Chapter 8:
"What love? You have a ship, aren't you lying to me?”Li Shi Min was also excited. A ship? The sea was unknown to them, let alone a ship that could sail on the sea.
"It's just a blueprint. There's no ship. Besides, Chang 'an can't build a ship. Where can I find one?”Hearing this, Fang Yi 'ai quickly shook his head. It was true that there were blueprints in his library. There were many ancient weapons and equipment in the military history books. Fang Yi' ai had already started to organize these over the past few days. Coincidentally, she saw the blueprints of the western ships yesterday. The only regret was that there were no blueprints of Zheng He's treasure ship, which made Fang Yi 'ai feel disappointed for a long time.
However, it wasn't that he didn't have a complete blueprint. He only had the blueprints of the various parts after being disassembled. There was also a restored model of Zheng He's Treasure Ship in the library, but he wasn't confident that he could use it. He also had other blueprints. There were even steamships. However, he didn't plan to tell Li Shiming. If I set a fire under the boat, will the boat run away by itself?
"Is that true?" Li Shi Min and Fang Yi 'ai did not think of a place to put them. The land that Fang Yi' ai wanted to fight was the land in the Ganges River. That place could feed 100 million people with just a few seeds scattered there. There were countless people who could farm there. It was a treasure land, okay?
Right now, Li Shiming was only thinking about Goguryeo. He didn't think about anything else. He wanted to surpass Yang Guang. Although Yang Guang was a tyrant, the Grand Canal was still there. Who could ignore this thing? Although many people had died because of this thing, it had saved millions of lives. Even now, the Grand Canal was still in use.
"If Your Majesty wants it, make up your mind to train the navy within two years. Two years later, you can take down Linyi and feed the world. At that time, I have five million hectares of fertile land for Your Majesty to feed the people!”Fang Yi 'ai was referring to the northeast plains in the future, a place known as the granary of the world. This place could feed the entire Huaxia.
"What is it? Where is this place?" Wei Zheng almost knelt down. He had to take this place down. Although he was against using force, the two places Fang Yiai mentioned were really tempting. This place was really too good!
"Lord Wei, don't be anxious. The land is there. Although it can only be cultivated once a year, does Lord Wei think it's worth it?”This was inevitable. In ancient times, they fought to the death for the Central Plains, but no one had their eyes on the outside world. Such a good place was wasted.
"It's worth it. This is another Central Plains!”At this moment, Fang Yiai remembered that the Central Plains was also harvesting once a year. If they did not harvest twice a year, the value of this item would be too great. It was simply too much!
"Don't hide it anymore. If you have anything to say, say it quickly.”Li Shiming had been holding it in for the past few years. He was a soldier and was tired of being impeached every day. He should be walking on the battlefield.
"Alright, I'll tell you what I know!”Fang Yi 'ai drew a map, but he did not draw a world map. He only drew a map of Asia. It was good to have some ambition, but it was not good to be too ambitious!
" This place is called Lin Yi, and it's next to India, the ancestral land of Buddhism. However, it's no longer called that now. The climate in these two places is warm all year round, and the summer is hot. There's no winter at all. Moreover, this place harvests three times a year. Sow a handful of seeds and they can grow seedlings. With these two places in hand, it won't be a problem to feed the world with the existing land.”After pointing at the Indian Peninsula, Fang Yi 'ai changed her target.
Pointing at the northeastern plains, he said," This place is also a plain. The fertile soil here is the same as that of Goguryeo and a few other small countries. This place is filled with black soil, but the climate is cold in autumn and winter. However, it is a truly good place. Even a chopstick inserted here can grow into a tree, but they don't know about it, so they haven't cultivated it yet. What a joke.”
These Fang Yiai were right. There were three recognized black lands in the world. The first was also the largest. It was distributed in the Great Plains of Ukraine. The second was distributed in the Mississippi-River basin in North America.
The third piece was the black soil area in the northeast of China's Song-Liao River basin. It was also the smallest piece and was known as the important commercial grain base of China.
After Fang Yi 'ai finished speaking, she saw the ministers looking at each other, and their eyes began to light up. Fang Yi' ai ran out to drink with her brother. As for what they were doing, she said that they were not officials of the imperial court and did not know anything.
"Yiai, is what you said true?" Fang Yizhi was a little dumbfounded. He did not seem to know his younger brother. To be able to speak with confidence and reason in front of the Emperor was not something that an ordinary person could do. Moreover, he did not know anything about what he was saying.
"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to my brother? They only saw me lingering in City Well every day, but who knew that I was in City Well to inquire about such things? Although Big Brother and Little Brother didn't like fame and fortune, they had to leave something for their descendants. Although the Central Plains is good, their vision is too short-sighted. I won't say anything else. Let me toast to Big Brother!”The two brothers picked up their wine glasses and began to drink. As for the others, they didn't care what they did. In any case, they couldn't be blamed.
"Second Brother, are you not preparing to be an official? With your talent, your future achievements will definitely be above big brother's!”Fang Yi's eyes were filled with the passion of the emperor. He wanted to swallow his second brother whole. This attitude was only when he was still the king of Qin.
"If it was a chaotic world, I would definitely become an official and find a wise ruler to assist with all my heart. I would not seek fame and fortune, but only find a way for the people to live. However, now is a peaceful and prosperous time. A person like me entering the officialdom would probably only end up in a sad state. There is nothing bad about the market.”
"Do you have no confidence in my officialdom? Or am I not a wise ruler in your eyes and not worthy of your love's assistance? Doesn't Yiai have to give me an explanation?”Li Shi Min had appeared behind him and felt a little uncomfortable. He thought that he was a wise ruler, but now Fang Yi 'ai was not willing to assist him after his contribution?
"Of course, Your Majesty is a wise ruler, but does Your Majesty think that commoners care about fame and fortune? I don't want to be an official, let alone an official. My dream is to eat, sleep, and eat when I wake up. Don't call me if there's nothing, and don't call me if there's anything. Such a person is not suitable to be an official. Is Your Majesty satisfied with this explanation? Also, it was not a good habit to eavesdrop on others.”
Fang Yi 'ai stood up and shook her head. She didn't expect that he didn't remind her to come down. She rolled her eyes at her big brother and bowed to Li Shi Min.
"Fang Yi 'ai!"
"What's wrong? Does Your Majesty want to force me to become an official? Isn't Your Majesty afraid that I'll cause trouble?”Fang Yi 'ai was willing to go all out for the sake of her idle life.
