Chapter 16 Da Qin is very strong, but not strong enough!

I don’t know about other dynasties, but during the Qin Dynasty, military craftsmen were definitely the standard equipment of the army.

Compared with other dynasties, the quantity is larger and the craftsmanship is more exquisite.

Responsible for the maintenance and repair of weapons during peacetime, and the manufacturing of war equipment during wartime.

Wang Li gave the order, and a military craftsman was ordered to come within a short time. Under Wang Li's order, he waited for Zhao Si's instructions and was ready to go, which caused Zhao Si to feel a little pressure.

With a flurry of gestures and drawings on the ground, the craftsmen began work.

Most people in this era are silent, and it is difficult to see any special expressions on their faces, just like a foggy black and white TV.

Only Wang Li seemed to be full of freedom and vitality.

"What are there overseas? Are there fairy mountains? Are there dragons?"

After the craftsman started working, Wang Li, who was full of curiosity, asked questions.

In this era, the sea is shrouded in mystery. Even in Qidi near the sea, the scope of activities is limited to the offshore.

For a child like Wang Li, who was born and raised in Xianyang, the sea for him mostly exists only in Zou Zi's theory of Dajiuzhou and from a distance.

Coupled with the theory of overseas fairy mountains proposed by Xu Fu in the early years, the sea has been shrouded in a mysterious veil.

"No." Zhao Si shook his head.

"But there are big fish more than ten feet long!" Zhao Si said with a smile.

Zhao Si is talking about whales. They often encounter whales when they are at sea.

"I know that your Majesty sent people to hunt the dragon fish in Langya a few years ago! It is said to be dozens of feet tall, with a mouth that can accommodate a large ship, and a move of the tail to make the wind and clouds surge." Wang Li replied.

"Is it big outside? Are there really eight states outside?" Wang Li continued to ask.

"It's very big. It's slightly different from Dajiuzhou, but the difference is not big." Zhao Si pondered and then spoke.

Although Zou Zi's conjecture about the sea was not accurate, the earth did not have the Kyushu pattern as he thought.

But Zou Zi’s thoughts are valuable, and the most important thing is Zou Zi’s way of understanding the world.

That is decentralization.

When the ancients understood the world, they usually preconceived the idea that the Central Plains was the center of the world, with outstanding people and outstanding natural resources concentrated in the Central Plains, while the rest were barbaric lands.

This is the theory of Kyushu.

By extension, the earth we set foot on is the center of the universe, which is the theory of a round sky and a square earth.

It is extremely rare in this era for Zou Zi to be able to look at the world from a self-centered perspective.

What's even more commendable is that Zou Zi's Great Kyushu theory, which he deduced based only on his imagination, basically conforms to the pattern of the earth.

Of course, Zhao Si would not deny Zou Zi’s Dajiuzhou theory. At worst, he would copy it mechanically. Who stipulated that the earth must have seven states? At worst, he would find two larger island groups and name them states.

What is valuable is Zou Zi’s thoughts and thinking model, as well as the wide audience of Dajiuzhou theory in this era.

To be honest, Kyushu said, it is already outdated.

It is inevitable for Kyushu to be eliminated by Great Kyushu, because the world has been unified.

Later, Jiuzhou said that the restoration was due to the influence of Confucianism, and that bad money drove out good money.

The Dajiuzhou Theory needs the factual support of Zhao Si's voyage, and if Zhao Si wants to tell the world the whole picture of the world, he also needs to rely on the factual support of the Dajiuzhou Theory and a wide audience.

Especially, Zou Zi’s Dajiuzhou theory may be the world theory officially recognized by Da Qin.

Wang Li was very curious about the sea, and it was confusing when he asked about it.

Zhao Si answered one by one, occasionally interspersing some interesting stories about his time at sea.

"When you first arrive at a place, you have to be on guard against attacks and plunder by the natives, but the boundaries here are different..."

"When we first arrived here, we had insufficient food and grass, and our troops and horses were exhausted. When the natives here first arrived, they immediately took precautions. In the end, these natives actually sent me fruits and food, and even exchanged materials with us to relieve our urgent need. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn were exchanged from here.

.”

"Later on when I was sailing, every day on this day would be like a festival for us."

"What festival?" Wang Li asked curiously.

"Thanksgiving is just a fun day." Zhao Si shook his head.

"Then these natives are really hospitable!" Wang Li nodded.

"Yes, if you are lucky enough to come again, you must bring some gifts and reciprocate politely, so as not to lose my Central Plains style." Zhao Si nodded.

The Indians are still very hospitable. Although there is a language barrier and different customs, it is still easy for people to feel close to each other when meeting such a group of hospitable people with the same skin color on the other side of the ocean.

If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely reciprocate the courtesy. Of course, Zhao Si will not give others furs stained with the plague.

Zhao Si talked a lot, and Wang Lizhen was just like listening to the story, and he was a very qualified compliment.

Whenever Zhao Si talked about something thrilling and novel, Wang Li would always exclaim in perfect exclamation.

Zhao Si originally planned to get closer to the other party, but he didn't feel tired. When he mentioned some interesting things, the crew members would respond enthusiastically.

After being separated from the tiring life at sea, the crew members' stories are lively and interesting, but if you ask them to go there again, most of them will not be willing to go again.

And on the other side...on the way to patrol the world.

After the First Emperor finished handling the government affairs, he looked up at the world map hanging in the carriage.

Great Kyushu!

world!

Vast territory and land!

Fertile environment and fertile water and soil!

The First Emperor has not forgotten Zhao Si's description. According to Zhao Si, some areas do not even need to farm and can be self-sufficient by relying solely on natural gifts!

What a blessed place this is?

The Great Qin that he was so proud of was just an insignificant point on the world map.

The most important thing is Zhao Si's description of overseas affairs.

In many places, indigenous people are in power, and there is not even a country.

They don't even have any decent weapons or armor, and are fighting with stone and wooden spears?

If what Zhao Si said is true, what does this mean? It means that these enemies can be wiped out easily by Da Qin!

This is much easier to fight than the Six Kingdoms. After a lifetime of fighting, I am afraid Da Qin has never faced such an easy opponent.

Even uncivilized barbarian lands like Yiqu probably don't even have a decent political structure, weapons and armor.

But unfortunately, they occupy most of the land on the world map.

This was simply unbelievable to the First Emperor.

What he heard from Zhao Si's description was that a group of poor, weak, morally incompetent people occupied a vast and fertile land, while he, the emperor who unified the six kingdoms, was surrounded by the sea, mountains and deserts, and was trapped in Kyushu.

!

What's even more pity is that no matter where you go, the price is too high, and Da Qin doesn't seem to have the capital to pay such a high price.

Da Qin is very strong, but not strong enough!

They are so strong that they were able to build a fleet that sailed across the sea in BC. They are so strong that their combat effectiveness ranks only in T0 in this era, but they are not strong enough because they still cannot overcome natural obstacles.

The First Emperor looked at the world map with distant eyes. After a long time, he slowly lowered his gaze and frowned.
