"Your Majesty, Wen Hao has an official position, he can't be a big courtesy, he is ashamed!" Although he was an important minister of the Great Song Dynasty, in the circle of literati, Wen Hao and his staff were not even qualified to be in the middle of the line. They also had this self-knowledge, and waited obediently at the end of the line, without any resentment, until Hong Tao accompanied several foreign scholars to him, and then he hugged his fists and bowed his waist and gave Hong Tao a big gift.

"Oh, the ancestors of the Wen family have accumulated virtue, and you two talents have appeared, which is gratifying. Your two brothers can be compared to Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin back then, a great minister of the Great Song Dynasty and a pillar of the empire, and it will be another good story in later generations. Come on, everyone, some of you may know each other, and some of you may not be familiar with it, so I will introduce two more sentences. This Wen Dexin Wen brother is the cousin of Wen Beiming, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire. In my eyes, both of them are great talents! One is calm and heavy, the other is elegant and free, and giving birth to a son should be like two texts. If my son could serve in the empire in the future, and the other would go to the Great Song Dynasty as an official, I would laugh out loud when I lay in the grave. ”

"Come on, come on, since today is the opening ceremony, how can you be without wine, and I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to you on behalf of myself and these foreign scholars who have come from afar. Regardless of whether we share the same political views or the same views on things, it is a great thing to be able to come together and discuss together. I didn't study history well, and it was hopeless to quote scriptures, but I knew that the ancestors of the Han people would often gather scholars from all over the world and sit together to debate. There is also a saying in my hometown, which is called "Reason is not clear, things are not clear!" No matter what you think, it never hurts to listen to what others think. Raise your glasses, drink to your heart's content! ”

Seeing Wen Hao's sunny face, Hong Tao wanted to punch him on the nose. It's a pity that he can't, it's not to give Wen Nan face, but this guy is becoming more and more important, not only is he a bargaining chip in Song Lizong's eyes, but he also has to use him as a bargaining chip. Admire, just such a person who is not even a jinshi, just by virtue of an opportunity to run a newspaper, in less than seven or eight years, he has become the position of a country's feudal official. It's really an eye-opener, this Nima is a traitorous male!

Although he can't beat him, Hong Tao can make him a little trouble, and he doesn't have to bother too much, as long as he praises him with sincerity, and then focuses on his relationship with Wen Nan, according to the small belly chicken intestines of those people in the Great Song Dynasty, Wen Hao will have countless troubles. Although everyone knows these things, when they come out of the mouth of the emperor, the taste is different.

What made Wen Hao grit his teeth and hate was that Hong Tao actually compared the matter of the Zhuge brothers to him and Wen Nan, which was not tantamount to telling everyone that he and Wen Nan were just betting on the interests of the family. Although the two of them ostensibly serve two countries, they have a deep relationship in private, and it is almost Xu Shu who entered Cao Ying. Now Wen Hao has a little more understanding of Hong Tao, this emperor is not only thick-skinned and calculating, but his heart is still black, and he doesn't need a knife to kill!

The layout of the venue is very simple, it is a lecture hall for open classes at the nautical school. In addition to the rising seats, the most surprising thing for the first time is the four large blackboards behind the podium, each of which is made of two pieces of glass more than one meter high and more than two meters long. What's more, there are large windows more than one person high on both sides of this big room, and they are inlaid with glass, but each one is not as big as a blackboard.

At this time, even the most demanding people have to secretly pick a thumbs up, the rumor that this Emperor Hong is keen on education is not nonsense, how much does it cost to build such a large school on a desert island? And it's not a fool's errand, although each building has a weird and ugly appearance, but the materials are very sufficient, just look at these glass windows to understand.

"You are all respected scholars, and that's what I'm called in my hometown, which means people who like to learn and learn a lot. Are you really scholars? I have some doubts. Why? It's not that I'm deliberately insulting you, but in some ways, a lot of people here are much better than I am. But the reason why I have this question is simply that people don't know enough about the world. ”

Hong Tao's opening remarks are as vulgar and white as ever, and a little exciting. If you know Hong Tao, you will definitely be vigilant, the more this is the case, the more the emperor will have a back hand, just wait for someone to jump out and oppose it, and then use strong evidence to slap you back.

“…… The reason why I say this is that I have a basis, so don't worry, take a look at my picture and know why I said that. It's a pity that after waiting for a few seconds, no one below sent his face up to hit him, Hong Tao was very disappointed, so he had to take out the back move himself, which was a very large map, almost occupying a semi-blackboard.

"This is a map of the world, who drew it? It took me and my students more than fifteen years. Every coastline, every island, every strait, and every river estuary above it has been seen with one's own eyes and rigorously calculated, with an error of between two hundred meters and two miles. In other words, it took me and my students fifteen years to visit basically all the places in the world where there are people and countries. It's not just a casual look, but a careful understanding of their laws, culture, religion, and a series of other things. Not only did they bring back their words, languages, and books, but they also spread our words and books. ”

"So I think I have the qualifications to simply compare who is more knowledgeable and who is weak. As for whether this picture is drawn correctly or not, I have also found several witnesses, and several of them are scholars that I have invited from different countries and have traveled to many places. After their identification, my map is still reliable. If you are interested, you can come up and take a look. The eyes are not very good, please open the small box on the table, there are special products of Jinhe Country, it can make everyone see more clearly, it is a thank you gift from me to you, thank you for coming here thousands of miles to listen to my chatter. ”

The map hung out by Hong Tao is indeed a true map and a replica created by him and all the captains and navigators who have worked hard to accumulate data for fifteen years! What do you think, the real map is only known to Hong Tao alone, and it is not a whole picture, but dozens of real and false area maps are mixed together, and none of the data on the map are all true. If you want to see the whole picture of this map, you need to have a small notebook full of data.

For this picture, Hong Tao sees it more important than the throne. Having lost his throne, he can still rely on this map to travel all over the world, even as a pirate, he is also the most successful, powerful, and wealthy pirate in the world. If he loses this chart, he will waste more than half of his time in the past ten years, and I don't know if there is another fifteen years for him to slowly accumulate data.

On this replica, the Americas, Antarctica, Australia, and some islands in the Pacific Ocean are missing. On the one hand, Hong Tao didn't want to tell others that there were still three continents in the world at this time, and on the other hand, he really didn't have the exact data of these continents and islands in his hands, so he couldn't draw them blindly. In fact, even if it is a semi-finished product, this map is enough to be proud of the world, and a scale alone can stump all the cartographers and mathematicians around the world. Without field survey data, even if they understood the principle of scale, they couldn't figure it out. Without the concept of latitude and longitude, they don't even have the opportunity to survey in the field.

So do you approve of Emperor Hong's map? I dare not say that all of them are approved, and I dare not say that most of them are recognized, but it can be said that the vast majority of people are inclined to believe that this picture is well-founded. When it came to navigation and well-informed, this Emperor Hong was indeed the first person they had ever met. Not to mention the continent full of blacks, how many people here have been to the Great Food Country? Even those foreign scholars, if there were no sea ships of Emperor Hong, they would not know what the East was like. This matter doesn't need to take too many words, it is basically recognized, even if there are some people who don't know Hong Tao very well, through the guidance of others, they will also know the emperor's ability.
