Chapter Forty-Seven: I'm Like My Father Today
The conversation with Zhao Si made the First Emperor feel that he was not up or down.
After all, Zhao Si is not a professional, he is just a modern person with some experience in sea navigation, not a professional geographer, nor a qualified politician.
Zhao Si just opened the door to a new world for the First Emperor, but what was inside the door, Zhao Si himself did not know, he was not a professional historian, and it was impossible to talk about the world of this era.
If Daqin wants to understand the world, he still needs to continue to explore, and he needs to send out a more comprehensive and professional fleet.
It is necessary to send official envoys of Great Qin to establish contact with the world, so that we can have a more comprehensive understanding of how many countries there are in the world, what kind of political structure these countries have, how many populations, how many industries, and how many technologies, only in this way can we assess whether Great Qin can gain benefits at sea, and whether Great Qin can open the sea as the direction of the future.
As for inventions such as salt making and the specific cultivation methods of the three new grains, Emperor Shi did not ask much.
It's not that it's not important, but the conversation between the First Emperor and Zhao Si can obviously feel Zhao Si's tenderness.
Zhao Si's political literacy is in a relatively barren state, in other words, the current Zhao Si does not have the ability to summarize and report in detail, what the first emperor wants to hear from Zhao Si's mouth will be very fragmented and miscellaneous, chat and tell stories, the ability to report work, Zhao Si is still far behind.
This is normal, Zhao Si is a normal person.
The focus of a conversation as understood by a normal person and the focus of a conversation understood by a politician are not at all the same concept.
Zhao Si crossed over and was on the sea ship, how long has it been since he returned? How is it possible to be politically literate? Just kidding, Zhao Si has never even been a squad leader, and the biggest official he has ever been is a labor commissar.
The First Emperor threw the question to Wang Ben, and Wang Ben, as the supreme person in charge of Lantian, naturally had the obligation and ability to summarize Zhao Si's everything.
And Wang Ben also took over this problem, he had already prepared a series of documents, from the breeding method of sweet potatoes and potatoes, to the cost of the salt drying method, down to how many people were used, how long they worked, how much plant ash was consumed, and how much salt was produced.
Naturally, Zhao Si begged for a military craftsman from Wang Li, and some small inventions were made, the specific process, who made them, and the drawings...... All have backups.
Obviously, Wang Ben, the old father, was heartbroken for Wang Li.
These things should have been done by Wang Li, Wang Li did not do it, but it was not done in detail enough, some things Wang Li did not write at all, and now such a detailed report and summary are all supplemented by Wang Ben alone.
Zhao Gao put a stack of bamboo slips and silks on the first emperor's deputy car, this era of bamboo slips is indeed inconvenient to write, the number of words but a little more, the report is a little more detailed, a bamboo slips are not enough.
It is not nonsense that the first emperor reviews more than 100 catties of bamboo slips a day, and the reality is not like a TV series, and the local official Liao Liao summed up the livelihood of the people in a place with a few strokes.
There are so many things in the world, and the first emperor must bow down to everything, and people like Zhao Si who are quite valued have made a lot of things, and after a comprehensive introduction, it is normal to have several bundles of bamboo tubes.
"Are there any spices left in pepper, cumin, or so on?" The First Emperor looked at Zhao Si and asked.
Today can be regarded as a fun meal for the First Emperor, eating a small hot pot, eating a small barbecue, drinking a little wine, and Zhao Si telling a story next to him.
This also made the First Emperor, who was not a glutton, aware of the deliciousness of these overseas spices.
The First Emperor was not a glutton, but a long loss of appetite was not a solution.
Even Xia Wuhe doesn't know how to regulate for a while, but it can't always be like this, he can't eat, how to raise a good body?
If you have the help of spices such as chili cumin, you can cook a small hot pot or something in the palace, you will always have some appetite, and you can eat something, and your body can get better.
"Yes, there is not much left." Zhao Si said with a smile, Zhao Si didn't eat before, because there were really no ingredients, and it was different from Wang Li, a big dog.
Wang Li can be said to have whatever he wants, and he can get whatever meat he wants.
The two of them were quacked, and the remaining chili peppers and other spices added up to a dozen catties.
"Take some for me." The First Emperor spoke.
Zhao Si responded, but when he went to get it, he made a difficulty.
How much do you take with some of this? I only have a dozen pounds left.
After thinking about it, Zhao Si simply left about two catties of spices, and gave the rest to the First Emperor.
Zhao Gao took the spices offered by Zhao Si and loaded them into the car.
"Most of them have been planted in the ground, and there are only so many of them here." Zhao Si opened his mouth and said.
The First Emperor nodded, and did not open his mouth to reward Zhao Si, but motioned for Wang Benyu to leave the military station where Zhao Si and Wang Li were in a car with him.
Maybe it's just going back to the palace? Or maybe talk to Wang Ben about something else?
Zhao Si didn't know, he couldn't see it, and he was full of food and drink, after the first emperor came, he drank a lot of wine, his head was dizzy, and he was sleepy, and he didn't bother to think about these things at the moment.
It was Wang Li, who seemed quite excited at the moment, holding Zhao Si's hand with both hands and jumping up and down.
"What are you doing~~" Zhao Si was dragged by Wang Li, so he couldn't hang out.
"Brother! Thanks to you! Wang Li opened his mouth excitedly, and the expression on his face was vivid and lively.
"Hey! My dad poured me wine and meat himself! Wang Li said with a smug smile on his face.
"Brother!"
"My dad scolds me and scolds me, and he rarely has a good face!"
"Even among colleagues, they are quite solemn, rarely smiling, and their subordinates are afraid of my father!"
"Not close to the people?" Zhao Si asked dizzily.
"How close to the people?" Wang Li was stunned.
"I heard that famous generals govern soldiers, they are all in the same robes, sleep together, eat together, Wu Qi is a soldier Yunchuang, and a soldier has the heart to fight and die." Zhao Si replied.
"My father is not like this, he has always been strict in governing the army, and he is not smiling." Wang Li shook his head as he spoke.
"It's not about this, my father pours wine and cooks meat for me!" Wang Li jumped up excitedly.
"Haven't you been like this before?" Zhao Si asked.
"Surely not since I can remember." Wang Li said with an oath.
"That may be before you can remember, it's your father, after all." Zhao Si said.
"It's not! Not this one! Wang Li spoke with a big tongue.
"My Father is only like this to the Great! Hey! ”
The treatment that he has never enjoyed makes Wang Li a little fluttery, when Wang Benshi Emperor was there, Wang Li was like a humble little transparent, as soon as the two left, Wang Li looked fresh and transparent.
"Are you trying to say that you are like your father today?" Zhao Si had a few question marks on his face.
"Hey...... Hiccup...... "Wang Li leaned on Zhao Si in a daze, and he didn't speak, but he still had a smirk on his face.
