As an emperor, especially an emperor who is called the Son of Heaven, everyone agrees with that statement,

All under heaven belongs to the king, and they all think that the whole world belongs to them.

But now, with his greater understanding, Li Shimin discovered that the world is getting bigger and bigger.

The Arabs, Persia, and Byzantium were thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, Li Shen actually told him that there is a place in the far west, and a place in the far west beyond.

It turns out that to the west of Dashi was where the Kunlun slaves lived, and further west was a magical continent.

"Aye, there's no such place on this map. How about I give it to you?"

"Okay, someone bring a big piece of paper."

Li Shimin nodded and put away the map.

Where did the maid get a long piece of paper? Li Shen picked up the pen and thought carefully. It would be impossible to draw a specific world map.

I didn't pay attention to this thing either.

However, he was still able to draw the general position and shape.

So Li Shen began to draw a rough diagram on the map according to his memory.

There is no way to be precise about the distance, it is just an approximate location.

After a while, Li Shen drew a rough outline.

"Aye, please look, this place is our Tang Dynasty, and this should be the territory of the Arabs now.

This circle is our area, to our west, where the Kunlun slaves live.

The resources here are also very rich, but they are all uncivilized savages.

This continent is the second largest in the world, so we named it Kunlun Nuzhou.

Our land is the largest place, and our Tang Dynasty is the most powerful here, so we call it Tang Province.

Aye is looking here, to the west of Kunlun Nuzhou, here and here is the rich land that my son just mentioned.

Divided into upper, lower, north and south, we call it Zhenguan South Province and Zhenguan North Province.

Li Shen not only explained the places to Li Shimin, but also gave names to these lands.

Why do we have to use someone else's name? Why can't we name ourselves?

Li Shimin and Li Chengqian were looking at the map carefully. They wanted to see how far it was:

"How far is this place from the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Shimin looked up and asked.

"Far away, but not too far away."

"What do you mean?"

Li Shimin didn't understand what Li Shen said, what did he mean by far and not far.

"Aye, do you remember when I told you that the land we are standing on is a big round ball?"

Li Shen had once told Li Shimin about the theory of the earth.

"That's true." Li Shimin recalled it.

But Li Shimin didn't quite believe it at that time.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the sky is round and the earth is square.

"Aye, what my son said is true. We are really on the same ball."

Li Shen emphasized again.

"Tenth brother, if we are on the ball, why is the earth flat? If people live under the ball, wouldn't they fall into the sky?"

Li Chengqian asked a soul-searching question, which is a question that everyone would have.

Li Shen didn't know how to explain gravity, not even he himself.

It is obviously unconvincing to say that the earth has gravity.

Li Shen began to think hard about how to make them believe, and suddenly Li Shen saw a bracket on the table.

This is a thing similar to a ruler, but the triangle is missing one side.

Li Shen removed the thing on top, picked up a clean brush again, and dragged it with the pen holder.

"Aye, big brother, watch carefully."

As he spoke, he swung the brush up faster and faster, and the bracket on it began to rotate around the brush.

"Aye, big brother, you see, this bracket is always rotating around this pen, but you see, even if the notch is facing upwards, it won't fall off.

This is because the pen in the middle is rotating.

The ball we kicked was also spinning far away, creating a suction force that sucked in everything above it."

Li Shen didn't know whether his explanation was correct.

He felt that this was probably what it meant.

Li Shimin and Li Chengqian are both like Dong but not Dong, but Li Shen is not entangled with it.

This is not important, his subsequent explanation is important.

"Aye, this is not important. What I want to say is that we sailed west from Datang, all the way west.

Go to Kunlun Nuzhou, and then head west from here to reach Zhenguan Nanzhou.

But if you go north from the East China Sea, walk here, and then continue east, you can reach Zhenguan Beizhou.

This side is close, but the risk is high. To the north is an extremely cold place, and to the east, it is more dangerous.

In fact, we can reach the destination by heading east, but it is easy to get lost in the vast ocean.

The sea is dangerous and there is a high risk of death.

I want to conquer Japan because it is the gateway to our East China Sea, and I will not allow others to sleep beside my bed.

They will definitely be a huge threat to us in the future, so we might as well just wipe them out."

Li Shen spoke eloquently, and Li Shimin and Li Chengqian roughly understood what Li Shen meant.

Li Chengqian fell into deep thought.

But Li Shimin was looking at the map seriously.

Li Shen saw Li Chengqian thinking and continued:

"Brother, the world is big and it changes very fast. Even if it's not for us,

We must also consider our future generations.

Thousands of years later, people may be able to reach for the moon in the sky and catch turtles in the oceans.

Going to heaven and into the earth is not impossible.

By then, distance will not be a problem. It may only take two hours to get from south to north."

"Arriving in two hours? Tenth brother, are you talking about gods?"

Li Chengqian laughed. It would take the Tang Dynasty more than ten days to travel from south to north even if they rode at full speed.

Li Shen actually said that it would arrive in two hours, that was truly amazing.

Li Shen didn't smile, but his expression was very serious:

"Brother, you are going to be the emperor, so don't have the same vision as ordinary people.

We need to take a longer-term view.

Before me, have you ever heard of people flying?

But now the hot air balloon I make can take people hundreds of feet away.

There is also something like cement, which can save 80% of the effort whether it is used to build houses, bridges, cities, or roads.

You haven't seen it before.

Brother, if you want to be an emperor, you must think of things that others dare not think of, and do things that others dare not do. "

"Yes, Old Ten is right." As soon as Li Shen finished speaking, Li Shimin agreed.

"Gao Ming, what Lao Shi said makes sense. You are going to be the emperor, so your vision must be higher and longer-term than theirs.

Only then can you see through what these people in the court are trying to do."

Li Shimin felt that what Li Shen said was very true. As an emperor, you cannot be short-sighted like your ministers. Otherwise, how can you fight with your ministers?

"Yes, I thank you for your teachings, and I also thank you for your guidance, my tenth brother."

Li Chengqian accepted it humbly. He knew that the two people in front of him were sincerely teaching him.

Different from other ministers.

"By the way, Lao Shi, this place is in the middle of the ocean and isn't very large. Where is this?"

Suddenly Li Shimin pointed to a place on the map and said.

(The updates in the past two days have been a bit slow, mainly because my information is all in the store, and I can't remember anything when I returned home. I'm very sorry.

Wish you:

A thousand miles a day, sailing with the wind, with clean hands and a high position

Three sails and five leaps to create a great business, make money all year round and have a broad financial path

Make friends from all corners of the world and earn more money

Seven stars shine brightly, good fortune comes, treasures pile up like mountains from all directions

Nine sons passed the imperial examinations and passed down the tradition of perfection to their offspring)

Don’t forget to urge the store to update, these two data have dropped dramatically.
