The videos I watched became popular in ancient times

Chapter 185 Let’s go! Heading to Australia!

After the video on the imperial examination system and civil service system is played, the ancient people from each dynasty will go and do their own thing.

But what surprised everyone was that the curtain did not go out, but Journey to the West was played.

This incident made ancient people from all dynasties full of doubts and didn't know what was going on.

According to the past situation, after the relevant videos were played in the morning, there was no movement on the sky screen, and Journey to the West would not be played until the afternoon.

The reason why Journey to the West was played so early today was because Su Chen was thinking that there were only a few episodes left of Journey to the West, so he simply played all the remaining episodes today so that he could watch other movies and TV series for everyone tomorrow afternoon.

The happiest people were the children from all dynasties, who were all shouting with excitement.

Just now they were studying the Three-Character Sutra with Tianmu, scratching their heads and ears from time to time, and all of them were in low spirits.

But now as soon as Journey to the West is played, they immediately become energized and overjoyed.

They don't like studying and get sleepy when they study. If their parents hadn't forced them to study, they would have dozed off while reciting the Three Character Sutra just now.

They like Brother Monkey. As soon as Brother Monkey comes out, they become energetic.

As for adults from various dynasties, if they are not busy, they will watch Journey to the West with their children at home.

But if you have work at hand and don’t have time, you can go about your own business.

The emperors of various dynasties naturally did not have free time to read Journey to the West. They were already busy with mineral deposits, and now they were busy with the reform of the imperial examination, so they had no time to relax.

Great Qin.

Ying Zheng glanced at Journey to the West for a few times. After seeing that there was no important information, he turned around and went to the ministers to discuss the political affairs of the imperial examination system.

Now that they know about the imperial examination and civil service examination, Daqin naturally has to formulate its own talent selection system.

After Ying Zheng summoned several of his close friends, they began to discuss it.

Before a few words of discussion, the ministers present were arguing extremely fiercely.

Looking at this posture, if Ying Zheng hadn't been there, they might have started fighting.

The establishment of the imperial examination system belonging to the Qin Dynasty is no small matter. It will inevitably have a profound impact on the official structure of the Qin Dynasty in the future, and even this matter will leave its name in the history books.

Precisely because it was so important, everyone argued hard and wanted to play an important role in this matter so that they could leave their name in history.

Ying Zheng just quietly watched the verbal exchanges between the ministers below without interfering, with countless thoughts in his mind.

He also had some ideas in mind when formulating Da Qin's imperial examination system and had a rough framework.

But this framework is not yet complete and requires brainstorming from ministers.

I don’t know how long this argument lasted, and I don’t know when it ended. Even Ying Zheng couldn’t help but get angry.

Just when Ying Zheng was about to get angry, a young eunuch hurried in with a walkie-talkie in both hands.

Young eunuch: Your Majesty, there is a situation in Xiangshui County.

When Ying Zheng heard this, his expression changed slightly and he immediately grabbed the walkie-talkie.

He sent people to Xiangshui County to explore the mineral deposits. After such a long time, he finally got some news.

Ying Zheng: What is the situation in Xiangshui County? Is there any result?
  Caller: Your Majesty, after investigation, it is found that the two iron mines and one copper mine are extremely difficult to mine. However, the silver mine in Xiangshui County is not deep from the ground and can be mined on a large scale.

Hearing that the silver mine could be mined, Ying Zheng took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement.

Xiangshui County is not far from Xianyang. When he learned that there were four mines in Xiangshui County, he immediately sent people to investigate the situation.

Fortunately, God favored Daqin, and the most important silver mine among the four mines could be mined.

Ying Zheng: OK! good! good!

Ying Zheng said three good words in a row, which shows how excited he is.

That's a silver mine. The ore is dug out and smelted into silver, which can be used directly as money.

His Da Qin is now short of money and needs a huge amount of money to promote Da Qin's education.

He wants every county in Daqin to have a school, and he wants every child in Daqin to go to school.

To realize his ambitious wish, a huge amount of money is needed.

Now, as long as he sends a large number of miners to mine silver mines, his ambition will take a big step forward.

The ministers present also heard the content of the walkie-talkie and learned that there was a silver mine that could be mined. Every minister's face was full of smiles.

They knew what this meant. Once Da Qin had money, the country would be able to do more major things.

For example, the imperial examination system that was being discussed intensely just now, the treasury is full, and it will be easier to promote the imperial examination system in Da Qin.

Ying Zheng: Li Si, immediately organize a large number of manpower to mine silver mines in Xiangshui County. The sooner the better. Da Qin has too many places to use silver, and I don’t want to delay it for a moment.

Li Si: Your Majesty, I am already summoning the people. It is estimated that we will be able to arrive at Xiangshui County in less than three days.

When Ying Zheng heard this, he nodded with satisfaction. Li Si always made him feel at ease when doing things.

Before he even gave the order, Li Si was already preparing in advance. Such a clever minister made him worry a lot.

Ying Zheng: Just one silver mine is not enough. I have to mine many mines to fill the national treasury with mountains of gold and silver. The current exploration speed is not enough. You need to send more manpower to explore the mineral deposits across the country.

Li Si: Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will go down immediately to make arrangements.

Li Si was about to turn around and leave when Ying Zheng suddenly remembered something and stopped Li Si in time.

Ying Zheng: The exploration of domestic mineral deposits must be completed as soon as possible. Similarly, overseas exploration must not be left behind, especially Australia.

The anchor made it very clear that Australia and the United States are two unclaimed lands, full of treasures, and the sooner they are captured, the better.

He had seen the geographical location of the United States and felt that with Da Qin's current navigation capabilities, it would be impossible to cross the Pacific to reach the United States.

But Australia is not far from Daqin, so there is no problem in building large ships and sailing to Australia.

Li Si: Your Majesty, with the current situation of Da Qin's ships, it is impossible to sail to Australia unless larger ships are built. However, building large ships takes time and cannot be completed overnight.

Ying Zheng: I know, then build large ships. No matter how long it takes, I am willing to wait.

Australia is a fertile land larger than the Qin Dynasty, and it is impossible for him to give up.

While exploring mineral deposits in the country, you can also build large ships, and there is no conflict between the two.

Moreover, with the exploitation and utilization of domestic mineral resources, Da Qin's national power will become stronger and stronger, thus accelerating the pace of its overseas expansion.

Great Song.

A medium-sized merchant ship was docked at the Zhoushan Port pier. Thousands of people gathered at the pier. The scene was lively and full of laughter and laughter.

The sea in the distance is calm, the cloudless sky is exceptionally blue, and a group of seagulls are flying freely on the sea level. The reason why people all over the city gathered at the dock is because Yang Lin, the second master of the Yang family, will lead a team to go to sea today, and everyone comes to watch the excitement.

Everyone present knew why the second master of the Yang family, Yang Lin, went to sea.

The news that the head of the Yang family, Yang Fa, had snatched the world map last night had already spread throughout the city. The matter was causing quite a stir and it was impossible to hide it.

With the world map in hand, the people present knew exactly what it meant.

Everyone present knew that the world map was a treasure map, which recorded treasures all over the world.

Like gold mines, silver mines, iron mines, copper mines, there are so many of them, they are countless.

It's hard not to get rich after getting a map of the world, and it's the kind of wealth that can rival other countries.

Everyone knows very well that with the world map in hand, being as wealthy as a country is not just a description, but a truly wealthy country.

The Yang family was originally the largest maritime merchant in the Song Dynasty and a well-known family.

Now that the Yang family has obtained the world map again, it is conceivable that the Yang family has an opportunity to soar into the sky.

If the Yang family goes out to sea and digs any gold mine, the Yang family can take off and become one of the largest families in the Song Dynasty.

It is a well-known secret that the second master of the Yang family went out to sea to prospect for minerals, but we don’t know what the Yang family’s goal is for this time.

Regarding the Yang family's trip to the sea, people in the city were discussing it lively, and the docks were noisy.

Liu Yuanwai: The Yang family is in great trouble this time! Being able to witness the Yang family's meteoric rise, today is not in vain.

Shopkeeper Ma: I have to say that the Yang family is really lucky. They were able to grab such a hard-to-grab world map. Why am I not so lucky? I get angry just thinking about it.

Zhang Xiucai: The Yang family was originally a wealthy family. Now that we have the world map in hand, over time, the Yang family will definitely become the most prominent family in the Song Dynasty.

Uncle Li: I don’t know which gold mine the second master of the Yang family has set his sights on, so he went to sea in such a hurry, as if he was afraid that someone else would get there first.

Mrs. Wang: Seeing that the Yang family is so anxious, I guess that the Yang family's target this time is Australia. I heard the anchor said that Australia is full of gold. The important thing is that there is no one there. I guess the Yang family is going to occupy Australia.

Capt. Zhao: The Yang family shouldn't be that stupid. Australia is a piece of fat that the Yang family can't touch. I heard that the official family is already organizing manpower to prepare for a large-scale trip to Australia.

No matter what the people around them said, everyone in the Yang family ignored it and instead saw off Mr. Yang.

The merchant ship ready to set sail docked at the dock. Yang Fa led all the Yang family members to the dock to say goodbye to Yang Lin.

Yang Fa looked at his second brother in front of him, and then at the sea in the distance, feeling filled with emotion.

Logically speaking, the second brother is going to Indonesia to explore silver mines this time, so he should be happy. After all, the opportunity for the Yang family to rise is right in front of him.

But for some reason, seeing his second brother going to sea, he felt a little sad for a moment.

Yang Lin: Brother, it’s a good thing that I’m going to sea this time. Be happy and don’t frown.

Yang Fa quickly cheered up and his mood was high. The second brother was right. The second brother's trip to the sea heralded the rise of the Yang family. He was too late to be happy. Indeed, he shouldn't be sad.

Yang Fa: Second brother, the hope for the rise of the Yang family is in your hands. The eldest brother is waiting for your good news.

Yang Lin: Brother, don’t worry, I will be back with good news.

After saying goodbye, Yang Lin led a large group of crew members to board the ship one after another.

Witnessed by the people in the city, the ship slowly set sail and headed into the distance.

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Di and his ministers of civil and military affairs rushed to Tianjin Port overnight to see off Zheng He who was about to set sail for Australia.

After grabbing the world map last night, Zhu Di convened the ministers overnight to discuss the political affairs of occupying Australia.

According to the anchor, Australia is simply a land of unoccupied treasures.

It is suitable for agricultural cultivation and is rich in mineral resources. There are a large number of various gold, silver, copper and iron ores, and it is easy to dig. More importantly, this land is larger than the Ming Dynasty and is uninhabited.

Such a perfect place, he immediately thought of occupying it.

So, after discussing with the ministers last night, it was decided to send Han Wang Zhu Gaoxi and Zheng He to lead a team to Australia.

Although Australia was uninhabited, in order to ensure the smooth occupation of Australia, he decided to let the second king of Han lead 10,000 soldiers to Australia.

Zheng He had sailed to the Western Ocean and was most familiar with maritime affairs. It was most suitable for Zheng He to assist the second son in Australia this time.

At this moment, the Tianjin Port can be described as a sea of ​​people. The civil and military ministers of the imperial court, the 10,000 soldiers who were preparing to set off, and the people of Tianjin who were watching the excitement from a distance all gathered here to see off the fleet that was about to set sail.

Zhu Di: Second brother, I entrust you with the important task of opening up and expanding our territory. Don’t let me down.

Zhu Gaoxi: Father, I will definitely live up to your expectations and successfully complete this mission.

Zhu Gaoxi was full of confidence in occupying Australia and was full of energy.

When he heard the anchor talking about the situation in Australia, he wished he could grow a pair of wings and fly to Australia and bring back all the gold and silver there.

Australia is not too far away from the Ming Dynasty, and with the world map in hand, and Zheng He who sailed to the Western Ocean by his side, it is not difficult to occupy Australia.

Zhu Di: During this trip, you should listen to Zheng He's advice more on the way. He knows more about navigation than you do.

Zhu Gaoxi: Father, don’t worry, my son and minister will know.

Zhu Di: Zheng He, please pay more attention to the King of Han on the road, and don't let him go his own way. It is important to set off to Australia this time to explore mineral resources, but it is equally important that you can return safely.

Zheng He: Your Majesty, please rest assured that the humble minister will definitely assist His Highness the King of Han to complete this mission.

Zhu Di was relieved when he saw this.

The reason why he couldn't wait to send his second son to Australia this time was because he was greedy for the gold and silver mountains in Australia.

There is another important reason, which is to prepare for the splitting of the earth and the sealing of the country.

He has three sons, the eldest Zhu Gaochi, the second Zhu Gaoxi, and the third Zhu Gaosui.

But as he grew older, the conflicts between the three brothers became more and more intense as they competed for the throne.

He was really worried that one day if he went there, the three brothers would kill each other immediately, which was the last thing he wanted to see.

Before, he had been troubled, not knowing how to prevent brothers from killing each other.

But now with the world map, he already had the perfect solution in mind.

Instead of the three brothers fighting back and forth, it is better to separate the three brothers. Anyway, the world is so big and there is plenty of territory.

And Australia is the territory he plans to entrust to his second son in the future.

He stood on the shore and watched silently as the swarms of ships headed toward Australia.
