Chapter 1318 Out to Sea
Recently, the world has been in turmoil, and the Han autonomous region is in full swing, and Confucianism has given full play to its advantages, abolishing the harsh laws of the Qin Dynasty, reducing taxes, and encouraging agriculture to encourage childbearing.
This behavior made some anti-Qin people who came to take refuge in them dissatisfied, and this is what it looks like to prepare for war in order to live a life? They want to rebel against the Qin Dynasty and eliminate tyranny.
However, there is no tyranny in the autonomous region, so why should they fight? Haven't they fought enough? The people do not want to fight, so they want to live in peace and stability, plant their fields well, and stop building the Great Wall and the Li Mountain Mausoleum.
Zhang Liang and others also knew the demands of the people, so they chose to recuperate. However, they also realized a problem, that is, without Duran's resources, the people of these hundred and fifty cities would not have such a good life. They also became more and more confused about Duran, if it was a bet, shouldn't he find a way to destroy the livelihood of the hundred and fifty cities, why would Duran be so kind, or was he confident that he could build other cities better?
Seeing that Denisha was ready, Duran decided to speed up and build a fleet around the globe first. Working overtime, and with the help of the golden people, the huge hull changes every day.
This is to go to sea, and the crew is also needed, as well as a person in charge.
Du Lan went up and asked the emperor to go to sea with Li Si or Zhao Gao. After Li Si and Zhao Gao knew about Du Lan's plan, they scolded Du Lan for being so excluded from dissidents, the sea was unpredictable, if they died outside, Da Qin would be Du Lan's own decision.
Li Si and Zhao Gao saw that Du Lan was so quick to do something to them, and they all said that Du Lan was insidious and terrifying, and they quietly found such a reason.
Such an important plan to go to sea really needs a heavyweight to be able to hold it, Li Si and Zhao Gao are indeed the emperor's right-hand men, and the emperor will definitely pick a past if he doesn't think about it carefully.
Li Si, who got the news, broke his leg, anyway, he couldn't leave the power center of Daqin to take risks, why did he go to sea if he did a good job?
Zhao Gao originally wanted to pretend to be sick, but he didn't expect Li Si to play so badly, if he resigned now, it would make the fake emperor unhappy, so he decided to recommend another person to replace him. Zhao Gao is agitation is three-inch like a spring, blowing a small eunuch under his command in the sky and on the earth, he knows that the fake emperor is Hu Hai, and understands that Hu Hai's temperament is the weakest, and he will definitely listen to him.
Sure enough, Hu Hai was very curious when he heard Zhao Gao praise a little eunuch so much. In addition, Zhao Gao and Du Lan supported themselves as emperors together, and they couldn't bear Zhao Gao to go to the sea to be exposed to the wind and sun, so they agreed to let the little eunuch lead the fleet.
The name of this little eunuch is Cai He, and he was originally just a little eunuch who served Zhao Gao's daily life, but he didn't expect to become the helmsman of an entire fleet all of a sudden.
Du Lanxin said okay, the combination of Cai Lun and Zheng He, Cai Lun made paper, and Zheng He went to the West. Let's talk about interviews first, eunuchs also have many talented characters, and they can't be disjudged against. However, speaking of Cai Lun, Du Lan only thought that there was no paper production, and now all the books are silk cloth and bamboo slips, which is not conducive to preservation and circulation.
So after Cai He arrived in Songhai City, Duran gave him a task, which was to make paper according to his secret recipe, and if he succeeded, he would be appointed to be the helmsman of the Globe Fleet.
Cai He is actually only fifteen years old, but it has been three years since he entered the palace, he was originally from Xianyang, but his father lost all his belongings because of his good betting, and because his mother remarried, relatives were unwilling to take care of him, so when he was twelve years old, Cai He himself ran to become a eunuch, and he has been in the palace for three years, because he was clever and took care of himself by Zhao Gao.
Speaking of ability and determination, Cai He is not lacking, and he has never felt inferior because he is inhumane, anyway, it is not easy to survive in this era, how many people starve to death on the street and how many people die in a foreign land, Cai He has seen a lot, the important thing is to live.
After being recommended by Zhao Gao, Cai He was still uneasy, you must know that the great master is a terrible person who can easily make the prime minister break his leg with a suggestion and make Zhao Gao sleepless at night.
In this place in the palace, the most important thing is eyesight, and you must not offend the characters you can't afford to provoke. The Great Power Teacher is definitely the last thing that this Great Qin can provoke. Therefore, Cai He immediately went to Zhang Luo to collect raw materials after getting the task, and he would definitely make a paper that was satisfactory to the great master.
I don't know what paper is, though.
Cai He exerted his subjective initiative, and in just five days, the first batch of paper was placed in front of Duran, and the quality was first-class.
Sure enough, he was a very capable little eunuch, and Du Lan was very satisfied: "Very good, you are qualified, but the name Cai He is too courageous in the West, I will give the name, and you will be called Undefeated in the East in the future!" "I will teach you how to distinguish the direction at sea and be a qualified 'helmsman'." ”
Dongfang is undefeated?! Cai He was shocked again and again, and he didn't know how to react, because this name was too amazing. He can't afford it at all.
"Don't be nervous, I said that you are undefeated in the East is undefeated in the East, and I will teach you the "Sunflower Treasure Book" and make you a world-famous eunuch!"
Cai He's mind turned sharply, he gritted his teeth, and threw himself to the ground: "Thank you, Master." "The great master is definitely a thigh, a thigh thicker than Zhao Gao, and the great master has taught him so many things, when will he not hold his thighs at this time?" ”
Zhao Gao didn't recommend the wrong person, Du Lan smiled: "If I don't give you an identity, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the people of the fleet to convince you, so accept you as my registered disciple, this is a treatment that Emperor Qin didn't have, you have to work hard in the future." "Duran doesn't know how many registered disciples he has, but Cai He is definitely the first eunuch to be accepted as a disciple by Duran.
"Thank you for your kindness. Cai He was excited, and he hugged Daqin's thickest thigh: "The disciple promises to complete the master's task." ”
Paper should be promoted, starting with officials at all levels of the Qin state, and then sold to civilians at a very low price, so that paper can circulate quickly.
"Your Excellency the Eastern Emperor, Duran's fleet is almost complete, I don't know what demon magic he used, all the conscripts are working in vain, and they are even one step ahead of our mirage. "The moon god reported the latest information to the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
"It seems that he is really ready to prove that the world is round. Donghuang Taiyi said: "Regardless of him, as long as we refine the elixir of life, we are still the emperor's most trusted person." "In front of outsiders, Donghuang Taiyi is still very 'loyal'.
Finally, Duran's fleet is about to set off, and the reason why it is so fast is because Duran secretly helped. The training of the crew is also directly completed by the initiation, and it may not be ready for another two years at a normal rate. Anyway, there are all kinds of black technologies in this world, so Duran won't waste time, and he will prepare the fleet by dividing it by two, and then go to sea.
Cai He stood at the bow of the boat and bowed to Duran three times, which was regarded as saying goodbye to his teacher. This time, the ship was loaded with all kinds of goods, porcelain, silk and paper, and of course, you can also grow vegetables on the ship, and fresh water is naturally indispensable. If you encounter other indigenous civilizations along the way, it is also Duran's task to trade, but if someone has a bad intention, let them know that the East is undefeated.
