Chapter 229 Let the Xuanniao flag be planted all over the world!
Ying Heng remained calm and did not rush to show off his killer move.
He changed his angle and continued asking questions.
"Father, what do you think of the Legalist governance philosophy that was promoted by the Qin Dynasty during your reign?"
The First Emperor snorted coldly: "Humph! Compared to your Confucian appearance and legal heart, it is slightly inferior."
"Father, do you think the teachings of the Hundred Schools of Thought can be used by our Great Qin?"
The First Emperor responded impatiently: "Get to the point, I have already seen the ingenious things you made using the Mohist way!"
Ying Heng said calmly: "In this case, what do you think of the idea of letting the people study, letting the farmers work with peace of mind, the merchants trade with heart, the officials pursue their careers, the scholars study science and technology, hiding the wealth among the people, and letting hundreds of millions of people become the driving force for the progress of the Qin Dynasty?"
The First Emperor said calmly: "It's acceptable, but only barely."
“It’s a good idea, but you have to understand that reform is not easy!”
"When you proposed these changes, I'm sure you encountered a lot of resistance from the scholar-official class?"
"Shang Yang, who was so wise in his reforms, still could not escape death, let alone a little prince like you?"
"If you really want to realize your grand ambitions, reform the legal system, and build the Qin Empire, you need an emperor who can intimidate the ministers as your backer. That's me!"
"Without my support, do you think you can succeed?"
The First Emperor's words were full of confidence and he believed it without a doubt.
However, Ying Heng responded with a smile: "I did encounter some resistance when I proposed the reform."
"But then..."
"By the way, I have a secret army of 3,000 people called the Imperial Guards. Father, you should have heard of it, right?"
The First Emperor's expression changed slightly, he actually forgot this key point.
"Once the Royal Guards take action, no one in the court will dare to oppose me!"
"Moreover, these Jinyiwei are now spread all over the country!"
"The old lands of the six kingdoms, the hundred schools of thought, the lands of the Xiongnu and the Baiyue, all have spies from my son!"
"As for other aspects of support, Father, you seem to have not considered it carefully?"
"You are already the captain of the Great Snow Dragon Riders, so you must be well aware of its strength."
"Do you think that with such an army, who else can pose a threat to me within the territory of the Qin Empire?"
"Whether inside or outside the court, whether inside or outside the Qin territory, anyone who is unruly will listen to the thundering hooves of my Great Snow Dragon Riders!"
hiss!
When the First Emperor heard this, he couldn't help but gasp!
This domineering attitude is not inferior to his!
Just as Ying Heng said, the three thousand Snow Dragon Riders alone are indeed an invincible army.
If Ying Heng had not planned to hold a funeral for himself and promote him to emperor today, the First Emperor might have been leading the Snow Dragon Cavalry to sweep across the grasslands at this moment!
Seeing his father's expression change, he was silent for a long time.
Ying Heng knew that he could not refute it, so he continued to ask: "Father, now that the laws and regulations have been revised and improved, the future of each school has also been clearly planned."
"Then I believe you have heard about the invention of paper, the improved plow, the ironware, and the refined salt that I invented."
The First Emperor nodded silently.
His first impression of his son when he left Hangu Pass was that he was good at making all kinds of strange things.
At first, he thought these inventions were of only minor utility and would have no significant impact on governing the country.
But as time went by, he gradually realized that all of these things were part of an interlocking scheme carefully designed by Ying Heng, and each link had its own profound meaning.
Ying Heng continued: "However, what I just mentioned is just the tip of the iceberg."
"In the past two months, I have developed new products such as cement, glass, steel, various medicinal materials, and red bricks. I believe Your Majesty is not aware of these, right?"
The First Emperor shook his head: "I have not heard of it."
"Your Majesty, you know that the northern border of the Great Qin is the Xiongnu and the endless grasslands, but do you know where is north of the Xiongnu?"
The First Emperor shook his head again: "Unknown."
"Your Majesty, you know that we are in the land of Baiyue, and to the east is the Ryukyu Sea." "Then, have you ever heard of what is south of Baiyue?"
The First Emperor shook his head again: "I don't know."
"Your Majesty, do you know that Xu Fu led 3,000 boys and girls out to sea and escaped to the Penglai Fairy Island?"
The First Emperor nodded slightly: "I feel a little bit."
"But do you know that there are not only the three Penglai Islands on the sea, but also countless vast continents on the other side of the sea?"
"Some of them are even several times more vast than the territory you know, from the Xiongnu in the north to the Baiyue in the south?"
The First Emperor's eyes widened and he asked in shock: "How is this possible?"
"Is this world limited to the territory I know?"
"There is actually a land that is several times larger than my territory?"
The father and son sat on the ground in the forest. Ying Heng picked up a branch and casually drew a world map for the First Emperor.
"Your Majesty, we are here."
He used branches to depict the territory of the Qin Empire: "This is the border between the Xiongnu and the northern grasslands."
North of the Great Wall, he carefully drew the outline of the grassland.
"This is the ice sheet of the north."
Further north, he mapped out a vast region of Siberia.
"To the west of the ice sheet is a fertile land. Today, there is a powerful country there called the Roman Empire."
Afterwards, Ying Heng carved out the area where the white-skinned, tall people lived on the map.
At this time, the First Emperor had taken several deep breaths and stared at the map intently, as if he had forgotten to breathe.
"Beyond the Qin Dynasty, there is such a vast world?"
"Your Majesty, your surprise seems to have come a little too early."
"Please read on."
"This is the North Pole. There is a huge landmass here that is no less huge than our own. It is called America. This is South America."
“This is Antarctica!”
"This is Feizhou!"
"here it is……"
As the First Emperor was amazed again and again, Ying Heng showed him the whole picture of the world one by one.
Finally, he pointed to the current map of Daqin again and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you think of our Daqin now?"
The First Emperor shook his head with a blank look in his eyes and whispered, "Too small, so insignificant!"
"So, Father, do you want to make it bigger?"
A fiery light flashed in the Qin Shi Huang's eyes for a moment, and he stared at Ying Heng intently.
"You mean you want to bring all of the Xiongnu's grasslands into our territory?"
Ying Heng smiled lightly, shook his head, then picked up a branch and drew a huge circle around the map.
"I want all the land on this planet. Everything within our sight and within the reach of the Qin army will be included!"
"Let our cavalry army conquer every continent in this world!"
"Let the ships of the Qin Dynasty sail across every ocean in the world!"
"Let our Xuanniao flag be planted in every corner of this world!"
"What do you think?!"
