Chapter 1365 Two Major Events
On the sea, Ounuo and Feiya never tire of watching the sea and sky. They like to stand on the bow and feel the sea breeze.
As hired experts, Ounuo and his wife have a high degree of freedom and can go anywhere on the ship.
They have been away from Rome for many days. Later, they stayed in Egypt for a while, and then sailed along the coast of Africa and entered the Indian Ocean.
There were several stops along the way. Ounuo and Feiya went ashore under the protection of the Qin soldiers and saw many different customs and customs. It was an eye-opener. They realized that the world was so big.
"Are we really standing on a ball?" The destination was getting closer and closer. Everything they saw and heard along the way was exactly the same as what the young Cai He described. At this speed, they would soon return to the Qin sea.
"Didn't you see the globe in Xiao Cai's study? That is the planet under our feet. The Qin people are really too smart. Their understanding of the world is deeper than that of the Greeks." Feiya didn't think much about it. She accepted everything without any obstacles. Anyway, the center of her world is her husband. Whether the world is round or square will not change her life.
But Ouno had too many doubts. If the world is round, why didn't they fall when they reached the southern hemisphere? Ouno had been thinking about this question in the Indian Ocean, and he couldn't figure it out.
"Maybe my doubts can be answered in Daqin." Ouno hugged his wife and said.
"It will be. Along the way, I saw that the Daqin people were really very polite. When trading, they never let those primitive-looking natives suffer. Such generous and upright people will definitely not be stingy with their knowledge."
His wife's words reminded Ouno of the scene of the Daqin people trading with the natives of Africa and India. Those dark-looking people were like monsters living in the dark, but the Qin people never cared about their appearance. They always exchanged things at a loss and gained friendship.
The Qin people's food, seasonings, and even weapons were all traded goods, and those dark-looking people could exchange for priceless good things as long as they took out local specialty plants or animals.
From this, we can see the character of the Qin people and the wealth of the Qin people.
Unfortunately, Ouno didn't know that all this only existed in the fleet.
"Look, it's the coast again. Are we going to dock again today?" Feiya said.
"Maybe."
It's going to dock, but not everyone is going to dock. The three ships didn't dock, but the small boat full of treasures did. This is already the Daqin Sea. These treasures will be sent directly to the Xianyang Palace by land.
Duran doesn't need these things.
"Have we reached Daqin?" The two stood on the deck and looked out, but they could only see some flags flying, with Qin written on them, the same as the flags on the ships, but those flags were brighter, different from the faded flags on the ships.
There were other people hired by Rome on the deck, including two Greeks, who were also curious to know what was on the coast.
In fact, the Daqin soldiers on the shore were also looking at the ships, because it was the first time they saw such a big ship.
"This is the ship of the great master."
"So big."
These soldiers have been waiting here for three days after receiving the news, and today they finally waited. Their mission is to transport goods to Xianyang, but they don't know what goods they are.
"Everyone come and help." They started moving things.
Everything was packed in lacquered wooden boxes, dead heavy.
The soldiers gritted their teeth and moved: "What the hell is this? It's so heavy. Could it be stone?"
"Don't make a sound, get to work." Another soldier said.
With a crash, the soldier who was moving the box fell down, and the box fell to the ground, and all the things inside were scattered.
It was golden, dazzling, too dazzling.
Gold, all gold.
Even if these soldiers were short-sighted, they knew what was in the box. This was crazy. There were at least forty or fifty boxes here, how much gold would there be.
For a while, the ground was covered with gold, and all the soldiers stood there in a daze, thinking of the ode to gold in their minds.
Even the general himself was stunned, obviously the goods were beyond his expectations.
Cai He frowned when he saw the eyes of the soldiers around him, obviously they could not resist the temptation of gold.
"These goods are presented to the emperor by the Grand Master. If there is any mistake, not only the First Emperor, but also the Grand Master will make you live a life worse than death." "You may not know the Grand Master's methods, but I can show you the methods of my disciple." Cai He had several silver needles in his hand.
He wanted to let these soldiers know how powerful he was and not to ruin the big thing.
The silver needles pierced the back of the soldiers' necks, and they immediately felt numb all over.
"I have sealed your acupuncture points. If this batch of goods is not delivered to Xianyang, you will all die. Gold is good, but it is not worth it if you don't have a life to spend it." Cai He threatened: "As long as you complete the task, I will naturally go to Xianyang to help you prolong your life."
Cai He's methods really calmed everyone, and they quickly put away the gold and continued to work.
Cai He's return and the exposure of the Grand Master and his wife collided with each other. For a time, the Qin Empire was turbulent, but the Xianyang Palace was still normal.
All political affairs were handed over to Li Si and Zhao Gao, and now they got two memorials at the same time.
One was that Fusu said the Grand Master had committed treason, and the other was that the gold delivered by the Grand Master's fleet was on the way.
It was all about the Grand Master. In the end, Zhao Gao decided to only upload the memorial about the gold. Anyway, the fake emperor would not do anything to the Grand Master. Fusu was a bit troublesome.
If Fusu knew that the memorial was not sent to the First Emperor, he would probably not give up. Fusu had to be eliminated quickly, Zhao Gao thought.
The fake emperor was very happy to know that a large amount of gold was about to be delivered to the Xianyang Palace, but he also wanted to know another more critical question: "Do you know if there are foreign beauties?"
"Your Majesty, gold is only a part of the things that are easy to transport. The other things will be sent to Sanghai City, and then they will be sent to Xianyang in batches."
"Ah?" He didn't want to wait, absolutely didn't want to wait: "I want to tour the east, and I want to tour the east immediately."
When Hu Hai thought of the foreign beauties and various good things in Sanghai City, he was completely calm: "Zhao Gao, is Fusu ready?"
Zhao Gao immediately knew that this was an opportunity: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid His Highness Fusu is not ready yet. He did not follow the original plan to make the route for the tour, but changed the route to the autonomous region."
"Bold!" The fake emperor slapped the table, with a bit of domineering power of the world: "How dare you treat my mission so slowly, Zhao Gao, how should I deal with Fusu?"
"Your Majesty, His Highness Fusu may not be able to move."
"Bold, the world belongs to me, who can't I move?!"
"Your Majesty, His Highness Fusu has the power of the farmers behind him." Zhao Gao said.
"No matter what kind of farmers or farmers, Zhao Gao wants you to kill Fusu." Hu Hai didn't care about the brotherhood at all.
"I know." Zhao Gao suppressed his evil smile and prepared to do something big.
