Sui and Tang Dynasties: Killing Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty to sacrifice to heaven at the beginni

Chapter 576 The Globe

Li Mu and the wives briefly explained the knowledge of geography, and finally found that, except for the eldest grandson Wugou who loves to learn, the rest of the wives seemed not interested in whether the land under their feet was round or square.

This ancient woman paid attention to the three obediences and four virtues, and the husband sings and the wife follows.

They only have their own men and children in their hearts, so they don't care about such messy things.

For this ancient woman, whether the land under her feet was round or square, they had to live anyway.

As long as my man is by my side, my child will grow up healthily, no matter how round or square.

Soon, Li Mu found that teaching his wives a geography class felt a bit like Niu Tanqin, so, naturally, Li Mu played a guest role as a biology teacher again, explaining carefully to the wives , Little knowledge of biology.

I have to say that being a teacher is quite tiring, especially when one-on-four explaining little biology knowledge.

Biological knowledge, you can't just explain it, you have to practice it. After this practice, Li Mu is so tired that his back hurts!

In the evening, Li Mu set off to meet Yang Guang, accompanied by a small gift he had prepared for Yang Guang.

This little gift is nothing but the globe made by Li Mu.It is conceivable that Yang Guang would definitely like this little gift from Li Mu very much.

But there is no emperor who is not obsessed with the land. There is no doubt that Yang Guang must be extremely surprised when he sees the globe and learns that the earth is so vast.

Daxing City, the Imperial Palace.

Royal study.

"Your Majesty, please see the general!" Yang Guang was dealing with government affairs in the imperial study, and Zhang Heng came to report in a hurry.

As soon as he heard Li Mu begging to see him, Yang Guang immediately put down what he was doing, and hurriedly said, "Please come in quickly, General."

Yang Guang now attaches great importance to Li Mu, to what extent, let's put it this way, but if he doesn't see Li Mu for two or three days, Yang Guang will panic.

For his minister of the humerus, Yang Guang likes it very much!
However, since Li Mu had just returned from an expedition, he hadn't seen his wife and children for a long time.It's not easy to bother Yang Guang as the emperor, so Xuan Li Mu didn't see him.

Before Yang Guangxuan and Li Mu could see him, Li Mu came by himself, which made Yang Guang very happy.

Zhang Heng got the order to go to Xuan Li Mu to have an audience, and after a short meeting, Li Mu came to the imperial study.

Behind Li Mu, there were also two attendants from the palace. These two attendants in the palace were carrying something in a "hangchi, huh", and followed closely behind Li Mu.

What the two men were carrying was nothing but the globe made by Li Mu.

This globe is not small, just a sphere is as big as two basketballs, and with a base made of gold underneath, it is as tall as a person.

Yang Guang looked at Li Mu with a puzzled look on his face. Yang Guang thought to himself, come as soon as you come, why do you still bring something?
The most important thing is that Yang Guang didn't see what this thing was.

However, the shape of this globe is indeed peculiar, which immediately caught Yang Guang's attention.

After Yang Guang stared at the globe for a while, he took the initiative to ask, "Aiqing, what is this thing?"

Li Mu ordered someone to place the globe next to Yang Guang's desk, and after fiddling with the globe with his fingers, he said to Yang Guang, "Your Majesty, this object is called a globe."

"Globe?" After listening to Li Mu's words, Yang Guang became even more confused.

Yang Guang knows what this land is, and Yang Guang also knows what the ball is, but together, Yang Guang doesn't know what the earth is.

From the perspective of the reader, the word "Yi" is added after the earth, so what is this "Yi"?
"What is the globe?" Yang Guang asked Li Mu again.

Li Mu also knew that if Yang Guang wanted to understand what this globe was, he had to first know that the sky is round and the earth is a wrong idea.

"Your Majesty, do you know what the shape of heaven and earth is?" Li Mu asked Yang Guang.

Hearing Li Mu ask himself this question, Yang Guang pondered for a while, and after thinking about it, he replied: "I have never walked to the edge of this place, let alone seen the end of the sky. I really don't know the shape of the sky and the earth." .”

"However, it is mentioned in the Book of Changes and Shangshu that the sky is round and the earth is round! Come to think of it, the sky is round and the earth is square!"

Needless to say, Yang Guang is still a truth seeker, and has never seen the end of the world, so he is not convinced of the concept of the round sky and the earth.

Since it is not convinced, then this matter is much easier to handle.

Li Mu asked Yang Guang: "If I tell Your Majesty that the sky is round and the place is a fallacy, and the land under our feet is spherical, I don't know if Your Majesty thinks it is true or not!"

Li Mu said this, only to hear Yang Guang reply: "I believe in Aiqing, Aiqing said that if the earth is round, it is round, and if the earth is square, it is square!"

When Li Mu heard this, there was a black line on his face.How do I say this, what do I mean when I say that the sky and the earth are in whatever shape they are.

Feelings are in Yang Guang's heart, this world is already in my shape?

Li Mu came to the globe, fiddled with the globe, and turned the position of Da Sui towards Yang Guang.

"Your Majesty, this is the land under our feet, and this is Da Sui!"

"This is the case with the land under our feet. The earth is a sphere. On this sphere, the land only accounts for about [-]% of it, while the ocean occupies about [-]%."

"And even on this less than [-]% of the land, my Tai Sui's land is only [-]%!"

As soon as Li Mu said this, Yang Guang asked again: "Aiqing, what is one percent?"

When Li Mu thought about it, if he said the percent sign to the ancients, he would probably be crazy.

Immediately, Li Mu explained: "That is to say, if these lands are divided into one hundred shares, our Tai Sui will only occupy one of them!"

After saying this, Li Mu pointed to the land and said, "Your Majesty, look here, there is a continent called America."

"Above this America, there is a group of white-skinned, blue-eyed indigenous people. Here, there is a kind of food called sweet potato, which can be planted for two or even three seasons every year. Its yield is as high as one mu of land. More than three thousand catties."

"If this kind of food can be introduced into our Great Sui, there will be no famine in our Great Sui in the future!"

"This place, named Africa, is full of gold mines, it can be said that it is full of gold!"

"The aborigines here are all black-skinned, and they have the explosive power of beasts!"

"However, although they are physically strong, their IQs are not much better than beasts. Black people are the best slaves!"

Li Mu narrated slowly, pointing to the land on the globe while explaining to Yang Guang.
