Under the eyes of everyone in amazement, Fusu took out a miniature version of the world map and hung it on the shelf

"What is this?"

Ying Zheng was the first to say curiously.

"Father, this is called the world map!"

Fusu explained with a smile.

World map?

There was a trace of confusion on Ying Zheng's face.

He understood the meaning of the map, and there were many of them in the imperial study.

But what is the world?

Ying Zheng stood up from the throne. Come, go directly to the world map, look at it a few more times and then ask:"How do you explain the world on this world map?"

"The world is actually the Great Kyushu. Fusu thought for a while and said:

"Father must have heard that in addition to the Little Nine Provinces where I, Great Qin, are, there is also a larger Great Nine Provinces, which is the world that I just mentioned!"

"In fact, although our Da Qin territory is vast, it is only a small part of the world. Besides Da Qin, there are many countries, and the largest ones can even be compared with Da Qin!"

"What nonsense!"

As soon as Fusu finished speaking, Zhang Cang jumped out with an unconvinced look on his face.

"Your Majesty wants to unify the six kingdoms and bring the whole world into the Qin Dynasty, with the Canghai to the east, the sun to the west, and the world to Qin. Any idea of a broader land is simply nonsense!"

Fusu smiled faintly.

This view of the Celestial Kingdom is not unique to later generations. Today's Great Qin is still the mainstream view.

Even the First Emperor was affected and stopped his enterprising spirit.

Otherwise, with the strength of Great Qin, how could it stop? Before, we had already established a bigger empire.

Now, let yourself change everything!

"Zhang Yushi came from the Confucian school, and he must have heard Zhuangzi's words, that is, a frog in a well cannot talk to the sea, as he is stuck in the void."

"Just because you haven’t seen it, doesn’t mean there isn’t one."

"I won’t say too much, but let’s just talk about how big this prairie is. Does any of you know how big it is?"

Fusu walked directly to the world map, pointed to the first and closest territory to Da Qin and said:

"This area was the territory of the Huns before, and now it is my new territory of Great Qin!"

"Although the Huns had a population of only one million, they had been nomadic for generations, living in pursuit of water and grass. The territory they previously occupied was thousands of miles in circumference!"

"And the entire prairie combined is not much smaller than the previous Great Qin!"

‘If you don’t believe it, you can compare it with the map yourself! Fusu glanced at the shocked people and said.

In the previous Great Qin, due to the fact that many areas had not yet been developed, even if Baiyue was included, the area was only more than three million square kilometers.

It is indeed no larger than the entire prairie.

Of course, now that Fusu is here, just destroying the Xiongnu will open up millions of square kilometers of territory for the Qin Dynasty.

Although the quality is not as good, the area has increased by one-third.

Looking at the area Fusu pointed to, even Ying Zheng couldn't help but take a deep breath.

As for the civil and military officials, they were even more shocked.

Everyone knows about the Xiongnu, especially after being destroyed by Fusu, they have a better understanding.

However, they only heard about the expansion of the land from Fusu's battle report, and did not have an intuitive understanding.

But now, with actual comparison, we can understand how great Fusu's contribution is!

However, this is only the beginning.

Fusu's hand pointed south along the prairie, pointing to the Maurya Dynasty, which was only separated from the Qin Dynasty by a mountain!

"Here is a huge country!"

"The scale is even larger than that of the previous Great Qin. Even with the newly incorporated Hetao area, it is still comparable!"

"This is the Maurya Dynasty!"

Fusu said.

Maurya Dynasty?

Ying Zheng's eyes widened and his whole body was shaken.

There is such a powerful country so close to the Qin Dynasty?

And he didn't know it at all!

Ying Zheng's heart was already silent. The long-held ambition was suddenly ignited.

Fusu smiled faintly.

At this moment, the Himalayas were still an uninhabited land, and both the Qin Empire and the Maurya Dynasty were daunted.

And the existence of this natural danger also made the Qin and Maurya Dynasties afraid. Although the straight line distance is not too far, there is no intersection at all

"Not only was the territory vast, but even the population of the Mauryan Dynasty was even greater than that of the Qin Dynasty, with a population of more than 30 million!"Fusu said

"What?

Li Si stood up in disbelief and said,"How can there be so many people in this Peacock Kingdom?""

"You know, the total number of people in Da Qin today is only 25 to 6 million?"

Ying Zheng's expression changed drastically, and he looked straight at Fusu.

These days, more people means a strong country and potential.

If the comparison of territories makes Ying Zheng dissatisfied, then the gap in population , which made Ying Zheng unable to remain unmoved.

"The reason is actually very simple!"

"Before the Qin Dynasty unified the Central Plains, the seven kingdoms had been fighting each other for hundreds of years!"

"The Maurya Dynasty happened to encounter a relatively peaceful period!"

"In addition, the territory of the Maurya Dynasty was basically plains, and it was to the south!"

"Their rice can be grown two or even three times a year!"

"Therefore, their food production is much higher than that of Daqin, and the number of people they can feed is even greater!"

"Closer to the Mauryan Dynasty is the land of Old Chu, close to the plains in the south. When the climate is suitable, rice can be harvested twice a year!"

Ying Zheng nodded. As an emperor, he has always attached great importance to farming.

Naturally, he understands that the reason why Chu State can become a powerful country with many people and rich people is related to the water and soil here. It is better than the land in Guanzhong. Much more.

This is why Yingzheng spent a lot of manpower and material resources to pacify Baiyue.

If Baiyue is not pacified, the Chu land will not be stable.

If it is not stable, how to engage in production, how to open up more fertile land, and plant More food coming?

Nei Shiteng's eyes were almost straight.

As a governor of Su Nei, he knew very well that although Da Qin had a vast territory, due to the fact that there were more mountains and less plains, the proportion of fertile farmland was actually not high. It could even be said that Very low.

Nowadays, there is actually a country whose territory is larger than the Great Qin in the past, but almost all of it is fertile land.

And the distance is not too far.

"Your Majesty, if we can occupy this place, let alone 20 million people, we can easily support five or ten times the number of people!"

"Your Majesty, this land must be taken!"

"This is the foundation for whether Da Qin’s foundation can last for thousands of years!"

Neishiteng was so excited that he almost forgot everything and started dancing...................................................................................................................................
