Chapter 35: Make Qin an Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets
Li Nian painted another pie for Ying Zheng, and this time the pie attracted Ying Zheng. "Whether it is day or night, there is always land of the empire bathed in sunshine." It aroused Ying Zheng's fighting spirit. If he could really do it, what a powerful empire it would be!
His original goal was to conquer the six kingdoms and unify the world. After learning from Li Nian that the Second Emperor of Qin was destroyed, how to prevent the Second Emperor of Qin from destroying him became his goal again. Now he has a new goal, which is to build the Qin Empire into an empire on which the sun never sets!
However, can the British Empire really exist?
Shouldn't the day be when the whole world is illuminated by sunlight, and shouldn't the night be when all nations are immersed in darkness?
How is it possible that there is a land that is always bathed in sunlight regardless of day or night?
Ying Zheng asked, and Li Nian said: "Your Majesty, this is related to the earth under our feet. The earth is not round, but a sphere. When I make a globe, I will explain it to Your Majesty in detail. Then Your Majesty will understand why the British Empire can exist."

"Speaking of wanting to prove that the earth is a sphere, the best way is to sail around the world, but the ocean-going technology of the Qin Dynasty is not yet sufficient, so we must make further preparations. The ocean is not land, the weather changes drastically, and when sailing to the deep sea, there is no land to rely on for thousands of miles. Our world is only 30% land, and 70% is ocean. Let me make a globe and then tell you about it."

"It's up to you!"

Ying Zheng raised another question: "But the Han and Tang dynasties were the empires on which the sun never set?"

Li Nian was stunned for a moment before he realized that the First Emperor was unhappy that the Han and Tang dynasties were more respected by later generations than the Qin dynasty, so he asked deliberately. This is the competitive spirit of the emperor. Even if they are from different dynasties, they must be compared.

After hearing Li Nian's answer, "Han and Tang dynasties were not the empire on which the sun never set!", Ying Zheng felt relieved. If Han and Tang dynasties did not become the empire on which the sun never set, then his Qin Dynasty must become it.

Li Nian thought of many things that deserve praise from the Han and Tang dynasties, but he believed that the reason why the Han and Tang dynasties were revered by people was that they were powerful and their reputation spread to foreign countries. When people in later generations mentioned them, they always felt a sense of honor and pride.

Ying Zheng glanced at Li Nian and felt that there was something else behind Li Nian's words - My Great Qin is not famous in other countries, so you have no sense of honor and pride?
Something is wrong. Ying Zheng thought of something. Powerful dynasties like Han and Tang were not the empire on which the sun never sets. Then which dynasty or country is the empire on which the sun never sets that Li Nian mentioned?
Could it be that……

Ying Zheng frowned and said, "Is the British Empire you are talking about a foreign country in the future?"

The king even figured this out by himself, he is worthy of being the first emperor. Li Nian said: "The king is wise, they are indeed foreign countries!"

Ying Zheng sneered and commented: "Let the foreign countries become the empire on which the sun never sets, and the dynasties in the future will be no more than that!" Li Nian sighed: "In fact, in history, China has been at the top of the world for many times and has long been the strongest country in the world. Unfortunately..."

Ying Zheng's heart moved, he looked at Li Nian and said, "I haven't asked you yet, what law will be used to govern the country in the future?"

Li Nian has been deliberately avoiding this issue, trying not to talk about it if possible, but now that the First Emperor mentioned it, there is no reason to avoid it anymore. The persona he created in front of the First Emperor was that of an honest person.

"Replying to Your Majesty, in later times, each country formulated its own laws of governance based on its own national conditions. There is no fixed national policy, but there are mainly two types of governance concepts. Most countries in later times no longer have kings. Even if they still have kings, they almost never hold power anymore."

Ying Zheng already knew that most countries in later generations did not have kings, but he was just curious about how those countries that still had kings but were not in power operated.

Li Nian briefly explained the methods of governing a country in later generations to Qin Shi Huang.

When he heard about constitutional monarchy, Ying Zheng reacted and glanced at Li Nian: What this kid said was to try to make the Qin royal family exist longer, or even die together with China. Is this the method he is trying to use?

　This chapter has been revised, so it is only this long. I don't know how to make up for the word count, so instead, I'll add "Chapter 37". I've learned my lesson and won't write anything that violates the rules.
