Daqin: A buff of incredible comprehension

Chapter 209 "Old Wang...Old Lin."

During Master Qin Mo's duel, someone soared aboard one of these flying props, leaving a lasting impression on many. While their designs have evolved significantly, they still resemble bird-like designs. The over 200 kites at this exhibition also sparked great interest, with people reluctant to leave, absorbed in the spectacle.

The First Emperor said in a low voice with a gloomy face, "Let the rocket soldiers and the flying kite phalanx march again."

After receiving the reply, he also seemed quite uncomfortable: "There will never be such a situation in the future. Everything you want to see will be realized in a few years. The prosperous era will surely come as you wish."

Watching the team disappear, ** quickly agreed, "Yes."

Fusu noticed that he was in a bad mood, and followed him to comfort him, saying: "It is indeed not easy to prepare in a hurry today, but it does not mean your fault." He then quoted the theory of geometric growth to describe that there will be more firepower in the near future, "The next big performance will definitely overwhelm the people."

** smiled slightly: "Ten thousand gates are not enough? I promised Your Majesty that a hundred thousand gates would be no problem."

The two of them continued forward, "Your Highness, please follow me to watch the live ammunition

The entire ceremony lasted more than two hours.

After the ceremony, the Emperor of Qin, along with his entourage and officials, went to the suburbs to watch the weapons drill. Guests from the six former states naturally did not want to miss this spectacle, and some people who enjoyed the excitement also followed behind, hoping to see the charm of the new weapons.

boom! boom! boom!

The only ten operational artillery pieces fired in quick succession. The heavy projectiles slammed into the mountains, stirring up clouds of smoke and debris, and causing the earth to shake slightly. Then, over two hundred flying machines took to the skies, blocking out the sun. Everyone was filled with shock and awe.

For the descendants of the once-dominant princes, this power was beyond their imagination. The strength of Qin completely destroyed their confidence, and even the most determined opponents had to admit that defeat was inevitable.

a few days later.

The long-silent North Garden was revitalized. A large group of people dressed as craftsmen came to the door and looked in.

"What are you still standing there for? Master Chen is waiting for everyone."

Mr. Bai, who had not appeared for a long time, had become much rounder and had regained his former immortal appearance.

"This is no longer a royal forbidden area. We have received permission from His Majesty to temporarily use it as an office for the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Lao He said this with pride, while the other craftsmen scoffed.

As his status rose, he began to lecture people:

"You were once humble craftsmen, now you have been granted official titles. How can you be compared to me? I am now the Minister of the Imperial Household. Do not look down on me in the future."

Although people didn't like He's attitude, no one dared to refute him because of their different positions.

Tian Zhou also disliked these two people, but they were indeed capable, so he had to cooperate with them.

When the time came to reward the officials, the deer and crane behaved with unusual respect, as if they had grown accustomed to their new status. A group of plump women were sorting out official uniforms, seals, and other belongings.

"Is everyone here? Please take a seat."

Maids in gorgeous clothes set up the seats, and everyone took their seats. The older woman seemed to be a concubine of Qin Shi Huang, so this arrangement seemed a bit presumptuous.

However, the person in charge explained: "These are all helpless people who were dismissed by the court and are temporarily doing odd jobs here."

The young craftsmen were somewhat disappointed by this - they had thought they would encounter more **. But now with the opportunity to be promoted to an official position, who would care about these things?

The crane and the deer exchanged glances, wondering what kind of picture could attract the emperor's attention?

Behind all this lies the achievement of a mysterious man who not only drew the map but also promised to build a new palace for the Qin Emperor to accommodate all the kingdoms of the world.

The Qin Emperor was eager to see results and kept sending people to ask. Finally, the mysterious figure submitted a rough map, which still made the Qin Emperor overjoyed.

“Can this map show that Mobei is connected to America?”

"Your Majesty, this map is only a very small miniature. In reality, there is a strait several dozen miles wide in the middle."

"but……"

"The environment in Mobei is extremely harsh and almost unsuitable for survival."

---

The Qin Emperor's curiosity was aroused, while the mysterious cartographer still stood at the top position and enjoyed the envy and awe of others.

You've been the Shaofu for a few months and you think you can sit back and relax?

You can never reach his level.

He not only had the trust of the Qin Emperor, but also controlled unprecedented power.

Such a person should have been dead long ago, but he is still alive and well. How did he do that?

This vanguard force not only has to deal with extreme climatic conditions, but also may face sudden attacks from nomadic tribes. After arriving in the New World, local tribes often have primitive and bloody customs of human sacrifice. The invasion of outsiders may cause...

This calm analysis was like a bucket of cold water poured on the monarch's heart.

“Is there no other solution?”

"Your Majesty can order the shipbuilders to quickly build giant warships and lead the army directly to the New World when the weather warms up."

"Humph!"

“How can those natives stop us?”

Although the monarch still had doubts, he had longed to conquer this unknown land. Knowing that the New World was so close, his desire became even stronger.

"I think so too, but building a giant ship will take time."

"Not to mention that the sea voyage is long, and expeditionary forces are different from land marches, so the demand for supplies and equipment is huge."

"More importantly... the soldiers of the Qin army can't just go into battle with swords, right?" He paused and continued, "Using advanced weaponry to conquer them in one fell swoop is the only way to ensure success."

"If we act rashly, the result may be counterproductive," the counselor advised calmly.

The monarch gradually calmed down. Indeed, the necessary firearms for the expedition weren't yet fully prepared; hasty action would only lead to failure and ridicule. He expressed his satisfaction with his confidant and discussed the specifics of the plan. "These ships and weapons should be ready by the end of this year."

"Also, regarding this island..."

Rest your finger on a spot on the map.

"What island is this? Are there any indigenous tribes on it?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Your Majesty, this is Ryukyu. Many indigenous peoples do inhabit the islands." He gave a brief introduction to the Ryukyuans. This historical background dates back to the Han Dynasty, when Ryukyu was still in its primitive stages of development. Later, with the development of maritime trade, exchanges between the two countries gradually took place. However, knowing that Ying Zheng would not be interested in this, he did not elaborate on the historical details.

"I see." He then pointed to another vast island and asked if it was Oceania. The counselor briefly described the location and potential resources there, even mentioning that Europe was not far away.

Presented with this detailed map, the emperor asked questions and listened attentively to the responses. It was clear he desired to claim every known land. "My palace was planned according to a global map. The cost of digging lakes and seas and piling up mountains to mimic Earth's topography is enormous. For long-term considerations, it would be wise to open it to the people of Xianyang as a park."

This idea could not only inspire the people's aspirations, but also satisfy the emperor's ambitions to a certain extent. After careful consideration, it was finally decided to build a new royal park according to this idea. Although Ying Zheng was reluctant to share this achievement, he had to reluctantly give it up for the sake of the overall situation. He then turned to the management of the inner court and appointed counselors to be responsible for the relevant arrangements. Since he no longer had any attachment to the previous palace, he directly handed over full authority to deal with the problems of Beiban Palace, including the concubines left in the palace by the six countries and the unattended palaces. As for the progress of the construction of the large ships to explore the new world and the departure and return dates, he received patient and detailed answers. All this made the monarch realize the vastness of the world, and made him want to travel around the world: "It turns out that there are so many places in the world that I haven't seen!"——

When ** was in a semi-trance, he heard the urgent shouts of the eunuchs on both sides. "My lord!"

Chen Fuling seemed to be distracted by something and remained silent, which made the long-awaited Crane Immortal and Deer Immortal extremely anxious. "Sir!" Crane Immortal said anxiously, "Isn't today the day for the seals and uniforms to be awarded?"

Suddenly, ** regained consciousness and sternly drove the two away: "Stop squeezing me and giving me a headache!" The two officials hurriedly retreated respectfully.

Afterwards, the emperor laid out the roster and prepared to begin the process of assigning new court officials. Everyone gazed at the record with bated breath, as this roster would determine their future status and development direction.

"Liu Changzhi." ** sang the first name, "A native of Shaxi Township, Ji County, Guangyang Commandery. In the 32nd year of the First Emperor's reign, he was freed from serfdom and joined the construction team."

When he saw Liu Changzhi's name, he frowned, thinking it was a bit odd to be listed first. Then he realized his assistant had made a mistake and had reversed the order. "Who is he? Come out and let me see him."

Liu Changzhi was standing awkwardly behind Lu Xianweng at the moment, and answered with a stiff upper lip, "It is me."

"Your name is Lu Xianweng? But your real name is Liu Changzhi?!"

** was quite surprised that he used a nickname instead of a common name. But after learning about the situation, ** happily accepted the arrangement. "Oh, it seems you also want to give yourself an elegant name."

As the ceremony progressed, each official accepted his fate with excitement and expectation, and at the same time became more determined to follow the king.

Lin Daoren from Beifeng and Wang Dali from Beifeng have very different reputations.

Qin Yushan directed him to run around every day, supervising the experimentation with glass and soap formulas. After improving the production process using materials and technology provided by the imperial court, they directly acquired the mature technology and opened a workshop at home.

Wang Dali has made outstanding contributions and ranks first, which is well deserved.

"Old Wang...Old Lin."

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs' achievements today are all due to your efforts!"

"This book of merit is full of your name." ** opened the book and showed it to Wang Dali.

"It is my duty to be loyal to the court, and I do not deserve your praise."

"What are you calling a villain?"

"Practice for many years without anyone paying attention, but once you become an official, you will be famous throughout the world."
