Chapter 61 Ye Chi’s vicious plan—the road to overseas colonization!
"Your Majesty, look at this place. It's called the Mediterranean Sea! It's the intersection of the three continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa. It has an extremely important geographical location."

"Its climate is mild and pleasant, with distinct four seasons, plenty of sunshine and moderate rainfall. It is truly a blessed land given by God."

He paused and continued, "The soil around the Mediterranean is fertile and suitable for the growth of a variety of crops. People grow olives, grapes and other crops here, and the yield is quite good. In addition, this place is also rich in various rare medicinal materials, spices and other materials. The trade is prosperous, and countless countries stand here, and the people live and work in peace and contentment."

Everyone listened with fascination, as if as Ye Chi spoke, their thoughts had drifted away and were now on that fertile land.

There was a sharp light flashing in Ying Zheng's eyes. He stared at the Mediterranean Sea on the map, and an indescribable pride surged in his heart.

Want to conquer it!!!

Fusu and others were also shocked. They could not imagine that there was such a magical place in the world.

Gongzi Gao couldn't help but ask, "Sir, is the Mediterranean really so rich?"

Ye Chi smiled and nodded, "Yes, the Mediterranean is indeed a land of great natural beauty."

Everyone was even more shocked when they heard this.

They knew that what Ye Chi said was true, and that the Mediterranean must be a new world full of infinite possibilities and opportunities.

Finally, Ye Chi's finger slowly moved westward on the map, crossed the vast ocean, and finally stopped at the land of America far away from the Eurasian continent.

He took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, if we go west and cross the vast ocean, we will reach the land of America. The soil there is fertile, the climate is diverse, and the environment is unique, which breeds countless rare things."

"People grow corn, potatoes and other crops here, and the yield per mu is astonishing and rare in the world!"

When everyone heard this, they all looked shocked.

They really couldn't imagine that there was such a magical place in this far overseas! !
Isn't this the immortal residence that my father has always wanted? Is it the blessed land of caves and heavens?
After all, in their eyes, America is just a huge island.

And Ying Zheng stared at America on the map with a burning gaze, as if he wanted to see through that land.

"Could this be the fairy island that Xu Fu mentioned?"

Hearing Ye Chi's description of the richness of America, he was excited and suddenly remembered the legends of fairy mountains and immortals recorded in ancient books. He couldn't help but ask anxiously: "Ye Chi, since you know the general situation of the world, let me ask you, are there fairy mountains and immortals at the end of the sky and the end of the sea?"

The voice was majestic, yet contained a hint of desire that was difficult to conceal.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chi shook his head lightly, his expression full of solemnity, "Your Majesty, although I am not talented, I dare to assert that there are no immortal mountains or immortals in this world."

"The land we are on is called Earth, and it is named so because it is shaped like a sphere. If we start from a certain point and keep moving forward, we will eventually return to the starting point, so there is no end!"

Ye Chi's words were like a drop of cold water on his head, instantly extinguishing the enthusiasm in Ying Zheng's heart.

He looked disappointed and could hardly hide his loss.

The young masters looked at each other, not daring to say a word, and fell into silence.

Ying Zheng pondered for a long time, but still unwillingly continued to ask: "Ye Chi, since you said there are no immortals, doesn't that mean the immortal medicine is also a lie?"

His voice revealed a strong sense of unwillingness and doubt.

Ye Chi sighed lightly, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the so-called elixir is really nonsense!"

"There are no immortals in this world, so how can there be immortal medicine?"

"Those so-called elixirs are mostly made from natural materials such as gold, stone, and plants, and refined through fire."

"Many of them contain poisonous substances, such as liquid mercury and metals. If taken for a long time, not only will it extend your life, but it will also corrode your internal organs and endanger your life!!" Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's face changed drastically and his eyes widened in disbelief.

As the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, he has always had great expectations for the dream of immortality!
However, at this moment, Ye Chi's words woke him up from his dream.

He felt an indescribable sense of loss and frustration, as if he had lost some important support.

The young masters were also shocked. Looking at their father's loss of composure, they couldn't help but feel an inexplicable panic in their hearts.

They knew that their father had always been very persistent in his pursuit of immortality, but now he was told that it was all false, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to him.

Ying Zheng was silent for a long time, and finally spoke slowly: "Ye Chi, are you serious?"

His voice revealed deep helplessness and unwillingness!!!
Ye Chi nodded and said affirmatively: "Your Majesty, everything I said is true. Although the dream of immortality is beautiful, it is ultimately empty."

When Ying Zheng heard Ye Chi's words, he felt as if he had been enlightened and a chill came over his heart.

He sighed, thinking of the elixirs made by the sorcerers in the Qin court, and Xu Fu who often presented them...

He has always firmly believed that these pills can prolong his life and help him achieve immortality, so he took them according to the rules and never had any doubts!
At this moment, hearing what Ye Chi said, Ying Zheng woke up as if from a dream and was shocked!

He pondered for a moment, his face gradually became solemn, and he decided to bring Xu Fu back for personal interrogation after returning.

"There are so many poisons in this elixir? I have been kept in the dark. If I take it according to the law, wouldn't I be digging my own grave?"

Ying Zheng took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, and secretly said, "After returning, you must bring Xu Fu here immediately. I want to interrogate him personally to see what kind of elixir he refined, and whether Ye Chi's words are true or false!!!"

Fusu and the others were also startled at this moment. They knew that their father's mood at the moment was probably very bad.

Therefore, everyone kept silent, not daring to speak, and bowed their heads obediently.

Ying Zheng turned his gaze to Ye Chi again and said, "Ye Chi, I will verify what you said."

"But there is one thing I don't understand. What does what you just described have to do with filling the treasury of our Great Qin?!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chi smiled slightly and explained slowly, "Your Majesty, the reason why I described the situation in all four corners of the world in detail is to point out a clear way to fill the national treasury, colonization!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the curiosity of Ying Zheng and the other princes was instantly ignited, and their doubts were evident in their words.

colonial?

This is a word they have never heard of...

What exactly does it mean?

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes revealing a probing look.

He had been familiar with various classics since he was a child and considered himself knowledgeable, but at this moment he had to admit that this unfamiliar word made him feel a little confused.

However, he did not lose his composure, but stood firmly in place, with his hands behind his back, waiting for Ye Chi's next words.

The young masters also looked at each other and exchanged puzzled looks.

For a moment, the school was silent and everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Chi.
