Xue Lang should not be familiar with the Tang Dynasty, so he did not draw a specific place or city, but a general location -
”this place should be the general location of the Tang Dynasty This area should be Koguryo, and then here is the sea. Across the sea, it is Ryukyu. Ryukyu used to be Japanese Fusang. Japan Fusang is an island country. In the past, there are some small island countries. The largest land is here! According to Western explorers, there is no country on this land at present. There are only some indigenous people on this land. It can be said that there is no owner's land. ”
Speaking of this, Xue Lang took a deep look at the king of Qin and said with regret: ”it is a pity that there should not be any ships that can be used for ocean voyage in our country's current navigation technology and shipbuilding technology. Otherwise, we can build a fleet of ships to trade on these small island countries with porcelain, silk and tea of our Dynasty, and come back for spices, gold and precious stones! ”
After that, he was sorry to smack his lips. He went up and said, ”due to the lack of shipbuilding technology in the southeast, we can't expand any more, and we can look forward to the West! This is where Tuyuhun should be. In the past, it was Tubo. It crossed the steep Himalayas and there were many small countries. Tianzhu, Baoxiang country and so on. I haven't been there, so I can't draw them. Southwest China is high in mountains and dangerous in road. It is rich in poisonous insects and beasts, but it is useless to transport it out! Then the North! There are vast grasslands and herds of cattle, sheep and horses here, which will be a threat to our Central Plains for hundreds of years to come. ”
The king of Qin clapped his hands on the case and snorted, ”Turk! Turks
Xue Lang roughly drew a map of the world. After drawing it, he spread the simple map on the ground and let the king of Qin watch it. The king of Qin looked at the map on the ground, his eyes twinkled, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Xue Lang picked out what he knew and drew the map only for inspiration and warning. Xue Lang hopes to let the future emperor understand that the Tang Dynasty is big, but it is too small compared with the world. As an emperor, there are too many places to struggle for, so we should be conscientious.
So, at the end of the day, a good family dinner was made by Xue Lang into a geography knowledge popularization course. The king of Qin didn't know which tendon was touched. He held Xue Lang talking all the time, and he didn't give up when he was in the lamplight. He had the intention of holding Xue Lang to have a night talk by candlelight.
Princess Pingyang looked at his tanned face and said, ”it's late. The day is long. Let's have a rest first. How about the next day?”
He said so, but his eyes looked at Xue Lang with concern from time to time. The king of Qin suddenly realized and said with a smile, ”yes, blame me. I can say it. Forget the time. Let's go and have a rest. Let's talk about it tomorrow.”
Princess Qin immediately got up and whispered to Princess Pingyang, ”elder sister, please follow me.”
Princess Pingyang nodded and went to the guest house with Princess Qin. Xue Lang also went to the guest house accompanied by the king of Qin. Amo led the way with a lantern in front of him. In the dim light of the light, the handsome face of the king Qin looked thoughtful and walked. He suddenly sighed: ”I met Youyang at weizeguan that day. I never thought that I would become a brother-in-law with Youyang one day.”
Xue Lang, with a shy smile, said, ”to tell you the truth, I never thought about it. I was still planning to be alone at that time, and I never thought about anything else.”
The king of Qin nodded and took two steps. Suddenly he turned back, looked solemnly at Xue Lang, and said, ”although you don't have much contact with Youyang, you are known to the people of the world. My elder sister is one of the rare strange women in the world. Now that I married you, I only hope you can treat her well. It will not waste us to meet each other.”
With that, he looked at Xue Lang eagerly, waiting for his reply. With the same solemnity and sincerity, Xue Lang said, ”I'm a loner in this world. Only with a princess can I have a home and care, and I'll be able to make a living. Princess means a lot to me My tongue is clumsy, and I can't express my feelings and thoughts. Do you understand, Shimin? ”
