New Volume: The Take-off of the Great Qin Empire

……………………………………

A.D. 11, autumn. (PS: As mentioned earlier, the protagonist changed the epoch law and set the year when Qin unified the six kingdoms as the first year.) ）

Since the spring inspection to the south, nearly half a year has passed, and Li Yang and his entourage have finally completed the work of going south to inspect, and then through Hunan, into Hubei, to Bashu, back to Xianyang, Guanzhong.

It can be said that the inspection work in the south has gone even more smoothly than expected, and it can even be said that it is even better than expected.

Not only did talents like Zhang Liang and the public loss book be discovered, but also under the talent of the public loss book, the flying clipping technology of later generations, which spanned thousands of years, was understood and applied.

This is a big leap in the history of navigation, and Li Yang believes that in the near future, the advent of Daqin's clippers is just around the corner.

At that time, Daqin, whether it is maritime trade or naval construction, will make great strides forward.

The crops and rubber of the Americas can be transported back to Daqin through sea trade in large quantities, and Daqin's navy can dominate the world, especially with the blessing of the artillery invented by the public loss book, who can match the fleet equipped with artillery in the maritime war? It can smash you into sawdust in minutes and wipe you out.

In short, as long as the clipper ship is built, Daqin's goal of dominating the world can be filled with imagination.

In addition to the great progress made in the maritime manufacturing industry, Li Yang continued to increase his efforts to encourage the production of crystal and glass in the south.

At the same time, they are also instructed in the manufacture of glass.

Because crystal and glass crafts will be able to make a lot of money in world trade in the future.

After all, in history, glass is one of the earliest artificial materials invented by mankind, and it is also the most popular trade item, which has played an important role in the process of human civilization.

For example, on the original Silk Road in China, China imported silk into the West as a bulk trade commodity, and glass was one of the main trade goods imported to China from the West. In Western Asia, Egypt, and Europe, glass has always been a luxury item for the upper classes, with the same value as gold and gemstones.

It can be said that as long as Daqin can produce a large number of glass handicrafts, under the future world trade, it can continue to exchange for world wealth. So, crystal, glass craft, this is a huge gold mine.

At the same time, Li Yang was also dissatisfied with this southward inspection.

That's the speed of traffic!

For Li Yang, who was accustomed to high-speed transportation networks such as airplanes and high-speed trains in later generations, this kind of transportation by horseback was too slow.

From Xianyang to Guangdong in the south, half a year has passed back and forth, can this not make Li Yang in later generations feel pain?

This is time-consuming and time-consuming, and the most important thing is that the transportation of goods between the north and the south is the most troublesome.

During his visit to the south, he found that due to the inconvenience of transportation, many goods from the south would not be transported to the north, especially fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as goods that were easy to spoil on the way. The goods from the north are also rarely transported to the south, which makes it inconvenient for trade between the north and south of Great Qin.

For a country, it is inconvenient to circulate domestic commercial goods, so it is impossible to establish a commercial society, develop handicrafts, and achieve the goal of economic prosperity.

Therefore, in Li Yang's view, this situation must be solved.

Airplanes, trains, it's certainly impossible at the moment. But the canal is perfectly fine.

Therefore, after Li Yang decided to return to Xianyang, he planned to start the canal project, and decided to connect the five major water systems of the Haihe River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, the Yangtze River, and the Qiantang River into a unified water transportation network, so as to realize the miracle of the working people's transformation of nature thousands of years ahead of schedule.

In this way, not only the goods in Daqin, but also in the north and south can be circulated through the water transportation network, and even if they are overseas goods, they can also be transferred at the wharf where the Haihe River meets, and go directly to various regions in Daqin, which is not too convenient.

Of course, this is a grand project, and it cannot be completed overnight, but the first step must be taken in the millennium plan, right?

…………

The horse team entered the customs and went straight to Xianyang City.

Seeing this familiar and unfamiliar capital city of Gyeonggi, Li Yang was also very excited and quite emotional.

Familiarly, this is Xianyang.

What is strange is that it has only been half a year now, and Xianyang has undergone earth-shaking changes, which is refreshing.

The neatly planned and wide streets, lined with plants, make the streets of Xianyang City look colorful and colorful.

Some of them are green plants in all seasons, and now in autumn, they are still lush.

Some of the streets are planted with ginkgo, which is golden and splendid, and the scenery is beautiful.

There is also a park in the center of Xianyang City, although it has not yet been completed, but it has been first glimpsed of its shape, and flowers and trees have also been planted, it looks as if in the middle of this prosperous and vast Xianyang City, there is a green garden, which is amazing.

To be honest, Li Yang is still very emotional about Fusu.

This man, in history, was given to death by a forged edict due to the change of the sand dunes. This also made the Great Qin Empire finally buried in the hands of Hu Hai, which has to be said to be very sad and lamentable.

And now, because of his arrival and efforts, he has not only changed the fate of Daqin, but also the fate of Fusu.

Although Ying Zheng has been away from Daqin for a year, under the supervision of Fusu, Daqin has been walking very smoothly, which is what makes Li Yang feel the most gratified.

Under the premise of strong national strength, the people in charge of the government can be benevolent and can rule by doing nothing, which is the happiest era for the people. And Fusu is such a person.

Too many monarchs and emperors in history can do whatever it takes to work for their own merits and desires. Although Fusu also wanted to demolish and rebuild Xianyang City on a large scale for his own merits, he could give up under Li Yang's persuasion, which is the best proof.

What made Li Yang most gratifying was the news that Fusu eradicated the Bai Zheng Party in one fell swoop and firmly implemented the national policy of the New Deal reform.

This not only represents Fusu's trust in him, but also represents that Daqin will continue to unswervingly implement the national policy of new policy reform in the future, which is the most important thing for Li Yang.

Because in history, many changes in Tuqiang actually failed because they were not implemented in depth, and often the next monarch was abolished, which is the most terrible.

And Li Yang saw in Fusu's body the hope that Daqin would continue to implement the new policy.

Looking at this beautified garden capital, a poem suddenly appeared in Li Yang's mind: Facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming-

From tomorrow onwards, be a happy person

Feed the horses, chop wood, and travel the world

From tomorrow, care about food and vegetables

I have a house facing the sea and spring is blooming

From tomorrow onwards, we will communicate with each and every one of our loved ones

Tell them about my happiness

The blissful lightning told me

I'm going to tell everybody

Give every river and every mountain a warm name

Stranger, I bless you too

May you have a bright future

May a lover eventually become a family

May you be blessed on earth

I just want to face the sea and bloom in spring......

The imagery in Haizi's poem is vast, relaxed, and vibrant, and it is the land of requiem, the land of struggle, the land of ideals, the spiritual destination of the author as a "son of the sea", and the place where he can find true happiness.

Facing the sea, the spring flowers are blooming, it is a kind of mirage, but for Li Yang, who is also an idealist, what he wants to do is to turn the mirage-like happiness in the poem into reality.

He wants to use the knowledge and vision of later generations to change the world, so that the dream of Daqin can open in his own sea of happiness, in the pursuit of his ideals, and let the people of Daqin live everything in the poems, feed horses, chop wood, care about food and vegetables, so that a happy life can fly, and the Great Qin Empire can take off!

This is Li Yang's ideal, and it is also the only meaningful spiritual pursuit that he believes has traveled to this era.
