In the few days that Zhao Si was away, without the influence of the aura of Puyu, the body of the First Emperor continued to deteriorate, and the deterioration of his body led to low mood, coupled with the addiction of forcibly quitting Jindan, so that he couldn't eat well or sleep well in the past few days.

The First Emperor hated the feeling of running out of energy and about to get out of his grasp.

Now, although the food is bland and tasteless, it seems to have a little more fun and tranquility in daily life.

The noisy chirping of cicadas, the dazzling sun, and the slightly cool Bingjian breeze blew through the doors and windows.

Quiet afternoon, one big and one small, one old and one young.

The First Emperor leaned on the recliner, his chest rose and fell slightly, and Zhao Si lay on top of a few bamboo slips on the case, snoring slightly.

Perhaps the feeling of heat is getting heavier and heavier, and Zhao Si's voice is getting louder and louder.

Until...... Booming like thunder, the first emperor who was lying quietly on the recliner moved his eyelids slightly, as if he was awake, his fingers moved slightly, he opened his eyes and raised his head sideways, and looked at it, but he saw Zhao Si lying on the desk, already on all fours, and even with a lot of bamboo slips on the desk, many fell to the ground.

Being woken up can be unpleasant, especially for people with sleep disorders.

It is already very difficult to fall asleep, and it is extremely easy to wake up, and it is really uncomfortable to be woken up rashly, without proper rest, and when you open your eyes, you feel tired.

Fortunately...... It's a nap in the afternoon.

Fortunately...... Because of the shrouded aura of jade, even if the First Emperor only slept for half an hour, he still felt energetic and full. There is no feeling of discomfort after being woken up.

It's also good to ...... The First Emperor didn't find Zhao Si very offended, and even found it a little funny.

Man is a strange creature, and no matter how rude and transgressive behavior is, it will not be unacceptable when there is a good feeling, but when the good feeling is gone, no matter what you do, it is wrong.

The smile on the face of the First Emperor was undisguised, although he had gained enough rest at the moment, but the First Emperor did not get up immediately, but leaned sideways on the recliner, one hand slightly supported his head, and tilted his head to look at Zhao Si's thunderous roar.

The First Emperor didn't find it noisy......

Just found it interesting...... Who was the last time someone was so rude to themselves? And where?

Weak? Or Lü Buwei? Or Ganro? Or is it Chang Yu? Or is it his own brother Chengqiao?

What about the last courtier who was so close to tolerance?

The First Emperor stared at Zhao Si with a smile, this kid ...... Very good.

Zhao Si is indeed a child in front of the First Emperor, and with the age of the First Emperor being nearly fifty, it is more than enough to be Zhao Si's grandfather in this era.

A pure heart is the most commendable, the first emperor can feel that Zhao Si's respect and fear for him are mostly out of courtesy rather than heart, but he can also feel Zhao Si's undisguised closeness and admiration for himself, this feeling is very wonderful.

The first emperor was not in a hurry to deal with official business, but just looked at Zhao Si quietly, the current Zhao Si, let's say a blank piece of paper, has not yet experienced the edification of power and wealth, as he grows older, such a picture will only become less and less.

Zhao Si, who was asleep, didn't know anything, he only felt the smoke from the hot weather......

The sun in the summer was shining directly, even if there was Bingjian, it would not help, Zhao Si subconsciously turned his body a few times, only to feel that his head was covered with sweat, and he was groggy for a long time, before he finally overcame sleepiness and raised his head.

He still remembered that he was still in the palace, and he fell asleep in front of the king, but it was rude.

After waking up, Zhao Si immediately looked up at the place of the First Emperor on the recliner.

"Well, it's still lying down......" Zhao Si settled a little in his heart, rubbed his hazy eyes, and then looked at it, but saw that the First Emperor was looking at him with a smile.

"Go get some cold water!"

The first emperor's original bad taste was to scare Zhao Si slightly, but Zhao Si raised his head, his face was full of red marks pressed by bamboo slips, one by one as if he was wearing a mask, and with messy and sweat-soaked hair, the comedy effect was directly full, and the first emperor still failed to get serious in the end.

After Zhao Si turned around to receive the order, the first emperor's still tense face instantly relaxed, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes rippled.

Zhao Si, this kid can always come out with something amusing in unexpected places......

By the time Zhao Si returned from fetching water, Zhao Si's appearance had been tidied up, his hair was re-tied, his hairstyle was re-tied, and his sweat was wiped clean, but the marks on his face would be difficult to fade for a while, and he still looked full of jokes.

The First Emperor reached into the bowl, wiped his cheeks and hands with a wet towel, and after tidying up his demeanor a little, he took advantage of the gap between Zhao Si and went out to waste a lot of energy before re-entering the working state.

Not to mention, a reasonable nap made the first emperor work more energetically, and after waking up, it only took an hour to complete the rest of the work.

The feeling of being handy and smooth-thinking was more comfortable than the effect of taking Jindan before, which made the First Emperor feel very relieved, it was rare to finish handling government affairs so early, and the First Emperor put his hands on his knees and looked at Zhao Si, who was working seriously.

"In three days, a court meeting will be held, and then we will discuss going to sea, has the waterway been planned now?" The First Emperor asked.

In fact, Su Feng had already written a book and patted his chest to assure the First Emperor that the preparation was foolproof, and Su Feng really made his old book this time, and almost used all his energy, not only to gather the core outstanding disciples of the Yin and Yang family, but also a large number of Qi Di Shi clan.

Among them, mineral prospecting, stargazing, sea exploration, and the necessary clerks and officials are basically fully prepared.

Now what we are waiting for is the decision of the court, and then the sea will be opened.

The Great Dynasty is not held every day, but the decision on the future direction of Daqin, coupled with the fact that Zhao Si brought back three immortal seeds from overseas, although Zhao Si has already said that there are no immortal mountain immortals overseas, but the three kinds of grain still cast a veil of mystery overseas.

Everyone is excited!

Zhao Si brought back so many good things in one trip, so what can he bring back with more professional people and more detailed exploration this time?

All these factors add up, the second time to go to sea, it is obviously impossible not to hold a great court meeting, and the Yin and Yang family, which has been silent for a long time, also needs to regain its momentum.

The first emperor also set a date for the convening of the court meeting, which is actually a formality, and all the policy decisions at the court meeting like this are made in advance.

On weekdays, you can express your own opinions, and you want to express your thoughts and be maverick in the court, which is to find yourself unhappy.

"It's been planned, I have discussed it with my husband for a long time, and I can't find any fault with the sea route plan set by my husband, but it's a pity that there are too few sea ships in Daqin now...... I can't afford to send too many ships overseas to explore. Zhao Si sighed.

"The minister knows that Langya Penglai has begun to continue to build new ships, but the construction of new ships is not a day......" Zhao Si sighed.

If you want to blame, you can only blame Xu Fu, Da Qin has saved up the sea ship for so long, and he was deceived by Xu Fu in a wave.

"By the way, regarding the construction of the new ship, the minister has some slight opinions, which have been drawn into a book, and His Majesty can send them to Langya and Penglai to try." Zhao Si opened his mouth and said.

"Huh?" The First Emperor looked at Zhao Si.

"I discussed with my husband before that the draft of the current sea ship is still not deep enough, it is better to change from a flat bottom to a pointed bottom, and it is not suitable to use more building ships for sea exploration. The shape of the top and bottom is the best, with the sail can save a lot of effort, and the bottom of the boat is best wrapped with a layer of copper ......," Zhao Si said.

He had discussed this issue with Su Feng before, and Daqin's Sea Ship Technology Tree had been forcibly pointed out.

He has experienced six sea voyages, and Xu Fu's voyage to sea is the seventh.

The batch of ships that Zhao Si took already had the prototype of sea boats, but they still couldn't escape the limitations of the model of river boats.

After all, sea boats and river boats are two concepts, Zhao Si returned from the boat, nearly half of the dead and wounded, in addition to being adrift at sea for too long and not being familiar with the place, a large part of the reason is because of the bad ship design of this era.

The boat has a flat bottom, and is high, the sails are small, the strength is weak, and the stability is too poor.

At present, the remaining ships will be difficult to improve for a while, but the newly built ships can work in this direction, Zhao Si remembers the shape of the sailing ship, and the blessing of traveling around the world in his previous life was a blessing, and he remembered the sketch diagram when he checked the information.

The building ship is good, but if you want to set foot in the open sea, you have to be a sharp-bottomed sail ship.

Zhao Si was sorting out this thing during this time, planning to strive to directly point the technology tree on the Great Qin Sea to the beginning of the Age of Discovery......

If you have to build a ship, then you can just build a sea ship.

The transportation capacity and efficiency of Qin's sea vessels will also be greatly improved.

The problem of the offshore sea is not big, but the difficulty is in the far sea, and Zhao Si actually advised the don't be so anxious, and he could explore the offshore before the new ship was built.

After all, with the only twenty old sea ships left in Daqin, even if there is a waterway and monsoon map marked by Zhao Si himself, it is still dangerous.

It is better to settle down and expand the offshore sea, and wait until Langya and Penglai build new sea ships before going to the open sea to explore.

However, Su Feng did not agree to Zhao Si's proposal, or that the entire Yin and Yang family rejected Zhao Si's proposal and consideration for safety.

The time required for the new sea ship proposed by Zhao Si is measured in ten years from input, to experiment, to improvement, to large-scale output.

Su Feng is over seventy years old, he can't wait that long, the Yin and Yang family has been silent for too long, and he can't wait that long.

"Hey......" Zhao Si sighed slightly.

This time, I can't go with the ship, and it is clear that exploring the open sea will not be so easy.

Scurvy...... Plague, malaria...... Messy things, even with better preparation and a more professional team this time, are still dangerous.
