Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 124 The Ancestors of All the Evil Ones!
"If I remember correctly, it took Zhao Shilang eight years from the time he went to sea to his return..." Wang Wan, the prime minister on the right, stepped out of the line and looked at Zhao Si with a smile.

Zhao Si nodded.

"Eight years! How far is the distance? How do generals listen to the emperor's orders when they are away? How do soldiers obey the control when they are away? How can food, grass, soldiers and horses survive? How much manpower and material resources will be wasted in logistics? Is there anything overseas that is worth such a big price for Daqin? ?” Wang Wan said with a smile.

Where there are young men, there will naturally be old men, and where there are radicals, there will naturally be conservatives.

The main structure of the young faction is the beneficiaries of the middle and lower ranks of military merit, as well as the direct descendants of the beneficiaries of high-level military ranks.

The main structure of the old school is the vested interests with the old aristocratic power as the core, a group of people who stand at the top of the Great Qin.

The young faction and the veteran faction are intertwined. The young faction is currently dominated by the beneficiaries of the middle and low-level military merits, and the core descendants of the veteran faction such as Meng Tian are the main ones.

The Laocheng faction is dominated by the old clan of the Wang family of the Meng family.

It can be said that there is me in you and you in me. This is not a conflict.

Even Li Xin, who was in the ring with Wang Jian back then, Li Xin, the undisputed leader of the Young and Strong faction, and his father Li Yao are also one of the core representatives of the Veteran faction.

Because Daqin's title cannot be inherited directly.

Non-military merit is not allowed to be promoted, and even the royal family's children cannot hold any position and receive any salary without military merit.

This also led to no matter whether it was a big noble or a small noble or a commoner, they had to roll.

Therefore, a special phenomenon will appear.

No matter if they were the children of the great nobles or the minor nobles, or Li Shu or even slaves, as long as they had military merits, they were all born radical and young.

When their titles reach a certain level and it is difficult to continue to advance, they will naturally turn to the old-fashioned school and want to seek hereditary inheritance of titles.

Wang Jian and Wang Ben, Li Yao and Li Xin, Meng Wu and Meng Tian, ​​these three father and son pairs are all typical.

The old is the veteran school, and the young is the young school.

The Battle of Chu was the final battle of Qin's unification of the world, and it was also the most intense confrontation between the veteran faction and the young and strong faction.

Li Xin was defeated and plummeted after losing his heart.

Wang Jian led the army to go out, and after defeating Chu, he was granted no reward and no reward. He stood at the top of the twentieth rank of military merit in the Great Qin Dynasty and became the only Chehou.

In return for the victors, the title of the royal family was specially approved to be inherited, so Wang Jian, Wang Ben, and Wang Li became three princes of one family.

Cheer!That is the pinnacle of the twentieth-level noble of the Great Qin Dynasty!
Although Wang Ben has military merits, Meng Tian's merits are not inferior to Wang Ben's. If he hadn't been specially approved to inherit, Wang Ben could only stop and become a marquis.

Ordinary Hou and Chehou are completely two concepts.

This can be regarded as the first shot fired in the hereditary title, but the first emperor did not compromise, so the Wang family became the most special existence in Daqin.

Although the veteran faction won the victory, the confrontation between the young and veteran faction still exists.

Even in essence, it is a game and struggle between father and son, and there is no doubt that after reaching the top position of the young school, when there is no progress, the former core figures of the young school will naturally turn into the old school.

Wang Wan, as the right minister of Great Qin, the most noble existence among the three princes, fired the first shot.

And it's obvious...the young faction doesn't agree with Wang Wan's old-fashioned words.

"Isn't it enough to bring back three kinds of immortal food in eight years?" It was Meng Yi who spoke.

It can be regarded as going off in person to speak for the elder brother who was not present.

Thus, the young faction and the veteran faction started a formal verbal war. Of course, there are many taboos between father and son, and they will not confront each other directly. , Li Si objected to Shusun Tong...

In short, you hate my father, I hate your father...

There is no need to mention the old-fashioned words of the old school, but the radical remarks and firepower of the young school made Zhao Si dumbfounded.

"There are so many fertile lands overseas, shouldn't they become the territory of Great Qin?"

"It's difficult to control the overseas land? Then kill all the Yidi and move the people of the Central Plains there!"

"This statement is wrong, and she should be arrested and made a concubine of a servant!"

The old school's firepower output is not as good as that of the young school, and the young school's proposal stands out as a fierce one.

If you are in a hurry, you will even start a personal attack, and as a result, another weird situation will appear.

You offended my father, I hold a grudge, I will offend your father...

Although the father and son did not face each other directly, it is undeniable that this is the war between the father and the son, and what is even more paradoxical is that, on the side of the father, the loser was a complete mess...

As the left minister, Li Si was calm. He didn't speak much, because he knew the will of the first emperor, and he was also the executor of the will of the first emperor.

As the right minister, Wang Wan didn't have so many worries. He didn't have that much real power, and he was about to retire at another age, so he simply put on airs.

Daqin respects the right, he is old and shameless, it is indeed difficult to resist.

"When Shang Jun reformed, the big surname was changed to a small surname, and everyone was changed to a small family. You know?" Shusun Tong stood up and asked.

"Of course I know!" Wang Wan nodded.

"The right person can tell that the Lord Shang must punish and kill the elders every time he divides his family into a surname!"

"Overseas fertile soil is more than a thousand miles? The right minister's discussion is tantamount to blindfolding one's own eyes! Thousands of miles of fertile soil, overseas borders, tens of thousands of ministers..."

After a long list of words, Shusun Tong suddenly turned his head to look at Wang Wan: "We are public, and the right is private, and his heart can be punished!"

Wang Wan held her breath in her chest when she heard the words, and there was even a moment of silence in the courtroom... not everyone dared to shoot right.

Zhao Si was silently speechless... You are a Confucianist, why do you understand Legalism so well, and you still use what you have learned...

It was Emperor Shi Huang who looked at Shusun Tong with a smile on his face.

Shu Suntong, Dr. Daizhao, a teacher of Chun Yuyue, a leading figure among the young disciples of Confucianism, but compared to Chun Yuyue, Shu Sun Tong was obviously more satisfied with the first emperor.

However, after all, things went too far, and Shu Suntong's comments were too exaggerated. The young faction and the veteran faction were fighting for real fire. Forced to electrify and go to the field, returning home and being autistic...

Because Wang Jian, the leader of the veteran faction, did not go to court and the nuclear bomb was not deployed, the veteran faction lost in a mess.

After all, it was Emperor Shihuang who stood behind the young faction, but the essence of this court meeting was still a maritime matter. The tit-for-tat confrontation between the young faction and the old-fashioned faction was to some extent regarded as the deliberate indulgence of the first emperor.

The veteran faction had already lost in a complete mess, so Li Si naturally came forward to end the topic.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Meng Shangqing's opinion has some truth, but it is difficult to communicate and solve the problem of traveling abroad, so in my opinion..."

In the end, Li Si revealed all the plans that had been discussed.

The development of maritime affairs should not be carried out rashly regardless of the cost. While starting to invest in shipbuilding, focus on offshore places where the voyage period is short and can be taken into account, focusing on overseas Eastern barbarians and occupying offshore territories.

In the far sea, the main purpose is to establish communication after exploration, and not to attack without authorization.

At the same time, it is suggested that Zou Feng should be the main preparation for maritime affairs...

Everyone knows that this has already been discussed. On the contrary, there are no disputes and discussions here. Everyone tacitly starts to discuss how to clean up the overseas Dongyi, how to build offshore power, ship construction, and how to rule overseas. ...

Then the traditional disputes began again, whether to set up counties overseas or to separate them...

Because Wang Wan lost all face, Shusun Tong deliberately avoided, and the enfeoffment faction was defeated again.

Zhao Si looked dumbfounded...

So, a maritime incident turned into a chaos?

First, there is the battle between the old school and the young school.

Then came the dispute between the enfeoffment faction and the county faction.

Everyone seems to be fighting for their brains, but when you look closely, it turns out that you have me in you and you in me.

As for filthy people?

The people of Qin, who are full of martial virtue, don't care about the life and death of overseas filthy people.

The radical Qin people think that they should be killed on the spot, organize immigrants, and sweep the courts.

Conservatives, on the other hand, believe that resources should not be wasted. Daqin needs a lot of manpower to build. They think that they can be captured and used as concubines, or they can be used overseas while ensuring their reproduction, so as to ensure that Daqin has a steady stream of tools that can be used. It can even be used as a reward for Qin people who are willing to move offshore.As long as you are willing to move over, you can get farm tools and cultivate land.

In a lonely overseas place, even near the sea... No one out of their minds proposed to educate, integrate and absorb filthy people.

Well, the suggestion of Shu Suntong, who should be a modest gentleman, is even better.

He suggested that the filthy people could be castrated, but it was a pity that this proposal was criticized face to face by Wang Wan because Daqin's castration technology was too immature and the death rate was too high.

"Looking at it this way, the triangular trade is really not dirty..."

"Is this... my ancestor with abundant martial virtue?"

To be honest, Zhao Si was still hesitating whether he wanted to bring up the trade of farm tools, but the old ancestor was even better at it.

Either the country is subjugated and the species is exterminated, or it is breeding, squeezing and breeding...

Zhao Si suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have anything to suggest?
Moreover, Zhao Si is also keenly aware that Daqin's court is full of hostility!
It is indeed hostile!
The struggle that Zhao Si saw was in essence the successive Qin emperors deliberately instigating rivalries between father and son, teachers and students, and sects!
"The bad thing is...it really doesn't border Daqin..."

Zhao Si shook his head with a little emotion... but if it is bordered by Daqin and has the basis of direct rule, the ancestors would not do such a thing.
