The scholars of Da Qi clamored all day long that Da Qi was the Celestial Empire and the center of the world, but judging from this map, Da Qi was not really the center.
This bombardment of information across generations is simply terrifying.
For a moment, the entire hall was silent, and even Li Zhuo was stunned.
He stared at the map in front of him in disbelief, looked at the location and area of Da Qi, and then looked at the entire world. He was stunned for a moment.
However, after a brief silence, the entire court suddenly exploded without any warning.
The officials of the Great Qi were going crazy. The scholars kept claiming that they cared about the world, but now it seems that most of the scholars probably don’t even know what the world is like.
This world map at this moment made the officials present feel like monkeys.
Some even knelt on the ground in a state of collapse, saying, "Your Majesty, this is impossible. Our Great Qi must be the Celestial Empire, the center of the world. Liang Licang is a vicious man. This map he fabricated is absolutely nonsense. I beg you to execute Liang Licang and his entire family!"
For a while, there were endless calls to kill Liang Licang. It seemed that many people had their world views shattered by this incident.
Fortunately, there are still some understanding people in the court, and the more powerful they are, the more understanding they are.
After these clowns finished shouting, Ke Fuji stood up and looked at Liang Licang with a sullen face. He said, "Sir Liang, where did you get this map? Can you verify its authenticity?"
Kefu was very upset. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing.
In the past, when people burned memorial tablets to offer sacrifices to heaven, they always said that Da Qi was the Celestial Empire and the center of the world.
But now that the map is out, if it's true, what should we do during future sacrifices to heaven? Should we change it?
If I want to change it, how should I change it? Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.
Liang Licang was the Minister of Revenue, and he didn't care about the life and death of the Ministry of Rites, so he nodded with a smile and said, "This thing must be real, because the Imperial Master specifically told me to go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to get it after I return."
At this point, Liang Licang bowed to Li Zhuo and said, "Your Majesty, if nothing unexpected happens, this is the world map. This map was personally organized and compiled by the Imperial Master. To create this map, the Imperial Master traveled to Quanzhou and obtained countless sea charts from merchants, comparing them and finally completing this rare treasure."
A rare treasure?
Everyone looked at the map at the same time, and couldn't help but nodded.
Although the material of the world map is not very precious, the information it carries is priceless.
In a world where all nations have little knowledge of the world, suddenly bringing out such a detailed map must be a priceless treasure! Didn’t you see that Gondor and the others were about to pop their eyes out?
In the current Da Qi court, everyone has some kind of stress reaction when they hear the words Lu Chen or the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
But everyone had to admit that Lu Chen's character was still very strong, and he was not the only one who had the final say at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Especially in the School of Literature, there were still many Confucian scholars.
If Lu Chen fabricated this, the first one to disagree would be the School of Arts.
Now that this map can be taken out and displayed in the court for everyone to see, it means that the School of Literature also recognizes the authenticity of this map.
This is a disaster. If this map is real, many things will have to be changed.
"The Imperial Master told me that he had previously wanted to send a ship out to sea in search of overseas wealth, but you all blocked his way. He thought that everyone must have no concept of the world, so he drew this map."
"Everyone, look here! It's marked with what kind of good things are found in which places. The Imperial Master is truly a god."
"Mr. Zhu from the Faculty of Arts is here today. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask him. Your Majesty, please allow him to come to the palace."
What else could he say? Li Zhuo agreed immediately.
After Mr. Zhu came up, he held a blackboard stick in his hand and calmly explained a lot of knowledge about world geography to the group of Muggles in front of him.
He also said that the Chinese Academy of Sciences will offer a special geography course in the future, where students will learn about things on maps.
All the civil and military officials in the court were excited, and those who had children at home were now racking their brains to think about how to send their children to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
It was also at this time that Jiang Tao, who was staring at the map in a daze, suddenly exclaimed, attracting countless people to look over here.
If it were in the past, Jiang Tao would not have lost his composure like this, but today he pointed at the map with extreme fear and said, "Look, these two sides seem to match up, they can be combined!"
Everyone was stunned at first, and then they hurriedly looked at the map.
Soon, more and more people discovered that the left and right sides of the map seemed to match.
Could it be that the earth we live on is round?
The court was in complete chaos!
