The debate in the court became more and more intense, and some court officials continued to oppose going to sea, but they were also constantly retorted by Huang Pan, Cheng Ren, Zhou Qingchen and others.

The court officials even had some hallucinations, as if Huang Pan and Cheng Ren had defected to the exiled immortal.

When the argument ended, Ying Zheng was a little impatient. He said to Li Shui: "Huai Guzi, what do you think you should do?"

Li Shui coughed dryly and said to Ying Zheng: "I think... encouraging the people to go out to sea will help find overseas fairy mountains. Perhaps you can let Your Majesty see the fairy pill a few years earlier."

As soon as these words came out, the court became completely quiet.

The ministers were speechless, and they really couldn't say anything. Because Li Shui had no way to refute this reason.

They could imagine that no matter who refutes, Li Shui would say that he was treasonous. Moreover, the reasons for the rebellion were obvious: preventing going to sea means preventing the Qin from searching for overseas fairy mountains, preventing His Majesty from living forever, and deliberately rebelling...

Huang Pan and Cheng Ren were already tired of debating. They took a breath, then looked at Li Shui with admiration, thinking: The exiled immortal is indeed an exiled immortal. The winner is determined in one sentence.

Seeing that all the civil and military officials in the court had stopped, Ying Zheng said lightly: "Since you have no objection, then the matter of going to sea will be settled."

All the ministers nodded and said yes, after all, there is nothing else to do except nod and said yes.

Ying Zheng left with satisfaction. The ministers began to disperse.

Huang Pan, Zhou Qingchen and others who had already supported Li Shui were naturally very happy. The people who were watching in the middle began to think about whether to send a group of people to sea to try their luck.

As for those who objected, such as Chunyu Yue and others, they walked out of the Political Affairs Hall with a lonely face.

Chunyu Yue looked at Li Shui and said with a serious expression: "Huai Guzi, I hope this strategy of going to sea will not harm the country and the people, otherwise you will be a sinner for the ages."

Li Shui said to Chunyu Yue: "Doctor, I am not a sinner for the ages. Instead, I saved the descendants of China a thousand years later. You should know that there are not only islands overseas, but also extremely vast land. If you don't manage those places, others will naturally operate them."

Chunyu Yue left.

Li Shui looked at his back and sighed slightly in his heart: "Although this disaster will only be revealed in two thousand years. However, paying attention to the mainland and ignoring the ocean's traditional thinking may not be the root cause. What I do today is to prepare for the future. If I correct the world's thoughts, it will be fine in the future."

Just as Li Shui thought of this, Li Xin patted his shoulder: "Brother Huai, don't pretend to be advanced. You guys have already walked away, and no one can see you."

Li Shui said helplessly: "Am I pretending? The whole world is drunk and I am awake alone."

Li Xin: “…”

This is the highest level of pretending, okay?

…………

Your Majesty's edict was officially issued, and it spread throughout Xianyang in one day. Within three days, it spread throughout Guanzhong. And from Guanzhong, hundreds of fast horses ran out in all directions, notifying all the prefectures and counties along the way. It was estimated that it would take less than half a month before the whole world received the edict.

Li Shui has another endorsement in Xianyang City, this time it is a public welfare endorsement.

The five sailors selected were known as the Great Qin Warriors, and each had a golden medal hanging around his neck.

These five people promoted the achievements of "opening the border", "finding treasures" and "killing thieves" in Chang'an City, which made some aspiring young people yearn for it.

In addition to promoting achievements, these five people also talked about precautions for going overseas.

After climbing a new continent, how to gain a foothold, how to find water, how to find food, and how to deal with local savages.

These things are very fresh, and many people come to listen to them every day. Especially those who plan to go out to sea to find opportunities, listen very seriously.

These five people do not charge for free, and even provide boiled water for free.

This made the court officials in Xianyang City nod their heads privately, feeling that Li Shui did a good job this time and did not blindly make money.

After more than ten days, the five people saw more and more listeners, and many of them were dignitaries who planned to fund merchant ships.

So they raised a question: "Above the sea, water and sky are connected, and there is nothing else. How can we distinguish the direction at this time?"

Someone said, "Of course I see the sunrise and the sunrises in the east."

The five people asked again: "What if it's night?"

Someone said, "Look at the North Star."

The five people asked again: "What if it is a stormy day? It is dark clouds during the day and no stars are seen at night. What should we do?"

These people were silent.

The five people sighed, looking lingering in fear: "This time we went out to sea, and when we came back, we encountered heavy storms. We had no direction for several days. Moreover, the wind was high and the waves were harsh, and the ships under us could not control the direction at all, and could only be blown by the strong wind and drifted freely."

"At that time, what I fear most was to lose my direction. I didn't know where my hometown was, and where the next land was. The food on the boat was about to be exhausted, and there was not much fresh water. Everyone was worried and was suffering in their hearts."

The words of these five people were taught by Li Shui. After being exaggerated by Wei Yang, they were particularly sad and touching.

Those who came to listen to the lecture were fascinated and their hearts suddenly became thrust. Some people even thought in fear: From this point of view, going to sea is very dangerous, and they will lose their direction as long as it is a stormy day. It is said that the sea is unstable, and it is windy and rainy at all times. In this way, it is a complete luck for Xu Fu and others to come back.

More than half of the people have already started to give up. Although Yinshan is good, it is useless to not get it back.

As a result, just as everyone was about to give up, the five people suddenly said, "However, the exiled immortal just developed an immortal weapon. With it, you don't have to worry about getting lost."

Everyone's curiosity was immediately aroused.

All five people opened the medal around their necks, revealing the compass inside.

They turned the medal at will and showed everyone: "Please look no matter where you are heading. This needle points to the north. This is a compass."

The audience exclaimed repeatedly: "With this immortal weapon, you really don't have to worry about getting lost."

"It is rumored that Huangdi fought against Chiyou and used to work as a compass to identify the direction. Now there are exiled immortals who are helping me to go to sea with great Qin. They are really outstanding achievements."

"It is said in ancient books that the former king established Si Nan to be the end of the day and night. I have always thought that Si Nan was a metaphor for things, referring to rules and regulations. Unexpectedly, there are really divine objects that can indicate the direction of the north and south?"

"In legend, this thing has been revealed with a small scale and a half claw, but no one knows how to make it. I didn't expect it to be made by the banished immortal today. It's really admirable."

Everyone sincerely praised Li Shui.

Suddenly, someone came back to the point and asked the five people: "Will the exiled immortal reveal the method of making this compass?"

The five people said, "This item has been applied for a patent. But don't worry, you can announce the use method in a year."

When everyone heard the word "patent", they gradually understood what was going on. Several people asked tentatively: "Then Shangjun Villa can sell this thing?"

The five people smiled and said, "It just so happened that Shangjun Villa was selling this thing."

"Please look, this medal is made of brass, with a flash of light. From a distance, it looks like gold. It is extremely wealthy. Buying a compass back is equivalent to getting the medal from Shangjun Villa. It is equivalent to being a warrior of the Great Qin that the exiled immortal personally certified."

These five people were talking a lot, and some people finally couldn't help asking: "Then, how much does this compass cost?"

As soon as this statement was spoken, the audience held their breath and focused. Everyone was actually mentally prepared. With the character of a banished immortal, they would not be able to kill you hard?

Those poor Guizhou leaders who plan to be sailors are fine. Those rich, powerful and powerful people who are preparing to sponsor their trip to sea must buy equipment on the ship. So they all listened very seriously.

The five people looked at each other, then smiled slightly, and said, "In order to implement the edict of Your Majesty to encourage going to sea, the exiled immortal specially announced that the compass is not worth the money and will be given to you for free."

"Wow..." The audience couldn't help but sigh.

Among the audience, several court officials showed incredible expressions: Huai Guzi, can you do such a thing? Could it be that I have heard too many stories recently and my ears were broken?

Some powerful men asked carefully: "Since we give it for free, can we take away the compass now?"

The five people waved their hands and said lightly: "Although the compass is free, it is not easy to cast the medal of the Great Qin Warrior."

"The medals are all selected for the best copper ore in the North and the purest brass extracted. The miners worked hard and sweated to mine the ore in the dark place. Then they braved the cold wind of Shuoshuo in the north and sent the ore to the smelter."

"The coal in the smelter is also dug out from the ground by craftsmen. It is the most dangerous to mine coal mines. There are fountains gushing out, toxic gases are coming out, or a fire suddenly ignited, or the entire mine tunnel collapses."

"As the saying goes, one pound of coal, five taels of sweat, five taels of blood, and five taels of tears from relatives. The remaining one pound is to smelter brass in a smelter."

"After the brass is burned and melted, the most experienced master must cast a medal. How hot the copper liquid is? The master is baked by high temperatures all year round, and his kidney sac is injured, so he is infertile. How desolate is there no child in his knee in his later years?"

The five people were crying, and the audience's eyes were red when they heard it.

At this time, they raised five medals: "This medal that condenses the blood and tears of countless craftsmen, symbolizing the honor of the Qin Dynasty. Do you have the heart to take it away for nothing? Can you take it away for nothing? Can your conscience agree?"

The audience shook their heads repeatedly.

The five people nodded with satisfaction and said, "Medals are not expensive, they are just one million yuan. I just think it is to support those hard-working craftsmen."

After hearing this, everyone took a breath of air: "One million yuan..."

Someone suddenly whispered: "I don't want medals, I just need a compass, is that okay?"

The five people said lightly: "The compass and the medal are connected together and cannot be given to others alone."

At this time, everyone understood what was going on. They couldn't help but curse in their hearts.

The court officials in the crowd nodded and said, "The Exiled Immortal, it's really a banished Immortal. Seeing that he is still so shameless, I feel much more at ease."

…………

In the evening, Li Shui was counting money under the lamp. In a day, he sold ten compasses and made ten million yuan.

This turnover is probably going to be jealous of merchants all over the world.

Xianglizhu sat next to her and sighed helplessly: "I have a passionate heart, wanting to go out to sea, make achievements, and expand territory for the Qin Dynasty. You are fine, it's okay to hide at home, but you even take the opportunity to make a fortune. What kind of world is this? Can shameless people get so nourished?"

Li Shui said: "When did I take the opportunity to get rich? The compass I worked hard to develop was given to them in vain. Can I find a second person in the world with such a noble character?"

Xianglizhu rolled her eyes: "Yes, the compass doesn't cost money, the medals are sold for one million. Are you playing with a monkey?"

Li Shui said seriously: "What? In your mind, are the four words "The Great Qin Warrior" not worth one million? Girl in Xiangli, when will you be a noble person like me?"

Xiangli Zhu: "..."

Li Shui continued to count the money again. After confirming the correct number, he shook his head: "I only sold ten compass, but it's still too few."

Li Shui said to Wu Jiao beside him: "Tomorrow, I will quietly release a message and say..."
To be continued...
