Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 12
"What does the sea look like?" The next day, after leaving the station, Meng Yi took the initiative to ask.

"Water, water is everywhere." Zhao Si replied bored.

"Like the Great Kyushu? Surrounded by the ocean?" Meng Yi asked again.

"Well, there are storms from time to time, and there are basically ten deaths if it capsizes at sea." Zhao Si nodded, but he became interested in the theory of the Great Kyushu that Meng Yi said.

Is there any research on overseas in this era?

"What is the Great Kyushu theory?" Zhao Si asked.

Meng Yi smiled and sent someone to deliver books such as "Zou Zi", "Zou Zi's Beginning", "The Great Sage".

"After reading it, if you have any doubts, you can ask me." Meng Yi said with a smile. He didn't have a good impression of Xu Fu, but he had a better impression of Zhao Si, a young man who lived up to the king's orders by seizing the ship.

Zhao Si looked at the bamboo tube in his hand and fell into deep thought. Facing Meng Yi's sudden friendliness, Zhao Si did not refuse, but asked Meng Yi a question seriously.

"Can I ask for words I don't know?" Zhao Si was a little embarrassed.

After all, he is a modern person, and he completely lost his memory when he went to sea.

During the days when the fleet was moored in Fusang, Zhao Siyou worked hard to learn contemporary characters and languages, but it was easy to learn to speak, but not so easy to learn to read.

Because everyone can speak, but not everyone can read.

It is also worth mentioning that Xiaozhuan in this era is really complicated and difficult to write. Except for some common characters, Zhao Si can't correspond to the Chinese characters in memory at all.

At present, Zhao Si doesn't know many words, and his reading ability is very poor. It's a problem to finish reading "Zou Zi". Meng Yi is really overestimating himself.

Meng Yi paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes!"

A smile appeared on Zhao Si's face. As a modern person, there was no need to explain the importance of reading and literacy.

In the next few days, Zhao Si showed the aura of hanging his head and stabbing his thighs.

After all, there is a Mr. Bailai by his side. Zhao Si doesn't know if Meng Yi's education level is high, but he must have a higher education level than himself.

Zhao Si highlighted the idea of ​​looking more, asking more, and keeping one's own opinion.

While reading, asking, and learning to read, it took a long time to roughly read these books.

After reading it, the frame has arrived in Xianyang.

Meng Yi and Zhao Si and their party are about to part.

"Your Majesty values ​​you very much! Work hard!" Meng Yi patted Zhao Si on the shoulder.

After roughly understanding Zou Zi's thinking and the way he perceives the world, Zhao Si probably has a certain understanding.

In his previous life, Zhao Si didn't listen to Zou Zi at all. As a modern person in his previous life, who would delve into this kind of thing?
The most familiar people in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period are nothing more than Laozi, Zhuangzi, Mozi, Confucius and others. Zouzi, who was born in the Yinyang family, seems a little unknown to modern people.

After actually reading Zou Zi's masterpiece, Zhao Si was able to roughly understand why Meng Yi gave him Zou Zi's book.

Because the first emperor attached great importance to Zou Zi's knowledge.

First of all, the theory of five virtues put forward by Zou Zizhong provides a theoretical basis for Qin Shihuang to replace Zhou.

That is to say, Zou Yan said that "the five virtues are invincible, Yu Tu, Xia Mu, Yin Jin, and Zhou Huo."

However, people in Qin still favor black, which belongs to water, which corresponds to the virtue of water, so it is reasonable to stand on behalf of Zhou.

Not to mention the theory of the Great Kyushu, what Zhao Si can be sure of is that after the unification, as long as one wants to continue to expand abroad, the theory of the Great Kyushu must be used as a theoretical basis.

Zou Zi, who lived in Qidi and grew up next to the sea, had longing and speculation about the outside world from a very early age.

And this guess is more accurate than the Kyushu theory.It is also more in line with the national conditions of Daqin.

If Daqin wants to expand, it cannot respect the theory of Kyushu.

Otherwise, skeptics will take the Kyushu theory as a theory, saying that the world will be unified, and the rest will be a barren land, which will bring strong ideological obstacles to expansion.

In a sense, Kyushu theory should be swept into the dust of the previous era after the domination of the world.

After unification, Kyushu theory has only archaeological value from any point of view. Objectively speaking, the arrogance and arrogance of the Celestial Kingdom formed by the later generations of Xia have a certain relationship with Kyushu theory.

"Meng Yi!" Zhao Si held the scriptures that Meng Yi personally annotated in his hand and looked at the back of Meng Yi leaving, showing some gratitude.

Meng Yi's selfless help is not only because Zhao Si has learned a lot of knowledge.

There are also commendable points.

If you understand Zou Zi and the national conditions of Great Qin, you will know why the first emperor valued the return of Zhao Si and his party so much.

"Hiss! So, isn't it really possible for Great Qin to carry out colonial expansion?" Zhao Si gasped as he looked at Zou Zi's masterpiece in his hand, contributing to global warming.

Different from the national conditions of other eras, Daqin's basic national policy determines that it must continue to expand outwards and transfer pressure outwards.

If the pressure is too great, or if it continues to be unable to transfer outward, then the country will inevitably collapse.

Zhao Si felt that he had some clues, but he couldn't figure it out. After all, he didn't know the specific laws of this era, and he didn't understand the basic structure of the farming and warfare system of the Qin Dynasty.

But he can vaguely feel that transferring pressure outwards is a good method. In the previous life, the US emperor often did this. Although it is shameless, it is not easy to hold.

As long as you can keep winning, no, you don't need to keep winning, as long as you have enough gains!
But this time, he brought a world map, more than 400 crew members with mature sailing experience, and the first ocean-going chart of this era.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Si completed the most difficult breakthrough from zero to one.

It just so happens that Daqin has the top shipbuilding technology of this era, and is the only country capable of sailing and attacking across the sea.

Combining the two, Zhao Si blinked.

He is really not sure whether Daqin will embark on the road of foreign plunder because of this. After all, the national conditions are different, and Daqin's internal pressure is too great, so the pressure must be diverted.

In the two directions of north and south, the harvest is obviously insufficient, and Daqin needs a direction with greater harvest.

But can the sea of ​​this era really bring enough gains to Daqin?Zhao Si didn't know, after all, apart from Daqin and Liaoliao countries in this era, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the rest of the places are primitive people.

Reminiscent of the more than 400 seafarers' native places in separate books, as well as the book donated by Meng Yi, Zhao Si can be sure that perhaps the first time he presented the world map as a gift, Emperor Shihuang already had the idea of ​​conquest and expansion.

It is impossible for the First Emperor to believe in the theory of Kyushu. As the emperor of Qin, he must believe in the theory of Great Kyushu!
