Yanyang is prosperous and lively, and Zhan Ying likes it here. She loves to see people from all over the world living together in a friendly and peaceful way, and she loves the atmosphere of the city. Yanyang has a strong business atmosphere and transactions are carried out in an orderly manner. Under the rule of the city lord, Yanyang has been peaceful in the past two years, and Yaoguo has not invaded in the past two years, which is also the peripheral guarantee of Yanyang's prosperous scene.
Although Zhan Ying was born in Jiangmen, because of this, Zhan Ying loves peace. She doesn't like war. Since I was a child, I watched my father and my brother go on the expedition, and every time before the expedition, I had to be separated from my family, and I had to make sure that this was the last other plan. A few years ago, the fourth brother died on the battlefield, and his body was unrecognizable, and he could only be identified by the name embroidered on the inside of his armor. The coffin was sent back to Jingdu a few months later, and the mother cried and fainted several times. Zhan Ying only hopes that there will be fewer wars, less wars, and fewer families in the world will experience life and death.
After visiting the east and west cities, it is almost dusk, it seems that today can not go to the south of Langfang, wait for the next day of Mu to go again. Thinking like this, Zhan Ying found a chair and sat down at a roadside stall with a pot stove, ordered a bowl of noodles and finished eating, and planned to go back to the fortification camp.
"Boss Li, that Lu madman is here again, he comes to you every day to eat noodles for nothing, and it is a kind-hearted person like you who is like this, if it weren't for you, he would have starved to death."
The owner of the noodle stall surnamed Li smiled honestly while kneading the noodles, "It's just a bowl of noodles, it's not worth a few dollars, and he's also strange and pitiful, he disappeared a few years ago, and when he comes back, he does strange things and talks nonsense." ā
Another diner asked, "Does he still sit on the roof every day and watch the sun and the stars?" ā
Boss Li shook his head and sighed, "It's getting more and more serious recently, in addition to watching the sun and stargazing, he started scribbling every day, and told me that when he finished writing the book, he would pay me ten times the face money... It's pathetic. ā
At this time, a man in the corner wearing a dirty and tattered blue robe, messy hair, and a stubble beard that couldn't see his face clearly raised his head, "I'm really not talking nonsense, why don't you believe me, the land we are standing on is really round!" Hey, when I finish compiling this calendar and send it to the emperor, I will be able to get ten thousand taels of gold. ā
At this time, the diners laughed again: "Lu madman, if this land is round, how can we stand, and how can we put the things on the ground?" When Zhan Ying heard this, she bowed her head, this was also her question, so she looked at the Lu madman and waited for him to answer.
"You don't know, this circle is so big that you can't tell it to be round......
Then the diners asked, "Then according to what you said, the earth is round, and there is a sea under our earth, and there are other continents, and there are people living there, and these people will not fall down with their heads down?" ā
Lu Luozi casually took the chopsticks high, let go of his hand, fell down, and then took the feather duster used by the shopkeeper next to him to clean, plucked a feather, although the feather swayed, but still fell to the ground.
"You see, everything grows on the ground, and when things are lost in the air, they also fall downward, and we all stand on the ground, which means that the big ball we are in is a huge magnet that sucks everything to the ground, and that's why they don't fall, and besides, for them, we are head-down." When Lumad said this, his eyes lit up.
Zhan Ying actually thought that maybe he was right, but the diners were used to seeing him talking nonsense, so Xiaoxiao stopped arguing with him.
Zhan Ying became very interested, "Mr. Lu, how did you know that the earth is round?" ā
Lu Madman Xu had never met anyone who didn't treat him as a madman and was willing to talk to him seriously, and he talked to Zhan Ying endlessly about his experience in the past few years.
It turned out that this Lu madman's original name was Lu Zhen, and he liked to study calendars, star images, etc. Because people always say that the sky is round and the earth is round, he thought, if the earth is square, then there must be a boundary, where is the boundary? The sky is like a cover, round and round on the ground, so when you go to the boundary of the earth, can you touch the edge of the sky? Lu Zhen was stubborn because of this, and he was determined to go to the boundary of the earth and the border of the sky to see.
He set out all the way from Yasukuni, passed through Yaoguo, and passed through Wuguo, where there is a very large mountain that is rarely visited by people. After the mountains, there is a jungle. During this period, all kinds of sinister dangers almost cost him his life. But he went all the way anyway. Then he went to a place where there were people, and it was, according to his description, a large desert, and the language was different from that of all the people in Yuzhou. After going through hardships, he crossed the desert and arrived at the continent of Solo.
Everywhere he went, he found that the time of sunrise was different, and the position of the stars was also different, and he carefully recorded all this.
Until the Solo continent was also finished, he still did not reach the end of the sky, and he met the sea. In addition to the people of the Solo Continent who went east to the Yuzhou continent, there were also those who went to the sea and went west to another continent, and Lu Zhen never knew that there were other lands. So they boarded the westbound ship.
When he arrived at the place, the people there had white skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes, which were different from the people he had seen before, and Lu Zhenfang knew how big this world was.
Later, it was very tortuous, when he encountered land, he left, and when he encountered sea, he took a boat, Lu Zhen almost lost his life countless times, but as long as he was alive, he would move forward. The last place to arrive is actually the southern Zhejiang country!! He couldn't believe it, he kept walking and walking, and he didn't go to the edge of the sky, but he actually arrived in Nanzhejiang!
It wasn't until he walked back to Yanyang not long ago that he believed that the land we were standing on was actually round.
Because he recorded the sunrise and sunset along the way, and recorded the position of the star statue, he planned to write a travelogue to record what he saw and heard along the way, and the customs and customs of the whole journey. The most important thing was to make a calendar, and he believed that his calendar would make a sensation and be passed on to future generations!
Zhan Ying listened to him talk about his experience, sometimes interesting, sometimes dangerous, Zhan Ying sighed, there are people in the world who have such courage to take action for their own ideas.
"Mr. Lu, I believe that what you said is true, although I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I believe what you said." Zhan Ying looked at Lu Zhen sincerely.
"You must hold on to your faith until you have finished compiling the calendar. I believe that the calendar you compiled will make you famous for eternity. After hearing this, Lu Zhen's eyes were slightly moist, no one had ever listened to him so carefully, believed in him, and encouraged him.
"I'm calculating the time of the next Tengu Eclipse Day, and if I can do it correctly and prove it, I'll be able to prove that my calendar is calculated correctly, and I'll be the first to let you read my book."
Zhan Ying nodded, "When the time comes, I will come to read Mr.'s travelogue and learn your calendar algorithm." Also, be sure to accept this. Zhan Ying took out 2 taels of silver, which is enough for ordinary people to eat coarse tea and light rice for a year.
Lu Zhen was a little embarrassed: "How can this be made... ā
Zhan Ying smiled, "I have read the biography, but all those who have achieved fame have had times when they were in trouble, this is just a brief expression of my support for Mr., not a tribute." Lu Zhen is also a person with a true temperament, so he no longer shirked and accepted it.
