Chapter 349 Send a ship to the West! The great navigator Zhang Liang!

Many merchants and caravans need to travel to and from various places. Although most places have people who know where to go, it is very easy to get lost once they reach some sparsely populated places.

Just like in the desert, often only the most experienced people can find the way out.

The compass invented by Zhao Tuo directly solves this problem. Although it may still not be able to reach the destination accurately, at least it will not deviate from the general direction.

Zhao Tuo originally invented this thing for the purpose of sailing, but because of its function, it quickly became popular among merchants and the army.

"General Zuo, is the compass invented by His Majesty still in the Tianji Pavilion?"

"I'm afraid I'll have to go to Tianji Pavilion to find out. It is said that Master Liu, who is in charge of the compass in Tianji Pavilion, has been anxious recently. It seems that there are not enough craftsmen.

At the time of the imperial court, a group of generals gathered together to discuss the compass. This thing is not very useful for civilian officials, but it is absolutely useful for military generals who need to lead the army.

However, the generals of Daqin had no way to get them all. It was naturally even more difficult for the merchants in Xianyang City to think of it. It is said that the price of this thing was directly raised to dozens of taels of gold in Xianyang City.

Zhao Tuo didn't mind the takeaway of the compass, because this matter was an order issued by Zhao Tuo himself. As for the lack of the compass, it is true, because this thing needs to be finely polished, and it may be broken accidentally.

Above the main hall, Zhao Tuo and the minister discussed the territorial issue after the destruction of Goguryeo.

"What do you guys think Goguryeo should do?"

Goguryeo was destroyed, but it left behind a lot of territory. Although Goguryeo was much backward compared to Daqin, the peninsula where it was located was no worse than Liaodong and other places.

And since the south of Goguryeo is close to the north of Kyushu, this place cannot be abandoned at will.

Meng Yi looked at the silence of the ministers and walked out directly.

"Your Majesty, according to the views of the ministers, it is good to set up counties and counties and let officials govern them.

Feng Quji glanced at Meng Yi and walked out.

"Your Majesty, in addition to what Meng Xiang said, I think it is possible to set up Jinkou to connect ships with Jiaozhou Bay in Jiaodong County, so as to stabilize the remnants here and defend against the barbarians in the north."

Other ministers also began to express their opinions.

After listening to the opinions of the ministers, Zhao Tuo laughed. Everyone's opinions Zhao Tuo also roughly understood. In general, he established a county, opened the mouth of Jin, moved the people of eastern Liaoning to the island, and escorted slaves to the island. wasteland.

The former Hexi County had 100,000 slaves, and this Liaodong Peninsula would probably need at least 200,000 slaves to open up wasteland.

"Since this is the case, we will set up four counties, Lelang County, Xuandu County, Zhenfan County, Lintun County..."

"The governors of the four counties (bjba) and the commanders are all held by Daqin officials, who are ordered to be replaced every three years.

"Lelangjinkou was also opened, echoing with Jiaozhou Bay from afar, and re-starting the Nanjin Ferry, connecting Kyushu to the north of Jinkou.

"Conquering 200,000 tribal people who are isolated from Daqin from the land of Nanyue, and let them enter the peninsula to open up wasteland.

After Zhao Tuo finished speaking, the matter was settled.

Since then, there is no longer the name of Goguryeo, only the Liaodong Peninsula in Daqin. At the same time, some tribes in the land of Nanyue who once resisted Daqin were also sent to the Liaodong Peninsula by Zhao Tuo.

Although Daqin's control over the Liaodong Peninsula is not as good as that of the counties before Daqin, it is much stronger than Nanjun. At least Daqin's army can easily reach the Liaodong Peninsula by boat from Jiaozhou Bay.

The land of Baiyue can only be accessed by water unless it is a dangerous road, and the complexity and twists and turns of the waterway doomed that Daqin's army could not enter Baiyue in large numbers.

"Presumably you all know that some caravans from outside the Western Regions have come to Xianyang.

"Do you still think that all people outside Da Qin are barbarians?"

Zhao Tuo looked at the minister below and said with a smile.

The ministers below looked at Zhao Tuo, and then they started talking. Everyone was talking about the world map that Zhao Tuo had brought out before.

"Is there really such a big place besides Daqin?

"If it weren't for His Majesty's map, I still can't believe that there is such a big world outside these four directions!"

Zhao Tuo watched all the ministers bow their heads and did not dare to talk and laugh. Zhao Tuo did not mean to embarrass everyone, but just wanted these ministers to have some ideological changes.

"I intend to send a treasure ship into the sea to communicate with Western countries on my behalf, Daqin. I wonder if anyone would be willing to do it for me?"

A group of ministers who were originally discussing suddenly fell silent. Although everyone began to believe in the world map, everyone was still a little reluctant to think of leaving the country. Only one person still smiled and walked out.

"Chen Zhang Liang is willing to go to the West by boat for His Majesty!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at Zhang Liang in surprise.
