Chapter 155: The Breadth of the Land

"Sir, may I ask, in the past, it was said that the Tengu eating the moon was just a natural manifestation of the celestial body, so why do some people still say that there was a collapse of the earth dragon in the local area?" After listening to Fang Jing's words, the queen opened her mouth to ask her own questions.

"Queen, the natural appearance between the celestial bodies is a matter of common sense, as long as someone rumors that the sky and the earth dragon turned over, it is either intentional to cause trouble, or it has bad intentions, of course, there is also a possibility, that is, the earth dragon really turned over, but this situation can be said to be very rare, it is basically a rare occurrence in a thousand years, and it is impossible to happen by chance, it can only show that there is such a chance." Fang Jing understood the various hypotheses and legends in feudal society, but as long as it was said that the tengu eating the moon caused the catastrophe, it must be a human problem, not the natural phenomenon of the celestial body.

"Sir, according to what you said, these solar and lunar eclipses are just natural manifestations of celestial bodies, but there are still records that it is a disaster, so are these disasters all man-made?" Li Shimin was also full of questions, and some wanted to hear how Fang Jing explained.

"Saint, this solar and lunar eclipse is a very ordinary thing, some people say that it is a disaster, ask for a temple, what edict to issue, that is all selfishness, if there is a legend that the earth dragon turned over, it must be artificially created to achieve some unspeakable purpose, human nature is selfish, everyone has selfishness, but there are big and small." Fang Jing doesn't think that the general world can be selfless, that's really, and some are just individual cases.

Fang Jing knows very well what a disaster is and what is a man-made disaster, as long as the solar and lunar eclipses are said to be disasters, basically someone is starting to make trouble, of course, it can't be said that it must be man-made at all 100%, it can only be said that the probability is so small that it can't be determined to be a natural disaster.

"Sir, how do you explain the turning of this earth dragon?" The queen is also an extremely smart person, otherwise she would not have become such a good name as the virtuous queen of the ages recorded in the history books.

"Queen, Shengshang, this earth dragon turned over, in fact, it is a natural disaster, this is something that cannot be intervened by humans, didn't Zhang Heng in the Han Dynasty study the geodynamic instrument? This you should know, this earth dragon turned over is said to be an earthquake, the land we live in, it has been moving, but everyone can't feel it, and the movement is not visible to the naked eye, or even measured, when the two mountains move to a certain extent, they will collide together, and after the collision and squeezing, it will cause a huge noise, the surface will crack, and the things on the surface will naturally collapse or sink after being affected, this is what you should understand. Fang Jing explained to the queen word by word.

"Sir, as you said just now, the earth under our feet is a ball, so how big is this earth?" Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked Fang Jing.

"The earth under our feet, with a diameter of 25,000 miles and a circumference of 80,000 li, the land only accounts for less than 30,000 percent, and the mountains are the majority, the whole earth has several large pieces of land, and our Datang is connected to a piece, tens of thousands of miles long and wide, and the southwest of our Datang, there is a large piece of land across the ocean, and there are some island-like continents in the southeast of our Datang, and then to the south to the east, there is a piece of land in the direction of 8,000 miles away from our Datang, which is about the size of my Datang, no civilization, only some original aborigines, of course, And to the east of my Datang, more than 20,000 miles away from Fusang Kingdom, there is a continent, which is nearly ten times the size of my Datang. ”

"There are so many species on that continent, all kinds of unknown plants and animals, the yield is higher than my Datang I don't know where it is, of course, there is also a civilization there, the Mayan civilization country, the west of my Datang is out of the desert is the high mountains, after the high mountains, it is the western country, all the way to the west, there should be a lot of countries there, I haven't been there, I don't know much." Fang Jing briefly described the land distribution of the earth to Li Shimin.

"Brother Jing, are those lands on the sea really as big as my Datang? Is that Mayan kingdom bigger than my Tang Dynasty? Gao Ming was a little unclear about what Fang Jing had just said, although he understood it, he didn't believe it.

"Gao Ming, for things you don't understand, you have to understand, to discover, the earth under our feet, you think you understand, but you have never understood, and you have never really understood, the sky is big, the earth is wide, it is not at all what you have seen can be described." Fang Jing said to Gao Ming.

"Brother Jing, we haven't heard of the places you mentioned, but many people from the Western Regions, Hu people, have come to Chang'an on camels, they say that there are many countries in their west, but they have never been to the farther places in the west, but the goods they bring are all common to us." Qingque stood up and asked Fang Jing.

"The people of the Western Regions, the Hu people, they come to my Datang can only be said to be doing business, their country is not too far from my Datang, through the Western Turks, and then through Gaochang before coming to my Datang, their country is thousands of miles away from my Datang, then go 20,000 miles to the west, there are a lot of countries and populations, not smaller than my Datang, but they haven't been there." Fang Jing explained to Qingque.

"Okay, that's all for today, I just said something I know, or you don't know, in the future, the Tang Dynasty still needs you to lead, whether you want to be the future emperor or the future official, remember, the people are the roots, no people are the world, be kind to any common people, but also be kind to the farmers and farmers, they are the most bitter people in the world, without them, you will have no rice and flour to eat, without them, you will eventually be hungry, maybe you have never been hungry, I hope that there will be no more hungry people in the world. After Fang Jing finished speaking, he raised his feet and walked towards the outside of the hall, leaving this large group of people sitting in the hall.

After Fang Jing left the hall, he didn't speak, he didn't say anything, he walked under the sun, found a higher place to sit down, raised his head and looked at a corner not far away in a daze.

Fang Jing was very confused, confused that he came to this Tang Dynasty, he didn't want to change anything, but now he has said so much, I don't know if it will cause a butterfly effect, Fang Jing's original intention is just to live a good life, but what he did just now, he didn't know if his head was kicked by a donkey or what's wrong, why did he say these headless and brainless words, this will cause historical changes at all.

Fang Jing blamed herself a little, she shouldn't have come just now, but now that things have happened, she doesn't know what the consequences will be, so she can only watch, wait for it to change, the trajectory of history may change because of some of his words, or it may still move forward according to the course of history, Fang Jing doesn't know, these are unknown.

"Sir." Not long after, Li Shimin also came behind Fang Jing, looked at Fang Jing and shouted.

"Shengshang, you don't need to be polite, I'm going to go to the Yiguo Mansion for a while, and I'll leave Chang'an at that time, I hope to be in Fangjia Village after a while, and when the bones of our man's family are sent back, I can bury them back to my ancestral land." Fang Jing didn't think about anything anymore, even if he came, he would be safe, and after getting up, he told Li Shimin his plans.

"Sir, won't you stay any longer?" Li Shimin knew that Fang Jing would not stay longer, but he still asked.

"No, I have other things to do, plus I'm a little worried about Fangjia Village." After Fang Jing finished speaking, he raised his legs and walked in the direction he had just come, regardless of whether this was a palace city or a great avenue.

Li Shimin also knew that he couldn't keep Fang Jing, so he didn't say much, he followed Fang Jing all the way in the direction of Chengtianmen, and asked Fang Jing from time to time on the way, as long as Fang Jing knew, he would also respond to Li Shimin, of course, he wouldn't say much about things that were too secretive, after all, there were some things, as the controller of this Tang Dynasty, the more he knew, the worse it was.

"Holy Lord, farewell." After Fang Jing saluted Li Shimin, she raised her legs and walked through the palace gate towards the east of the city.

"Sir, go slowly." Li Shimin also saluted Fang Jing and said.

At the gate of the palace, Li Shimin and the others watched Fang Jing go all the way towards the east of the city, everyone's thoughts were different, maybe because they heard some of Fang Jing's remarks, or maybe they thought that Fang Jing was an immortal figure, and even more perhaps, because of Fang Jing's ice and happiness, each had its own thoughts and thoughts.

Fang Jing didn't care about the little dolls who were still sitting in the main hall, nor did he care about the blue bucket with Bing Kole, it was just a wooden bucket, although it was coated with some blue paint, even if the valve was just an ordinary stainless steel water tap, the chalk didn't matter, that thing was only for writing, but it wasn't much use, it didn't matter where these things were left.

A group of little dolls in the hall surrounded Bing Kole, Qingque opened the door valve with one hand and filled a bowl of Bing Koole, a bowl of it, distributed to all the little dolls, and he was also happy to drink Bing Kole with a bowl, after a long time, it was not so ice, but it did not affect the love of the little dolls.

"Second brother, I still want to drink, I still want to drink." Lizhi handed the bowl to the green finch and said coquettishly to the green finch.

"Little sister, we can't drink this anymore, when the time comes, my father and mother will scold us when they find out." Qingque comforted Lizi.

"I don't, I just want to drink, so my father and mother won't scold me." Lizhi didn't want to listen to Qingque's words, so she took the bowl directly, opened the valve and filled a bowl by herself, the villain had already seen how the guards got this valve, and now she had a chance to try her hand.

"What are you doing here? Go back and sit down. The queen came back from outside the hall and saw a bunch of little dolls around the bucket, one by one holding bowls and drinking ice and music.

"Mother, you drink, it's a good drink." Lizhi took the bowl of ice and handed it to the queen.

"Lizhen, you are here to study, you have a daughter's family, you can't be like this, you must have etiquette." Although the queen was very happy to see her daughter feel sorry for herself, after all, there were many people here, and she still had to say something to remind her children.

"Mother, the eldest brother and the second brother have also drunk it, and I want to drink it too." Lizhi said coquettishly to the queen, Gao Ming and Qingque on the side stood a little embarrassed, and the other little dolls were also a little embarrassed to sit on the group.

"You know how to eat, you know how to drink, all right, go back and sit down." The queen was helpless, and she didn't dare to say anything serious, and besides, what she drank was just some drinks.
