble for 110,000 silver? The Fan family doesn't care at all. They are the leader of the eight great masters of Shanxi merchants. If they can't even pay 110,000 silver, that would be really embarrassing..." Shi Dakai didn't know Xiao Letian's plan at all, and he still drank tea with a relaxed look on his face.

"Oh, my prince, Shopkeeper Fan is a very important part of my plan. Without his help, my plans would not be able to be implemented at all. Now is the time to show kindness to him. Whether the old Shopkeeper can be held in our hands depends on this..." Xiao Le was so angry that the room was full of chaos.

Originally, Xiao Letian didn't know the crisis facing the old shopkeeper, so he just took the time to write two private messages, one for Storekeeper Fan, and the other for Pastor Lewis in pure English.

When the Taiping Army's detailed work in Yi County gave Lewis the letter, it was not even an hour since the foreigner who was taking photos all over the world did not even say goodbye to Manager Fan. He rode a fast horse and took Saimen straight to Beijing. It seemed that the content written in the letter was absolutely urgent. Please come for more and faster chapters.

After the messenger delivered the letter to the Americans, he turned around and went to the Fan family Guangde Vehicle Station to find the old shopkeeper. However, he didn't expect that when he arrived at the Guangde Quotation, he realized that the old shopkeeper was bedridden because of the cold in the mountains. When the shopkeeper Fan read Xiao Letian's private message, the old man actually struggled to get up. In the end, Hu Niu pressed him hard and persuaded him.

"I only understood the whole story from the mouth of Miss Fan's wife. Now Shopkeeper Fan is almost forced to death by his brother and the head of the Fan's family. Miss Fan's wife has no choice but to ask me to bring a message to the military advisor. She said that you may not be able to repay your kindness to them in this life... Just wait for the next life to repay..."

Damn, Xiao Letian was in a mess at that time. Someone wanted to harm her the first girl I picked up after traveling through time? This was forced to death. If I don’t stand up, would I still be a man?

"Prince, whether you agree or not, I must go down the mountain. Either you cut me to death or send someone to protect me down the mountain. There is no second road..."

Shi Dakai looked at Xiao Letian who was indignant and suddenly became angry. He slammed the table and stood up. "Sir, what are you saying? Since you are already our military advisor, you have all the freedom. How can I stop you? Who do you think of us? In your eyes, we are despicable bandits and thieves?"

Xiao Letian blushed when he heard this, but Shi Dakai didn't say anything else, "Mr. I want to go down the mountain, so I have to arrange everything. How to enter the city? How to lurk in Guangde? Why not disturb the government? This must be prepared in advance. Don't worry, give me a night, I will arrange it for you..."

Shi Dakai's frank gaze gained Xiao Letian's trust. After a sleepless night, when Xiao Letian pushed open the door the next morning, he found that there were more than twenty silver boxes in the yard in front of the door. The soldiers were loading the Thomas's back. General Liu Lang, a gray-bearded man, was helping. Please come more and faster chapters.

"General? What are you doing?" Xiao Letian asked in confusion.

"The prince said, since Shopkeeper Fan is of great use in your plan for military advisors, you can't be stingy. You should focus on giving kindness. Isn't it just a difficulty of 110,000 yuan? You don't want to copy the village, so send it back to them..." Graybeard was a little unconvincing before, but after listening to Xiao Letian's storytelling broadcast several times, he read a few original articles and was completely convinced.

Xiao Letian smiled bitterly, "Oh my prince, how can you give it away? Not only should you not send it to me, but you should also collect it into the parody. Stop it first, stop pretending, put it down..." After saying that, Xiao Letian went directly to Shi Dakai.

"Prince, open the holy warehouse and we can give gold, jade, pearls and agate, but we can't give silver. The future of the copycat business is on this pile of silver..."

Shi Dakai stared at Xiao Letian in confusion, but when he saw Xiao Letian's serious expression, he knew that this was definitely not a joke. It seemed that the military advisor had a detailed plan in his mind.

"Can you give Xiao Wang a clear idea first?" The good guy Shi Dakai even shouted out Xiao Wang, because he knew that this was Xiao Letian's first suggestion. The excitement that came out of his heart made him tremble inexplicably.

"Let's go, let's go to the Holy Library first. You can choose whatever military advisor you need..."
