Chapter 180 Treasure Map

After listening to the anchor's account of Wu Zetian's day, ancient people from all dynasties were filled with sighs and had a clearer understanding of Wu Zetian's merits and demerits.

Before the anchor, everyone knew about Wu Zetian from the mouths of scholars.

Because scholars were full of slander against Wu Zetian, over time, they also had inexplicable hostility towards Wu Zetian.

But now that the anchor has put things right, everyone's perception of Wu Zetian has improved a lot.

Ying Zheng: Anchor, can you start selling maps now?
  Ying Zheng was not very interested in Wu Zetian's affairs, he just listened to them as a story.

After all, Wu Zetian was far away from his time, and there was nothing particularly deep about her.

Compared to the story of a generation of queens, he was more interested in maps, which at least would be helpful to his Great Qin.

For a country, the importance of maps is self-evident, especially in military terms.

In any dynasty, maps are military secrets.

Da Qin naturally also drew a map of the whole country, but without even thinking about it, you know that the maps of later generations will definitely be thousands of times better than Da Qin's. There is no doubt about this.

According to his guess, the map the anchor is selling tonight must be very detailed, so much so that every mountain, river, and street can be clearly found on the map.

After Qin Shihuang's reminder, emperors from other dynasties also responded one after another.

Indeed, although Wu Zetian's story is legendary and exciting, they want to snap up maps more, which are things that are helpful to the empire.

Everyone didn’t have high expectations for the map. After all, they had a nationwide map themselves. They just said that the map sold by the anchor was more detailed than theirs.

Compared with the precious items such as crop seeds and walkie-talkies sold before, the maps sold tonight are a little less interesting.

But no matter what, the emperors of various dynasties still wanted to snap up maps. After all, more detailed maps would still be of great help to the country.

Liu Che: Anchor, my big men are fighting against the Huns. I wonder if the map includes the Huns?
  Cao Cao: Anchor, I want a map of Sichuan, Sichuan and Jiangdong. Is there any?
  Liu Bei:......

Sun Quan:......

After Su Chen finished talking about Wu Zetian's right and wrong, the barrage in the live broadcast room soared, and everyone wanted to buy the map.

It can be seen that the ancient people from all dynasties can't wait. Su Chen did not waste everyone's time and started the sales process tonight.

The next moment, the ancients from all dynasties were surprised to see the anchor take out a thick book from the side.

The thickness of the book was much thicker than the books they had seen before, which puzzled everyone. They wanted to sell maps, so why did they take out a book?

Li Shimin: Anchor, did you get the wrong one?

Not only Li Shimin has such doubts, but many people also have such doubts, wondering what medicine the anchor sells in his gourd.

Su Chen brought the colorful book to the live broadcast room to show it, tearing open the packaging film and explaining with a smile.

"Everyone has misunderstood. This seems to be a book, but it is actually a map to be sold tonight. Everyone will understand after the anchor opens it."

The ancients from all dynasties were even more confused when they heard this, but they didn't say anything, but waited for the anchor to reveal the answer.

Then everyone saw a dumbfounded scene, and they all stared blankly at the host unfolding the map.

Everyone saw the anchor opening the packaging film and unfolding the map that looked like a book little by little.

In a short time, the map was expanded to cover the entire room, and more than half of the map was not expanded.

It was only then that everyone was shocked to discover that it was not a book at all, but a huge map.

You know, the anchor's room is not small, so only part of it has been expanded, and most of the map has not been expanded.

At the thought of this, ancient people from all dynasties all took a breath of air.

The area of ​​​​this map is simply ridiculously large, hundreds of times larger than the maps they have seen before.

Ying Zheng suppressed the shock in his heart and looked at the large map in the anchor's hand with ardent eyes, as if looking at a unique treasure.

The map area is so huge, he knows exactly what this means.

He just guessed that the map could clearly mark every street and alley, but now it seems that it is still too conservative.

If this map were placed in their Da Qin, he dared to say that every house in the Da Qin could be marked.

If he grabs the map, his control over Da Qin will increase exponentially from now on, and those rebels hiding in dark corners will no longer have a place to hide.

Although he knew that the anchor's map was for future generations, it was far from the situation in their Great Qin.

But it doesn't matter. Even after more than two thousand years, the mountains, rivers, and topography are the same. This map can be used directly.

With such a large area of ​​map, he could clearly mark every village and house in Da Qin on the map.

Just when Ying Zhengchang wanted to strengthen his control over the people through the map, Fusu beside him murmured to himself.

Fu Su: Such a big map, I’m afraid it’s not just Da Qin, but also other foreign countries.

When Ying Zheng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that this was really what happened.

He had been distracted just now, thinking that this map only belonged to Da Qin.

Now after Fusu reminded him, he realized that something was wrong.

Such a large map is just Daqin's words, which is somewhat unjustifiable. There is no need to draw such a huge map.

Slowly, more and more ancient people reacted and guessed that the map might not only be of the land of China.

Li Longji: Anchor, does this map cover the entire world?

Li Longji had a vague guess in his mind. He knew that there were many countries in the world, and there were countless countries that were attracted to the Tang Dynasty every year during the prosperous Kaiyuan era. It could be said that all nations came to visit.

These countries come from all over the world, from all over the world.

Even he doesn't know how big the world is. He only knows that there are many countries and the world is very big.

Now that the anchor took out such a huge map, he suspected that it might be a map of this world.

In their time, it would be impossible to draw a map of the whole world.

But the anchor comes from the later generations, and is so prosperous and powerful in the later generations. It is not difficult at all to draw a map of the whole world.

After Li Longji finished asking, the ancients from other dynasties also looked at the anchor, looking forward to the anchor's answer to see if it was what they thought.

Su Chen spread the map all over the room, and there were even many parts that were not unfolded, not even a place to start.

This map is a world map. If a map is fully unfolded, it will cover an area of ​​nearly one hundred square meters.

Considering the limitations of ancient times, it was impossible to know the world outside China, so he deliberately made such a large map.

I just want to let the ancients of various dynasties stop fighting in the land of China, and take a longer-term view and see more of the outside world. This world map is huge in area and shows the topography of the entire world, so finely that even the villages in each country can be seen.

Although this world map depicts the situation of later generations, which is very different from the situation in ancient times, ancient people in various dynasties can still make use of it.

After all, the most basic terrain will not change even after a thousand or two thousand years.

Su Chen saw Li Longji's question and immediately answered it.

"His Majesty Xuanzong is right. This is indeed a world map, and the land of China is only a small part of it."

As soon as he finished speaking, ancient people from all dynasties were secretly shocked.

Just as they guessed, this is actually a map of the entire world. No wonder it is so huge.

Everyone has heard of places other than China since they were young. They all know that China is the only country in the world that is rich in products, and that overseas places are all barbaric places where birds can't poop.

In everyone's perception, the center of the entire world is the land of China where they live, and the outside world is nothing but barbarians.

Although everyone was shocked at the moment when the anchor brought out a map of the whole world, most people didn't take it seriously. They felt that the world map the anchor brought out was a bit redundant. What was there to know about the barbarian lands overseas? They didn't know anything about the world outside the land of China. The backcountry was not interesting at all.

They, the Celestial Kingdom, do not need to pay attention to overseas barbarian lands. It would be great if such a large map was a map of China, then they could clearly understand every corner of China.

The vast majority of people from all dynasties and generations don't pay much attention to the anchor's world map, but there are a small number of people who stare at the anchor's world map with bright eyes and want to rush to the anchor's room to grab it.

Others don't know the importance of the world map. To them, this world map is simply the most precious treasure in the world.

The Yang family of the Song Dynasty has been engaged in maritime trade for generations since their ancestors, and was even named a Thousand Maritime Household by the officials.

The Yang family, while representing the official family as envoys to pick up overseas business groups, was engaged in overseas trade business.

It is precisely because of their maritime trade that the Yang family has become a famous family.

Although the profits of maritime trade are very high, due to the great difficulty, the Yang family does not have control over a few overseas routes, and all of them are sea routes to the nearest Nanyang area, and there are no routes to further places.

It can be said that it is extremely difficult to open up a new route in the vast sea.

As for the several routes currently opened by the Yang family, I don’t know how much effort the Yang family has spent.

But now the opportunity for their Yang family to flourish has come. As long as they can grab the world map, their Yang family can open up new routes to all parts of the world.

By then, their Yang family will experience explosive growth, and the money they earn every year will be thousands of times what they are now.

Others don't know it, but the Yang family, as maritime merchants, know best that whether they are transporting overseas goods back to the Song Dynasty or selling the goods of the Song Dynasty overseas, they can earn huge amounts of silver.

Not only the Yang family, but other merchants engaged in overseas trade in the Song Dynasty were all inexplicably excited, looking at the world map with greedy eyes.

The Song Dynasty is known as the richest dynasty in history, relying on its developed business, among which maritime trade occupies an absolute position.

It is precisely because of this that businessmen like them know the importance of the world map.

It's not just an ordinary world map, but routes full of wealth.

In addition to these maritime merchants of the Song Dynasty, ancient people engaged in maritime trade in other dynasties also realized the importance of the world map.

Zheng He from the Yongle Dynasty stared at the world map in the anchor's hand with sharp eyes. He couldn't wait to buy it now.

He had already made one voyage to the West, but he felt it was not enough and he had not brought back enough treasures from various countries for the Ming Dynasty.

Once he has this world map, he can not only go to the West, but also all countries in the world.

Su Chen saw that there were a lot less barrages in the live broadcast room. It could be seen that most ancient people of all dynasties and generations were not very interested in world maps.

Su Chen understood this. Ancient people in various dynasties had a sense of superiority towards overseas countries. They often regarded themselves as the heavenly dynasty and looked down upon overseas countries.

In fact, speaking of it, there is nothing wrong with this statement, and I don’t blame the ancients from various dynasties for having this mentality.

In ancient times, China had always been far ahead of other countries at that time.

No matter from any aspect, politics, economy, culture, military, and technology cannot be compared with other overseas countries.

Of course, this situation lasted until the Qing Dynasty, when overseas Western countries began to significantly surpass China.

Therefore, considering this aspect, it is normal for ancient people from various dynasties to look down on overseas countries, and it is understandable that they are not interested in his world map.

However, the ancient people of various dynasties are not interested now, but they will go crazy soon.

Thinking of this, Su Chen smiled mysteriously.

"The anchor can see that everyone is not very interested in the world map."

"But what the anchor wants to tell you is that this is not just a world map, it is also a treasure map."

As soon as these words came out, the ancients from all dynasties widened their eyes and looked at the anchor with confusion.

If it were a world map, they would be less interested.

But if it's a treasure map, then they're in high spirits.

Who hasn't imagined finding a treasure map in a corner, and then following the map's guidance to find countless gold and silver jewels?

Now the anchor said that the world map is a treasure map, which made the ancients from all dynasties suddenly interested. They wanted to hear why the anchor said that.

Maritime merchants from various dynasties immediately understood what the anchor meant. This world map was indeed a treasure map.

With the world map, you can open up routes to all parts of the world and earn huge profits through maritime trade.

But soon these maritime merchants discovered that they had guessed wrong. The treasure map mentioned by the anchor was not the maritime trade route they understood at all.

Su Chen pointed the live broadcast camera at the Indonesian town of Grasberg, and people from all over the world were puzzled.

"Look here, everyone. There is a small yellow triangle in the location of this town. Do you know what this means?"

Su Chen ignored everyone and continued to focus the camera on other places on the world map.

"Look, everyone, there is also a small yellow triangle icon in the Murontau region of Uzbekistan, as well as here in Russia, South Africa, and there is also a small triangle icon here in the United States..."

Where Su Chen pointed, ancient people from various dynasties did see a small yellow triangle icon on the map.

Everyone was confused and didn't know what this little triangle icon meant.

Soon Su Chen revealed the answer. Ancient people from all dynasties saw Su Chen pointing the live broadcast camera at the lower right corner of the world map. There were various small icons there, with thousands of them, among which was the small yellow icon. Triangle icon.

Su Chen pointed at the two words next to the small yellow triangle icon, which could be clearly seen by ancient people from all dynasties.

Those two words are a gold mine.
