Chapter 48 I'm like my grandfather today
The conversation with Zhao Si made the First Emperor feel like he was neither up nor down.
After all, Zhao Si is not a professional. He is just a modern person with certain experience in navigating at sea, not a professional geographer or a qualified politician.
Zhao Si just opened the door to a new world for Emperor First Emperor, but Zhao Si himself didn't know what was inside the door. He was not a professional historian and could not talk about the world of this era.
If Daqin wants to understand the world, he still needs to continue to explore and send out a more comprehensive and professional fleet.
It is necessary to send official envoys from the Qin Dynasty to establish connections with the world, so that we can have a more comprehensive understanding of how many countries there are in the world, what kind of regime structure these countries have, how many populations, how many industries, and how many technologies they have. Only in this way can we evaluate whether the Qin Dynasty can gain benefits at sea and whether the Qin Dynasty can open the sea as the direction of the future.
As for inventions such as salt making and the specific cultivation methods of three new grains, the First Emperor did not ask much.
It’s not that it’s not important, but that Zhao Si’s tenderness can be clearly felt during the conversation between the First Emperor and Zhao Si.
Zhao Si's political literacy is in a relatively deserted state. In other words, Zhao Si does not have the ability to summarize and report in detail. What the First Emperor wants to hear will be very fragmented and complicated when he says something from Zhao Si. He can chat and tell stories, but Zhao Si is still far from the ability to report work.
This is normal, Zhao Si is a normal person.
The focus of conversations that are understood by normal people and the focus of conversations that are understood by politicians are not the same concept at all.
Zhao Si traveled through time and was on the sea boat. How long has it been since he returned? How could he have political literacy? Just kidding, Zhao Si never even served as a squad leader, and the biggest official he had ever been was a labor committee member.
Emperor Shin-Yin gave the problem to Wang Ben. As the highest person in charge of Lantian, Wang Ben naturally had the obligation and ability to summarize Zhao Si's all-round things.
Wang Ben also caught up with this problem. He had already prepared a series of documentary records, from the breeding methods of sweet potatoes to the cost of salt drying methods, to the exquisiteness of how many people were used, how long he worked, how much wood ash he consumed, and how much salt he produced.
It is naturally mixed with some small inventions that Zhao Si asked for military craftsmen from Wang Li, and made, the specific process, who made it, the drawings...all are backed up.
Obviously, Wang Ben, the old father, was worried about Wang Li.
These things should have been done by Wang Li, but Wang Li did not do them, but they were not done in detail. Wang Li didn't write some things at all. Now, such detailed reports and summary are all supplemented by Wang Ben alone.
Zhao Gao moved bamboo slips and silk to the second car of Emperor Shin-Emperor. In this era, bamboo abbreviation was indeed inconvenient. If the number of words was more and the report was more detailed, a bamboo slip was not enough.
The First Emperor reviewed more than 100 kilograms of bamboo slips a day, which is not nonsense. The reality is not like a TV series. Local officials summarized the people's livelihood in a few words.
There are so many things in the world, and the First Emperor must personally take care of everything. Those who are highly valued like Zhao Si have produced a lot of things. After a comprehensive introduction, it is normal to have several bundles of bamboo tubes.
"Can the spices of chili cumin still be retained?" The First Emperor looked at Zhao Si and asked.
Today is a great time for the First Emperor to have a great time, eating a small hot pot, a small barbecue, a small wine, and Zhao Si is telling stories next to him.
This also made the First Emperor, a non-gourish person, realize the deliciousness of these overseas spices.
The First Emperor was not a glutton, but the long-term loss of appetite was not a solution.
Even Xia Wuqi didn’t know how to condition it for a while, but it couldn’t always be like this. I couldn’t eat anything. How can I maintain my health?
If you have spices like chili cumin, cook some hot pot or something in the palace, you will always have some appetite. Only by eating what you can get better.
"Yes, but not much left." Zhao Si said with a smile. Zhao Si didn't eat much before, because there was really no ingredients, so it would be different for Wang Li, a big dog lover.
Wang Li can be said to have whatever you want, and Wang Li can get whatever meat he wants.
The two of them were raving, and the remaining peppers and other spices were only about ten kilograms left.
"Get some for me." The First Emperor spoke.
Zhao Si responded, but he was in trouble when he went to get it.
How much do you take to get some of them? I only have a dozen pounds left.
After thinking about it, Zhao Si simply left about two kilograms of spices and gave all the rest to the Emperor.
Zhao Gao took the spices offered by Zhao Si and loaded them together.
"Most of them have been planted in the ground, and there are only so many people here." Zhao Si said.
The First Emperor nodded and did not say a reward to Zhao Si, but signaled Wang Ben to leave the military site where Zhao Si and Wang Li were located.
Maybe he went back to the palace directly? Or maybe he was talking to Wang Ben about something else?
Zhao Si didn't know, he couldn't see it, and he had enough food and drink. After the First Emperor came, he drank a lot of wine. He was dizzy and sleepy, and he was too lazy to think about these things at this moment.
However, Wang Li seemed quite excited at this moment, and he grabbed Zhao Si's hands with both hands and jumped up and down.
"What are you doing?~" Zhao Si was pulled by Wang Li and staggered, and he was so hungry that he didn't come out.
"Brother! I'll ask you for your blessing!" Wang Li spoke excitedly, with the expression on his face vivid and lively.
"Hey! My father poured me some wine and meat in person!" Wang Li said as he looked full of smug smile.
"Brother!"
"My father either beats or scolds me, and he rarely has a good face!"
"Even colleagues are quite solemn, with few smiles, and all the ministers are afraid of my father!"
"Isn't it friendly to the people?" Zhao Si asked dizzily.
"How friendly to the people?" Wang Li was stunned.
"I heard that famous generals were all in charge of military service, and they were all in the same comrades, sleeping together, and eating together. Wu Qi was the soldier who was willing to be the one who dared to fight to die." Zhao Si replied.
"My father is not like this. He has always been rigorous in governing the army and is serious." Wang Li shook his head again as he said.
"It's not that, my father poured wine and cooked meat for me!" Wang Li was about to jump up excitedly.
"I haven't used to do this before?" Zhao Si asked.
"I have never been beaten to me since I can remember." Wang Li said confidently.
"That may be before you remember, after all, it's Daddy." Zhao Si said.
"No! Not this!" Wang Li spoke with a big tongue.
"My father can only do this to his eldest father! Hey!"
The treatment that he had never enjoyed before made Wang Li a little elated. When Emperor Wang Ben was there, Wang Li was like a humble little transparent. Once the two left, Wang Li seemed to be vivid and transparent.
"You want to say, you are like your eldest father today?" Zhao Si's face showed a few question marks.
"Hehe... hiccup..." Wang Li leaned on Zhao Si in a dizzy manner, not saying anything, but there was a silly smile on his face.
