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

Chapter 227 The first batch of gold and silver from Fusang was transported back to Daqin!
"Ishijian Yinshan and Zuodu Jindao have been found!"

Shi Huang was the first one to get the news among them, and Zhao Si was the second, because Zhao Si was sitting next to Shi Huang at this time.

With the help of Jing, Lin Baiyu found Iwami Yinshan and Zuodu Treasure Island, and carried out emergency mining.

"Silver rolls on the stone wall, and gold grows everywhere..."

In the report sent by Lin Baiyu, even the river flowing nearby was glowing with golden light, and the golden sand was shining in it.

These two rich mines have not yet been systematically excavated. How rich are they?
It only took Lin Baiyu more than a month to mine, and he transported back a full seven ships of gold, silver and copper mines!

Seven ships!
A whole seven ships!
Now that Fusang has no time to build a large-scale deep-smelting plant and a mine furnace, Lin Baiyu can only simply purify the rich ore he found and then transport it back directly.

What is the concept of seven ships? When Langya handed over and unloaded the goods, the local county magistrates were stupid. They rushed to the county guard and organized the county soldiers to guard the port to count the ore for transportation.

The gold and silver brought back last time was Xu Fu's ten-year accumulation. Although it was exciting, it was a bit like windfall and unsustainable.

Therefore, even if the civil and military officials make a fuss, there will be no follow-up.

This time it was different. Two rich ores were discovered directly, and after a little mining, they were directly transported back to seven ships.

It is conservatively estimated that the value of these seven ships of ore is tens of millions of dollars.

The most important thing is that this is a rich ore that can be mined sustainably, not the windfall like the last time Xu Fu was suppressed.

To put it bluntly, once the mining chain is successfully implemented, the gold and silver mines in Fusang alone can increase Daqin's annual financial revenue by half or more.

Now Daqin's total fiscal revenue in one year is only about 20 billion yuan.

Among them, high taxes and salt gold mines accounted for the bulk.

So, sending so few people out for a trip can directly increase the annual income by half?
Also said that overseas is not full of gold?After reading it, the governor of Langya wished he could go to Fusang to dig mines with his hoe on his shoulders. At the end of the memorial, as expected, he directly stated that he could collect corvee and go overseas.

"What do you think?" Shi Huang threw the bamboo slips to Zhao Si.

Because paper is given priority to the government of Xianyang and Emperor Shihuang, and the laws of the Qin Dynasty are printed, local governments that are relatively remote like Langya still use traditional bamboo slips for office work.

At present, the memorials received by the First Emperor are made of paper or bamboo slips.

Some bamboo slips have no paper available, and some are temporarily unusable, but it is foreseeable that with the gradual expansion of paper production capacity, bamboo slips have begun to be slowly and spontaneously eliminated by society.

"Sit and watch..." Zhao Si spread his hands.

"Baiguan will definitely not be able to resist writing a letter to open the sea..." Zhao Si sighed.

With so much fiscal revenue generated from such a small place, if the civil and military officials of Daqin can still sit there, then they are good at nourishing their energy.

Whether it is a civil servant or a military officer, who doesn't want more fiscal revenue, and who doesn't want the boss to allocate more funds to the department?
Either it is to suppress the brothers' departments, and the brothers' departments allocate less funds, and their own departments allocate more funds, or to increase the company's profitability. The more profits, the more funds that can be allocated.

No matter whether it is a practical official or a corrupt official, no one can live without money. Everyone hopes to give themselves as much budget as possible.

The difference is that corrupt officials think that they can be more corrupt if they allocate more funds, while competent officials hope to use more money to do more practical things.

"Don't talk about hundreds of officials... I want to send corvee to explore overseas." Shi Huang waved his hand, feeling a little uneasy.

With so much money here, it's impossible if you don't have any other ideas.

Fusang is so unique in terms of mineral resources. Japan is located at the junction of the Eurasian plate and the Pacific plate, which creates the illusion of a wide variety of mineral resources in Japan.

In fact...it's not that rich mines are gathered overseas, but rich mines are gathered in Fusang. In this era, even if a new continent is discovered, there are very few things that can be done.

"However, with these seven ships of gold, silver and copper mines, we will not be hindered in the future development of the sea." Zhao Si smiled.

The Daqin Kaihai Project is currently represented by Zou Feng with full authority, and has a rough departmental prototype, but it has not become independent.

How much resistance is there to set up a separate department?
Haven't seen a leaf in the sea yet? After investing so much, still want power?
Now, the rewards come, and so do the benefits.

The formation of departments related to maritime affairs seems to be a matter of course. Next, according to the character of the first emperor, this money bag must be independent of the Sangong Jiuqing. Not surprisingly, Daqin will soon have another one similar to the Black Ice Terrace. A department directly under the imperial power.

There must be resistance, but the resistance is especially ridiculous under the offensive of gold and silver.

This is the God of Wealth!
Overseas, there are two rich mines, Iwami Yinshan and Zuodu Jindao, which are really eye-catching. What if the financial allocation is not available?
"When it comes to the maritime agency, it really should be independent."

Now everyone can see that overseas is a big independent project. It is no longer possible to borrow a person from the east and transfer a soldier to the west as before. It must be independent.

"Choose a name..." First Emperor Mosuo looked at the globe on the table and smiled.

It is really a happy thing to have a big increase in financial income.

Zhao Si was taken aback for a moment, well, the first emperor did it with ease, fortunately, reading novels in his previous life was not for nothing, Zhao Si was not good at naming names, but he could copy them! (Gentlemen, let's play it)

Zhao Si thought carefully about the novels he had read in his previous life, and fell into deep thought.

……

On the other side, the civil and military officials who followed the first emperor to tour the world also fell into a climax collectively.

"Xu Fu is really good at picking. There are gold, silver and copper mines all over the place... It is said that there are too many to count, and there are not enough people to mine there." The Confucian scholar beside Shu Suntong expressed emotion.

"I'm supposed to speak to Your Majesty, and then issue corvée to mine gold and silver..."

"why do not you talk?"

"I'm already writing the memorial!" Shu Suntong smiled.

There were already enough corvees in the Qin Dynasty, and Confucianism never praised Qin's heavy corvees, but Shusun Tong knew how to be flexible.

There is not enough manpower to mine gold and silver, so what are you doing there without starting corvée?
Waiting for gold to give birth to little gold there?Why don't these gold and silver be transported back to Qin as soon as possible.

Shusun Tong even volunteered, so he recommended himself, wanting to personally organize corvee labor along the coast and go overseas.

Of course, that's his point.

Shusun Tong is very politically sensitive, and he knows that with the gold and silver mine being transported back to Daqin this time.There will inevitably be a big wave overseas.

Surrounding such lucrative overseas interests, a brand-new political organization will definitely emerge, and Shusun Tong will not hide it. What is the importance of face at this time?
On the other side, Li Si, Zhang Cang and Chen Ping sat around the case.

"Zhao Si's words are unconstrained, but he never speaks big words. I heard about overseas gold, silver and copper mines. I guessed many, but I didn't guess so much..." Li Si shook his head. He looked at Zhang Cang helplessly.

"Your Majesty didn't intend to suppress the news, but now the trouble has fallen on me." Li Si sighed.

The first emperor didn't intend to suppress the news. To put it bluntly, it was to show the destiny of Daqin.

Luck is sometimes a part of destiny.

The recent changes in the Great Qin Dynasty, coupled with the discovery of rich gold and silver mines overseas, combined with various things, anyone would think that the first emperor was really destined by destiny.

This has a positive impact on public opinion in Daqin, and there is no need to suppress it, and it even needs to be widely publicized.

It is to let everyone know how much God cares about Daqin. After all, this is the ancient times of feudal ignorance. With so many halo buffs added, it can really increase the stability of Daqin's rule.

It's fairy grain, it's from gold and silver mines, and there are all kinds of high-yield grains. Who doesn't tremble when they see it?
People in the world will believe it... Qin's civil and military officials may even believe it even more.

My mother's destiny is added to me. I have everything overseas. Why don't I go overseas?The place where the Xiongnu and Nanyue don't shit is worth so much corvee?
They even wished they could take down a door panel and carry a hoe to dig mines by themselves.

As for the excited mood of the officials, Li Si, the leftist, was needed to suppress one or two.

This kind of emotion is good at present, and it has strengthened the centripetalism of civil and military officials, but it is not a good thing to allow this kind of emotion to continue to develop, and Daqin cannot be controlled by this emotion.

"It's too late!" Zhang Cang nodded.

"Great Qin is still out of reach for overseas. In the long run, only slaves and gold and silver mines are worthy of Daqin's mobilization overseas... People have a day to catch them, and gold and silver mines have a day to mine them. In the long run Let’s see, if the Hetao area and Lingnan are completely incorporated into the territory of the Great Qin Dynasty, it will leave a legacy for a hundred years and a thousand years!” Chen Ping also expressed his opinion.

Overseas is too far away, even near the sea, it cannot bear big turmoil and twists and turns.

However, if counties are set up in Lingnan and Hetao areas to develop for decades or hundreds of years, then these lands are the inherent territory of Daqin, and they can continue to grow food year after year to feed more people.

And from the perspective of governance, it is definitely easier to rule inland and inland.

Chen Ping's idea coincides with Zhao Si's idea of ​​developing domestic and plundering overseas.

"However, it's still a good thing..." Zhang Cang smiled.

"Besides, it's autumn now. It's the time when the Xiongnu's cattle and sheep are fat and strong. After breeding, there may still be disputes in the Shangjun area, so it's not appropriate to act rashly." Zhang Cang looked up at the endless sky.

Autumn is high and crisp, which is the time for the nomads to send troops south.

They need to plunder enough resources to survive the cold winter within a limited time.

"Dispute?" Li Si sneered.

"If there are no accidents, it won't take long before we can receive the good news from Shangjun!"

Stirring saddles and horseshoes, the Xiongnu were waiting for the end of the autumn cattle and sheep to reproduce and grow fat and strong, and Daqin was also processing and adding more horses, saddles and horseshoes to build heavy cavalry.

This time, we will completely smash the bones of the Huns!
