The world has been a bit chaotic recently, and the Han autonomous regions are in full swing. Confucianism has given full play to its advantages, abolished the strict laws of the Qin Dynasty, reduced taxes, and at the same time encouraged farming, the birth of children, and active recuperation.
This behavior made some anti-Qin people who came here to seek refuge dissatisfied. They were living like they were preparing for war. They wanted to resist the Qin Dynasty and eliminate tyranny.
But there is no more tyranny in the autonomous region, so why do they want to fight? Haven't they fought enough? The people don't want to fight, they just want to live a peaceful life, cultivate the fields well, and stop building the Great Wall or the Lishan Mausoleum.
Zhang Liang and others also knew the demands of the people, so they chose to recuperate. However, they also realized a problem, that is, without Dulan's resources, the people in these 150 cities would not have such a good life. They also
Dulan is getting more and more confused. If it was a bet, shouldn't he try to destroy the livelihood of this hundred and fifty cities? Why is Dulan so kind? Or is he confident that he can build other cities better?
When Duran saw that Dinisha was ready, he decided to speed up and build the fleet to travel around the world first. Working overtime, and with the help of Jin people, the huge hull changed every day.
This is going to sea and requires a crew and a person in charge.
Du Lan went to the court and asked the emperor to ask Li Si or Zhao Gao to go overseas. After Li Si and Zhao Gao learned about Du Lan's plan, they both scolded Du Lan for being so exclusive of dissidents. The sea was unpredictable. If they died outside, Da Qin would be Du Lan.
Lan alone has the final say.
Li Si and Zhao Gao saw that Du Lan attacked them so quickly, and they all said that Du Lan was a sinister and terrifying person, and they found such a reason without revealing anything.
Such an important overseas plan really requires a heavyweight to control it. It is indeed appropriate that both Li Si and Zhao Gao are the emperor's right-hand men. The emperor would definitely choose one of them if he did not consider it carefully.
After receiving the news, Li Si broke his own leg. He couldn't leave the center of power in Da Qin to take risks anyway. Why should he go to sea if he has done a good job as a prime minister?
Zhao Gao originally wanted to pretend to be ill, but he didn't expect Li Si to be so clever. If he refused now, it would make the false emperor unhappy, so he decided to recommend another person to replace him. Zhao Gao used his eloquent tongue to persuade
A young eunuch under him boasted that there was nothing in the sky or on the earth. He knew that the false emperor was Hu Hai, and he knew that Hu Hai had the weakest temperament, so he would definitely listen to him.
Sure enough, Hu Hai was very curious when he heard that Zhao Gao praised a young eunuch so much. In addition, Zhao Gao and Du Lan supported him as emperor, and they couldn't bear Zhao Gao to go to the sea to enjoy the sun and wind, so he agreed to let the young eunuch lead the fleet.
The name of this little eunuch was Cai He. He was originally just a little eunuch who served Zhao Gao in his daily life. Unexpectedly, he suddenly became the chief helmsman of an entire fleet.
Du Lanxin said okay, the combination of Cai Lun and Zheng He, Cai Lun made paper, and Zheng He went to the West. Let’s talk about the interview first. There are many eunuchs with talents and talents, so we can’t discriminate against them. But when talking about Cai Lun, Du Lan thought that there was no paper making yet.
All books now are made of silk and bamboo slips, which is not conducive to preservation and circulation.
So when Cai He arrived at Songhai City, Dulan gave him a task, which was to make paper according to his secret recipe. If he succeeded, he would be appointed as the helmsman of the Global Fleet.
Cai He was actually only fifteen years old, but it had been three years since he entered the palace. He was originally from Xianyang, but his father gambled and lost all his property, and because his mother remarried, his relatives were unwilling to take care of him, so when he was twelve years old,
Cai He himself became a eunuch and spent the past three years working in the palace. Because of his cleverness, he was chosen by Zhao Gao to take care of him.
When it comes to ability and determination, Cai He is not short of it. He has never felt inferior because he was inhumane. Anyway, it is not easy to survive in this era. How many people starve to death on the streets and how many people die in foreign lands. Cai He has seen a lot.
The important thing is to survive.
After being recommended by Zhao Gao, Cai He was still uneasy because he knew that the Great Master was a terrifying person who could break the prime minister's leg with just one suggestion and make Zhao Gao sleepless at night.
In the palace, the most important thing is to have good eyesight, and you must not offend anyone you cannot afford to offend. The Great Imperial Master is definitely the one who should not be offended in the Qin Dynasty. So after Cai He got the mission, he immediately went to collect raw materials, and he would definitely give it to the manufacturer.
The paper was produced to the satisfaction of the great national master.
Although I don’t know what paper is.
Cai He used his subjective initiative, and in just five days, the first batch of papers was placed in front of Dulan, and they were of first-class quality.
As expected, he was a very capable young eunuch. Dulan was very satisfied: "Very good, you have passed the test, but the name Cai He is too weak in the West. I will give you the name, and you will be called Dongfang Bubai from now on!" "I
I will teach you how to distinguish the direction at sea and become a qualified 'helmsman'."
Dongfang Undefeated?! Cai He was shocked again and again. He didn't know how to react, because this title was so shocking. He, a little eunuch, simply couldn't bear it.
"Don't be nervous. If I say you are Dongfang Invincible, I am Dongfang Invincible. I will teach you the "Sunflower Book" and make you a world-famous eunuch!"
Cai He's mind turned quickly, he gritted his teeth and bowed to the ground: "Thank you, Master." The Grand Master definitely has thighs, thicker thighs than Zhao Gao, and the Grand Master has taught him so many things. How could he not hug his thighs at this time?
"Teach me martial arts and teach me the foundation of my life. The Great Master is truly my mentor."
Zhao Gao did not recommend the wrong person. Dulan smiled: "If I don't give you an identity, I'm afraid the people in the fleet will not be able to convince you. Anyway, let's accept you as my registered disciple. This is a treatment that even Emperor Qin did not have. You
You must work hard in the future." Dulan didn't even know how many named disciples he had, but Cai He was definitely the first eunuch to be accepted as a disciple by Dulan.
"Thank you, Grand Master, for your kindness." Cai He was so excited that he hugged the thickest thigh in the Qin Dynasty: "Disciple promises to complete Master's mission."
To promote paper, we should first start with officials at all levels in the Qin State, and then sell it to civilians at very low prices, so that the paper can be circulated quickly.
"Your Excellency Donghuang, Duran's fleet is almost completed. I don't know what magic method he used. All the corvees worked desperately, and it was completed one step ahead of our mirage." Moon God reported to Donghuang Taiyi.
The latest information.
"It seems that he is really ready to prove that the world is round." Donghuang Taiyi said: "Ignore him, as long as we make the elixir of life, we will still be the emperor's most trusted person." Donghuang Taiyi is still very '
loyal.
Finally, Duran's fleet is about to set off. The reason why it is so fast is because Duran also secretly helped. The training of the crew is also completed directly through initiation. If it is carried out at the normal speed, it may not be ready for another two years.
Okay. Anyway, there are all kinds of black technologies in this world, so Duran didn't waste time. He prepared the fleet three times, five times and two times, and then went to sea.
Cai He stood on the bow of the ship and bowed to Duran three times, saying goodbye to his mentor. This time, the ship was loaded with all kinds of goods, including porcelain, silk and paper. Of course, you can also grow vegetables on the ship, and fresh water is naturally indispensable.
If you encounter other indigenous civilizations along the way, it is also Dulan's task to conduct transactions. But if someone is up to no good, let them know how powerful Dongfang Bubai is.
