Liu Jin looked at the pride overflowing on the faces of everyone around him. Although this kind of pride seemed to Liu Jin to be a bit like looking at the sky from a well, but thinking about later generations, China has suffered a hundred years of humiliation. The once proud backbone
They were almost interrupted, so that there are too many, too many people who worship foreign things, have low self-esteem, and are ashamed of themselves.
Such a strong sense of pride and self-confidence was hard to see in one's own era, but in this era, everyone's face is filled with this look, "I am the best, I am the best in the world"
One, I, Daming, am the best in the world.
"Maybe I should do something after traveling through time."
Thinking of this, Liu Jin couldn't help but think this way in his mind.
"What? You can't speak out, can you?"
Lin Shuhong looked at Liu Jin who was slightly dazed, couldn't help but smile and said again.
"Yeah, I definitely can't tell."
The other diners also laughed, preparing to see Liu Jin's joke and see how Liu Jin would answer.
"After all, it's just a little bit of cleverness that won't make a big difference."
The extraordinary middle-aged man looked at Liu Jin with a trace of disappointment in his eyes. He originally thought that this young man might have some special insights, but now it seems that he is just being clever.
"Who says I don't know."
When Liu Jin came back to his senses, he immediately replied.
"Staff, please go buy a piece of white cloth and prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
Then Liu Jin took out a tael of silver from his hand and gave instructions to the waiter who was watching the excitement.
"Okay, please wait a moment, sir. I'll be back soon."
The waiter took the money, worked very neatly, and went straight downstairs.
At this time, more and more spectators gathered in the entire Wangyue Tower. Everyone heard that several scholars were competing upstairs. It was very exciting. Watching the excitement was never too much, even the shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower.
He entertained the guests with a smile and waited for the next step.
Hearing Liu Jin's answer, everyone who originally wanted to watch the joke waited patiently. Some people had already finished eating and had a good show to watch, so they ordered a few more side dishes and a pot of good tea.
Have some wine and continue to wait slowly.
"I just want to see what he can say."
The disappointed middle-aged man was about to leave. There were so many people here, it was always crowded and crowded, but after hearing Liu Jin's words, he returned to his table and waited patiently.
As for the young man next to him, he showed a strong interest. He seemed to want to know the situation west of the Western Regions, Tatar, north of Oara, south of Annan-Siam, and east of Korea and Japan. However, his teacher had this knowledge.
Never taught.
Everyone didn't wait too long. The waiter was very efficient and came up quickly with a piece of white cloth, pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
"It's time to work."
Liu Jin directly spread out the white cloth, picked up the brush and began to draw on the white cloth. Everyone in the audience was very curious, and some even stood on tiptoe to see what Liu Jin was drawing.
"Huzi, hang it up."
Soon, Liu Jin put down the brush in his hand and gave instructions to Zhao Erhu.
"Hmm~"
When Zhao Erhu heard this, he picked up the white cloth and hung it on a pillar. Suddenly everyone saw what Liu Jin had drawn on the white cloth. It was a map worthy of the map.
"Everyone, please see, this is our Ming Dynasty, this is the Yellow River, this is the Yangtze River, Beijing is here, Nanjing is here, to the north are Tatar and Oara, to the east are Korea and Japan, and the sea, and to the south are the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Annan Siam, to the west is the Western Region."
Liu Jin looked at the map and pointed out several important points one by one very simply.
"This map is quite well drawn and quite accurate."
The middle-aged man looked carefully at the map of Kanyu drawn by Liu Jin, nodded and thought.
"Yes, Brother Liu's Kanyu drawings are very accurate. They are not much different from those I have seen."
Lin Shuhong looked at it carefully and nodded.
"Okay, let me answer the question just now."
"There is a North Sea (that is, Lake Baikal) in the Tatar and Oara areas. I think everyone should know that Su Wu Shepherd went to the North Sea during the Han Dynasty."
"But the North Sea is not actually a sea. It is just a lake. To the north of the North Sea is a very vast plain. We can call it the Siberian Plain. The climate here is very cold. More than half of the year is covered in ice and snow.
Spend it in.”
"This place is desolate and the population is very sparse. Only a very small number of cold-resistant races can survive here. They are the Tungus people. The Tungus people do not grow food. They make a living by hunting. They do not have their own writing or civilization."
"Although the weather here is too cold to grow crops, it is extremely rich in resources. It has a large number of gold mines, silver mines, copper mines, iron mines, and a variety of precious animal skins. You can easily find them here.
Our Ming Dynasty is worth hundreds or even thousands of silver."
While Liu Jin was talking, he was writing and drawing on the white cloth with a brush, explaining in detail the situation in the Siberian Plain.
"Let's talk about the east. We all know a little about Korea and Japan. These two countries are our vassals. Let me talk about Japan. Japan and Korea are separated by the Korean Strait. Although Japan is an island country with many islands, it is prone to earthquakes and typhoons.
many."
"In everyone's impression, the Japanese country is also a barbaric and barren land, very barren and poor. But in fact, the Japanese country is very rich in resources. Let's not talk about anything else. There is a place called Ishimi in the Japanese country. There are
A stone-like silver mine, this silver mine may contain more than one hundred million taels of silver, and it is extremely easy to mine."
Liu Jin continued to write and draw on the white cloth. When he mentioned that the Shijian Silver Mine of Japan contained hundreds of millions of silver, everyone present couldn't help but take a breath, and then widened their eyes.
I can’t believe what Liu Jin said.
"This is impossible. How can there be so much silver in the world? Hundreds of millions of taels of silver. Our Ming Dynasty combined doesn't even have that much silver."
Some people immediately shook their heads and said, feeling that Liu Jin was bragging and talking nonsense.
"Yes, how can a silver mine contain hundreds of millions of taels of silver? Then the Japanese pirates are already rich, so why bother bothering our Ming Dynasty again?"
Someone echoed and said.
"A hundred million taels of silver? Is there really such a place in Japan?"
When the middle-aged man heard this, his eyes were also wide open with an expression of disbelief. He looked at the beardless middle-aged man behind him, who also had an expression of disbelief. Obviously, he didn't know about this.
