Seeing that Wang Zi'an had not started writing yet, Li Shimin, who was stretching the paper carefully with his butt raised, turned to Wang Zi'an in confusion.
"Ahem - I'm afraid this one is useless - it's too small to draw -"
Wang Zi'an roughly measured it with his hands and shook his head helplessly.
"It's okay, it's okay, let's change to a bigger one -"
When he heard that this was the reason, Li Shimin immediately beamed.
Of course, the bigger the map, the clearer it is, and the bigger it is, the better it is to use.
Wang Zi’an:……
Of course you're fine, it's not you who painted it!
"Change to larger paper - this one is considered useless..."
Wang Zi'an said, casually pulling out the piece he had just drawn, and balling up his hands, making a habitual one-handed shooting motion. As a result, before the ball of paper fell into the wastebasket, Fang Xuanling jumped at him with a lunge.
It was firmly in hand.
"Don't throw it away, don't throw it away - well, I'm mainly afraid of waste. I've done this painting anyway, just in case it's useful..."
Wang Zi’an:……
It's just a piece of waste paper. How guilty are you? I have nothing to say to you.
Then, he saw Li Shimin happily rushing under his desk, pulling out the largest piece of rice paper, and threw it on the table with a smile on his face.
The paper is relatively large, about the same size as the red paper sold in the market in later generations. When spread out, it fills a large table.
Wang Zi’an:……
This dog emperor wants to take advantage of me again!
This piece of paper is enough to draw a map of the world, let alone the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and Li Junxian took a look, and quickly took the opportunity to surround them, with one person helping to hold the other side. It is rare to see someone drawing a territory map on the spot. Wouldn't it be a pity not to witness it with your own eyes?
Seeing that Wei Zheng was old enough, he rushed over to stretch out the paper, and was waiting there with his back bent and his butt sticking out. Wang Zi'an was almost embarrassed.
This kind of map drawing cannot be completed in a short time. Wei Zheng is already so old, so it is not easy to do this.
"Forget it, I'll hold it down with a paperweight. It's too hard for you guys -"
Wang Zi'an gave a kind reminder.
Upon hearing this, Wei Zheng immediately stopped buying it.
"Mapping is a national matter, how can we ignore it? If unnecessary errors occur because the paper is not stretched properly, wouldn't I become a sinner? Ahem, I am mainly worried about delaying my employer's business...
"
Wang Zi’an:……
Ah, this——
You never forget your own persona!
Okay, if you are willing to stretch, just stretch it. When you feel tired, you can count on it.
Although the paper was large, Wang Zi'an was not prepared to draw too detailed a picture for him, so he simply sketched the distribution map of the main mountains, rivers, and rivers based on the maps of later generations.
Thinking that since the Lingnan area has been drawn, I just added a few strokes and drew Southeast Asia, Tianzhu, Dashi and other surrounding areas together. Remember, if you open up the Silk Road in the future, it will be your own help.
Gee, I feel an inexplicable pleasure in participating in history and creating history.
"There is such a vast land to the west——"
Li Shimin couldn't help but his eyes flickered. If Zian's painting was not bad, the land outside would be even wider than the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
"Look at what you said, how rare it is - it is not only large in area, but also has fertile land, numerous rivers, and rich products. Do you think the Tang Dynasty is the only place in the world -"
"You mean, there is still a lot of fertile land to the west of the Western Regions and Tianzhu?"
Staring at the map, Li Shimin was thoughtful.
"It's not just the west side——"
Looking at the big guys like Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin, each of them was inexplicably shocked and looked like they had no eyes. Wang Zi'an couldn't help but feel funny in his heart. He simply added a few more strokes in a wicked way, and simply painted a simple world for him.
map.
"Have you seen, from the Tang Dynasty, all the way east, across the ocean, passing 28,000 miles, there is an extremely vast continent. I call it North and South America. This is definitely a treasure land.
…”
Before everyone could recover from the shock caused by the world map that Wang Zi'an suddenly displayed, they heard Wang Zi'an's sudden words and then added something.
"By the way, the potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and other high-yielding crops I just told you are produced here - unfortunately, the distance is far away. With your current conditions, you simply can't get through it. Otherwise, if you are so afraid of getting one of them, it will be enough to completely solve the big problem.
Tang's food shortage problem..."
Thinking of this, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Suddenly, I miss the vinegar-filled shredded potatoes, pine nuts and corn, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and the sweet and delicious roasted sweet potatoes...
I'm greedy.
"Zian, what kind of potatoes are you talking about? Are the sweet potatoes and corn yields really high?"
Wei Zheng looked at Wang Zi'an with some excitement. Looking at his posture, it was as if he could fly over and bring the seeds back if he told him.
"That's for sure. At least it's much higher than the Champa rice I just mentioned. Not to mention potatoes and sweet potatoes, just corn, which has the lowest yield, weighs thousands of kilograms per acre of land.
——That’s about ten stones…”
Gudong——
Wang Zi'an heard the sound of swallowing.
Everyone looked at him, trying to get a joking look out of his face.
"Ten stones! Still the lowest?"
Li Shimin couldn't help but take a deep breath and suppress the shock in his heart.
"According to what you said, wouldn't potatoes and sweet potatoes cost more than ten kilo?"
"More than ten dan? Are you kidding me? Sweet potatoes have to yield 20 to 30 dan per mu. For potatoes, it's even higher. If you plant them well, there should be no problem with 30 to 40 dan..."
Wang Zi'an glanced at him sideways.
This is so ignorant. If the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes could only be 1,000 pounds per acre, everyone would stop crying.
Dozens of stones!
Everyone was shocked and a little confused by this number!
"The more you talk about it, the more ridiculous it becomes. You can keep boasting - the place you mentioned may not even exist. How do you know about a place two to thirty thousand miles away? Is it possible that you can still face Cangwu and see Beihai?
——Fly directly there and take a trip?”
While everyone was still swaying over the scene described by Wang Zi'an, Changsun Wuji glanced at Wang Zi'an with a sneer.
Although he was a little wary of the forces behind Wang Zi'an, he was not willing to let go of this opportunity to put eye drops on the prince.
How dare you use such an invisible and intangible thing to tease everyone, you really think everyone is a fool!
As soon as Changsun Wuji said this, several other people could not help but wake up from the scene described by Wang Zi'an.
"It would be great if the crops you mentioned really existed in the world. How could the people in this world suffer from hunger..."
Li Shimin smiled bitterly and shook his head at Wang Zi'an.
Although he didn't say that Wang Zi'an was talking nonsense, he obviously thought that Wang Zi'an was having fun with them again.
Wang Zi'an looked at Changsun Wuji, who was secretly poking him, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, revealing a hint of a meaningful smile.
"I'm not joking--"
Having said this, Wang Zi'an drew a line on the map with his hand and pressed his finger on the Bering Strait.
"You can reach this place by going north from the Tang Dynasty and crossing the extremely cold land. You can see that there is only a strait dozens of miles wide between here and North America. If the weather is fine, you can see the mountains on the opposite side.
If it’s winter…”
Having said this, Wang Zi'an raised his head and looked at Changsun Wuji.
"If it's winter, this strait might freeze. If you're lucky, you can cross it directly from here - What do you think, Changsun, do you want to take someone to try it yourself? - If you can help Datang
By retrieving the grain, you will have done a great service, and you may even be able to make your wife your wife and honor your ancestors..."
I can go to your wife, Yinzi, Guangzong Yaozu!
You piece of shit, you are obviously waiting for an opportunity to retaliate and want to trick me to death!
Although Changsun Wuji cursed in his heart, he straightened his back and showed a look of awe on his face.
"If what you said is correct, why do I regret this life? Although I am old, even if my body is broken into pieces and I die, I am still willing to retrieve grain for the court, your majesty, and the people of the world——"
Looking at Li Shimin who was slightly moved by Changsun Wuji's words.
Wang Zi’an:……
Damn it, you old silver coin, you can still take the opportunity to gain favorability here!
"Well said, it's really touching and admirable - but, eldest grandson, if you go, you are indeed a bit too old, but you can give this opportunity to the younger generation in your family - what a great opportunity,
Maybe I can get a title for your son..."
Changsun Wuji:......
Wang Zi'an's words almost caused him to vomit blood.
Especially when he saw that Li Shimin was really thoughtful, he became even more panicked.
Even if there are so-called high-yield crops in that place, just listening to it will tell you how dangerous and difficult it is to go there. I am afraid it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a narrow escape.
This bitch has such vicious intentions!
"Zian, I don't know which crops you are talking about and what they look like..."
Seeing Li Shimin keep looking towards the direction of the Bering Strait, Wang Zi'an knew that Li Shimin was really tempted.
After thinking for a while, I pulled out a piece of rice paper and quickly drew a few sketches.
"That's it - if you want to send someone to try it, you might as well use it as a reference..."
Li Shimin took it and kept it in his arms with great care.
"I will definitely tell Your Majesty that if we can find crops here, I will definitely not forget your contribution!"
Li Shimin nodded to Wang Zi'an seriously.
"Ah - that's okay. I will have several sons by then. Remember to ask the emperor to give each of them a title..."
Wang Zi'an laughed jokingly.
He didn't take it seriously either.
Are you kidding me, crossing the Bering Strait?
It would be weird if he didn’t freeze to death on the way!
Even if you can't freeze to death, you still have to cool down if you encounter a polar bear or something.
Although the map was very simple, it was an eye-opener for Li Shimin and others. Although they didn't know whether the Africa, America, Antarctica and Australia that Wang Zi'an mentioned existed, they could see that these places existed.
The map does not seem to be fake.
Especially for the mountains and rivers in the Tang Dynasty, except for a few slight errors in the places where the rivers flow, there is basically no big difference. This cannot be a temporary fabrication.
Those crops are also lifelike, with branches, leaves and fruits as if they are before your eyes.
If you have never seen it before, it is impossible to draw it like this!
Therefore, what he said is true, and he has seen it and even eaten it!
At the thought of this possibility, everyone suddenly took a breath of cold air.
The two places are separated by tens of thousands of miles of sea. How did he get there?
Is it possible that he is really a disciple of the immortal?
Traveling 80,000 miles in one night and day?
Thinking of Wang Zi'an's endless tricks, the treasures all over the yard, and his unusual attitude towards fame and wealth, everyone seemed to understand something.
Everyone, including Changsun Wuji, couldn't help but be shaken, so much so that they even ignored the brand-new painting method revealed by Wang Zi An.
However, everyone tacitly agreed not to ask further questions.
No one asked stupidly, since you know and have seen it, why don't you bring it to Datang?
The theory of immortality always awes people inexplicably.
Wang Zi'an didn't know that his casual and mischievous actions would actually bring about such consequences.
"Hey - what does this smell like? It smells so good!"
Fang Xuanling, who was holding the map and was shocked that the world was so big, suddenly twitched his nose, raised his head in confusion, looked around and asked.
"Nonsense, of course it smells like meat!"
Cheng Yaojin glanced at Fang Xuanling with disdain, this ignorant bumpkin, and then couldn't help but turned around excitedly, subconsciously twitching his Adam's apple.
"How's it going, Zian, has the stew been cooked...",
Wang Zi'an's nose twitched slightly, and he immediately stood up with a smile.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Sure enough, the stew is ready - someone come over and help -"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yaojin and Li Shimin immediately became energetic.
"I'll come, I'll come -"
I saw two people who were familiar with each other and rushed out.
The few remaining people couldn't help but look at each other, then silently twitched their Adam's apples, and followed out involuntarily.
The smell is so delicious.
The mellow and long-lasting flavor is like holding a small hook, hooking and hooking in your heart, making people unable to help but speed up their saliva secretion, and they want to rush in and have a good meal.
Looking at the hopeless look of this group of people, Changsun Wuji secretly despised them.
"It's so polite! What does this look like? It's just a few pieces of meat, as if no one has ever eaten it-"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and couldn't help but glance outside the door again.
Haha - it's impossible to go, we can't afford to lose that person!
The venison and mutton were almost ready, and the strange aroma mixed together, causing several people who had obviously been eating for a while to gather around them.
"But based on the smell, I think this trip is worth it——"
Wei Zheng touched his belly with emotion.
"Now think about it, I have lived for so many years, and I have only lived here in Zian for two days that a person should live..."
Fang Xuanling:......
Xuancheng, you are exaggerating. You suddenly acted so seriously like a dog licker, which makes me a little uncomfortable.
As a result, he glanced at his majesty and Cheng Yaojin. Li Junxian and others were dumbfounded. They found that not only did they not look teasing, but they nodded in agreement, and they were stunned.
"It's better to use bowls, it will save trouble - well, who - that old man, help me get a few bowls..."
While Wang Zi'an was checking how the meat was stewing in the two pots, he greeted Fang Xuanling who was standing next to the cupboard.
"okay--"
Turning around, he opened the cupboard door, and then he was stunned——
Liuli!
A cupboard of glassware was piled up randomly and chaotically in the kitchen cupboard.
When she thought of the glass cup that she treasured so much and would take out to play with it every time she had time, Fang Xuanling felt like a big joke, and she felt bad all over.
