Li Si rolled his eyes at Zhao Si.
There is nothing to communicate with this kind of person who has never fallen out of favor.
"Is Prime Minister Li really not worried anymore? In addition to the gift of a jade from a foreigner, the emperor's star is swaying and the heart is confused, but the celestial phenomena are not controlled by humans." Zhao Si asked.
The smile on Li Si's face slowly faded when he heard this, and then turned into silence.
"It all depends on man-made things... Could it be that just because of the so-called celestial phenomenon, all the hard work will be wasted?" Li Si said seriously.
The ancients would not disbelieve in destiny...
However, even the ancients had the courage to fight for destiny when faced with it.
"On the contrary, it's you..." Li Si pointed at Zhao Si and said.
"You don't seem worried?"
Zhao Si shook his head when he heard this.
"Why am I worried about this... It's the same as what Li Xiang said, everything depends on man-made things. You can't give up on yourself just because of the so-called celestial phenomena, right?"
"Compared to this, I am more concerned about another issue." Zhao Si spread his hands.
"What's the matter?" Li Si asked smoothly.
"Your Majesty is determined to patrol the world. Will you take me with you?" Zhao Si said seriously.
Bringing this mobile spring with you is the most important thing!
Li Si's gray beard trembled twice, a little reluctant to answer Zhao Si's very Versailles question.
"You're such a jerk!" Li Si finally cursed.
Do you know who is favoring you, Zhao Si? Do you know how enviable the favor you are receiving now is?
Will I still take you with me?
Li Si felt that if the First Emperor decided to patrol the world and Zhao Si objected, the First Emperor would probably be shaken by this.
After Li Si cursed, he decided not to pay attention to this boy from Versailles. He lowered his head and continued to prepare for the imperial edict. Full of resentment, he wrote down the names of the old nobles from the six countries on the bamboo slips.
"Yes..." Zhao Si grinned.
"It seems that he will probably take me with him..." It's not that Zhao Si said Versailles, but it's really important to take him with him. Without him, Zhao Si was really worried that the First Emperor would die on the way.
…
And on the other side, the doctor’s order!
The First Emperor and Meng Yi sat opposite each other.
"I want to patrol the world!"
It's a notification, not an inquiry.
Meng Yi was slightly shocked when he heard this, but as a loyal minister of the First Emperor, he was already accustomed to the First Emperor's dictatorial style of moving the world vigorously and resolutely.
"Is it because of what happened last night?" Meng Yi asked.
"The emperor's star is swaying, Yinghuo guards the heart, and a stranger gives the jade!" The First Emperor looked at Meng Yi with burning eyes.
"Your Majesty... there are rumors going around right now, and public opinion has spread so widely in a short period of time. Someone must be secretly manipulating it. I am worried that your Majesty's patrol around the world is actually playing into your own hands..." Meng Yi frowned and thought for a moment before saying.
"Can the route of the current grand tour of the world be planned?" The First Emperor did not answer, but just asked.
"It's done, but the patrol was originally scheduled for September, so the officers and soldiers haven't selected and prepared the frames yet..." Meng Yi felt helpless.
Regarding the First Emperor's grand tour of the world, he had some hidden worries in his heart.
After all, these events are too coincidental and inexplicable. Although the world patrol does not happen once or twice, it is always not safe to stay in Xianyang when going out.
It's just a pity that the First Emperor came to inform rather than ask.
Meng Yi knew very well that the First Emperor himself had already made a decision in his heart.
"In three days, I will hold a court meeting!" The First Emperor nodded and looked at Meng Yi.
"In half a month, my car will leave Xianyang!"
The First Emperor did not deliberately embarrass Meng Yi. Although half a month was a bit tight, it was not difficult to complete.
"Your Majesty..." Seeing that the First Emperor had made up his mind, Meng Yi wanted to persuade him again, but he met the First Emperor's sharp gaze and finally accepted his words.
"only!"
Meng Yi paused heavily...
It’s not just once or twice, Meng Yi is already used to it.
No one could persuade the First Emperor to change his decision.
…
The First Emperor had made countermeasures and decisions to deal with public opinion, but public opinion still intensified.
The remnants of the Six Kingdoms secretly added fuel to the flames, and the people of Guizhou were already boiling with resentment. Suddenly, the city was filled with turmoil, and the Qin Dynasty was actually in a state of decline...
According to current public opinion, Da Qin is looking at the rabbit's tail as if it can't grow any longer.
As for Da Qin's allocation of grain and the positive benefits caused by lowering salt prices, they also disappeared in a very short period of time.
After all, most of the three new grains were in the hands of the nobles, and the common people had no chance to see them.
The lowered salt prices were not enough to alleviate the public resentment caused by the harsh Qin laws and heavy corvee taxes.
The resentment of the leaders of Guizhou in the world towards the Qin State and towards the First Emperor has now reached the point where they are full of rebellion and is at a critical point in time.
Otherwise, Hu Hai's succession to the throne would not have caused smoke and smoke everywhere in just a few years.
Judging from the results, Hu Hai was a mediocre and incompetent king. From a factual point of view, the demise of Qin should not be attributed to Hu Hai alone.
The Qin State relied on Shang Yang's reforms to make it prosperous and strong, but at the same time as the reforms, hidden dangers were buried in the country's body.
Since Shang Yang's reform, the Qin State is no longer the Qin State it once was. Every merger and expansion of the Qin State is overdrawing its own vitality.
The poison in the country had been sown a long time ago, but now it has become terminally ill and has reached a critical point where it is about to explode completely.
At the moment, the Great Qin is covered with clouds. On a sunny day at noon, it seems that there is an airtight net covering the entire Great Qin, which is gradually tightening.
And Fusang at this moment... seems to be somewhat similar to Da Qin at this moment.
Fusang, before Xu Fu's eastward journey, there was no civilization here.
Some are just indigenous tribes that drink blood from their hair.
They live in simple houses and rely on drilling wood to make fire. In some places, they even live a life of eating raw materials and drinking blood.
The hundreds of large ships that the Qin Dynasty crossed to the east were like magic weapons descending from the sky to Fusang.
This group of dwarfs, whose average height is only one and four meters, have never seen such tall and strong people in their lives, nor have they seen such a majestic ship!
When a civilization that was still an indigenous tribe saw the warship crossing the sea for the first time, it was no different than an ancient person seeing an aircraft carrier.
The natives fear power but not virtue!
They instinctively want to rob them all!
It is a pity that their backward weapons and ridiculous tactical organization make this fleet's attack like a joke.
Even if Xu Fu is just an alchemist!
Even if he has no experience in leading troops.
Da Qin easily crushed this group of natives by relying only on the fighting power of its soldiers, and established a base here.
Xu Fu became their nominal leader through seduction, and allowed them to stay at sea willingly because the First Emperor would question them.
Xu Fu is a smart man. He knows that he is the leader in name only.
He is just an alchemist, not a general, and he has no base of his own.
While Xu Fu controlled and balanced the forces on the ship, he personally took the boys and girls on the ship with him to raise and educate them.
He knew that these boys were his base.
There are several children among them, all of whom Xu Fu has high hopes for.
For example, Zhao Si...
Xu Fu remembered this child. He was very smart and learned literacy the fastest.
Moreover, he is also very capable of leadership. Children of the same age respect him and are willing to obey his orders.
Xu Fu even had the idea of accepting Zhao Si as his adopted son more than once.
Unfortunately, Xu Fu later had his own child.
Zhao Si's excellence seems a bit out of place.
too young! Zhao Si was too young for Xu Fu, but too old for Xu Fu's children.
So Xu Fu began to gradually alienate and downplay Zhao Si's influence...
But Zhao Si seems to be so convincing by nature. Not only the boys on the boat, but also most of the soldiers and even craftsmen who followed Xu Fu eastward all spoke highly of Zhao Si.
Xu Fu realized the hidden danger, and he hesitated.
He also took a series of measures to deal with it, such as dividing fields, cultivating wasteland, presiding over sacrifices, and ascending the throne as emperor. He began to strengthen his position.
At the same time, he also took a series of measures, and everyone nominally recognized Xu Fu's rule.
They began to gradually expand and conquer the natives on the island.
Xu Fu's position is becoming more and more stable.
However, Zhao Si's excellence also made Xu Fu realize that his young child's position might be becoming more and more unstable.
At that time... Zhao Si was only thirteen years old!
Xu Fu thought about many outcomes, but never thought that Zhao Si would actually gather people to seize the ship and go to sea.
What he didn't even expect was that there were more than nine hundred and a half young men who were really willing to follow Zhao Si on a journey home with a slim future.
After Xu Fu landed in Fusang, the most important job he did was to match the crew members.
He allowed the crew to treat the natives as goods and a tool for venting their anger. He allowed them to settle down and marry the natives, and they could have three wives and four concubines, just to make them forget their home in Daqin.
Let them follow you safely and take root here.
Even the group of boys and girls were betrothed one by one by Xu Fu when they were ten years old, just waiting to get married as soon as they reached the age.
He never expected... that it would be so late...
Zhao Si actually ran away with more than 900 children!
This incident caused a great sensation, and Xu Fu executed dozens of people because of it!
These more than 900 boys are Xu Fu's foundation that cannot be ignored! That was the seedling of his empire!
It was after that that Xu Fu ordered all the ships to be destroyed!
Therefore, he urged everyone to settle down and start a business as soon as possible, evenly divided the fields for them, and arranged native slaves for them.
Of course, in this process, Xu Fu also began to consciously conquer and absorb some indigenous tribes.
Choose some smart natives as your loyal subordinates.
According to Xu Fu's plan, he will be able to complete the initial development here in a few decades.
At that time, all the crew members followed him as nobles, and the natives were Qianshou.
With him as the leader, the Qin people as the root, and the indigenous people as the basis, a three-yuan rule was formed.
But that's without any surprises.
And now...the surprise comes!
