The "Geography" textbook that Li Eryan wanted to read was currently being "observed" by several scholars ~!
"Hiss ~! The earth under our feet is actually spherical ~? How is this possible ~? "
(Li Tai already knew that the earth was spherical, so he wasn't surprised at all when he saw these things.)
At first, Xiao Deyan didn't suppress his curiosity and quietly opened the book that Li Tai left behind. When he saw the first page, he couldn't help but exclaim. This inexplicable exclamation also attracted the attention of the two scholars beside him. However, Xiao Deyan couldn't care about this at this moment. He had already put all his attention into the book. He wanted to find out the truth ~!
The first chapter of the "Geography" textbook compiled by Li Zexuan talked about the earth and maps. After saying that the earth was spherical, Li Zexuan gave some evidence that could be given under the conditions of this era to prove that the earth was spherical.
After Xiao Deyan finished reading, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His head was buzzing. He originally wanted to refute the point of view in this book, but after reading this small chapter, he could no longer refute it. However, he found it hard to accept that the earth was spherical for a moment!
"Oh my god ~! The earth under our feet is so big ~! The Tang Empire only occupies such a small area ~! There are so many countries in the north, west, and south of the Tang Empire ~? "
"70% of the earth's surface is ocean, and 30% is land ~? How is this possible ~? "
"The meridian from the south to the north that passes through the Taiji Palace is called the prime meridian or the zero degree meridian. From the zero degree meridian to the east and west, it increases to 180 degrees. From the equator (0 degree latitude) to the north and south poles, it increases to 90 degrees. It divides the earth, and each part corresponds to a latitude and longitude ~! Hiss ~! Who wrote this book ~? "
"Who proposed the longitude and latitude ~? It's too bold. He wants to use the Tang Empire as a reference to divide the world ~! This idea ~! This boldness ~! It's simply amazing ~! "
At first, only two people were attracted, but when they saw the wonderful parts of the book, the three people exclaimed again and again. Finally, all the scholars in the room were attracted.
Gradually, as time went by, the people in the room were all shocked by the spirit of "pointing at the sky and drawing the earth". No one had ever told them that the earth was round, no one had ever told them how big the earth was, and no one had ever told them how big the earth was, or how many oceans and lands there were, and no one had ever divided the earth by latitude and longitude. Just by reading the first chapter of the book, these Grand Scholars felt that their worldview had been completely overturned, and they were still in a state of confusion.
"Scholar Xiao, His Majesty has sent someone here. He said that he wants to help Prince Wei take away the geography textbook that he was reading earlier!"
Just when everyone was shocked to the point of being speechless, a manservant walked in from outside and cupped his hands at Xiao Deyan.
Seeing that an outsider came in, to escape from the Tang Empire, to escape from the Tang Empire, Escape from the Tang Empire, Tang Empire was to the Tang Empire to the Tang Empire to Read the book..
After all, this book was Li Tai's private book. It was against the rules for them to read it without permission.
Xiao Deyan's face turned red. He stood up and looked at the servant and asked, "Geography teaching material ~? What geography teaching material ~? Did His Highness say it clearly ~? "
Although the servant felt that the atmosphere in the room was strange, he did not dare to raise any questions. He directly answered, "His Highness said that it was the book that he read earlier ~!"
Xiao Deyan suddenly understood. He picked up the book on the table and looked at it. He reluctantly handed it over and said, "Then it's this book. Take it and give it to the person sent by His Majesty ~!"
"Yes ~!"
The servant took it solemnly and then left.
Everyone in the room looked at each other. Xiao Deyan sighed and said, "So this book is called geography ~! It's really a peerless book ~! "
Another scholar also sighed and said, "Yes ~! Let's not talk about whether the things in this book are correct or not. The person who can come up with these ideas is definitely a peerless genius ~! Just this courage and boldness is something that this old man can't compare to! "
Xiao Deyan nodded in agreement and said, "Brother Xie's words are reasonable ~! I just don't know who wrote this book ~! How did it appear in the literature hall out of thin air ~? "
This Brother Xie was Xie Yan. He was also a scholar in Li Tai's literature hall. He was also one of the people who would revise and write "Zhi Di Zhi" in the future.
Xie Yan replied, "This book seems to have been sent to His Highness Prince of Wei by someone in the morning. After His Highness Prince of Wei received the book, he has been reading it. He didn't even eat lunch ~!"
Xiao Deyan frowned and said, "His Highness said that this book is a geography teaching material. What kind of literature hall would use this kind of teaching material ~? I have never heard of this before ~! "
Xie Yan thought for a while and suddenly shouted in shock, "Yanhuang College ~! Only a strange existence like Yanhuang College would use such a strange teaching material ~! Also, His Highness asked us to search for the past few days. It's very likely that it has something to do with this geography teaching material ~! "
When Xiao Deyan heard this, he agreed and said, "Brother Xie's analysis is right. If that's the case, then the person who wrote this book can only be …"
… … …
"Pointing to the sky and drawing the earth, dividing the world ~! This kid is really bold ~! Not bad, not bad ~! "
In the Sweet Dew Hall, Li Er received the "geography" book from Prince of Wei's residence. After reading it for half an hour, he clapped his hands and laughed.
The reason why he said it was not bad was mainly because Li Zexuan defined the zero meridian as the meridian that passed through Taiji Palace. This made Li Er, who valued the holy name, very proud and satisfied.
As for the theory that the earth was spherical, Li Tai had introduced it to him before. Now that he saw it written in the book, he wasn't too surprised.
"Is this a world map ~? Why does my Tang Empire only occupy such a small area ~? And why are there so many gaps in my Tang Empire's territory ~? "
Casually flipping through the teaching material, a large map instantly attracted Li Er's attention. After looking at it carefully for a while, Li Er raised his head and frowned.
Li Tai coughed and explained, "Father, although the Tang Empire has a vast territory, it's really only so big on Earth. As for why there are gaps, it's because Mr. Li doesn't know much about our Tang Empire's mountains, rivers, provinces, and counties, so he handed the task of perfecting this book to me ~! After receiving the book today, I'm planning to start perfecting it ~! "
Li Er nodded and stared at the map for a long time. Then, he raised his head and an indescribable expression flashed in his eyes. He said to Li Tai, "Good ~! Then, Qingque, you can go back ~! You must pay attention to the perfection of this book ~! "
