It didn't take long for Qu Ping to put the brush aside, confidently admiring his paintings, and said, "Everyone, look, this is the overall situation of the world!" ”

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu hurriedly found someone to find the map of the world centered on Shenzhou Huaxia that had been determined, and it was indeed very similar to one of the parts drawn by Qu Ping. Zhao Gou took the map of the Ministry of Works, compared it with Qu Ping's detail, and muttered: "Miraculous, it turns out that the land of my Shenzhou accounts for one-tenth of the world!" ”

Qu Ping explained: "Your Majesty, please see, above the Central Plains, on the right is the Jin Kingdom, on the left is the Western Xia, to the west is the countries of the Western Regions, Western Liao, Uighurs, Tubo, on the top is the Mongolian tribe, directly to the far north, very desolate, but still the territory is vast, look at this inner lake, is the land of Su Wu shepherd, above is the Arctic Circle, frozen snow cover. To the west, Western Liao used to be Khorezm, past the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea, where there were the Roman Empire, the Kingdom of England, the Byzantine Empire, etc. It is a large expanse of the Mediterranean Sea, in the middle of two continents. To the east of the Mediterranean Sea is the Arab Empire, to the south are some black kingdoms, the territory is vast, but the products are poor, the people live in poverty, but there are many diamonds! ”

Qu Ping took the map in the emperor's hand and put it aside for comparison: "To the south of Tibet, there is a country of Asan, its north is surrounded by high mountains, and the other three are surrounded by the sea, so it is very difficult to enter by land. To the south of Dali, there are some small countries, as well as the island countries of the South China Sea, where tropical products are abundant, and rice can be exchanged for abundant and cheap rice from here all year round. Look, the two big islands of the Great Song Dynasty have very important geographical locations, Hainan Island and Liuqiu Island. To the east of the East China Sea, this is our vassal countries - Ryukyu and Japan, and here is Goryeo, in fact, they are not far away. ”

Zhao Gou asked: "Then there is still here here, and there is such a big land, what kind of country is it?" ”

"The emperor asked well! This is Australia, from this lump to this lump in the east, it is the Americas, which are all uncivilized places, except for some indigenous tribes, which are not vulnerable at all. If our ships can sail here, they will be our farms and orchards! ”

"So this is the world!" Zhao Gou sighed, "If you don't travel far, you don't know how big the world is, if you don't go out, you will always be a frog at the bottom of the well, it's ridiculous!" This map of the world must be properly kept, do not leak, with it, you have the qualification to look at the world! ”

"Your Majesty, this is just a dream of Lord Guogong, no one knows if these places exist!" Someone questioned.

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu said: "This map is very consistent with the map we know, and the minister thinks that it is better to believe it!" ”

Zhao Gou nodded: "That's right, print a few points of this map, and store it properly by the Ministry of Industry, and the ocean will rely on it in the future!" ”

Qu Ping said: "Your Majesty, now that the map is available, the Broken Captives and the Yangwei are about to be completed, plus the original sea vessels, it is not without the confidence of the ocean!" The minister suggested that we can sail along the coast around the South China Sea first, and these places also have the footprints of our Shenzhou fishermen, so that we can show the prestige of China and lay the foundation for sailing the world in the future! ”

"That'...... Who can do this? Zhao said.

"The minister recommends a person to be the big job!" After Qu Ping finished speaking, he looked at Shao Chengzhang who bowed to the side of the palace, "Shao Chengzhang, the former official of the palace, can take on this important task!" ”

Shao Chengzhang is Zheng Chenggong of the Great Song Dynasty!

The emperor and the ministers were all surprised, Shao Chengzhang was also scared and sweating, he thought: "I served the emperor in a good manner, and I didn't provoke anyone, why did it fall on me!" ”

Li Gang said to Qu Ping: "Lord Qu, should you think about it again?" ”

"The minister has carefully considered it, Your Majesty!" Qu Ping said, "Lord Shao has served the emperor for a long time, and the emperor should know his personality. Moreover, as an internal servant, Lord Shao lacks some distractions from others. ”

The emperor listened and thought about it carefully, Qu Ping was right, the servants have no descendants, in addition to showing the emperor's loyalty to the emperor, a loyal person like Shao Chengzhang does not have corruption and treachery.

"I think Aiqing's proposal is good," Zhao Gou looked at Shao Chengzhang and said, "Chengzhang, in front of the ministers, you tell everyone, do you have the courage to give it a try?" ”

The emperor said so, how dare Shao Chengzhang say that he didn't dare, he mustered up the courage and said: "The minister dares!" ”

Zhao Gou laughed and said, "Okay, don't live up to the expectations of me and Lord Qu." To sail the world, it is not a simple sentence to dare, during this time, we must strengthen the learning and mastery of relevant knowledge, travel abroad, treat your subordinates well, but don't lose your life, but also lose my ship. The most important thing is not to lose my face! ”

Shao Chengzhang knelt down and said, "The minister obeys the order!" The ministers will live up to the trust of the court! ”

"Get up!" Zhao said, "Come on, the purpose!" Shao Chengzhang, you will pack up on the next day, bring the holy decree, go to Hangzhou to organize personnel, fully equipped, optimistic about the water potential and wind direction, choose the day to go to sea by yourself! Bring the Great Song Dynasty's tea, silk, silk weaving, ceramics, poetry, painting, piano and chess and other specialties, not only to do a good job in trade, but also to spread our Chinese culture and divine might! ”

"Yes, Holy Lord!" Shao Chengzhang was actually still trembling in his heart.

Qu Ping said: "Lord Shao, remember to bring some soybeans and mung beans, when there is no vegetable supplement, take it to soak in water and sprout, and you can sprout and eat it in a few days." There are no vegetables, but you will get sepsis! ”

"Thank you Lord Qu for your advice, the lower officials will remember it."

The emperor swept away the haze after not being able to seal Concubine Xing before, and he was in a good mood. "I'm in a good mood today, what else do you have to play?"

The official department Shangshu said: "Your Majesty, Lu Zai, the deputy envoy of Jingxi Road, has made significant contributions in his office, and now Yingtian is intertwined, and the new traffic policy has not been implemented for a long time, and the minister suggested that Lu Zai be transferred to Yingtian to take up relevant duties." ”

Hubu Shangshu said: "The household department just lacks a foreign man who manages the transportation administration, and since the ministry has this recommendation, the minister also thinks that Lu Zai can be qualified for this position." ”

Qu Ping's words before were short, and these old foxes listened to them in their hearts, and if they could take Qu Ping's thick and long line, they could sit more firmly in the future. That's fine, and it's not in vain.

Zhao Gou didn't know this Lu Zai either, but there were two Shangshu recommending him, and he should have extraordinary ability. "Quasi-play!" Zhao Gou readily agreed.

It was already summer in the fifth lunar month, Qu Ping wore a thin shirt and lay on the rattan chair leisurely to enjoy the coolness. Xiao Lu was wearing a refreshing skirt, drying the freshly washed sheets with Xiaolu Xiaohong, and the two maids persuaded her not to get it, but she wanted to help.

"Come and have a drink." Qu Ping shouted.

Under the urging of Xiaohong and Xiaolu, Xiao Lu had no choice but to come over to drink water, and said as she walked: "You are really enjoying yourself!" ”

"Who made me a master!" Qu Ping said, "On such a hot day, do you want to try wearing a short skirt?" ”

"What short skirt?"

"That's it...... The skirt goes further up to expose the legs and can even reach just above the knees. Qu Ping gestured.

Xiao Lu said: "Hey, how can a serious person wear it like this." ”

"What's there, you can wear it at home. I heard that Wang Mang's wife wears a short skirt at home. ”

"Do you want to be Wang Mang? Beware of the walls with ears! Xiao Lu took a sip of water.

"Hey, that's it. I want to wear shorts. ”

"Pay attention to the quality, Xiaohong Xiaolu is still around." Xiao Lu said.

As he was talking, Steward Huang led a person in, Qu Ping looked at it, it turned out to be Tang Shenwei, he carried a watermelon, and when he saw Qu Ping, he smiled and said: "Lord Guogong, the fresh watermelon that has just been put on the market is sweet." ”

Qu Ping asked Xiao Lu to put the watermelon in the well water and chill it, and then cut it for everyone to eat together, and asked, "What is Dr. Tang doing today, and you have time to come to my cold house?" ”

Tang Shenwei carefully sat on the side of the stool: "Lord Guogong's mansion is still called a cold house, and the little old man's house is no longer a kennel." I'm here to thank you today! ”

Qu Ping thought, although you and your kid's current work are all due to my nepotism, not to mention the benefits, but no one will dare to bully. Besides, it wasn't a day or two to help introduce you to Tai Hospital, so I just remembered to thank you today.

"Your Excellency and nobles are forgetful, didn't you tell the emperor that I should go and ask the emperor and Wu Guifei for a pulse? Didn't the emperor come back for three or four days, the emperor and Niangniang took the medicine in the next two days, the emperor felt that his spirit and spirit were different from usual today, and the male wind was even worse, and Niangniang also felt that her body and bones were different from the past, and she always felt that her hands, feet and abdomen were cold on weekdays, and now she has a temperature. ”

"You won't indiscriminately turn on the aphrodisiac, right, but don't treat the symptoms but not the root cause?" Qu Ping said.

"There must be aphrodisiac, Chinese medicine emphasizes holistic treatment, eight outlines of syndrome differentiation, yin and yang harmony, the old man has been a doctor for many years, and there are books to say, don't you even understand such a simple truth, let alone a prescription for the emperor and Niangniang." Tang Shenwei said proudly that when he mentioned the emperor and his mother, he consciously bowed his hand.

"Then I'll rest assured, otherwise my black gauze hat will be affected by you."

Tang Shen said slightly: "Where is it, not only will you not be affected, but you will also be grateful by the emperor together!" The little old man came today to tell the prince that the emperor specially invited the old man to be the deputy envoy of the Tai Hospital, and said that the national government will open medicine this autumn, and let the old man be in charge of medical teaching. ”

"I see, look at how proud you are! You have to behave well, don't let down the Holy Grace! ”

Tang Shenwei whispered: "Wu Guifei was originally a weak and cold uterus, so it was difficult to conceive, with the old husband's conditioning, within three months, there will definitely be a good thing!" ”

"Sweating in the uterus? The hospital is full of talents, can't you even see this? ”

"Maybe they don't have the courage to break the boat. Guogong is determined to be in the community, and I won't talk more about these little tricks of medical Taoism. In short, the old man has confidence, you just wait and see! ”
