Seeing Fang Shiyu nodding, Old Liu frowned again.

"Mr. Fang, this mischievous theory of Jiuzhou is just an idea, but it has never been confirmed!"

"How can such an illusory idea be used as a fact?"

"If this is OK, can I also create a theory of five continents, six continents, and eight states?"

Lao Liu immediately refuted.

In fact, this Jiuzhou said that it came out after Dayu controlled the flood.

In "Yu Gong", the nine provinces are Yizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou and Yongzhou.

But in "Er Ya", there are Youzhou and Yingzhou, but not Qingzhou and Liangzhou. In "The Literature of Zhou", there are Youzhou and Bingzhou, but not Xuzhou and Liangzhou. In "Lüshi Chunqiu", there are Youzhou and Xuzhou, but not Bingzhou and Liangzhou.

Of course, the ancient Jiuzhou was almost completely different from the current place with the same name.

For example, Yangzhou now refers to Yangzhou, but in ancient times, Yangzhou refers to the Huai River in the north and the coast to the southeast. It is south of the Huai River in Jiangsu and Anhui provinces, and has both Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces. The area of ​​Yangzhou in ancient times was much larger. The largest area of ​​Jiuzhou is Yizhou.

The ancient Chinese believed that the earth was square, and the sky was like a semicircular cover on the ground, and believed that it was in the center of the earth. The so-called "nine ward systems" in the Zhou Dynasty were actually a world pattern that divided the world with the capital of Zhou as the center and distance from the capital.

There are nine provinces within the nine squads, and outside the nine squads, they are called "four seas", referring to "Yi", "Di", "Rong", and "Man", rather than the four seas in the east, west, south, north, and north, as mentioned in later generations. The so-called eight deserts refer to places that are far away from the capital and have exceeded the nine squads. Such a description of the world is recorded in "Shangshu Yu Gong", which is regarded as a classic by Confucianism.

Zou Yan was originally a Confucian, but in the chaotic times of the Warring States Period, the idea of ​​governing the world with benevolence and righteousness was unrelated to attack and seizure, and it was not taken seriously at all, and Zou Yan, as a Confucian, was not valued. So Zou Yan founded a new theory, using strange and grand theories to confuse the monarchs and thus gain fame. In this transformation, Zou Yan deliberately wanted to break the authority of the Confucians to cater to the requirements of the princes of the Warring States Period to fight against the Zhou Dynasty based on Confucian theory in theory, and the theory of the Great Jiuzhou was born.

Zou Yan said that what Confucians talk about China is only one-eighty-one of the world, called Chixian Shenzhou. There are nine provinces in Chixian Shenzhou - the Jiuzhou mentioned in Yugong. This is actually not called a state. Beyond Chixian Shenzhou, there are nine states like Chixian Shenzhou and Chixian Shenzhou. This is a small Jiuzhou.

Outside the Little Kyushu, there are seas surrounding it, and outside the Little Kyushu, there are nine "islands" like the Little Kyushu, which is the Big Kyushu.

Outside the Great Jiuzhou, there is a sea surrounding them, and further out there is the end of the world, where the sky and the earth connect. This is Zou Yan's theory of Big Jiuzhou. The Great Jiuzhou theory believes that the center of the world is in Kunlun, not in the capital of Zhou, which aims to belittle the importance of Confucianism and at the same time find theoretical support for the usurpation of various countries.

But this theory has always been regarded as a fool by future generations, so no one takes it seriously at all.

Of course, another theory of Xuyan, "The Five Virtues Always", is still remembered in people's heart.

If it weren't for Liu Bowen's extensive reading of books, there would probably be few people who know about this big and small Jiuzhou.

“No, no.”

Fang Shiyu shook her head.

"The saying of "Xiaoyan" is not that "there is nothing but that it is true."

"It's just because those people at that time had little vision and little knowledge, they couldn't argue."

The dynasties in China were considered to be extremely special in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In that era, there were too many things that were not very consistent with those at that time, which was really too advanced.

For example, the Qin State at that time had already had the common assembly line production, scientific management, and rule of law in the 20th century, and other things that were thousands of years ago. These things were placed in the West. It was not until the 19th century that the white-skinned pigs gradually learned about it and slowly implemented it.

"What you said, what the ancients said must be the truth?"

"Do you can't afford to lose?"

"If you are wrong, you are wrong."

"Who isn't older than you here? You're young and you have to admit your mistakes. It's not a shame."

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly looked like he was revenge, making you proud, making you arrogant, being defeated, pretending to be too big, and not being able to get back!

It seems that I have to study more even if I have nothing to do!

Who said that the scholar belongs to nothing?

Isn't this useful?

Zhu Yuanzhang was proud and gave Lao Liu a thumbs up.

Not only Zhu Yuanzhang, but the others seemed to be disappointed by Fang Shiyu, and they were also happy to see him.

Since I met Fang Shiyu, this guy has been cheating.

Both civil and military are good at everything, know everything, and do everything.

It always gives people a feeling of needing to look up to.

Now I finally got a lot of trouble. This is exactly the same as his age!

"Don't you all afford to lose?"

"Are you unconvinced?"

"Well, I will let you see it for a long time today!"

"Let you know what it means to see the sky at the bottom of a well, what it means to have someone outside of a person, and what it means to have a mountain outside of a mountain!"

"Wait for me!"

Fang Shiyu turned around and left, and soon took out a small wooden box from it.

This box contains a map, a map of the world from the mid-14th century!

"Boy, what are you holding in your hand?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was curious.

Why is this kid always able to come up with these weird but precious things like a magic trick?

What is the best green tea!

Best wine!

Best food!

All kinds of magical crops!

There are also cement that makes Lao Luo absent-minded, etc.!

It seems that every time this kid makes a move, the things he takes out can completely change the world!

But in their opinion, the magical treasure seemed to be a little money to Fang Shiyu, and could be taken out casually.

Therefore, everyone was naturally very curious and looking forward to what Fang Shiyu took out this time.

"This is a baby. This thing is a map, but a world map."

Fang Shiyu smiled and placed the box on the table.

"You mean there is a geometric map?"

Lao Liu thought about it and then asked.

"Yes, one meaning."

Fang Shiyu nodded.

"What's the good thing about this thing?"

"What did I think it was! Isn't it just Zhang Gang Map?"

"Mr. Fang, I think you should give up!"
Chapter completed!
