Chapter 338 Popularization of Geographical Knowledge
Xue Lang should not be familiar with the Tang Dynasty, so he did not draw specific locations and cities, but drew approximate locations-
"This place should be the approximate location of my Datang...... This piece should be Goguryeo, and then here is the ocean, across the ocean, it is Ryukyu, Ryukyu used to be Dongying Fuso, Dongying Fuso is an island country, and then there are some small island countries, and the largest land is here! According to Western explorers, there is currently no country in this land, only some indigenous people, and it can be described as a terra nullius. ”
Speaking of this, Xue Lang glanced at King Qin with deep meaning, and said with regret: "It's a pity that my current navigation technology and shipbuilding technology should not have ships that can be used for ocean voyages. Otherwise, we can build a fleet of ships that sail far away, wear the porcelain, silk, and tea of our dynasty and go to these small island countries to trade, and exchange spices, gold, and precious stones! ”
After speaking, he smacked his lips regretfully, walked up with the end of the pen, and said: "The southeast direction is limited by the problem of insufficient shipbuilding technology, and it cannot be expanded, and look to the west!" Tuyuhun should be this piece, in the past it was Tubo, over the steep and tall Himalayas, and there were many small countries. Tianzhu, Baoxiangguo, etc., the specific location is not drawn because I have never been there, so I can't draw it. The southwest region is high and dangerous, with many poisonous insects and beasts, although the products are rich, but it is useless to not transport them! And then there's the North! There are vast grasslands here, with herds of cattle, sheep and horses, and it is also the threat of our Central Plains for hundreds of years to come. ”
King Qin slapped the case table, snorted, and gritted his teeth: "Turkic! Turkic! ”
Xue Lang roughly drew a map of the world, and after drawing it, he spread the simple map on the ground and let the King of Qin look at it. King Qin looked at the map on the ground, his eyes flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Xue Lang picked out what he knew, and the purpose of drawing this map was just to inspire and warn. Xue Lang hopes to make the future emperor understand that the Tang Dynasty is big, but it is too small compared to the world. As an emperor, there are too many places to struggle, and it is necessary to be conscientious.
So, in the end, a good family banquet was turned into a geography knowledge popularization class by Xue Lang. King Qin didn't know which tendon was touched, so he pulled Xue Lang and kept talking, and he didn't stop when it was time to hold the lamp, and he had the intention of pulling Xue Lang to talk at night.
Princess Pingyang looked at the tiredness on his tanned face, and said: "It's late, the coming day is long, and how about resting first, and then talking about it in the next day?" ”
said this, but his eyes glanced at Xue Lang with concern from time to time. King Qin suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Yes, blame me, you have to talk about it, forget the hour, everyone go to rest, and talk about it tomorrow." ”
Princess Qin immediately got up and whispered to Princess Pingyang, "Sister, please come with me." ”
Princess Pingyang nodded, and went to the guest house with Princess Qin. Xue Lang also went to the guest house accompanied by King Qin, Ah Mo carried a lantern to lead the way in front, in the dim light of the lamp, King Qin's handsome face, thoughtful, walking, and suddenly sighed: "That day in Weize Pass, I met Youyang for the first time, and I never thought that one day I would become Uncle Lang with Youyang and form an in-law." ”
Xue Lang smiled shyly and said, "Don't tell you the world, I never thought about it, I still had the intention of being alone at that time, and I never thought about anything else." ”
King Qin nodded, walked two steps, suddenly turned around, looked solemnly, looked at Xue Lang with serious eyes, and said: "Although I don't have much contact with Youyang, but Youyang is a person, the people know it, my sister is a rare woman in the world, and now that I am married to you, I only hope that you will treat her well, so it is not in vain that we meet and intersect." ”
After speaking, he looked at Xue Lang eagerly, waiting for his reply. Xue Lang also said with the same solemnity and sincerity: "I am a lonely person in this world, and with a princess, I have a home, I have to care, and only then can I have a head." The princess means a lot to me...... I have a clumsy tongue, and I can't express my feelings and thoughts in my heart. ”
King Qin looked at him with burning eyes, with a smile in his eyes, and said, "I already know why Sister chose you to be a concubine. Youyang has a good rest tonight, and the people of the world will drink with Youyang tomorrow! ”
After saying that, he left with a smile, leaving Xue Lang confused-
So, did King Qin understand his words or didn't understand it? Talking to smart people is not only a test of emotional intelligence, but also a test of IQ!
When he arrived at the guest house prepared for him, there was still boiling hot water for him to bathe. Xue Lang brought the habit from later generations, as long as the conditions permit, he has to take a hot bath every night, this habit, those who follow him know, they can't imagine that they can enjoy it when they come to Qin Wangfu as a guest today, is it specially explained by Her Royal Highness the Princess?
Xue Lang happily took a hot bath, washed away his fatigue, and then fell asleep satisfied. After a night without words, under the effect of the strong biological clock, Xue Lang woke up in the morning as always, and it was inconvenient to go to the yard to run in other people's houses, so he warmed up in the room and insisted on doing a hundred push-ups.
When the exercise is finished, the whole body is hot, and in the sweat, I ask someone to bring hot water to wash, and after washing, I get dressed and go out-
King Qin has not gotten up yet from a hangover. After sending Xue Lang back last night, he seemed to be in a good mood for some reason, and drank two glasses of liquor brought by Xue Lang, but he was drunk and still hasn't gotten up.
King Qin can only withstand two glasses, this small amount of wine...... Gee! From the son to the father, the amount of alcohol that comes to the sage comrade is not good, so if you calculate it, it is not a problem for Xue Lang to drink the Li family alone! Alas! Invincible! How lonely it is to be invincible!
went out with a smile, and arrived at the hall under the guidance of Ah Mo, and before he could look at the situation in the room, he heard the voice of Princess Pingyang and asked with a smile: "Why are you so happy?" Look at your smile on your face. ”
Of course, Xue Lang didn't dare to say what he thought in his heart, so he snorted, sat down next to Princess Pingyang in the past, and said, "It's nothing." ”
Princess Pingyang saw that he didn't say anything, and didn't ask anymore, and said with concern: "I saw that your face was tired yesterday, but today your complexion is much better, so it's good." ”
Xue Lang smiled: "Spring ploughing these days, so be busy." Jianling rest assured, when the wedding comes, I will definitely be able to come back for nothing. ”
Princess Pingyang was teased by him, but she was not ashamed, but looked him up and down, and said slowly: "Even if Bai doesn't come back, this palace will not dislike you, at most, let Xue Jungong put two more layers of incense powder on you." ”
“……”
Xue Lang was speechless, this is an example of wanting to molest people and being counter-molested, his Royal Highness the princess really can't judge it with common sense! Princess Pingyang couldn't help laughing when she saw his speechless appearance: "Call your mouth bad!" ”
"I was wrong!"
Xue Lang decisively admits defeat!
