The next day, during the morning court session, the Emperor summoned Grand Scholar Sun. He took out what he considered the simplest book on geography. After letting the scholar read it once, he asked, “Father-in-law, what are your thoughts on this?”
“Though it bears no resemblance to the Four Books and Five Classics we’ve studied, it is still a great book,” Grand Scholar Sun replied.

Gu Chengye elaborated, “We are more concerned about the location.”
