The territory of the Tang Dynasty and the surrounding countries were roughly outlined. After Fang Yiai filled in the names of the countries, he put down his pen with confidence.
Feeling Yuchi Baolin's gaze, Fang Yiai looked up and realized, was the world map he drew a little too shocking?
But, is it really shocking?
Although he is lazy, doesn't like fighting, and doesn't like being involved in disputes, the painful lessons that history has taught his nation make Fang Yiai secretly worry about whether he can keep his people strong and bully others.
It doesn't matter, but you must not let others bully your own people
The smallest said "novel"
With the current strength of the Tang Dynasty, it is fully capable of developing navigation
Instead of waiting for others to wake up from the brutal fighting and develop Heihang Road to bully their own family, it is better to take advantage of the fact that our own people are strong and powerful, go out and beat down all the possible hidden dangers, and beat them until they have no courage.
Come to the land of Datang to bully people
Therefore, Fang Yiai feels that it is basically time to draw this world map.
Although some things may have to wait until Li Chengqian succeeds to the throne, some preliminary preparations need to be started now.
The smallest said "novel"
For example, the construction of large sea-going ships
"It was described by the businessmen who came and went at Hu Ji Restaurant." Fang Yiai opened his eyes wide and looked at Yuchi Baolin telling lies without a blush on his face.
"Persia, Dashi, I know, but what about this side? And this side?" Yuchi Baolin pointed to the large areas of Europe and Africa, looked directly into Fang Yiai's eyes, and asked
"Persian and Dashi merchants make a living by trading around. It's not surprising that their ancestors have been to these places," Fang Yiai said.
"The land is connected, and it is possible to have been there," Yuchi Baolin said, and then pointed to the American continent across the sea on the other side, and the lonely Australian continent and asked, "A land so far away in the ocean, Persia
A businessman who eats a lot can’t get across with his feet, horses and camels?”
At this time, Fang Yiai's head was really sweating. She was annoyed that she had forgotten for a moment that with the current navigation technology, it was still impossible to discover the American continent on the other side, let alone know its shape.
I don’t have a brain. I haven’t grown a brain after so many years. It’s true. Alas, it seems that I am still a little smarter when I am studying medicine.
Although she knew it was too late to remedy the situation, Fang Yiai still reached out and tore off the other two continents from the ocean.
"There are some things that I can't say and can't say. Can you pretend you haven't seen it?" Fang Yiai lit the torn paper with a fire folding stick, wiped the sweat on his head and looked at them with twinkling eyes.
Yuchi Baolin, who had a solemn face, smiled bitterly and said a little weakly.
"Isn't this what a businessman passing by Hu Ji's Restaurant said?" Yuchi Baolin glanced at the remaining map and asked seriously, his tone very sure.
"Not entirely," Fang Yiai nodded and said.
He stared at Fang Yiai for a while. Although he wanted to know how Fang Yiai knew so much, he also understood that Fang Yiai didn't want to say anything and he couldn't ask anything at all.
"Is there really so much land in the west and south of the Tang Dynasty?" Considering the past friendship and not wanting to have a bad relationship with the court in the future, Yuchi Baolin killed the idea of checking out Fang Yiai's background.
He quickly changed the subject excitedly and asked
His excitement was truly exciting. If everything in Fang Yiai's picture was real, then would the navy of the Tang Dynasty have many opportunities to make achievements in the future?
Increased opportunities for meritorious deeds also mean increased power and wealth
In the past, the reason why the navy was not taken seriously was because the imperial court had few opportunities to use the navy. This led to the incomplete establishment of the navy a few years ago and uneven strength...,
If these places really exist and the waterways can be opened, the navy will have a place to play. Are you afraid that you will not be able to lead the navy and show off your majesty?
Excitedly thinking about the majestic scene of being able to lead the Tang Dynasty navy and sailing all the way in the future, Yuchi Baolin completely forgot about why Fang Yiai knew such a big map, and instead pulled Fang Yiai to ask people from all over the place.
General situation, and considering the feasibility of opening water channels
Fang Yiai didn't know much about the world history in the early Tang Dynasty, but he did know a lot about geography. Fang Yiai could explain some to Yuchi Baolin. In order to strengthen Yuchi Baolin's determination to sail Heng, Fang Yiai even said something about it.
Tang: Some ordinary items were sought after at high prices in Heng
For example, if there were no high profits to seek, why would Persian and Dashi merchants travel thousands of miles to Datang to purchase goods?
Of course, if the Hefei Channel is to be opened, there are also great risks. After all, Fang Yi did not learn navigation in his previous life, and even his knowledge of geography was only the foundation he had before college. In addition, he likes to read.
Just remembered it
For the first time, Fang Yiai sincerely thanked her class teacher for three years in junior high school, that beautiful geography teacher. It was precisely because she did not look at lesson plans or books in class. In one class, all the maps were picked up at hand, and the content of the lecture was both
Vivid and engaging, this laid a good foundation for my geography.
"You said, now take the plan and propose to the emperor to build sea ships and let the navy carry the caravans around. Will the emperor agree?" Yuchi Baolin suggested excitedly.
"If you think my life is too rich and you can't stand it, you can take it to the emperor." Fang Yiai put a basin of cold water in his pocket and poured it on Yuchi Baolin, who was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
Yuchi Baolin was startled for a moment. After remembering who made this map, he finally slowly woke up from his excessive excitement.
"Are you drawing this map just to make me greedy and let the cat scratch my heart?" After reacting, Yuchi Baolin sat down leisurely, looked at Fang Yiai, and waited for Fang Yiai to be honest.
Explain the purpose of drawing this picture now
"Didn't you say that you and the little monkey want to get together?" Fang Yiai said, "I want to find something for him to do. Let him lead some people to try out. If successful, then I can follow him.
The emperor mentioned it, otherwise, I’m afraid the emperor won’t agree.”
"Let the little monkey take the people first?" Yuchi Baolin frowned and seriously thought about Fang Yiai's words and Jiangnan's current situation. After a long time, he nodded and said, "This is better than letting him stay here."
The capital is extremely uncomfortable. Moreover, if the sea voyage is successful, he will be used by the imperial court again, and he will have the capital to gain a foothold."
"That's what I thought too. However," Fang Yiai paused and said with a wry smile, "When you go to sea, there are certain dangers. As long as you set sail, no one can guarantee that the ship will return smoothly.
Everyone can come back alive."
"I know that the first batch of people must be voluntary, and the other thing is the construction of large sea ships." Yuchi Baolin nodded and said
"Since we are not planning to sail in the name of the imperial court, it is best to use private shipyards to build large sea ships. I do know a shipyard that can build large sea ships. However, as for the wood, it must be good and solid wood.
Basically, there is only one timber merchant named Qi who can find it. He seems to be from the emperor." Yuchi Baolin said. Obviously, it is Xiaofang Yiai who can find a way to solve the problem of good timber.
Fang Yiai did not hesitate, and immediately nodded and said, "My master has some friendship with that person. I think if I get some wood, I can still have some dignity. If not, I will go to the prince to have a look."...,
"Well, do you have any ideas about shipbuilding?" Combining his and Hou Zanjun's experiences of growing up in the Jiangnan navy, as well as the strange geography that Fang Yiai just explained to him, Yuchi Baolin no longer dared to underestimate Fang Yiai.
, so I asked for advice.
"I don't understand shipbuilding," Fang Yiai said. "However, I suggest that when building a ship, it is best to find some mechanics to build some offensive and defensive facilities on the ship. After all, it is difficult to determine the dangers ahead. It is up to one's own strength to complete the task."
Safety first”
Hearing this, Yuchi Baolin breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this kid doesn't know everything. It seems that he knows so much. He should have some adventures. Just like in the legend, Zhang Liang met Huang Shigong by chance, and Fang Yiai also met Huang Shigong.
I have seen that kind of master who is not born in the world. With the help of such a person who is favored by the master, I believe that in the future, His Royal Highness will become a wise king.
If the future king is a wise king, that means everyone’s future will be brighter
With hope for the future life, Yuchi Baolin looked at Fang Yiai with eyes brightly, thinking about whether he could let his daughter marry into the Fang family and become in-laws with Fang Yiai in the future.
complete?
If Fang Yiai knew what Yuchi Baolin was thinking, he would definitely put on a melancholy pose looking up at a 45-degree angle
As for why Yuchi Baolin doesn't want his son to marry the daughter of his adopted wife, ahem, isn't it because the princess's belly has not moved yet? Who knows if there will be any movement in the future, or is it a comparison between the two ready-made ones?
good
In other words, Jinqi Jinlin is already on Yuchi Baolin’s mind.
"Okay, let me go to Zan Jun's place and tell him that I took the picture. Without the picture, I'm afraid that my eloquence will not be able to convince him." Yuchi Baolin opened his eyes and told lies.
"He wants to ask you, where did the map come from?" Fang Yiai pressed the map and asked Yuchi Baolin worriedly.
"It was painted by a Persian businessman, and I snatched it away through hard work." Yuchi Baolin glanced at the jagged edges and said without thinking.
Knowing that Yuchi Baolin was not a talker, Fang Yiai let go with a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Fusaki's voice was heard from outside the study, saying, "Second Young Master, His Royal Highness Prince Jin and His Highness Prince Wei are here to visit and are waiting in the Youran Pavilion in the back garden."
