The "Geography" textbook that Li Er wants to read is currently being "watched" by several bachelors~!
"Hi~! The ground under our feet is actually spherical~? How is this possible~?"
(Li Tai has long known that the earth is spherical, so he will not be surprised at all when seeing these things)
At first, Xiao Deyan didn't suppress his curiosity and quietly opened the book left by Li Tai. When he saw the first page, he couldn't help but exclaimed. This inexplicable exclamation, It also attracted the attention of the two scribes next to him, but Xiao Deyan couldn't control it at the moment. He had devoted all his attention to the book, and he wanted to find out~!
The first chapter of this "Geography" textbook compiled by Li Zexuan talks about the earth and maps. After stating that the earth is spherical, Li Zexuan also gave some clear evidence that can be given under the conditions of this era to prove that the earth is spherical. .
After Xiao Deyan finished reading, he was really like thunder hitting his head, and his head was buzzing. He originally wanted to refute the views in this book, but after reading this short chapter, he could no longer refute the words. It was exported, but the earth was spherical, which was hard for him to fully accept for a while~!
"Oh my God~! The land under our feet is so big~! The Tang Dynasty only occupies such a small area~! There are so many countries in the north, west and south of the Tang Dynasty~?"
"Seventy percent of the Earth's surface is ocean and 30% is land~? How is this possible~?"
"The longitude line from south to north that passes through Tai Chi Palace is called the prime meridian or zero degree longitude. It increases from the zero degree longitude east and west to 180 degrees, and from the equator (0° latitude) to the south and north The two poles increase gradually, increasing to ninety degrees, dividing the earth, and each point will correspond to a longitude and latitude~! Hiss~! Who wrote this book~? "
"Who came up with this longitude and latitude line~? It's so bold. He wants to use the Tang Dynasty as a reference to divide the world~! Such an idea~! Such courage~! It's simply amazing~!"
At first, only two people were attracted, but when they saw the wonderful things in the book, the three people exclaimed one after another, and finally attracted all the scribes in the room.
Gradually, as time went by, everyone in the room was awestruck by the "pointing to the sky and the earth" reflected in this book. No one had ever told them that the earth was round. No one has ever told them how big the earth is, how much land and sea there are, and no one has ever divided the earth with longitude and latitude lines. After just reading the first chapter of this book, these bachelors feel that the worldview in their minds has already Being completely subverted, they are still in a state of confusion.
"Xiao Xiaoshi, His Majesty sent someone here to help His Highness the King of Wei take away the "Geography" textbook that he had read before~!"
Just when everyone was shocked without saying a word, a boy walked in from the door and said to Xiao Deyan.
Seeing an outsider coming in, the dozens of academicians gathered around the table dispersed in disarray and quickly dispersed with guilty consciences.
After all, this book is Li Tai's personal book, and it is against the rules for them to read it without permission.
Xiao Deyan's old face turned red. He stood up and looked at the boy and asked: "Geography textbook~? What geography textbook~? Has your Highness made it clear~?"
Although the boy felt that the atmosphere in the room was strange, he did not dare to raise any questions. He directly replied: "His Highness said it was the book he read earlier~!"
Xiao Deyan suddenly realized it. He picked up the book on the table and took a look at it. He handed it over reluctantly and said, "That's it. Take it and give it to the person sent by His Majesty~!"
"No~!"
The boy took it solemnly and then left.
Everyone in the room looked at each other, and Xiao Deyan sighed: "So this book is called Geography~! It's such a unique book~!"
Another scribe also sighed and said: "Yes~! Let's not talk about whether what is said here is correct or not. The person who can put forward these views is definitely an amazing genius~! Just with this courage With this kind of courage, it’s hard for me to match him~!”
Xiao Deyan nodded in agreement: "What Brother Xie said makes sense~! I just don't know who wrote this book~! How did it appear in the literature museum out of thin air~?"
This brother Xie is Xie Yan, who is also a bachelor in the Li Tai Literature Museum and one of the compilers of "Kuo Di Zhi" in the future.
Xie Yan heard this and replied: "It seems that someone made a special trip to deliver this book to His Highness the King of Wei in the morning. After receiving the book, His Highness the King of Wei has been reading the book and has not even eaten lunch~!"
Xiao Deyan frowned and said: "His Highness said this book is a "Geography" textbook, a textbook, a textbook, which school would use this kind of textbook~? I have never heard of it~!"
Xie Yan thought for a while, and suddenly said loudly in shock: "Yanhuang Academy~! Only a strange existence like Yanhuang Academy would use such weird teaching materials~! And His Highness has asked us to collect the mountains and rivers of the past these days. Zhi, it is very likely to have something to do with this "Geography" textbook~!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Deyan agreed: "Brother Xie's analysis is good. In this case, the person who wrote this book can only be..."
………………………
"Point the sky and the earth, divide the world~! This guy is so brave~! Not bad, not bad~!"
In the Manlu Palace, Li Er received the "Geography" book that the people below had retrieved from the Prince of Wei's Mansion, read the time for half a stick of incense, then clapped his hands and laughed.
The reason why it is said to be good is mainly because Li Zexuan defined the zero-degree meridian as the meridian passing through the Tai Chi Palace. This made Li Er, who paid attention to the holy name, very proud and satisfied.
As for the theory that the earth is spherical, Li Tai introduced it to him before, but now that he saw it written in the book, he was not much surprised.
"Is this the world map~? Why does my Datang occupy such a small area~? And why are there so many missing areas in the territory of my Datang~?"
He flipped through the textbook casually, and a large map instantly attracted Li Er's attention. After looking at it carefully for a while, Li Er raised his head and frowned.
Li Tai coughed dryly and explained: "Father, although the Tang Dynasty is vast, it is really only that big on the earth. As for why there are gaps, this is because Mr. Li is not very familiar with the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty. Understanding, I gave the task of perfecting this book to Erchen~! Erchen is planning to start improving it after receiving the book today~!"
Li Er nodded. He stared at the map for a long time, then raised his head, with an indescribable look in his eyes, and said to Li Tai: "Okay~! Then Qingque, go back~! This book is Perfect, you must pay attention~!"
