Chapter 457

The map in front of her was much larger than any map she had ever seen. Look at the ten roads in the world marked everywhere, as well as Tubo and tuhuoluo, and then there were Koguryo, Silla, Baiji in the northeast, and the Japanese Kingdom across the sea.

Looking down the map, Quanzhou, Jiangnan and other places are clearly marked. Wu Mei goes down, looks across the sea at a distance of about two fingers wide, points to nayizhou and says, "is this the Yizhou? It looks like Japan. It's surrounded by water. "

"Yes, this is Yizhou. In the former Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang sent Zhu Kuan and Chen Ling to this place three times."

"Jiangnan and Jiangnan are separated by the Yangtze River." Wu Mei focused on the map, one by one marked by Li Hong, this is the first time in her life, so intuitive gaze at the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

From Shule in the west of Anxi to Anton in the East, from the cloud in the north to Yazhou in the south, I stare at all the place names on the map again and again. Looking at the geographical location, I feel a sense of pride and satisfaction. The Tang Dynasty was like this.

Li Hong pointed to Pingzhou, where Qin Shihuang sent Lu Sheng, a Yan man, to seek immortality in the sea. He said, "empress mother, this is Pingzhou. Facing it is Liaodong, this is Dengzhou. Facing it is zhixia city of Baiji. Now Baiji wants to travel to and from the Tang Dynasty. If Gaogouli is not popular, they can only walk by water."

Wu Mei's beautiful eyes flow, with Li Hong's fingers pointing to look at, murmured: "the distance of this world is so far, I can't imagine it's so close on the size of white paper."

"Yes, you see here, this is the De'an city of Baiji, and it is so close to the Japanese state. In recent years, the Japanese state has been repairing and fighting with Baiji and Silla for a while, and then it has come here on this sea..."

With Li Hong's fingers flying up and down the map, Wu Mei fainted for a moment and understood. In short, Li Hong meant that Pingzhou and Dengzhou were all in the same curve, because the place on the map formed an encircling shape, which prevented the wind from blowing and caused the wind on the sea surface, which was not like that outside the sea area The sea area is as high as the roof, and there are bigger waves. So this sea area is called the Bohai Sea.

However, the voyages of Japan are on the real sea surface. The wind and waves are much bigger than those inside, which is called the Yellow Sea. Their navigation is much braver than that of the Tang Dynasty, and their understanding of the sea is more profound than ours.

Today's Tang people are sailing along the coastline that Li Hong painted. Actually, they don't really enter the sea. Instead, they sail along the coastline on the sea not far from the land.

The reason why Li Chunfeng wanted to build ships in Quanzhou and other places was to enable the Tang people to go deeper into the sea, go further, and have a deeper understanding of the sea than the Japanese.

After listening to Li Hong's words, Wu Mei felt as if she were in front of Venus.

"After saying so much, don't you mean to say that you invested so much money in Quanzhou to explore the ocean? But now the court sees you splashing money, but you don't see any return. " Wu Mei's brain swells and shakes her head. With the help of Li Hong, she sits down on the sofa. After calming down for a while, she says with difficulty.

"This is a long-term investment. It's normal that we can't see any interests in the short term. But as long as the money is thrown out, the return of the ocean to us is far greater than you think. So let me tell you, at the beginning, Taiyi city of the children's ministers was also allowed to tighten their belts. Now? You don't know the reward. After Li Chunfeng's ship is built well, the reward we can get in the Tang Dynasty is not comparable to that of a Taiyi City, but none of the three or five Taiyi cities can match it. " Li Hong looked at the dragon mother who was a little moved. At last, he only said three or five Taiyi city's wealth. He was afraid that the chicken feather duster which appeared inexplicably would be called on him if he said something bigger.

Wu Mei's mind is still chaotic at the moment. Although her heart has calmed down a little, she has a clear map of the territory marked by the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, it is the unpredictable and beautiful ocean that Li Hong said is just like the purgatory of the world, which makes people both afraid and dreamy.

In her mind, land and sea appeared repeatedly, which made her unable to figure out a clue for a while. However, she still grasped the contradiction in Li Hong's words: "since the ocean is so terrible, why do you want to send someone to go deep? What's more, when you talk about the ocean, you spit and look excited. Are you thinking of something

"Ah? No, what the minister said is true. " Li Hong didn't expect the dragon mother to ask such a question. He opened one of his closed eyes in a hurry, and released the movement of the gun in his right hand.

Wu Mei gives him a bad look. Although she doesn't understand why Li Honggang has to pretend to be a one eyed dragon with one eye closed, her hands are still gesticulating with unknown gestures, and her face is obscene, frivolous and careless. But from the perspective of being a mother, she was keenly aware that the boy must be making some wrong ideas.I can't make it right. Li Xian has not been taken seriously by him. He just took a hand to calculate all Li Xian's affairs when he completed his established plan.

Li Hong put away his subconscious appearance of pretending to be a Pirates of the Caribbean. He sat down beside Wu Mei and said, "didn't you notice that, mother? In the map drawn by Er Chen, don't you see that the territory of the ocean is about the same as that of the land? Think about it. If the Tang Dynasty controls the sea, will all the foreign ships have to listen to us? Japan seems to be honest, but in fact, they have discovered the precious resources on the sea. They often go out to sea to harass the fishermen in Datang, Quanzhou and other places. You should have heard of this in chaotang? However, it did not cause any great harm, and the court did not pay attention to it. But if one day, there are more Japanese ships or other foreign ships in front of our house? It is very difficult for them to invade the land of Datang with our present force. But what if they keep blocking us from going to sea? We'll be stuck on land... "

"If you're sleepy, life on the sea is not comfortable. I feel uncomfortable when I go to Qujiang pool to take a boat, let alone take a five tooth warship from Luoyang to take the Yongji canal. As long as we don't let them go to our land, how can they do anything to the Tang Dynasty?" Wu Mei naturally said.

Anyway, now she doesn't think the ocean is as important as Li Hong said. Besides, as Li Hong said, there are fish bigger than houses, snakes, sharks and other ghosts that will kill when they smell blood. In this case, it's better to let foreigners go to the sea to die.

"This You can't say that, mother. It's dangerous and wrong to think like this! " Li Hong's face was serious. Facing the feather duster raised by Long Ma's hand, Li Hong did not flinch and spoke in a righteous way.

With this look, Wu Mei was subdued, and she slowly put down the feather duster in her hand. However, she said in her heart: "you are more and more courageous. It seems that your majesty has been taught by him several times in Liaodong, and now she even dares to teach herself.".

He pressed down his resentment in his heart and said patiently, "well, you should tell me how dangerous and wrong you are. If you can't say one, two or three, Li Hong, don't blame me for my ruthlessness!" Say finally, Wu Mei still can't help but intimidate way.

Li Hong was numb to this unreasonable threat and rolled his eyes. In order that he could go south for a year and a half, he had to Bear it!

He ran to the table attentively, and took the map, which was as smooth as a mirror, and folded it on her leg. As soon as it was spread out, the feather duster in the Dragon Mother's hand flew to his shoulder, and the voice of dragon mother's indignation sounded in his ear: "a good map, folded like this, is not afraid of being damaged! Put it on the table, spread it out flat and say it won't work? "

"I The son minister wants to get to the mother's back... "

"Don't you have feet in this palace? This Palace won't go to the table to see you explain? A good map is full of folds. Before your father and Emperor look at it, he will let you crumple it up and put it on the table! " Wu Mei is in love with the map, and the feather duster knocks on someone's hand to roll up the map again.

Li Hong had to sigh for a long time. The son was better than a broken map to let the queen care. The appointee takes the map and opens it on the table again.

At this time, Wu Mei bent down and carefully smoothed the folds with both hands. It seemed that the map was more precious than her gold and silver jewelry.

Looking at Wu Mei's careful and cautious appearance, Li Hong sighed again and comforted him: "empress mother, if you want this map, I'll ask the Hongwen museum to send you two. It's clearer than this one, and it's much bigger. It looks more intuitive. You can hang it on the wall and look at it slowly."

Wu Mei raised her head and gave Li Hong an angry look. Then she continued to lower her head and smoothed the folds that had just been made by the loser. She said coldly, "those maps are not as good as this one. Although they are more detailed, they can draw all the territory of the Tang Dynasty, including those of foreign countries, on it, but very few, and You don't know that the maps painted on silk and sheepskin had such a complete territory Map? "

"What the ER Chen said is the same as what you see now, but it is much more rigorous than the temporary careerist, and it is also the whole territory Map of the Tang Dynasty." Li Hong looked at the dragon mother, who was still bent over to smooth out the folds of the map, and suddenly said with some heartache.

Perhaps the beauty of the territory of the Tang Dynasty has never been seen, so it is the first time that I can see the magnificent map.
