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

Chapter 518 Zhao Si: I choose a win-win situation!

"Me?" Fusu was stunned for a moment, as if he wanted to refute, but he couldn't say anything.

He wanted to tell Zhao Si how the First Emperor really treated him, but as a father, he really couldn't expose his fragile emotions in front of his children.

"I still need to trouble my father to review today's memorial. I'll go find Wang Li and explain it myself." Upon seeing this, Zhao Si knew that the emotional barrier between Fusu and the First Emperor for more than ten years would not be resolved in a day. So there is no rush.

From Zhao Si's point of view...the father and son are really at odds with each other.

But if we really say that they don't have feelings for each other, that's not true.

At the very least, it was impossible for the First Emperor to kill his son like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it was also impossible for Fusu to wish for his father's death like Li Chengqian.

They have feelings for each other, but they both think that the other person has no feelings for them...

Zhao Si left on his own, leaving Fusu standing there, his eyes flickering, and he felt a little sour, but there was no one in the room. Even if there was someone, he was full of words and didn't know where to start. .

It has been twenty or thirty years, and many memories have been blurred. When I look back and think about it carefully, I can't remember many things. I don't know when the father-son relationship became like this.

When he entered, he saw Wang Jian lying on the rocking chair with his eyes closed and dozing off. A small gray-yellow native dog in his arms yawned and opened his eyes when he heard the sound.

You are a lonely person, and you cannot be ignorant.

"Your Highness, I dare not..."

Ji Zhou was frightened when he heard the sound...

Am I... a smart person? So you don't want me to learn?

bad! Could it be that His Highness the Grandson had no intention of letting me go back at all?
Ji Zhou began to regret that he had to ask this question.

"Aren't you worried that I will return to the Huns after learning..." Jizhu asked in a whisper.

So, what could the Xiongnu do to resist and defeat the powerful Qin?
No... I should say, how on earth did the Xiongnu survive and retain their vitality under such a powerful Qin?

Not to mention that Jizhu is unlikely to be hostile to Da Qin. Even if he is hostile to Da Qin, what is the use of recording a map of Xianyang?

"But...are you driving alone for convenience, or do you have other plans?" Zhao Si teased Ji Zhou.

There is no need to give permission to enter. After all, Mr. Wang Jian is still Zhao Si's teacher. Zhao Si often comes to Wang's house and goes there on his own as he knows the way around.

If outsiders are really allowed to attack outside Xianyang City, what difference does it make if there is a map or not? "Zhao Si said with a smile.

"Your Highness Taisun..." Wang Jian held his hands and moved in circles to stand up, but Zhao Si pushed him back.

Ji Zhou felt uncomfortable looking at Zhao Si's strange eyes, and an idea flashed in his mind.

But at the end of the dynasty, no matter how many passes or tall cities there are, they will be useless.

Or is it that from beginning to end, His Highness the Grandson never paid attention to the Xiongnu?

After all, he was the prince of the Huns, not a serious old Qin man. So he worked so hard to memorize the map of Xianyang... This matter is indeed a bit sensitive.

Ji Zhou followed his servants to place the carriages and horses, and Zhao Si went straight into the courtyard.

A question emerged in Jizhu's mind, and began to trouble the still young Jizhu. As a result, Jizhu became a little distracted while driving, and almost overturned the car several times and took the wrong road.

"You are really thoughtful... you can memorize the roads of Xianyang City in such a short time." Zhao Si smiled.

Ji Zhou drove Zhao Si towards Wang Li's mansion.

Fortunately, we arrived at the Wang family's mansion smoothly.

For Da Qin, shouldn't it be that the more mediocre and incompetent his future Xiongnu Chanyu is, the better?

What's the point?
I am the prince of the Huns, the future Chanyu of the Huns.

Zhao Si's words of advice sounded like strong confidence in Ji Zhou's ears. Likewise, Ji Zhou was puzzled.

There are so many cities in the Central Plains that people admire and admire. The Great Wall has been built again and again, and passes have been built again and again. There are many great passes that are difficult to cross by manpower.

"Do you know the way to Wang Li's house?" Because he was thinking about how to ease the father-son relationship between the First Emperor and Fusu on the way, Zhao Si was so distracted that he did not have time to give Ji Zhou directions at the first time.

"Worried that you will use these things to deal with Da Qin when you return?" Zhao Si looked at Jizhu with a half-smiling look.

"You have to stay by Gu's side in the future. Gu will not guard against you. Be it classics, memories, or even the art of war, you can go ahead and learn it...

"Don't worry, I won't imprison you in Xianyang... The reason why I don't prevent you from learning is because I think you are a smart person. As for other reasons, you will slowly know it yourself in the future." Zhao Si seemed to see through it. Jizhu's thoughts and answers made Jizhu confused for a moment.

The damn arrogance made Jizhu feel a little stubborn in his heart, but thinking of the strength of the Qin Dynasty, the young Jizhu couldn't find any reason for the Xiongnu's victory.

Seeing that it was Zhao Si, because of the raw jade halo, the little native dog jumped off Wang Jian in a hurry and came to Zhao Si, and circled around Zhao Si's legs.

Although Jizhu didn't have any other plans, just to complete his job better, when Zhao Si said it, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Okay, okay... I'm just joking. If you want to drive for me, you should be familiar with the roads in Xianyang. Don't say you don't have this intention, even if you do, so what?

"During this period, I have been following the palace to identify the roads in private and checking the map of Xianyang City. I have memorized most of the roads in Xianyang City." Jizhu replied while driving.

After regaining his composure, Ji Zhou had already turned several corners and passed several forks in the road, but he was on the right track.

Barbarians are not good at attacking cities. Some people can use a dilapidated small city to prevent hundreds of thousands of barbarians from advancing.

I won’t be so strict on guarding against you. "Zhao Si shook his head and laughed.

There are people guarding Xiongguan, and it is not unusual for the pass to be breached in three to five days.

In the final analysis, the fundamentals are still broken. It’s not that the opponent is too strong, but that I am too bad.

The movement of the little local dog woke up Wang Jian. Wang Jian reluctantly opened his eyes. It took a while for his cloudy eyes to focus on Zhao Si.

"Teacher, why are you so...we are all so familiar." Zhao Si squatted helplessly next to Wang Jian.

"His Royal Highness Taisun is in charge of the country. He is so busy, why are you here?" Wang Jian got off the donkey along the slope and asked with squinted eyes.

"I'm here to see Wang Li..." Zhao Si said.

"Wang Li? Where is Wang Li? Go and call him out..." Wang Jian heard the voice and ordered his servants.

"It's coming! It's coming, it's coming!" Before anyone could report, Wang Li trotted up to Zhao Si.

"How come your Highness is free to look for you?" Wang Li smiled and came over and bowed.

"But there is a place where you are useful." Zhao Si said.

"Your Highness, it's okay to say so!" Wang Li said.

Young people are always so turbulent and have the shadow of their parents. It would be false to say that Wang Li does not want to start a career.

With the passage of time, the status of his friends has increased, and he has been directly imprisoned without paying attention. It is naturally impossible that Wang Li has no idea in his mind.

"You must have heard about the Peacock Kingdom, right?" Zhao Si asked.

"Of course I know that His Highness wants to start a war with the Peacock Kingdom?" Wang Li's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands. Not to mention that the Great Qin army was a bunch of war madmen, even Wang Li, a middle-aged man, was quite excited when he heard about the war.

"Do you have the ability to raise troops across the sea?" Wang Jian glanced at the slightly excited Wang Li and struck him mercilessly.

The light in Wang Li's eyes dimmed by the way, and then he muttered: "This...I...that...I really don't know much about maritime affairs."

"Not only do you not know much about maritime affairs? Could it be that you also know about military matters?" Wang Jian showed no mercy to his grandson.

"What the teacher said...is from a general family." Zhao Si smiled.

"My own grandson knows that he can barely maintain his strength, and he can win or lose against ordinary people. But if he faces a first-rate famous general, this kid will probably make mistakes. As for raising troops across the sea, he has never been exposed to it. In naval battles, this kid really doesn't have the ability. With his ability, he can stand up to the sky and become a partial general. This is because this kid is obedient and will not give orders randomly. With my remaining aura, most people will give him Face..." Wang Jian opened the wound again without mercy.

"Alas...the teacher really misunderstood." Zhao Si shook his head.

"That's it. I plan to let Marquis Huaili supervise this war." Zhao Si explained.

"Li Xin... That's good. He is the only one in the Qin Dynasty who has the experience of leading troops at sea." Wang Jian changed his mind when he heard that he was not asking his grandson to lead troops on an expedition.

Are you kidding me? Why are you so motivated?
You are already the grandson of Marquis Che, and you are destined to inherit the title of Marquis Che.

As the top three generations of Great Qin... Wang Li doesn't need to work hard or start a business.

As long as they just follow the gold plating and go about their lives honestly, the Wang family will be able to remain standing.

Leading troops and commanding a side? The greater the responsibility, the greater the risk, especially since Wang Li's own abilities are indeed insufficient.

At this point, returns are no longer important, what is important is risk avoidance.

"Yes, that's what Guzheng thought. It's just that overseas communication is really difficult. It takes several months to go back and forth. It's too wasteful to mobilize troops... It's difficult for the court to make temporary decisions, so besides that , we also need someone whom we can trust to supervise the army..." Zhao Si said.

"Warlord?" Wang Jian frowned and looked at Wang Li, who looked expectant, with a bit of contemplation in his eyes.

"Well... there are very few people who are qualified to supervise Huailihou, and even fewer who can trust him." Zhao Si said.

"Is this a must-fight?" Wang Jian tapped his fingers slowly.

"The Peacock Kingdom is thousands of miles away. Even if something is gained, the loot brought back may not be worth the traveling expenses back and forth..." Wang Jian said.

"Actually...it's not that we have to fight." Zhao Si shook his head upon hearing this.

"The main purpose of Gu is to establish trade channels with the Peacock Kingdom. From this point of view, going to war is not a wise choice. If you win, you will not gain much land or gains...

The King of Giant Chariots is arrogant, but there is no necessary conflict between the Peacock Kingdom and the Qin Dynasty.

To be honest with you, teacher, in fact, in my opinion, with the nature of the giant chariot king, if Da Qin is willing to stay humble and be small, it may not necessarily need to go to war. "Zhao Si said.

As long as there is no inevitable conflict between the two, establishing trade connectivity is actually a mutually beneficial good thing.

From the standpoint of a qualified political creature, going to war is definitely the most unwise choice.

With the brainless nature of the giant car king, Da Qin Da can stay humble and act small, which is not a shame.

In fact, in the era of maritime trade, foreigners adopted this approach when establishing trade with Japan and the Qing Dynasty.

Regardless of whether it is embarrassing or not, as long as trade channels can be successfully opened, it is much more cost-effective to be embarrassed than to go to war.

In order to expand trade with Japan, the Spanish even knelt down and worshiped the Japanese, playing clowns to please the Japanese nobles.

but!

Whether Asan has trade reputation or not is one thing.

After traveling through time, and having to suffer this kind of grievance, wouldn’t it be a waste of time?

Zhao Si wants money, and face, too.

No trade? Then hit you trade!
Anyway, the battlefield is in the Peacock Kingdom, and Da Qin can cease the war at any time.

By then, the Qin Dynasty would have consumed food, grass, gold and silver, and the Peacock Kingdom would have been devastated.

Moreover, Zhao Si's purpose was not just to establish trade.

Cultural influence and dissemination are also top priorities.

The Maurya Kingdom is considered the mainstream civilization of India. If Da Qin wants to spread culture strongly, it must obtain the same status as the Maurya Kingdom.

Even, have a fight.

Cultural dissemination does not rely on a few books, a few clothes, and some etiquette.

That has to be done with fists.

The underlying logic of this world is actually very simple.

The curtain is strong!

The better you are at fighting, the easier it will be for culture to spread.

The first step in cultural dissemination is always to have strong martial ethics.

Only muscles or only culture are both clowns. If both come together, you are the real king.

"Then why does Your Highness do such a thankless thing?" Wang Jian asked.

"There are a lot of things that Gu has to do next... On the one hand, it is because Gu wants to open trade channels, and on the other hand, it is also to pave the way for the next step." Zhao Si said.

Conflict transfer...

Reform is about actively intensifying contradictions and releasing them before they are brewing to the point of destruction.

In other words, the following fierce struggle is inevitable, from culture to thought to academic...

In this case, opening an external battlefield to shift conflicts is a good choice.

"I understand..." Wang Jian nodded.

How old has Wang Jian lived? How come he doesn't understand the operation of transferring conflicts?
For this reason, it was naturally impossible for Wang Jian to tie up his grandson and prevent him from going out.

They have all chosen Zhao Si, and Wang Jian has become Zhao Si’s teacher. We should support him when we should.

"I'm afraid... I ran a little far now." Wang Jian looked at Wang Li faintly.

"Father agrees?" Wang Li was excited when he heard this.

"Can a minister refuse an appointment from your Majesty?" Wang Jian shook his head and laughed.

My good grandson is going overseas now. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back in a few years.

I just don’t know if I, with my old body, can wait until my dear grandson returns home in triumph.
