Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

"Comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, physique, art and labor? It's interesting to say, how to do it specifically?"

Ying Zheng asked curiously.

"Virtue, virtue is also, after a person has learned knowledge, how to use this knowledge, whether it is used to benefit the Great Qin, or to harm one side, this needs to be cultivated from the beginning, so a course was created to teach Morality, this is very important.”

"Intelligence, intelligence is also the main body that students need to learn. It can be roughly divided into three courses, language, arithmetic and science."

"Physical, physique. In the Six Arts of Gentlemen, there are also courses for physical fitness such as archery and horseback riding. Therefore, it is also very important to develop a healthy and strong body. It can be divided into physical education courses."

"Beauty and aesthetics are mainly to cultivate students' ability to appreciate beauty, discover beauty, and create beauty. It can be divided into music theory, painting and calligraphy courses."

"Labor, labor, labor creates value, and no matter what you do, it requires countless people to put in countless efforts and hard work to complete it. Therefore, it is necessary to train students to value the value of labor. You can organize them to carry out social practice and experience the hard work of labor."

Zhao Che finished explaining the meaning of morality, intelligence, physique, beauty and labor in one breath, and Ying Zheng and Meng Yi immediately applauded loudly.

"Che'er, listening to your words today, I was enlightened. From now on, all our schools will respect the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique, art and labor. If things go on like this, countless outstanding talents will definitely be cultivated!"

"Education can't be rushed. It has to be done step by step. The money needed to popularize education is not a small sum. Among other things, just building private schools is worth the taxes of Daqin for several years now."

"This……"

Ying Zheng's enthusiasm was ruthlessly quenched by Zhao Che's two words.

"We now have Daqin Bank, Daqin Restaurant, and so many factories and restaurants. Isn't this money enough to invest in education?"

"Far from enough!"

Zhao Che shook his head resolutely. Although factories and banks are indeed very profitable, the problem is that these have just started and are far from popularized. After all, there is a limit to the money that can be earned.

The ancient economic system has basically been fixed, and it is not something that can be done overnight if you want to improve it.

Investing in education is a bottomless pit. There is no specific and clear figure for the money burned into it. With their current strength, they are still far behind.

"Then what do you say? I just said that I want to promote education, so I can't give up just because I don't have money?"

Ying Zheng spread his hands and asked Zhao Che directly about the solution.

"Trade, we need liquid trade."

"Mobile trade? What does this mean?"

Ying Zheng was taken aback for a moment, not quite understanding Zhao Che's words.

"Father, have you ever been to the Western Regions?"

"Western Region? Is it the alien race in the west?"

"More than that, in fact, the place where we live, Daqin is just a small corner. Outside of Daqin, there is a wider world where countless different ethnic groups live, and they have established their own civilizations. The closest ones are the countries of the Western Regions."

"There is actually a piece of heaven and earth outside of Daqin?"

Ying Zheng was shocked. In their inherent thinking, Daqin is the center of the world. Outside of Daqin, except for those countries in the Western Regions, there is endless barrenness, and the end of the world is the ends of the earth.

But now, Zhao Che actually said that such a huge empire of Great Qin is actually just a small corner in the world, which is very unacceptable.

"I'll show you something good!"

Zhao Che suddenly took out a blue spherical object and placed it on the table.

"What is this?"

"globe!"

"Globe? What kind of ball is the earth?"

Ying Zheng looked at the colorful pieces on the globe and asked with some doubts.

"The earth is the piece of land under our feet. The world we live in is not a round sky, but a round sphere."

"What? You said the land under our feet is a sphere? How is this possible? If a person stands on a sphere, won't he fall?"

Ying Zheng shook his head frantically, unwilling to accept such absurd theory at all.

"This involves the gravitational force discovered by the great scientist named Newton. The center of the sphere in which we live will emit a force, just like magnetic force, that will hold us tightly on the ground, so the sky Everything will fall down, as long as gravity can be overcome, it is not difficult even for a person to go to the sky.”

"Can humans go to heaven?"

Ying Zheng didn't understand gravity, he only heard the word "God".

Since ancient times, flying to the sky and escaping from the earth has been the ability of gods in myths and legends.

Even if Ying Zheng is the emperor, he is full of yearning for the matter of going to heaven.

"It's still a bit far away now, let's talk about the trade just now."

As Zhao Che said, he turned the globe and quickly pointed to one of the small maps.

"Father, this place is our Great Qin, and further outside is the Siberian Plain. In addition to the Xiongnu alien race, there are also various countries in the Western Regions, large and small, and they also have their own civilization."

"It turns out that there is such a vast world outside. It seems that our vision is limited, but what does this have to do with our trade?"

"It's a big relationship. The civilizations of the countries in the Western Regions cause their main production directions to be different from ours. For example, the silk and glazed porcelain that we often see are very precious treasures in their eyes, and their camels and livestock are very important to us. It’s something that’s very much needed.”

Zhao Che took out a pen and drew a line on the globe.

"Our trade is to start from Daqin, follow this route, pass through these countries in the Western Regions, and then open up a commercial road to trade with the countries in the Western Regions. This is the most profitable way."

"It's a long road. It seems that you, Che'er, have already had an idea!"

Ying Zheng sighed.

"Yes, I am going to name this road the Silk Road!"

"Silk Road, great name!"

"This route will be the first way for us to connect the countries in the Western Regions, and for us to step out of the current world and step into a wider world, so no matter how much it costs, we must get through it!"
