The sum of all these makes Tang Jun in this time and space extremely powerful!
Of course, Li Er and the others didn't know about these things, but Li Wangyou, a puppet army fan, could figure it out.
Therefore, he didn't think that Goguryeo could still become a stumbling block for the Tang cavalry.
"Uncle, how can my nephew make fun of this kind of thing?"
Li Wangyou shrugged his shoulders very easily.
It is not difficult to keep out the cold, as long as Gaochang is taken down and a large amount of cotton is planted.
Cotton clothes are no less effective in keeping out the cold than animal fur. More importantly, they are cheap and can be equipped in large quantities.
The Tang Dynasty just didn't know the benefits of cotton. Otherwise, the Western Region countries like Gaochang would not be wiped out by the Tang army until they got Zhenguan for 14 years.
"Okay, okay! If that's the case, when I recover Liaodong, you, Ziyou, will take the lead!"
Li Er, Cheng Yaojin and others clapped their hands and laughed, no one doubted Li Wangyou's words.
For state leaders such as Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde, if they can't attack Goguryeo in this way, they can really find a piece of tofu and beat them to death by themselves.
After Li Er smiled, he asked again in a happy mood: "Since you don't think Goguryeo is my Tang Dynasty's confidant's trouble, then tell me, who is the foreign trouble you mentioned? Xue Yantuo? Western Turkic or Tuyuhun ?”
Li Wangyou didn't answer directly, and coughed lightly, "Uncle, I have prepared something and am going to present it to Uncle. Why don't you ask Uncle and the princes to look at this thing first, and then my nephew and Uncle Explain in detail, okay?"
"Yes!" Li Er naturally agreed, and was very curious in his heart.
Everyone returned to the castle of the Li Mansion, Li Wangyou asked Li Er and the others to stay in the living room for a while, and then hurried to the study to take out something.
After bringing the object to the living room, Li Wangyou signaled all the servants and maidservants in the mansion to leave, even those servants beside Li Er, after he asked Li Er for instructions, he asked Mi Tuo to drive them all out.
Seeing Li Wangyou's seriousness, everyone knew that he was serious, so they were even more curious about what he had in his hand.
Needless to say, this thing must have been passed down by the Taoist ancestor, otherwise Li Wangyou would not be so nervous.
After all the idlers had receded, Li Wangyou slowly unfolded the things in his hands, but it caused everyone in the living room, including Li Er, to exclaim in unison...
953 This is my Great Tang
Back in Jiulong County, when Li Wangyou saw the navigation map on Su Changqing's phone, he secretly scolded himself for being stupid.
In order to get a title for the beautiful boss, it was so complicated. In fact, as long as he copied the map in the phone, he would not be afraid to blind Li Er's eyes. How difficult is it to change the title?
Since ancient times, China's maps have always been drawn in a different way and have a unique style.But I have to say, but from a practical point of view, Huaxia's map is really not detailed.
Although as early as the Western Jin Dynasty, the famous official Pei Xiu proposed the "six bodies of cartography", which clarified the relationship between map scale, azimuth and distance, but the ancient maps of China lacked map projection and longitude and latitude measurement due to surveying and mapping methods and drawing methods. , causing the map to always be inaccurate.
In fact, this is not only the case in China, but also in the Western world.
Even during the Wanli period, the Western missionary Matteo Ricci made great progress in the "Comprehensive Map of Kunyu and All Nations", but the map is still far from accurate in the eyes of later generations.
This is also normal. After all, in the era without satellite remote sensing and mapping, it was too difficult to measure the world at that time by manpower.
Although the navigation map in Su Changqing's mobile phone is only a civilian map for later generations, in terms of precision and accuracy, it is an incredible "divine map" in Datang.
After returning to Chang'an, Li Wangyou took the time to re-draw a map of China and its surrounding areas by zooming in on equal proportions.
Because this map was going to be dedicated to Li Er, Li Wangyou drew it quite large in order to shock enough.
Li Wangyou spent a lot of time transplanting the map of Asia on the white silk cloth that was more than ten feet long and half a foot wide.
The reason why he didn't draw a world map was that he was too lazy to explain so much to Li Er.
Otherwise, Li Er and the others will inevitably become curious babies and keep asking him various questions, such as the distance between North and South America, Europe and Africa across the ocean, how to get there, etc... As a lazy person, Being able not to make trouble for yourself is the most important thing.
After drawing a huge map of Asia, Li Wangyou thoughtfully followed the customs of Tang people, and asked Yan Liben for help, and drew mountains, rivers, cities and other terrains on it, so that this huge map was even more beautiful. With visual impact.
After Yan Liben saw this map, he immediately knelt down, and he no longer had any doubts about Li Wangyou being a disciple of the Taoist ancestor.
This kind of map, except for the gods looking down on the earth from the sky, how can other people draw it?
After Yan Liben's drawing, the more three-dimensional and intuitive map of Asia was slowly unfolded in front of the eyes of the officials of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Er and the others were shocked and stood on the spot.
In the eyes of the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty, this huge map unfolded in front of them is simply a "miracle".
Yan Liben learned sketching from Li Wangyou, and also learned the focal perspective method from Li Wangyou, so that the mountains and cities he drew are very three-dimensional.
According to Li Wangyou's instructions, after drawing three-dimensional colored mountains, rivers, and cities on the map according to the trend of the mountains, this map is seen by everyone as if looking down on the earth from above the sky.
"This... is this my country? Is this my Tang?" Li Er murmured.
Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Gao Shilian, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and others also stared at the huge map in front of them, in a daze.
Li Er quickly walked to the huge map, pointed to a magnificent city in the center of the map, and was extremely excited: "Chang'an, this is Chang'an! Ziyou, am I wrong?"
Li Wangyou bowed slightly in a doggy manner: "Uncle Yingming, that's right, that's Chang'an!"
When he drew this map, he deliberately adjusted the orientation and drew Chang'an at the very center of the map.
Needless to say, it was naturally to flatter Li Er.
Obviously, Li Wangyou's thoughts were not in vain, Li Er was very satisfied with this, and kept walking around on the map with his fingers.
"This is Luoyang, and this is Zhengzhou... This is Taiyuan Mansion, and above that is Goguryeo... Ziyou, is this the terrain of Goguryeo?"
"Yes, that's it."
"Ziyou, what's the meaning of the scale on this map?" Fang Xuanling asked curiously.
"Fang Gong, this scale refers to the ratio of the length of this line segment to the actual length. The map drawn by my nephew has a scale of [-]:[-]. In other words, you can use a ruler to measure two The distance, multiplied by one hundred thousand, is the actual distance between the two places."
The map drawn by Li Wangyou is quite huge, so the scale is also very large.
A distance of one centimeter on the map is equivalent to a real distance of one hundred thousand centimeters, or 1000 meters.
Li Wangyou's explanation made everyone even more astonished.
"Ziyou, what do you mean, this map is exactly the same as the world? The distance between the two places can be measured from the map? How is this possible?" Gao Shilian shook his head immediately.
Not to mention that Gao Shilian didn't believe it, none of the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty believed it.
After all, the maps of China since ancient times have not been so accurate.
Although the map shown by Li Wangyou is really shocking to everyone, it seems that there are thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in front of them.
But it would be a fantasy to say that the distance between the two places can be known just by measuring it with a ruler on a map.
"If Gao Gong doesn't believe it, why don't you make a bet?" Li Wangyou said with a smile.
