Qin Hu

Chapter 104 What the pen points to, what the heart wants, and what you want is fulfilled!
Zhao Zihu's face darkened, and he muttered speechlessly: "I'm not a father~!"

As long as the government and businessmen do it, it means that they can be abolished smoothly.

Still the same sentence, at that time, officials and businessmen must be dependent on millions of waterworkers for food and clothing, and if they are laid off, there will inevitably be big troubles.

Even the privatization of state-owned enterprises in later generations will cause all kinds of pains.

It's good for Yingzheng, he only cares about his own pleasure, leave the sequelae to him to deal with, let him be that big villain...

However, this attitude of daring to leave the mess to future generations seems to be a good sign, proving that Ying Zheng is no longer in a hurry to become fat with one bite, and is thinking about building something called "Wannian Daqin".

As long as he doesn't play evil tricks and build that unrealistic eternal foundation, he will really be the one... no, the one emperor of all ages!
Han Wu Tang Zong, all have to stand aside, they are not qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder at all!
Don't even mention the gift of the ancestors, there is no need to lower the class!
"If you say that you are not a man, you are not a son of man. What face do you have to call your beak a father?"

Ying Zheng seemed to have heard Zhao Zihu's muttering clearly, and retorted angrily.

Zhao Zihu was stunned for a moment, and asked in doubt: "How can I not be my son?"

Ying Zheng picked up the still-warm barbecue meat with his chopsticks, dipped it in the sauce, stuffed it into his mouth, and said softly, "You cowardly kid, you tricked me into sending a fleet out to sea for my father to seek immortality and medicine. What's on your mind? Can't find it?"

"As a subject, if you deceive your father, can you be a son of man?"

When Zhao Zihu heard this, he couldn't help but be embarrassed, and said in embarrassment: "Seeking immortality and medicine and looking for vegetables and grains are both correct in themselves, and it is definitely not a lie to the father..."

He didn't intend to hide Ying Zheng for a long time when he went out to search for vegetables and grains. After all, it wasn't some shameful death.

The reason why he used the excuse of seeking immortality and medicine to persuade Ying Zheng yesterday was because he wanted to implement the matter as soon as possible.

Who made him keen on seeking immortality and medicine!

As for the fact that Ying Zheng found out the real purpose afterwards, just like now, he had already thought of his excuse.

It is a matter of two things in itself, and there is nothing wrong with it!

"Cheating is cheating, don't make excuses...that is, you, the father, don't want to be harsh... If it were someone else who dared to lie to me like this, it would be light to be buried alive..."

Ying Zheng reprimanded them angrily, and then took out two cloths with nautical charts and sextants drawn on them from the Yuxi niche box, and asked, "Can you recognize them?"

Zhao Zihu nodded: "They are all drawn by Erchen, so I know them naturally. One is the map of the East Sea, and the other is the sextant for navigation and positioning."

Seeing his honest admission, Ying Zheng felt resentment dispelled. He pointed to the pattern of the sextant and asked, "This thing is weird. How can I use navigation and positioning at sea?"

Zhao Zihu looked at the extremely abstract sextant, scratched his head and said, "Father, when you turn around, you can issue an order to cut off the hands of the person who stole the drawing of the sextant. All the good things will be stolen and painted like that." It's gone."

Ying Zheng: "..."

Everyone in the world says that I am a tyrant. If you are the second emperor, you will be a hundred times more tyrannical!

I don't know when you will be able to learn the humility of your elder brother Fusu, even if it is only [-]%!

"Based on this pattern, I really can't explain it."

"Father only needs to know that this small tube is used to observe the sea level..."

"And the mirror at the top of the triangle is used to reflect the stars in the sky..."

"Reflected to the small mirror on the opposite side of the small tube, observe the sea level and star position through the small tube, adjust the scale to make them parallel..."

"Finally, by calculating the included angle scale, you can get your own position..."

Zhao Zihu tried his best to keep it simple, but Ying Zheng still heard Dan Feng's eyes staring at the mosquito coils.

The small sextant is actually a combination of astronomy, mathematics, the use of high-precision machinery, and other knowledge, and it is normal to not understand it.

In the end, Ying Zheng couldn't listen anymore. He didn't need to understand these things. He waved his hand to interrupt the big talk about the awakening of the engineering dog's soul, and said, "Then can Li You learn how to use this ritual?"

Zhao Zihu nodded subconsciously, but he hesitated halfway through the nod: "Can you...?"

"Even if he can't learn it, there are those alchemists from the Eastern Sea. Although they are keen to seek immortality and medicine, they are all knowledgeable and talented. Presumably they can learn it... right?"

Hearing what he said, Ying Zheng hesitated more and more, as if he was not sure, so he smiled and said: "You, you are still too impetuous in doing things."

"Although I am eager for success in doing things, I know that using the most suitable people to do the most suitable things can get twice the result with half the effort."

"How dare you act rashly when your manpower is not yet ready?"

Zhao Zihu smacked his lips in embarrassment, but he was speechless.

Again, easier said than done.

He can reason with Wang Li, but he may not be able to do it himself.

In the same way, although Ying Zheng's words are plausible and sound like a person, in fact, he may not really be able to do it himself.

"For my father, I recommend a person to you. He is a disciple of the sage Xunzi, a junior of Han Fei and Li Si. He is knowledgeable and talented, especially proficient in arithmetic. I think he can learn to use your sextant."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ying Zheng made a move.

Zhao Zihu was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows dumbly and said, "Xunzi's high-ranking apprentice? Master Han Fei and Li Xiang's younger brother?"

"Why have I never heard anyone mention that there are such talented people in our Great Qin court?"

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Xunzi has had countless apprentices in his life, and the ones with the biggest names are Han Fei and Li Si."

"Besides, Xunzi himself is so famous, didn't he just make a Lanling order when he was an official?"

"To be erudite and talented, and to be an official is actually two different things."

"For my father, I introduced you to this high-ranking student of Xunzi. That's how he is. Although he is knowledgeable and talented, he is uninhibited."

"To tell the truth, my father really looked down on him, so I only gave him the official position of censor, and also the job of being in charge of the royal classics."

"Now he is in the royal driving, taking care of the books brought out from Xianyang for me, no different from the servant!"

Zhao Zihu was stunned and asked, "What's the name of this person?"

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment: "The surname is Zhang, and the single name is the word Cang."

Zhao Zihu was taken aback again, and said in astonishment, "Zhang Cang?"

Seeing him like this, Ying Zheng was a little surprised, and asked curiously, "Has my son heard of this person before?"

Of course Zhao Zihu has heard of it, the editor of Nine Chapters of Arithmetic, of course he is a well-known science student.

And aside from academic achievements, Zhang Cang's political achievements are not bad, he was one of the more famous ministers in the early Han Dynasty, and he seemed to be a prime minister.

Unexpectedly, he was also a guy who was a courtier of Qin Dynasty!

"Well, I've heard that...he seems to be really talented...supposedly he can learn how to use the sextant."

Zhao Zihu nodded vaguely.

Yingzheng didn't talk nonsense, and immediately said to the servant next to him: "Tomorrow, I will call Zhang Cang, and go to the military camp to listen."

"only."

The servant inside agreed.

At this time, another servant had already brought a pen, ink, cloth and silk, removed the wine and meat for Ying Zheng, and spread it on the table.

However, Ying Zheng was not in a hurry to establish a government-business system. He just put away the sextant pattern, pointed to another abstract chart and said, "What's the point of this chart?"

Looking at the extremely abstract chart, Zhao Zihu couldn't help twitching the corner of his mouth and said, "Father really should issue an order to cut off the hands of the person who stole the chart, and it's useless to keep it!"

"If the thing he painted is spread, it will be a misleading disciple and cause a lot of harm to others!"

Ying Zheng: "..."

Yingzheng seriously suspected that Zhao Zihu wanted to get revenge on the people who stole the pictures and reported him, but there was no evidence, so he simply pretended not to hear: "Don't say strange things, and talk to your father in detail, there is such a vast distance overseas. Land?"

Zhao Zihu smacked his lips, nodded and said, "It's more than that, it's just the land of our Great Qin Dongfang, separated by the distant sea."

"The larger land is actually in the west of our Great Qin, after passing through the territory of the Yuezhi people, and over a mountain range, there is a truly vast land."

"Moreover, it is vast and prosperous, and its Wenhua and Bingfeng are not weaker than our land of China!"

Ying Zheng was dumbfounded, Danfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Isn't it weaker in Huaxia? Or is it not weaker in Daqin?"

The Huaxia before the Great Qin was not a whole, and its power was relatively scattered, but the power of the Huaxia after the unification of the Great Qin was not the same.

Therefore, Ying Zheng asked this question. If he is not weaker than Da Qin, it would be a bit scary.

Zhao Zihu said quietly: "It's not weaker than Daqin, even about a hundred years ago, in the time of ancestor Huiwen, it was slightly better than Daqin."

Ying Zheng was stunned: "Really?"

Zhao Zihu knew in his heart that Lao Tzu didn't believe him, after all, seeing is believing and hearing is not.

He didn't talk nonsense, just happened to have laid silk and ink on the table, so he picked up the brush, dipped it in thick ink, and started painting directly on the cloth.

He first drew the territory of Great Qin, and then while recalling, he simply sketched out the territory of the super continent from Longxi to Congling, and then to the west of Congling.

Comparing the territory of Daqin, we can see how vast the land west of Congling is.

Ying Zheng looked a little stunned, and Dan Feng's eyes widened.

What is an eye-opener?

This is called eye-opening!

In fact, there are western merchants coming and going in and out of Xianyang. Although there are few, there are already.

Especially in the past two years, the overall peace in China's territory has been peaceful, and there have been no wars, and there have been more miscellaneous merchants.

In order to see the strangeness, Ying Zheng also summoned those miscellaneous hairs.

But those who came from the farthest were businessmen from the newly formed countries of the Western Regions, that is, Loulan, Shache and other countries.

Not even Dawan!
The red rabbit horse that Zhao Zihu snatched from Yingzheng was a Loulan merchant who trafficked it from the Dawan area, and no one had ever been to Congling!
Therefore, in Yingzheng's impression, outside Congling, just like outside the East China Sea, is a place of nothingness.

But in the past two days, Ying Zheng's cognition has been refreshed one after another.

Beyond the East China Sea, there is a huge land that is wider and more fertile than the Great Qin.

Beyond the Congling Mountains in the west, there is a huge land that is vaster than the Great Qin, and Wenhua and Bingfeng were once slightly stronger than the Great Qin.

This is very subversive, completely subversive!
After a long while, Zhao Zihu finally stopped sketching, and said to Ying Zheng who had gradually recovered his composure, but his expression was difficult to understand: "Father, please look, this is the vast land in the west of Great Qin."

"In fact, there is also a vast land in the north of the Great Qin, but it is bitter and cold, not as much as our Great Qin."

Ying Zheng nodded, looked at him strangely, and asked, "My son, where did you know this?"

Zhao Zihu said nonsense: "A roll of sheepskin is said to be left by a strange person. I bought the sheepskin from a merchant in Xianyang. Later, I thought it was ridiculous. I don't know where it was thrown away."

Ying Zheng: "..."

Yingzheng's beard was shaking, and his hands were twitching, as if he wanted to hit someone.

Zhao Zihu's words sounded like nonsense.

But it is unbelievable, after all, there is no other explanation.

Moreover, it was not this time that Zhao Zihu uttered nonsense. He always had these strange things in his mind, and Ying Zheng used to treat them as nonsense.

This time, it seemed to be a random fabrication, but it was really seductive, and it made him lose his mind!

If the sheepskin left by that strange man is real, but this cowardly child throws it away, he really deserves a beating!

"call……"

Ying Zheng let out a sigh of relief, suppressed the urge to beat the baby, focused on the simple map in front of him, and asked: "You said that the West has Wenhua and soldiers that are slightly better than Daqin. Where is the country?"

"Or, which country's territory is all this vast land!"

Zhao Zihu scratched his head, turned his brush, and drew a big circle on the Western Continent, covering almost the entire Western Continent: "This is the territory of that country!"

Yingzheng's red phoenix eyes suddenly widened again: "How can such a large country be managed?"

The management of the unified Huaxia has already made him feel physically and mentally exhausted, and he feels that he is far less able to manage the Great Qin at the beginning.

However, the big circle Zhao Zihu drew was several times larger than that of Daqin. He really couldn't imagine how a monarch could manage it effectively?

Zhao Zihu smiled, nodded and said: "There is no way to manage it, so this country, after only a few years of prosperity, suddenly collapsed."

"Now it is even more falling apart. The big ones are like the Great Qin at that time, and the small ones are like the Zhuxia Houguo back then!"

Ying Zheng suddenly realized, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

If there is a monarch who can rule such a large territory, he will have to learn a lot, he is just like a god-man.

But now it seems that there are no gods!
He himself is the most awesome god-man!

"In detail, how did that country prosper and how did it collapse?"

Ying Zheng was very interested and asked.

Taking history as a mirror is not unique to later generations.

In the pre-Qin period, it was also popular to use the past to describe the present, or even use the past to satirize the present.

Otherwise, Li Si wouldn't have made admonishment and burned the historical materials and classics of various countries. It is true that some people used the past to satirize the present, and even made up nonsense to satirize the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, and Ying Zheng couldn't stand it anymore. That's why the book burning happened.

Let you make it up, and you won't have to play it in the future!
"Well, that country was actually very small at the beginning... even smaller than South Korea, but two generations of monarchs determined to reform, like our Great Qin, and became a country of tigers and wolves. Therefore, from a corner of the land, it has expanded wildly by a hundred times in a few years."

"But the monarch only cares about attacking and occupying, satisfying the desire to conquer, and does not govern. He randomly entrusts the territory to the generals for management. Once he dies, the empire will naturally collapse."

Zhao Zihu roughly explained.
