"This we lost this game."
Hearing Liu Jin¡¯s answer, Tong Yuan was stunned, and then he readily admitted that he had lost this round. He thought that the Nine Palaces Grid was very difficult, but he did not expect that the other party reported the answer all at once.
¡°It¡¯s actually like this~¡±
The young man on the side who was constantly calculating heard Liu Jin¡¯s words and quickly calculated. He soon felt relieved and his eyes lit up.
The other diners on the second floor were silently calculating in their hearts, and they all looked relieved. It would not be difficult to know the answer, but it would be difficult to calculate it if they didn't know the answer.
"What's the second game?"
Huang Jinquan looked at his two companions. It was a bad start. They lost the first game. If they lost again in the second game, the three of them would kneel down in front of everyone and become their disciples.
¡°We absolutely cannot lose this second game.¡±
Huang Jinquan said to the two of them very firmly, while Tong Yuan and Lin Shuhong also nodded slightly.
¡°A scholar cultivates his moral character, manages his family, governs his country and brings peace to the world. He is loyal to the king at the top and governs the people at the bottom. When it comes to governing a country and bringing peace to the world, it is natural that he must have some understanding of the world and the country. Otherwise, how can we talk about governing a country and bringing peace to the world.¡±
Liu Jin smiled, thought for a while and spoke slowly.
"This second competition is about the world and the country. Do you have any objections?"
"Okay~"
Huang Jinquan and the other two friends looked at each other, nodded slightly, and agreed.
This classic sentence about cultivating one¡¯s moral integrity, harmonizing one¡¯s family, and governing the world is from the Book of Rites and Great Learning: In ancient times, those who wished to bring virtue to the world first governed their country; those who wished to govern their country, first regulated their families; those who wished to regulate their families, First cultivate your body;
"If you want to cultivate your body, you must first rectify your mind; if you want to rectify your mind, you must first be sincere in your intention; if you want to be sincere in your intention, you must first develop knowledge, and knowledge lies in the investigation of things. After observing things, one will know, and after knowing one's thoughts, one will be sincere, one's mind will be sincere, then one's heart will be upright, one's heart will be right, then one will cultivate one's body, one will cultivate one's body, and then one's family will be in order, and one's family will be in order, and then the country will be governed.
This is the content of "Great Learning" in the Four Books and Five Classics. Any scholar can memorize this paragraph by heart, and even the annotations of this paragraph by famous people in the past dynasties can be memorized.
Huang Jinquan and the other three are still a bit conceited. The first competition can be said to be something they are not good at. Although they lost, they are not convinced.
"The world and the country?"
¡°What an interesting young man.¡±
When the middle-aged man with extraordinary talents heard the content of the second-level competition, he immediately showed a strong interest. In his opinion, arithmetic is a trivial matter after all. The country and the world are what he cares about most, and he really wants to Look at what unique insights this young man in front of you can have about his family, country and world.
¡°Then I¡¯ll give you a question. Let¡¯s start with a simpler one. First, let¡¯s talk about the provinces that our Ming Dynasty consists of. We need to tell them one by one from north to south.¡±
Liu Jin smiled and asked the question. This question must be a sub-question. The Ming Dynasty followed the provincial system of the Yuan Dynasty. Of course, the correct title at this time should be Chengxuanzhengshisi.
"This is easy, I'll do it."
When Lin Shuhong heard this, he immediately stood up and said: "Our Ming Dynasty consists of two capitals and thirteen provinces. From north to south, they are roughly North Zhili, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Sichuan, Huguang, South Zhili, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou.¡±
¡°In addition, there are several important components of the Seven Guards of Guanxi, the Military and Civilian Marshal¡¯s Mansion of Orisi, and the Onan River Guard.¡±
Lin Shuhong also smiled slightly proudly after finishing speaking. Because he likes to read geography books, he still has a very clear understanding of the composition of the Ming Dynasty.
"The answer is very accurate."
Liu Jin nodded after hearing this, then thought about it and said, "Then where is the place north of the Great Wall?"
"Where is this place west of Kansai?"
"What is the place south of Guangdong and Guangxi and Yunnan and Guizhou?"
"What are the places east of the East China Sea?"
Liu Jin sent out four questions one after another, corresponding to the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest.
"Naturally, north of the Great Wall are Tatar and Oara, west of Guanxi are the ancient lands of the Western Regions, south of Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan-Guizhou are the Shiwanda Mountains, south of the Shiwanda Mountains are Annan and Siam, and to the east of the East China Sea are the Japanese and Korea."
When Lin Shuhong heard this, he smiled and replied.
¡°The geography is pretty good, I know quite a lot.¡±
Liu Jin couldn¡¯t help but praise Lin Shuhong.Hey, it is very rare for a person who has read the Four Books and Five Classics to be able to clearly distinguish the southeast from the northwest, and also roughly know some information outside the Ming Dynasty.
"Then do you know what is the place north of Tatar and Oara?"
"What is the place to the west of this ancient land in the Western Regions?"
"What is this place south of Annam and Siam?"
"What is the place east of Korea and Japan?"
"What are the products of these places, and what is the human geography like?"
However, Liu Jin did not intend to let the other party go just like this, and asked several questions in succession.
"West of the Western Regions? South of Annan and Siam? North of Oara and Tatar? East of Korea and Japan?"
When the diners on the second floor heard this, they were all dumbfounded, including the extraordinary middle-aged man. His mind went blank and he didn't know any information about these places.
"This we, the Ming Dynasty, are a huge country, located in the center of the world. The north is a land of bitter cold, the west is a desert, the south is full of miasma, and the east is a rough sea."
"Only I, the great Ming Dynasty, occupy the center of the universe, with abundant resources, natural treasures, and outstanding people. Why do we need to know too much about the barbaric land outside the outer world? We only need to know a few things. You are deliberately making things difficult. I can ask you the same question. Well, what are those places all the way from the East China Sea to the east, where is the end of this sea, and where is the end of all the way to the east?"
"Can you tell me?"
"If you can tell me, I am willing to admit defeat. Even if you win this round, I will kowtow to you on the spot."
Lin Shuhong hesitated for a moment, then thought about it and said very righteously.
"Well said, this is deliberately making things difficult. How can you keep asking like this? No one can say that he knows all the things in the world. No one can say that he has truly traveled the entire world. How big is the world? No one knows."
As soon as Lin Shuhong finished speaking, some diners on the second floor spoke out in support. When he said that the great Ming Dynasty is the center of the world, everyone present had a look of pride on their faces. Obviously many people agreed with Lin Shuhong's words. There is no need for us to know too much information about the alien wilderness.
"That's right, my people of the Ming Dynasty should be like this."
The middle-aged man nodded slightly when he heard Lin Shuhong's words. The Ming Dynasty should be the best in the world. As for the other countries, they are all bitter cold, desert, and barbaric lands, and they are not worthy of attention at all. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
