Do not use it unless you have to.
And under the current conditions, the possibility of success is extremely small.
Sun Simiao needs to study along this path, and there is still too much work to do.
After Sun Simiao left, Cheng Mingzhen and Du Gou who had just returned to Chang'an came to see him.
After reminiscing about the past, Du Gou also talked about more important things this time.
That is, the huge wharf and dock in Cangzhou have been completed.
And so far, more than a dozen giant ships capable of long-distance sailing have been produced.
The sailors and sailors in Cangzhou have also been trained for more than two years.
So he wanted to ask Li Qiu if he could start a long voyage.
At this time, Li Qiu smiled, and took out an old sheepskin map from the bookcase (made by Wu Sui, it is only a part of the world map of later generations).
"Come here, both of you, to see this chart."
"This is a precious treasure handed down from my teacher."
"It records some things that I set out from the sea area of Datang and sailed eastward all the way."
"Look, this is Luoyang, the eastern capital, and this is our dock in Cangzhou."
"In our knowledge, Goguryeo, the country of Wa, which is the farthest from Cangzhou, is only a short distance away."
"Besides this, there is an infinite sea that far exceeds the territory of my Tang Dynasty."
"In this sea area, there are turbulent waves and various underwater creatures that are bigger than boats."
"There are endless dangers, and there are endless new treasures."
"So, compared with this real sea voyage, the preparations we have made so far are far from enough."
"This time, when you return to Cangzhou, I will let Zhang Yajiu, Gong Shuyang and other skilled craftsmen return with you."
"And the iron workshops, wooden squares, and mines in Youzhou are also fully at your disposal."
"You have to build bigger, stronger, faster ships."
"Such as adding copper plating and alloying to the hull and bottom of the ship."
"Introduce a second power source besides wind power."
"Also, we can add our red cannons to ships and so on."
"Of course, what you have done so far is already very good, and I am very satisfied."
"After you go back, you can also train these already built ships."
"And proficient in using the compass and familiar with the map, etc."
Listening to Li Qiu's words, he looked at the sheepskin navigation chart on the table.
Especially feeling the vast endless world depicted by Li Qiu.
Du Gou and Cheng Mingzhen have a sense of déjà vu as a frog in a well.
At the same time, he respected Li Qiu and the great teacher behind Li Qiu to the extreme.
time flies.
The time for Xiao Li Wan's full moon will come soon.
Now Wu Jue has returned to normal.
Only the not-so-beautiful scar on her belly made her a little unhappy.
But being able to survive with her daughter and continue to be by her husband and parents is the happiest thing.
This year, too many sad and dark things have happened in Great Tang, especially in Chang'an City and the royal family.
Therefore, Princess Taiping Li Wan is full moon, and the imperial court also attaches great importance to it.
In addition to lowering a very large reward.
Li Shimin, Empress Changsun, and a group of important court officials also went to the East Palace to celebrate.
At this time, Li Shimin, who was in a good mood, also immediately proposed.
There are so many famous Confucian talents present, so we can only pick out those who are talented in literature and good at calligraphy.
Come to offer a congratulatory message to Princess Taiping.
As for the crown prince, Li Qiu, he had the talent and fame of Mr. Xiaoyao.
Now it's the eldest daughter's full moon again, so naturally she can't fall.
Upon hearing Li Shimin's words, everyone naturally laughed and echoed, applauding.
Chapter 1072 Wang Xizhi Calligraphy Bag
On the one hand, for Li Qiu's poems.
That is universally recognized as good.
Especially this trip to Tuyuhun, the yellow sand made by Li Qiu will wear gold armor in all battles, and he will never return it until he breaks Loulan.
It has become popular in Chang'an, even Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others praised it again and again.
So this time, they are also looking forward to what kind of gorgeous poems Li Qiu will produce here.
At the same time, everyone could hear the irony in Li Shimin's words.
Although Li Qiu is recognized as talented in poetry, his writing has always been criticized by others.
Simply unsightly.
Like before, Li Qiu was very tired and lazy, and he didn't care about fame and wealth, and he even disdained other people's eyes.
Anyway, I'm a general, why don't you come and compete with me with swords and guns?
Those with bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes.
But now that Li Qiu has become the prince, his status has changed a lot.
Li Shimin also wanted to take this opportunity to let Li Qiu know his shame and be brave, so that he could practice calligraphy after returning home.
After all, as the prince of a country, the future king of the Tang Dynasty, it is unreasonable to always write such words.
Ever since, Li Shimin also selected several people as foils.
Fang Xuanling, Chu Suiliang, Cen Wenwen, Ouyang Xun, Linghu Defen and others.
These few are all recognized as top-notch calligraphers, talented and knowledgeable.
It can be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Soon, their congratulatory speeches were written.
Li Shimin personally took the lead in watching and commenting.
In particular, in front of Li Qiu, he commented on the calligraphy of these people one by one.
Li Shimin himself has always loved calligraphy and is quite famous in history.
His comments were also very exciting, attracting praise and praise from everyone.
Then, when a series of atmosphere was finished.
All eyes were on Li Qiu.
Next, it was the turn of His Highness the Crown Prince to appear on the stage.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Li Qiu at this moment is calm and confident.
Smiling, he stood in front of the table.
There is also an abnormal self-confidence around him, as if he is a master-level aura.
Seeing him so bluffing at the moment, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Tang Jian and others who knew him wanted to laugh.
This boy Li Qiu has always been so confident and likes to mess around.
At the same time, they have already prepared the next words of earnest teaching in their hearts.
Compared with them, the other courtiers did not expect Li Qiu's calligraphy in their hearts at all.
That kind of font is simply eye-catching.
But that is His Royal Highness after all, my future lord!
After a while, even if the written words are too hot, you still have to try your best to give some face and praise.
Ever since, under the eyes of everyone without any expectations.
Li Qiu picked up the pen very freely, but felt extremely helpless and distressed in his heart.
In order to deal with these people, he spent another [-] system points.
A set of Wang Xizhi's font package was exchanged.
Nowadays, his own system points are too precious.
If there is such a waste of calligraphy, wouldn't it be nice to build a steam engine by yourself?
Although the slander belongs to the slander, but now my font package has been exchanged.
With so many people watching, I still have to write!
Ever since, under the eyes of everyone.
Li Qiu composes a poem in one go.
The eldest son returns to the stars, and the grandson is full of moon cups.
Singing songs and singing Lin Zhis together, Xiao Guan and Feng Chiu come.
The year-old torch is often laurel, and the spring plate is pre-folded plum.
The holy emperor will live forever, and the imperial tower will open at dawn.
After concentrating on finishing the poem in one breath, Li Qiu suddenly found out.
The entire arena became silent.
At this moment, he was so angry.
After all, I put a lot of effort into writing this thing, so you guys should give me some face and praise it, right?
Also, could it be that the properties of the Wang Xizhi font package I just bought are wrong?
Is there something different?
Actually, Li Qiu didn't know.
Just when he was completely integrated and concentrated on writing verses.
What a frightening change has taken place around.
Originally, the atmosphere today was very festive and lively.
But when Li Qiu wrote the first word, the people in the circle closest to him suddenly fell silent.
And Fang Xuanling, who was seriously replying to Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji's words, just glanced back subconsciously.
The whole person is also like petrified, it just froze there.
If he hadn't seen the sudden change in his pupils and the sweat on his forehead, Li Shimin would have thought something was wrong with him?
Later, the strange situation here also attracted more people's attention.
When Wei Zheng, Cen Wenwen, Linghu Defen and others came around, Li Qiu had already written several large characters.
And is still writing.
"This...this...this..."
At this moment, they were already in disbelief, and they were so shocked that they couldn't even speak.
Seeing this abnormal scene, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji, who were chatting freely, squeezed closer curiously.
But when they saw the handwriting written by Li Qiu, the two of them subconsciously looked at each other.
