Chapter 557: Opening the Sea



......

After the court meeting, as expected, Fang Zhengyi was called to the imperial study.

Emperor Jing looked at him, who looked a little listless, and asked, "I am very curious, why are you so enthusiastic about opening the sea?"

"Your Majesty, do you still remember where sweet potatoes come from?" Fang Zheng asked.

"Of course I remember. It came from overseas. Do you want to tell me that there is sweet potato overseas, so maybe there is a powerful country without famine?" Emperor Jing asked back.

Fang Zhengyi was surprised and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, since you know this, why don't you agree to open the sea?"

"Because I don't believe such a thing exists, and it's not appropriate to report that sweet potatoes are the staple food."

"......"

"Dajing is the central country, surrounded by barbarians. Even if there are other countries overseas, what is there to be afraid of?" Emperor Jing said.

"Uh..." Fang Zhengyi didn't expect that the deepest reason was because of the emperor's self-confidence, so he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought that the earth under our feet is a sphere, and in fact any point could be the center."

Emperor Jing suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Fang Zhengyi with a bad face: "You told the Crown Prince that the earth under his feet is a ball? If you and that evil creature continue to have such nonsense, get out of the palace!"

I said the earth is round and you shouted at me to kill me!

Fang Zhengyi said sadly, "I was wrong. Your Majesty, I will go back to work first."

"Wait a moment." Emperor Jing regained his smile and said, "Don't leave in a hurry. I called you here for something else."

"Have you forgotten what I told you before you left? I can promise you one thing after the matter is done. Now tell me what the conditions are. I never lie!"

Fang Zhengyi's heartbeat quickened, and he asked nervously, "Really?"

......

It's late today, my dear brothers. I'm ready to work hard. If I don't update quickly tomorrow, I will definitely update quickly the day after tomorrow. If I update quickly the day after tomorrow, I will definitely update quickly the day after that. If the day after that... why don't you click to urge me to update quickly? !
