The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

Chapter 509: The Qin Dynasty Conquering the World

"Oh my! You guys are amazing! You easily killed those terrifying monsters!" The farmers came forward and praised happily.

"There is no greater joy than being a shield for the weak!" Spartacus responded with a bright smile.

"Well, that's a bit extreme, but there's really nothing we can do about it." The guard said, feeling a little frustrated at his own incompetence. "Without the Emperor's majesty, I wouldn't be able to deal with that thing on my own."

“So, is it that guards like you are armed in order to guard the village?” asked Holmes.

The guard scratched his head. "There aren't many things we need to deal with. At most, we just have to chase away the stray dogs or wild boars that stray into the village."

"Don't we need to prepare for war with other nations? For example, the Xiongnu, the Baiyue, and so on?" Holmes asked tentatively.

"But the guard looked puzzled: "What is that?"

"Ah, you mean the place where outsiders come?" another farmer laughed. "Not somewhere here... I've heard the elder say that before. He said he heard it when he was a child, too."

Holmes frowned. "Wait a moment. What exactly do you mean by 'outsider'?"

"It's a monster that looks similar to us, but is scarier than a wild boar... but we've only heard of it."

"They said they wouldn't eat the crops in the fields, but would dig out our gallbladders and eat them."

“So when you first arrived, we thought you were going to be caught and eaten. Sorry.”

"The farmers were explaining all at once."

"Isn't that just some kind of weird legend?"

Holmes immediately realized that the villagers' understanding of "outsiders" was completely different from his understanding of "foreigners."

"He gave a look to the Chaldeans, said goodbye to the many villagers, and returned to the car first."

"After communicating with them, I finally understood that in this Lostbelt, there's no such thing as a nation. It's so ancient that even the rumors have become vague."

"Plus, they've never heard of weapons, and even the various races in the village have them... I can be absolutely certain that in this Lostbelt, the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty has already conquered the entire planet!"

"As Holmes finished speaking, the entire planet Earth appeared on the sky."

"The black color symbolizes the Qin Empire. Initially, it encompassed only a palm-sized territory. Gradually, it encompassed the grasslands, swallowed up Southeast Asia, conquered South Asia, absorbed West Asia... Europe, Africa, North and South America, Australia, and Antarctica!"

"Finally, that blackness enveloped the entire planet."

"..." Ying Zheng stared blankly at the planet in the sky. "Is this the planet we're standing on? So the Great Qin originally only occupied such a small area on this planet."

Then, an indescribable ambition burned in his heart.

The Qin Dynasty in another world can conquer the whole world, so there is no reason why he can't!

They are both the First Emperor, why is he weaker?

impossible! Absolutely impossible!

"General Wang, General Meng, are you two old generals still able to fight?"

The elderly Ying Zheng turned around and looked at Wang Jian and Meng Wu, two equally elderly men, and spoke with his blood boiling.

The two old men: "..."

They are already this old, why are they still fighting?

Do you really treat them like beasts of burden?

"Your Majesty, actually, my son is also good at fighting." Wang Jian recommended his son Wang Ben.

"Me too." Meng Wu pointed at his son Meng Yi.

Unfortunately, Meng Tian was still stationed at the Great Wall, so there was no way to drag that guy out to take the blame.

"What are you two old generals afraid of? With the blessing of the Fertility Star God, we are still young, hahahaha."

"However, what the two old generals said is true. We should indeed give young people some opportunities."

Ying Zheng laughed out loud.

Now he has a goal to strive for again!

Just this Great Qin...is not enough! He wants the entire planet!

…………

"As expected of the First Emperor." Liu Che's eyes gleamed with excitement.

Then an idea popped into his head.

This planet, Ying Zheng can conquer it, but Liu Che can’t?

Hit! You can hit anyone!

"General Wei, Marquis Guanjun, I want you two to conquer this world for me. Is it possible?"

Wei Qing and Huo Qubing immediately expressed their excitement: "We will not refuse even if we die!"

If they could conquer the whole world, their names would be engraved in the history of Chinese civilization!

Sang Hongyang looked at the scene in amazement.

No, is it finalized?

You guys should at least ask me!

No money! Really no money!

Besides, you should consider the Imperial Wall!

The so-called imperial wall refers to the place that the army can reach about 100 days after setting out.

Within this range, the empire can exercise direct rule, otherwise the state will lose the ability to rule directly.

Think about it, they have already rebelled and declared themselves king, and it took five or six months for us to receive the news. How can we still rule?

It would be better to treat that place as a vassal state and collect tribute from it.

Many people think that tribute is just China showing off and throwing money around to the barbarians like an idiot.

But Sang Hongyang knew very well that the so-called tribute was really bloodsucking!

To give a simple example, suppose the Dayuan Kingdom in the Western Regions sent a batch of Ferghana horses.

The Han people wanted these BMWs very much, so the Emperor waved his hand and said:

A good warhorse costs a thousand taels now, and I won't cheat you. Even though a Ferghana horse is a bit more expensive, it's five thousand taels each. But the Han Dynasty doesn't have that much money now, so let's use treasures as collateral.

Look at this branch. I picked it myself from my back garden. It's imbued with my dragon energy and is priceless. I'll pay it for one million taels of silver and use it to exchange for these BMWs. The extra money will be a reward to you.

This is called tribute.

Of course, most of the time it is not so shameless. At least some ceramics, silk or something like that will be given as gifts... Of course, cheap goods are used to pretend to be high-end goods.

Look, how great this tribute system is!

Why bother spending money and effort to take down that place?

However, Sang Hongyang also knew that it was impossible to persuade him at this time.

Liu Che is in high spirits.

If you try to persuade him at this time, you will most likely be accused of "Do you think I am not as good as the First Emperor?"

It’s better to wait until Tianmu is finished and then give advice in private.

…………

Li Shimin seemed much calmer.

He was just confused.

"How on earth did the First Emperor in the sky manage to rule the entire planet? Many places are completely beyond his control!"

He looked at his ministers, but could only see confused faces.

"Perhaps... it's because of the other world? After all, that world isn't an ordinary world."
