Some people say that a very important factor in the fall of the Qin Dynasty was the lack of a world map.

After the powerful Great Qin Empire, which rose to prominence with a military merit system, swept through the Six Kingdoms with powerful and efficient farming and manufacturing technology, this system born for war suddenly had no use.

The old Qin people had no war and could return to the fields and enjoy the benefits brought by the title, while the nobles and common people of the other six countries who had just been included in the rule could no longer obtain their titles and benefits through the means of war like the old Qin people, so they were forced to fall victim to the military merit system.

Under the military merit system, even if it is a prince and a grandson, without military merits, he is not allowed to be knighted, and he can't even enter the genealogy.

The first emperor's own son is still like this, not to mention the original nobles of the Six Kingdoms?

Without common interests, and in a short period of time, without the formation of a cultural and psychological identity, this empire cannot form a strong centripetal force.

The nobles of the Six Kingdoms, who had no way forward and were unwilling to lose their aristocratic status, could only rise up and resist. When the First Emperor was alive, they could do nothing but sneak around, like rats, to engage in some shady small actions, as soon as the First Emperor died, they took advantage of the situation and once again set off a war to extinguish the tyrannical Qin, a war under the slogan of exterminating the tyrannical Qin, but in fact a war of re-division of interests.

Therefore, after crossing over, Zhao Ying has been thinking about finding an opportunity to give the First Emperor, the ministers, and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms who lost their aristocratic status in the process of the First Emperor's unification of the world.

Give them a chance to regain their own interests and fight for their own status.

It also gives this empire a gap to vent internal grievances and contradictions!

On this day, he has been preparing.

After the crossing, he has been collecting information about the countries of the Western Regions with great fanfare, borrowing books about the countries of the Western Regions, exercising, and in addition to working hard, he also personally met some business travelers from the Western Regions.

In order to make today's statement, let yourself have traces to follow!

Convincing!

There is credibility!

Zhao Ying held the half-burnt blackened branch, and while drawing a rough geographical outline, he introduced the world beyond Great Qin to everyone.

"Passing through the Hexi Corridor, there are the rich and golden kingdoms of the Western Regions, and further west, there is a small country that is said to be called Bactria, with Parthia to the west and a huge empire to the south, the Mauryan Empire, ......"

With Zhao Ying's narration, a brand-new, unheard of vast world appeared in the eyes of the First Emperor and a group of civil and military ministers, and everyone was shocked in their eyes.

Especially when they heard about the existence of the Mauryan Empire, the Seleucid Empire and the Roman Empire, which were comparable to the Great Qin Empire, their hearts were even more shocked.

The First Emperor, in particular, almost burst into flames in his eyes.

I thought that the world was so big, but it was just the desert steppe occupied by the Xiongnu in the east to the East China Sea, the South China Sea in the south, and the barren and desolate barbarian land in the west.

It wasn't until Zhao Ying drew the entire Eurasian continent and South Africa that the First Emperor couldn't help but be high-spirited when he looked at this huge map and saw that Qin State only occupied that pitiful small piece of land.

"Order the Black Ice Terrace and the counties of Longxi to investigate with all their might—"

Wang Jian was even more careful to hold the map drawn by Zhao Ying in his hand, this is all a treasure, compared to the stingy old general Wang Qian, and the first emperor was much calmer, and glanced at Zhao Ying.

"Ying'er, after you go back, hurry up and draw a new copy for me - write a detailed note and send it to me with you......"

"No!"

Zhao Ying bowed down to receive the order with a serious face.

Because of this map, everyone is no longer in the mood to continue the barbecue hunt, and they are silently digesting this shocking news and the possible follow-up effects of this news.

But there is one thing in common, that is, almost no one in this group of bigwigs who started with military merits is willing to give up the pace of continuing to fight.

Only Zhao Ying, although his face was calm, his heart was a little inexplicably heavy.

He suddenly became a little unsure about his long-planned plan to dedicate pictures.

Is this bait thrown by yourself really right?

Can it alleviate the contradictions that are about to break out in Great Qin, and will it drag Great Qin into the quagmire of war in which the army is reckless, and the people and money are lost? Many things, standing on the shore and pointing fingers, are completely different from the feeling of being in the water.

Maybe......

But, I want to live!

Zhao Ying picked up the wine man in front of him, held it high, and paused-

Drink it all!

Then there was a long sigh of relief.

"I am willing to be the gun in the hands of the great father, open up the territory for the eldest father, and make miraculous achievements!"

It's useless to look ahead and look back, since it's done, then open up, Zhao Ying, who is carrying the wine, suddenly has a transparent liver and gallbladder, and is full of spirit.

"Great, my grandson!"

The First Emperor looked at the heroic grandson in front of him, and only felt happy in his heart, although my sons are not successful, but I have a grandson!

"Come, drink this cup full, for my grandson, for Da Qin-"

The First Emperor raised his glass in the air.

Suddenly, you heard a deafening echo.

"Congratulations for His Highness, congratulations for Daqin-"

Ah, this-

Fooling people, fooling people is so much that even I am a little hot-blooded, what should I do?

……

Shaofu, East Garden.

The difficulty of the power water spinning wheel is the huge water wheel, with Tsubaki and other young craftsmen who have experience in building water wheels to join, those skilled old craftsmen, suddenly enlightened.

Once the difficulties were overcome, under the huge and efficient operation of Shaofu, a brand-new hydraulic spinning wheel was successfully erected on the water.

Shi Lu, who rushed to hear the news, looked at the beating guy in front of him who was driving more than fifty spindles at the same time, spinning at a speed far beyond manpower, and was so excited that he almost pulled his beard bald.

It's done!

It really works!

Young Man's creativity is simply incredible, ingenious!

"Okay, well done, this official wants to personally ask His Majesty for credit!"

Speaking of this, Shi Lu turned around excitedly.

"Come, prepare the horse, this official is going to report the good news to His Majesty—"

……

Upper Forest Garden.

The crowd who was about to end suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and they couldn't help but be shocked, and they stopped their movements and looked at it with some surprise.

Isn't there a rebellion somewhere?

It wasn't until he came close and found Shi Lu on horseback that he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was good that it wasn't a rebellion, but the doubts in his heart were deeper.

What is the situation that can make this one of the Nine Qings, Shi Shaofu, who is known for his caution and calmness, behave like this?

PS: Tomorrow the wake continues. I'll see if I can find time to squeeze out the second chapter, and I guess it'll be too late.
