Chapter 235: Globe

Lu Ning stood and dozed off, saliva flowed out, and suddenly someone stabbed him in the back, thinking that the two ladies were joking with him.

"Don't make trouble, your back hurts, Miaojin, don't be so hard, my husband was too tired yesterday, can I rest!"

At this time, the Golden Palace was quiet, although his words were not loud, but they were also heard by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and they all couldn't help laughing.

Zhu Yuanzhang was angry and funny, and said.

"You bastard, what do you think of good things? Don't wake up yet! ”

Lu Ning was frightened, rubbed his eyes, raised his eyes, and saw that the imperial uncle was facing the sole of a shoe that he had found out of nowhere, looking at him with a cannibalistic gaze.

It's broken, it's oolong!

"Uncle Huang, my nephew and nephew are thinking about one more thing, which is an important matter related to my Ming national economy and people's livelihood."

Zhu Yuanzhang held back a smile with disdain and snorted and asked.

"What is it that is important to the livelihood of my Daming International People's Livelihood, which makes your waist hurt?"

As he spoke, he grabbed his ears and pulled him out from behind Liu Bowen.

"You just stand in the middle of the court, tell us in detail, if you can't say anything, we'll use this sole to give you a palm!"

After speaking, he raised the sole of his hand and shook it in front of Lu Ning's eyes.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang still recognizes this nephew's talent, and knows that he often has some ingenious plans that can solve practical difficulties, so he threatens him half-truthfully.

As for those words, they are just showing an attitude, this is a countermeasure in the court, you give us a serious point!

Although Lu Ning is sometimes out of tune, he can really handle it when it comes to the critical moment, so he listens to him calmly.

"Uncle Qijuanhuang: My nephew has been thinking about how to lay down Dongying, firstly, to open up the territory for my Ming Dynasty, and secondly, to solve my Ming border troubles once and for all."

In the past few days, Zhu Yuanzhang and Junchen have been thinking about this matter, but there are a lot of elders in Shangshu Pavilion, and they have not discussed it for several days.

In everyone's surprised eyes, Lu Ning directly took out a globe in his sleeve and asked the eunuch Xiao Songzi to send it to Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon book case.

"What is this flowery green, yellow and blue?"

It turns out that this globe is a model of the earth carved to scale on the basis of modern hierarchical coloring maps. Among them, the plateaus and mountains are also shaped according to a certain proportion, which is quite three-dimensional.

Lu Ning explained next to him.

"It's called a globe, and it's the true shape of the earth we live in, but we all live on a very large sphere."

At this moment, the ministers listened to it straightly, and the scholar Song Lian immediately came out to ask questions.

"How so? Didn't the ancestors always say that the sky is round and the earth is round? ”

Lu Ning suddenly remembered that when the missionary Matteo Ricci entered the court in the late Ming Dynasty, those questions asked him by famous Confucians, including this question.

So he talked eloquently and said.

"There is a reason for this, when we are sailing, we see a ship coming from afar, why we have to see the mast first, and then we can see the whole hull, because the earth is round."

Seeing the thoughtful appearance of the Manchu civil and military forces, including Song Lian, he continued to expound his unique worldview.

"Why does Mr. Song think the sky is round? It's an intuitive illusion caused by us standing on a round sphere. As for saying that the ground is square, just because this ball is too big, the cities we built are all square, which is just an illusion for everyone. ”

Song Lian felt that what he said had some truth, and asked why we didn't fall since we were standing on the ball?

Lu Ning explained to him again: This is because this ball is indescribably big compared to us. And there is a magical attraction on it, which sucks us firmly on the surface of the ball, and it is difficult to jump up a foot.

Some generals flew out of the public and tried it, but sure enough, they didn't jump high. also said one after another, or Lord Lu is knowledgeable, and he really admires it.

Song Lian also nodded and said.

"Lord Lu, I really want to go to the beach to verify your words in person."

At this time, Lu Ning explained movingly, I am Da Ming's position on this sphere.

He knows that the people of Daming have a strong sense of self-esteem, thinking that my Daming is at the center of the world, and there are some wild gangs on the side.

Referring to Matteo Ricci's current map experience, he deliberately put the earth's axis. The position of the Daming Song Mountain is marked to make him look like the center of this world, which is the position of the earth's axis and corresponds to the North Star.

The globe he made looked very tall.

Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Long Yan Dayue and listened to him explain the things on the globe, so he was extra attentive.

At this time, the continent world had been controlled by the Church, and it was still in a state of darkness for thousands of years.

And the Ming Dynasty, although it is only one of the relatively large countries, has a brilliant civilization, far better than all the countries in the world.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang, they were very proud and fascinated, and he began to draw a big cake for Zhu Yuanzhang's monarchs and ministers.

He told everyone directly.

"Dongying may be the first colony of the Ming Dynasty, but the colonies of the Ming Dynasty are not only limited to Dongying, whether it is Annam and Java in the future, as well as various small countries, they may be conquered by the Ming Dynasty as overseas colonies of the Ming Dynasty."

At this time, everyone was stunned by the blueprint he had drawn.

Zhu Yuanzhang also Zhu Yuanzhang pinched the shoes in his hand and didn't know where to throw them, and he was stunned for a long time before he said.

"You kid really has two tricks, but you first give us a charter and set a specific action plan."

Lu Ning bargained with Zhu Yuanzhang and said.

"Uncle Huang, if you want a specific plan, you can let me take a few days of marriage leave first."

Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that it was not very close to him to bring people from his newlyweds, so he had no choice but to agree.
