Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1120 History is a pretty girl

  Fat in winter, lose weight in summer, life is such a toss.

  Fei Qian is now in a state of fattening. Anyway, in winter, no matter who, at least in the current Han Dynasty, is not qualified to challenge nature.

  However, Fei Qian is still very happy now, and I am very fortunate, because at the beginning, he did not make a move to keep Liu Xie in Luoyang, otherwise Fei Qian should be the one who is tossing now.

  No matter when, there are always such a group of people clamoring for your own good, and then rushing to you to point fingers, because they feel that you have not followed the path in their minds.

  When Feiqian heard the news that Liu Xie and Yang Biao were having a quarrel, he couldn't help but smile. Yang Biao must have had a headache. Of course, Liu Xie is not a fool, and he also knows how to use some means, saying that he caught the corruption of the general minister, and then severely reprimanded the general minister, and then dismissed him in court.

   Even though Yang Biao was present, under such circumstances, he couldn’t keep the general minister. Although everyone knew that the general minister embezzled iron ingots, it wasn’t for Yang Biao’s smooth formation of a new army?

  Fei Qian can now feel Yang Biao's dilemma.

   Not only that, but Fei Qian also sent people to publicize Liu Xie's anti-corruption campaign, just like the officials who were left in history when Liu Xie noticed the corruption in the porridge factory...

  To be honest, there are many doubts about Liu Xie's porridge investigation.

At that time, it was said that there were many refugees in Chang'an City, so Liu Xie ordered the opening of Taicang to release grain and cook porridge. Then he found that the imperial servant Hou Wen was corrupt, so he sent people to take five liters of rice and five liters of beans to cook porridge, saying If he could cook two pots, it proved that the imperial servant Hou Wen was corrupt, so he beat Hou Wen with fifty court rods, and then the refugees in Chang'an City received sufficient relief...

Let’s not say that cooking two pots of porridge is definitely better than one pot of porridge. The thickness of porridge is not only related to water, but also to many things. The most important thing is whether Liu Xie has the right to order the opening of Taicang ?

  In history, when Li and Guo were still occupying Chang'an and the court, then Liu Xie had the power to mobilize the most important supplies in the army and take out the grain and grass in Taicang?

   Doesn't this mean that Liu Xie is in charge of the food bag that can affect the army of Dao, Li and Guo at any time?

   Hehe, history.

  But doubts remain doubts, a wave of advocacy is still possible, at least it can add some embarrassment to Yang Biao.

Fei Qian leisurely picked up the warm wine on the small red clay stove, then poured himself a bowl, and then looked at Pang Tong who was almost lying on the table, and saw him staring at the table intently Looking at the world map on the screen, he looked as if he was wandering away, so he smiled and didn't bother him, picked up the bowl by himself, and drank slowly.

  Water wine that has not been completely filtered, like fermented glutinous rice of later generations, sweet and sour, with alcohol, but not high.

   This is brewed from the corn harvested in the new year. In order to thank the reform of the land tax under the rule of Fei Qian, ordinary farmers have turned in less output, and there is some surplus. Some elders in the countryside, after harvesting new corn, brewed it for two or three months, and then sent it to Feiqian in person as a token of their hearts.

  Of course, another meaning is to bribe Feiqian, saying that the current agricultural policy is very good, and I hope that Feiqian can continue to maintain it. As long as you see these corn wine, you can remember the benefits of the folks and elders...

"Hey! I never thought that the world is so big!" Pang Tong suddenly slapped the table table, perhaps because his mind was agitated, his lips were a little dry, and he picked up the wine bowl on the table table to drink, but found that the last time He drank it all up, stretched out his hand without thinking, and said like ordering the attendant, "Here comes the wine! It's a good drink!"

Xu Shu on the side also laughed, and didn't care about Pang Tong's rudeness, but picked up the wine spoon and added it to Pang Tong, just like when he was under the deer mountain. Although he was also related to Pang Gong, he was more like an elder brother Taking care of my younger brother.

  Pang Tong gulped down the drink, and after taking a long breath, he finally came back to his senses, then reacted, put down the wine bowl in embarrassment, and cupped his hands towards Xu Shu.

  Xu Shu smiled and said that there is no need to care about it: "When I first saw this picture of Junhou, I was also fascinated, and I could hardly control myself!"

The maps of the Han Dynasty are like family heirlooms. Even the skill of drawing maps can support the family and be passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, there are great differences between maps and maps. There is no common scale ratio. one question.

  Of course, this is only one of the more serious problems, and there are other aspects.

   "However, my lord..." Pang Tong said, "...where did this picture come from?"

  Fei Qian looked up to the sky and made a haha, and said: "Where did you come from... This can't be said, it can't be said... But what I can say is that this picture may be flawed in details, but the general outline should be correct..."

The details are naturally impossible to complete, and for Fei Qian, the world map in memory is actually for the convenience of drawing in later generations, and for a more intuitive expression, so a so-called "horizontal Maishi projection" is used. "Map" drawing method, because the earth is generally round, but it is necessary to project a three-dimensional surface onto the plane, and it must be connected without division, so this method can only be used.

  However, the result of such mapping is that the land size of high-latitude countries is seriously distorted. To be precise, the higher the latitude, the more serious the enlargement.

  As for how the map came about, Fei Qian couldn't say.

  Pang Tong and Xu Shu looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. Fei Qian has no choice but to hang Fei Qian up and torture him...

When the status reaches a certain level, there is no need to emphasize words such as "please believe me" and "what I say is true" every day. Although Fei Qian is not an emperor now, to a certain extent, what he said If it is true, it is the truth in Bingbei.

  So Pang Tong gave up entanglement with Fei Qian about the origin of this map, but chose to believe it, because he thinks this problem, if Fei Qian will say it in the future, he will say it, and there are naturally reasons why he can’t say it now...

   "... Junhou... Where is Dawan located?" Pang Tong turned his attention to the world map and asked suddenly.

  Fei Qian stretched out his head, then nodded near Central Asia, and said irresponsibly: "It's almost here..."

  As for the children of the Han people, if we talk about other countries, they are more or less not interested in it, but they have always had an extreme desire for Dawan country.

...

  The deeds of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's expedition to the Dawan Kingdom are naturally engraved in the hearts of every son of the Han Dynasty.

  "What? Dawan is here?!" Pang Tong raised his head abruptly, then looked down at the map, gestured and said, "This...this...is only half..."

Xu Shu also came over, looked at it, and said: "The country of Dawan, governing the mountain city of Gui, goes to Chang'an for 12,550 miles... In this way, the end of the Western Regions is... um... 25,000 miles away... inside?"

   "Puff..." Fei Qian was drinking a small wine, and almost couldn't hold back the words, and popped out, after all, this word is too familiar.

  The number of distances on the map of the Han Dynasty is another huge problem, and it is very random. Just like the values ​​in the Shan Hai Jing, it is an approximate number and cannot be taken seriously at all.

After all, Zhang Qian alone has the final say on the book of the Western Regions. No one has the right to say that Zhang Qian is lying about how many kilometers there are. In the beginning, there were people who were dedicated to measuring distances, which was somewhat reasonable. When there were no more people in the later stage, and they were in a state of fleeing, would they still want to measure distances?

   "This... almost..." Fei Qian can only say this. Because Fei Qian really doesn't know how far the Pamirs are.

  Pang Tong frowned, but said with some dissatisfaction: "It was almost the same before, and it is the same now. I said you are a gentleman, and there are a few more similar, let's talk about it together..."

Fei Qian laughed loudly and said, "How can you blame someone? It's pretty good for me to know this!" It really cannot be said that Fei Qian is not authentic, because there is no specific data in this regard in the original memory, let alone There are many changes in the records in ancient documents, and it is even more confusing, with different opinions.

   As far as the country of Great Qin is concerned, Fei Qian originally thought it was Persia or Rome, but it is not the case. The name "Great Qin" represented different countries and regions in each dynasty. At present in the Han Dynasty, the Great Qin refers to the northeast region of India, and then the Great Qin of the Tang Dynasty became Persia, the Great Qin of the Song Dynasty actually refers to the Seljuks, and the Great Qin of the Ming Dynasty refers to the Ottoman Empire...

   Who can blame this special meow?

   Fei Qian seemed to be able to hear many historians hiding in the coffin, laughing.

  The Chinese historians are like this, in fact, the people who write history abroad are also the same...

"Let's not talk about these specific values. This is just an outline map. When the dispatched people come back, I will add it slowly..." Fei Qian decided to divert Pang Tong's attention from the details, put down the wine bowl, and said, "Actually, there is one thing that needs to be said..."

"The big man is very strong!" Fei Qian looked at Pang Tong and Xu Shu seriously, and then said, "Even in the next few hundred years, or even thousands of years, we Chinese people, whether it is the way of farming and mulberry or the art of craftsman , are the best in the world..."

   "This is natural!" Pang Tong shook his head and said, "The strong man lives in the center, and there has been a certain number since ancient times!"

Fei Qian shook his head, and said: "It's not a definite number, but an inheritance. The person who inherits it is you and me, and even all the people in the world who know characters. It's a stroke, a trickle, a trickle, and a piece of ancient civilization. It has been handed down to this day... you and I should be the inheritance of China, win a drink!"

  Hearing this, the three happily raised their wine and drank a bowl.

"...The knowledge that China has inherited far surpasses everything in this world... But these treasures were not created by one family, but by the joint efforts of all people in China..." Fei Qian put down his wine bowl, was silent for a while, and then said, " …Right now, there are already some bad signs…The Chinese civilization is shared by all the Chinese people in the world, so how can it be a thing that belongs to one family? Such a foolish strategy will eventually harm the country and cause disaster for thousands of years..."

   On the one hand, to govern the country, scholars are needed, but at the same time, scholars must be ruled and shackles should be put on the scholars, so in the end a freak has formed.

Fei Qian has always had some doubts, the so-called civilization, in fact, is to have the ins and outs, generally speaking, it is impossible to have any sudden leap, but the European natives were still catching witches and burning them to death one moment, and the next moment Suddenly there was a renaissance?

   Time travel?

   Of course, such a possibility cannot be ruled out.

   But there is a more reliable guess.

  The state of scientific and technological development after the European Renaissance cannot be used to prove the ignorant and barbaric state of Europe before the 15th century AD. In other words, the civilization of Europe was after the 15th century, that is, the Renaissance. This is the truth, so where does this Renaissance knowledge come from?

  A white lotus blooming out of ignorance and chaos?

  There is a saying in later generations, which is very interesting, and Feiqian still remembers it deeply—it is said that two complete versions of "Yongle Canon" were hidden and stored in later generations, and one was kept privately by the Holy See of the Vatican, which is called true wisdom. A replica set is in Israel, hidden in a place known as Solomon's Treasure…

  Anyway, the Europeans have smeared themselves on this matter. They claim to have inherited the civilization of the Romans and Greeks, but in fact, no one can fully prove this until later generations. Most of the so-called ancient temples were reworked by later generations in the 18th and 19th centuries.

  Like the so-called ancient city of Palmyra in Syria, there was only one pillar at the beginning, and after the French renovated and repaired it around 1960, it became a large group of magnificent buildings. A city that was abandoned in the 18th century, with only one pillar left, Europeans actually created grand palaces and cities...

  In the ancient civilizations of the West, there is no such thing as Greece and Rome, let alone the slightest relationship with Europeans, so the vast majority of people in Europe in the Han Dynasty should still belong to the purely indigenous state...

  The so-called Arabic books by Europeans did not originally exist. Europeans themselves fabricated European history on the pretext of Arab records. In fact, there are no so-called Arabic records. It is a pity that the Arabs are responsible.

  As long as you ask the source of the so-called "History of Rome", "History of Greece", and "General History of the World", they will all be one sentence, and the original has been lost. Since the original has been lost, where is the so-called record?

  In the Arabic historical materials, there are no words such as Byzantium and Eastern Rome at all, only the Roma, Istanbulites, Turks, Sudanese, etc., and then after the European translation and publication, it became Byzantium and Eastern Rome...

"This world is very big..." Fei Qian said leisurely to the thoughtful Pang Tong and Xu Shu, "But after all, you and I have a limited lifespan, so maybe this generation can't see it... But I think, maybe we can pass on these things Go on, let the next generation, or even the next generation, go out and see what the world is like... Of course, the premise is that we have to spread these, just like Zhuanghe sowed in spring, so that one day it will change. Be wine before us..."
