The door opened, and three servants walked in with a charcoal basin, and another in the back with a load of black charcoal.

Qiu Shi beckoned the servant to put down the charcoal basin and black charcoal, and let them go back to their lives.

Zhong Yuqi glanced at the map on the table, and saw that there were many dense and colorful words on the map, and he couldn't tell whether this was a modern map or not. At first glance, this is certainly not the silhouette of the modern version. But it's not good, the territory of the ancient is not the same as the modern version.

Zhong Yuqi stood up, then bowed down to look inside.

County, prefecture, state, county, font from large and. The name of the county is in pale yellow depiction, which is equivalent to a province. The name of the province is in red stroke, which is equivalent to the provincial capital. The state name is in green font, everything else is in black font. The thick and thin black lines indicate the general outline of each county and state, and there is no identification between the counties. Rao is like this, so many county names are covered with paper.

There are also large blue circles indicating the lake, and the name of the lake is written on it. The black triangle indicates the peak, and the name is also written next to it.

The map is hand-drawn, and the literal layout is not the same as the modern version. Even the most font county names are very large, and the calligraphy is no longer easy to read. As a result, a seemingly simple map can be drawn as crowded as a modern version.

Just looking at these names, Zhong Yuqi is not analyzing history, and she can't see any way.

However, Zhong Yuqi seems to see two familiar figures, with a "several" character on the top and a frequency line below. Zhong Yuqi lowered her body again and traced these county lines with her fingers.

Qiu Shi saw that Zhong Yuqi was looking for something, so he pointed to one of the big red letters and said, "Sister, Sheng Jing is here!" Don't you recognize these two words? It shouldn't be! ”

In the end, Akimi turned into talking to himself.

Chunhua had never seen the map, and now she was looking at it curiously. Hearing Qiu Shi's words, he couldn't help but look at the place Qiu Shi pointed to.

Seeing those two words, Chunhua said: "This is the word 'Shengjing'!" Even I recognize it, how could my sister not recognize it? Sister Xu is looking somewhere else! ”

Zhong Yuqi glanced at the place Qiu Shi was pointing to, then looked at all the maps, and then pointed to the thick line in the north of Shengjing, and asked Qiu Shi: "Is there a big river here?" ”

Qiu Shi nodded and said, "Yes! There is a big river, and the water in the river is yellow all year round! Listen, the river goes to the north and the east to the sea. ”

Chunhua said: "Isn't it? I read that in the articles written by literati, the river water is clear, and only after days of heavy rain will the river become muddy. ”

Qiu Shi said: "However, in the historical biographies of the people I read, the big river they have been to is the yellow river!" And more than one person has done so! Could it be that when they went to the river, it was after days of heavy rain? ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "Perhaps, there is more than one big river in Dayu? ”

Then, Zhong Yuqi traced along the county line in the south again, and said, "Here, is it also a big river?" ”

Qiu Shi said: "Whether there is a river in the south, the slave maid does not know. However, the slave seems to remember that there is a big river in the south of Dayu Kingdom, which is as big as the big river in the north! Yes, the scenery on both sides of the river is very beautiful, not the same as the big river in the north, there is nothing to see on both sides. ”

Chunhua said: "Yes! The slaves and maids looked at those literati on a boat on the river, and the river bank was pleasantly viewed. What they are talking about may be the river that my sister is referring to. ”

Qiu Shi looked at the map for a long time, and said, "How can my sister see that this is a river, and here is a river?" What do slaves and maids think, aren't they all the dividing lines between counties? ”

"Rivers, lakes and mountains are natural barriers, and it is the most suitable to use them as boundary lines, which is also conducive to local management. Shengjing is located between two rivers, the two rivers stretch for so long from east to west, no matter where there is a change in the north and south, Shengjing will not be able to attack for a while, and Shengjing can still prepare. ”

Chunhua and Qiushi both nodded in agreement.

Zhong Yuqi had already learned the information he wanted, although the territory of the Great Yu Kingdom was not larger than the modern territory, it could be regarded as a collection of land with a concentrated population, similar to the territory of the Three Kingdoms to the Sui Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhong Yuqi said: "The whole map of Dayu Kingdom is so precious, it can't make any mistakes with me. It's better to send it back to the prince as soon as possible. ”

Qiu Shi was still unsatisfied, and when he heard that Zhong Yuqi was going to return the map, he hurriedly said to Zhong Yuqi: "Sister, the slave hasn't written down the location of each county yet!" Let the slave and maid watch it for a while! Doesn't my sister still want to know which places in the north have more snow and which places have less snow? ”

Zhong Yuqi already knew in his heart that the place with less snow in Qiushi refers to the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area, which now belongs to a county. The place where there is a lot of snow refers to the area of Inner Mongolia. It's just that the land in the north of Inner Mongolia and east to the north of Hebei now does not belong to the Dayu Kingdom, but to the Turks, which is not what she needs to know.

However, since Qiu Shi was so interested, Zhong Yuqi didn't want to spoil her interest, so she said: "Then you see, where is there more snow in the north and where is there less snow?" ”

Qiu Shi stretched out his fingers to point to the map, but he didn't know where to point for a while, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.

"Uh......"

Chunhua covered her mouth and smiled: "I'm afraid that even you can't tell where is the east and where is the north, right?" If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn't know what it was! ”

Chunhua is defending herself, she also mistook the river water for the river water before.

Qiu Shi's finger was raised again and scratched his scalp, frowning.

Zhong Yuqi pointed to the high mountain east of the river and said with a smile: "There is a high mountain here, and the east side of the mountain is close to the sun, so there are fewer snowy days here." The western side of the mountain is blocked by the high mountains, so there are more days of snow here. Isn't that so? ”

Zhong Yuqi: This is just nonsense, anyway, Chunhua and Qiushi don't know what the truth is.

In ancient times, the winter capital was relatively early, and the ancient saying "Shadow Hu will snow in August", which is the area of Inner Mongolia in the north, and it will snow in August as early as possible. Of course, this August refers to the eighth month of the lunar calendar.

As for the time when it snows less in the east, it is because of geographical reasons, and this is not clear to Chunhua and Qiushi.
