Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 195 Hit me if I said the earth is round
The Emperor's lord sat on the seat with a golden knife and a horse, pondering over this novel vocabulary.

"Jia Xiaosan, tell me, what is the empire on which the sun never sets?"

Uh……

Jia Cong suddenly felt remorseful about digging a hole and burying himself, scratching his head and faltering: "This...that...your majesty...the minister thinks...uh..."

Ok?
Liu Heng looked curiously at the hesitant little black fat boy, this kid is not a person who can hide his words.

"Just say what you have, it's not your character to hesitate."

"That minister said it..."

Jia Cong stirred his fingers, glanced at the emperor secretly, and murmured, "Actually, the ground under our feet is round!"

"Well, then what?"

What Jia Cong didn't expect was that his shocking remarks caused no disturbance to the two people in the room.

He widened his eyes and said, "I mean, the ground under our feet is round!"

Liu Heng also felt baffled at this moment, the earth is round, is this worth repeating?
"I know, what then?"

Jia Cong was stunned, and he asked inexplicably, "Your Majesty knows? How is this possible?"

"The "Annotation to the Armillary Sphere" contains that the sky is like a chicken, and the earth is like the yolk in an egg. Living alone, the sky is big and the earth is small. And Zeng Zi asked, if the sky is round and the earth is round, the four corners are not hidden."

Liu Hong threw out several supporting evidences for the theory of the circle of the earth, and asked suspiciously: "The New Book of Revolutionary Elephant written by Zhao Youqin in the former dynasty said: Although the earth is perfectly round, its circle cannot be seen for hundreds of miles or tens of miles. Straight injection, can’t circle around. Try to go boating in rivers and lakes, but you can see swells where the boat goes, but you can’t see the head when the water comes, and you can’t see the end when the water goes. The curve is not an obstacle. The height of the North Pole and the timing of the lunar eclipse in the east and west are all evidence that the earth is perfectly round, and the degree of the earth corresponds to the degree of the sky."

Under Xueba's repeated blows, Xueba turned into Xuemo, and Xueba accidentally pricked Xuemo's heart again.

Liu Hong's eyes were full of doubts: "The earth is round, and it has existed since ancient times. Why is Brother Cong making such a fuss?"

It sounds so powerful, but the little black fat man can only understand a little bit.Jia Cong felt that there was a big question mark drawn on his forehead, and he was not ashamed to ask: "Fourth brother, I don't understand, what do you say?"

"No learning, no skills, Jia Enhou really can't teach children!"

The emperor first despised the education level of the elder She, and then explained to Jia Cong the theory of the circle of the earth since ancient times.

Jia Cong, who attended a class on astronomy and geography, was about to cry. He originally thought that he would be tied to the stake and burned to death when he said that the earth was round. He was the ignorant scum... No, he was the one. Xuemo.

"Now you can tell me, what is the empire on which the sun never sets?"

Jia Cong, who was hit hard, cheered up again, pointed to the chart on the ground, circled the rich land, and said impassionedly: "Your Majesty, this is Tianzhu, this is Persia, this is Europa, this is the Cape of Good Hope, and this is America. ...These places should belong to Great Xia and you. Is there any land in the world, Your Majesty should take all these fertile lands into his pocket."

Jia Cong held his fist and turned around the chart: "Your Majesty, if you compare your fist to the sun, no matter when and where the sun is, there will always be a part of the territory of the Celestial Dynasty. This is what the minister said. The empire on which the sun never sets!"

"The empire on which the sun never sets... Interesting!"

Liu Heng got up and came to the chart, carefully looking at the place marked by Jia Cong.Pointing to the circles marking the Americas, he asked, "Is this the place where you mentioned potatoes and corn?"

"Uh-huh……"

Jia Cong nodded again and again, swallowing his saliva: "There are not only seeds that can solve the famine, but also vast and fertile land, and a lot of gold. It's just a little far away, and our navy can't go there to expand the territory. .”

"It's okay, if I can't do it, there will be Hong'er, if Hong'er can't, there will be descendants!"

Liu Heng is an extremely pragmatic emperor. He refocused his attention on Japan and the Western Ocean. The Japanese State has silver mines, and the Western Ocean has strange seeds...

After the navy of Daxia has accumulated enough strength, I will compete with those Westerners who are said to be around the land.

"Hong'er, for the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, I'll hand over to you those martial and noble relatives. Even if they are tied, they must be tied to your boat!"

……

Behind Jia Cong were two young eunuchs, cursing and crying out of the palace.

Jia Shishi, who was guarding outside the palace, greeted him, and looked suspiciously at the little eunuch who was holding a bunch of things, which seemed to be books and other things.

"Third Master, what's the matter?"

Jia Cong almost burst into tears, and he said full of resentment: "I just said that the earth is round, and I was beaten up, and I was given homework. Tell me, am I wronged?" ?”

"Hey, isn't this Jia Xiaosan? I heard that you were spanked by the fourth brother again?"

Jia Shixi had already seen who was coming, and bowed down with cupped fists: "Greetings, Lord Zhongshun!"

The faces of the two young eunuchs immediately turned pale, and they bowed tremblingly: "My servant pays homage to the Thirteenth Lord."

Jia Cong turned his head away, and it was the Zhongshun Prince Liu Ke who had finally returned to Beijing who walked out of the palace gate.

I saw Liu Ke happily walked up to Jia Cong, rubbed Jia Cong's round head, looked at the things in the hands of the two young eunuchs, and winked at Jia Cong: "Listen to Hong'er, you don't even have "The Armillary Sphere Note" Don’t even understand "The New Book of Revolutionary Elephant"? Didn’t you want to test Hwarang? If I ask you, you’d better follow Ben Wang Jiaying’s running dog, reading is not suitable for you!”

How nice it is to be a hawk and lackey Xun Ndai, this abominable and shocking temptation...

snort!
"No, I'm the man who wants to be the King of the Sea, Lord Thirteen, you can't seduce me!"

Jia Cong spoke convincingly, but he saw Liu Ke beckoning to the servants of the palace who were waiting at the side, and immediately there was a servant holding a white cat, one eye was as yellow as glass and the other as blue as gemstone, it was truly beautiful.

"Because of this king, your little wife was frightened before. This cat is just an apology. You can give it to her on behalf of this king."

Liu Ke was a little embarrassed, grabbed the kitten by the neck from the servant's hand, and stuffed it into the arms of the bewildered Jia Cong, regardless of its little claws.

The kitten meowed twice, stepped on Jia Cong's arms, found a comfortable position, and hid itself.

Liu Ke patted Jia Cong who was still in a daze: "This cat has been seen by Yu Chenglang, who is good at playing with bugs in the Taiyuan Hospital. After feeding it with medicine, it will not cause people to be infected with canines. You can do it." Don't worry. Do you have cats in your house? If not, I will pick some for you when I go back..."

Good guy, he is indeed the biggest dandy in this dynasty, not to mention giving away a cat, but he is so proud to give away a few more cat breeders.

However, this dandy prince is also careful, and he even dealt with the possibility of people being infected with rabies properly.

He hurriedly replied: "No, no, the Thirteenth Lord gave me this little raccoon slave. It's an excellent gift. How can I be greedy for the cat breeders in your house? I also have people who are proficient in cat breeders in my family."

"That's fine, the king has given me the apology, my princess celebrates her birthday some other day, and you bring your little wife to the mansion to play..."

Liu Ke seemed to have solved a problem in his mind, and his whole body became much lighter.

He waved his hand and was about to leave. Before leaving, he said: "By the way, go back and tell your father that the king has returned to Beijing. See you at the old place at Xushi tonight!"

Before Jia Cong could respond, Liu Ke strode to the side of the carriage of the palace, and boarded the carriage in one step.

Jia Cong looked at the carriage of the palace that was slowly leaving, and then at the little raccoon slave in his arms, with a dazed expression on his face.

"Meow~"

This cat is not afraid of life. After raising its head, it looked at Jia Cong with a pair of mandarin duck eyes, and meowed as if it was waiting for Jia Cong's response.

"Meow!"

Well, it's the same kind.

The kitten settled down in Jia Cong's arms, changed its position, closed its eyes and snored.It was only when Jia Cong returned to Rongguo Mansion that he opened his eyes and looked at his new territory curiously.

"Yeah, cat!"

Master Xi hadn't returned from the Forbidden Army camp yet, Jia Cong carried the cat all the way to Rongxi Hall.

Because Wang Xifeng went to the south of the Yangtze River, the girls in the mansion were either learning housekeeping from the old lady, or they were busy preparing for the arrival and departure of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Only Xiao Xichun, accompanied by the maid, squatted in the small garden and stared at the ants at the root of the tree to play.

After hearing footsteps from far to near, I turned my head and looked...

Long time no see, the third brother has a cat on his body!

She happily got up and ran to Jia Cong's side, tiptoed to look at the meowing little raccoon slave, showing a pair of small canine teeth, and reached out to touch the fluffy cat.

Jia Cong brought Xichun to the pavilion, put the cat on the table, Xichun immediately lay down on the table, touched the little raccoon slave's head with his little hand, and then let out a giggle.

Xichun, who has petted big cats before, would not be afraid of this little one at all, so she picked up the kitten and looked around.

"Hey, third brother, this little cat is different from Big Miaomiao!"

Jia Cong took the tea from the maid, and after quenching his thirst, he explained to Xichun the difference between a tiger and a cat.

Not long after, the girls who got the news came one after another, chattering around the kitten on the table.

"Sister Lin, this is an apology from Lord Zhongshun. He said that when he was in Jiangnan, he put you in danger..."

Jia Cong recounted how he met Liu Ke in front of the palace gate, and Daiyu couldn't laugh or cry.This Prince Zhongshun is really an interesting person, he would even apologize to a little girl.

She teased the little cat who was chasing Xichun's handkerchief, and said with a smile: "This cat is really beautiful. I wanted to raise one before, but unfortunately I haven't found a suitable one..."

Yingchun also said: "I won't keep it anymore, raising Brother Cong this fat cat for the past few years is enough for me to have a headache."

"Second sister, I am so easy to support..."

Jia Cong muttered, but seeing Yingchun pat Jia Cong's head, he asked with a smile, "Really? A mud monkey!"

cough cough...

It’s hard to regain my childhood, and I’m not allowed to enjoy the joy of digging out bird’s nests from trees and touching bastards in rivers?
But these years, every time I turned myself into a mud monkey, it was Yingchun who boiled hot water early to turn the mud monkey back into a white and clean little fat pier.

Tanchun is not sensitive about raising cats. It's not that she doesn't like petting cats. The main reason is that her current hobby is dealing with those books.

This is very similar to Xue Baochai, both of them are people with great ambitions, if not limited by their female status, they would be suitable to be assistants to the old Paixiu at the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Xiangyun is also a cat lover, but she only likes petting other people's cats.If she were to raise it by herself, she wouldn't be that patient. Sister Lin would only need a cat!
