The first time he sat in a sedan chair, Yang Zheng was still a little unaccustomed, and the sedan chair was carried by two burly eunuchs, and the sedan chair did not have a bumpy feeling, and it was like sitting in the clouds.

Suppressing the urge to open the curtain and look outside, Yang was thinking in his mind how to answer the answer that Zhao Zhen might ask.

After half an hour, the sedan chair stopped outside a large hall.

"Pony, please..."

Wang Zhongzheng stretched out his hand and led it falsely.

Yang Zheng settled down, raised his feet and followed Wang Zhongzheng to the main hall, and came to the outside of a hall, Wang Zhongzheng respectfully said inside: "Official, the captain of the horse has arrived!" ”

Then a gentle voice came out: "Come in."

When I entered the main hall, I was surprised to see a lot of people, including a few people who were invigilating for the temple examination that day.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Yang Zheng respectfully bowed to Zhao Zhen on the dragon chair.

"Flat, sit"

Immediately, a small yellow door brought him a chair.

Yang Zheng obediently sat on the chair with his butt upright, his body straightened, waiting for Zhao Zhen to ask.

"Qinghe, is the content on your answer sheet true?"

Zhao Zhen looked at Yang Zheng, who was sitting in a proper manner, and couldn't help but feel good, and asked kindly.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is what Wechen accidentally saw in a book, the book once said that all the records were recorded during the three expeditions to Goryeo during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Wechen felt that the credibility was very high, so he dared to offer advice! As for whether it is true, Weichen thinks that he can send someone to check, and the cost is not too big! ”

"Well, what do you think?" After Yang Zheng finished speaking, Zhao Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said to everyone.

"Dare to ask the Captain of the Horse, where is this book now?"

Tang Jie asked solemnly.

"What the younger generation read when I was a child, it has been destroyed and lost..."Yang Zheng said calmly, and without waiting for Tang Jie to ask, he continued: "But there are not many records in this book, and the younger generation roughly remembers the whole content."

"Is there a route?"

Tang Jie saw what Yang Zheng said and asked again.

"Starting from the area of Dengzhou, go southeast all the way to Tamna Island, and then go northeast along the northern coast of Fuso to the east to reach this place, can you have a map?"

Yang Zheng described it as clearly as possible, and found that everyone was looking at him blankly, so he had to change his method.

Zhao Zhen waved his hand, and Wang Zhongzheng walked towards the side hall, and after a while, he walked back with a huge map.

Taking the map, Yang Zheng spread it out directly on the floor, and found that this map was really simple, and according to his memory, there were many places where the drawing was not accurate, at least the Bohai Bay was magnified several times, and the Shandong Peninsula was not so small.

"Your Majesty, give me a large piece of white paper and pen ......," Yang Zheng said helplessly.

Although Zhao Zhen was a little inexplicable, he still asked people to prepare.

After finding the pen and paper, Yang Zheng began to draw the map of the north and east of the Great Song Dynasty on white paper little by little, and the map in his mind only needs to modify the estuary of the Yellow River, and the other differences are not big, and there is a sketching skill, and a rough map of the Northern Song Dynasty began to be presented on the white paper.

"This is Kaifeng, this is Jingdong West Road, here is Jingdong East Road, here is Hejian Province, here is the Bohai Sea, here is the Yellow Sea, here is Tamna Island, here is the strait between Goryeo and Fuso, here is Fusang Island, here is Ezo Island, it may be about the same size as Jingdong East Road"

Yang Zheng explained while drawing, drawing the general shape of Ezo Island, and a clear route also appeared on the map, in order to better illustrate, he marked some mountains and rivers on the map, and drew it for half an hour, the whole.

Zhao Zhen looked at the maps presented by the state capitals on Jingdong East Road that Yang Zheng put aside, and then looked at the map drawn by Yang Zheng, although it was ridiculous, his intuition told him that the map in Yang Zheng's hand might be the correct map.

Wang Zhongzheng spread the drawn map on the bookcase in front of Zhao Zhen, so that Zhao Zhen could look more carefully.

Wen Yanbo and Pang Ji looked at Yang Zheng as if they had seen rare treasures, especially Pang Ji, as long as Yang Zheng drew a map that was familiar with Jingdong Road in the Great Song Dynasty, he could see at a glance that he had walked all over Jingdong East Road, and he could naturally see that this map was extremely accurate.

In ancient times, when communications were extremely underdeveloped, the role of an accurate map in warfare was immeasurable.

Only then did the others remember that Yang Zheng seemed to have a magical painting skill, and at this time, looking at the map in front of Yang Zheng, everyone was shocked, and they ignored Yang Zheng's words.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks that Captain Ma's words are credible, so you can send someone to check it out!"

Wen Yanbo already had the answer in his heart when Yang Zheng drew the map, this place must exist, and no one can imagine these things out of thin air.

"Let me think about this matter, go down, remember, this matter must not be spread out! Qinghe, you stay"

Zhao Zhen said to everyone.

Everyone exited the hall, and Zhao Zhen picked up the map on the desk and motioned for Yang Zheng to follow him.

Follow Zhao Zhen through the conference hall and come to a simple study room at the back of the hall, which is where Zhao Zhen usually handles government affairs.

"Okay, Qinghe, you are also my son-in-law, don't be restrained, sit down!"

Zhao Zhen took the map and sat on his dragon chair, and when he saw that Yang Zheng was a little restrained, he said in a harmonious voice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The first time I had close contact with Zhao Zhen, it was false to say that I was not nervous, but Zhao Zhen seemed to have a strong affinity, and Yang Zheng relaxed a little in two sentences.

"Qinghe, did you come up with this matter yourself?" Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment and asked lightly.

"Yes"

Yang Zheng nodded and said, no one in the Great Song Dynasty would have such a whimsical idea.

"Well, how likely do you think this is to succeed?" Zhao Zhen then asked.

Yang Zheng noticed that a thin middle-aged official in the corner of the room was recording, this should be the legendary play?

After organizing the language, he spoke: "Back to Your Majesty, if the preparations are done sufficiently, Wei Chen feels that this matter is 90% sure that it will be successful. ”

After a pause, he continued: "At this time, there are only a few natives now, and the threat to our plan is very small, and the Khitan and Goryeo will not threaten us at sea, and the biggest threat is actually the Fusang State, as long as we do a good job of defense in this place, the threat of the Fusang State will not be great." ”

Yang Zheng pointed to the southwest corner of Ezo Island and said firmly.

"What a place!"

Zhao Zhen looked at the map and sighed.

If this place can become a horse breeding place in the Great Song Dynasty and change the current situation of the lack of war horses in the Great Song Dynasty, this achievement of expanding the territory will make him famous in history.

"How much time does it take?" Zhao Zhen asked, this is the problem he is most concerned about, he has passed the age of not being confused, and in the past two years, he can feel that his body is slowly deteriorating.

"It will be three or five years in short, and six or seven years in the long term, when you can see results!"

Yang Zheng calculated and replied.

"Well, you go back and write me a detailed plan as soon as possible, and I'll ask someone to give you a gold medal to enter the palace later, and you can come to see me without intuition intellect."

Zhao Zhen nodded, and said to Yang Zheng in a harmonious voice.

It took three or five years to make contributions, which was already much shorter than his psychological expectations, and Yang Zheng's position in his heart had become a usable courtier rather than a son-in-law.

"Yes, Your Majesty"

"Okay, Zhongzheng, you send Qinghe out"

Zhao Zhen took the map and said to Yang Zheng.

Wang Zhongzheng sent Yang Zheng to the gate of the palace, took out a beautifully made gold medal from his arms and handed it to Yang Zheng, and solemnly said to him: "Donkey, this gold medal must be put away"

"Thank you, Mr. Wang"
