Chapter 95
Tiansheng 11th year, August.

Dazhou, Qingzhou, Hedong County, Haiping County.

By the side of the big river that flows eastward, a boy with long horns pierced and delicate features stood on the bank, looking at the big river that was about ten thousand feet wide, covered in mist, and the opposite bank could hardly be seen, dazed.

The river is windy and the current is fast. It is only a hundred miles to the east and pours into a vast ocean.

"What a majestic river, such a magnificent scene, should be a poem!"

After finishing speaking, the child in the corner, took the pen and paper from the hand of the companion, splashed ink and wrote a poem on the spot:
……

"The Story of Linbei River"

Thousands of miles of waves come from the sky, rushing to the sea and never returning.

But there is pride in the world, and it is not in vain that the Beijiang River flows through the ages.

……

A slobbering doggerel, made on the spot.

As for the artistry of this poem...it can only be described as dross.

However, considering that the child of the Zongjiao is only six years old, it is very rare to be able to write such a poem.

In addition to the square and square calligraphy on the rice paper, which is already in the style of everyone, the companion on the side, like a treasure, put away this calligraphy, and praised: "Young master, your poem is so well written. , Master and Madam will be very happy when they see it!"

"Young master, young master! The master tells you to go back quickly, the wind is strong by the river, be careful of the cold." Not far away, a thin and weak companion hurried over and said.

"Got it, let's go back!"

After tidying up the long-sleeved clothes that were blown by the wind, Zhou Ming walked towards the oval dock five miles away under the support of several companions.

Walking along the way, all you can see is the plain terrain alluvial by the great river. It is the same for thousands of miles. Only three hundred miles away to the west is the "Taiyan Mountain", which is called "Taiyan Mountain" where immortals live, and the sky is thousands of miles away. Under the circumstances, a little undulating outline can be seen, the outline is like a gray wavy line, and the lower part is stained with light ink.

As for the altitude, Zhou Ming calculated that it was only about 3000 meters high, which is exaggerated by people. It was really that high. What he saw from three hundred miles away was not a concept of outline, but a huge monster.

There is still a certain difference between this world and the world Zhou Ming lives in.

This planet is slightly larger than the earth, about 1.3 times larger. The ocean accounts for 60%, and the land accounts for 40%. The land is composed of four continents separated by the sea. If Zhou Ming is now Location, if defined as the eastern/northern hemisphere, then these four continents, one is in the eastern/northern hemisphere (the largest area, called the main continent), one is in the western hemisphere (a strip continent, spanning the northern and southern hemispheres), and one is in the southern hemisphere (Similar to Antarctica).

There is also a continent with the smallest area, floating alone about 5000 kilometers to the southwest of the main continent, with an area of ​​about 1000 million square kilometers, and its shape is a bit like an isosceles trapezoid, which reminds Zhou Ming of Australia in his world. bag country...

There are three moons in the sky, one big and two small, two small ones hang in the daytime, and one big one hangs in the evening, so the sky in this world is quite interesting to look at. What are the moon-chanting poems written by those poets? The moon depends on the title of his poems, whether it is a white moon or a night moon...

The country where Zhou Ming lives is called "Great Zhou". On the [World Map], it is somewhat similar to the Z country in his world, but there are also big differences.

Similar is that both countries have a "chicken belly"-shaped territory. Under the "chicken belly", there are two islands similar to "chicken feet". The west is snow-capped mountains and deserts, the north is vast grassland, and the south is desert In the wild land, in the east, apart from the small countries in the northeast corner, there is an endless ocean.

The overall is somewhat similar, but in the specific details, there are still huge differences.

First of all, the territory of the Great Zhou Empire was even larger. It is conservatively estimated that, based on the establishment of counties and counties, the area under the direct jurisdiction of the central government will have an area of ​​1500 million square kilometers (excluding those prefectures, affiliated states, and nomadic tribes. ).

Secondly, there are big differences in topography and landforms. There is no Yangtze River and Yellow River here, but there are three longer and wider rivers with greater water flow. The three major rivers, from north to south, are called Beijiang, Zhongjiang and Nanjiang respectively.

In addition to the great rivers, there are countless mountain ranges whose shapes, names, and altitudes are all different from the real world.

For example, in this world, the east-west mountain ranges mainly include Tianzhu Mountain, Tianmu Mountain, and Dayin Mountain, and the north-south mountain ranges mainly include Shu Mountain, Xiao Mountain, Yan Mountain, and Taiyan Mountain...

Then, according to the main mountains and rivers, such as the chessboard of a chessboard, the block areas divided on the map make the main body of the Great Zhou Empire, which can be described in one sentence and eight characters:

Three rivers and seven veins, ten states and four domains.

Three Rivers: Beijiang, Zhongjiang and Nanjiang

Seven veins: east-west (Tianzhu Mountain, Tianmu Mountain, Dayin Mountain), north-south (Shushan, Xiaoshan, Yanshan, Taiyanshan)

Ten states: Youzhou, Qingzhou, Liangzhou, Yangzhou, Jeju, Shengzhou, Shuzhou, Qianzhou, Zhongzhou, Hongzhou, Yazhou

Four Regions: Western Region, Northern Region, Barbaric Region, and Penglai Immortal Region (there are some islands in the eastern sea, and the emperor often sends some fleets to find immortals and elixir, so it is called Penglai Immortal Region)
The place where Zhou Ming is now is just a small county near the coast in the northeast corner of Qingzhou. The reason why it is called "Haiping County" is because when the sea tide is high, half of the area in this low-lying county will be soaked. It is in the sea, so this county is often nicknamed "Haiban County" and "Dragon King County".

Walking on short legs for more than half an hour, seeing Wubao getting closer in front of him, and scanning the endless fertile farmland around Wubao, Zhou Ming secretly sighed: What kind of landlord's house is this? It is a small independent kingdom.

More than 10 mu of fertile land belongs to their own family.

Nearly 8000 households with a population of more than [-] are tenant farmers or clan farmers who farm for their own families.

There are 500 standing clan soldiers, and in an emergency, 2000 people can be pulled out to guard the military force of Wubao, so that our family has resisted countless foreign invasions and several times of dynasty changes during the 500 years since it took root here. Internal strife.

Haipingtian's house.

It is the name of the family he was born into now.

Tian Jian is the name of his body.

Walking into Wubao, I saw a middle-aged handsome man in brocade clothes, dignified eyebrows, and a short mustache, walking around the yard. After seeing Zhou Ming approaching, he walked quickly to him. In front of him, he said extremely severely: "I'm so anxious! Jian'er Encore went to that windy and damp place. What should I do if I get caught in the wind and cold?"

In the sound of reproach, there is a deep concern.

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged handsome man pointed at Zhou Ming's two companions and said furiously: "It must be the two of you, Jian'er, who was picked up, went out of the castle to look at the river... Steward, drag the two of you down, and you will be punished heavily with sticks! "

"My lord, please forgive me, please forgive me!"

"Master, the little one didn't pick up the young master to go out, please forgive me, master!"

The two companions were terrified, they knelt down together and kowtowed like garlic.

"Father, it's me who wants to go out to relax. It has nothing to do with Xiaozhong and Xiaoyong. I will pay attention to it next time. Just let them go."

Facing his father, Zhou Ming cupped his hands and made a bow, begging for the two companions.

"Hmph! Let them go for now, and next time you do such a nuisance thing, see if I don't break their legs!"

For the sake of his son's pleading, the handsome middle-aged man calmed down and let go of his two companions.

"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master!"

The two companions who seemed to have walked before the life and death hurdle kept kowtowing to Zhou Ming.

"Okay, okay, stop kneeling, quickly take out the poem I wrote just now, and give it to my father to taste, and see if there is any room for improvement." Zhou Ming kicked his companion Dang Tianzhong and said.

"Jian'er is composing poetry again? Quickly show it to me!"

The middle-aged handsome man's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly.

He knew this son's intelligence very early: he could speak before he was eight months old, he could walk when he was one year old, he learned Chinese characters at two years old, he wrote poems and Fu at three years old, his calligraphy was close to mastery at four years old, and he was very good at five years old. , wrote a poem "Wishing parents a long life and a hundred years old poem", which moved me even more. After passing this poem to the famous teachers in the prefectures and counties, everyone tasted it. , It made him feel proud and proud as a father.

Ban Dang Tian Zhong quickly handed over the poem volume.

Unfolding the volume of poems, the middle-aged handsome man began to sing in cadence and bowed his head.

"The Story of Linbei River"

"Thousands of miles of waves are coming from the sky~"

"Run to the sea and never return!"

"There is pride in the world~"

"It's not in vain for the eternal flow of the North River!"

"It's a good sentence 'but there is pride in the world, and it is not in vain for the eternity of the Beijiang River'... Good poetry, good poetry!"

The middle-aged handsome man kept groaning, and fell into the heroic artistic conception in the poem, unable to extricate himself for a while.

"Father, I don't think the last sentence is very well written. How about changing 'Not in vain' to 'Not in vain'? It doesn't cost Beijiang eternity, it seems better." Zhou Ming stepped forward and asked.

The middle-aged handsome man suddenly danced, quickly put away the poem scroll, walked quickly to a room in the castle, and shouted as he walked: "Ma'am, Ma'am, Jian'er has written another good poem, come and read it quickly." look!"

Seeing this scene, Zhou Ming shook his head helplessly.
