Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 317

It was an obvious excuse, but neither Ying Zheng nor Li Si saw through it, and Zhao Yi also saw through it, and his heart was full of slander.

[Hehe, old man Xun is quite good at thinking of reasons, but he is also right, how to estimate without a map. 】

[It's just that even if there is a map of Daqin today, if you show it to you, you may not be able to tell why. In this era, there is no scale, and there is no way to estimate it. 】

[Let me think about it, I have seen the world map of Da Qin at that time, it seems like this...]

world map?It was the first time Yingzheng heard this term, and when he saw the map that appeared in Zhao Yi's mind, he immediately felt ill.

Although the map in Zhao Yi's mind was not marked in detail, the general names of the country and places still emerged on the map.

When such a map appeared in Ying Zheng's eyes, His Majesty the Emperor of Qin was stunned.

In Yingzheng's heart, he originally thought that the territory of the Great Qin was already broad enough, and if the grasslands were included in the territory of the Great Qin, then the Great Qin would already encompass the entire world.

But when he saw the map that appeared in Zhao Yi's mind, Ying Zheng realized that he was wrong.

It turns out that the territory of the real world map is so vast. Compared with the map, the territory I thought was nothing.

The entire world was so large that he couldn't imagine it, which made Ying Zheng so excited that he almost asked Zhao Yi on the spot what these places on the map meant!
But there were so many people in front of him that it was inconvenient for Ying Zheng to ask these questions, and it was too abrupt to ask. After all, until now, no one knew that Ying Zheng could hear the secret of Zhao Yi's heart.

An resisted the excitement in his heart, Ying Zheng raised his glass happily and said with a smile: "What Patriarch Xun said is true, the map of Daqin you want, next time you go to the palace, I will show it to you. At that time, it will not only be the map of Daqin, You will be able to see the map of this world!"

Ying Zheng's words didn't cause much commotion, but when they fell into Zhao Yi's ears, Zhao Yi looked sideways at them.

[Oh, yes, it seems that the old guy’s vision is still different than that of guys like Li Si. 】

[It is the emperor of the ages, although there is no concept of region, but I must have heard the things in Siberia and overseas before, and the old things are still in my heart. I am afraid that I have arranged black ice warriors to investigate everywhere. Otherwise, how could it be? Speak these words out! 】

【Looks like I have to work harder. The shipyard in Kuaiji has already set up a fleet of oceangoing ships. It shouldn't be long before I can go to the Wa country for a walk, and the Wa country will be occupied by the way. 】

[When the Wa country is built as a bridgehead for the Great Qin to go to sea, and the number of warships is doubled, it will be able to travel eastward to America! 】

Although Zhao Yi has always acted like an idle fish, he has always had a vision for his future.

For some things, even if he doesn't do it now, someone will do it in the future. Instead of doing that, it's better for him to do it now.

Being able to travel to all corners of the world in my lifetime is not a great joy in life!
Just as Zhao Yi was thinking, Li Si had already quarreled with Xun Zheng on other issues.

When Zhao Yi came back to his soul, he was surprised to hear that they were actually arguing about the system of selecting officials, so he suddenly became interested.

The topic was brought up by Feng Quji, but it was Xun Zheng and Li Si who were arguing. Both Ying Zheng and Feng Quji were just watching the play from the sidelines and did not express their opinions. Zhao Yi naturally chose to join Ying Zheng's camp.

Xun Zheng's attitude is naturally based on the interests of the aristocratic family, hoping that the court will keep the current system of selecting officials unchanged.

But Li Si disagreed. He believed that the imperial court should recruit more talented people. It should not be dominated by aristocratic and wealthy families. Instead, more outstanding scholars from poor families should be allowed to join the imperial court and become fresh blood.

The two sides represented their respective camps and drank a few more glasses of wine, so they started to quarrel, and no one was convinced by the other.

Xun Zheng had already forgotten Li Si's identity at this time, waved his hands, and yelled at Li Si regardless of Xun Miaoke's obstruction: "Wrong, what you said is wrong!"

"Children of aristocratic families have received the best education in the Qin Dynasty since childhood. Only people like them can enter the court and the court can run smoothly. However, scholars from poor families may not even be able to recognize the characters. What can you expect from people like this? What can you bring to Da Qin?"

"Of course, it is not impossible for poor families to enter, but they must go through strict selection, otherwise they will enter the court in large numbers, and they will only mess up the good court!"

Li Si shot up, "Absurd, what you said, Xun Zheng, is entirely based on the interests of your aristocratic family. Do you dare to say that if the children of these aristocratic families enter the court, they won't make a mess of the court?"

"It's not good for a family to be dominant, only by letting more disciples from poor families enter the court and broaden the wisdom of the people, can Daqin have hope!"

“Ignorance!”

"Then let the children of the aristocratic family divide up the country's resources in the court for the benefit of their respective families and seek benefits for the aristocratic family. Then why does the imperial court support these aristocratic children? Is this the imperial court of the aristocratic family or the imperial court of the Great Qin Dynasty?"

Li Si's words instantly attracted everyone's attention. No one expected that Li Si would actually say such words under the influence of alcohol. For a while, the banquet became extremely silent.

Xun Zheng was also stunned. He even woke up from his drink. Seeing everyone looking at him and Li Si with strange expressions, he finally came to his senses and couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry when he thought of what he just said.

It's all to blame on this turtle grandson, why don't you say anything, but drink a few more glasses of wine and argue with yourself, and it's still in front of the Great Qin Emperor, it's like dying!
But Li Si didn't let him go, he really drank too much, the wine in Prince Zhao Yi's residence was not covered, especially what Li Si drank was the highest quality wine.

A dull gourd-type person like Li Si usually keeps his words hidden in his heart, but once he becomes unrestrained, he really dares to spray out everything, making Ying Zheng look stupid.

Zhao Yi couldn't stand it anymore and arranged for his servants to take Li Si down to rest and sober up. However, this guy actually grabbed him and held on to him while yelling loudly.

"His Royal Highness, tell me, what I just said, er, isn't it right? Shouldn't poor families in the world be allowed to be officials in the imperial court, and should be allowed, er, to let the sons of aristocratic families, er, do whatever they want in the court?"

Zhao Yi's eyes went dark, he didn't expect that the fire at the city gate would affect the fish in the pond, if he knew this, he shouldn't have given Li Si such a high-quality wine!
