Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 650: Teaching
However, Zhuge Liang was shocked when he got these rare books.

The content is so profound that it is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

He had hundreds of guesses in his mind, but he didn't believe at all that Xing Daorong got it from Fuso.

Although I didn't believe it, I didn't investigate further.

He just closed the book, looked at Xing Daorong with deep eyes, and said slowly: "Zi Yu, this is a rare book, it is very important. Come with me to the palace and present this book to His Majesty. If it can be promoted throughout the world, it will surely benefit the people and achieve a great cause for generations to come."

Xing Daorong clasped his fists in agreement, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that these books would bring about earth-shaking changes to the Han Dynasty.

but…

Although Zhuge Liang thought far enough, this matter was not that simple.

What era is this?
The era of aristocratic families!
If the contents of these books were to be spread in this era, wouldn't they become the exclusive domain of aristocratic families?
This is not what Xing Daorong wants to see.

But we can’t turn into a Huang Chao to kill all the noble families, so we have to think of a way...

Seeing Zhuge Liang was about to leave, Xing Daorong grabbed him and said, "Prime Minister, I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Zhuge Liang raised his head, his eyes gentle but deep, and smiled slightly, saying, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Xing Daorong took a deep breath and said firmly: "Prime Minister, I believe that those skills and knowledge related to the national economy and people's livelihood must be popularized to the people and cannot be hidden in the hands of a few people."

“Whether it is farming methods, water conservancy techniques, or military strategies, they should all be spread throughout the world so that the people can all benefit.”

"If it is only kept in the government or by aristocratic families, I am afraid that one day, this wisdom will be forgotten, or even fall into the hands of foreign races, which will become a threat to our Han Dynasty."

Zhuge Liang's expression gradually became serious after hearing this. He stopped and nodded slowly: "Zi Yu is right. Knowledge and skills should be shared by people all over the world."

"If it is kept in the hands of only a few people, not only will the common people not be able to benefit from it, but it may also be lost due to war or unforeseen circumstances."

"As for the foreign races..." Zhuge Liang paused, a sharp look flashing in his eyes, "We must be careful indeed."

Xing Daorong felt relieved when he saw Zhuge Liang's approval, but he was still worried and continued, "Prime Minister, I think that universal education should be promoted sooner rather than later."

"If we can set up schools widely so that children of the people have the opportunity to study, it will not only make the country strong and the people rich, but also unite the people and make all the people in the world serve the Han Dynasty."

"As for foreign tribes, we should not teach them skills lightly, but we should not be afraid of them and shut ourselves off. We should focus on educating them and make them accept our wishes, rather than just guarding against them."

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, with approval in his eyes: "Zi Yu's opinion is very much in my heart. Popularizing education and spreading skills are indeed the foundation of a strong country."

"As for the matter of foreign races, we should also win them over with virtue rather than force. I will think about this matter carefully and formulate a strategy as soon as possible."

Look, this Zhuge Liang is indeed Zhuge Liang, his reaction speed is extremely fast.

Xing Daorong bowed his hands and said solemnly: "The Prime Minister is wise. I am willing to do my best to help with this matter."

Zhuge Liang looked at Xing Daorong with a deep gaze and said, "Zi Yu... I think you have understood many of the secrets in this book more thoroughly. I'm afraid you will have to spend some time to think about it."

Xing Daorong understood what Zhuge Liang meant as soon as he heard it.

Overtly or covertly, it is also about myself.

Since no one pointed it out, Xing Daorong naturally wouldn't say it either.

He responded: "Of course I should..."

So, under the auspices of Zhuge Liang, a teaching activity was launched in the Han Dynasty.

...

Changan.

Zhuge Liang found a special hall for Xing Daorong. At this moment, Xing Daorong stood in the center of the hall, holding a carefully drawn sheepskin map in his hand.

His eyes swept over everyone in the hall. Zhuge Liang sat in the main seat, gently waving a feather fan; Jiang Wan and Fei Yi sat on both sides, looking focused.

Many other Han officials were also seated among them.

"Everyone, please take a look."

Xing Daorong took a deep breath and slowly unfolded the map.

The parchment rustled slightly, and a never-before-seen picture of the world slowly unfolded before everyone.

Even though Zhuge Liang had seen it several times, he couldn't help but stare at it intently.

As for the others, they were even more shocked.

During this time, Jiang Wan's eyes were fixed on the familiar outline on the map. That was the terrain of Yizhou that he was very familiar with. However, on this map, Yizhou looked so small.

"What is this?" Jiang Wan couldn't help but stand up, his voice trembling a little.

Xing Daorong pointed at the map and explained, "This is the entire map of the world. Look, everyone, this is where we are."

He pointed his finger at the Central Plains and said, "Go east, across the blue sea, and you will reach the land of Fusang. Go west, across the Pamir Mountains, and you will reach the vast continent."

Fei Yi listened, beads of sweat instantly seeping out of his forehead, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table: "General, are you saying that the place we are in is just a corner of the world?"

This is exactly the effect we want!
"That's right." Xing Daorong nodded. "The world is so big that it's far beyond our imagination. What's depicted in this picture is only a part of it."

"To the south, there is a continent where people with dark skin live; to the north, there is a vast expanse of ice, but cold-resistant people have lived there for generations."

Zhuge Liang slowly stood up, his eyes wandering over the map.

This prime minister, who was known for his wisdom, now acted like a student eager to learn.

His fingers gently stroked the lines on the map, and those unfamiliar place names seemed to tell him about a whole new world.

Especially when listening to Xing Daorong's detailed introduction, he was even more shocked.

This world...is so big.

"Zi Yu," Zhuge Liang said in a hoarse voice, "how did you know this?"

Zhuge Liang was naturally not asking this question to himself, but to others. After all, he had already heard Xing Daorong's explanation to him.

Xing Daorong still used the same rhetoric, but modified it slightly.

"When I invaded Fusang, I met a Taoist priest. The Taoist priest led me to a treasure house, and I found it there."

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

Although this explanation is outrageous, it is still an explanation after all...

Jiang Wan suddenly pointed to a blank spot on the map and asked, "Why is there nothing here?"

"That is an area that has not yet been explored." Xing Daorong explained, "The world is so big, and what we have seen is just a drop in the ocean. Perhaps in that unknown place, there are more countries and civilizations that we cannot imagine."

There was silence in the hall for a moment, with only the sound of flickering candlelight.

Zhuge Liang sat back in his seat, his eyes still on the map.

This prime minister, who had devoted his entire life to supporting the Han Dynasty, seemed to see a wider world at this moment.

As for others... they saw infinite possibilities...
