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

Chapter 48 I'm Like My Grandpa Today
The conversation with Zhao Si gave Shi Huang a feeling that he was in the same place as a whole.

After all, Zhao Si is not a professional, he is just a modern person with some sea navigation experience, not a professional geographer, nor a qualified politician.

Zhao Si just opened a door to a new world for the first emperor, but Zhao Si himself didn't know what was inside the door. He was not a professional historian, so it was impossible for him to talk eloquently about the world of this era.

If Daqin wants to understand the world, he still needs to continue to explore, and needs to send out a more comprehensive and professional fleet.

It is necessary to send Daqin official envoys to establish contact with the world, so that we can have a more comprehensive understanding of how many countries there are in this world, what kind of regime structure these countries have, how many people, how many industries, and how many technologies are there. Only in this way can we evaluate Come out, whether Daqin can gain benefits at sea, and whether Daqin Kaihai can be the direction of the future.

As for inventions such as salt making and the specific planting methods of the three new grains, Emperor Shi Huang didn't ask much.

It's not that it's unimportant, but that Zhao Si's tenderness can be clearly felt in the conversation between Shi Huangdi and Zhao Si.

Zhao Si's political literacy is in a relatively barren state. In other words, the current Zhao Si does not have the ability to summarize and report in detail. What the Emperor Shihuang wants to hear will be very fragmented and miscellaneous when he talks about it. Yes, Zhao Si's ability to report work is still far behind.

This is normal, Zhao Si is a normal person.

The focus of conversation understood by normal people and the focus of conversation understood by politicians are completely different concepts.

Zhao Si crossed over and was on the ship, how long has it been since he returned?How is it possible to have political literacy?Just kidding, Zhao Si has never been a squad leader, the biggest official he has ever been is a labor committee member.

The First Emperor threw the question to Wang Ben. As the top person in charge of Lantian, Wang Ben was naturally obliged and capable of summarizing Zhao Si's affairs.

And Wang Ben also took up this question. He has prepared a series of documents and records, from the breeding method of sweet potatoes and potatoes to the cost of the sun-salt method. , how much salt is produced.

Of course, there are also some small inventions that Zhao Si obtained from Wang Li's army craftsmen, the specific process, who made them, and the blueprints...all are backed up.

Obviously, Wang Ben, the old father, was heartbroken for Wang Li.

These things should have been done by Wang Li. Wang Li did not do it, but he did not do it in detail. Some things Wang Li did not write at all. Now such a detailed report summary is all added by Wang Ben himself.

Zhao Gao loaded stacks of bamboo slips onto Shi Huangdi's auxiliary car. It was indeed inconvenient to write on bamboo slips in this day and age, as long as there were more words, and as long as the report was detailed, one bamboo slip would not be enough.

It is not nonsense that the first emperor reviewed more than 100 catties of bamboo slips a day. The reality is not like a TV series. Liao Liao, a local official, summed up the people's livelihood in a place with a few strokes.

There are so many things going on in the world, and the First Emperor must do everything himself, and someone as highly regarded as Zhao Si has produced a lot of things. After a comprehensive introduction, several bundles of bamboo tubes are a normal phenomenon.

"Do you still have spices like chili and cumin?" Shi Huang asked Zhao Si.

Today can be regarded as a feast for the first emperor, eating a small hot pot, eating a small barbecue, drinking a small wine, and Zhao Si telling stories beside him.

This also made Shi Huangdi, who was not a glutton, realize the delicacy of these overseas spices.

The first emperor was not a glutton, but losing his appetite for a long time was not a solution either.

Even Xia Wuqiu doesn't know how to take care of himself for a while, but it can't always be like this. If he can't keep eating, how can he maintain a healthy body?
If there are spices like chili and cumin, and I cook some small hot pot in the palace by myself, I will always have some appetite, and the body will get better if I can eat something.

"Yes, but not much left." Zhao Si said with a chuckle, Zhao Si didn't eat much before, because there was really no food, and it would be different if Wang Li, a big dog, was at the stall.

It can be said that Wang Li can get whatever he wants, and he can get whatever meat he wants.

The two of them had a chattering meal, and the chili and other spices left behind added up to about ten catties.

"Let me take some." The First Emperor said.

Zhao Si responded, but encountered difficulties when he went to get it.

How much is this to take?I only have a dozen catties left.

After much deliberation, Zhao Si simply kept about two catties of spices, and gave all the rest to Shi Huangdi.

Zhao Gao took the spices from Zhao Si and loaded them into the car.

"Most of them have already been planted in the ground, there are only so many here." Zhao Si said.

The First Emperor nodded, and did not open his mouth to reward Zhao Si, but signaled Wang Benyu to leave the military post where Zhao Si and Wang Li were in the same car.

Maybe he went straight back to the palace?Maybe talk to Wang Ben about something else?
Zhao Si didn't know either, he couldn't see it, and he had enough food and drink. After Shi Huangdi came, he drank a lot of wine, he was dizzy and sleepy, so he didn't bother to think about these things at the moment.

Wang Li, on the other hand, seemed quite excited at the moment, holding onto Zhao Si's with both hands and jumping up and down.

"What are you doing~~" Zhao Si was staggered by Wang Li, so he couldn't get out.

"Brother! Thanks to you!" Wang Li said excitedly, with a lively expression on his face.

"Hey! My father personally pours wine and meat for me!" Wang Li said with a smug smile on his face.

"Brother!"

"My father always beats and scolds me, he rarely has a good face!"

"Even among colleagues, they are quite solemn, there are few smiles, and all the subordinates are afraid of my father!"

"Not close to the people?" Zhao Si asked in a daze.

"Really close to the people?" Wang Li was stunned.

"I heard that when a famous general governs an army, they all share the same robes, sleep together, and eat together. Wu Qi is the soldier who allows creation, and the soldiers have the heart to fight and die." Zhao Si replied.

"My father is not like this. He has always been strict in running the army, and he is serious." Wang Li shook his head while talking.

"It's not about that, my father pours wine and cooks meat for me!" Wang Li was about to jump up excitedly.

"Hasn't this happened before?" Zhao Si asked.

"It's definitely not since I can remember." Wang Li said swearingly.

"That may be before you can remember, after all, it was your father." Zhao Si said.

"No! Not this one!" Wang Li spoke with a bit of a tongue.

"My father will only do this to the eldest father! Hey!"

The treatment he had never enjoyed before made Wang Li feel a little giddy. When Emperor Wang Benshi was around, Wang Li was like a humble little transparent person. Once the two of them left, Wang Li looked fresh and transparent.

"You mean to say that you are like your elder father today?" Zhao Si had several question marks on his face.

"Hey... hiccup..." Wang Li leaned against Zhao Si in a daze, and didn't speak, but there was still a smirk on his face.
