Chapter 282 The World
The important thing is to make rules and maintain them.
Xu Chen's words made the students understand this truth clearly.
Only then did they begin to realize that governing the world was not something that could be taken for granted, and could not be supported entirely by ideals.
Once we enter the realm of reality, ideals must be grounded and down-to-earth. How to balance the two requires top-level wisdom.
However, this is not Xu Chen’s real topic today.
Xu Chen's eyes wandered among the students. It was not an exaggeration when he said that he would hand Xuanxia over to them. The young people in front of him, and the younger generations who would enter Xuanxia Academy in the future, would eventually take over the flag from himself and Wang Dang and others.
As an entrepreneurial generation, the biggest mission for myself, Wang Dang and others is to cleanse China and build a new system.
But by the time these things are done, the entrepreneurial generation will have almost burned themselves out, and it will be time to hand over Xuan Xia to the younger generation.
In addition to preserving the business, the younger generations also have a more important mission, which is to plant the seeds in their hearts early and map out a path for them.
"Students, do you know how vast this continent is and whether this ocean has an end?" Xu Chen's voice was heard, and the students' attention was once again drawn to it.
Of course, the students cannot answer this question. The world is so big that it is beyond their current understanding.
Of course Xu Chen did not expect them to answer, he just looked into the distance, and Zhang Ji there made a gesture, untied a rope from the wall, and then the whole curtain slid down and unfolded.
The students all held their breath, and what appeared before them was a huge map.
This map is embroidered on a huge piece of silk cloth. It has not only lines and stripes on it, but also many symbols and text markings. As the map itself is so huge, it brings a huge visual impact.
What puzzled the students was that they couldn't recognize where the map was. Fortunately, Xu Chen quickly answered their questions.
"This map is called 'Kunyu Quantu', which covers all the continents and oceans in the world. There may be many errors in the details of the map, but the general shape and direction can be used as a reference. This is the study of the world. You need to know the breadth and depth of the world so that you can lead Xuanxia to a distant place in the future."
Before the students could come to their senses, they saw Xu Chen standing up, then walked under the "Kunyu Complete Map", picked up a piece of paper and drew a circle in the center of the map.
"This is the land of China!"
When everyone looked at it, their eyes widened. In an instant, an idea popped into everyone's mind.
China is so small!
The land of China is so vast that it is hard for ordinary people to imagine it in their lifetime, but on this map, it seems to be just a small corner. Is the world really so vast?
"Today, as I review the map with all my classmates, I hope that you can all broaden your horizons. China is large, but also crowded. We Chinese people should look up at the stars and embrace the sea.
The resources of overseas lands are endless, and the people outside the country are waiting for us to civilize them. These are all the goals of Xuanxia."
Xu Chen looked at everyone, his tone gradually becoming serious: "I have received divine revelation that the Natural Religion should take saving the world as its own responsibility. One day Xuan Xia will rule China, and you must not stop. You need to cross the ocean and measure thousands of miles of land. One day you will realize the liberation of the whole world."
The academy was silent, and all the students were inexplicably shocked. After the words fell, they also felt a sense of mission on their shoulders.
This sense of mission was not due to the influence of Xu Chen's words, but was simply something given by the religion.
It doesn't matter what they think in their hearts, and it doesn't matter whether they accept it or not. As long as Xu Chen said it, the younger generation can only work towards this direction. This is the direction pointed out by the prophet of the religion of God to all the believers now and in the future. It is naturally legal and cannot be disobeyed.
This means that no matter who governs Xuanxia in the future, they cannot just be satisfied with the land of China, but must be driven by this imperial decree to expand outward.
Xu Chen also relaxed. For him, this was something he had done to prepare for a rainy day.
The country's major policies may change due to the will of the ruler, but the imperial edicts issued by oneself will never deviate. In this way, there is an insurance policy, so there is no need to worry about the regression of closing the country to the outside world in the future.
His own divine decree is the best driving force for external expansion. Whether future generations are willing or not, they must conquer the oceans and continents.
"Overseas, the climate is different, the people are different, the species are rich, and the resources are inexhaustible."
Afterwards, Xu Chen began to give a brief introduction to the world outside.
From this, the students learned that the extreme south and north are extremely cold places covered with ice and snow, and even have such amazing sights as polar day and polar night.
They also knew that by traveling across oceans and continents, they could bring back huge yields of foreign crops, which, once cultivated and promoted, could satisfy the hunger of billions of lives.
There are also countless large and small countries outside the region, with various cultural beliefs, which are even more curious.
The vastness and splendor of the world made the students feel excited.
No one doubted the truthfulness of Xu Chen's words. How could the words of prophets and sages be wrong? In this regard, the identity of the Pope greatly facilitated Xu Chen.
Just like this "Complete Map of Kunyu" that he drew based on his memory, no one would think about where it came from. There is no need to trace the source of things that the prophet took out, and they must be correct enough.
Of course, the world map that Xu Chen drew based on his memory can only be said to have an appearance, but it is actually of no reference at all.
This lecture only gave many students a superficial understanding of the world, but it was enough to broaden their horizons. Even after the lecture was over, the students were still shocked.
Even Emiya, the foreign student, was no exception, but what shocked Emiya was the divine decree issued by Xu Chen.
How could Emiya not understand how great the power contained in such a holy oracle? The centripetal force of the religious faith was far more terrifying than anything else.
It is conceivable that in the future the Xuanxia people will certainly obey the imperial edict and regard themselves as the people of destiny, and then continue to explore the vast world outside of Shenzhou.
The problem is that Goguryeo is also outside this divine land.
With mixed feelings, Emiya returned all the way to his dormitory, and then he saw that his roommate Zhou Liang seemed to have become a little crazy.
"I will follow the story of Marquis Bowang and travel across continents and oceans to explore the world and collect crops for Xuan Xia!"
During the entire lecture, Zhou Liang was only attracted by what Xu Chen talked about high-yield crops.
As a person majoring in agricultural science, he is now extremely eager to obtain this crop. In that way, he can solve the food problems of hundreds of millions of people!
