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

Chapter 47 The Ultimate Master First Emperor

Zhao Si chatted with Shi Huangdi while Wang Li sat beside him.

Wang Ben took a deep look at his son and shook his head slightly. Seeing that there was not much meat left in the pot, he put a piece of meat with his sword and put it in the pot.

Wang Ben was quite busy, helping to pour the wine and slice the meat.

Wang Li, who was already a little dizzy, always felt dizzy.

My father actually poured wine and cooked meat for him himself, um... although he was just a foil.

The First Emperor did not invite Wang Ben to eat together, nor did he intentionally talk to Wang Li, but continued to chat with Zhao Si.

When Zhao Si was at Langya Port, the conversation between Zhao Si and Emperor Shi Huang didn't last too long, so it wasn't very detailed.

This time, Zhao Si added many details.

Strictly speaking, in fact, many places in this era were relatively primitive and barren. Except for Central Asia and Europe, most of the rest of the world were in the era of indigenous tribalism.

Even in Central Asia and Europe, it is actually difficult to compare with the now unified Great Qin.

Zhao Si is not very clear about the economic conditions and living standards in Central Asia and Europe in this era. He only stops by the shore when supplying supplies, and he doesn't even know the local political power.

Therefore, apart from geographical and ethnic aspects, there is relatively little information that can be provided to Shi Huangdi.

After all, they were not serious missions, and Zhao Si's main purpose was to lead the crew back home.

Of course, even such insignificant information is precious in this era, at least telling the first emperor the general appearance of the world.

"Besides the four poles, most of them are Huawai natives?" Shi Huang asked.

Zhao Si nodded, this is really the case.

Australian aboriginals, African aboriginals, and Native Americans are not very good to be honest. They are not in the same order of magnitude as Daqin, and there is no way to compare them.

What really deserves attention is Central Asia and Europe. They are the characters who can step into the chess game.

The First Emperor frowned slightly.

The good news is that Daqin is strong enough, even in the vast world beyond the four poles, it is still in the first echelon. This is a fact Zhao Si affirms.

The bad news is that the vast world beyond the four poles is too barren.

The worse news is that the vast world beyond the four poles is too far away.

The news that Zhao Si brought back was too crude, and what was really valuable was the sea chart.

If you want to gain a deeper understanding of the cultural structure and environment of regimes around the world, you must dispatch a new fleet.

Daqin has a large population, but compared to the vastness of the world, it is rather insignificant.

The First Emperor instinctively began to think.

As the first emperor who swept across the world, when he learned that the world is vast and fertile, and the first moment he saw the complete world map, he had the idea that he should take it for himself.

Just like the moment he first came to the throne, he took it for granted that the world should be mixed under his own hands, and that the world should only write one language, speak one language, and use the same weight and measure.

Of course, he knew such an idea was absurd.

The first emperor could even imagine that it would take more than ten years for the Qin officials at the other end of the world to learn about the political changes in the central government, and even decades to respond.

Not to mention the collection of taxes everywhere.

In order to take away the Hetao land from the Huns, the First Emperor could build a Qin Straight Road to facilitate the transportation of materials.

But what about the world?
Is it possible to build another Qin Zhidao?

How long and far will it take, and how much manpower and material resources will it take?

As a diligent emperor but not very fond of the people, the first emperor had a clear understanding of Daqin's financial situation and affordability.

It can be said that the current state of Qin is already at its limit.

There were 30 Qin troops in the Hetao area, and hundreds of thousands of conscripts who built the Great Wall.

The 60 Qin army in the Baiyue area...

The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, the Efang Palace, which is under construction vigorously.

The laying and construction of the Tiandi Chi Road continued.

The Qin State under the first emperor is like a precision instrument, and the first emperor is the most sensitive manipulator, allowing the empire to operate at its maximum power, laying various large projects without suddenly collapsing.

Zhao Si is a lunatic who loves adventure, otherwise he would never have received sponsorship from Red Bull in his previous life.

The first emperor also had a crazy adventure factor in his bones.

He has never been intimidated. After creating an unprecedented unification, he recklessly started the monarchy. Everything he did was unprecedented and even seemed deviant, at least in this era. Absolutely enough Apostasy.

Every major project he did was to challenge the limits of the Great Qin Empire.

Objectively speaking, just one of the major projects carried out by Emperor Shihuang at the same time is enough for a dynasty to be powerless to distract.

But the first emperor was able to come together, and he was able to repeatedly jump horizontally under extreme conditions.

The Qin State under him is always running crazily under the limit load.

Of course, what's even more frightening is that Daqin, which is operating at its limit, may have hidden backup energy.

But the first emperor was 50 years old, and he was no longer the age when he had an idea and desperately wanted to realize it.

Not to mention conquering the world, it may take ten years or even decades for Daqin to step out of the four poles.

The First Emperor restrained his thoughts, and continued to ask Zhao Si some professional questions.

"Population? I don't know the population." Zhao Si replied seriously.

"Technical equipment? It seems that it is not very sophisticated... I didn't pay much attention to it."

"Army? I haven't fought against them. I have fought against the natives. The fighting power is average..."

"Grain production? It shouldn't be much different from Daqin's."

"Sea ship? The technology should be similar to that of Qidi, and sailing across the sea should not be possible."

"Copper mine? There should be, I don't know where it is."

The answer that Shi Huang received in the end was relatively general.

Zhao Si either didn't know what to ask, or didn't know for sure.

After asking for a long time, he was stunned because he didn't know what Daqin could earn by going to sea.

However, according to Zhao Si, the rest of the region does not have the ability to sail across the sea for the time being, and Daqin has a certain degree of initiative.

Then, what can you get?
Domination of the world is of course wishful thinking, but knowing the vast world beyond the four poles, and the fact that Daqin is not weak, and Daqin holds the initiative, I always feel uncomfortable doing nothing.

To put it bluntly, even though Zhao Si has the experience of traveling around the world, there is still not much useful information that can give the first emperor, and even the information that the first emperor cares about Zhao Si does not know.

Of course, Zhao Si will not be free to learn about the population, politics and economy of various places, and he is not an envoy of the Great Qin Dynasty.

Under Zhao Si's candid answer, the First Emperor took the initiative to end the chat. If he wanted to know more about the Greater Kyushu, he might have to send another fleet with professionals.

These things have to wait for Zou Feng to come to Xianyang. The other families and factions may have different opinions on going to sea, but the Yinyang family will definitely cry for their parents and rush to go.
