Although it was drawn with a brush, the lines are slightly thicker, but they are clear at a glance. The five continents and seven oceans are similar to the real world map in terms of proportion and location.
“The painting looks very similar”
Cao Yi subconsciously praised.
A smile flashed across Ying Zheng's face, betraying himself.
This painting was actually painted by himself. The word "Xinde" was just to deceive Li Si, who was completely unaware.
"Your Majesty, this picture?"
Li Si looked confused.
As Prime Minister, he has assisted His Majesty for many years. He has seen countless maps, but he has never seen this map.
"This picture has a name, it's called Tianxia"
Ying Zheng emphasized the last two words very hard.
Li Si was shocked. He walked to the world map and looked at it for a while. He pointed at the Shandong Peninsula in later generations and said, "Is this the land of Qilu?"
Ying Zheng nodded.
Li Si pointed down to the Guangdong and Guangxi areas in later generations: "This is the Baiyue land that His Majesty sent Tu Ju with an army of 500,000 to capture not long ago?"
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and said nothing. Although this battle was won, it was a tragic victory. The reason was that the soldiers were not accustomed to the hot and humid land mentioned by the Taoist leader.
Li Si realized that he had mentioned His Majesty's pain point, and quickly slid his finger up to the north of the Great Wall, and then from east to west: "Donghu in the east is known as "two hundred thousand people who control strings", in the middle is the Huns, and the Chanyu is called Touman's military strength is comparable to that of Donghu, and to the west is the Yuezhi, who also has tens of thousands of string-controllers."
Ying Zheng frowned when he heard this. Having read history, he clearly remembered that in a few years, a generation of heroes, Mao Dun, would kill his father and establish himself, annexing Donghu to the east, severely damaging the Yuezhi to the west, and annexing many small tribes. Establish a powerful grassland country with more than 400,000 string-controlling people.
"Although Lu Sheng is dead, what he said is true. The Hu people rely on the sharp cavalry, come and go without a trace, and attack everywhere. They are really a trouble for our great Qin."
Li Si's tone was serious.
Over the years, he has received dozens of urgent reports from border areas every year. Either people have been kidnapped here, or cattle and sheep have been robbed there.
"We'll talk about the Hu people later. Look here."
Ying Zheng pointed his finger at Mexico in the central America of later generations.
Li Si looked across the Pacific Ocean of later generations to Mexico, and his blank look returned to his face.
"Here, there is a gift from one day called sweet potato. It can be grown on any land no matter how barren it is. The yield per acre is as high as several thousand kilograms. I want to send someone to get it back."
Ying Zheng stated his purpose of taking out this picture.
When Li Si heard that the grain yield per mu was thousands of kilograms, he shook his head subconsciously: "Impossible. How can there be thousands of kilograms of grain per mu in this world?"
After saying that, he remembered that it was His Majesty who was talking to him, and he quickly apologized: "It's not that I don't believe in Your Majesty, it's really unbelievable."
Ying Zheng smiled slightly and looked at Cao Yi: "Sir, Taoism has been established. Let's call him Taoist. The Taoist will tell the prime minister."
Cao Yi, who had been a spectator for a long time, clicked on Central and South America and said: "In addition to sweet potatoes, there are also corn and potatoes. The yield is lower, with an output of thousands of catties per mu."
Li Si's old face twitched, and he complained that the yield per kilo was lower. Wouldn't all the farmers in the world be embarrassed to death?
"It's just that although the gift from God is good, I am afraid that I will send someone to get it at this time."
Cao Yi is not very optimistic about Ying Zheng going to get it at this time.
You must know that the shipbuilding industry at this time was still very low-level and had no ability to cross seas and oceans.
"I have thought about it. There is no need to cross the ocean. I will send a fleet from here, then here, to North America, and then go south along the coast."
Yingzheng's finger crossed the Korean Peninsula, Honshu Island, Tsugaru Strait, Kuril Islands, Kamchatka Peninsula, Aleutian Islands, Alaska Peninsula, and the west coast of North America.
“When you go, it’s best to go in the summer, riding the Japanese warm current and the North Pacific warm current. When passing the Aleutian Islands, don’t get too close to avoid being affected by the Alaskan warm current coming from the east.”
Cao Yi added a few words, saying that he had not given the high school geography knowledge to the teacher yet.
When Ying Zheng read history, he didn't pay much attention to this part, but he believed in Cao Yi and nodded subconsciously.
Li Si looked confused. He couldn't understand why His Majesty was talking to Mr. Cao.
Cao Yi and Ying Zheng discussed for a while and decided on a seemingly 'reliable' route. They turned around and found Li Si staring at the ants on the ground with a bored look on his face.
"Prime Minister"
Cao Yi shouted.
Li Si raised his head with a stiff smile on his face.
"Your Majesty will give you three months to prepare and organize a fleet to find the God-given thing."
Cao Yi said.
"Really go?"
Li Si frowned slightly. At this moment, he already regarded Cao Yi as someone like Lu Sheng or Xu Fu.
"To be honest, even I think it's a little early." After Cao Yi finished speaking, he looked at Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, why not"
"The sooner you go, the better." Ying Zheng looked determined: "The Manchus and Qing Dynasties, with these three godsends, have multiplied 360 million people in just over a hundred years. I will personally preside over it, and then follow Gou Jian's example and reward In less than fifty years, the people of the Qin Dynasty will surely increase several times. By then, every time they occupy a land, kill all the natives and fill it with the people of the Qin Dynasty. Then there is no chance that the sun will never set on the empires of the Spanish and British barbarians. This mistake is hundreds of times worse than the Mongols' blind massacre."
That was the original idea!
Cao Yi immediately gave up the idea of persuading him again.
Li Si was confused again. Which big country was the Manchu and Qing Dynasties? There are actually 360 million people. Who are the Spanish barbarians and the British barbarians who dare to call themselves an empire on which the sun never sets, and who are the Mongols?
What happened during this time? Why can't I understand what His Majesty said at all?
What's even more frightening is that if this continues, I will be regarded as a useless person by His Majesty and abandoned.
"Even if I sacrifice thousands or tens of thousands of people, I must find three God-given things as soon as possible."
Ying Zheng said very iron-bloodedly.
As an emperor, as an emperor with the world in mind, he only thinks about giving and reward. As long as the reward is much higher than the effort, he will do it without hesitation.
"It might not be so bad if you make more preparations and send a capable person."
Cao Yi said.
"Your Majesty, I have a candidate."
Li Si said loudly.
Cao Yi touched his ears.
"who?"
Ying Zheng frowned and asked.
"General Zhang Han is a thoughtful, courageous and strategic man. He is a rare candidate."
Li Si's voice was higher than before.
"allow"
Ying Zheng agreed without thinking.
He has a deep memory of this last famous general of Great Qin.
"I'll do it right away"
Li Si handed over his hand, turned around and walked out.
"Prime Minister"
Ying Zheng shouted.
Li Si turned around and looked at Ying Zheng doubtfully: "Your Majesty, what else can I do?"
Ying Zheng touched his ears and said, "Don't speak so loudly next time."
Li Si agreed and walked out with a stiff expression.
Ying Zheng lowered his hands from his ears, looked at Cao Yi who was smiling, and said helplessly: "This Li Si"
