Chapter 290 VII This Kind of Map Is Called a Map
"Well, if the starting point is different, you can see a different point of view."

Mr. Hu jumped up against the case and said loudly:
"That's a good point. Well said! This really enlightened the old man! It suddenly dawned on me! Yes, different people read the same book, and naturally get different understandings. The little girl is indeed a smart and open-minded person. people."

Liang Sheng nodded and said:

"Every time I go home and talk to her, I feel that I have benefited a lot after talking with her. I don't know why she has so many ideas at such a young age."

That night, after the accommodation was arranged, Liang Shengyue and Mr. Hu called Shang Xuejian, and the three of them drank tea and chatted in the room, and inadvertently talked about the exam they were going to take this time.Mr. Hu said:
"The exam question three years ago was issued by the emperor. It was initiated on the issue of salt tax in the officialdom at that time. The top three at that time have all become officials in the current salt administration. The exam question six years ago was about the border war at that time. Proposal. Of the top three people accepted, the last one became a household administrator, and both of them joined the army. On the contrary, it was the fourth to No.10 in the two scientific examinations, and most of them entered the imperial court in the end."

Liang Sheng nodded and said:

"In the past two years, it seems that there will be another war in the northwest. I think it will be discussed again this year."

Mr. Hu nodded and said:

"Yes, the people from the neighboring countries in the northwest are brave and good at fighting. In the past, every time we fought against them, few won in the end. Most of them were talks between the DPRK and China and heavy gifts and food. From this point of view If so, this battle will definitely start. It’s just a matter of time.”

Liang Shengyue also frowned and said:

"Yes, if there is a war, it will be the common people who will be injured in the end. The common people in the northwest will be killed and injured, and how many children will be displaced!"

Xuejian heard the two talking, and asked worriedly:

"Uncle, where does our place belong? Will the war affect our place?"

Liang Sheng shook his head and said:

"We are in the east, far away from the northwest. If they all come to us, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Xuejian said again:

"Then uncle, do you have a map of our dynasty?"

"What is a map?"

Liang Sheng asked rhetorically.Xue Jian was at a loss for words, but looking at the two scholars in front of her, she picked up a pen, took a piece of paper, and drew a rough map of Liangjia Village to Shenjia Village and Huishan Town that she remembered, and said softly:

"That's it. Look at it. If you draw it like this, you can know where there are mountains, where there are rivers, and how many people are there. Is the land good? I drew this randomly, and I didn't really measure it. Exactly some proportions. Now, this is Shenjia Village. This is where my home is in Shenjia Village. This is the mountain behind our house. This is the road to Huishan Town and Liangjia Village. This is Liangjia Village, and this is my uncle’s house. The location of the house, this is the river, this is Huishan Town."

Mr. Hu also came up to take a look, watching Xuejian pointing and explaining a pattern he drew with a few strokes. If he didn't hear what Xuejian said, Mr. Hu wouldn't be able to see it.But after hearing Xue Tongling's explanation, it was clear at a glance.After understanding it, I was shocked. Mr. Hu is also a person who has read a lot of poetry and books. He has also read various books, but he has never seen such a picture of a place, and what it looks like when he draws it like this. Clear!
"Little girl, how did you come up with the idea of ​​making this? This is a treasure!"

Hu asked excitedly.

Xue Jian raised a smile and said:
"It's so simple. I just remembered the floor plan I drew when we were repairing the house. The uncle knew it. I drew it, and then calculated how to repair my house. After the repair, it was the same as I drew. One point It will not be wasted. It is only a house as small as my family. If it is as large as the imperial dynasty, what kind of floor plan will it be? If there is a floor plan, it will be scaled down to the actual size and drawn. The location is also clear, which is beneficial to officials Management, knowing where is flat land and where is high mountain, where is suitable for planting, and where the seasons are warm and cold. The most beneficial thing is for the generals on the battlefield to use, isn’t it?”

After saying that, he turned to Liang Shengyue and said:

"Uncle, in this world, the person I trust the most is you. I will teach you how to do this, and you can teach this to my elder brother! This may be more useful to the elder brother than to you! You Say?"

Liang Shengyue and Mr. Hu were still looking at the sketch drawn by Xuejian, equally shocked and astonished.Xue'er, Xue'er, what talent do you have that haven't been discovered?

Hearing Xue Jian's words, Liang Sheng nodded more solemnly.Xuejian brought Liang Shengyue to the table.Picking up the pen will teach Liang Shengyue to draw this picture.But Mr. Hu took a few steps back and sat down on the other side. Xue Jian looked at Mr. Hu strangely and said:

"Grandpa Hu, don't you want to know how I draw?"

But Mr. Hu got up earnestly and bowed slightly:
"I think! I'm shocked by your approach! I just want to draw a floor plan like ours. What a big deal it would be! It's just that you said it was taught by Shengyue, so I don't want to steal it. "

Xuejian was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly and said:
"Grandpa Hu, you misunderstood me. If I wanted to avoid you, I wouldn't say this in front of you. It's just that the elder brother knows my uncle, and he will believe it if he tells him. But Hu Grandpa, your idea is very good. Do you want to travel all over the dynasty to draw? If the dynasty does not have such a picture, you can only go to the whole dynasty to see. Only in this way can we draw a real and complete picture. Otherwise, we still I can only hear that there is a river in a certain place, that there is a mountain in a certain place, and that the river is not far from the mountain, but how far it is is only heard, and I don’t know if there are hills in the middle. So, if you go to see the painting, it will be real and complete. If you want to know how to paint, I will tell you. Don’t ask me how I know it.”

Mr. Hu stood up, bowed seriously to Xuejian and said:
"Yes, then please enlighten me!"

Mr. Hu walked over excitedly.Xuejian rushed out the door and called out:
"Ban Xia, light another candle for me."

When she was in Shenjia Village, every time Xue Jian used the study, Ban Xia would wait outside the study.Sure enough, as soon as Xuejian called, a little girl came in with a candle.

Xuejian moved the candle light, and said to Banxia:

"You should also pay attention when you are sitting at the door. Take this brazier and bake me a sweet potato to eat. Slowly bake it and light a candle so that you don't burn yourself."

Ban Xia nodded with a smile, and ran out cheerfully.Xue Jian also shook her head, don't tell her to roast sweet potatoes, she doesn't know how to cook over a fire, she is afraid of burning charcoal.This girl, a child from a poor family is like this.
