Chapter Ninety-Six: The Vast World

As soon as he saw the map, he became a little excited.

Chen Wenhui doesn't have anything, this is not a detailed sea chart, just a simple world map, and he is not afraid that Mu Li will reveal any secrets when he sees it. In fact, such a simple world map is now available in the schools of Xinguang City and Nanyang Zhucheng on Yizhou Island.

As soon as Shuilian spread out the entire map, Mu Li's eyes straightened.

Chen Wenhui began to introduce, here is the sea area where we are now, here is the capital of Dachu, here is the Xinguang City of Yizhou Island, here are several cities in the South Seas, here is the country of Siam, here is the city of Guangzhou, here is the southern Xinjiang region, here is the clan land of the Wang family, here is the clan land of the Li family, here is the clan land of the Bai family, here is the Wa Kingdom, here is Silla, Goguryeo, of course, now this is the clan land of the Chen family. This is the city of Shanghai, the newly built Xiongcheng of Dachu, and the birthplace of maritime trade.

Mu Li muttered: "It turns out that our southern Xinjiang is really a corner of the country." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Southern Xinjiang is a corner of the country, and Dachu is very vast, but compared with the whole world, Dachu seems small. You see, this is North and South America. There are a lot of rare plants here, as well as gold. This is the Indian continent, this is Africa, where there are a lot of lions. There are also black natives. This is Europe, now there is civilization, there are many small countries, and there are many stories of princes and princesses. This is Oceania, and there is an animal called a kangaroo that jumps and walks. Of course, the seafood here is also the best, and there is a large lobster, which is very delicious. And here, this white place. This is Antarctica. It is covered in snow all year round. That's right, Mulley. You haven't seen ice or snow yet. The ice and snow in this Antarctica are bigger than the ice and snow in the capital and the northwest of the country. ”

Muli was dumbfounded. Ban Xiang said: "Really, compared to the whole world, Da Chu is also small. I didn't expect that there are so many magical places and so many magical things in the world, and I used to sit in the well and watch the sky. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Compared with the whole earth, our land is small. The ratio of all land to sea is three to seven. That's why the ocean is the most expansive. This is the Pacific Ocean, this is the Indian Ocean. This is the Arctic Ocean, this is the Atlantic. ”

Mu Li didn't say anything for a long time.

Chen Wenhui said: "If you like this map, I will give it to you." Go back and enjoy it slowly. Now let's drink this flower tea first. When sailing at sea, it is most likely to lack vitamins, and this flower and fruit tea can supplement vitamins. ”

Mulley is ecstatic, busy thank you.

Chen Wenhui called the water lotus to Mu Li to roll up the map. Chen Wenhui said: "We have a princess in Da Chu, I don't know if you know?" Princess Lichuan is the eldest princess of the former emperor. Originally. According to the rules of Da Chu, the eldest princess is very powerful, more powerful than the prince and the prince. More powerful than the royal family's Zongren Mansion and the Zongren Order. Characters who can influence the world. In the past dynasties, there were only eldest princesses or virtuous princesses. or the sister of the successor emperor can take on it. ”

"Princess Lichuan is the eldest daughter of the previous emperor. She is the only daughter of the former queen and the current queen mother, who is also my great-aunt. The status is noble, and she is the eldest sister of the current emperor. She married the Xu family. It is also a famous family in Da Chu, with a rich family background. She herself is very capable. It is one of the best in the capital of Dachu. The emperor loved her very much, and let the two of them sit in Shanghai for so many years. The current emperor also respects her. She and the current Empress Chen are still cousins. But. She didn't become the eldest princess. ”

Mu Li was a little surprised, the eldest princess of Da Chu was so powerful, he had also heard of it in southern Xinjiang. How can there still be people who give up such a position above ten thousand people under one person?

Chen Wenhui continued: "Because Princess Lichuan was born in the royal family, she hates the struggle of the royal family to seize the heir. I want to stay away from the fight. The situation in Da Chu is too complicated. The royal family, the four major families, the famous scholars, and the nobles are vying for power, and they are in a mess. Because she guarded the city of Shanghai with her husband all the year round, she first started sea trade, and her horizons were broadened, so she gave up the power of Great Chu and went to Siam with her husband, just on the edge of southern Xinjiang, defeated the army of the ancient Siam country, and built a big city there, the Lion City. The city is almost ready to be built now. It's already possible to go to trade. In the future, she and her husband will slowly take all the places around Siam, which is a vast area than southern Xinjiang. It will be the land of the descendants of her Lichuan princess in the future. ”

Mu Li was only interested at first, his mind had not yet been withdrawn from the map, he just thought that Chen Wenhui was chatting about family life, but as he listened to this story, his thoughts increased.

Chen Wenhui said: "Master Muli, you say, is it when the eldest princess of Da Chu is alive, when she is alive, one person is above ten thousand people, and the descendants of the family are all high-ranking officials, and after her death, the tree will fall and scatter, and the children and grandchildren will slowly become an ordinary family?" Or is it better to have a clan land like Princess Lichuan, and the descendants are all city lords and country lords? ”

Mu Li couldn't help but open his mouth and said, "Of course Princess Lichuan is so good now." Princess Lichuan is such a smart person. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and chatted with Zhao Chongyi instead, all of which were ordinary content, such as today's weather, the clothes that match very well, and the topic of what to eat tomorrow. After chatting for a while, Chen Wenhui and his wife said goodbye and went back to the room to rest.

Mu Li was a little depressed and couldn't help but walk to Class A.

At this moment, night has fallen, there is no moon today, there is indeed a sky full of starlight, this starlight, and the dark sea outside, it seems very quiet.

Mu Li was blown by the sea breeze, but he felt a little cold, and was about to speak, when two people came over, one was his escort Jiang Jun, and the other was his eldest maid Mingzi. Akiko holds a large cloak in her hand, and she still has a windy edge. Mingzi said, "Childe, the sea breeze is still very cold this night, hurry up and put on your cloak, right?" Catch a cold carefully. ”

Jiang Jun said: "Childe, when sailing at night, it is best not to stand on Class A, it is easy to fall into the sea. ”

Muli nodded, put on his cloak, and followed Akiko and the two back to his cabin.

After returning to the cabin, Gardenia hurriedly arrived for a cup of tea and handed it over. The warm tea made the cold hands feel better than the cold ones.

When he saw Jiang Jun preparing to go out, his heart moved, and he asked, "Jiang Jun, where are you from?" How did you become the guardian of the City Lord's Mansion? ”

Jiang Jun hurriedly replied respectfully: "I am a disciple of the Central Plains Kuiyi School, after completing the martial arts and going down the mountain, I went to Nanyang as a guard after being introduced by my senior brother. ”

Mu Li asked, "I think you're different from ordinary guards, you must have blood on your hands?" There's a murderous aura about you. Have you ever been on the battlefield? ”

I have to say that Mu Li has a good eye. Jiang Jun was silent for a moment and said, "The guards of our City Lord's Mansion have all fought in the South Seas. I have also killed a lot of natives, so I have also received a lot of money in terms of meritorious deeds. Now he has bought a house in Qingchun City, and there are several maids and servants, and they also have wives, but they have no children. However, because he had a family, he didn't want to stay in the army, so he was transferred back to the city lord's mansion. This time it came out because of a special mission. It's been a long time since I've been back to my home in Qingchun City. ”

Mulley understood. I'm afraid that the people on these ten ships have all been on the battlefield. After all, to protect the safety of Chen Wenhui and his wife, he will not use those incapable recruits, he must be elite soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles.

Mu Li thought of the map he had brought back, and said to Jiang Jun: "I'm tired of you, you can go back and rest." I'm going to rest too. ”

Jiang Jun saluted and retreated.

Akiko and Gardenia made the bed and folded the quilt for Muli, and Muli asked, "Mingzi, did the water lotus girl bring the map?" ”

The name hurriedly said: "I took it, do you want to see it now?" ”

"That's a treasure, of course I'll see it now." Hurry up and bring that candlestick too. ”

Akiko hurriedly went to get it, and Gardenia on the side was already laughing.

Akiko glared at Gardenia. Gardenia hurriedly held back a laugh. There's something strange about Muli. These two maids, after a few days of contact, he has roughly grasped their personalities. Mingzi is dignified and generous, delicate, and neat in his work. Gardenias, on the other hand, are much more lively. Generally, for Gardenia's bad words and deeds, Mingzi will restrain them. Gardenia also listens to Akiko's words the most.

At this moment, Mu Li knew that there must be something he didn't know, but Akiko didn't want Gardenia to say it, taking care of his face.

Mu Li smiled and said, "Mingzi, don't care about Gardenia like this, let Gardenia say it, why are you laughing?" But it has to do with the valuable map of this volume. This was just given to me by the county lord. ”

Gardenia looked at Akiko, Akiko looked at Mu Li, and nodded helplessly to Gardenia.

Gardenia said: "This map is in Nanyang and in Xinguang City, and every student has seen it. There are in every school, where is it precious? Well, if you want to say that it is precious, it is also because it is something used by the county lord, so it is precious. Also, the things in our city lord's mansion are all high-quality products. It's this simple world map, which is not made of ordinary paper in our city lord's mansion, this one is drawn with very good snow wave paper. It is also beautifully framed. Well, there is also this network, which is the two big red wishful luck lines hanging under the map, how exquisitely played. I can't fight it anyway. It should have been produced by Mama Gui. Sister, do you say? ”

Muli was dumbfounded. (To be continued......)
