Chapter 1 Langya Port, Returning from the Sea
In the thirty-sixth year of the reign of King Qin, Langya, wharf.
Several large ships lay in front of the harbor, their hulls dilapidated and weather-beaten.
Langya is close to the sea, this port is the largest port to the sea in Daqin, Xu Fu went to sea eight years ago, and it was from here.
At that time, the manpower and material resources of Daqin were gathered, a large number of large ships were built for going to sea, 3,000 boys and girls, all kinds of craftsmen, more than 1,000 soldiers, hundreds of large and small ships, and three years of food, clothing, medicine and farming tools, and under the leadership of Xu Fu, they went to the sea to seek immortals.
Before going to sea, the first emperor even ordered the Great Qin Ruishi to shoot Jiaoyu here, thinking that it was convenient to go to sea.
At that time, it was unprecedented, and thousands of people were empty!
After that, Xu Fu went to sea and there was no news, and eight years passed in a flash!
The marina is no longer as spectacular as it once was.
The Qin Dynasty's maritime trade was not developed, about equal to zero, with Xu Fu's going to sea, the only fleet of Daqin that was enough to sail across the sea disappeared without a trace, and the port of Langya was not suitable for inland water transportation, and the once sensational port of Langya finally returned to tranquility.
For example, more than a dozen seagoing ships have docked at the port today, which is a rare big scene in recent years.
"Is it the fleet back then?" Someone looked over, and it was vaguely seen that the flag was hanging on the ship, fluttering in the wind, with red characters on a black background and yellow edges, and a Qin character in the center.
It's just that except for the flag in the center, which looks more distinct, the flags on the rest of the ships are tattered and barely fluttering in the wind.
It can be seen that these ships belong to Daqin!
"Xu Fu came back from going to sea?"
It was here that Xu Fu went to sea eight years ago, and it is easy for local residents to think of it.
"Xu Fu found Penglai Immortal Island and saw the immortal seeking the immortal medicine?"
The onlookers were full of discussions and doubts......
And on the big ship, Zhao Si stepped on the deck, looking at the land that he had thought about countless times day and night, and fell into deep thought.
"It's back......"
"Although this is not my home either......"
Zhao Si sighed lightly, looked at the dock and looked at the crowd of onlookers, shaking his head with emotion.
He is not a man of this era, but a time-traveler.
In his previous life, he was addicted to all kinds of extreme sports, sailing exploration, and surviving in the wilderness, and finally received a Red Bull sponsorship, intending to play the feat of traveling around the world alone, but he encountered a thunderstorm, and then opened his eyes and came to the Qin Dynasty, and came to Xu Fu to go to sea for the first emperor to seek immortals, and became one of the three thousand boys and girls.
Zhao Si didn't have time to experience the customs of Daqin at all, and what he faced was the vast ocean.
Xu Fu has been looking for more than a year at sea, and the so-called Penglai Immortal Mountain is still nowhere to be found.
The long-term drift caused some mental problems, illness, confusion, and anxiety about not being able to complete the task to the people on board, and began to spread.
Zhao Si also relied on his adult mind and means to win the trust of most of his peers and became the backbone of most children.
Later, perhaps because of the increasing chaos on the ship, Xu Fu was gradually unable to command the fleet, or because Xu Fu knew that he might not be able to find the so-called Penglai Immortal Mountain at all.
While passing through a plain and vast land, Xu Fu had the idea of establishing himself as a king for the rest of his life.
So, under the bewitchment of Xu Fu, coupled with the increasing desperation of the crew and their desire for land, the fleet landed in Fuso.
Zhao Si knew that Xu Fu couldn't find the elixir of life, let alone the so-called Immortal Mountain Blessed Land, and he knew better than anyone else.
It's just that he was still young at that time and was powerless to stop it.
It's not that no one has questioned Xu Fu's decision, and it's not that there are no righteous people who are still loyal to Great Qin, it's just that the desire to live is the nature of most people.
But Zhao Si didn't want to stay in Fusang......
Staying in Fusang and isolating himself from the Central Plains from now on, maybe with his prestige among the boys, he will be able to be a great nobleman in Fusang in the future?
And then what?
Intermarriage with local natives? Combine? Finally multiplying?
At last...... Be a part of that sinful race in person?
And then affectionately called Little Day?
Zhao Si can't do it...... Although this is no longer his world, he still doesn't want to succumb to the little Fusang, even if he travels through time and space, his feet don't set foot on the land of Zhuxia, his heart will never be at peace.
Later, Zhao Si grew up day by day, and with his own prestige and mind, he became famous and trusted by Xu Fu.
Xu Fu is a smart man, and he knows that his basic plate is actually these three thousand boys and girls.
Zhao Si has also become Xu Fu's key training object.
Three years later, Zhao Si's prestige grew, and he secretly contacted people who cherished his homeland, gathered 900 people, and took the ship away.
Embarked on a journey around the world......
Thanks to the experience of the previous life, as well as the gold finger that crossed over and some small luck.
Zhao Si successfully completed the feat of circumnavigating the world during the Qin Dynasty, finding sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, and personally drawing world maps and nautical charts and safe shipping lanes.
This is gone...... That's five whole years!
Only a dozen of the more than 30 ships that were taken out were left, and only more than 400 of the more than 900 crew members were taken away.
Now, he has finally sailed to the territory of Great Qin.
"Brother...... Your Majesty really won't offend us? Beside him, a short, thin, dark-skinned man asked, exposing his upper body.
The young man's name is Jing, one of the three thousand boys and girls when he first went to sea, and he crossed through Zhao Si and followed Zhao Si's buttocks.
According to Jing, his family is in Nanyang, with both parents, two brothers, and more than 200 acres of cultivated land, which is a standard well-off family.
Jing was first bewitched by Zhao Si and never gave up his nostalgia for home, but eight years passed in a flash, and the little guy who would cry bitterly when he thought of home had become Zhao Si's trustworthy right-hand man.
"Don't worry!" Zhao Si patted Jing's shoulder.
"Your Majesty is not a person who kills indiscriminately......"
Qin Shi Huang's reputation is indeed not very good, whether it is a history book or a current folk comment.
But to be honest, according to what Zhao Si learned in his previous life, the first emperor did not kill heroes indiscriminately after he ruled the world, and he did not even hang the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, so the killing intention was not too heavy.
Emperor Hei Shihei was upright, and finally enjoyed his old age in peace.
Seeing that the First Emperor did not pay homage, he also opened his mouth to criticize the First Emperor's imprisoned mother, such a taboo thing, and the First Emperor still entrusted the First Emperor with a heavy responsibility.
What's more, after Zhao Si seized the ship, he did not return to Qin directly, but traveled around the world under the pretext of continuing to carry out the king's order, drew maps and charts, and found three kinds of sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and various spices and vegetable seeds, which returned to Qin.
Sum up......
It was Xu Fu who coaxed the First Emperor, what do I have to do with such loyal and courageous people?
Not to mention that they also brought back sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and spice seeds.
The blackened body of the first emperor was not recorded as indiscriminate killing of courtiers, and if he had such an act, it was foolproof to return to Qin.
Jing heard Zhao Si's affirmative words, nodded, and looked at the land not far away, with a yearning smile on his face.
Not only Jing, but everyone on the ship trusted Zhao Si......
Zhao Si is always like this, when he just went to sea, he had a temperament that people couldn't help but be close to and trust.
