At this moment, the spacious Hanlin Academy was silent.
"Why do you all have such expressions? This is common sense."
Ying Zimo's face was full of confusion.
Although she looked cute, her " how could you not know this " expression really made people a little angry.
It was as if he did not realize how shocking his words were in this era where the theory of the round sky and square earth was widespread.
"Does Little Lord mean that the world is round?”
"The Yin Yang School of Thought once said that the sky is round and the earth is square. If it's a ball, how can we walk on it? Didn't you fall down?"
"What Little Lord said is really whimsical. Have you never read a book? At a glance, this boundless Central Plains is naturally square, and the sky covers the earth..."
"These words are absurd. Could it be that you want us to practice such fallacies in the Imperial Academy? Then it's fine if we don't enter the Imperial Academy.”
.......
No one expected that the so-called first lesson of the Little Lord would clash with the theory of the round sky and square earth.
The distinguished guests who were well-read naturally couldn't help but retort.
At the moment, the Yin Yang School's idea of a round sky and a square earth was still the mainstream view.
Almost all of the records and books quoted the ancient concept of a round sky and four branches.
Even a three-year-old child knew about this.
The young master didn't even know this, and he still wanted to teach these learned people?
The hanger-ons felt that their intelligence had been insulted.
" The world is a ball?"
Dressed in a Confucian robe, Ying Zheng, who was mixed among the scholars, also fell into deep thought.
Even though Little Nineteen had taken out the Immortal Medicine previously, Brother Zheng felt that it was a little ridiculous when he heard such comments.
If these words came from someone else's mouth, he would probably scoff at them without even thinking.
Moreover, why was the globe filled with a blue ocean?
Could it be that the ocean was even vaster than the land?
"If what Little Lord said is true,"
Looking at the flickering eyes of the First Emperor, how could Wang Jian not know what kind of stormy waves were in the other party's heart?
As the Emperor, His Majesty's greatest achievement was to unify the Central Plains and expand the territory of Great Qin.
If this was really a world map.
Now, Great Qin had a goal.
"It seems that everyone has many questions in their hearts. There are not so many rigid rules in the Hanlin Academy. If anyone has questions or even rebuttals, you can raise them.”
"People can be stupid, but the most important thing is to have the courage to admit your ignorance.”
His tender voice echoed clearly at the entrance of the Academy.
The guests: "???"
They were ignorant? Was there anyone more knowledgeable than them in Xianyang?
Little Lord, you really think of yourself as our teacher!
If it weren't for the orders, who would have the time to play such a game with you!
If Young Master Fusu were to give a lecture, they could still take it seriously.
Furthermore, the student refuted the teacher?
Then where would the dignity of a teacher go?
The hanger-ons all had lofty expressions and were too lazy to argue with the child.
On the other hand, poor scholars read fewer books and were more malleable. They did not have those rigid theories in their hearts.
Instead, they all revealed curious expressions.
"Han Sheng, do you have any questions?"
Facing the crowd, Ying Zimo didn't have stage fright. Instead, he acted like a competent little teacher.
He was suddenly called.
Han Sheng was stunned.
According to the rules, students were only qualified to listen to a teacher's lecture.
How could he ask questions by name?
However, the one giving the lecture was the Little Lord, so he wasn't their teacher.
So, Han Sheng stood up and bowed, asking,"
"Little Lord, if your words have no evidence, I can't agree with your words.”
"I've read the local chronicles before. The Central Plains is the center of the world with vast lands and abundant resources. To the north are grasslands and deserts, and to the east is the endless sea. It's completely different from the globe you took out.”
"How do we prove that the Earth is round?”
Han Sheng's question was also the question in everyone's mind.
"This little bastard's teaching method is truly unique.”
Ying Zheng also found it novel.
Originally, he had come to see what the exam was about, but now his interest had been piqued.
Looking at Ying Zimo's small body pointing out the world, she couldn't help but smile.
"These are two different questions."
"Aiya, you're so stupid. It's actually very simple to prove it.”
Very simple?
Looking at the group of people who were acting like silly geese, Ying Zimo curled the corners of his mouth and said helplessly,"
"Han Sheng, where are you from?"
"Reporting to Little Lord, this humble one has come from Qi to seek knowledge.”
"That's good. Let me ask you, is Mount Li high?”
"Mount Li naturally has beautiful scenery. From afar, it looks like a group of green horses with a powerful aura.”
Han Sheng was confused. He didn't know why the young master would suddenly mention Mount Li.
However, what Ying Zimo said next stunned him.
"In that case, can you see Mount Li in Qi Land? Since you said that Mount Li is like a big horse, then when you rushed to Xianyang, you must have seen the horse's head first, right?”
Han Sheng's head buzzed.
Qi and Great Qin were far apart, so wasn't it normal that they couldn't see Mount Li?
Moreover, was there any difference between seeing the mountain peak first or the mountain body first?
However, Ying Zimo's words had also triggered his memories.
wait
See the mountain first
"If the earth was flat, such a huge Mount Li would only become smaller because it was far away. How could it be completely invisible?”
"And when it appeared in our line of sight, why did we see the mountain peak first and not the entire mountain?”
Although Ying Zimo was asking a question, he sounded like he was testing someone.
In fact, this principle was easy to understand. It was proposed by a certain philosopher in the far west. With a little logical thinking, one could figure it out.
Some people fell into deep thought, while some people simply ignored what was happening outside.
Ying Zimo didn't care about it, but jumped down directly.
Then, he dug out some soil from under the tree beside him and started to pinch it seriously.
"What is he doing now?"
Ying Zheng looked at the back of the hardworking little girl and could not hold it in any longer.
Didn't you say that you were going to give a lecture?
Why are you playing with mud?
After a while, Ying Zimo stood up, holding a model of a mountain made of mud in his hand.
"Hmph, some students have to think seriously. This class is very important!”
"If you don't listen, then our Hanlin Academy won't take advantage of you.”
Ying Zimo said as he walked back.
He stuck the model on the globe.
"Zhang Liang, Xiao He, you two turn the globe.”
"Yes."
The two of them looked at each other and acted according to Ying Zimo's instructions.
Not only was the globe rewarded by the national fortune large, but it could also be rotated flexibly without using much strength.
Gu Lu Gu Lu
The globe started spinning.
Some people didn't understand, but Han Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up and he slapped his head.
"I understand!"
"Do you see that model?”
Everyone's gazes gathered.
When the globe turned to the side, the model of the mountain disappeared.
When he turned back.
It actually started from the top of the mountain!
It was exactly the same experience as Han Sheng!
"If the sky is round and the earth is square, there's no way to explain this phenomenon!”
The scholars who had just listened to the lecture were all shocked.
In fact, Han Sheng was not the first to comprehend it.
Brother Zheng in the crowd was.
While Dun Ruo and Wang Jian were still pondering, Ying Zheng seemed to have thought of something.
"Dun Ruo, do you still remember when we were out on the sea during the eastern patrol, we encountered other ships?”
Brother Zheng recalled the experience of searching for the overseas immortal mountain.
If a ship appeared in the distance, they would definitely look at the other party's mast first, not the entire ship!
If the land was really flat, how could this be explained?
"This, this, this, could it be that the saying that the sky is round and the earth is square is really wrong?”
Dun Ruo felt like he had opened the door to a whole new world.
Some of the poor scholars did not understand.
Ying Zimo's small face showed a hint of disgust.
"Actually, this is not the only way to verify it.”
"If the sky is round and the earth is square, then the time of day and night should be the same everywhere.”
"But in reality, the time it takes for the sun to set varies from place to place.”
"The daytime in the East Sea is obviously longer, but in Xianyang, the sun sets earlier.”
"Don't you understand? Aiya, this is really the worst batch of students I've ever taught.”
"Hey, Han Sheng, get me a cup of hot water to moisten my throat.”
......
The young voice had an old tone.
"Who did Little Lord learn these words from?”
Hearing this, Wang Jian really did not know whether to laugh or cry.
The scholars were not the only ones present. There was also His Majesty and him, one of the Four Great Generals of the Warring States Period who had destroyed the Six Nations.
Now, he was also innocent and had become the worst batch of students in the Hanlin Academy.
Ying Zheng took a deep breath.
Even someone as wise as him could not refute Little Nineteen's point of view.
This was because all the phenomena had already explained the conclusion.
The facts spoke louder than words.
He had just thought about these questions.
Ying Zimo's next sentence was like a bolt of lightning that struck his ears.
"Back to the question just now."
The little pointer seemed to want to tap on something, but it was helpless to find something like a blackboard.
He could only knock on the globe beside him.
"Why can't we usually sense that the earth is round?”
"Because this world is too vast! The Central Plains, which we usually think is vast and rich, is too insignificant!”
"Everyone, look! This is our Great Qin.”
Great Qin's territory was marked out in red.
After searching for a long time, they finally found it.
"Is our Central Plains so small?”
"Impossible, nonsense! These four directions were just barren lands!”
"My Great Qin is only this small?"
Brother Zheng also found Great Qin's location on the globe.
He was instantly dumbfounded.
So, what did his ambition and achievements become?
Great Qin Fen had only conquered such a small place after six generations?
The hundreds of dukes in the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period had crossed the river and attacked each other. Was it just the tip of the iceberg in this world?
