It's worth it, it's definitely worth it!

I didn't expect to get the whereabouts of all the information on Zheng He's trip to the West from the mouth of a scribe, which is really unexpected.

Zhu Jie simply took out a huge reward of 1,000 taels of silver, as Zhu Jie said, 1,000 taels of silver in front of Zhu Jie, it doesn't count, even if he asks him to take out 100,000 taels of silver, he doesn't hesitate to take it out in exchange for those materials, this is the most valuable treasure of the Ming Dynasty, but it has been shelved for nearly two hundred years!

returned to the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials, and Zhu Jie immediately found Li Yan over.

"Brother Li Yan, a big discovery, a big discovery!"

Zhu Jie shouted with excitement on his face.

Li Yan smiled and said, "My lord, what did you find out about it, and you were so excited?" ”

"All the information of the Three Treasure Eunuchs to the West, nautical charts, local chronicles, shipbuilding drawings, and even army formations, are all available, haha, this is the real treasure that cannot be changed, not a treasure that cannot be changed!"

Zhu Jie said excitedly.

Li Yan was stunned and said, "My lord, just some drawings, so you are happy to be like this?" The most important of these is only those shipbuilding drawings, as for other nautical charts and local chronicles, what use can they be? ”

Zhu Jie said excitedly: "Brother Li Yan, this is wrong, the world will undergo tremendous changes in the future, in the next two hundred years, you can't imagine what kind of great changes will happen in this world, and this great change has already begun, our Ming Dynasty is busy with internal and external troubles, and is already in a backward position, if you don't catch up, it won't take a hundred years, and it will be comprehensively surpassed by Western countries!" ”

Li Yan was a little dizzy, he didn't quite understand what Zhu Jie meant, and looked at Zhu Jie in amazement.

"My lord, you said that the Ming Dynasty has lagged behind the West? Impossible, absolutely impossible! Our Chinese empire has always been the center of the earth, and all nations have come to the dynasty, whether it is the South Sea or the West, it is just an ignorant and uncivilized land, how can it be compared with our magnificent China? ”

Li Yan asked.

Belch......

Zhu Jie was almost stunned by Li Yan's words, this is one of his most optimistic helpers, even in ignorance, speechless, two hundred years of sea ban, has made the Chinese unknowingly, completely isolated from the world, do not know any situation of other opponents!

"Brother Li Yan, you are my number one think tank now, if you think so, then I have the mind to jump into the Yangtze River......"

Zhu Jie's face was full of resentment, and he replied helplessly.

"But,"

Li Yan snorted: "My lord, I really don't believe what you said, those red-haired foreigners can't even use chopsticks, what are they not foreign barbarians?" I don't even understand the bow, the way of Confucius and Mencius has never taken root in them, as for what foreign religions, Jesus, and God they are talking about, it is even more ethereal and fantastical, how can such a place surpass our Chinese Empire? ”

Zhu Jie sighed, knowing that he had to popularize the most basic common sense to Zhu Jie.

"Brother Li Yan, you know too little about this world, when I was ignorant and a child, I was taken around the world by my master, this time is far greater than you think! Come on, pen and ink waiting! ”

"No!"

Li Yan shouted, "This time I asked your sister-in-law to serve you to lay paper and polish ink, but I want to see if you can conjure flowers for me!" ”

The red lady glared at Li Yan fiercely, spread out the paper, and gently grinded the ink block.

Zhu Jie picked up the brush and frowned, this brush is too soft, and the rice paper is too soft, it is really not suitable for drawing a world map, so it can only be used improvise......

Zhu Jie began to graffiti and draw a map on a four-foot xuan, which was a piece of cake for Zhu Jie, and as for the general outline of the world map, he was even more familiar with it, it was too simple.

In the blink of an eye, a map of the world with various lines appeared in front of everyone's eyes!

"Brother Li Yan, look, what is this?"

Li Yan frowned and said suspiciously: "This, this is a map?" Where is the map? How does it look like this? ”

The red lady pouted and said: "Where is the map, it is clearly a watermelon, a watermelon that has been cut in half!" My lord, if you fool your sister-in-law with a watermelon, you will be unlucky today! ”

Zhu Jie's face turned black and wiped it, watermelon? Yours is there! What a talent!

"Sister-in-law, here's the map, the map! Didn't Brother Li Yan already say it just now? Here's the map! And it's a map of the whole world! ”

Zhu Jie shouted angrily, he really played the piano to a cow, and he played the piano to a cow! He even said that his map was a watermelon!

"World map?"

Li Yan was shocked, looked at it carefully, Zhu Jie shook his head, took off the map of the whole territory of the Ming Dynasty hanging on the wall, put it together with the map he had just drawn, and said, "Big brother, look at it like this, look here!" Yes, how about this curve? Isn't the outline very similar? ”

Li Yan looked in the direction of Zhu Jie's finger, it was the outline of the entire coast of the Ming Dynasty starting from the Liaodong Peninsula to Annan, if this line was put to the same size, it would be almost exactly the same, nothing else!

"Brother, is this—Is this really a map of the world?"

I can't help but Li Yan doesn't believe it, this map is too detailed, especially the outlines of the provinces in the Ming Dynasty, which are all marked, which is simply unique!

Zhu Jie pursed his lips and replied, "How is it?" Brother didn't lie to you, did he? It's from here, all the way here! The whole world is just like this outline, and the Ming Empire plus the Mongolian tribes in the north, Manchuria, and Korea, which is so big, will not occupy more than one-tenth of the entire world's land area! Our Ming Dynasty is an endless sea in the east, and a plateau desert in the west, so we are confined in this small area, sitting in a well and watching the sky, I don't know that this world is so big, ridiculous, sad, sad, pitiful, what has changed in the world now, you people can't imagine it at all, it's really not what you can imagine, if you still want to boast of the heavenly kingdom, so you can really be finished, sooner or later one day will be driven by Westerners in warships, set up cannons to hit the door of the house, When the time comes, there will be no people for thousands of miles, and the white bones will cover the wilderness......"

Li Yan's face was full of shock, and he was shocked when he heard it, Westerners will set up warships and artillery to hit our door?

"You—Are you telling the truth? Even if we occupy one-tenth of the world, but the world's feudal countries are only afraid of no less than a hundred and ten, we are still the leading big country among them, can the Westerners really make us thousands of miles uninhabited, white bones cover the wilderness? I don't believe it! ”

But with this nautical chart, it is different from the local chronicles, this is our magic weapon, a magic weapon that no country has ever had.
