"Your Majesty, Wen Hao is in charge of his official position and cannot be polite. I am ashamed!" Although he was an important minister of the Song Dynasty court, in the circle of literati, Wen Hao and his aides were not even qualified to be in the middle of the line.≯ They also had this self-knowledge and waited obediently at the end of the team without any resentment. It was not until Hong Tao accompanied several foreign scholars to him that he bowed his fists and gave Hong Tao a big gift.

"Oh, the ancestors of the Wen family have accumulated virtues. It is a joy to congratulate you two talents. You two brothers are comparable to Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin, an important minister of the Song Dynasty and a pillar of the Empire. There will be another good story in the future. Come on, everyone, some of them may know each other, and some may not be familiar with them. I will introduce a few more words. This brother Wen Dexinwen is the cousin of Wen Beiming, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire. In my eyes, both of them are great talents! One is calm and heavy, the other is elegant and free, and the other is elegant and free, and having a child should be like Erwen. If my son can also serve in the Empire in the future and the other goes to the Song Dynasty to become an official, I will laugh out loud when I lie in the grave."

"Come on, since today is the opening ceremony, how can we not be without wine? Taking this opportunity, I only express my sincere gratitude to you on behalf of myself and these foreign scholars who have come from afar. Regardless of whether our political views are the same or our views on things are consistent, it is a great thing to be able to come together to discuss together. I have not learned my history well, and there is no hope for citing scriptures, but I know that the ancestors of the Han people will often gather scholars from all over the world to sit together to debate. There is also a saying in my hometown, which is that it is said that it is impossible to distinguish the truth and not to understand the matter! No matter how you think, it is always no harm to listen to other people's thoughts. Everyone raises their glasses and drink it all!"

Seeing Wen Hao's sunny face, Hong Tao wanted to punch him in his nose with one punch. Unfortunately, it was not that he could give Wen Nan's face, but that this guy was becoming more and more important. Not only was he a bargaining chip in the eyes of Song Lizong, but he had to use him as a bargaining chip. I admire him, just a person who was not even a Jinshi, just by relying on the opportunity to run a newspaper, he reached the position of a national chief official in less than seven or eight years. It really opened his eyes. This is a real traitor!

Although he can't beat him up, Hong Tao can cause him some trouble, and there is no need to worry too much. As long as he praises him sincerely, he will focus on his relationship with Wen Nan. According to the petty hearts of those people in the Song Dynasty court, Wen Hao will have countless troubles. Although everyone knows these things, the taste will be different when he speaks them from the emperor.

What made Wen Hao grit his teeth and hate Hong Tao actually used the matter of Zhuge brothers to compare him and Wen Nan. This does not mean telling everyone that he and Wen Nan are just betting on the interests of the family. Although the two of them appear to serve two countries, they have a deep relationship in private, so it is almost Xu Shu who entered Cao's camp. Now Wen Hao has a higher understanding of Hong Tao. This emperor is not only thick-skinned, but also has a calculating heart, and he doesn't need a knife to kill people!

The layout of the venue is very simple, it is the staircase classroom where the public classes of the Nautical School. In addition to the rising seats, the most surprising thing for those who came here is the four large blackboards behind the podium, each of which is made of two glasses that are more than one meter high and two meters long. Don’t talk about workmanship. Just pulling these pieces of glass to Guangzhou can change to a house. What’s more, there are large windows more than one person on both sides of the east and west of this big room, and the glass is inlaid on it, but each one is not as big as a blackboard.

At this time, even the most demanding person had to secretly pick a thumbs up. The rumors that Emperor Hong was keen on education were not nonsense. How much does it cost to build such a large school on a deserted island? And it was not fooling. Although each building is weird and ugly in appearance, it is very material. You can understand it by looking at these glass windows.

"You are all respected scholars. This is what my hometown calls it, which means people who like to study and learn a lot. So are you really scholars? I have some questions. Why do you say this? It's not that I want to deliberately insult you. In some aspects, many of the people here are much better than me. But why do I have this question? The reason is very simple. Everyone doesn't know enough about the world."

Hong Tao's opening remarks are as vulgar and white as ever, and a bit exciting. If anyone knows Hong Tao, he will definitely be vigilant. The more this happens, the more the emperor will have a backup plan, waiting for someone to jump out to object, and then use strong evidence to slap you back.

"...I have a basis for saying this. Don't worry, come and look at my picture to know why I said this." Unfortunately, after waiting for a few seconds, no one from below brought his face to beat him. Hong Tao was very disappointed, so he had to take out the trick himself. It was a large map, almost occupying a half-blackboard.

"This is a world map. Who painted it? It took me and my students more than fifteen years. Every coastline, every island, every strait, and every river on it was seen with my own eyes and strictly calculated, with an error of between 200 meters and 2 miles. In other words, my students and I spent fifteen years to basically go through places in the world with people and countries. It was not just a quick look, but a careful understanding of their laws, culture, religion and other things. Not only did they bring back their words, language, books, but also spread our words and books."

"So I think I have the qualifications to simply compare who has higher knowledge and who has shortcomings. As for whether this picture is drawn correctly, I have also found several witnesses. I have invited several scholars from different countries and have traveled to many places. After their identification, my map is still reliable. If you are interested, you can come up and take a look. If you are not very good at your eyes, please open the small box on the table, which contains specialties from Jinhe Country, which can make everyone see more clearly. It is a thank you gift to you. Thank you for traveling thousands of miles to listen to my nagging."

The map that Hong Tao hung was indeed a real picture and a copy of the data he and all the captains and the navigators worked hard to accumulate for fifteen years. What do you think? Only Hong Tao knew the real picture, but not a whole picture, but dozens of real and fake area maps mixed together, and none of the data on the picture was real. If you want to see the full picture of this map, you have to have a small notebook full of data assisted.

Hong Tao saw this picture more important than the throne. If he lost the throne, he could still rely on this picture to travel all over the world. Even if he was a pirate, he would be the most successful, most powerful and richest pirate in the world. If he lost this picture, he would have wasted more than half of his time in the past ten years. I wonder if there was another fifteen years to accumulate data for him.

In this replica, there are missing some archipelagos in the Americas, Antarctica, Australia and some archipelagos in the Pacific. On the one hand, Hong Tao doesn't want to tell others that there are still three large 6s in the world at this time. On the other hand, he does not have the exact data of these large 6s and islands in his hands, so he can't draw them up. In fact, even if it is a semi-finished product, this picture is enough to look down on the world. Just a scale can stump the cartographers and mathematicians all over the world. Without field survey data, even if they understand the principle of scale, they can't calculate it. Without the concept of latitude and longitude, they don't even have the opportunity to conduct field surveys.
