I felt a little regretful after leaving three people behind, but now I feel a little regretful.
If you don't want to kill it, how can you use it? How can I give an explanation to the world? Just kill them. All three of them are famous figures in history. It would be a pity to kill them.
Fortunately for Xiao He and Fan Kuai, at least they are not that famous now. Except for people in Peixian County, no one else knows them. Liu Bang is really a bit difficult for me to get off, but he is the emperor of the Han Dynasty. If I were given another chance, I would choose to keep him.
When Liu Bang saw me staring at him for a long time, he smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, can we talk alone?"
I nodded and waved, and Meng He led the two of them back into the house.
Liu Bang suddenly stood up and bowed: "Bang has put your Majesty in a difficult situation!"
He understood just after I told the public that he had been killed. Xiao He and the others can change their appearance, but they are the leaders of rebellion and cannot appear in front of the world again.
I waved my hand: "Sit down."
After Liu Bang sat down, I sighed helplessly: "The reason why I keep you is because you are a hero and a person of great significance to me."
Liu Bang was a little strange: "What do you mean by your Majesty's words? Bang raised an army to rebel, but failed. Fortunately, thanks to your majesty's kindness, he has survived to this day. How can he be called a hero?"
I shook my head. I couldn't tell him that it was he who overthrew the Qin Dynasty, established the Han Dynasty, and had a descendant, Emperor Wu of Han, who made the Han Dynasty the eternal title of the Han people.
"There are some things I can't tell you. Even if I tell you, you won't believe it. But you are right. I am in a difficult position."
Looking at the heroic Emperor Gaozu of Han in front of me, I was really moved. Historically, rumors spread that he was a ruffian and a gangster, but how could a gangster sacrifice his life and property for the sake of the garrison, how could he let so many famous people follow him, and how could he build a strong and powerful man with far-reaching reputation!
Liu Bang obviously knew my difficulties. He was silent for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, the reason why Bang raised the army was because the people were in dire straits and the court did not spare the efforts of the people. But I just heard about your majesty's achievements and learned that now the people are stable and the foreigners are in submission. , Bang is willing to continue to stay in this forbidden garden, I only hope that Da Qin can make the people well fed and clothed warmly."
I nodded approvingly. To be able to say these words is worthy of the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.
After thinking for a long time, I slowly said: "Liu Bang, I have an idea that allows you to do something for the people of the world, but you may not get the glory you deserve in your lifetime. You can consider it."
Liu Bang looked firm and solemnly said: "As long as it is beneficial to the people of the world, I will not hesitate to die! Your Majesty, just say it!"
I nodded and my face became serious: "Liu Bang, only you and I know what I am going to say next in the whole world. If it is leaked, it will cause turmoil in the world!"
Seeing how serious I was, Liu Bang became nervous and nodded heavily.
"Actually," I said slowly with a tight face, "the earth is a ball!"
Hearing this, Liu Bang's face melted like a river of spring water, his bright eyes turned into balls, his chin was about to fall to the ground, and he stammered with an extremely exaggerated expression of surprise: "Your Majesty, this, this is …”
I held back my smile and continued: "And there is land east of the East China Sea. The Penglai Fairy Mountain that those alchemists talked about is another piece of land."
Liu Bang couldn't turn around anymore and stared at me blankly.
I shouted into the room: "Paper and pen!"
Meng He immediately appeared from the room, put a pile of paper and pen on the desk, turned around and entered the room.
I looked at Liu Bang and said, "Before I talk, I want to tell you two concepts. Ocean refers to a huge body of water, like the East China Sea; continent refers to a huge landmass, like the Great Qin."
Then he picked up the pen and drew on the paper and said: "Look, here is the Qin Dynasty. To the west is the Hexi Corridor and the Western Regions. To the west are Kushan, Parthian, and many Roman countries. In the middle of Rome is a sea, surrounded by land. It can be called the Mediterranean."
"Further to the west is another sea, called the Atlantic Ocean; to the south is another sea, which I call Qinnan Ocean; to the north is another sea. Because it is cold and frozen all year round, it is called the Arctic Ocean. Among the four seas, this vast sea I call the area Qinzhou. It can be seen that Daqin only occupies a corner of Qinzhou. Although it is one of the most suitable corners for farming, the territory is still very small."
When Liu Bang heard this, he had some reaction and said in shock: "Your Majesty, Da Qin is surrounded by nine states and surrounded by the four seas. If we follow what Your Majesty said, wouldn't we be sitting in a well watching the sky?"
I nodded, shook my head, and said with a smile: "People don't know how big the world is, so how can they think that the present is different from the past? Besides, where is this?"
Liu Bang asked in surprise: "Could it be that there are other lands in the world?"
I continued to draw strokes and continued: "There is an unnamed land on the west side of the Atlantic Ocean. I call it Dongqinzhou. It is rich in many high-yielding crops, which are more than a hundred times more productive than the current corn and rice in Daqin. I Our goal is to get there as soon as possible and introduce those high-yielding crops to Daqin!"
When Liu Bang heard this, he didn't care about the products of America. Instead, he was a little curious about the naming of America. He asked doubtfully: "Your Majesty, this land is already in the extreme west of Da Qin. Why does your Majesty call it East Qinzhou?"
I smiled slightly, as expected of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and immediately grasped the key point: "Do you still remember what I just said at the beginning?"
Liu Bang thought about it and asked uncertainly: "Did His Majesty say that the earth is a ball?"
I nodded: "Continue westward from East Qinzhou and pass through the largest sea area, which is the East China Sea. After crossing the East China Sea, you will return to Daqin! East Qinzhou is to the east of Daqin. Isn't it right to call it East Qinzhou? Its name?"
Liu Bang opened his mouth so wide that he could stuff an egg into it, and said in astonishment: "Doesn't it mean that I can go back to Daqin after walking all the way from Daqin to the west?"
I smiled and said: "That's right. And it's not just westward, whether it's eastward or southward, as long as you can ensure that you are always walking in the same direction, no matter which direction you go out of Daqin, you can come back. Da Qin!"
Liu Bang's head was obviously not used enough anymore. He opened his mouth for a long time, and then he choked out one sentence: "The earth is a ball, why can we stand on the ball without falling?"
I put down the pen in my hand, rubbed my forehead, and said helplessly: "You will know this later. What I want to tell you is that I want you to go to East Qinzhou and bring back the products there!"
Only then did Liu Bang remember the high-yielding crops I was talking about. He thought about it for a long time and said cautiously: "What your Majesty said is not the elixir that the emperor asked the alchemist to find, right?"
I laughed and scolded: "What are you thinking! I'm talking about real food, not some elixir!"
Liu Bang hesitated for a while and then said: "Bang heard that when Xu Fu left, he took all the big ships with him. Did your Majesty build another big ship?"
I frowned. I really forgot about the disaster of Xu Fu. I shook my head and said, "Not yet. If you want to go to East Qinzhou, you have to build a ship first, and not ordinary ships can cross the East China Sea. So you need to make a lot of preparations in the early stage. , it will take ten or twenty years to prepare, or even longer is unknown!”
The conversation changed and I continued: "However, as long as we can find Xu Fu, we won't have to wait that long to deal with him!"
