"Yuanba, take Chengqian back first!" Bai Fan ordered.

Li Yuanba was also curious about what was going on and he still needed to carry him and Li Chengqian on his back? However, he had always trusted Bai Fan and did not ask. He took Li Chengqian out in the same mood.

"Wang Bo, Lao Jiao go and watch the surroundings, no one is allowed within a hundred steps!"

Seeing Li Yuan nodding, Lao Wang knew how to set up a warning.

Now there are only Li Yuan, Feng Ang and Bai Fan in the entire sacrificial ancestral hall. Bai Fan respectfully bowed to the Lady Xian tablet on the main seat, and then took out something from his arms.

He bent down and spread it on the ground. It was a map, a map the size of a desktop, hidden in his robe by Bai Fan.

After the map was spread out, the three of them sat around in front of the map. Li Yuan and Feng Ang were also observing the map. Of course, the two did not know where the map was. They were not any state road map they had seen. They couldn't help but wonder, was it the Lingnan treasure that Bai Fan mentioned?

"Jian Zhi, are you so serious about showing us this picture? Where is the drawing on this picture? Is this the treasure map of Lingnan’s Great Treasures you mentioned?" Feng Ang asked.

Bai Fan laughed loudly, thinking that Feng Ang was really crazy about his wealth, and just wanted to make money, he shook his head and said, "No, both of them are the top figures in the Tang Dynasty. Let me ask you a question, do you know how broad the world is? How big the world is?"

this!

Li Yuan and the other two didn't answer for a while, and were thinking about how to answer. After a long time, Li Yuan said, "I don't know how vast the world is, but how big the world is, there are many records in ancient books.

Since ancient times, the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty were the center, and there were barbarians around it. After the country's territory expanded, I found that there was a grassland in the north, and there was a vast ice field without people after passing through the grassland. To the east was the boundless sea and the Western Regions countries in the west. I heard from the travelers who traveled far away, there were also ancient books that said that there were Great Food Kingdom and Great Qin Kingdom in the south, and to the south, there were boundless South China Sea."

Bai Fan applauded and smiled, "You are really profound. You are right, but this is also the limit that people in the Tang Dynasty know today. What I want to tell you today is how big and wide the world is."

Following Bai Fan's explanation, Li Yuan exclaimed: "Impossible, I, the Tang Dynasty, have thousands of miles of fertile soil, why is the size of a palm? According to you, the world is so big, why didn't my predecessors find no record?"

"It's very simple. It's because it's too big. You can't stop riding a horse every day and walk in a year. What's more, there are many countries along the way, which is extremely dangerous. Who has the perseverance to go there?

Old man, don’t believe anything before my preconceptions. I’m telling you a fact and popularize world geography knowledge. You can’t watch the sky from a well.”

Li Yuan was silent and looked at the territory belonging to the Tang Dynasty. Bai Fan painted it correctly. The Yellow River, the Yangtze River, and the coastal areas were all right. That is to say, this is really the territory of the Tang Dynasty. It turns out that there is such a big world outside the Tang Dynasty?

Thinking of this, Li Yuan laughed silently: "Thinking about the world that I fought with the thirty-six anti-kings at the end of the Sui Dynasty, it turned out that I was just a frog in the well to watch the sky. It was just a frog in the well to spend twenty years on this palm-sized place. It was so ridiculous!

The world is so vast that our Tang Dynasty should not stand firm. We should expand our territory and build a great land for our younger generations. Simply, you should show this picture to Erlang."

Bai Fan stopped him and said, "It's just to prevent Your Majesty from seeing me. Is it so easy to seize territory? Such a big place in the Tang Dynasty, surrounded by wolves, we can't destroy it. From such a distance from Chang'an to Lingnan, if it weren't for Gong Feng's righteous patriotism, would Chang'an rule here?

Judging from the current military basis, places where the army cannot reach a month are places where the Tang Dynasty cannot firmly rule, not to mention the place where it takes a year to reach. What is the use of spending our lives to fight?

Besides, the outside world is very wide, but not only our Tang Dynasty is a powerful country, but the Great Food Country and the Great Qin Kingdom are all great countries recorded in ancient books. Because trade is quite friendly to our Tang Dynasty, but they are also big countries with huge territory. How easy is it to defeat them?

Mr. Don’t dream, I took it out not to let you occupy the territory, but to have something more important than this.”

Feng Ang looked at Li Yuan who was stunned and looked at Bai Fan with a calm face. He had already stirred up waves in his heart. This person was indeed powerful. He knew what others didn’t know and could not. No wonder he was famous all over the world at a young age. It turned out that everyone lost to others in his vision.

"The Supreme Emperor, I think what Jian said is reasonable. It is important to expand territory, but it is even more important to govern the country and protect the people. If you can't control the territory, it means bloody sacrifice. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed the Huns, the northern territory was all from the Han Dynasty. But now, it is not occupied by the grassland tribe because it cannot control it?

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 advised.

Both of them looked at Bai Fan and waited for him to speak: "I have always known this picture. If I don't take it out, I'm afraid that I can't control the ambitions of His Majesty today. Once the army is invincible, the Tang Dynasty will inevitably go to destruction, because the people of the Tang Dynasty are still not full, and there is no foundation for fighting for hegemony. The country is too poor to expand."

Li Yuanchen pointed his head and sighed: "You are right. The Tang Dynasty is indeed too poor. You know Erlang very well. He is very good at military affairs and is determined to surpass Hanwu. If you take this picture out, maybe he will start a war within ten years, but the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, haha, ten years of cultivation may not be able to support such a big battle.

I will keep this matter confidential for you, only if the three of us know about Mingyuan. If you say you have other purposes, let’s talk about it!”

Bai Fan nodded and said, "I have a great wealth to the Feng family. If this happens, not to mention that the Feng family will flourish for thousands of years, at least a thousand years of merit will be sufficient, and this merit is on this picture."

Li Yuan and the other two wondered what kind of wealth can be called merit?

"Both of you know that I want to build sea ships here and build the Tang Dynasty navy, but you 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 have hunger. As long as the ship is successful, whoever leads the Tang Dynasty to retrieve it for the people will be great merit."

What?

Li Yuan asked, "Is this true?"

Bai Fanzheng focused on it, "A grain with a yield of a thousand jin per mu is called corn, which can be eaten by the people every day, and is definitely the best refined grain; there are also two grains with a yield of three thousand jin per mu, called sweet potatoes and potatoes, which can be used as daily vegetables, and can be used as food for disaster relief and life-saving food!"

"A thousand kilograms per mu? Three thousand kilograms?" Feng Ang exclaimed, and Li Yuan exclaimed!

The old man Li Yuan even grabbed Bai Fan's arms tightly and asked: "Is there really such immortal grain? Where? Where? I'll pick it up in person!"
