Chapter 240 Contour Topographic Map

Li Lizhi: "What do you know?"

"I only realized I needed an accountant."

“…”

Li Zhi pulled the corner of Li Lizhi's clothes and asked, "Sister, what is an accountant?"

Li Lizhi also looked at Li Zheng, "What is an accountant?"

"In the eyes of accountants, money is just a number. They are the people who really don't take money seriously. They are professionals."

Li Lizhi asked again: "Li Zheng, are there only money in your eyes?"

"No, there is still poetry and distantness in my eyes."

"I don't believe it!"

"Well, I'll tell you, before I can earn enough money for retirement, my only hobby may be making money."

"Hmph! That's true."

Li Zhi ate the ice cream bite after bite with a small wooden spoon.

Although I don’t know what Li Zheng and his elder sister are talking about.

But he knew that anything he couldn't understand must be very powerful.

Mr. Kong Yingda, who teaches himself, is very good.

I can't understand what Mr. Kong Yingda was talking about in class.

It is best to pretend to understand at this time.

Because I won't be scolded.

Li Lizhi took Li Zhi away in disappointment, but in fact she wanted to talk to Li Zheng for a while.

It would be bad if my younger brother was taken away by Li Zheng.

Li Zhi is still young and doesn't understand the world.

After Li Lizhi took Li Zhi away.

Li Tai also returned to Jingyang tiredly.

Using the hot water that Li Zheng had originally wanted to take a bath, Li Tai took a shower and drank hot tea and said, "I'm so busy."

"Nothing big happened, right?" Li Zheng asked while boiling tea eggs.

Di Zhixun brought a lot of tea, which is enough for him to eat until next year.

Li Tai looked tired, "Thanks to your reminder, fortunately, no major disaster happened. In fact, I understand the truth, but it is not as thorough as you think. This heavy snow is no different from heavy rain. When Cen Wenben compiled the Earth Records, it was recorded in the classics that the foothills of Chang'an Mountains collapsed."

Arrogance is the biggest enemy of mankind, and happiness is the biggest hidden danger of tranquility.

"Confucius said: Born in worries, die in happiness." Li Zheng sighed.

Li Tai said lazily, peeling the eggshell of the tea leaves and saying, "That was what Mencius said, not what Confucius said."

"Is that true?" Li Zheng touched his nose with a little embarrassed.

When Li Daxiong returned home, the three of them sat together for supper, and Li Tai fell asleep.

Li Zheng also learned about what happened to Longshouyuan from the news sent by Li Yi Mansion.

The Dragon Shouyuan is actually not bad, and the most serious place is Mangshan.

Thousands of houses were flooded by the flowing soil from the mountains.

It has a certain relationship with geology.

Li Zheng remembered that when he was a child, he would often be on mountain roads because of rolling stones and landslides that the road was blocked.

Once a landslide occurs, it will take a long time to rebuild the road.

Of course, there are human factors.

For example, some people who claim to be a certain lieutenant of Cao Jun.

In order to make a fortune, they carried shovels and dug around the Qinling Mountains.

Eighty percent of the mountain is almost hollow.

There are also a lot of people going to forest farming and building the mausoleum.

Too much vegetation has been removed, which is also a very critical reason for soil erosion.

In this era when eating is the top priority, who can care about protecting the environment?

As long as you can eat a full meal and grow food, even the forests and mountains are enemies of the people.

The snoring sounded and Li Daxiong and Li Tai were snoring one after another.

Li Zheng lost insomnia again.

The next day, the weather finally became clear.

In the warm sunshine, Li Zheng was lying on the recliner he made, intending to take a good night's sleep in the warm sunshine.

Li Tai returned to Chang'an and hasn't been to court for a long time.

Li Chengqian's face was also very bad. Maybe he had never had a rest since he was busy yesterday.

What did Li Tai say in the morning court?

His tired body stood weakly, and he wanted to go back to his mansion and sleep again.

After going to court, Li Tai returned to his mansion.

Li Chengqian also returned to the East Palace.

Cen Wenben sat in the Literature Museum, looking at the new map sent by Li Tai.

These maps are not detailed.

But there are only some lines.

Looking at these lines, you can see the trends of mountains and rivers and the heights of the terrain.

Cen Wenben asked the minor official beside him in confusion, "Your Highness the King of Wei is looking at this picture to judge the location of the mountain torrent?"

The little official replied: "It's true."

He took out another booklet, and the clerk continued, "This is the illustration made by His Highness the King of Wei when he was looking at the terrain."

Cen Wenben took the illustration and looked at these maps. The maps were full of lines.

There are no mountains, rivers and rivers painted at all.

However, with the illustration, it looks clear at a glance.

The meaning of those marks will be understood.

Cen Wenben became more and more curious as he looked at it, "Where did His Highness the King of Wei get these pictures?"

The little official smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that these pictures were taken from Jingyang. It is said that they were after-school homework assigned by Li Zheng to the children at that time."

Not to mention what homework is after class, Cen Wenben looked at the map full of contour lines and whispered: "This kind of picture is of great use for marching and fighting."

"I'm going to see His Majesty."

Cen Wenben came to the palace with this stack of drawings. After the palace eunuchs reported it, he entered Liangyi Hall.

"Your Majesty!" Cen Wenben bowed with these drawings.

Li Shimin was eating tea eggs and heard that there was a food called tea eggs in Li Chengqian Palace, which naturally became a dish in the imperial kitchen.

And this dish is extremely simple to make and tastes very good.

Cen Wenben said again: "Your Majesty, I have a military and national weapon to offer it."

"A weapon of military power?"

Cen Wenben took the drawings and spread them in front of Li Shimin's desk, "Please look at your Majesty."

After eating tea eggs, he took another sip of wolfberry soaked it in white. Li Shimin looked at the drawings full of lines.

“…”

He looked up and looked at Cen Wenben and asked, "You're going to show me this? A powerful weapon for military and nationality?"

"Your Majesty, the terrain has always been particularly important. Whoever grasps the terrain first can grasp the initiative."

"Of course I understand what you said." Li Shimin thought of the years, and I also made great achievements in my military achievements.

Li Shimin looked at these unknown maps, "Then tell me, how can I draw these lines give my Tang army the lead?"

"Your Majesty, this is actually a map, to be precise, a topographic map."

"Are you joking?"

Cen Wenben explained to Li Shimin this way of drawing the topographic map for a while. Through the dense lines and the curve of the lines, you can roughly know the outlines of the mountains and terrain.

After understanding, Li Shimin became more and more interested. When he was in war, he suffered a lot of losses because the map was unclear.

The quality of the terrain often determines the outcome of a big battle.
