The area of the entire picture is larger than expected, almost covering the entire table. The texture is not made of paper, but an extremely flexible leather material, whether it is sheepskin or the skin of some animal.
On the slightly yellowed leather surface, charcoal was used to outline thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and towns and villages of all sizes were marked and scattered among the mountains and rivers. It looked a bit shocking.
Xiao Lingyue opened her eyes wide, glanced slowly over, and couldn't help but admire: "What a wonderful picture!"
So detailed!
There are even size notes below.
Every mountain peak and every river is drawn at the same scale.
Xiao Lingyue saw several places she had been to on the map, compared the sizes and converted them, and found that the error was very small.
Although it is not as good as modern high-precision maps.
But it was several times more accurate than the Nanyan military map she had seen next to Murong Ye in her previous life.
Such a picture, placed in the Seven Kingdoms, can be regarded as a priceless treasure!
If you take it out and sell it...
The other six countries will definitely fight to grab it!
Especially Nan Yan, I am afraid that I will do whatever it takes to get it.
Because in ancient times, marching and fighting relied heavily on terrain. As long as you get accurate maps and master the terrain advantages, the combat effectiveness of the army can be increased to the highest level.
As the saying goes, the time, place, and people are favorable.
Geographical advantage refers to geographical advantages.
The prince smiled and glanced at her: "Can you understand the territory map?"
Xiao Lingyue paused for a moment and said cautiously: "I can understand a little bit, but I'm not very proficient."
Territory maps are not something that ordinary people can see, let alone understand. The dimensions marked on them need to be converted separately, and people with no experience or special training cannot understand them at all.
You can only look at the map like a picture album, how can you tell whether it is subtle or not?
The prince may have just asked inadvertently.
Xiao Lingyue heard this and immediately closed the flaw.
But it's still too late.
Zhan Beihan's stern eyes fell on her: "You can see that this map is exquisite, and it's more than just a little understanding of it, right?"
Xiao Lingyue said coldly: "What else is it?"
Zhan Beihan was speechless, his eyes became colder and focused on her.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, the prince interrupted: "Okay, let's get down to business first. Miss Shen, look here, this is Thousand Buddha Mountain."
He pointed at a group of mountains on the map and explained: "Thousand Buddha Mountain, really should be called the Thousand Buddha Mountain Range. It is a undulating mountain range with beautiful scenery, with thousands of different peaks, large and small. The shapes of the peaks
It resembles a Buddha statue, so it is named Thousand Buddha Mountain."
Xiao Lingyue looked at the position of his finger: "Is this not far from the capital?"
"Yes, if you travel by car, you can get there in about two days' drive."
The prince added: "The scenery of Qianfo Mountain is excellent, and the climate in summer is comfortable. It has been a summer resort for the royal family throughout the ages. There is a huge royal courtyard, covering an area of almost a dozen mountain peaks.
I have heard from my father before that the summer resort in Qianfo Mountain is in disrepair and needs to be demolished and rebuilt. This is the reason why the Ministry of Industry has transported wood and stone materials to Qianfo Mountain in recent years."
Xiao Lingyue asked: "Since Qianfo Mountain is a mountain range, there must be no shortage of wood and stones. The Ministry of Industry wants to rebuild the other courtyard, why not use local materials? Instead, they have to laboriously transport them from the capital?"
The prince laughed and said: "This is because Qianfo Mountain belongs to the royal family. The mountain is a summer retreat, and the foot of the mountain is a hunting place for the royal family. Every plant, tree, stone and scenery inside is owned by the royal family. How dare the Ministry of Industry dare to mess with it?"
