my grandfather was qin shi huang

Young Master Gao looked at the large rolling mountains that had appeared in his field of vision in front of him. He couldn't help but show a hint of excitement in his eyes. He looked at the mountains that were becoming clearer and taller in his field of vision with interest.

"I look at the mountains here. The mountains are undulating gently, and the vegetation is lush and beautiful. Maybe there are some spiritual beings in the world..."

After saying this, he turned his head and looked at Fan Kuai who had been standing silently behind him.

"General Fan, what is Master Xu Xian doing..."

Fan Kuai bowed and replied.

"Back to the young master, Master Xu Xian had already obeyed the young master's instructions three days ago, bathed and burned incense, prayed to ghosts and gods, and prayed for His Majesty's blessings."

Young Master Gao nodded with some satisfaction.

Sincerity leads to spirituality.

My purpose of sailing out to sea this time to collect rare treasures was secondary. The most important purpose was to show off my majesty overseas and give favors to His Majesty, in order to fulfill the immortal's request and grant the elixir of immortality as soon as possible.

Wangshan is a dead horse.

On the sea, even more so. From seeing the mountains in the distance to actually arriving at the islands in the sea, Gongzi Gao's fleet traveled for another full day.

When they actually landed, everyone discovered that although there were lush vegetation around the island, they were actually flat plains. The most rare thing is that the land is quite fertile and wild rice can be seen everywhere.

Although no one has taken care of these rice, the grains are plump and heavy, which looks very pleasing to the eye.

The young master looked far away, his eyes filled with surprise.

"The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, the land is fertile, and you can grow grains!"

Seeing Young Master Gao's face full of joy, Ge Yun also smiled and nodded, reminding him.

"It's a pity that it is isolated overseas and it is inconvenient to travel. Otherwise, it would be a rare treasure..."

Hearing this, Young Master Gao slowly shook his head.

"Sir, this is a fallacy. It is true that this place is isolated overseas, and it is true that it is inconvenient to travel. But if it is inconvenient to come and go today, how can we know that it will be inconvenient to come and go in the future? Who knows, in a few days, there will be an even bigger, faster It’s also a faster ship. When the time comes, the mere sea area will not matter..."

Having said this, Young Master Gao took out the map in his arms and pointed to the opposite side.

"Look, here, the closest place between the two places should not be more than a few hundred miles away. Once our army of Great Qin arrives on the other side, this place will be able to arrive at dawn and dusk, turning it into thousands of miles of fertile land for our Great Qin..."

Ge Yun glanced at the map and couldn't help but twitching at the corner of his eye.

Although the place that Young Master Gao pointed to is connected by land to the mainland of Da Qin, even the nearest Xiang County is probably thousands of miles away, which is almost the same as the size of Da Chu!
This young master’s ambition is so great, why didn’t he notice it before?
After holding it in for a long time, he cupped his hands and choked out a sentence.

"Young Master is so ambitious!"

Hearing this, Young Master Gao couldn't help laughing, looking back to the left and right.

"How do I know this? These are just what His Royal Highness the Emperor Grandson told me before he left. But His Highness is right. Once the two places are opened, the territory of Da Qin will completely cover this sea area..."

Having said this, he encouraged everyone.

"When the time comes, all the gentlemen present here will be our heroes in the expansion of the territory of Great Qin. They will be promoted to official positions and nobility, just around the corner!"

As soon as Young Master Gao said this, everyone was shocked.

If this trip to sea can really be regarded as a contribution to the expansion of territory...

Everyone couldn't help but subconsciously make a calculation in their hearts.

Fuso, Ryukyu, Wangqin Island, and from Wangqin Island to this huge nameless island, there are dozens of large and small islands along the way. If you add them all up...

Everyone couldn't help but take a breath, and their eyes lit up instantly.

Even Ge Yun, who has a calm temperament, can't help but feel his heart beating faster!
This contribution is enough for the Ge family to rise completely and become a real giant in this area.

Although I landed on the island.

But at this time, there were not many people on this island, so it was impossible to station on the island. Because there are primitive grass and jungles everywhere, with many strange-shaped trees that are completely different from those in the Central Plains.

Some tree trunks tower into the clouds, looking over ten feet tall!

Even though two or three people surrounded him, they couldn't hold him.

Gongzi Gao personally drew his sword and cut off a branch. He found that this tree was extremely tough and the most amazing thing was that it actually had a natural fragrance!

"His Royal Highness Taisun is right, there are indeed good things overseas!"

Even though Young Master Gao has a calm temperament, he can no longer control himself.

Fragrant trees are everywhere in the mountains and plains!

Let’s not talk about whether this thing has other functions, but just like this, it will be an amazing wealth if it is shipped back. Zhao Ying was not here, otherwise he would have recognized that the tree that made the young master so excited was the famous Sala tree.

Although this island is ranked among the top three in the world in terms of area, it has an extremely important geographical location.

But at this moment, it is still a deserted island that no one cares about, and it doesn't even have a name.

Young Master Gao led everyone to open up a piece of land in a slightly open area not far from the seaside, and then organized people to burn the grass and trees to drive away the nearby grass and insects.

Nowadays, Gongzi Gao has been wandering at sea for a long time and has already accumulated a lot of experience in wilderness survival. Everywhere he goes, he takes out the wilderness survival manual that Zhao Ying privately gave him and checks each one for any gaps.

Because on these deserted islands, there is no telling where there are poisonous insects, snakes and ants that can kill people.

Even so, sailing all the way from Fusang and Yingzhou to here, there were nearly a hundred people!

If one is not careful, people will be gone!
In the afternoon of the same day, without clearing things up, Young Master Gao immediately led everyone back to the boat without hesitation, and rested on the boat for another night. The next day, I worked hard all morning again before I finally finished everything.

All the surrounding grass was flattened, and some tall trees that blocked the view were also brought down. A tall watchtower was built on the spot, with elite Daqin Xuanjia taking turns to guard it.

Everyone breathed a little sigh of relief.

Although you don't have to fight with people on an uninhabited desert island, the problems you face are more difficult, because if you want to explore, you have to carve out a path yourself.

Inside the tent.

Young Master Gao summoned Xu Fu, Ge Jun, Ge Li, Lu Matong and Fan Kuai to examine the sea map he had obtained from Zhao Ying.

"This island is so huge that it would be almost impossible to complete the entire exploration without months of effort..."

Ge Jun is now no longer shocked by the map in front of him, which is many times more accurate than his own chart, but he still takes this opportunity to talk to his own chart in his mind silently. Compare them with each other and try to remember every difference.

This is a rare opportunity.

Young Master Gao nodded slightly and looked at Xu Fu who was standing aside.

Xu Fu: ...He is suffering now and cannot tell.

When he first threatened to go to sea to obtain the elixir of immortality for the First Emperor, how could he have expected such an outcome?

As a result, it’s fine now!

Being led all the way across the ocean by this young master, Gao could spend twelve hours a day floating on the sea!
The most important thing is that I can't show any abnormality. When others are eating, drinking, chatting, bragging and spanking, I still have to bathe, burn incense, meditate and pray every day...

There are thirty days in January, twelve hours in one day!
This happens every day, and my whole body feels numb.

At this time, seeing the young master looking over, he quickly calmed down and agreed honestly.

"Although this island is vast, according to His Highness Taisun, it should be a deserted island. Although there may be many rare treasures on the island, this is not why we are here, but It is to spread His Majesty’s favor overseas, to educate local Guizhou leaders, to pray for Your Majesty, and to obtain the elixir of life as soon as possible..."

When he said this, he looked sincere.

"I am willing to stay, find out what's going on, and broaden my horizons. However, His Highness Taisun said that this place may not be inhabited. If we stay too long, I'm afraid it will delay His Majesty's important events..."

Hearing this, Young Master Gao couldn't help but turn his attention to Lu Matong.

Although Lu Matong was tired of this kind of life where no one was seen all day long and was always surrounded by dangers, he still stood up without hesitation.

"At the end of the day, the young master is the only one who obeys!"

Ge Yun and Xu Fu couldn't help but glance at him secretly, cursing the shameless thief in their hearts.

But Gongzi Gao was obviously very satisfied. He smiled and nodded, then looked around at everyone.

"In that case, starting from today, we will explore the island for seven days. After seven days, regardless of whether we have gained something or not, we will leave as soon as possible and go to the next island!"

Young master Gao gave the final word.

In fact, if Zhao Ying hadn't repeatedly warned him before leaving that he must try his best to collect information on various islands and try to bring back some of the local products, he would have never even thought of entering the islands.

What value can a stay on a deserted island with no one have?
With Gongzi Gao's order, almost everyone, except for the soldiers who stayed behind to garrison, dispersed and formed a small team of dozens of people to explore everywhere along the rivers and mountains.

Different information will be brought back every day, and various products that are different from Da Qin will be sent back.

Ge Jun led a group of officials to record the things returned one by one according to Gongzi Gao's requirements, and then directed people to carry these things to the ships on the seaside in categories.

Busy and orderly.

Only Xu Fu presided over sacrifices every day with disheveled hair, built a simple high platform in the camp, and prayed to heaven for the First Emperor.

According to Gongzi Gao, even if there are no people in this place, there are no ghosts and gods.

We should bring His Majesty’s grace and sincerity to every place we go.

This is outrageous!

But he had no reason to refuse, so he could only bite the bullet and continue...

To pray to God and ghosts and gods, of course you cannot hide in a cabin or a tent.

On the boat, on the plywood, on the island, on the high platform built, after these few months of hard work, he was completely tanned, dry and thin...

Three days passed in a flash.

……

"Chief, do we still want to continue to investigate?"

Yu wiped the sweat from her head, endured the burning sting on her body, and turned to look at Shi Changqiu, who had also stripped down to only a pair of crotch-revealing clothes. There's nothing I can do about it, this damn place is really too hot.

There were waist-deep weeds everywhere, and it was damp and hot.

If they hadn't seen water flowing from time to time, they might not have been able to persist until this point.

Qiu Ye raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his head and looked up at the surrounding terrain.

"Continue, we must climb over the mountain ridge in front of us before sunset tonight and find a place to rest, otherwise we will stay here tonight..."

He looked around.

"Even if we don't encounter any wild beasts coming out to look for food, we will still be eaten alive by mosquitoes..."

Qiu obviously had a high prestige among his team, and his words were quickly implemented. Everyone cheered up and slapped the grass in front of them with the long wooden pole in their hands. Feet move forward. But even so, by the time they actually climbed over the mountain ridge ahead, it was already dusk.

Fortunately, a group of more than a dozen people were lucky enough to find a relatively dry cave. They used the fire sickle they carried with them to light a handful of mugwort and drive away the mosquitoes and snakes inside before finally settling down. Except for one person A bonfire was lit outside the cave and they remained vigilant. The remaining people leaned in the cool cave to eat the dry food they had brought with them to replenish their strength.

Then, he leaned on the stone behind him and chatted away.

But no one dared to really talk until late. In fact, after a day of exploration, everyone was already sleepy and tired, and soon fell asleep on their clothes.

Shi Changqiu is on duty in the middle of the night.

He fell into a deep sleep when it was about to light up in the east. Therefore, when it got light and everyone got up and went out to fetch water and cook, they didn't call him.

This can be regarded as a tacit understanding of long-term cooperation between everyone.

Those who work in the second half of each shift will be given a chance to catch up on sleep. Therefore, until the tip of Qiu's nose could smell the fragrance of roasted steamed buns, it was already bright when he woke up from his sleep.

Several people were holding their helmets, ready to break the dry steamed buns into small pieces and throw them into the hot water.

Qiu glanced at it out of habit, but didn't find Yu's figure. He couldn't help but hold his helmet in front of the freshly boiled hot water and asked casually.

"Where's Yu, where did this kid go..."

Hearing him ask this question, the crowd suddenly burst into laughter.

"Where else could that kid go? If he wasn't greedy, he would go hunting for game in the ravines ahead..."

No one paid much attention to this.

They had checked that ravine last night, and there was no danger. There was a small stream, but that small stream was clear and shallow, and it didn't look like there was any big fish there.

Of course, nowadays they almost vomit after eating fish, and even if there is fish in front of them, they don’t have much desire to eat it.

Therefore, except for the greedy Yu, no one was too lazy to bother.

Qiu held his helmet and scooped out a cup of hot water. He had just squatted down and was about to make a bowl of steamed buns to eat when he suddenly heard an almost broken scream coming from the ravine in front of him.

It's Yu!

Everyone looked stern. They immediately poured out the hot soup from their helmets and put it on their heads. Then they leaned over and grabbed the long sword stuck beside them. Almost instantly, they entered a state of nervous alert! (End of chapter)
