Chapter 10 The First Emperor was confident in solving these problems

People who are stranded and do not remember their place of origin are a problem, and we cannot just ignore it.

After Meng Yi thought carefully, he came up with a solution.

Let this group of people go to Xianyang to farm with Zhao Si.

There is no other way. Even if you can't remember your place of origin, you still need to get an identity certificate. It's impossible to let them be a gangster just because they can't remember their place of origin.

Of course, it's okay to stay in Langya, but to be honest, everyone in this group of people is a talented person. Those who have returned home after receiving a new biography have all prepared separate registrations.

After all, they are the only remaining sailors in Daqin who have rich experience in ocean navigation.

If something happens in the future, they will be selected separately. It is the kindness of the First Emperor to let them go home if they remember clearly their place of origin. If they can't remember their place of origin and can't even find their own home, there is no need to break up and enter the place. It is better to

Directly entering the place of birth near Xianyang will save you the trouble of recruiting and transferring in the future.

In addition, most of these sailors also have some experience with the three new foods of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn. Have they at least seen them?

Zhao Si is responsible for cultivating new grains, so he must have capable hands.

As for the ships returning from the sea, they were naturally retained and maintained by the local government in Langya.

Zhao Si went out to sea to travel around the world, but he was short of manpower and tools, and there were no decent ports to dock during the voyage, so most of the ships were in tatters.

Some ships can still be used with a little repair, but due to insufficient conditions, they can only be left overseas in the end, which is a pity.

Although the current sixteen sea-going ships are dilapidated, they are still usable. They are also the only large ships with ocean-going capabilities left in the Qin Dynasty. Of course, they must be treated properly.

"The sea-going ships have been properly repaired, and four more sea-going ships have been built in Langya, making up the number of twenty sea-going ships."

"The tour is not over yet, but the farming season must not be missed. You take Zhao Si and his entourage back to the pass and hand them over to Wang Ben to plant new grains."

The First Emperor ordered them one by one.

Zhao Si presented world maps and nautical charts, which was a new expansion and exploration for the Qin Dynasty, and at the same time could greatly enrich the practical theoretical support of the Great Kyushu Theory.

A large part of the reason why Dajiuzhou Theory became popular in the Qin Dynasty is because after Daqin unified the world, it was inevitable to continue to expand and explore due to institutional reasons.

There were nearly a million Qin troops in the north and south.

If it was just for self-protection, it would be crazy to place so many Qin troops on the border.

To put it bluntly, the current technological level of the Qin Dynasty is crushing that of neighboring countries, and the barbarians in the north are also in chaos. Although the Xiongnu is on the rise, there is still a long way to go before all tribes in the grassland can be called the Xiongnu.

To put it bluntly, if Da Qin's border troops were reduced by two-thirds, it would be more than enough to protect themselves.

At least now it seems that economic expenditure and harvest are completely out of proportion. The millions of Qin troops in the north and south are now like a bottomless pit.

The farming and warfare system made Great Qin a success, but it inevitably pushed Great Qin into another abyss.

As for the Jiuzhou theory, it is obviously contrary to the farming and warfare system of the Qin Dynasty.

According to the theory of Kyushu, the Qin Dynasty unified the world and occupied the richest land and territory in the world. The other areas were all barbaric lands, and the gains outweighed the losses. The collapse of the Qin Dynasty's farming and warfare system became inevitable.

To put it bluntly, the popularity of Dajiuzhou is in line with Daqin’s farming and warfare system.

After crossing the vast oceans and mountains that isolate Chixian Shenzhou, there is still land as fertile as Chixian Shenzhou waiting to be conquered.

The Qin Dynasty and the Southern Qi Dynasty made great efforts. To the north were grasslands, deserts and snow-capped mountains, and to the south were deep mountains and old forests filled with poisonous insects and miasma.

Da Qin is already trying to cross the natural barrier between the north and the south to find a new big state.

And Xu Fu's journey to the sea to seek immortality may not be simply a matter of going to sea to seek immortality. Exploring a new world may also be part of the mission.

At present, the Qin Dynasty dominates the world, and there is no one before or after. There is no example to learn from.

And the First Emperor instinctively sensed the hidden dangers of the Qin Empire, or perhaps the hidden dangers of Shang Yang's method.

If the First Emperor was an unswerving supporter of Shang Yang's method, there would never have been a court battle between the great Confucian Chun Yuyue and the Legalist representative Li Si after the unification of the world.

The First Emperor himself was constantly making choices, otherwise Chun Yuyue would have no chance of fighting, let alone become the teacher of the eldest son Fusu.

And Li Si, who was able to win this battle of laws, must not only simply admire Shang Yang's method, but also lead certain reforms in Da Qin's laws.

The Qin State governed the country according to Legalism, but the law was not static.

The laws were changed again and again, and Shang Yang did not have the ability to formulate a system that would allow Qin to dominate the world as long as it was read as written and remained unchanged.

Throughout the ages, no one has been able to formulate it.

Every change of kings and administrators in the Qin State would lead to additional and revised laws.

Even many of the laws enacted during the Shang Dynasty have changed beyond recognition now that Li Si is in power, and the levels of rewards and punishments are also very different.

What remains unchanged is the farming and warfare system and the official administration system.

The farming and warfare system ensured Qin's war mobilization capacity, and a sufficient number of officials with complete basic knowledge ensured the execution of Qin's laws and the reward and punishment system.

But now, Qin's farming and warfare system and official governance system have problems at the same time.

After unifying the world, all the land that can be conquered has been included in the royal territory, but there are too many meritorious people, and more people are waiting to make meritorious deeds. The deep-rooted old military meritorious families are eager to solidify their class, but the emerging military meritorious aristocrats obviously have more

Much desire.

There was even a problem with the land distribution involving the meritorious soldiers at the bottom, because it turned out that all the fertile land in the Qin State had been rewarded. There was land in the Six Kingdoms, but who was willing to distribute the land abroad?

Compared with the precarious situation of the farming and war system, Da Qin's administrative system was already riddled with holes.

In other words, as early as the early days of Qin Shihuang's accession to the throne, the administrative system had begun to explode.

Qin's commendable system execution was driven by a large number of officials.

Therefore, the peak period of Qin's official administration was the period when Shang Yang was in power.

Every subsequent expansion of land was essentially a setback in government administration.

The price paid for the increase in population and land is the reduction in government execution and central control.

Only by spending a lot of time to re-implement Qin law in the new land and train officials can the vacancy be filled.

After the First Emperor succeeded to the throne, there was a rebellion, and Lord Changping rebelled against the Qin Dynasty.

Cheng Xi still had little momentum and was barely within control. Lord Changping's rebellion against Qin even directly led to the failure of the first war against Chu.

It is inevitable for the two to rebel, but the ability to stir up such a huge momentum shows that there are already big problems in the Qin State's official governance, and the intensity of supervision and central control has declined extremely significantly.

It became even more obvious after the Qin State unified the six kingdoms. The Xiang family private soldiers were assassinated by Zhang Liang, and the prefect of Kuaiji harbored evil intentions...

This all shows that the official administration of Qin has inevitably collapsed.

The First Emperor could clearly feel these, but he proudly believed that under his suppression, these were not problems.

The farming and war system is stagnant? Then conquer new lands?

If the administration of officials regresses? Then spend manpower and material resources to continue cultivating them.

Ten years? Twenty years? As long as there is enough time, he will be confident to solve these problems.

And the things Zhao Si brought back this time were correspondingly precious.

Whether it's a world map or three new crops.
