Generally speaking, the current situation of going out to sea near the East China Sea of ​​Langya has begun to appear.

The princes, princes, princes and emperors who lived in Xianyang seemed to be deaf about these things. They occasionally saw them through newspapers and only learned through newspapers that two sea boats returned from Yingzhou and brought back precious sea treasures such as tortoiseshell pearls and corals, which attracted wealthy people to watch and loot in Langya, etc., or some hearsay news, huge waves in the East China Sea, a large ship capsized in a certain sea area, etc.

These news is fragmented and not systematic. Therefore, although it has been more than two years since the news of North Korea and Yingzhou was discovered, there was no news about the immortal grass of the sacred mountain, and there was no big news. What I heard was that Yingzhou and North Korea were wild and deserted islands.

Xianyang lives in the West. In the past two years, from the emperor to civil and military officials, all the officials have paid attention to their contacts with countries such as the Western Regions and the rapid development of Xianyang. Few people have taken the initiative to pay attention to overseas developments such as Yingzhou.

Moreover, the news of this era is blocked. If the court had not reported urgently, it would take at least twenty days for a piece of news from Langya to Xianyang. If it was sent back from Yingzhou at least half a year, even Chen Xu, who was very concerned about sailing, was slow to react. When many things were heard from a few months ago, they could only shake their heads and throw them away. No matter whether these things are serious or not, they have become less important, not to mention that he has so many things that he can't care about them at all.

However, today Yu Wuya returned and all the news was clear. It was time for him to start the super project he had planned thoroughly.

Moreover, according to Yu Wuya, the fact that Gongsun Beiyan established the Wei Kingdom in Yingzhou has been secretly spreading around Langya. Many well-informed people in the Central Plains must have known it. When he came back this time, he secretly heard a lot of activities in the first six kings, the nobles of the first six kings, were even secretly contacted Xiang Yu. After Xiang Yu came back this time, he took his cousin Xiang Jing, he found, back to his hometown. Although he didn't know what the ending was, it must be related to these.

In other words, as precious minerals such as gold, silver, sulfur and other precious minerals were discovered in Yingzhou, which stimulated people who made money from private exploration to go to sea, there was another group of people who were also ready to move, with the ulterior motives of building a country overseas and restoring the country.

However, in Chen Xu's opinion, these are destined to not succeed.

But these people's secret trouble may also affect the overseas development of Daqin.

After all, the activities of these people cannot be made public, and they are also a hostile relationship with the Qin Dynasty. While developing overseas, they may target those merchant ships going to sea, and in order to raise funds, weapons, food, and people, etc., they will become a group of pirates who occupy the island to fight for their families and rob the king.

Therefore, Chen Xu decided to suppress this unhealthy trend in advance.

Or, it is to give these six kings, nobles Sun, who can be placed on the surface, put them under the jurisdiction of the court, and allow them to establish their own marquis overseas, so that they will gain a huge force to explore overseas.

However, this matter must be taken slowly, at least there must be sufficient reasons to convince the emperor and civil and military officials.

Otherwise, you may be labeled as a big conspiracy in the end.

After leaving the restaurant, Chen Xu staggered to the study in a bit drunk, stuffed more than ten memorial books he had compiled into the cowhide bag he brought every day. Then, under Chunxiang Qiuxiang's service, he took a shower and changed clothes, and hugged one of them to bed.

The next morning, Chen Xu got up early and arranged the kitchen yard to prepare various delicious food to entertain Yu Wuya and a group of young men from the musket team who came back with him. Then he took a bus to court. After entering the city, he ordered a guard to go to Qinghe Hotel to ask Fan Kuai to buy a fat dog in the meat market. At noon, he went to Qinghe Villa to make his best dog meat pot.

In the morning court, Chen Xu had transported the silver and sulfur from Yingzhou back, and reported to the emperor about Qi Mao and others' discovery of the gold mine.

The discovery of gold mines in Yingzhou also caused a huge wave in the court.

"Your Majesty, there are gold, silver ore and other goods in Yingzhou. We must not be allowed to be plundered by the civilian merchants and gentry. We must be under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu and the imperial court!" An official of the Shaofu stood up and shouted excitedly.

"Well, what do the right prime minister think about this?" Qin Shihuang looked at Feng Quji.

"All the kings under the world are kings. Your Majesty, I think this is the case!" Feng Quji stood up and spoke seriously.

"It's reasonable for the right minister to say that all the mines and forests are under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu. Shipping goods require commercial taxes. How can these merchants occupy the gold and silver mines at will!" Several second-rank and third-rank officials stood up to post.

"Your Majesty, Yingzhou has not been a territory of China since ancient times, and it is located thousands of miles away from the East China Sea. It is a wild and isolated island. If these merchants had not invested huge amounts of money to build ships and ventured out to sea, even a piece of wood could not be transported back to the Central Plains. I think that we should not take advantage of gold, silver and wealth. Gold and silver mines are not only available in Yingzhou, but also countless islands outside the South China Sea, and countless Western countries. If they all have to be occupied, let alone the Qin Dynasty's staff is not enough to develop. The cost of transportation and development alone cannot be supported by the court and the Shaofu..."

"Yesterday, I have asked my retainers in detail. Although the gold mine is not small, it will take at least tens of thousands of people to develop it. The Central Plains and Yingzhou are more than 3,000 miles apart. All the way back and forth is to be shipped, craftsmen, helpers, miners, tools, food, clothing, medicine, etc., all need to be prepared and transported back and forth all year round. When ten taels of gold are transported back, they may end up in less than one tael in the hands of the court and the Shaofu. It is really not worth the loss. Therefore, I think it is better to prepare the Customs Office as soon as possible, set up the customs office in place, and rent and sell all these mines and islands by license. The court will get at least 10% of the development income without paying any price. Why not do it..."

Chen Xu analyzed the pros and cons of this matter and proposed to accelerate customs construction and include overseas development in the scope of the court's management as soon as possible.

"It's reasonable for the left minister to say that Yingzhou is too far away and inconvenient. It's better to quickly set up the customs office and issue licenses to the public to develop Yingzhou. Where is the order of the Ministry of Personnel? Last time, the left minister recommended that the Customs Office Chief Li You have not yet entered the capital to perform his duties?" Qin Shihuang quickly recognized Chen Xu's proposal.

"Your Majesty, Li You's transfer order has been issued for eight days. According to the time, it will be estimated that it will be reported to the Ministry of Personnel in the past two days!" Shen Gongyan stood up and answered.

"Appoint this matter quickly and don't delay it. What else do you have to report?" After a sudden look at something, Qin Shihuang quickly changed the subject.

"Your Majesty, in order to cooperate with the preparations of the Customs Office and the development of overseas trade, I proposed to set up seaports and construction of dock warehouses and other supporting facilities in the southeast coastal counties last time. However, after some consideration, I thought of a bigger plan. The plan memorial is here to request His Majesty to read!"

Chen Xu picked up his bag from the seat and started to take out the planner from the inside.

One...two...three...four...

As Chen Xu took out more and more memorials, the civil and military officials and the First Emperor began to twitch and grin, and the sound of surprise came one after another. Finally, he watched Chen Xu turn over and shake his leather bag. After confirming that there was no inside, he carefully looked through the planning books, and couldn't help but frown and mutter softly.

"Ta...Tai Shi, are these memorials that I want to read?" Emperor Shin-Emperor looked at the thick stack of memorials in Chen Xu's hand, and couldn't help but his calves were a little twitching, and a hint of fear appeared on his face.

In the past, the memorials were all bamboo and wood. Even if one stone was reviewed every day, the number of words was only more than 2,000 words. However, the meaning of the word needs to be considered, so it is quite exhausting. Now that there are hemp pulp paper, the memorials and documents across the country are copied from hemp pulp paper, so they are written in more detail, making it much easier to read. But now Chen Xu took out more than ten volumes of the bag, and the number of words is less than 100,000 words.

This is a memorial, not a novel like the Fen Shen Bang. Every word needs to be read carefully. Therefore, if you want to read all this thick stack of memorials, the First Emperor felt that it would take at least seven or eight days of free time, and the most important thing is... you may not be able to understand it.

Because Chen Xu's memorials usually have many new concepts, words and even incredible ideas, and cannot be inferred based on common sense. They need to be repeatedly considered and even ask Chen Xu personally.

Therefore, when the Emperor Shin-Emperor thought of such heavy labor, he started to shudder from the bottom of his heart.

"Your Majesty forgive me. There were originally a total of sixteen memorials, but one of them might have fallen in my study. I will submit the memorials to the court tomorrow!" Chen Xu bowed to the First Emperor with apologetic expression.

"It's okay!" The First Emperor secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead and waved his hand to sit down, holding back his beating heart and said, "Since I have prepared so many memorials, I can't finish reading it for a while. Why don't you tell me a general description of the planning matter first so that I can look clearer tomorrow!"

"It's good, before telling, please allow your Majesty to take the map placed on the carriage!"

"Come, go to the Taishi Car to get the map!" Emperor Shi ordered.

"Here~" The envoy who was guarding the gate of the palace walked away quickly. After more than ten minutes, he carried a roll of map. Chen Xu ordered the two palace servants to spread it out. On the cloth two feet long and eight feet wide, there was a geographic map of the main water system and the traffic of the Qin Dynasty.

Several major rivers, including the Liaohe, Haihe, Yellowhe, Huaihe, Yangtzehe, Zhejiang, Pearl River, etc., are clearly drawn with blue pigments, while several roads connecting the world are drawn with red pigments, and many of the places are marked with important city names in black.
