Opening your eyes to the world is an idea, not a concrete event.

Li Qinzai, who is familiar with the humiliation of the next century, knows very well what happens when a country rests on its laurels and is arrogant.

While others are busy applying gunpowder to weapons, we use it as artillery and fireworks.

Backward thinking is backwardness, do not call it "peace-loving" and other sophistry, self-deception is meaningless, the jungle of the weak and the strong is full of cannibalistic jackals, tigers and leopards, why must the Chinese be peace-loving?

When China was as strong as the Han and Tang dynasties, did the emperors of the past dynasties love peace?

All the humiliation is due to the fact that the country is closed to the outside world, self-styled and the country, ignoring the development of science and technology outside, and fooling the people and bullying the people inside.

The Braided Dynasty invaded thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, but did not cherish the people. is like the stepmother of the continuation of the string in the big family, anyway, it was not her own, whether it was property or heirs, everything that could be sold was taken out and sold.

is obviously already a family member, but sitting in the Forbidden Palace proudly dreaming of Lao Tzu being the best in the world, it will be unreasonable not to be ousted.

Li Qinzai does not expect to change the status quo of Datang, he only hopes to give Datang a concept, just like mathematics and physics knowledge, it will be one thing to learn or not, the important thing is that you must know that there is such a thing in the world.

The same is true of what Li Zhi said, Li Qinzai must let him know that the world is more small than what he sees, and there are countless lands and seas waiting for him and the emperors of the past to conquer.

If he can see a broader world and arouse his ambitions, whether it is a prosperous era under his rule or a strong army, the Tang Dynasty will only become stronger and stronger, and it will be worthy of the new map opened by Li Qinzai.

Li Qinzai can be a salted fish, but Li Zhi can't.

"In the extreme east of the sea, there is a vast continent, the land is wider than the entire Datang, most of them are plains, you can grow all kinds of crops, and there are many products on the mainland that the Tang Dynasty does not have, if it can be transplanted to the Datang, the people will not worry about food from generation to generation." Li Qinzai said in a very firm tone.

Li Zhi was surprised and delighted: "Is there really such a place?" Why have I never heard of it, and how did you know about it? ”

Li Qinzai showed a look of embarrassment, how did he know, he hadn't made up this nonsense yet, and then talked about the white-bearded grandmother in his dream, I was afraid that Li Zhi would not be able to believe it, and he was suspected of insulting the IQ of the Son of Heaven, and it was not too big or too small to be considered a bully.

Seeing that Li Qinzai was embarrassed, Li Zhi made up the answer in his brain, and suddenly realized: "I know that it is the secret of your Mo family, right?" ”

Li Qinzai was stunned: "The Mo family? ”

"Aren't you a disciple of the Mo family? Oh, Jing Chu doesn't have to hide it, although I don't know how you got the Mo family inheritance, but I don't have blind eyes......"

"Jing Chu's various skills, all kinds of new things created, and all kinds of knowledge about mathematics and gewu, what else can you be if you are not a disciple of the Mo family?"

As he spoke, Li Zhi squeezed his eyes at him, revealing a smug expression that I had already seen everything.

Li Qinzai wiped the sweat from his forehead and saluted him convincingly: "Your Majesty's eyes are really not blind...... The minister was full of admiration. ”

Li Zhi slapped his thigh and laughed proudly: "What can I hide from my eyes in the world?" Wha! ”

Li Qinzai's lips twitched a few times, and finally chose to shut up.

If it was his own student, he should have been so sarcastic that he cried out at this moment, Li Zhi's stupid and confident expression at this moment was definitely the target of Li Qinzai's attack.

"Heh, I'm off topic, let's get down to business. Jing Chu said that there is land in the extreme east of the sea, as well as various products and grains that do not exist in the Tang Dynasty, where is that land? ”

Li Qinzai thought about it and felt that it was really difficult to explain it in words, so he squatted down, picked up a branch casually, and drew it on the dirt floor.

A simplified version of the world map finally appeared in this world, like a faint spark, flickering in the dark and dazed night.

Li Zhi's eyes widened, looking at the simplified version of the map under his feet, full of confusion and confusion.

Li Qinzai pointed to a certain area on the map and drew a circle, and said: "Your Majesty, this is our Datang, and the Datang occupies only such a small piece of land on this map, and other places, including our neighboring countries, only occupy a small piece." ”

"The real world is like this, Your Majesty, look at how many places are waiting for us to conquer."

Saying that, Li Qinzai pointed the branch to the American continent and said: "The land rich in products that the minister just mentioned is here, and it is necessary to build a sea ship to form an invincible fleet, and go to sea from Quanzhou or Dengzhou, all the way to the west, and you can reach that continent......"

"But the risk is very high, very high, the sea climate and wind and waves are unpredictable, bad luck is the result of the ship capsizing, of course, the risk is proportional to the benefit, if you can reach that continent, the benefits are incredible."

"Your Majesty's heart and mind of high-yield grain, that continent has it, one is called 'corn', the other is called 'potato', the yield per mu can exceed 1,000 catties, if you can get seeds and bring them back to the Tang Dynasty, our people will not be afraid of hunger for generations."

Li Zhi's expression became more and more shocked, and by the time Li Qinzai finished speaking, he was already shocked and looked at Li Qinzai in disbelief.

"You, you...... Is that true? Li Zhi had already begun to stutter.

Li Qinzai said seriously: "What the minister said is absolutely not false, and he is willing to guarantee it with a head, but the minister still has to emphasize over and over again that the risk is really big." ”

"A fleet going to sea not only costs a huge amount of money, but also involves tens of thousands of lives, if a wave hits the sea, if the sea ship can't bear it, thousands of lives will be buried in the sea."

Li Zhi's face turned red and blue, and his expression was in a struggle.

Which is more important, human life or profit?

In fact, for the emperor, there is no need to choose this question at all.

The question before Li Zhi at this moment is whether what Li Qinzai said is credible, how much price he needs to pay to get a hundredfold and thousandfold benefit, and whether this price can be paid by the current national strength.

"Jing Chu, you've given me another problem." Li Zhi stared at the map under his feet and smiled bitterly, but his eyes were shining, although his expression was embarrassed, but his eyes were clearly flashing with gambler-like excitement, and even a hint of madness before placing a bet.

Li Qinzai sighed secretly.

In fact, he is also hesitating these days, whether to let this world map appear in front of Li Zhi.

This map may cause thousands of casualties among the Tang Dynasty soldiers, but the American continent may not be able to find it after paying a heavy price.

Not every kind of effort and sacrifice can be rewarded, pay and sacrifice are inevitable, but the return is actually random.

However, Li Qinzai finally decided to dedicate this map to Li Zhi.

If you look at this kind of effort as the throes of growing up and becoming stronger, perhaps you don't mind the sacrifice of thousands of people so much.

Their sacrifice will be exchanged for the people of the Tang Dynasty for generations to have no worries about food and clothing, is it worth it?

This is a question to ask those who are about to die.
