Chapter 182 The World Map Drawn by the System
The General of the Cavalry glared back.
He simply wanted to use this thing to fight a beautiful battle.
Upon seeing this, the Minister of Works rolled his eyes and stepped forward, saying, "General of the Cavalry, if you are to realize what you just said, one of these little gadgets is not enough. Therefore, it would be best if this thing were handed over to our Ministry of Works first."
Upon hearing this, the General of the Cavalry thought it made sense.
General Wei Hu was anxious.
Finally, he spread his hands, his legs went weak, and he sat down on the ground with a thud.
Everyone was stunned.
Wow, you can do that?
"Your Majesty, I don't care. If I don't have this thing, I'll just smash my head against that pillar and die today. Anyway, I'll die sooner or later, so I might as well just die here now."
The old emperor calmly sipped his tea. Having been emperor for over twenty years, he had seen many such scenes.
"Chen Decai".
"Your Majesty, this servant is here."
"Have the Imperial Astronomical Bureau quickly calculate another date for the voyage."
The Minister of Rites exclaimed in surprise, "Your Majesty, the voyage ceremony for tomorrow has already been prepared."
"If it's ready, then it's ready. Just take the stuff back and put it in the warehouse, and we can take it out and use it again next time."
The old emperor pointed at the telescope and said, "One of these is far from enough. They will benefit many places. Let's use them within the court first, and then we can mass-produce them and sell them abroad."
The Minister of Revenue's eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up.
"Your Majesty, your insight is brilliant."
The old emperor was truly foolish.
The officials instinctively covered their ears. They didn't hear anything Shen Zhiyi said, so Shen Zhiyi could continue to berate him.
The old emperor was furious.
He's so clever, how could he be stupid!
Telescopes shouldn't be mass-produced.
What would ordinary people want with this? You can't eat it. Most of the people who buy it are rich people who use it as a toy. So, you have to limit the quantity and play the scarcity marketing game.
The Minister of Revenue's eyes lit up repeatedly, and he looked at Shen Zhiyi as if she were a treasure.
The newly appointed Minister of Personnel felt that this gaze was very familiar, just like the one the Minister of Revenue had used to look at him.
"Your Majesty!"
The Minister of Revenue shouted.
The old emperor raised his hand and pushed the other person back; he knew, he knew.
What Shen Zhiyi said makes a lot of sense.
Things are valued for their scarcity, so this item should be released to the public in smaller quantities. Ideally, it should be put up in an auction house so that merchants can bid on it.
The old emperor, who would do anything to make money, was very pleased with his idea.
"Ahem, alright everyone, come and take a look at this map, especially those of you who are familiar with the area depicted on this map. See if there are any differences. If the differences are not significant, then these should be fine."
What the old emperor was referring to was, of course, the vast territory that the Hippo Kingdom had been expanding westward into.
The General of the Cavalry had a burning gaze.
"I never imagined that there would be such a vast land beyond the Western Regions. I wonder if it is suitable for farming. Your Majesty, I thought it was all desert."
[That is indeed a vast desert. Once it's no longer a desert, it will be too far from Da Ye.]
[However, I support continuing the attack. Although I can't enjoy it myself, I still really hope that the future people of this place won't have to learn some foreign language.]
Everyone: It's such a simple reason, but for some reason it also reveals a strange sense of greatness.
However, the maps drawn by these people with their own eyes are always not accurate enough; there are still some discrepancies.
All the officials looked at Shen Zhiyi with great enthusiasm.
Now that you know there's a problem, why don't you quickly volunteer to improve this map?
General Wei Hu's eyes burned even more. He could deduce from Shen Zhiyi's thoughts that the artifact system must contain a map of the entire world.
What a temptation!
With the map and a telescope, he felt confident that his voyage would go smoothly.
[System, how come I just realized this map looks like a game map? It even marks where the gold mines are and what crops are available...]
The entire court of civil and military officials trembled.
Holy crap, a gold mine!
The old emperor was getting restless.
Shen Zhiyi, tell me quickly where the gold mine is!
That night, the people of Daye were very excited.
The people of Hippo Country are suffering.
The system that was criticized for creating map-like game maps: ...
Please forgive me, before he met Shen Zhiyi, he was the system in the game.
The professor believed his abilities were fully developed, so after discovering this world, he deployed him here. However, he didn't expect to have such a bad start, encountering a bug right away!
Although fixing bugs is a very difficult task, no responsibility can be neglected!
This world map was the first assignment he submitted.
Uh, it hasn't been submitted yet.
The system shuddered as it thought of the stern-faced professor.
He began to humbly inquire about Shen Zhiyi.
[Host, what do you think a satisfactory world map should look like?]
Shen Zhiyi was busy looking for gold mines and gave a perfunctory reply.
"Hmm, someone like you... But if possible, next time I see how much silver someone has in their private treasury, I suggest you just show me the numbers directly."
[Take the silver in the private treasury of the Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies, for example. Every time I count it, I fall asleep while doing so, and now I have no idea how much silver is in his private treasury.]
The Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies was dumbfounded.
No, Shen Zhiyi, why are you looking into other people's private belongings?
There always needs to be some distance between people.
The newly appointed Minister of Personnel couldn't help but mutter, "Be content, I didn't see you go to the toilet."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but feel affection for the newly appointed Minister of Personnel.
Just as the Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies regained his balance, he looked up and saw the old emperor's ambiguous smile.
He was drenched in sweat.
[Dear host, the system will consider your suggestion.]
Shen Zhiyi shivered, goosebumps rising on her skin.
What kind of pronunciation are you using?!
The system's voice changed again, this time to a subwoofer with a bubbly tone.
[What? This is what the host wants? Data shows that girls really like it.]
Shen Zhiyi touched her earlobe and stubbornly retorted.
[I never expected you to be this kind of system!]
[It is suggested that this positive trait be maintained and promoted.]
Upon seeing this, the system continued in the same tone, constantly asking what kind of map would satisfy the professor—no, to Shen Zhiyi, the system meant the leader.
[Your system even has leaders? That's pitiful. Although your map isn't the standard design, I think it's quite good. Your leader will definitely be very satisfied.]
The system made a happy buzzing sound, and then went silent.
Because he took his map to see his leader—no, to see the person who created him, the professor.
