Chapter 16 Daqin is very strong, but not strong enough!
Other dynasties are not clear about, but military craftsmen during the Qin Dynasty were definitely standard equipment for the army.
Compared with other dynasties, the number is more exquisite and the craftsmanship is also more exquisite.
He is responsible for weapon maintenance and repair work in normal times, and is responsible for manufacturing war equipment during wartime.
Wang Li gave the order, and within a short while, a military craftsman was ordered to come. Under Wang Li's order, he was ready to go, which made Zhao Si slightly stressed.
With a series of busy gestures and drawings on the ground, the craftsmen started working.
Most people in this era are silent, and it is difficult to see any special expression on their faces, like black and white TV covered with fog.
Only Wang Li looks full of freedom and prosperity.
"What are there overseas? Are there fairy mountains? Are there dragons?"
After the craftsman began to be busy, the curious Wang left and asked a question.
In this era, the sea is shrouded in mystery. Even if it is close to the sea, its range of activities is limited to the near-shore.
For Wang Li, who was born in Xianyang and raised in Xianyang, most of the sea existed only in Zouzi's Dajiuzhou theory, as well as the distant wait-and-seeness.
In addition, Xu Fu's theory of overseas fairy mountains proposed earlier has shrouded the sea in a mysterious veil.
"No." Zhao Si shook his head.
"But there are big fish more than ten feet long!" Zhao Si said with a smile.
Zhao Si talks about whales. They often encounter whales when they are at sea.
"I know, Your Majesty sent someone to hunt dragon fish in Langya a few years ago! It is said that it is dozens of feet large, with a mouth open, and can accommodate a large ship. When the tail moves, the wind and clouds rise." Wang Leg replied.
"Then is big outside? Are there really eight provinces outside?" Wang Li continued to ask.
"It's very big, and it's slightly different from the Dajiuzhou's statement, but it's not much different." Zhao Si spoke after pondering.
Although Zou Zi’s conjecture about the sea was not accurate, the earth did not present the Jiuzhou pattern as he thought.
But Zouzi's thoughts are valuable, and the most important thing is how Zouzi understands the world.
That is, decentralization.
The ancients usually believed that the Central Plains was the center of the world, with outstanding people and outstanding natural resources, and all the outstanding natural resources were concentrated in the Central Plains, and the rest were wilderness.
This is what Jiuzhou says.
To further extend, the earth we set foot on is the center of the universe, which is the theory of the world round and the earth.
It is rare for Zou Zi to look at the world from a self-centered perspective in this era.
And what is even more commendable is that the Dajiuzhou theory that Zou Zi conjectures based on his imagination and guesses is basically in line with the pattern of the earth.
Of course, Zhao Si would not deny Zouzi's big Jiuzhou saying that at most, he could just copy it. Who stipulated that there must be seven states on the earth? At worst, he could find two larger island groups to name states.
What is valuable is Zouzi's thoughts and thinking models, as well as the wide audience of Dajiuzhou's theory in this era.
To be honest, Jiuzhou said that it is outdated.
It is inevitable that Jiuzhou will be eliminated by the Great Jiuzhou, because the world has been confused and unified.
Later, Jiuzhou said that the resurgence was due to the glory of Confucianism, and bad money drove out good money was the same.
Da Jiuzhou said that he needed the factual support of Zhao Si going to sea, and if Zhao Si wanted to tell the whole world, he also needed to rely on the factual support of Da Jiuzhou and a wide audience.
Especially, Zouzi's Dajiuzhou theory may be the world theory officially recognized by the Qin Dynasty.
Wang Li was very curious about the sea, and he was also a mess when asked.
Zhao Si answered one by one, interspersing some interesting stories about himself on the sea from time to time.
"At that time, when we first arrived in a place, we had to guard against indigenous attacks and looting, but the area here was different..."
"We first arrived here, with insufficient food and grass, and we were tired. The natives here immediately took precautions. In the end, the group of natives actually sent fruits and food, and exchanged supplies for us to solve the urgent problem. Potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn were replaced from here."
"Later, when sailing, every day we were on, we were like we were having a holiday."
"What festival?" Wang Li asked curiously.
"Thanksgiving, I'm having fun." Zhao Si shook his head.
"Then these natives are so hospitality!" Wang Li nodded.
"Yes, if you are lucky enough to come again, you must bring some gifts and exchange gifts, so that you can never lose the style of my Central Plains." Zhao Si nodded.
The Indians were still very hospitable. Although they were not well-educated and had different customs, it was easy for people to feel close to each other when they met such a group of people with the same skin color.
If you have the chance in the future, it is certain that you can exchange favors. Of course, Zhao Si will not give others fur clothes that are stained with plague.
Zhao Si told a lot, and Wang Lizhen was like listening to stories, and was still a very qualified supporting actor.
Whenever Zhao Si talks about thrilling and novelty, Wang Li always exclaims just right.
Zhao Si originally planned to get closer to the other party, but he didn't feel tired. When he mentioned some interesting things, the crew members would respond in a lingering manner.
Without the tired life at sea, the crew members will be vivid and interesting to talk about, but if you ask them to go there again, they will most likely not want to go there again.
And on the other side... on the way to the world.
After Emperor First Emperor handled the government affairs, he looked up at the world map hanging in the chase.
Big Kyushu!
world!
A vast territory and land!
Rich environment and fertile soil and water!
The First Emperor has not forgotten Zhao Si's description. In Zhao Si's mouth, some areas do not even need to farm, and can be self-sufficient by relying solely on natural gifts!
What a blessing this is?
The Qin Dynasty, which he was proud of, was only a trivial point in this world map.
The most important thing is Zhao Si’s description of overseas.
Many places are indigenous, and even none of them are in the country.
There are not even decent weapons and armor, and they are fighting with stone and wooden spear?
If what Zhao Si said is true, what does this mean? It means that these enemies can be destroyed by the Qin Dynasty!
This is much easier to fight than the Six Kingdoms. After fighting for a lifetime, I am afraid that the Qin Dynasty has never faced such an easy-to-fight opponent.
Even barbarian places such as Yiqu, which are not educated, may not even have a decent regime structure and weapons and armor.
But they occupied most of the land on the world map.
This was simply incredible to the First Emperor.
What he heard in Zhao Si's description was that a group of poor, weak, unvirtuous and incompetent people occupied a vast and abundant land, while he, the emperor who unified the six kingdoms, was surrounded by the sea and mountains and deserts, trapped in the nine provinces!
What's even more regrettable is that no matter where you go, the price is too expensive, and Daqin seems to have no capital to pay such a expensive price at all.
Daqin is very strong, but not strong enough!
They were so strong that they could build fleets that sailed across the seas in BC. They were so strong that they were already ranked in the T0 level in this era, but they were not strong enough because they still could not overcome the natural obstacles.
The First Emperor looked at the world map with distant eyes. After a long time, he slowly lowered his gaze and frowned.
