my grandfather was qin shi huang

Some people say that a very important factor in the demise of the Qin Dynasty was the lack of a world map.

The powerful Qin Empire emerged based on military merit and nobility. After sweeping across the six kingdoms with its powerful and efficient farming and manufacturing technology, this system that was created for war suddenly had no place to use.

The old Qin people no longer have wars and can return to their fields and enjoy the benefits brought by their titles. However, the nobles and common people of the other six countries that have just been included in the rule can no longer obtain wealth through war like the old Qin people. His own title and interests were thus forced to become victims of the military merit system.

Under the system of military merit and nobility, even princes and grandsons, without military merit, are not allowed to be given a title, or even entered into the family tree. This is why there are so few names recorded in them!

The First Emperor's own son is like this, let alone the original nobles of the Six Kingdoms?

Without common interests and the inability to form a cultural and psychological sense of identity in a short period of time, this empire cannot form a strong centripetal force.

With no way to make progress and unwilling to lose their aristocratic status, the nobles of the six countries could only rise up and resist. When the First Emperor was alive, they could do nothing but sneak around, like mice, and do some shady tricks. As soon as the First Emperor died, they took advantage of the situation and once again started a war to exterminate the violent Qin, a war to annihilate the violent Qin. Qin's slogan is actually a war to re-divide interests.

Therefore, after time traveling, Zhao Ying has been thinking about finding an opportunity to give the First Emperor, the ministers, and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms who lost their aristocratic status in the process of the First Emperor unifying the world a broader map.

Give them a chance to regain their own interests and strive for their own status.

Also give this empire a gap to vent internal grievances and conflicts!

He had been preparing all day.

After traveling through time, he has been vigorously collecting information about the countries in the Western Regions, borrowing books about the countries in the Western Regions, exercising, working hard, and personally meeting some business travelers from the Western Regions.

The reason is for today, so that what I say today can be traced!

persuasive!

Have credibility!

Zhao Ying held the half-burnt branch and roughly drew the geographical outline while introducing the world outside Da Qin to everyone.

"Across the Hexi Corridor, there are the countries in the Western Region that are rich in products and full of gold. Further west, there is a small country said to be called Bactria. To the west of Bactria is Parthia, and to the south is a The huge empire, the Mauryan Dynasty..."

As Zhao Ying narrated, a brand new, unheard of vast world appeared in the eyes of the First Emperor and a group of civil and military ministers, and everyone was shocked.

Especially when they heard about the existence of the Mauryan Empire, the Seleucid Empire and the Roman Empire, which were comparable to the Great Qin Empire, they were even more shocked.

Especially the First Emperor, whose eyes were almost on fire.

I originally thought that the world is so big, it only extends to the East China Sea in the east, the South China Sea in the south, the desert grasslands occupied by the Xiongnu in the north, and the vast mountains and barren, desolate, uncivilized barbarian lands in the west. I never thought that there are other countries that can rival the Qin Dynasty. Civilization, there is even more fertile land than Da Qin!

Until Zhao Ying mapped out the entire Eurasian continent and South Africa, looking at this huge map, Qin only occupied a pitiful small piece of land, and the First Emperor couldn't help but feel high in fighting spirit.

"Send orders to Heibingtai and all counties in Longxi to investigate with all their strength——"

Wang Jian even carefully held the map drawn by Zhao Ying in his hands. These were treasures. Compared to the stingy old general Wang Jian, the First Emperor was much calmer and glanced at Zhao Ying.

"Ying'er, when you get back, hurry up and draw me a new one - then write a detailed memorial and send it to me..."

"promise!"

Zhao Ying bowed and accepted the order with a serious look on his face.

Because of this map, everyone was no longer in the mood to continue barbecue hunting, and they were all silently digesting this shocking news and the possible subsequent impact of this news.

But one thing they have in common is that almost no one in this group of big guys who started out with military exploits is willing to give up on continuing to fight.

Only Zhao Ying, although his face was calm, felt a little inexplicably heavy in his heart.

He suddenly became a little unsure about his long-planned plan offering.

Is the bait I threw out really right?

Can it alleviate the conflicts that are about to break out in Da Qin? Will it drag Da Qin into a quagmire of war that is militaristic and wastes money and people? For many things, the feeling of standing on the shore and gesticulating is completely different from the feeling of being in the water.

Maybe……

But, I want to live!

Zhao Ying picked up the wine man in front of him, raised it high, and paused——

All in one drink!

Then he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"I would like to be a spear in the hands of my great father, open up new territories for my great father, and accomplish extraordinary feats!"

There is no use looking forward and backward. Now that he has done it, he opens his mouth and carries the wine man. Zhao Ying suddenly feels clear and energetic.

"Excellent, my grandson!"

The First Emperor looked at the heroic grandson in front of him and felt happy in his heart. Although my sons are useless, I still have a grandson!

"Come, drink this cup to the full to congratulate my grandson and congratulate the great Qin——"

The First Emperor raised his wine glass high.

Suddenly there was a deafening response from everywhere.

"Congratulations to His Highness, congratulations to Great Qin——"

Ah, this-

I'm deceiving people so much that I'm even a little hot-blooded. What should I do?

……

Shaofu, Dongyuan.

The difficulty in building the Lishui spinning wheel was the huge water wheel. With Chun and other young craftsmen who had experience in building water wheels joining in, the skilled old craftsmen suddenly became enlightened.

Once the difficulty was overcome, under the massive and efficient operation of the Shaofu, a brand new large hydraulic spinning wheel was successfully placed on the Dian River.

Shi Lu, who came after hearing the news, saw the guy in front of him who was driving more than 50 spindles at the same time, spinning at a speed far beyond human power. He almost pulled out his beard with excitement.

Become!

It really works!

Mr. Ying’s creativity is simply unbelievable and ingenious!

"Okay, well done, I will personally ask your Majesty for your credit!"

Having said this, Shi Lu turned around excitedly.

"Come here, prepare your horses, I am going to tell His Majesty the good news——"

……

Shanglin Court.

Everyone who was about to leave suddenly heard the rapid sound of horse hooves in the distance. They couldn't help but feel startled. They stopped what they were doing and looked over in surprise.

Could it be that there was another rebellion somewhere?

It wasn't until he came closer and saw Shi Lu on horseback that he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a rebellion, but the doubts in his heart deepened.

What is the situation that makes one of the Nine Qings, Mr. Shi Shaofu, who is known for his caution and calmness, act like this?

PS: The wake will continue tomorrow. Chapter 2 I'll see if I can squeeze it in. I guess it will be very late if I update.
