Chapter 240 Conception of the Emperor Yu's Complete Map: Lack of Paper.
Also, a person who has only been to Tongzhou Mansion next to Shuntian Mansion can draw a map outside the pass, isn't that a monster?
Also, Mongolia was a gathering place of nomads in ancient times. Nomads are people on horseback, and the whole family is a "floating population", okay?He drew something like the Xilin Gol League, can people wait for him where he is?
So Mongolia has to be deducted and drawn separately. He probably still remembers the map, but it is better than the current map.
The first thing to draw is to deduct Mongolia, Heilongjiang and other places, which are not yet part of Ming Dynasty.
There are even places without borders.
He has to avoid these.
However, he can also draw an entire map of the world.
Including Haiyang, Emperor Xianzong will know how small Daming is at that time.
After looking at some things, Wu Youwei found that the sea charts are very detailed, but it is difficult to integrate them. Many boxes have serial numbers, which are drawn in order from near to far, passing places.
At night, when Wantong came back, he didn't see Wu Youwei, but found that the courtyard next door was brightly lit, and he immediately knew that he was still watching.
"It's late at night, don't look at it." Wantong took away the chart in Wu Youwei's hand, and saw Wu Youwei's eyes were red.
Look at the afternoon, can the eyes not be red?
"Oh, is it already night?" In fact, it was just the beginning of the lights.
"Let's go." Wantong stretched out his hand to lead Wu Youwei, and returned to the Fushi Mansion.
The dinner was still light, but one braised elbow was enough for Wantong, and Wu Youwei laughed when he saw the braised elbow.
Wantong didn't understand, so he asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"I think of Elbow Island." Wu Youwei told him about the records of Elbow Island.
Wantong was also rarely in a good mood, and twitched the corners of his mouth: "Really?"
"That's right!" Wu Youwei said enthusiastically, "I'll show you when it's sorted out!"
"Well, eat it quickly!" Pull out the lean meat from the elbow and give it to Wu Youwei to eat some, but Wu Youwei didn't eat it, he still prefers to eat vegetables.
After dinner, Wantong didn't allow Wu Youwei to continue looking at the chart: "My eyes are all red."
He reached out and touched the corners of Wu Youwei's eyes: "It's uncomfortable to stay up late."
Wu Youwei blushed: "Got it, got it, let's stop watching.
You're an old man, why are you still being so sensational?
Wantong was happy, the two had nothing to do, Wantong decided to take Wu Youwei for a walk on the street: "The capital city at night is also very interesting.
"Then let's go!" Although it's cold at night, it's not bad to go for a walk at this time.
Although the night was colder, the streets in the capital were still very bustling, and there were many street stalls. Wu Youwei seldom went shopping at night. It's a lively scene, and they are all accompanied by people, so it's not convenient for him to appreciate it slowly.
It's different now, Wantong is accompanying him, walking slowly.
Wantong also pointed to an empty space and said: "When we arrive there, there will be an old couple setting up a wonton stall to satisfy the hunger of those who drive at night. Many times when we came back at night, we took their house After a long time, everyone has become familiar with the wontons, and their stalls have been fixed, and they are covered by brocade guards, and no one dares to come and play wild." Zishi was at eleven o'clock in the evening in ancient times, and at that time it should be Those who rest have long since rested.
"Then did you give me any money?" Wu Youwei remembered that some of the officials of the Ming Dynasty were really tough, but some were...too annoying.
"Every time we make a round, we will give ten taels of silver!" Wantong said with a smile: "It's not easy for the old couple. There is only one daughter in the family, married an honest man, and runs a grocery store. The old couple is their son-in-law. I am raising a stall, I just don’t want to eat and drink for free at my daughter’s house every day.”
The son-in-law and the others have also investigated. How can they not investigate the place where Jinyiwei often eats?He is indeed an honest person, but his daughter is a powerful one. She gave birth to two boys in one go. The eldest took her husband's surname, the second took her surname, and the third and fourth were girls. With the last name of the parents.
Wu Youwei was dumbfounded when he heard this: There were such powerful women in ancient times, but he always thought that women in the Ming Dynasty were very...feudal.
"There are some sturdy Hedong lions, you haven't seen them yet!" Wantong took the opportunity to say to Wu Youwei: "Just say that the Bai family who is dead, if Baizhen forces her, is she really incapable of refusing? It's just climbing high branches.
He also recommended many people, and Wu Youwei even found out that there was another woman who ran away with someone in his nursing home!
The reason is that the nursing home is not at home every now and then, and the woman couldn't bear the loneliness, so she ran away with someone, but the end was very miserable. The person who abducted her was not a kind person, and after defrauding the woman of all her money, he sold her into a brothel Chu Guan was still a brothel in a remote place. When they found it, the woman cried bitterly after seeing her husband, and finally fell to her death.
"What's the use of crying?" Wantong said coldly, "I knew when I got married that it was normal for him to go out on errands, and he was not allowed to inquire at home. It's just that he couldn't help it after not coming back for a year. The salary that the Yamen gave him was taken over by that woman, and the result? He couldn’t help being lonely and stole someone, that’s all, and ran away with him! Would you live better if you ran away? People have been cheated and sold, what the hell!"
"Stupid!" Wu Youwei also felt that the woman had no brains: "Could she be threatened?"
"Threat?" Wantong snorted: "She lives in a place similar to this, surrounded by Jin Yiwei's spies, if she yells, the intruder will be torn alive!"
So it was voluntary, and they had already asked that scumbag about it.
"Then she is...really out of her mind." Wu Youwei shook his head: "In this world, there are good women, but there are also many bad women!"
"That's why, it's better not to touch women or anything." Wantong kept instilling in him the concept of "women are tigers", so that Wu Youwei was even less interested in women in the future.
Just the thought of their tiny feet...is creepy!
As soon as you touch them... it's extremely awkward!
It's so sad, in the end Wu Youwei can only use big-footed servant girls, and all the small-footed and pretty maids are gone!
This makes many people can't understand, why?
Even if you don't really want to do something, is it more pleasing to the eyes of a maid with a delicate appearance?
Wantong took Wu Youwei to another street, where many stalls had been set up and the shops were brightly lit.
The two became interested in shopping, so they didn't go back. Instead, they walked farther and farther. It probably took a while. After walking tired, they happened to come to a stall selling mutton soup. The owner didn't look like a Han.
Wantong saw him looking at the boss, and explained: "This is a barbarian, but the mutton soup is very good, how about a bowl?"
By the way, rest your feet, I have nothing, but this person can't, a scholar, how can he have such good legs?
Wu Youwei didn't even realize it, but he actually walked slower and slower, just because he was tired.
The weather was cold, and many people drank mutton soup to keep warm, and a strong smell of pepper hit their faces.
"Okay!" Wu Youwei nodded: "Put more pepper.
Wantong took him to find a place and sat down. The barbarian boss knew Wantong and knew that he was a high-ranking official. He didn't know exactly what he was doing, but it was true that he couldn't offend him.
So I personally picked the meat and cut it, and poured hot mutton soup with coriander and chopped green onion.
Coriander is what he calls it, which is actually coriander.
Not only that, but also asked his daughter-in-law to bring over two freshly baked naans, and respectfully delivered them to Wantong's table: "My lord, please use them."
kindness. Wantong casually took out copper coins to pay the bill.
The barbarian boss accepted it respectfully, and then withdrew, but he didn't let anyone come to the corner to disturb the adults' meal.
Wu Youwei took a sip of the mutton soup: "It's delicious!"
"Eat naan, this kind of thing is their unique staple food." Wantong also pointed to the naan to Wu Youwei: "It's a bit hard.
"It's delicious!" Wu Youwei recognized the naan, which is a staple food unique to ethnic minorities. It is said that it can last for more than a year in the dry environment of the desert.
And this naan is obviously improved, using sheep oil, sprinkled with pepper and sesame seeds, and baked crispy and delicious.
Mutton soup with naan, the two of them had a warm meal, and continued to stroll around after eating, and there were also many people who came out at night, but everyone here knows that this is the residential area of Jinyiwei, and no one dares to come here presumptuous.
After wandering around for a long time before going back, Wu Youwei was tired after washing, and fell asleep directly lying on the bed. Wantong dried his hair before hugging him to sleep. Sleeping without drying his hair would cause headaches.
Nothing was done that night, but Wantong understood Wu Youwei's hard work. Although he didn't know why Wu Youwei had to ask for those charts, Wu Youwei was not a random person. Since he wanted them, he must be there. usefulness.
The next day Wu Youwei found a paper-making workshop and asked if they could make larger paper.
"How big do you want?" The workshop owner said proudly: "My workshop is inherited from the ancestors, and the craftsmanship is quite good."
Wu Youwei thought for a while and made gestures. He wanted a piece of paper the size of a wall.
The owner of the workshop looked at him with crazy eyes: "This...Master, you should go to another house to see."
Because Wu Youwei is an adult, and he has already performed the coronation ceremony, wearing a jade crown on his head, wearing a dark blue robe, looking very graceful, but helplessly, he is a confused...
Wu Youwei was also helpless, he couldn't find two of them, and when he went back to eat at noon, he was listless and lacked energy.
"What's the matter?" Wantong looked at his listless look: "Have you been bullied?"
"No, I want to find a place to make big paper, but there is no place..." Wu Youwei told Wantong as if he had found a bosom friend.
"Leave it to me. What do you want to do by making a piece of paper as big as a wall?" Wantong was enough, so he agreed first without knowing what to do, and then remembered to ask: "What is the requirement? Water absorption? Smoothness?"
"...smooth and water-absorbent!" Wu Youwei's request was even more bizarre: "Jade color is the main color, not too thin.
"Okay." Wantong nodded.
"I want to draw a sea map, um, a world map, and a complete map of Ming Dynasty's Imperial Yu." Wu Youwei said: "The first one is to draw a complete map of Imperial Yu.
"The whole picture of the emperor?" Wantong was shocked... Is it okay? "
"Yes!" Wu Youwei said, "But I need your help.
"I'll tell the emperor first." Wantong said, "He needs to know, otherwise, if you draw the whole picture of the emperor's house without authorization, and you will be accused of conspiracy, you will be unable to speak clearly."
"Well...well, I should say something." Wu Youwei didn't think about it that much for a while, and only after Wantong reminded him that this era is not his era, and some things involved are very "sensitive".
Especially the map thing, you can buy a map of the whole country in any bookstore in later generations, it seems as incredible as the Arabian Nights here.
In fact, Wantong thinks more: "It would be better if you become a Jinshi after the test, and donate your things after the palace test.
Let everyone know how talented Wu Youwei is!
"Do you think it's painting?" Wu Youwei almost sprayed him with blood when he heard him say this: "I mean drawing is not fake, but I don't know how to make it. I also need to explore a little bit. Will I try again? I guess I will After passing the Jinshi examination, it is not bad to be able to draw the next half.
If the arrow shoots the head bird, if he can draw it casually, it will not be precious.
Besides, he also needs some reference materials. The Library Pavilion of the Hanlin Academy is the place he most yearns for, and he can find a lot of things there.
His goal is to pass the Jinshi examination, enter the Imperial Academy for further study, and by the way... check the information!
