"Please stay in America!"

Lu Sheng saw Zhao Kun smiling and saying nothing, so he said it again respectfully.

Zhao Kun still didn't answer, he just drank hot tea and looked at him quietly.

Although Lu Sheng was an alchemist who sought immortality, Zhao Kun never thought that he was a man who was indifferent to fame and wealth.

How could a person who really didn't care about fame and wealth risk beheading and deceive the First Emperor into seeking immortality and medicine?

Moreover, Lu Sheng is also a very capable person.

If he had no ability, how could he deceive the First Emperor over and over again and finally retire?

Therefore, Lu Sheng is stationed in America. If everything goes well, he may be able to open up a large territory for the Qin Dynasty.

Zhao Kun was not one of those European barbarians of later generations, and could not do such things as massacre a whole tribe.

However, Zhao Kun certainly wouldn't mind if he could obtain a large piece of land rich in products through other means.

In today's Daqin, all development is centered on economic development.

In Zhao Kun's conception, conquest by force was always the lowest method. Unless it was a last resort, there was no need to let the men of Qin spill their blood on foreign frontiers.

Lu Sheng had this idea, which happened to coincide with him.

The only question is, how ambitious is this guy Lu Sheng?

Or, was this Lu Sheng's idea alone, or was Hou Sheng sending him here to test him?

After pondering for a long time, Zhao Kun narrowed his eyes slightly and stared directly at Lu Sheng.

The latter looked at him calmly.

After a moment, Zhao Kun asked expressionlessly: "Do you know that since the unification of the six kingdoms, my father's most taboo thing is the sealing off of territories?"

"Young master, I just want to do something for you. I don't dare to have the ambition to conquer the world!"

Lu Sheng said with a smile: "Young Master has allowed Xiao Sheng and me to see the vastness of the world. In our hearts, Young Master will always be our master."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Kun smiled noncommittally and did not answer.

Human beings are always aggressive, or greedy creatures.

When they have no food to eat and no clothing to cover their bodies, their only hope for the future is to survive as long as possible.

However, when they achieve a goal, more and greater needs will naturally arise.

The living standards of the people of Daqin continue to improve. What is even more commendable is that this goal has been achieved without really touching the interests of the Xungui Group.

As the rising tide lifts all boats, the interest demands of our nobles have gradually changed.

In the past, everyone followed the First Emperor to conquer the world, strive for wealth, and be content to rest on their merits and wait for death.

However, times have changed.

The overall wealth of society is increasing. If the nobles do not seek innovation and change, but stay in the same place, they will continue to retreat.

Ambition is always a relative concept.

In the past, people's understanding of nobles was that their food and clothing expenses were beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

But now, the people in Guanzhong are not short of white flour and meat, and they can even spend a lot of money during the holidays.

The gap is rapidly shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

So much so that the nobles of Great Qin no longer cared about their face and began to personally control business affairs.

Moreover, Guanzhong is only so big.

Today is different from the past, Da Qin is full of opportunities.

In order to make money, many nobles began to ask the court to leave the capital and move their families to other places.

These places are basically their hometowns.

In the past, there were almost no nobles in the outer counties of Da Qin.

But now, honorable families can be found almost all over the Qin Dynasty.

This phenomenon was supported by the Qin New Deal mainly for two reasons.

On the one hand, it can strengthen the court's control over local areas.

On the other hand, it can reduce the pressure on national finances.

Of course, they don't dare to break up the soil and become king, but it is not difficult to operate their power where they are.

Lu and Hou were the pioneers of Qin's navigation. With such important resources as America in their hands, would they really have no ideas?

He professes his loyalty, but who can guess what he thinks privately.

Whether you are an emperor or a prince, the most ridiculous thing is to place your country's interests on the so-called loyalty of your ministers.

After pondering for a long time, Zhao Kun frowned and said: "If you want to stay in the Americas, it's not impossible, but the Americas must pay tribute to Daqin every year. The Ministry of Commerce will make a list of what is needed, and you can just follow it!"

"in addition."

As he spoke, he changed the topic and continued: "The navy of Great Qin will establish military bases and seaports on the coast of America, no less than ten."

When he said this, Zhao Kun kept his eyes on Lu Sheng. Even if he frowned, he would probably die.

However, when Lu Sheng heard Zhao Kun's words, his expression remained unchanged and he replied with a smile: "These are all things that should be done. I should obey my orders."

"In that case, then you write a memorial and give it to my elder brother. I will lobby my father."

"I obey the decree."

Lu Sheng bowed respectfully to Zhao Kun, then suddenly thought of something and added: "Sir, I still have a doubt. In America today, there is only one Inca country in the south. In other places, except for barbarian tribes, there are no countries.

How to arrange it?”

"This is very simple. If there is no country, we can just establish a few countries. The resources are all ready anyway!" Zhao Kun said with a smile.

Next March, Da Qin will hold its first imperial examination.

By then, countless outstanding scholars will stand out in the imperial examination.

High-end talents can win both internally and externally.

At this moment, Zhao Kun is quite as heroic as Emperor Li Er, who said, "All the talents in the world have come to me."

Since it was not known whether Atlantis really existed and the Mayan civilization came to an end, America has been in a peaceful era.

In the vast land, Indians with a population of less than 10 million live together in tribes.

They are close to nature by nature and do not like fighting, so it is difficult for them to form a country's political form.

It can be said that the world of great harmony in which "chickens and dogs hear each other, and old age and death do not interact with each other" that Lao Tzu longed for actually exists in America.

The American continent, which has continued this social form, can only be isolated from the rest of the world forever.

Otherwise, their tragedy will be doomed.

Throughout history, advanced civilizations are destined to assimilate or even exterminate backward civilizations.

The Qin Dynasty expanded its sphere of influence to the Americas and even other territories, which was not a bad thing for the local indigenous people.

Zhao Kun knew these things well.

The main reason why I didn't bring it up just now was because I wanted to see Lu Sheng's reaction.

If Lu Sheng had a self-reliant mind, he would naturally not take the initiative to say these things.

Think about it, at least for now, Lu Sheng is trustworthy.

Just like that, Zhao Kun chatted with Lu Sheng for a while before letting him go down to rest.

………

There is a big temperature difference between day and night outside Ganquan Palace.

Although winter has not yet begun, each tent has a fire pit prepared early.

When I went to bed at night, I didn't feel much. But when I got out of the tent in the morning, the sun was clearly shining in the sky, but I was still shivering from the cool breeze in the mountains.

This is already the third day of Zhao Kun's autumn outing.

During the three days, everyone, including the ministers, noble families, and their children, had a great time.

At this moment, Zhao Kun was standing outside the tent, like a veteran cadre, holding a purple clay pot, occasionally squinting his eyes to look at the distant scenery, and taking a sip of hot fruit tea to warm his body.

Jiang Chao went out yesterday. When he came back, he brought this purple clay pot, a lot of thick clothes, Zhao Kun's daily necessities, and even new underwear.

Of course Zhao Kun didn't believe Jiang Chao was so careful.

He knew that Taohua should have prepared this, because among the girls in the house, Taohua was the only one who loved her the most.

If it were Wang Ya, he certainly believed that Wang Ya would do the same thing, but not so carefully.

After all, the two of them are not very familiar with each other yet, and their living habits still need to be adjusted slowly.

The days after marriage should be very interesting, after all, the little girl is quite cute.

But, why didn’t I see her after the last hunting?
