In the restaurant, Chen Xu, Ying Shiman, Meng Wan, Xinger and Yu Ji sat around a long dining table. There were several pottery trays on the table, and the plate was filled with steaming and fragrant black pepper steak. Each of them held a knife and a bamboo fork, and they were eating happily while cutting the steak like Chen Xu.

There is also a small table next to it. Four little maids, spring, summer, autumn and winter, are squeezing together and sharing a piece of steak. This is the preferential treatment of the personal maid. What the owner eats, they eat, and they are full. The reason for the fullness is that there is too little steak and not enough distribution.

Everyone was happy to eat because they had never eaten such delicious beef.

Especially the two little girls, one of them didn't satisfy their desire after eating half a piece, and they started to deal with the second piece with two knife and fork, and they ate all over their mouths of pepper sauce.

After Chen Xu's excitement passed, he slowly became a little excited and even absent-minded while eating the pure steak.

Without Yu Wuya, the big foodie, the whole Hou Mansion was not lively. Even after Wukong returned to Xiaohe Village, he did not come back with He. I don’t know which mountain to go to find the mother monkey.

Without water gentleness and Yu Wuya, Chen Xu felt that he could not lift his spirits.

"Honey, eat it quickly. You said you should eat the steak while it is hot. If you keep it for a long time, the meat will become old and it will not be delicious!" Ying Shiman, who was sitting next to her, put down her knife and fork and said gently.

"Okay, you must eat it while it's hot!" Chen Xu came to his senses and started to eat it in big mouthfuls.

After accompanying his family to finish the delicious steak, Chen Xu invited the housekeeper after having a tea break and asked him to arrange someone to go to the city to buy dozens of kilograms of high-quality fresh beef tomorrow morning. At the same time, he asked someone to invite Li Xin, Jiang Hu, Jiang Bu and others to tomorrow's lunch. In order to make the atmosphere more lively, he arranged for someone to invite Xu Fu, Chen Ping, Yang Kun, Ying Bu, Sun Shujiu, Huangfu Que, Ma Gan, Gongshusheng, Hu Kuan, Fan Caiying and Fan Caiwei to the banquet, preparing to open a black pepper steak party in a lively manner.

In order to make this steak feast more high-end, atmospheric and high-end, Chen Xu also specially drew a metal knife and fork style for someone to send it to the factory, arranged for hemp rods to be created quickly, and arranged for people to go to the glass workshop to retrieve a set of high-legged glasses specially customized for drinking wine.

After arranging these, Chen Xu entered the study in the afternoon, took out the globe that had been sealed for more than a year and began to carefully recall the situation in the Western Regions almost the Qin and Han Dynasties and the general situation in West Asia and Europe, and marked the general locations of the Rest Empire, the Mauryan Dynasty, the Kingdom of Macedonia, the Roman Republic, Egypt, and Greece.

Since it is a globe, I have to think of an excuse to explain that the earth is round. After thinking for a long time, Chen Xu ordered someone to find a piece of fine linen and decided that it would be better to prepare another plane map of the earth.

Since ancient times, Chinese people have believed that the sky is round and the place is round.

Since Qin Shihuang cast half a tael of coins, he has shown his ambitious ambition to unify China.

The circle of the sky and the square of the earth, the nine states and all the seas are the land of the Great Qin, and the coins of the six countries can be abolished.

Therefore, if Chen Xu rashly held a globe and told the emperor that the earth was round and the sky was not square, and humans were just living on a small ball floating in the vast universe, the explanation would naturally be difficult to explain.

Otherwise, where is the heavenly realm? What are the gods?

Therefore, this ball... needs to be carefully considered. One day, the earthlings finally discovered that the earth is round. When they look at the globe, they will suddenly realize that it turns out that Qinghehou is indeed a disciple of the immortal family. He has long known that the earth is a ball.

Since he was planning to say that Chen Xu was going to make it clear this time, and to tell the pattern of the Qin Dynasty and the current situation on the earth at once. As for Qin Shihuang’s belief or not, it is not a big problem, because it is indeed not difficult to verify. In addition to the difficulty of reaching the American continent, Asia, Africa and Europe are basically connected together. In history, only a hundred years later, Zhang Qian went on a mission to the Western Regions, not only brought back the details of the Western Regions, but also gradually began to trade with West Asia and Europe, opening up the famous Silk Road, and expanding the Chinese people’s horizons to most of the earth. Rome’s gold coins and African black slaves began to appear in the Chinese people’s vision.

After half a day of busyness, a huge world map that was eight feet wide and two feet long basically had a rough prototype, and it could only be a rough prototype, because Chen Xu also drew many of them with vague memories, and many of them were wrong, but these were not important. What is important is that Qin Shihuang could know that the earth was extremely vast and the Central Plains were just a corner.

The world is so big, there are still many places worth checking out.

The advantage of broadening one's horizons is to let Qin Shihuang know how narrow-minded and ignorant it is to focus on the Central Plains on this acre of three-point land to compete with the suffering people.

...

When the Hou of Qinghe was treating guests, the person who was invited was naturally honored. Therefore, the next morning, Chen Xu had just finished breakfast and was about to hide in the study to continue to improve his world map. The guard suddenly came to report, and the Hou Jianghu of Yinshan and Jiang Bu, the chief of the Grand Sect, came to the banquet.

Chen Xu looked at the sun that had just risen speechlessly, sighed and went out to greet him.

Damn it just to have lunch, is it necessary to be so active? It's just the morning. If it weren't for the busyness recently, I would usually be sleeping in at this time.

"Haha, when I heard the Marquis treat him yesterday, Hu was so excited that he didn't sleep well all night, so he rushed to the banquet early!"

Seeing Chen Xu coming to greet him in person, Jiang Hu, who was black bearded, white-faced, wearing a martial arts crown and a brocade robe, smiled and greeted him and bowed.

"Jiang Bu pays homage to the Marquis of Qinghe!" As Jiang Hu's deputy general and always wearing pairs of pants with Jiang Hu, Jiang Bu followed him and bowed quickly.

"Haha, the two generals are exempted from the gift!" Chen Xu also smiled happily and bowed back to the gift.

Jiang Hu and Jiang Bu are both military generals, so they are more flexible when going out. They ride tall and strong Hun horses, and not many followers, with only seven or eight personal guards. Chen Xu asked the welcoming manager to take the two guards to arrange refreshments, and he personally led the two newly-rise generals to the living room with a chat and laugh.

In the living room, the host and the maid served incense tea and candy pastries. Chen Xu asked in detail about the war last autumn, and Jiang Hu and Jiang Bu also explained it carefully one by one.

"The Marquis is a brilliant idea. The lake is surrounded by a Fengshui treasure land, with fertile fields and abundant water and grass. In addition, Yinshan blocks the wind and sand in the northwest. It is not only suitable for grazing cattle, sheep and horses, but also fertile soil and is extremely suitable for reclaiming and growing grain. Now, counties are established, and 200 million soldiers are sent from the four border counties to station Shuofang County. 30,000 prisoners migrated from the Central Plains to build canals and cultivate wastelands. In addition, there are 50,000 Xiongnu captured. It has been less than half a year since then. The day before yesterday, I heard that the land reclamation has reached 30,000 hectares. After the spring sowing, the crops are growing well... "

The three of them chatted while drinking tea. After talking about the war to fight against the Huns, Jiang Hu was deeply moved when talking about the current northwest form.

"Now the Huns and Donghu in the northwest have been defeated by our Great Qin. Just as the Marquis said at the beginning, there will be no war in the northwest in the next few decades. When we returned to the court, we heard that the Marquis had married and returned to Nanyang to visit relatives and worship their ancestors. His Majesty rewarded us with countless money, grain, real estate and real estate. Xianyang set off divine thunder and fireworks to celebrate for three days and three nights. However, because the Marquis was not here, I waited for a grateful feeling but could not talk to the Marquis. I was a little listless when I drank and feast every day. Until I heard that the Marquis came back, I felt much more at ease!" Jiang Bu smiled and helped.

Jiang Bu turned out to be a commander under Jiang Hu. After attacking Hebei last spring, he killed Touman Shanyu. His military achievements were so exhausted that of Da Shang. After the autumn, his military achievements were upgraded to two levels to Da Shuchang. The long-distance Marquis of Da Shu was only one level different from the long-distance Marquis of Guannei. It can be said that as long as there is another similar battle, he can kill an enemy of a comparable level, and it is definitely a perfect choice for him to be a marquis.

Unfortunately, the war in the northwest has been completed.

As the saying goes, a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. No military general does not want to be a marquis. Once he is granted a marquis, he can be granted a wife, a son and a marquis to his descendants. As long as the Qin Dynasty does not fall, he will be the top nobles of the Qin Dynasty for generations to come.

But if the title of marquis cannot be granted a marquis, the title of Dashuchang cannot be hereditary. When Jiang Bu dies, his children and grandchildren can still inherit real estate, but without a title, they can only be a commoner. If they lose their protection, their family will inevitably begin to decline soon, and the status of the nobles will plummet.

If Jiang Bu wants to go further, it is not enough to just hug the emperor's thighs, because the emperor's thighs are already full of people, and even every hair is covered with princes and nobles of the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, it is crucial to hug the thighs of the Qinghe Hou. As long as he is favored by the Qinghe Hou, he will be just around the corner to be named a marquis in the future.

The most important thing is that before the last war, Chen Xu revealed a great opportunity to Jiang Bu and Jiang Hu alone, that is, to manage the Western Regions. This huge donut stimulates Jiang Bu and Jiang Hu to sleep well, but they can't spread the word everywhere. Both of them are almost prostatitis.

I came to the banquet so early today, so I was naturally not just trying to take a good place to have a meal in advance, but I had other plans.

Chen Xu naturally knew the plans of the two.

"My Qin Dynasty is honored by military merits. The two generals' official titles in the two wars have become extremely prominent. It is not difficult to go further. But as I said last time, this matter needs to be discussed for a long time..."

"Report, Marquis, Marquis Di Dao comes to the banquet!" Just as Chen Xu was about to talk to Jiang Hu and Jiang Bu about his next plan, the guard and manager came in to report.
Chapter completed!
