The emperor sat in his seat with a golden sword and was thinking about this novel vocabulary.
"Jia Xiaosan, tell me, what is an empire on which the sun never sets?"
Well……
Jia Cong suddenly felt as if he had dug a hole and buried himself in it. He scratched his head and hesitated: "This... that... Your Majesty... I think... uh..."
Um?
Liu Heng looked at the hesitating little fat man curiously. This kid was not someone who could hide his words.
"Just say what you have to say. It's not your character to be hesitant."
"That's what I said..."
Jia Cong twirled his fingers, glanced at the emperor secretly, and murmured: "Actually, the earth under our feet is round!"
"Well, what then?"
What Jia Cong didn't expect was that the two people in the room would not be disturbed at all by his shocking remarks.
He widened his eyes and said, "I mean, the earth under our feet is round!"
Liu Heng also felt baffled at this moment. The earth is round. Is this worth repeating?
"I know, what next?"
Jia Cong was stunned. He asked in confusion: "Your Majesty knows? How is this possible?"
"The Notes on the Armillary Sphere records that the cloudy sky is like a hen's egg, and the earth is like the yolk of an egg, living alone inside. The sky is big and the earth is small. Zengzi also asked, if the sky is round and the ground is round, then the four corners are not covered."
Liu Hong threw out several supporting evidences about the theory of the round earth, and asked doubtfully: "The "New Book of Gexiang" written by Zhao Youqin of the previous dynasty said: Although the earth is round, it cannot be seen for hundreds of miles or tens of miles, and the human eye cannot see it. You can't go around in a straight line. Try boating in the rivers and lakes, but you will see bulges wherever the boat goes, and you can't see the head when the water comes, and you can't see the tail when the water goes away. The Dongting is so wide that the sun and moon appear and disappear in it, and the distant mountains are all around it. It is bent downward and is not an obstacle. Measuring the height of the North Pole as it rises from the earth, as well as the morning and evening of the lunar eclipse in the east and west, all are evidence that the earth is round and its dimensions correspond to those of heaven."
The scumbag turned into Xue Mo under the repeated blows from the top student, and the top student accidentally broke Xue Mo's heart again.
Liu Hong's eyes were full of confusion: "The earth is round, it has been known since ancient times, why is Brother Cong making such a fuss?"
It sounded so powerful, but the fat little black guy could only understand a little bit. Jia Cong felt that there was a big question mark on his forehead, so he asked shamelessly: "Fourth brother, I don't understand, what are you talking about?"
"Without knowledge and skills, Jia Enhou really doesn't know how to teach children!"
The emperor first despised Mr. Pardon's education level, and then briefly explained to Jia Cong the ancient theory of a round earth.
Jia Cong was in tears after taking a class on astronomy and geography. He originally thought that he would be tied to the stake and burned to death for telling him that the earth was round. After all, he was an ignorant scumbag... No, he was a scumbag. Xue Mo.
"Now you can tell me what it means to be an empire on which the sun never sets."
The shocked Jia Cong regained his energy, pointed to the sea map on the ground, circled pieces of fertile land, and said impassionedly: "Your Majesty, this is Tianzhu, this is Persia, this is Europe, this is the Cape of Good Hope, and this is America. …These places should all belong to Daxia, to you. There is no royal land in the world, and your majesty should take all these fertile lands into your pocket."
General Jia Cong clenched his fist and circled around the sea chart: "Your Majesty, your fist is like the sun. No matter when and where the sun is, there will always be a territory of the celestial dynasty with the sun shining in the sky. This is what I said. The empire on which the sun never sets!"
"The Empire on which the Sun Never Sets... is interesting!"
Liu Heng got up and came to the chart, carefully looking at the places marked by Jia Cong. He pointed to the circles marking America and asked, "Is this the place where you said there are potatoes and corn?"
"Uh-huh……"
Jia Cong nodded repeatedly and swallowed: "Not only are there enough seeds to solve the famine, but there is also vast and fertile land and a lot of gold. Even if it is far away, our navy cannot go there to expand territory. .”
"It doesn't matter. If I can't do it, there will still be Hong'er. If Hong'er can't do it, there will still be future generations!"
Liu Heng was an extremely pragmatic emperor who set his sights again on
They were placed in Japan and the West. Japan had silver mines, and the West had strange seeds...
After Daxia's navy has accumulated enough strength, I will compete with those Westerners who are said to be circling the earth.
"Hong'er, at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, the brothers of those martial nobles will be left to you. Even if they are tied up, they will be tied up on your boat!"
Jia Cong was followed by two young eunuchs, who walked out of the palace cursing and crying without tears.
Jia Shiyi, who was guarding outside the palace, came up to him and looked at the little eunuch with doubts, holding a bunch of things, which seemed to be books and other things.
"Third Master, what's going on?"
Jia Cong almost burst into tears. He said full of resentment: "I just said that the earth is round, so I was beaten up and given homework. Tell me, am I wronged?" ?」
"Hey, isn't this Jia Xiaosan? I heard that you were beaten up by the fourth brother again?"
Jia Shiyi had already seen the person coming clearly and bowed with clasped fists: "Greetings to Prince Zhongshun!"
The two young eunuchs immediately turned pale and bowed tremblingly: "I pay my respects to the Thirteenth Master."
Jia Cong turned around and saw that it was Prince Zhongshun Liu Ke who had finally returned to the capital and walked out of the palace gate.
I saw Liu Ke happily walking up to Jia Cong, rubbing Jia Cong's round head, looking at the things in the hands of the two young eunuchs, and winking at Jia Cong: "I heard from Hong'er that you didn't even read "The Armillary Sphere Notes" and You can’t even understand "The New Book of Gexiang"? Aren’t you going to take the test of Hwarang? I would say you should just follow this king as a lackey, studying is not for you!"
How wonderful it is to be a hawk and a lackey, what a disgusting and shocking temptation...
snort!
"No, I am the man who wants to be the King of the Sea. Master Thirteen, you can't seduce me!"
Jia Cong's words were precise, but he saw Liu Ke waving to the waiting palace servants. Immediately, there was a chamberlain holding a white cat. One eye was as yellow as glass, and the other was as blue as sapphire. It was really beautiful.
"Because of me, your little wife was frightened before. This cat lunch is an apology. You can give it to her on my behalf."
Liu Ke was actually a little embarrassed. He grabbed the kitten's neck from the hand of the chamberlain, ignored its small claws, and stuffed it into the arms of the bewildered Jia Cong.
The kitten meowed twice, stepped on Jia Cong's arms, found a comfortable position, and hid itself.
Liu Ke patted Jia Cong, who was still dazed: "This cat has been seen by Yu Chenglang, who is good at playing with bugs from the Tai Hospital. After giving it medicine, it will not make people contract canine phobia. You can Don’t worry. Do you have a cat owner at home? If not, I will go back and pick a few for you to send over..."
Good guy, he is indeed the biggest dandy of this dynasty. Not only did he give me a cat, but he was so bold that he wanted to give him a few more cat owners.
However, this dandy prince was also careful, and even took appropriate measures to prevent people from being infected with rabies.
He quickly replied: "No, no, the Thirteenth Master gave me this little raccoon slave. It is already an excellent gift. How can I be greedy for the cat-raising experts in your house? I also have people who are proficient in cat-raising in my family."
"Okay, I'll give it to you as an apology. If my princess celebrates her birthday another day, you can bring your little wife to the house to play..."
Liu Ke seemed to have solved a problem on his mind, and he felt much lighter.
He waved his hand and was about to leave. Before leaving, he warned: "By the way, go back and tell your father that I have returned to Beijing. See you at the same place tonight at Xu Shi!"
Without waiting for Jia Cong to respond, Liu Ke strode to the palace's carriage and boarded the carriage in a single hop.
Jia Cong looked at the royal carriage that was slowly leaving, and then at the little raccoon slave in his arms, with a confused look on his face.
"Meow~"
This cat was not afraid of strangers. After raising its head, it looked at Jia Cong with a pair of mandarin duck eyes, and meowed as if waiting for Jia Cong's response.
"Meow!"
Well, they are the same kind.
The kitten settled in Jia Cong's arms, changed its position, closed its eyes and snored. It wasn't until Jia Cong returned to Rongguo Mansion that he opened his eyes and looked at his new territory with novelty.
"Yeah, Cat!"
The Pardon Master had not returned from the Forbidden Army Camp yet, so Jia Cong carried the cat all the way to the Hall of Rongxi.
Because Wang Xifeng went to Jiangnan, the girls in the mansion were either learning housekeeping from the old lady, or they were busy preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Only Xiao Xichun, accompanied by the maid, squatted in the small garden and stared at the ants playing at the roots of the tree.
After hearing the footsteps approaching from far away, I turned around and looked...
Long time no see, third brother has a cat on his body!
She stood up happily and ran to Jia Cong, standing on tiptoes to look at the meowing little raccoon slave, showing a pair of small tiger teeth, and reached out to touch the fluffy cat.
Jia Cong brought Xichun to the small pavilion and put the cat on the table. Xichun immediately lay down on the table, touched the little raccoon slave's head with his little hand, and then chuckled.
Xichun, who had petted big cats before, was not afraid of the little one at all. He actually picked up the kitten and looked around.
"Hey, third brother, this kitten is different from the big meow!"
Jia Cong took the tea from the maid and quenched his thirst before explaining to Xichun the difference between tigers and cats.
Not long after, the girls who got the news came over one after another, chattering around the kitten on the table.
"Sister Lin, this is an apology from Prince Zhongshun. He said that when he was in Jiangnan, you were put in danger because of him..."
Jia Cong told the story of meeting Liu Ke in front of the palace gate, and Daiyu couldn't laugh or cry either. Prince Zhongshun is really an interesting person, he actually apologized to a little girl.
She teased the kitten that was chasing Xichun's handkerchief, and said with a smile: "This cat is really beautiful. I wanted to raise one before, but unfortunately I never found the right one..."
Yingchun also said: "I won't raise him anymore. Raising Brother Cong, a fat cat, has already given me a headache in the past few years."
"Second sister, I am so easy to support..."
Jia Cong muttered something, but saw Yingchun touching Jia Cong's head and asked with a smile: "Really? Mud monkey!"
Ahem...
I finally regained my childhood, but you still didn't allow me to enjoy the joy of climbing up trees to dig out bird's nests and going down to the river to touch tortoises?
However, over the years, I have often turned myself into a clay monkey. I have always heated up hot water early in the spring and turned the clay monkey back into a white and chubby little mound.
Tanchun is not sensitive about raising cats. It's not that she doesn't like petting cats, it's mainly because her current hobby is dealing with the account books.
This is very similar to Xue Baochai. Both of them are ambitious people. If they were not restricted by their female status, they would be suitable to work as assistants to Lao Pixiu in the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Xiangyun is also a person who likes to pet cats, but she only likes to pet other people’s cats. If she was asked to raise it by herself, she wouldn't have the patience. Sister Lin's cat would be enough!
