"But I still have a question. Since there is a natural fishing ground in Changguo County, why have the Japanese pirates occupied it for so many years and never heard of them fishing? Did they not discover it?"
Tang He looked confused.
Han Du smiled and explained: "It's really possible that they didn't notice it."
How is this possible? If the Japanese pirates were not discovered for a short time, Tang He still thinks it is possible, but since they have not been discovered for so many years, this is simply impossible.
"The fishing grounds in the sea are a little different from those in the lakes. On the surface, every seawater looks the same. This is because the fish in the sea almost never come to the surface. They are all ten feet underwater, even
They are operating at a depth of dozens of feet. In such a situation, even if those Japanese pirates row boats on the sea every day, they will not be able to detect it."
If that's the case, it's really hard to find.
"But in this case, from such a deep place, are you sure you can fish out the fish?"
"Sir, if you want to fish out such a deep sea fish, it is naturally not enough to rely on your own strength." Han Du patiently explained, "But we can gather the strength of everyone to complete this matter."
With that said, Han Du told Tang He how to use a big boat to drag a big net for fishing.
"Is this method feasible?" Tang He was dumbfounded.
Han Du said with certainty: "Okay, sure. Sir, think about how powerful a big ship is with its sails spread out on the sea. Why can't it be done?"
"You ask me to think about it again, think about it again..."
A few days later, Lao Zhu took Tang He to the Han family.
As soon as he sat down, Lao Zhu asked bluntly: "Is there really a fishing ground in Changguo County? How did you know?"
Han Du glanced at Tang He, and it was obvious that he reported what happened that day to Lao Zhu.
After thinking for a while, Han Du said: "I have something that I want to give to the emperor."
"Oh? What is it?" Although Lao Zhu was eager to know how Han Du got the news about the fishery in Changguo County, but since Han Du said he wanted to present the treasure, Lao Zhu was curious and wanted to take a look first.
What did Han Du offer?
"Your Majesty, please wait for a moment."
Han Du turned around and left, entered his room, dragged out a large box and opened it. He picked up the top letter, sighed, and then threw it aside.
He closed the wooden box, hugged it, and headed towards Lao Zhu and others.
Seeing Han Du coming in with a wooden box, Lao Zhu couldn't help but jokingly asked: "What is this? Since you want to dedicate it to me, what kind of treasure is it?"
Han Du smiled awkwardly and said: "This thing was originally kept by Wei Chen to protect his family when he was about to run away. But wasn't it later caught by the emperor, so there was no need to leave it idle."
"Hahaha," Lao Zhu looked up to the sky and laughed. Speaking of the last time Han Du wanted to escape with An Qing, Lao Zhu felt very proud now. Being able to intercept Han Du when he had a well-planned plan, Lao Zhu
Zhu is also very proud of himself.
"Open it and let me see what it is so that you have confidence that I can bypass your house."
It was already in the past, and Han Du didn't want to mention it again.
He looked at Tang He and said, "Can you please help Duke Xin?"
Tang He stepped forward with a smile and helped Han Du take out the things and open them.
A huge brocade map appeared before everyone's eyes.
"A complete picture of all the kingdoms in the world!"
Lao Zhu couldn't help but read out the big characters above. As the map unfolded, the look of surprise on his face became more intense.
"Is this the Ming Dynasty?" Lao Zhu pointed at the bright yellow patch on the map and asked, "The Ming Dynasty is just this big? Then where are the other places?"
He asked three questions in a row, with dissatisfaction in his tone, which showed Lao Zhu's eagerness.
"The Emperor's Mingjian, this is a picture that Wei Chen has consulted a large number of books, as well as many overseas translations, and compared them one by one. It should be roughly true." The main basis is the image in Han Du's mind. As for what books he consulted
, just to give Lao Zhu a justifiable excuse.
"The Ming Dynasty has one capital and fourteen provinces, covering an area of thousands of miles. Compared with the whole world, it is indeed only this big."
While listening to Han Du's explanation, Lao Zhu kept looking at the map. When he saw the Yellow River and the Yangtze River and their twists and turns, he knew in his heart that the map should be real.
"You're not mistaken, are you? The great Ming Dynasty has a territory of thousands of miles, but it is so big?" Tang He also couldn't believe it.
Han Du explained: "In this picture, the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are quite big. Sir, look at Korea, Siam, and Ryukyu. They are not even as big as a palm."
Tang He took a look and found that these small countries were really not as big as a palm. He was immediately stunned. Judging from this map, although the Ming Dynasty was vast, it only occupied less than 11% of its size. There were other such
Big places are all land?
"Did you know that Changguo County is a natural fishing ground by consulting books when you were drawing the picture?" Lao Zhu asked affirmatively.
Han Du nodded, "Yes."
Although Han Du learned the truth through the Internet, who made Lao Zhu the emperor? He said that he knew it when he checked the books, so he knew it when he checked the books. Anyway, it would not hurt him to admit it.
It saves myself all the trouble of explanation.
"What else did you find?" Lao Zhu couldn't help but ask.
Han Du thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and explained: "Since the emperor is interested in listening, then I will explain it carefully."
After finishing speaking, he pointed to the map and said: "Although the world is big, the sea is actually bigger. These blue places are all seas. Generally speaking, they are several times bigger than the earth."
"And some of these lands are unclaimed. For example, here," Han Du pointed to the land in Australia, "surrounded by the sea, the area is larger than that of the Ming Dynasty, and it is rich in various products.
Half of this place is rich, and half of it is barren. The rich places have many kinds of wild animals, and all kinds of magical fruits can only fall down and rot. The barren places are very rich in minerals, including gold, silver, copper and iron.
Not included, and the reserves of each item exceed those of the Ming Dynasty."
"It can be said that people living here don't have to work hard to farm at all. They just go out to hunt game and pick a few fruits, and they can live a comfortable life."
"Is there such a place in this world?" Lao Zhu was stunned by what Han Du said.
What is the concept of being able to have enough food and clothing easily without working hard?
