Zheng He also found out that Ji Yan was a little wrong at this time, but he didn't know why, he didn't understand why Ji Yan was so out of shape, looking at the "Da Ming Mixed One Picture" on the wall, he said: "This picture was personally ordered by Emperor Taizu to make it, I remember that it was assigned to the Ministry of War, and I don't know who it is." However, one feature of this map is that it is not marked with the Great Wall. ”

He also thought that Ji Yan's strange reaction was that there was no Great Wall on the map, so he continued: "The Great Wall is a heavy weapon of our national defense, and when this map was drawn, the north of the Great Wall was still guarded by the remnants of the Mongol enemy, and the area around the Great Wall was related to our military deployment, so it was directly omitted." ”

Of course, Ji Yan didn't have the Great Wall because this picture didn't have the Great Wall, he calmed down a lot at the moment, listened to Zheng He's explanation, and carefully observed this picture.

He was shocked because the map clearly marked the outline of Europe and Africa, especially Africa, it is reasonable to say that the Chinese had not yet arrived in Africa, but the outline of the entire African continent was basically drawn correctly on the map.

Although the size is not in the right proportion, this is nothing, this is a world map made by the Chinese, in the atmosphere at that time, naturally with China as the center of the world, and much larger than other places combined.

However, if you look closely, there is a huge lake in the center of the African continent in this picture, and there are several islands in it, which should only be the imagination of the Ming Dynasty people at that time.

However, the outline of this African continent is really depicted very accurately, which makes people so surprised at first glance that Ji Yan mistakenly thought that there were other traversers at first.

Maybe there really is, maybe not, but it seems that the answer can only be lost in the wind, and there is no way to find out.

Ji Yan froze down, coughed dryly, and then Zheng He's words said: "I see, when the lower officials saw it, they only felt that this picture was very precise and detailed, and then looked at the whole picture, there was no Great Wall on the register, and they were very surprised, and they thought that there was something different in the north." ”

He then laughed dryly, explaining that he was too lonely and unheard, and he didn't know that I had such a meticulous treasure map.

With such a pale excuse, it stands to reason that whoever believes it is a fool, but Zheng He just glanced at Ji Yan, smiled slightly, and didn't ask any more.

Nothing else, Wang Xi led Ji Yan out of Zheng He's room and into a wing room to the west about a stone's throw away from Zheng He's house.

Walking into this room, the area is not large, there is a table and a chair in it, the four treasures of the study room on the table are neatly arranged, a bookcase is set up on the wall, and a high candlestick behind the chair is obviously a single room, which makes Ji Yan very satisfied, after all, he has too many secrets, and he is too close to others, and he will be exposed one day.

Ji Yan didn't bring anything when he came today, so he sat in this empty room and was stunned for a while, and after a while, Wang Xi took three taels of silver and sent it over, and he was going to pull Ji Yan to find a house to move.

The income is high, and it is much easier to see the house, this capital is different from the capital of the society where Ji Yan was before, and the house is still very easy to find. The location of Tianxi Temple itself is not remote, so there are a lot of houses that can be rented around, Ji Yan and Wang Xi looked at it for a long time, and finally chose a small courtyard by the Qinhuai River with two tiled houses. If the lease formalities are properly handled, this matter is so decided.

Ji Yan didn't have any other errands to do, so he went back to his original residence directly, and was thinking about what time to take to tell Mei Yuning about his new residence, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a person dressed as a subordinate standing in front of his house.

The person who came was a subordinate of Mei Yuma's mansion, needless to say, it was Mei Yuning who arranged for him to send the clothes over, Ji Yan thanked the person who came, received the things, and told the person to inform him of the address of his new residence in the Horse Mansion, and then went back to the house.

There are two new clothes, both of which are pure silk texture, which feel smooth to the touch, the color is not too bright, but it is also a little eye-catching when walking on the street, and it is comfortable and cool to wear, which makes Ji Yan feel a lot of emotion, no matter what era, rich and noble people are living a good life.

I didn't ask him to measure it when I was making clothes, but it was quite suitable when I got on it.

Ji Yan's heart was dark again, well, it seems that Mei Yuning also looked at herself quietly.

However, although he made two new clothes of good materials, Ji Yan didn't know when to wear them, and if he went to Tianxi Temple on an errand, it didn't seem to be appropriate.

It seems that I only took it with me when I went to Shandong.

On the second day, Ji Yan brought a lot of things with him when he went out, and he planned to move the luggage in the old house to the new residence little by little.

However, the errand still has to be done, so he is now sitting in the wing of his office, watching Zheng He draw the pagoda repair drawings for the Ministry of Works, but he can see that it is in the clouds, what relics stone letters, what levels and several sides are connected with Buddhism, so that he is a head and two big.

I was looking at it over and over, planning to find someone who knew the way to ask it, but I saw the janitor of Tianxi Temple trotting all the way to his side, saying that a school inspector named Liu Xun in the Jinyi Wei Division was coming, and he wanted to find a translator with tolerance.

Liu Xun came, but walked in with a swagger, and reported his name to the door, and specially told him that he was here to find Ji Tongyi.

When Ji Yan heard that he was coming, he was a little surprised, but he couldn't refuse, so he notified the doorman and brought him over.

Liu Xun actually came to Ji Yan for a legitimate thing, after all, his main job is the inspection of the Jinyi Wei Experience Division, and Ji Yan is still hanging in Jinyiwei, so he is still nominally Ji Yan's boss.

Ji Yan stood at the door of his room, looking at the tall and swarthy Liu Xun holding a booklet in his hand, and walked towards him with a smile, remembering that the last time he saw him was in Ningbo, he pretended to be drunk and teased him, Ji Yan still can't help but snicker every time he thinks about it.

Liu Xun didn't have the slightest relationship with Ji Yan, and he was far away, so he arched his hands and quickened his pace, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and said: "Brother Ji Xian, I miss you so much for my brother, why don't you come back from Japan and don't go back to experience Si to sit?" Isn't it a separation? ”

His voice was not small, which made Ji Yan feel a little embarrassed, so he had to make a gesture and hurriedly stepped forward and dragged him into his room.

As soon as he entered the house, Liu Xun expressed his intention, saying that he came with tolerance, and now the repair of this Tianxi Temple is an errand appointed by the emperor, so all the yamen involved have to cooperate. Zheng He has been sent overseas, and he has the intention to put some Fanbang items in the temple, and the emperor also agreed, so this time he came with a gift book from some foreign envoys and merchants recorded in the department.

After saying that, he generously asked Ji Yan to be a guest at his house when he was free, saying that he would not recognize people if he was not promoted.

Ji Yan was a little unable to find the north by Liu Xun's blindness, so he just asked Ji Yan to be a guest at his house, isn't it okay to increase his suspicion in vain?

Ji Yan was thinking about how to reply to Liu Xun.

Coincidentally, as soon as he looked up, he happened to see Wang Jinghong leading a few people through the corridor in front of the door.

Ji Yan thought that since he was playing "Yang Mou", he should also be frank, so he rushed to the door and said to Wang Jinghong: "Lord Wang, this is the boss of the subordinate in the experience department, Liu Xun, who came to deliver the albums purchased by some foreign envoys before. ”

Wang Jinghong stood still, looked at Liu Xun with a smile, but ignored him, and said to Ji Yan: "Well, I know, you are familiar with this matter, and you can take care of it with all your powers." ”

Ji Yan hurriedly continued: "Liu Jianxiao also plans to invite the lower officials to his house as a guest,"

Wang Jinghong was still smiling, he couldn't see his specific expression clearly, and said to Ji Yan: "It's okay, it's not in the way to move around more between colleagues, and besides, you are still going through the division with an order, don't worry, if you don't have anything else to do in the afternoon, just go on a business trip early." ”

Ji Yan had no choice but to take orders, seeing Wang Jinghong leave, looking back, Liu Xun was bowing and saluting in the direction of the door, and then looked at Ji Yan with a smile.

Ji Yan was a little uncomfortable being stared at by this guy, so Zhengse said: "The booklet has been accepted, in the future, this kind of thing, Liu Jianxiao will ask his subordinates to do it, there is no need to send it in person, I will go to visit the adult's mansion in the afternoon." ”

Liu Xun said with a smile: "The main reason for being a brother is that I haven't seen my brother for a long time, I really want to panic, since it's decided, then I'll go home now, waiting for the big driver, let's go home and talk again." ”

Remembering the address of Liu Xun's house, Ji Yan was not polite, so he raised his hand and let go, meaning, after the matter is over, then leave.

Liu Xun also knew each other very well, and walked outside the house after saying goodbye.

The words are so cold in the room, but since they are superficial friends, they still have to do enough in this scene, otherwise they will be ganged up.

So out of the room, Ji Yan also deliberately sent Liu Xun out of the temple gate in person.

In the afternoon of the same day, Ji Yan unloaded his errand in advance and came to the door of Liu Xun's house as promised.
