Chapter 46

Lu Desheng's study room is divided into two floors: an outer study room for his family's reading, and an inner study room where he handles official business, similar to a dedicated office.

Lu Songli felt that they should be able to spend time there until the two ladies had finished discussing the matter.

When the two of them arrived in the study, they found Lu Desheng and Qin Heng playing chess.

This outer study room is 40 square meters, with low couches by the windows suitable for reading on the east and west sides. People reading in these two places will hardly disturb each other as long as they don't speak loudly.

They said hello and went to the other end of the study. Lu Songli randomly picked up a book and sat down to read.

Qin Sheng discovered that the Lu family actually had a map of Dali. At this time, the map was being opened and placed on a wooden shelf, and this shelf was placed right next to Lu Songli. Looking at Lu Songli's comfortable look, it was obvious that there was nothing missing.

Come to her father's study.

Qin Sheng came closer and looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became. He was extremely familiar with the map.

The map of the Lu family is no worse than the one collected by the Qin family. It can even be said to be very close to the one surveyed by the Qin family. Such a clear and detailed map should not be available anywhere except the emperor. I want to come to the Lu family.

This one should be a reward from the emperor.

Only then did Qin Sheng have a clear understanding of the favor of his future father-in-law.

Although Lu Songli was reading, she also noticed his actions. She thought that he was indeed the young general who fought in the south and north in the original book. When he came to the outer study, he noticed the map she had opened the first time.

That's right, she got this map from her father. These days when she is busy, she is thinking about what kind of compensation she wants from the Xie family. The amount of compensation must be measured well. She won't be happy with less, and she won't be happy with more.

Yes, the Xie family is unwilling. This map is for her to use when thinking. After all, the compensation that the Xie family can give

Apart from the rare treasures of gold, silver and land, there is nothing else. Of course, they also have intangible wealth such as connections in the officialdom. But the Lu family has no need for this. Her father has expressed his loyalty to the emperor.

, there is no need to go up any higher. Even without her father, they would not dare to use the Xie family's connections.

Lu Songli had no intention of not paying compensation, but letting the Xie family owe this favor for the future. First of all, the Xie family was definitely not willing. Furthermore, this favor was actually like power, it might become void after it expires.

The original owner's life-saving grace is always there, but will the Xie family's favor always be valuable? Not necessarily.

Cashing out as soon as possible and maximizing cashing out is the purpose of her busy work during this period.

Lu Songli felt a little depressed when she thought of this.

The Queen Mother's marriage decree was in vain, but it was a pity that she had planned for so long and allowed the situation to develop and ferment, and as she expected, the Zhao family also involved a bigger judge - the Queen Mother.

She thought she could take advantage of her strength and take the opportunity to kill the Xie family, but now it's all gone. Her parents will go to the Xie family later. Although the Xie family is willing to pay some compensation, it will definitely be much less than what she planned to get if it went smoothly.

a lot of.

Forget it, what is lost is what is gained. No matter how much the Xie family compensates her, it will definitely not be as good as a gold medal for immunity from death. Besides, she also has an idea in her mind about what kind of compensation she will ask for from the Xie family. Lu Songli

When I thought about it, I felt relieved.

Lu Songli came back to her senses and found Qin Sheng sitting in front of the map in a daze. She ignored him, leaned back comfortably on the chair and opened another page of the book.

"Do you just leave your family's map like this?" Qin Sheng asked softly.

"Otherwise?" Lu Songli replied casually. She never thought that the map that would be seen everywhere in later generations could be regarded as a military secret here.

Qin Sheng mentioned the importance of maps to her.

Lu Songli asked him with a smile, "Do you think outsiders can come in here casually?" Although she did not put the map away, the study was such a big place that ordinary people could not enter.

Although Lu Songli made excuses, he still heard that she didn't care about the map. Qin Sheng pursed his lips, a little unhappy. You know, in order to survey and improve this map, especially the part near the border, they

The Qin family army paid a heavy price.

"And this map is too eye-catching. I have never seen such an ugly map before." Lu Songli muttered, and the rest of the words were barely audible.

The territory of Dali was drawn on this map. She was used to the fact that the country's territory was represented by a rooster. When she first saw this map, she felt very uncomfortable. Compared with the rooster, the territory of Dali had shrunk.

One-third of the head is like a lion's head with two long ears.

It hurts the eyes? What does this mean? She probably didn't touch the peppercorns and garlic with her hands just now, right? How could it hurt the eyes? Also, what did she say, saying the map was ugly? Hearing this, Qin Sheng's expression was hard to describe.

"The map was drawn based on Dali's current actual territory survey. You can't deviate from reality just to look good, right?"

"Of course I know what you are talking about, but wouldn't it look much better if Qianghu, Xianbei, Goguryeo, Sanhan and other places were painted?" Lu Songli said confidently.

Qin Sheng was speechless, no, that is someone else's territory. No matter how beautiful you are, you can't push it into your arms. However, his eyes kept falling on the map, and a picture emerged in his mind unconsciously. According to

What she said is that if you embed the territories of these foreign tribes one by one on the edge of the map, it seems that it will really look much better.

"Wait a minute, do you also know that outside the territory of our country are Qianghu, Xianbei, Goguryeo, and Sanhan?" Qin Sheng suddenly realized this, and added in his heart, as if he also knew the location and size of their territories.

Lu Songli secretly rolled her eyes in her heart. What's all the fuss about? She is someone who knows exactly how the global territory of the seven continents and five oceans is distributed. Although she is traveling through the books, Dali has never appeared in the official history.

, but according to the national map, she

Based on the size and customs of Dali, it is speculated that Dali should be equivalent to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties in official history. In addition, there are relevant data to support it. It is known that besides Dali there are Qianghu, Xianbei, Goguryeo, Sanhan and other tribes, and there is a problem with their approximate territorial size.

?

Thinking of this, Qin Sheng looked her up and down.

He probably knew what women were like at this time. Some girls' families never left the city where they were born from birth to death. Most of the girls lived within a ten-mile radius between their parents and husband's family.

Unless they encounter natural or man-made disasters and need to flee, they have little knowledge of foreign races outside of Dali.

The women in the capital were better than them, but at most they occasionally knew the names of one or two foreigners through fighting, and could not tell where these foreigners were outside of Dali. Unlike her, she could name them all and keep them in mind.

Lu Songli stood tall and motionless, letting him do whatever he wanted, just looking at him.

Lu Songli has no intention of hiding her knowledge, talents, vision, etc. Firstly, the Qin family is about to be in disaster, and she needs the right to speak. Secondly, she is not willing to let others decide her own life.

They don’t even have the right to observe and participate.

Finally, Qin Sheng stood in front of the map and scratched his head. He vaguely realized that the wife he wanted to marry was a bit special. Suddenly, he felt that he could not understand Xie Zhan. How could he allow a good marriage to happen?

The Zhao family is trying to interfere? They are both men, so he really can't understand. Is Zhao Yutan better than Lu Songli?

But from the current point of view, this is not necessarily the case. It is obvious that Lu Songli is better than Zhao Yutan. Here, it refers specifically to her brain. In terms of appearance, the two of them have their own characteristics and cannot be compared.
