Kind-hearted people should not be deceived. Since this beautiful misunderstanding has occurred, let's make amends to them.
It was just a little money and supplies; Lin Yi didn't care at all!
On the contrary, it was the people's love and respect that warmed his heart, and he couldn't help but smile and say, "I am also an emperor supported by the people; this is priceless."
Although Yang Xiu exaggerated the story a bit, it wasn't the emperor who was lying, so it has nothing to do with me.
Besides, he personally took out 50 million strings of cash as subsidies, which was real money, without any exaggeration.
"Waaaaah!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhao Gao burst into tears, his grief leaving the surrounding guards dumbfounded. What was wrong with Eunuch Zhao? Why was he suddenly crying?
Lin Yi frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, " Zhao Gao, why are you crying?"
This guy is Zhao Gao, who famously called a deer a horse. How did he suddenly change the script and pull this stunt? It's really ruining his character.
"Your Majesty, this servant weeps for the sake of the people of the All Under Heaven."
"How fortunate they are to have met such a wise ruler as the Emperor! This is probably the greatest blessing they could ever have!" Zhao Gao said, tears streaming down his face, his expression filled with emotion.
Depend on!
Lin Yi rolled his eyes. So this guy was trying to flatter him; he'd thought the guy had suddenly had a mental breakdown.
He waved his hand at him and said in a deep voice, "Go and make the arrangements. The people meant well; don't let them suffer losses."
He was a man who responded better to gentle persuasion than force; if there were rioters, he would absolutely not hesitate to send men to suppress them. But he could not simply ignore the concerns of the common people.
"Yes, sir!" Zhao Gao nodded and immediately went to make the arrangements.
After dismissing him, Lin Yi headed straight for the Imperial Garden.
He wanted to create Map of Eastern Mountains, Rivers, and Regions, but the area of this map was beyond his imagination, and ordinary palaces simply could not meet the requirements.
There is a huge lawn behind the Imperial Garden, which perfectly meets this requirement.
Once they reached the lawn, Lin Yi called the guards aside.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he materialized the Map of Eastern Mountains, Rivers, and Regions that the system had rewarded him with, and a huge map instantly covered the lawn.
"Holy crap, it's actually 3D!" Lin Yi exclaimed upon seeing the Mountains and Rivers Regional Map.
I thought it was just an ordinary map, but it turned Qiankun to be a 3D map.
Although it was only a general outline, it was enough for Lin Yi to see the entire East clearly; it was definitely the most direct way to describe it.
His eyes lit up. This was much larger and more detailed than the previous sand table, and even some large mineral veins were marked.
No wonder it requires such a large area to operate; this is simply a divine artifact.
While large mineral veins can be discovered manually, the emergence of this regional map undoubtedly saves a lot of manpower and also provides a more detailed representation.
A casual glance revealed several large iron and copper mines, and even the salt mountain that Lin Yi had previously obtained was marked among them.
These are all top-notch resources!
It's a pity that some rare small-scale minerals don't exist; for example, flint ore hasn't been found yet, which is a problem.
Compared to the proportion of resource value, the information contained in the direction of its mountains and rivers is more important, which is simply a magic weapon for military campaigns.
For example, within the territory of the Zhennan Dynasty, the Mountains and Rivers Regional Map.
Standing on the map, Lin Yi could even see the canyon at the end of Pingyu Pass, which cut off the entire route. There was also the Dalang Valley, which severed the way.
And the huge Gourd Mouth is also clearly visible here.
If this were sent to the front lines, it would be far more convenient than a simple tactical map; Li Ru would probably be overjoyed.
As for further use of this painting, that would require the newly acquired Li Bing.
With a thought, he immediately summoned Li Bing, Xue Rengui, and Wen Tianxiang. These three were all very important, so he could make arrangements for them first.
" Xue Rengui / Li Bing / Wen Tianxiang pay their respects to the Emperor!"
The three of them were startled when they saw the map at their feet. After a moment of surprise, they immediately bowed respectfully.
Looking at the three people, Lin Yi's eyes lit up. He had only ever seen statues before, but now he was finally seeing real people.
These three are all figures who have made their mark on history, and now they will all be under his command.
In particular, Wen Tianxiang's poem "Since ancient times, who has ever escaped death? Let my loyal heart shine in history" has made him famous for all time, and countless people have been moved by his integrity.
Li Bing was no less remarkable; the Dujiangyan System he built had such a profound impact that it directly changed the surrounding landscape, making him a figure of considerable stature as well.
Both men possessed refined and elegant demeanor, with a hint of confidence in their eyes—a testament to their own abilities.
Of the three, Xue Rengui was the most eye-catching. His tall stature and powerful arms made him stand out as a completely different character.
Clearly, he is a formidable general!
Lin Yi smiled and said, "The arrival of the three of you is undoubtedly a great help to Great Liang. You'll all have to work hard from now on!"
"Your Majesty is too kind! We will do our utmost to serve Your Majesty!" The three dared not delay and directly expressed their determination.
However, their eyes never left the map; clearly, this Mountains and Rivers Regional Map had greatly shocked them, even frightened them.
This map is so realistic, it's practically lifelike, as if it really exists.
As a general skilled in warfare, Xue Rengui was the first to exclaim excitedly, "Your Majesty, this is a tactical map! It's so realistic!"
Good heavens, the terrain here is crystal clear. If it were used for military campaigns, it would be an absolute godsend!
They can even spot where the mountains and rivers are; this makes them incredibly adept at warfare.
"This is Mountains and Rivers Regional Map. It shows some of the major mountain ranges and rivers. You can find them all on it," Lin Yi explained with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Li Bing's eyes lit up, and she immediately began to comb through it.
As he looked around, he muttered to himself, "The terrain here is steep, but behind it lies a fertile plain. It's a pity the water flow is cut off; perhaps it could have diverted the river water from the northwest..."
" The Inner River is too narrow, hindering the movement of boats. If these narrow sections are opened up, the river will be unobstructed."
His eyes lit up, and he immediately began to examine it.
Seeing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh and cry, muttering, "What do you call professional? This is damn professional!"
He could find the key point with just one glance. If Li Bing were there, he might be able to send his navy into the Western Regions.
With these repairs and maintenance, we can directly storm into the Western Regions.
