Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 212

In Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin looked at the brocade box in Su Cheng's hand, and asked excitedly, "Did you draw the map?"

"I'm lucky that I didn't disgrace my life. Although I dare not say it's very accurate, it should be pretty close!" Su Cheng smiled while saluting.

The little eunuch next to him took the brocade box carefully and stood by.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Quickly, open the map, I want to see what the world looks like."

Su Cheng opened the brocade box and took out the scroll. Two young eunuchs hurried forward to take it, and then slowly unfolded it.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun immediately came to the map with curious faces. It was a large and detailed map, but they were stunned because the map was so complicated that they didn't know where to start.

"Uh, it's really a circle." Empress Changsun laughed.

Li Shimin asked: "Where is my Great Tang?"

"Up north and down south, left west and right east, Datang is here, Chang'an is here!" Su Cheng pointed at the map and smiled.

Li Shimin observed carefully and couldn't help but nodded secretly. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he was naturally very familiar with the maps of the Tang Dynasty. After a little comparison, he knew that Su Cheng's drawing was correct, and it was even more detailed.

Then Li Shimin's eyes turned to the Western Regions. He was also very familiar with the maps of the Western Regions, and then he realized that Su Cheng's paintings were correct.

These maps are top secret to the outside world, even Su Cheng has never seen them, but Su Cheng has drawn them all, which makes Li Shimin more confident about this world map.

"This is Fusang? What are these little dots?" Empress Changsun asked curiously.

Su Cheng explained with a smile: "These are small islands."

"It's really rare that you even know the small islands overseas!" Empress Changsun couldn't help but praise.

Li Shimin, who had been looking at the map, suddenly took a step back and shouted, "Wait a minute!"

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong?" Su Cheng asked quickly. This was drawn based on the memory of his previous life, so there shouldn't be any problems.

"Why is my Tang so small? Did you draw it wrong?" Li Shimin asked.

Su Cheng explained with a smile: "Your Majesty, I am not mistaken in the drawing. The ocean is about twice the size of the land, and the Tang Dynasty is only about six or seven hundredths the size of the land. In fact, it is already considered the most powerful country in the world."

"Of course, here, I call it Aozhou, which is the giant island that I and Your Majesty mentioned. The climate is warm and the land is fertile. There should be few people occupying it now."

"Corn comes from here. I call it America. It has other high-yield grains, even higher than corn."

"There is no winter here, it is extremely hot all year round, there is no summer here, it is covered with ice and snow all year round, and the most interesting thing is that there will be polar days and polar nights, and the nights and days will last for several months."

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were overwhelmed, and Empress Changsun exclaimed: "It feels like listening to a story. Is there really such a magical place in this world?"

Li Shimin stroked his chin and said, "I think my Tang is too small!"

Su Cheng pointed to the map and said, "To the south is a dense forest, to the west is a plateau, and to the north are grasslands, deserts and ice fields. It is actually not easy to continue to expand the territory, only the south is surrounded by the sea."

"In ancient times, people didn't even know how to make fire, so they could only use stone utensils, then bronze utensils, iron utensils, learned to weave nets, learned to plow land, made carriages, first made small boats, and then built big boats, The society is constantly developing, and the sea used to be a natural moat, but sooner or later human beings will conquer the sea, and whoever wins the sea will win the world!"

Li Shimin stared deeply at the map and said excitedly: "It's a priceless treasure! This is really a priceless treasure!"

Su Cheng is not modest. Maybe this picture is not worth five yuan in later generations, but in this era, it is indeed a priceless treasure.

"I just put this map in my bedroom, and I will often watch it!" Li Shimin said.

Su Cheng couldn't help laughing in his heart when he heard this, Li Er was stimulated and immersed in the joy of Tian Khan all the time, but suddenly found that Datang was so little.

Li Zhi next to him tried his best to look up at the map, with a shocked expression on his face. It turns out that the world is so big, and Datang is only so small.

Putting away the map very preciously, Li Shimin asked curiously: "Hey, there is another brocade box, what's in it?"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "This is a small gift from the minister to the princess."

Because Su Cheng presented the map, Li Shimin Longyan Dayue didn't mind Su Chenggong's own cabbage anymore, and asked curiously, "A gift for Changle? What is it?"

Su Cheng smiled slightly: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a small gift made by myself."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Okay, put it here, I will send someone to Changle!"

Li Zhi immediately puffed out his chest, "I, I can do it!"

After Su Cheng left, Li Shimin immediately said: "Open it, let me see what's inside."

Empress Changsun couldn't help but pursed her lips and laughed.

The little eunuch quickly opened the brocade box, Li Shimin looked at it, and asked with a puzzled face, "What is this?"

Empress Changsun came forward curiously after hearing the words, Li Shimin took out the gift, Empress Changsun suddenly said: "Isn't this the ball that Su Cheng talked about?"

Li Shimin observed carefully: "Well, it's true, it turned out that the map was pasted on it, and it turned out to be a ball. You see, Datang is here, hey, it can still rotate!"

If Su Cheng was still here, he would laugh at Li Er as a bumpkin. This is just a globe!

The more he plays with this ball, the more Li Shimin likes it. Although this ball is smaller, it is more intuitive and three-dimensional. It can be placed directly on the imperial case and can be viewed at any time.

Li Shimin couldn't put it down, and wanted to take it for himself, but he felt a little embarrassed when he thought that it was given to Changle by Su Chengming.

How can a father steal a gift from his daughter?

How thick-skinned is that?

Li Shimin pondered: "It turns out that Su Cheng made such a ball, pasted the map on it, and it can still fight. This idea is ingenious, but it's useless to give Changle this gift, and Changle probably won't like it." .”

Li Zhi immediately widened his eyes, how could he not like it?

Let alone a gift made by my brother-in-law, my sister thinks it is delicious even if my brother-in-law farts!

He suddenly understood what his father meant, that his father wanted this gift!

However, to be honest, he seems to want it too!

Empress Changsun naturally understands Li Shimin better, and sometimes she knows how to cooperate with just one look.

Obviously, the emperor wanted to keep Su Cheng's gift to Changle, how could this work?
