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

Chapter 7 What do you want?just go home
Zhao Si loves appetite more.

But for a person like the First Emperor who has escaped from low-level tastes, it is obvious that he is not so interested in new varieties of spices.

Hearing that chili is not a food but a spice seems to be somewhat dispirited.

However, there are three new grains of sweet potato, potato and corn, which are already quite fruitful.

According to Zhao Si, the average yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes can reach [-] catties per mu, and the growth cycle of corn is twice as short as that of wheat, and the yield is slightly higher. Although they are not elixir of life, these three things are indeed worth returning to Daqin for offering.

"Is there enough remaining species?" Shi Huang asked.

"There are many more on board."

When Zhao Si arrived in America, he deliberately stored a large amount of seeds. In order to prevent spoilage, he even planted them on the ship, so there were quite a few seeds left, and each of them weighed more than a hundred catties.

Zhao Si also kept a lot of chili seeds, purely for Zhao Si's own selfishness, as for the other fruit and vegetable seeds, he didn't keep so many, one kind is about a small bag, as long as you can keep a seed.

The First Emperor nodded, indicating to Meng Yi to send someone to deliver the inoculation on the boat, and then looked at Zhao Si.

"Why did you return to Qin?" Shi Huang asked the last question.

What Zhao Si said was very good, loyal to Great Qin, loyal to Qin Shihuang.

There seems to be no problem with his resume. After seizing the ship and leaving, he continued to carry out the king's orders, and did not return to Qin halfway until he discovered a significant new crop.

And these resumes are well proven. There are more than 400 people on board, it is impossible to collate and agree, and it is easy to ask the truth if they are asked separately.

However, Emperor Shihuang keenly caught one point.

Zhao Si's fleet did not call at the port for the first time, but stayed overseas a month ago, and only sent a ship to contact the local government of Langya before collectively calling at the port.

It just so happened that the first emperor was on a tour of the world at that time, passing through Langya, and learned that the fleet that went out to search for immortals had returned, so he went to Langya to wait for it.

Zhao Si was silent for a moment and said: "It's all about going home."

In fact, no matter what kind of belief it is, it is not as strong as homesickness and returning home.

Those who really want to carry out the king's orders desperately are very few. Most of the people who follow Zhao Si to seize the boat and go to sea, the deepest obsession in their hearts is to go home.

Executing the king's order is essentially an excuse for not wanting to live overseas.

It's easy to stay, but if you stay, you can never go back.

Going out to carry out the king's order, there is such an illusory hope of returning home.

Even if many people know that the matter of seeking immortals is very vague, maybe they will not be able to fulfill the king's order in their whole life and set foot on the land of their hometown again.

But many people would rather die on the way home.

"At that time when we went to sea, there were people on board, who didn't have any family members? Some of them were virgins, some of them were the only children in the family." Zhao Si said.

This is the heaviness of this era.

Xu Fu's journey to sea is the first ocean exploration and voyage in the history of Zhuxia. It sounds magnificent and full of epic flavor.

However, in essence, this trip to sea was a deception by Xu Fu alone, and a tragedy for thousands of families.

Artisans, farmers, soldiers, bid farewell to the children at home, and eventually fell overseas... never to return home for life.

Three thousand boys and girls, when they were still ignorant, set foot on the ship amidst the mournful cries of their parents. From then on, they never saw the faces of their relatives again for decades.

The memory will gradually blur and dissipate in their minds, and even they just remember that they have parents, but they don't know who their parents are.

The magnificent poetry of history was written with blood and tears.

And Xu Fu's going to sea is just a small episode of this era.

Who doesn't want to go home?Everyone wants to go home.

What are they afraid of?Isn't he afraid of being implicated and killed for failing to fulfill the king's order?

This may be Xu Fu's deception, but no one is willing to use their lives to test the truth.

Zhao Si couldn't even uncover Xu Fu's deception, because he had no way to confront Xu Fu, and he couldn't represent Shi Huang.

Everyone wanted to go home, but only more than 900 people took the boat with Zhao Si and fled. Those who stayed in Fusang were essentially homeless poor people.

The First Emperor looked at Zhao Si with serious eyes.

"Are you blaming me?"

Zhao Si shook his head sincerely.

"I should thank Your Majesty." Zhao Si said seriously.

Zhao Si loved adventures in her previous life, and she also loved adventures after time travel.

Zhao Si led 900 people to seize the ship and sail around the world. The root of supporting Zhao Si lies in Zhao Si's adventurous spirit.

In the pre-Qin period more than 2000 years ago, there were fleets capable of crossing the sea with experienced crews.

But in this era, everything is wild and unknown, so many places have not yet been conquered, and every place you step on is a new world.

Zhao Si, can't refuse such a temptation!

In essence, there seems to be no difference between Zhao Si and Xu Fu, he is also using the crew.

Using them to reap his own spiritual satisfaction, even Zhao Si's immediate thought was not to take them home, but to find a way to coax a group of people to complete his feat of traveling around the world.

It was the guy who was the same age as himself lying dying beside Zhao Si along the way, fearfully but firmly begging Zhao Si to take his ashes back to his hometown and burial in his hometown, Zhao Si was determined to take them home.

It's a pity that some people died in the sea and couldn't be retrieved. They could only bring back some of his clothes.

Some encountered a sea storm, and the ship capsized, and even the ashes on board were gone.

As a time traveler, Zhao Si was the initiator and leader of this circumnavigation plan, and was the direct beneficiary of Emperor Shihuang Xunxian.

He has no right to resent the first emperor.

What is certain is that after the three crops, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corns, grow, and Zhao Si's remarks are verified, almost all crew members will receive rich awards.

Even these crew members would not resent the first emperor.

Who will they hate?Hate the Qin officials who defined themselves as virgins back then?Hate Xu Fu who coaxed the first emperor?In short, I can't hate the first emperor.

The First Emperor looked at Zhao Si for a long while, finally nodded and smiled, then turned his back and left.

This little guy gave Shi Huangdi a strange feeling.

how to say?

It was as if this little guy was born with a convincing and close feeling when speaking.

Normally, Emperor Shihuang would never ask such nonsense that you are blaming me.

The first emperor was not a fool, he knew what he did better than anyone else, there were countless people who hated him, and the first emperor never longed for anyone to understand him, similarly, he didn't care about anyone's emotions.

This little guy is different... the conversation with him seems to be more emotionally affected.

Looking back on the conversation with this little guy, I can also feel that my mood seems to be more pleasant, and even the whole person is a little more relaxed. It is a very natural environment to get along with.
