Sure enough, Xu Guangqi became anxious when he heard this. He was the kind of person who had a strong desire for knowledge about unknown things. He quickly grabbed Guo Zhiyuan's arm and said in a pleading tone: "Young Master Guo, Chao Wen Dao, Xi Ke died. Isn't it even more uncomfortable to say half of this?..."

Guo Zhiyuan was so cautious that he slowly said: "Democracy refers to a state system that jointly manages state affairs within a certain class sphere according to the principle of equality and minority obeying the majority. Most Western countries have adopted a political system of separation of administrative, legislative and judicial powers. This can disperse the power of the ruling and be subject to supervision. It can not only balance and restrict each other, but also effectively prevent corruption of officials caused by concentration of power!..."

Xu Guangqi's eyes lit up, and as Guo Zhiyuan's eyes became more and more hot. In this dynasty where the king wanted to die, what Guo Zhiyuan said was unheard and incredible. Even his cheap father Guo Zhengyu would treat him as a wrong saying and hate him deeply. However, the pioneer of Xu Guangqi, who has a strong ability to accept new things, was like an ascetic who had dried up in the desert and was about to smoke his throat suddenly encountered nectar from the sky.

However, Xu Guangqi seemed to think of something suddenly, his eyes dimmed suddenly, and he stood up and walked back and forth anxiously in the room, sighed: "The ships and guns of the Western countries are strong, the firearms are so powerful, and there is such an enlightened political system. How can I fight against the Ming Dynasty? If it attacks a large scale, my Ming Dynasty will be in danger! What should I do?!..."

What Guo Zhiyuan wants is such an effect. If you tempt a kind intellectual like Xu Guangqi with benefits, he will never be moved. Only by moving the country with the survival of the country and the nation's righteousness can he truly touch his heart. His words just now were deliberately exaggerated. Although the democratic system had already appeared in Europe at this time, the real establishment of the system of separation of powers was still very early. Montesquieu's "The Spirit of the Law" was published until 1748.

He did this to inspire Xu Guangqi's sense of national crisis, and at the same time, he also planted a seed in the heart of Xu Guangqi, the pioneer of learning Western culture. Even if Xu Guangqi cannot use it for himself, he can at least awaken the advanced intellectuals of this era earlier, or make the tragedy like the Crow and Film War no longer happen. He stood up and said loudly: "Mr. Xu doesn't have to be too impatient. I am a Chinese and a talented person, and the Western countries are far away from China, so it is not easy to be at the gate of the city. As long as we can work hard to strengthen from now on, learn from the barbarians' strengths and control them, we may not have the power to fight!..."

"Learn from the barbarians to control the barbarians!" Guo Zhiyuan's words were like a flash of lightning in the dark night, which instantly illuminated the confused Xu Guangqi's heart, and also made Xu Guangqi fall into a long shock, so that even Guo Zhiyuan stood up and said goodbye, Guo Zhiyuan sighed inwardly. It seemed that he could not recruit Xu Guangqi under his command. Fortunately, the seeds had been planted, and one day they would take root and sprout.

Originally, Guo Zhengyu hoped that Guo Zhiyuan would take office after the Spring Festival, but the Ministry of Personnel issued two consecutive official documents, requiring Guo Zhiyuan to take office before the Spring Festival, otherwise he would have to ask him for his slackness. Needless to say, this was another trick by Shen Yiguan.

However, Guo Zhiyuan didn't care about this. He couldn't wait to set off immediately. In the capital, his heart had already flown to Gutian. It would be the base for his rise in this era. He would start his kingly turmoil. Thinking of this, he felt that his passion was about to boil.

But there are many things to prepare for when he really wants to take office. First of all, the money along the way is not a small amount. In order to save Guo Zhengyu, Guo Zhiyuan used almost all the money in his family. Guo Zhengyu also had to take office after the Spring Festival, and he also needed money. In the end, Guo Zhengyu could only sell some of the land under his name, raise 800 taels of silver, and gave Guo Zhiyuan five hundred taels, leaving only 300 taels of himself.

But even these five hundred taels were a bit tight. Nearly two hundred taels were used to buy horses, carriages and utensils along the way. There were also a considerable expense for so many people along the way to eat, drink, scatter, and sleep. I guess there were only three melons and two dates left when I arrived in Gutian. As the saying goes, I don’t know that the food, rice, oil and salt are expensive. When Guo Zhiyuan was in charge of saving Guo Zhengyu, he took hundreds of taels of silver bills at one time. Now it hurts a little when I think about it.

Fortunately, someone came in time for help. Crown Prince Zhu Changluo sent someone to send 1,000 taels of silver notes, saying that it was for the money given to Guo Zhiyuan. It was obvious that Zhu Changluo had not given up yet and wanted to continue to recruit Guo Zhiyuan. Guo Zhiyuan naturally accepted the 1,000 taels of silver notes with a smile. As for Zhu Changluo, the future "January Emperor", he didn't care about the recruitment of his own little butterfly. With the appearance of his own, he still had some questions about whether Zhu Changluo could become the emperor in the end.

Everything is ready, and only the east wind is not available. Guo Zhiyuan went to the Ministry of Personnel to obtain his official documents and seal his official office, bought the official uniform, and chose a good day of sunnyness, and officially set off. Daguan and Shen Lingyu really came to join the team with a trustworthy battle. At this time, they drove a carriage and followed the team with a long sword on their waists and rode majestic in front of them. Wang Xi brought several servants with whistle sticks to guard both sides of the carriage, making Guo Zhiyuan's team look a bit more imposing.

Guo Zhengyu gave it to him again and again, holding Guo Zhiyuan's hand and repeatedly told him. Although he knew that this was a cheap father's heart of loving his son, Guo Zhiyuan, who had already flown thousands of miles away, was still a little impatient. Moreover, he didn't like this sad atmosphere of parting and said with a forced smile: "Dad, don't send it to him. If you send it to him, you will leave the city. I have written down your instructions. The child has grown up and can take good care of himself. Daddy, don't worry about the child. But Daddy, you have to take care of your health..."

Guo Zhengyu looked at his son with relief, his huge Adam's apple trembled excitedly. Yes, his son has grown up and is no longer the playboy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun before. He can't let him live under his wings forever. Now he has a wider sky. This eagle will eventually have to experience the storms of life alone to grow! One day, his son will become the eagle flying high and become his greatest pride!

After being sent out of Xuanwu Gate, Guo Zhengyu stopped and waved goodbye to Guo Zhiyuan. This made Guo Jingzhong help him turn around. Looking at the staggering back of his father, Guo Zhiyuan's tears came down!

Wiping away the tears and shook off the sadness, Guo Zhiyuan turned his head resolutely. There were too many difficulties and obstacles on the road ahead waiting for him to surpass. Suddenly, his eyes suddenly froze, showing an incredible look!
