"Yes, this is the Great Lakes." Zhu Zhanji became more excited when he saw the three of them, which meant that the possibility of the three of them being fooled by him was higher.
"I heard that the Five Great Lakes are larger than any other lake in the Ming Dynasty. Is this true?" Lu Wansheng asked impatiently.
Zhu Zhanji smiled and nodded under the gaze of everyone, and explained: "That's true. Not only that, but the five great lakes are also clustered together, and the distance between them is not too far. The Xinming Imperial Capital is surrounded by four of them. Surrounded by a large lake, the water source is abundant and the fertile fields are thousands of miles away, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack." Zhu Zhanji reached out to dip his hand in water and roughly drew the locations of the five great lakes on the stone table.
The three of them looked over impatiently, and after a moment they all gasped. If not for anything else, just because this location is so advantageous.
Liu Ziyong shook his head with emotion and said in wonder: "This place reminds me of the eight-hundred-mile Guanzhong Plain, which was acquired by the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and laid the foundation of the Han Dynasty's four-hundred-year emperorship."
"No!" Tang Maolin corrected,
"This is better than the eight-hundred-mile Guanzhong. The Guanzhong Plain does not have such vast fertile fields and the Great Lakes with rich water resources." Needless to say, Lu Wansheng said, his eyes never left the table from the beginning, and he was full of admiration. : "Such a land of abundant resources and natural treasures is truly unparalleled in the world!" Zhu Zhanji looked at the three people with a hidden smile. What he said was true. With the superiority of America, he was not afraid of not being able to attract these people. Don't even bother exaggerating.
...After Yu Qian received the teacher's order, he inquired about Zhu Zhanji's whereabouts. However, the academy was so huge, and Zhu Zhanji deliberately dressed like a student, it was not noticeable at all.
Yu Qian asked several students one after another, and they all said they had not noticed it. It was difficult to make a big deal about this matter and tell other classmates to help him search for it. In desperation, Yu Qian had no choice but to wander around the school alone, hoping to be lucky enough to meet Zhu Zhanji.
Unfortunately, luck didn't seem to be on his side. After searching for a long time under the scorching sun, he found sweat on his forehead and the tip of his nose, and there was no trace of Zhu Zhanji.
Just as Yu Qian was standing under the shade of a tree, wiping his sweat and thinking of a solution, a tall student ran over in small steps.
He came to stand in front of Yu Qian and said breathlessly: "Senior Brother Yu..." Yu Qian looked at him with a grin, recognizing that this person was one of the people he had asked about.
"Senior Brother Yu, there is a person in the pavilion over there who looks very strange. Do you want to go and see if he is the person you are looking for?" Yu Qian stopped wiping his sweat and quickly grabbed the person's arm and asked eagerly: " Where are the people?”
"It's in the pavilion over there." The man pointed in the direction he had just run to.
"I saw that Senior Brother Lu Wansheng was also there."
"Thank you." Yu Qian cupped his hands slightly and ran towards the direction pointed out by the man without looking back. After walking through a long tree-lined path, as soon as Yu Qian walked out, he saw a person facing him in a pavilion not far away, it was Zhu Zhanji.
"Huh~" Yu Qian let out a long breath and walked over. When he came outside the pavilion, he heard Lu Wansheng and others exclaiming about the superior geographical location of the Great Lakes.
"Yu Qian pays homage to His Highness." Yu Qian stood on the steps and bowed his hands. The sound was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears very clearly.
Zhu Zhanji looked back and was a little curious about the man who suddenly stood outside the pavilion and bowed his hand politely to him. He smiled, nodded, and stretched out his hand to signal: "Excuse me, who is this brother?" Without waiting for Zhu Zhanji to be confused, the moment Lu Wansheng and the others saw Yu Qian, they immediately stood up to pay their respects: "Senior Brother Yu." After hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, Yu Qian straightened up, and then his eyes fell on Lu Wansheng and others. He paused for a breath, then stretched out his hand to signal: "You three don't have to be polite." Yu Qian entered the academy earlier than the three of them, and there was no problem in calling them senior brothers.
Moreover, Yu Qian was excellent both in character and academics, and he was also a role model for many students in the academy, so he was naturally highly respected by the students in the academy.
"Thank you, senior brother." Lu Wansheng and the others quickly returned the gift. Seeing that Zhu Zhanji didn't know Yu Qian, Lu Wansheng smiled and introduced him kindly: "Your Highness, this is Yu Qian's senior brother, and he is also the veritable number one talent in the academy." Upon hearing this, Yu Qian quickly waved his hand to stop Lu Wansheng and explained. He said: "What is number one? Don't talk nonsense. There are tens of thousands of students in the academy, who can dare to say that he is number one?" Yu Qian's words are indeed modest, but at the same time it also shows that although he is not number one, there is no one. Qualified to be number one in the academy.
Zhu Zhanji had an inexplicable feeling of closeness to Yu Qian when he first saw him. Now that he heard Lu Wansheng's introduction, he paid more attention to Qian.
"Brother Yu, I don't know if you believe it or not, but when I saw you, I felt like an old friend at first sight." Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhu Zhanji who was speechless for a while and did not answer in time.
Because he also felt this way in his heart, this feeling came very suddenly, like a sudden impulse.
It was obviously the first time for the two of them to meet. They had never seen each other before and had no interaction with each other. How could they feel like meeting old friends?
When he came back to his senses that day, he saw Lu Wansheng and three others looking at him in surprise. Yu Qian quickly concealed it: "His Royal Highness has just arrived in Ming Dynasty from America. We should have never met him." Zhu Zhanji also knew that it was impossible to meet Yu Qian, but his inner feelings were very clear and vague. He said: "Maybe this is a wonderful fate, maybe we are really destined." Yu Qian frowned slightly when he heard this. He was ordered by the teacher to keep an eye on Zhu Zhanji.
Now Zhu Zhanji talked about fate with him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. He felt that Zhu Zhanji was like a liar who talked freely and wanted to get close to everyone he saw.
Lu Wansheng also saw that Zhu Zhanji's attitude towards Qian was indeed different from before. He smiled and joked: "Perhaps Senior Brother Yu and His Highness have really been close friends for a long time?" Yu Qian saw that Lu Wansheng's words were obviously biased. Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but be wary of Zhu Zhanji.
It's amazing. It didn't take long for Zhu Zhanji to gain the trust of Lu Wansheng and others. Even when facing yourself, would you still choose to favor him?
Yu Qian looked at Zhu Zhanji seriously, wanting to see clearly what kind of magic power he had, and how he was able to gain the trust of Lu Wansheng and others in such a short period of time.
You must know that Lu Wansheng and others are also outstanding among the academy students, but they are not the top ones.
It is not easy to gain their trust. This also shows from the side that Zhu Zhanji's methods are extraordinary.
