The inside of the Ziluan Hall is as magnificent as the outside, although it is only a partial hall, but it is still more than 40 zhang long, more than 20 zhang wide, in the middle of the main hall, there are six huge red lacquer pillars, which are carved with a huge dragon pattern, and the momentum is extraordinary.

Jiang Yin entered the main hall, and at a glance he saw the emperor sitting on the high platform at the end of the hall, even if no one introduced him, Jiang Yin knew that the person sitting there was the big brother of the current Great Song Dynasty: His Majesty Zhao Kuangyin.

The imperial crown, dressed in gold, is sitting in a precarious position, and the beads hanging down the crown make Jiang Yin unable to see the face of this old Comrade Zhao clearly, but from the perspective of figure, this old Comrade Zhao is almost the same as described in history, but he is very wide and fat.

Everything in front of him is so novel, after all, this is also the first time Jiang Yin has come to the palace of the Great Song Dynasty, the maids who raise the screen left and right, the eunuchs waiting on the side of the palace, and the antique decorations of the hall have opened Jiang Yin's eyes, and it is really in vain to be able to walk through the palace of the Great Song Dynasty in person.

Just when Jiang Yin was looking at the palace curiously, Lao Zhao was also looking at him at the moment.

The overseas man standing with His Royal Highness looks very handsome, but he looks very young, not even like the age of the weak crown, he can only be seventeen or eighteen years old, the most surprising thing for Lao Zhao is the box that the young man is holding in his hand, the box is blue, the material is not gold, wood or stone, but it can reflect some different brilliance, which makes Zhao Kuangyin very curious.

"Be bold, face to face the saint, why don't you kneel!"

Seeing that Jiang Yin was still looking around, he had no intention of saluting at all, and the eunuch who was in charge of the ceremony in front of the hall couldn't stand it anymore, and reprimanded.

"Uh-oh." Jiang Yin reacted at this time, hurriedly remembered to take a few steps, put the box aside, learned the etiquette he had seen, patted his clothes, and then leaned over and said: "Grass people Jiang Yinian, knock to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

Jiang Yin's way of saluting was slightly different from those courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty, but it made Zhao Kuangyin stunned for a moment, and then chuckled: "I heard that Er and others came from overseas, I don't know where it is, could it be Penglai, the abbot, and Yingzhou?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, what Your Majesty said is the rumored immortal mountain, in fact, there are no these three mountains overseas, the grass people come from the vast Africa, through the Indian Ocean, across the Eurasian continent, across the ocean, before coming to my Great Song Dynasty." Jiang Yin spoke slowly and logically, and his words were clear.

Jiang Yin said one set of things, but Lao Zhao listened to it in the clouds, what is Africa? And what else in the Indian Ocean? Eurasia? What is this? Why have you never heard of it?

"Ahem." Lao Zhao coughed to break his embarrassment, he didn't understand a word of what the young man had just said.

"These are all overseas places, presumably Your Majesty has never heard of it, the grass people have a big map here, compared to Your Majesty, if you see it, you will definitely know that what the grass people say is true." Jiang Yin said in time.

Hearing that there was a map, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly smiled, he couldn't understand it just by saying it, but if he could have a map, then he could intuitively understand what kind of overseas place Jiang Yin's mouth was.

In fact, before the face of the saint, Jiang Yin was very careful to plan the technology he wanted to present to Lao Zhao, first of all, the world map is the top priority, in the society of the ancients, because there is no GPS navigation, there is no positioning system, can understand the location of the terrain, only the map drawn by manual estimation, because it all depends on manpower, so the map is very rare, and often not accurate enough, if you can give Lao Zhao a very powerful world map, then it is undoubtedly the first stepping stone that shocked Lao Zhao.

"Then hurry up and let me see your overseas map." Lao Zhao stared at Jiang Yin and said with a smile.

"The grass people's map is in this suitcase, and I ask Your Majesty to allow the grass people to open it." Jiang Yin asked.

"That's right." Zhao Kuangyin was already full of anticipation at the moment, and with a wave of his big hand, he signaled Jiang Yin to start quickly.

Unzip the suitcase, a box full of things appeared in front of everyone, on the top of which was a large map folded into several thick turns, Jiang Yin asked two eunuchs on the side of the hall to help open it, as the huge map slowly unfolded, you can see a huge banner map about a zhang wide and half a zhang high in the court, even Lao Zhao, whose expression has been light, suddenly changed, and the expression on his face became solemn.

Jiang Yin printed this map of the world, its blueprint for the late Ming Dynasty Kunyu Wanguo map, Jiang Yin found a few Fengjing Museum history experts, for the Ming Dynasty map of the Song Dynasty to carry out a Song transformation, all the Ming Dynasty countries on the map according to the historiography of the Song Dynasty marked into the Song Dynasty's national geographical distribution, combined with the later generations have been discovered a variety of mountains and rivers, to produce a kind of classical style, but also contains modern science and technology of the Song Dynasty world map.

On this map, the basic setting of the Kunyu Wanguo Map is retained, the central meridian is placed in China, and Bianjing, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, is the center of the map, and the earth is divided into the north and south hemispheres with the equator as the center, and the Tropic of Cancer and the north and south pole map lines are drawn. Accordingly, the climatic zone, temperate zone, and cold zone are formed.

Of the five continents shown in this map, each continent is distinguished by a different color. Mountains are depicted in a landscape depiction, rivers are depicted in hyperbolas, and oceans are depicted in deep green, creating a harmonious and layered map. Outside the map circle, there are also small maps such as the ninefold heavenly map, the heaven and earth sphere map, the solar eclipse map, the lunar eclipse map, the northern equatorial hemisphere map, the southern equatorial hemisphere map, and the middle air map, and the illustrations in the map have obvious characteristics of the times. In the oceans, different types of sailboats and warships are painted, in various sea areas, there are also painted whales, sharks, sea lions and other marine animals, and on the Antarctic continent, there are also land animals such as elephants, lions, ostriches, dinosaurs and other creatures, which can be described as all-encompassing and amazing.

Zhao Kuangyin was stunned at the moment, in his impression, even a map the size of a square table would require hundreds of people to complete after months of exploration and calculation.

And at this moment, not far in front of him, there is a huge map with a length and width, seeing the dense text on it, as well as all kinds of strange items drawn, a map of this scale, the manpower and material resources used, I am afraid it will be an unimaginable number, so how can he not be surprised.

"Your Majesty, this is the map of the world drawn by the grass people overseas, the ancestors with the navigation knowledge accumulated by several generations, Your Majesty, please look here, this is the Asian continent, this is the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, and here, the center of the whole map, is the capital of my Great Song Dynasty, Bianjing, and the grass people, from here -- the African savannah, all the way across the ocean to my Great Song Dynasty." Jiang Yin pointed to the big map and said proudly, Zhao Kuangyin, who was sitting on the high platform in the distance, his expression was already shocked and could not be more shocked.

But Jiang Yin smiled slightly, is he shocked now? The real offering is just beginning
