Chapter 321: The Real Purpose Datang is really small

"Yuanba, you take Cheng Qian back first!" Bai Fan commanded.

Li Yuanba is also curious about what the hell is going on, and he still needs to carry himself and Li Chengqian behind his back? However, he had always trusted Bai Fan, so he didn't ask, and walked out with Li Chengqian according to his words.

"Uncle Wang, go and guard the surroundings, no one is allowed within a hundred steps!"

Seeing Li Yuan nodding, Lao Wang willingly set up a guard.

Now there are only three people in the entire sacrificial ancestral hall, Li Yuan, Feng An, and Bai Fan, Bai Fan saluted respectfully to the tablet of Mrs. Xian on the main seat, and then took out an object from his arms.

Leaning down and spreading it out on the ground, it was a map, a map the size of a tabletop, hidden in Bai Fan's robe.

After the map was unfolded, the three of them were sitting in front of the map, Li Yuan and Feng Ang were also observing the map, of course, the two didn't know where it was on the map, not any of the state road maps they had seen, and they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, could it be the great treasure of Lingnan that Bai Fan said?

"Jianzhi, are you so solemn just to show us this picture? Where is this pictured? Could this be the treasure map of the great treasure of Lingnan that you are talking about? Feng Ang asked.

Bai Fan laughed, thinking that this Feng Ang was really a fan of money, thinking about making money, he shook his head and said: "No, the two of you are both standing at the top of the Tang Dynasty, let me ask you a question, do you know how wide the world is?" How big is the world? ”

This!

Li Yuan and the others didn't answer for a while, they were both pondering how to answer, and after a long time, Li Yuan spoke: "I don't know how vast the world is, but how big the world is, and there are many records in ancient books.

Since ancient times, the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty is the center, surrounded by barbarians, and after the expansion of the national territory, I found that the north is the grassland, and the grassland is the vast ice field without people, the east is the boundless sea, and the west is the countries of the Western Regions. ”

Bai Fan applauded and smiled: "The old man is really knowledgeable, you are right, but this is also the limit that people in the Tang Dynasty know now, what I want to tell you today is how big and wide the world is." ”

With Bai Fan's explanation, Li Yuan exclaimed: "Impossible, my Datang is sitting on thousands of miles of fertile soil, how can it be the size of a palm?" According to you, the world is so big, why didn't the predecessors find that there was no record? ”

"It's very simple, it's because it's too big, from this end to that end of the day to ride a horse non-stop, a year can't be finished, not to mention the countries along the way, dangerous and abnormal, who has the perseverance and perseverance to go through?

Old man, don't preconceive and don't believe anything, I'm telling you a fact, popularize the knowledge of world geography, you can't sit in the well and watch the sky. ”

Li Yuan was silent, and then took a closer look at the territory that belonged to the Tang Dynasty, Bai Fan's painting was right, the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, and the coastal land were all right, that is, this is really the territory of the Tang Dynasty? It turns out that there is such a big world outside Datang?

Thinking of this, Li Yuan smiled dumbly: "Thinking that back then, the world where I fought with the 36th anti-king at the end of the Sui Dynasty turned out to be just a frog at the bottom of the well sitting in the well and watching the sky, and it took me 20 years to spend 20 years for this place with a big palm, it's really ridiculous!"

The world is so vast, my Datang should not rest on its laurels, when the territory is expanded, and a good river and mountain will be laid for the future generations. ”

Bai Fan stopped: "Just to prevent His Majesty from seeing, I am so secretive, is it so easy to fight the turf?" Datang is such a big place, surrounded by wolves, we can't finish it, Chang'an to Lingnan so far away, if it weren't for Feng Gong's righteousness and patriotism, would Chang'an be able to rule here?

Judging from the current military foundation, the places that the army can't reach in a month are all places where the Tang Dynasty can't rule firmly, not to mention the places that can only be reached after a year's walk, what's the use of us spending our lives to fight?

Besides, the outside world is very wide, but not only our Datang is a strong country, the Great Food Country and the Great Qin Kingdom are all big countries recorded in ancient books, because trade is quite friendly with our Datang, but they are also huge countries, how easy is it to defeat them?

Don't dream, old man, I didn't want you to encroach on the territory, but there are more important things than that. ”

Feng Ang looked at Li Yuan, who was in a stupor, and then looked at Bai Fan, who was holding the pearl with an indifferent face, and there was already a storm in his heart, this person is really powerful, he knows what people don't know, and he can do what people can't, no wonder he can be famous all over the world at a young age, it turns out that everyone has lost to others in terms of vision.

"Emperor Taishang, the minister thinks that it is reasonable to say simply, it is important to expand the territory, but it is more important to govern the country and protect the people, and the territory cannot be governed, that is, the bloodshed and sacrifice in vain, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed the Huns, and the northern territories were all of the Han Dynasty, but now, it is not because it cannot be governed by the grassland tribes?

You don't have to worry about it, since Jian Zhi has proposed these things, he must have an idea, you might as well listen to what he wants to say. Feng Ang opened his mouth to persuade.

Both of them looked at Bai Fan, waiting for him to speak: "I have always known this map, if I don't take it out, I am afraid that I will not be able to control the ambitions of His Majesty today, once the army is exhausted, the Tang Dynasty will inevitably go to destruction, because now the people of the Tang Dynasty are still not full, there is no basis for hegemony, the country is too poor to expand." ”

Li Yuan nodded heavily, and sighed: "You are right, Datang is indeed too poor, you also know Erlang very well, he is heavy on troops and martial arts, and he is determined to surpass Han Wu, this picture is taken out, maybe he will start a big war within ten years, but Datang's national strength, hehe, ten years of cultivation may not be able to sustain such a big battle."

I will keep this matter secret for you, only if the three of us know about it, you say that you have other purposes, let's talk about it! ”

Bai Fan nodded and said: "I have a great fortune to give to the Feng family, if this matter is successful, not to mention the prosperity of the Feng family for ten thousand years, at least a thousand years of merit is enough, and this merit is on this map." ”

Li Yuan and the others were puzzled, what kind of wealth? Can it be called merit?

"Both of them know that I want to build a sea ship here and establish a Datang Navy, but they don't know that the real purpose of going to sea is not to fight for hegemony, but to have treasures overseas, and there are several kinds of food that can make all the people in the world no longer hungry.

What the?

Li Yuan asked, "Is this true?" ”

Bai Fan nodded solemnly, "A kind of grain with a yield of 1,000 catties per mu is called corn, which can be eaten by the people every day, and it is definitely the best fine grain; There are also two kinds of grain with a yield of 3,000 catties per mu, called sweet potatoes and potatoes, which can be used as daily vegetables and can be used as life-saving food for disaster relief in disaster years! ”

"Thousands of pounds per mu? Three thousand pounds? Feng Ang exclaimed, Li Yuan exclaimed!

The old man Li Yuan grabbed Bai Fan's arms tightly and asked, "Is there really such immortal food?" Where is it? Where is it? I'm going to pick it up myself! ”
