The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 100
No matter what, Fusu's first thought when he heard this was: Hypocritical!It's too hypocritical!

No matter who makes such a great contribution, he will definitely be able to be named a marquis and worship a minister. This guy Zheng He... Forget it, the emperor does not judge ministers based on personal preferences. This is the most basic quality of an emperor.

"Zheng He stepped forward to listen to the seal!" Fusu said with a solemn expression, Zheng He knelt on the ground and moved his knees to Fusu's face, and said: "How dare you, a slave!"

Fu Su sternly said: "Zheng He went south to find Champa rice, which is the greatest good news for my people in Daqin. From now on, this Champa rice will surely feed hundreds of millions of people. I will seal Zheng He as Wang Haihou , enjoying the treatment of a third-rank official."

The nine-rank official system was implemented only after Zheng He went to sea. Although Zheng He didn't understand what Fusu meant, he sneaked a look at Meng Tian and Xu Guangqi next to him, with a look of envy Looking at himself, he realized that these third-rank officials must be extremely high.

At that moment Zheng He kowtowed and knelt down and said, "Thank you Lord Long En, long live my emperor!"

"Haha! Marquis Wang Hai, hurry up and invite everyone to go to sea with you, everyone will be rewarded! Meng Yi, I will leave this matter to you!"

"My minister obeys the order!" Meng Yi hurriedly bowed.

Now Fusu boarded the warship, and Zheng He was serving him while introducing: "The Champa rice from Cochin is very hot all year round, and it can be ripened four to five times a year. These craftsmen When they came to our place, they said that the weather here is cold, even if it is planted, it is estimated that it can only mature twice a year."

"That's two crops a year." Fusu nodded, "According to the calculation of Liaodong, even if it matures twice a year, it's already a lot of money."

"Your Majesty is right!" Zheng He catered.

Suddenly, Fusu thought that in later generations, the Northeast region seemed to be very suitable for growing corn and selling it. According to what Fusu had learned in school, these things seemed to be introduced to China from places like America by Zheng He's voyages to the West.

When it came to corn, Fusu suddenly thought of a better grain - potatoes, or potatoes!This kind of thing does not pick the ground at all, no matter what kind of barren land it is, it can be planted, and now the army of Fusu is going north, and the places where the Hu people are entrenched (parts of Heilongjiang Province and the area to the north in later generations), no matter how barren the land is , but it is the best choice for planting potatoes and other things!

Fusu asked calmly: "Zheng He, you are going to Jiaozhi this time, do you know where Jiaozhi is heading south?"

Zheng He seemed to have such a question when he talked about Fusu, so he opened his mouth and said, "Jiaozhi is to the south, and there is also an endless sea, but the people of Jiaozhi told Weichen that if you walk along the southern coast, you can reach other places. In the capital, there is a mark on the nautical chart handed down from the ancestors. The place where Jiaozhi is located is a peninsula. Bypassing this peninsula, you can enter another sea.

In this sea, there is an equally powerful capital, which is changed to Shendu (ancient India), and then there is a country called Da Yuezhi. To the west of Da Yuezhi is the Persian. The name of the capital they established is Anxi. On the edge of the Parthian Empire, there is another capital, its name seems to be the Roman State. "

For these things, Fusu already knew in his heart, but when he said them through Zheng He's mouth, the effect was better.

"Some time ago, I looked through the classics of the ancient sages and found that these countries were indeed recorded in the classics of the sages. However, when I was looking through these classics, I also discovered an interesting thing, that is, in the east of the East China Sea. , there is also a continent, and people on that continent grow two things, one is potatoes and the other is corn.”

"This..." Zheng He couldn't help but exchanged glances with Xu Guangqimengyi who was beside him, and found that they didn't know what Fusu said.

Fusu was not in a hurry either. These two things were introduced to the whole world after the voyages of Columbus in later generations.However, Fusu believed that according to Zheng He's navigation technology, he would definitely be able to reach South America.

"Come on! Bring the pen and paper!" Fu Su shouted, and Zheng He immediately ordered someone to bring the pen and paper, as well as the desk.

Fusu licked the nib of the pen, and began to move his hand on this piece of "paper" that Mengtian made according to Fusu's papermaking technique.

In just a moment, the basic outlines of the seven continents and four oceans of the world appeared on the paper.

When Zheng He saw it, his eyes lit up!Can't help but lose his voice: "Your Majesty, this... the part drawn on the map... is the same as the nautical chart left by my ancestors." While speaking, Zheng He gestured for the part of the Indian Ocean .

Fusu smiled slightly and said: "This is what I want to say..." After a pause, Fusu pointed to the west coast of the Pacific Ocean with a brush and said: "My Chinese people live in this area, but through this ocean , I saw that the sages named it the Pacific Ocean! On the east coast of the Pacific Ocean, the upper continent was named North America by the sages, and the lower continent was called South America by the sages. The potatoes and corn I mentioned , just to the east of South America!"

Zheng He, Xu Guangqi, and Meng Yi were in a daze when they heard it. They never thought that such a thing would exist in the world.

Fu Su said again: "I want you to lead the fleet, set off from Calabash City, and then go all the way north. Remember, when you go north, the weather will gradually become colder, and you may encounter ice and snow at that time, so you are on the boat. Be sure to bring extra warm things.

Going up from here, you'd better follow the outline of the continent. Yes, it is the basic outline drawn for you. I believe that with your understanding of astronomy and geography, you, Zheng He, will be able to stay within the outline of the continent. When you get to North America, don't stop, because those places are uncultivated wilderness, God knows what there will be.

Then, you go all the way south, Zheng He, you must remember that in every season, the wind blowing on the sea is different, this is called ocean current, when you arrive in South America, go directly around the southernmost tip of South America, Then go north along the east coast of South America, you can find the population on the east coast, you have to remember, the skin of the people there is black, remember to bring back potatoes and corn from them! "

After Fusu finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced at the three of them, and suddenly found that Meng Tian and the others were looking at him with extremely shocked eyes.

"Have you all remembered what I said?" Fu Su frowned and asked.

"Remember it!" Zheng He paused and said hastily.

Fu Su nodded slightly, and said: "There is one more thing you have to remember, when you go from North America to South America, you will experience a strange phenomenon."

"Your Majesty's famous words are also welcome!" Zheng He bowed.

Fu Su thought for a while, and said: "You will find that within a period of time, the time of day and night is the same, that is to say, there are six hours in the day and six hours in the night. Evenly divided, after you pass through this section of the sea, you will reach the border of South America, of course, you still have to judge based on your own experience and what you have learned all your life."

"Zheng He, the matter here is a good deed concerning the common people in the world. If you can return successfully, I will confer you the title of King of the Sea! The soldiers under your command can be conferred the title of Marquis as appropriate!" Fusu said in an extremely excited tone.

Meng Yi and Xu Guangqi were shocked when they heard the words, and hurriedly bowed down: "Your Majesty! I can't do anything about being king!"

Even Zheng He himself was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground. The First Emperor had never been crowned king, but now Fusu proposed to be crowned king again, and he still made himself king!

Zheng He was frightened to death.

But Fusu looked stern: "The first emperor said that there is no king in the world, but if Zheng He can accomplish this, I will confer the title of King of Outer Sea. Besides, Meng Yi, you must mobilize materials from all over the country to assist Meng Yi in completing this task." This matter, if anyone dares to obstruct it, I will definitely kill the nine clans!"

"No!" Meng Yi quickly knelt down and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Zheng He! I am willing to mobilize supplies from all over the country to you. Are you confident in finding potatoes and corn for me?"

Zheng He was shocked when he heard this, and kowtowed: "Your Majesty trusts me so much, even if I die in the sea, I have to find these two kinds of potatoes and corn for necessity!"

"Besides, with the blueprint drawn by His Majesty, I have at least [-]% chance of finding South America!" Zheng He said with his eyes glowing as he looked at the blueprint on the desk.

Fusu just nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, I will draw a more urgent and detailed map for you later, I wish you complete this voyage!"

"Your Majesty is so fond of this matter, and so fond of this humble minister, I must repay it with death!" Zheng He was so excited that he almost cried.

Fusu was also deeply moved, and he helped Zheng He with both hands: "What you and my monarchs and ministers are doing now is a great event for thousands of years, and it will definitely be recorded in history in the future. And sailed to South America to find potatoes and corn, and it was a blessing to the world and passed down forever."

"Chen..." Zheng He choked up with excitement, who wouldn't want to be famous in history and be passed down for generations?Since Fusu said so, then Zheng He must be recorded in the annals of history.

"Your Majesty, I dare to ask you a question. I heard that the sages mentioned by Your Majesty recorded these things before, and I didn't know that what Your Majesty said was to take a book? I also boast that I have read poetry and books, but...why haven't I heard of it? "Finally, Xu Guangqi discovered the problem and couldn't help asking Fusu.

When Fu Su heard this, he thought to himself: "This pretending is too much, how can I make up this lie? By the way, when I was resurrected for the first time, I used the theory of ghosts and gods. Why don't I just come here this time?" How about the oracle?"

Thinking of this in his heart, Fusu's complexion suddenly changed drastically, his face turned purple, and his whole body was shaking extremely violently, but in an instant, Fusu fell headfirst on the boat...

"Your Majesty! Escort..."

"Summon Sun Simiao..."
