Zhao Si longed for the wandering on the sea, but unfortunately, he had to renew his life for the first emperor.

According to the original historical process, the current First Emperor should be approaching.

"Calculate the time, now Jing and they have gone to sea to explore, but unfortunately they can't go together." Zhao Si sighed.

"Iwami Ginzan and Kanejima should have been found......

In this era, there are no telephones, no mobile phones, and no wireless communication, far away from the ocean, slow message transmission, great lag of messages, and many uncontrolled factors.

"By the way, how long did it take from Xu Fu's death to the time his head was sent back?" Zhao Si asked as he watched Wang leave.

"More than a month." Wang Li thought for a moment and said.

"Not only did I send back Xu Fu's head, but also a large amount of gold, silver, copper and iron, it is said that the gold sent back alone is more than 1,000 taels, and the silver is 300,000 taels!" Wang Li's eyebrows fluttered with interest.

The previous demotion and reduction had a temporary impact on Wang Li's mentality, and it had only been a few days, and Wang Li had already recovered and become cheerful again.

"Now the hundred officials are going crazy, waiting for Dr. Zhao's uncle Sun Tong and a group of Lang officials to advise to set up counties overseas, intending to completely incorporate Fusang into the rule, Lang Guan Su Jiao and others advised to form a navy and raise troops overseas.

Even Li Xiang, who was coordinating the affairs of Dongjun, and Shangqing, who was in charge of capturing the remnants of the assassins, couldn't sit still. Wang Li said with a smile.

"So eager?" Zhao Si raised his eyebrows.

"How can it not be urgent? A lot of gold, silver, copper and iron deposits have been discovered, Daqin is short of copper and money at the moment, whether it is Longxi or Baiyue, they are all swallowing money, and so far I don't know how much manpower and material resources have been invested. Wang Li rolled his eyes.

"In the north, Donghu, Xiongnu, and Yueshi are not so easy to fight, and the north is vast and barren, and there is not much land worth attacking.

Baiyue's side also suffered a big defeat a few years ago, and there were poisonous insects and miasma everywhere.

This overseas is full of gold, silver, copper, and iron deposits, which are suitable for farming, and the key is that the enemy does not need to be defeated...... Hundreds of officials are not stupid, who doesn't want to raise troops overseas? ”

"I want to go too...... There are not even decent armor weapons, there are many large and small tribes, and the king is ......," Wang Li said excitedly.

"Isn't there anyone objecting?" Zhao Si frowned.

"Li Xianghe Meng Shangqing objected, and His Majesty did not make up his mind." The king departed.

Only then did Zhao Si settle down and nodded.

Raising troops overseas, Zhao Si did not object.

But there must be a degree to everything. How long did it take for Xu Fu to go from death to sending his head back to Daqin? It's been more than a month.

This is a day and night situation, if the weather is bad and there is a storm at sea, there is a danger of cutting off the news in an instant.

And between the islands and continents, separated by the sea, it is a natural barrier.

……

Autonomy is too high, messaging is too slow, and the military is too independent.

This is the offshore ......

What about the open sea?

Half a year or even longer......

This kind of thing cannot be blindly supported, and militarism and military aristocrats who are eager for military merit will not consider this.

They will never-ending lead Great Qin down the path of war.

As long as they can fight, they don't care if they will lose their capital, and whether Daqin will fall into the quagmire of war.

Offshore is generally profitable, but the far sea is a bottomless pit.

In this era, colonization is enough to play around, it is too primitive, and in many places, Great Qin has to help them do infrastructure construction.

The farther away it is, the greater the officials and costs that Great Qin will have to invest, and the higher the risk of control, not to mention the extreme wall of the empire.

Zhao Si made a hole in the sea, and he must also pay attention not to let Daqin be dragged into the bottomless pit.

Now is not the Ming and Qing dynasties, when the economy and trade are mature and you can close your eyes to the development of maritime affairs.

Zhao Si's current idea is still more inclined to plunder the original mineral deposits of Fusang to feed the Great Qin locality, promote the infrastructure construction of the Great Qin locality, improve the industrial structure of the Great Qin locality, make the Qin state rich and strong, and let the Qin people get tangible benefits.

Instead of giving Daqin a knife, he continued to transfuse blood overseas.

Li Shu in the world has endured too much, what they need is to recuperate, not to give them another place to serve and fight.

To put it bluntly, it is a question of whether to focus on the inside or the outside.

Chongnei is to use the wealth of the sea to build the Great Qin mainland.

Focusing on foreign affairs is to find ways to expand the territory and bring overseas into the rule and set up counties.

Heavy inside, legacy for thousands of years.

I am afraid that the control of Daqin will decline in the future, and the construction and culture left behind will be cheaper for outsiders.

The most important thing is that the decline in control is actually an inevitability from the perspective of historical laws.

Dominating the world is just a joke, and Zhao Si has never taken it seriously.

No, at least until modern times, there is no precedent.

Zhao Si was really worried that the First Emperor and even the civil and military officials of Great Qin would not be able to bear it.

After all, it was just Zhao Si's family before, and the reason why he went to sea was not because Zhao Si did not have a statement of physical verification.

The biggest reason is the impetus behind the Yin and Yang family, they want to improve the Great Kyushu Theory, and Daqin also needs to ask Xu Fu for his crimes.

Zhao Sikong said that Fusang has a huge gold and silver mine, who believes it?

I'm afraid that only the First Emperor really believed.

However, now that the physical goods have been shipped back, Zhao Si underestimated the reaction of the civil and military officials.

underestimated the determination of the Great Qin military nobles to set off a war when there was wealth worth plundering overseas.

"This is just the beginning, when Iwami Yinshan and Jindao are found, I'm afraid the three princes and nine kings won't know what to quarrel about!" Zhao Si frowned.

However, Fuso, which is located at the junction of tectonic plates, has frequent geographical activities, which has led to the illusion of rich mineral deposits, and this is only an exception.

To put it mildly, that is, the First Emperor can be suppressed, but if the emperor is changed, I am afraid that now Great Qin has begun to mobilize.

At present, Dongjun is in turmoil because of the assassination incident, and Xu Fu's head is sent back as adding another spoonful of oil to the turmoil here.

And Xianyang at this moment is not very calm......

"It's cooked!"

"Cooked!"

When the first emperor set off on the great tour of the world, it coincided with the maturity of millet.

But all the grains in Zhao Si's field were planted, and in addition to the five grains, there was also rice.

It's just that the maturity period is not consistent.

Now, after the last bumper harvest, it is time for a bumper harvest of hemp, soybeans, yellow rice, and rice.

This is not a simple harvest, it is to keep seeds and promote the world.

In fact, the growth cycles of hemp, soybeans, yellow rice, and rice are not exactly the same, but the last time the world was surveyed, the heaven and earth had been worshipped.

And these four kinds of grains are cooked one after another, and we can't just worship heaven and earth day after day without doing business.

Fortunately, there was not much difference in time, and the weather was just sunny and windy, so the four crops were barely dragged together.

Of course, the wheat growth cycle is longer, and you have to kowtow once when you turn back.

Although the thing was planted by Zhao Si, it still has to be put on the mandate of heaven, and there must still be respect for the mandate of heaven.

Right now, it is the right minister Wang Juan who is in charge of the harvest festival.

Hundreds of officials are here, and there is a symphony of ceremonial music.

Ji Cheng was mixed in with the hundred officials, and he was a little out of place.

After all, he was just a small pavilion chief before.

And now, all of a sudden, he was promoted to a councilor.

Although the official position is not very large, and there is no specific position, but it is a Lang official!

After the release in the future, at least it will be able to dominate the affairs of a county!

When he learned the news, Ji Cheng was stupid, not only Ji Cheng was stupid, Ji Chang was also stupid, and the villagers in the forest were also stunned.

Ah, O Rang!

Lang Guan! O office of intimacy before the king!

Able to guard the position in the palace!

The princes of Gon in the court, Yilang may not be inconspicuous, but in the township, Ji Cheng became a big man overnight.

The village elders visited endlessly, and not only that, but even the local county lieutenant came to visit several times.

Ji Cheng didn't know why such a big good thing suddenly hit his head.

Until, he entered the court of Great Qin as a councilor.

He heard his brother Zhao Si!

This is a constantly discussed figure, although Zhao Si and Baiguan do not have a lot of intersections, but his reputation is an unavoidable topic in the court.

Although Zhao Si is just a waiter, everyone knows the terrifying gold content of Zhao Si's waiter.

He was too close to the First Emperor!

As long as Zhao Si wants to, even what he says will be more effective than the three princes and nine kings.

Not to mention, Wang Qian's grandson has a good relationship with Zhao Si, and Li Si, the left minister of Great Qin's real power, also has a good relationship with Zhao Si.

Zhao Si has few friends, but all of them are top connections.

Ji Cheng is not a fool.

He realized that there was probably only one reason why he was suddenly promoted from pavilion chief to councilor.

Brother!

Zhao Si!

No, Ji Si.

Ji Cheng had long recognized Zhao Si who had returned from going to sea as Ji Si.

It's just that the elder brother returned from going to sea, all eyes were on him, he was in a high position, and he was already very different, Ji Cheng was uncertain, and he was afraid that his grandfather Ji Chang would be disappointed, and there was no way to contact Zhao Si alone, so he didn't know how to recognize each other.

In the case that the matter was not determined, Ji Cheng did not dare to rashly expose Zhao Si's identity.

After all, the most important thing in this era is the love of the township party, and Ji Cheng is worried that if he acts rashly, his brother Zhao Si will bear the reputation of being unfilial and unrelated.

Now, he was suddenly promoted to the rank of councillor......

Ji Cheng, no matter how you say it, is also a Lang official, and finally has a channel to inquire about Zhao Si's news.

Zhao Si's deeds are relatively transparent, and there are still many people who know about it.

Ji Cheng soon knew the reason why his brother did not return home.

When I went to sea, I encountered a sea storm, injured my head, and lost my memory.

Ji Cheng felt that the reason why his brother changed his name to Zhao Si was probably because he forgot what his surname was before.

But now......

He was suddenly promoted to the rank of councilor.

Is it because you remember?

Why, then, did the elder brother leave in a hurry without even saying a word?

It's because ...... What happened back then?
