This wooden globe was specially made by Liu Hongjian two days ago from Fang Jingzi, the chief carpenter of the research institute.

Fang Jingzi's craftsmanship is exquisite, and it took three days to carve a huge wood with the thickness of a basin into a sphere, not only that, but in order to reduce the weight of the sphere, the sphere was also hollowed out.

He also invited a director of the military department to compare the rough map drawn by the Ming Dynasty, and copied the plastic globe brought by Liu Hongjian into the Ming version of the world map.

After getting this new globe, Liu Honggradually had to give a thumbs up to the exquisite craftsmanship of the ancients.

"Why aren't the maps drawn on paper?" Chongzhen said with a chopstick dish.

"If it is a map of a certain place or even a certain country, it can naturally be drawn on paper, but this is a global map, Your Majesty!"

"What ball?"

"Ball, earth, this world is round, naturally we have to draw a map into a circle!" Liu Hong's head grew for a while, and he didn't know how to explain it.

"An Guohou, this world is square, even the illiterate people know it, can An Guohou dare to teach my imperial brother such nonsense?" Dingwang Zhu Cijiong suddenly laughed.

"Haha, there is a saying in the Analects that Your Highness reads, and the people can make it by it, but they can't make it known, what do you think?" Liu Hongjian did not refute Zhu Cijiong's questioning, but instead raised his own question.

"Needless to say? Confucius taught us that for the people, we should let them do what the court wants, and not let them understand why they do it! Zhu Cijiong said proudly.

"Then does Your Highness know why Shaanxi Xi rebelled?" Liu Hong gradually sneered, putting aside those natural disasters, if you dig deeper, it is not caused by the so-called policy of ignoring the people.

Since ancient times, all dynasties have treated the people with a policy of ignorance, making the people live a chaotic life, and once they have no food, they will rebel.

How do these insensitive, walking dead-like people know what a state is? What is Home?

The policy of ignoring the people is really a maladministration that has been in place for thousands of years.

This question directly stopped Zhu Cijiong, he was just a 14-year-old child, all he knew was what the master of the Hanlin Academy told him from the book, where did he know anything about the rebellion!

"Your Highness, what is said in the book is not necessarily right, therefore, the earth is round!" Liu Hong gradually stared at Zhu Cijiong and said flatly, he didn't like this child.

"An Guohou said that it is round, it is round, why doesn't the imperial brother believe it?" Yongwang Zhu Cizhao was full of food and said to Zhu Cijiong beside him.

The most heartless person in this palace all day is Yongwang Zhu Cizhao, even in the most difficult time in the palace, Zhu Cizhao has never been hungry.

Because when he is hungry, he will go to Shangshan Jian to find something to eat, and he always likes to find something to do for himself, such as finding someone to fight or something.

Zhu Cihong is too faced, Zhu Cijiong is too gloomy, and although Zhu Cizhao in front of him is young, he is the most lively, the most cheerful, and the most like a normal child.

This kid is not bad, I like it! Liu Hong gradually thought to himself.

"Okay, tell me what you want to tell Cihong about this globe?" Chongzhen poured himself a glass of wine and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, he should not only pay attention to domestic affairs, but also look overseas, the emperor, the enemy of the Ming Dynasty is not in the country, but outside!

Therefore, the minister hopes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will know more about the affairs of foreign vassals and what other surrounding countries are doing. How strong is it? After Liu Hong finished speaking, he handed the wooden globe to Zhu Cihong.

"Thank you Master Liu for your gift!" Zhu Cihong took it politely, and then flipped it over, with a bit of novelty on his face.

"Your Majesty, Weichen heard that when Zheng and Zheng Gonggong went to Nanyang more than a hundred years ago, thousands of sails competed with each other, and all the outsiders bowed their heads.

Now, we can't even build a large treasure ship at that time, and this matter needs to be carefully considered! ”

Liu Hong gradually took the opportunity to make suggestions.

As early as 200 years ago, the great genius shipwrights had built a giant treasure ship with a length of 44 zhang (about 150 meters) and a width of 18 zhang (about 50 meters).

Not to mention that at that time, two hundred years later, it was also the largest sailing ship in the world.

The total length of the Liaoning is only 300 meters, this is an ancient version of an aircraft carrier!

However, on the grounds that the civil official group spent a lot of money and the national strength was not enough, not only shut down all the treasure shipyards at that time, but also Liu Daxia, the secretary of the military department, burned all the treasure ship drawings with a big fire.

The crystallization of the wisdom of several generations and decades is just gone!

Now, Daming's coastal defense is now supported by Zheng Zhilong and a group of pirates, which is simply terrible and ridiculous!

"This matter will be discussed later, let's eat first!" Chongzhen said in a deep voice, he is the king of a country, and the emperors of all dynasties have followed the ancestral system, and he has no interest in overseas.

Besides, now that Da Ming is like this, how can he care about anything else, as long as Wai Yi does not disturb Da Ming, how can they toss, what is the matter with Da Ming?

He only has a headache for domestic affairs, and when he thinks of this devastated country, Chongzhen is one head and two big.

"Then can you recruit some shipwrights from the south? Chen wants to build a treasure shipyard in Tianjin Wei! The inherent concept is not so easy to break, and the suggestion was dismissed, which did not surprise Liu Hongji.

"Ministers can raise funds, not the court's silver!" Shipbuilding is too expensive, and it is of no great use at present, so I am afraid that Chongzhen will not agree to Liu Hongji, so I have to say so.

"Accurate!" Chongzhen doesn't know why Liu Hongjian has repeatedly mentioned this, but anyway, it doesn't cost him money, so you can toss it however you want.

……

The family banquet was held in a peaceful atmosphere, and when it was about to end, Liu Hong gradually took out a warm and hot mobile phone from his waist.

The quality of the solar power bank bought by a treasure is really not good, the last time he ran out of electricity, he rushed for several days to be fully charged.

"Your Majesty, Weichen will take a family photo for you!" Ding turned on the camera, and Liu Hong gradually turned on the camera with a smile.

Bang - Liu Hong gradually took a single photo of Chongzhen first.

"Your Majesty, smile, don't always be so serious!" Liu Hong gradually looked back at the photo and felt that Chongzhen's face was too rigid, a bit like facial paralysis in later generations.

Liu Hongjian took his mobile phone and asked Chongzhen to see, Chongzhen watched the video of the Battle of Shanhaiguan last time, and he was not too surprised this time.

I was just shocked to see myself in my phone.

"An Guohou, what kind of fun thing is this? Let Akihito see? Princess Zhaoren was full of food, and when she saw Liu Hong dancing towards his father, she became interested for a while.

"Your Highness, come and see the camera and smile!" Liu Hong gradually left Chongzhen and squatted on the ground to take pictures of Princess Zhaoren.

"Slightly~slightly~slightly~" Princess Akihito made a mischievous face at the camera.

With a snap, the cute little face freezes in the camera.

PS: It used to be a shift, but suddenly every day, I couldn't support it, and the instant noodles were all gone, and I had to go to work tomorrow, so ask for a reward!
