Building fat in the winter and losing weight in the summer, life is such a toss-up.
Fei Qian is currently in a state of fattening up. Anyway, no one is qualified to challenge nature during the winter, at least in the current Han Dynasty.
However, Fei Qian is still very happy now, and he is still very lucky, because he did not make a sudden move to keep Liu Xie in Luoyang, otherwise Fei Qian would be the one who is in trouble now.
No matter when, there is always a group of people who clamor for your own good, and then rush in front of you to point fingers. The reason is that they feel that you have not taken the path that suits their minds.
When Fei Qian learned about the quarrel between Liu Xie and Yang Biao, he couldn't help but smile. Yang Biao must have had a headache. Of course, Liu Xie was not a fool, and he also knew how to use some means to catch the corrupt minister.
He scolded the general minister severely and dismissed him in court.
Even if Yang Biao is present, under such circumstances, he cannot keep the general as a minister. Although everyone knows that the general embezzles iron ingots and so on, is it not so that Yang Biao can successfully form a new army?
Fei Qian can now understand Yang Biao's dilemma.
Not only that, Fei Qian also sent people to publicize Liu Xie's wise anti-corruption, just like the officials in history who Liu Xie noticed the corruption of the porridge factory...
To be honest, there are many doubts about the historical event of Liu Xie's porridge investigation.
At that time, it was said that there were many refugees in Chang'an City, so Liu Xie ordered the Taicang to be opened to store grain for cooking porridge. Then he discovered that Shihou Wen, the imperial censor, was corrupt, so he sent someone to fetch five liters of rice and five liters of beans each and boiled them into porridge, saying:
If he could cook two pots, it was confirmed that Hou Wen, the imperial censor, was corrupt, so he beat Hou Wen with fifty imperial sticks to end the problem. After that, the refugees in Chang'an City received full relief...
Not to mention that cooking two pots of porridge is definitely better than cooking one pot of porridge. The thickness of the porridge is actually not only related to water, but also related to many things. The most important thing is whether Liu Xie has the power to order the opening of Taicang.
?
In history, when Li Guo and Li Guo still occupied Chang'an and the imperial court, then Liu Xie had the power to mobilize the most important supplies in the army and take out Taicang's grain and grass?
Doesn't this mean that Liu Xie is in charge of the food bags that can affect the armies of Li and Guo at any time?
Haha, history.
But doubts remain doubts, and it is still okay to advocate a wave of propaganda, at least to add some obstruction to Yang Biao.
Fei Qian leisurely picked up the warm wine on the small red clay stove, then poured himself a bowl. He then looked at Pang Tong, who was almost lying on the table, and saw him staring at the table attentively.
Looking at the world map on the table, he seemed to be in a state of wandering, so he smiled and did not bother him. He picked up the bowl and drank slowly.
Water wine that has not been completely filtered is like the glutinous rice wine of later generations. It is sweet and sour and has an alcohol content, but not high.
This is brewed from the corn harvested in the new year. In order to thank the reform of land tax under Fei Qian's rule, ordinary farmers turned in less output and had a somewhat surplus. There are elders in the countryside who have harvested new crops.
After brewing the corn, he brewed it for two or three months and then personally sent it to Fei Qian as a token of his affection.
Of course, another meaning is to bribe Fei Qian, saying that the current agricultural policies are very good, and I hope Fei Qian can continue to maintain them. As long as he sees these corn wine, he can remember the benefits of the folks...
"Hey! I never thought the world could be so big!" Pang Tong suddenly slapped the table. Perhaps because he was so excited by what he saw, his lips were dry and his tongue was dry. He picked up the wine bowl on the table to drink, only to find that he had been drinking from it a long time ago.
He drank it all, and without thinking, he stretched out his hand and said to the attendant, "Here comes the wine! Drink it as a drink!"
Xu Shu on the side also laughed. He didn't care about Pang Tong's rudeness, but picked up the wine spoon and added it to Pang Tong, just like he did under Lushan. Although he was also related to Pang Gong, he was more like an elder brother.
Taking care of his younger brother.
Pang Tong drank it down, let out a long breath, and finally came to his senses. Then he reacted, put down the wine bowl in embarrassment, and held his hand towards Xu Shu.
Xu Shu smiled and said that he didn't need to worry about it: "When I first saw this picture of Junhou, I was fascinated and could hardly help myself!"
The maps of the Han Dynasty are like family heirlooms. Even the skill of drawing maps can support the family and be passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, there are great differences between maps. It is most common that there is no common scale.
one question.
Of course, this is only one of the more serious problems, and there are others.
"However, Lord..." Pang Tong said, "...where does this picture come from?"
Fei Qian looked up to the sky and let out a haha, and said: "Where did it come from... This cannot be said, it cannot be said... But what can be said is that this picture may be lacking in details, but the general outline should be correct.
…”
The details are naturally impossible to complete, and for Fei Qian, the world map in his memory was actually used by later generations for the convenience of drawing and for a more intuitive representation, so he used a method called "Horizontal Maxi projection"
"Map" drawing method, because the earth is generally round, but a three-dimensional surface must be projected onto a plane, and it must be connected and not divided, so this method can only be used.
However, the result of such a drawing is that the land area of high-latitude countries is seriously distorted. To be precise, the higher the latitude, the more serious the amplification.
As for where the map came from, Fei Qian couldn't say.
Pang Tong and Xu Shu looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. Fei Qian had no choice but to hang him up and torture him...
When your status reaches a certain level, you don't have to stress about saying things like "Please believe me" and "What I say is true" every day. Although Fei Qian is not an emperor now, to a certain extent, what he said
If so, it is the truth in Bingbei.
So Pang Tong gave up arguing with Fei Qian about the origin of this map, and chose to believe it, because he felt that if Fei Qian would talk about this issue in the future, he would. There are naturally reasons why he can't talk about it now...
…
"...junhou...where is Dawan located?" Pang Tong cast his eyes on the world map and suddenly asked.
Fei Qian stretched out his head, then clicked near Zhongya, and said irresponsibly: "It's almost here..."
As for the children of the Han ethnic group, they have little or no interest in other countries, but they have always had an extreme desire for Dawan.
It’s almost like the situation in later generations where people heard that that place was good for rich people and stupid people...
The deeds of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his western expedition to the Kingdom of Dayuan are naturally engraved in the hearts of every descendant of the Han gentry.
"What? Dawan is actually here?!" Pang Tong raised his head suddenly, then looked down at the map, gestured and said, "This...this...is only half..."
Xu Shu also came over, took a look, and said: "The country of Dayuan, to govern the mountain city of Guizhou, is 12,550 miles away from Chang'an... In this way, the end of the Western Region is... well... two
Fifteen thousand miles?”
"Pfft..." Fei Qian was drinking a small drink. When he heard this, he almost couldn't hold it back and puffed out. After all, the word was too familiar.
The number of distances on the maps of the Han Dynasty is another huge problem, and it is very arbitrary. Just like the values in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, they are approximate numbers and cannot be taken seriously at all.
After all, Zhang Qian alone has the final say in this book about the Western Regions. No one has the right to say that Zhang Qian is lying about how many kilometers it really is. But the problem is that when Zhang Qian was in the Western Regions, he almost always ran around and was hunted down.
In the beginning, there were people who were dedicated to measuring the distance, which was more or less acceptable. But later on, when all the people were gone and they were on the run, they still had the energy to measure the distance?
"This... almost..." Fei Qian could only say this. Because Fei Qian really didn't know how far away the Pamir Plateau was.
Pang Tong frowned, but said with some dissatisfaction: "It was almost the same before, and it is almost the same now. I say Junhou, there are a few more similar ones, let's discuss it together..."
Fei Qian laughed loudly and said: "How can you blame someone? I can know this, which is already good!" This does not mean that Fei Qian is unreasonable, because there is no specific data in this regard in his memory, not to mention
There are many changes in the records in ancient documents, and they are even more confusing, with different opinions.
As for the country of Da Qin, Fei Qian originally thought it was Persia or Rome, but this is not the case. The name "Da Qin" represented different countries and regions in each dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, Da Qin refers to India.
In the Northeast region, the Great Qin of the Tang Dynasty became Persia, the Great Qin of the Song Dynasty actually referred to the Seljuqs, and the Great Qin of the Ming Dynasty referred to the Ottoman Empire...
Who can blame this meow?
Fei Qian seemed to be able to hear many historians hiding in the coffins, laughing.
This is the case for Chinese historians. In fact, the same is true for foreign history writers...
"I won't talk about these specific values. This is just an outline. I will add it slowly when the dispatched people come back..." Fei Qian decided to divert Pang Tong's attention away from the details, put down the wine bowl, and said
, "Actually, there is one thing that needs to be said..."
"The big man is very strong!" Fei Qian looked at Pang Tong and Xu Shu seriously, and then said, "Even in the next hundreds or even thousands of years, we Chinese people, whether it is the way of farming or the skills of craftsmen,
, are the best in the entire world..."
"This is natural!" Pang Tong said, shaking his big head, "The strong man will be in the center. This has been the destiny since ancient times!"
Fei Qian shook his head and said: "It's not a fixed number, but a inheritance. The person who inherits this inheritance is you and me, and even everyone in the world who understands writing. It is a stroke by stroke, a trickle of details, and the ancient civilization is conveyed bit by bit.
It has been passed down to this day... You and I should be the inheritance of China, drink it well!"
After hearing this, the three of them happily raised their glasses and drank a bowl.
"...the knowledge inherited by China today far exceeds all in this world...but these treasures were not created by one family, but by the people of China..." Fei Qian put down his wine bowl and was silent for a while, then
Said, "...Now, there are already some bad signs...Chinese civilization is shared by all Chinese people in the world, how can it be something that belongs to one family? Such a policy that fools the people will eventually harm the country and leave disasters for thousands of years...
"
On the one hand, to govern the country, scholars are needed, but at the same time, scholars must be ruled and shackles put on them, so in the end a weird thing was formed.
In fact, Fei Qian has always had some doubts. The so-called civilization actually means having an ins and outs. Generally speaking, it is impossible to make any sudden leaps. However, the natives of Europe were catching witches and burning them to death the next moment.
Suddenly there is a Renaissance?
Time travel?
Of course this possibility cannot be ruled out.
But there is a more reliable guess.
The state of technological development after the European Renaissance cannot be used to prove the ignorance and barbaric state of Europe before the 15th century AD. In other words, the civilization of Europe was after the 15th century, that is, the Renaissance. This is the truth, then this literature and art
Where does the knowledge of revival come from?
The white lotus blooming from the midst of ignorance and chaos?
There is an interesting saying in later generations, and Fei Qian still remembers it deeply - it is said that two complete versions of "Yongle Dian" were hidden and stored in later generations. One was secretly kept by the Vatican and was called true wisdom. The other is a duplicate.
The engraved version is in Israel, hidden in a place known as Solomon's Treasure...
Anyway, Europeans have been embellishing their faces on this matter. They claim to have inherited the civilization of the Romans and Greeks, but in fact until later generations, no one can completely prove this. Most of the so-called ancient temples
It was reworked and made old by later generations in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Just like the so-called ancient city of Palmyra in Syria, it had only one pillar at the beginning, and then after the French renovated it around 1960, it became a large group of magnificent buildings. A city that was abandoned in the 18th century, only
A pillar, Europeans actually created magnificent palaces and cities...
The ancient Western civilization had nothing to do with Greece and Rome, and it had no connection with Europeans. Therefore, the vast majority of people in Europe during the Han Dynasty should still be purely indigenous...
There are no so-called Arabic books by Europeans. It is Europeans who fabricated European history on the basis of Arab records. In fact, there are no so-called Arab records. It is a pity that the Arabs have to bear the blame.
As long as you ask about the sources of the so-called "History of Rome", "History of Greece", and "General History of the World", you will always find that the original has been lost. Since the original has been lost, where can the so-called record come from?
In the Arab historical materials, there are no words such as Byzantium and Eastern Rome at all. There are only mentions of Roma, Istanbulites, Turks, Sudanese, etc., and then after European translation and publication, it became Byzantium, Eastern Rome...
"This world is very big..." Fei Qian said leisurely to Pang Tong and Xu Shu who were thoughtful, "But after all, you and I have limited life spans, so maybe this generation can't see it... But I think, maybe we can put these
Things should be passed on, so that the next generation, or even the next generation, can go out and see what the world is like... Of course, the premise is that we have to spread these things, just like the crops sown in spring, will we
One day it will become the fine wine in front of us..."
