My Great Qin Cannot Die - Chapter 603
The navy’s return from sea ignited Ying Zheng’s passion.
He knew in his heart that potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn were more important grains than Champaign rice, and the current Daqin Empire aspired not to be refined, but to be extensive and sufficient.
The most urgent thing for the imperial court to solve is the problem of food rations. Only when these three types of food are introduced into Daqin can it be possible for the Daqin Empire to get rid of starvation.
When the people of the country can survive, they are qualified to consider other things. Ying Zheng is a pragmatic person. What he cares about is not how prosperous the Qin Empire is, but the inheritance of China.
Ying Gao knew very well in his heart that only the people of the country could have enough to eat and clothe themselves, and would not die of starvation, would they be qualified to pursue knowledge, and would pursue other satisfactions.
There is a saying that the warehouse is full of knowledge and etiquette, which is exactly the case.
When the four new grains of sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and Champa rice are spread, Daqin can further liberate the labor force, and the people of the country can give birth to children in peace, and can send teenagers to the school palace instead of working in the fields.
Everything started with food.
All aspects of the empire are developing in an orderly manner, and Mobei has also begun to set up official offices to carry out governance. In the current Daqin, in addition to carrying out various projects and waiting for the arrival of grains, there is only Baiyue land left.
Ying Zheng didn’t decide whether to go ahead with the war immediately. After thinking for a long time, Ying Zheng left Zhangtai Palace and said to Zhao Gao, “It is said that Wang Jian and Wei Liao entered the palace, and I am waiting for them in the study.”
“promise.”
Nodding in agreement, Zhao Gao turned and left. He was keenly aware of Ying Zheng’s thoughts, but Zhao Gao didn’t say much, and didn’t reveal it to anyone.
Since Fusu’s position has become more and more stable, Zhao Gao’s ambition has also been extinguished.
Now that Ying Zheng is in good health, Fusu is already the imperial supervisor, and now that the first emperor has started the third generation of Ying Cointreau, it is foreseeable that there will be no chance for Hu Hai or anyone else.
Under such circumstances, Zhao Gao naturally would not take risks. He knew very well how sharp the means of the one in Zhangtai Palace were.
He has been by Ying Zheng’s side since he ascended the throne when he was young. Looking at Da Qin, no one knows Ying Zheng better than him except Ying Zheng himself.
That is a ruthless person who can be unscrupulous, and Ying Zheng has the qualifications to be unscrupulous.
Now Zhao Gao is very quiet.
Half an hour later, Wang Jian and Wei Liao came together and walked into the study room of Xianyang Palace: “My minister Wang Jian, Wei Liao pays homage to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is Wannian, Daqin Wannian.”
“There is no need to be too polite for the two Aiqings.” Ying Zheng motioned for the two to take their seats, and the waiter poured tea for the two of them, and then backed out.
Wei Liao and Wang Jian took their seats, and then looked at each other, Wang Jian was the first to speak, and said, “Your Majesty has summoned the ministers, what are your orders?”
Looking at Wang Jian and Wei Liao, Ying Zheng chuckled lightly and said, “The Marquis of Tongwu has rushed to send the news that the navy has returned from the sea and found the grain.”
“I called the two Ai Qing to confirm one thing. When the grains come back, the empire will definitely enter the stage of recuperation, so as to increase the population, promote the school and so on.”
“What I’m a little hesitant about is, regarding Baiyue, do the two Ai Qing think that the empire should attack the land of Baiyue now, or wait for the recuperation before deploying troops?”
Regarding Wang Jian and Wei Liao, Ying Zheng did not try to be too euphemistic, but said it outright.
An empire was waiting, and the only survivors of the four famous generals of the Warring States period, one was a strategist, Ying Zheng believed that the two would give themselves a satisfactory answer.
In the face of Ying Zheng’s straightforward inquiry, Wang Jian and Wei Liao did not answer immediately, but each took a sip of tea and remained silent.
They are all veterans, and naturally they are clear that this move is related to the future of the empire and needs to be considered carefully.
In particular, the war itself brought a certain degree of harm to the empire. They all came from the war in the sky, and naturally cherished the peaceful life now.
They rushed to kill in the fire of war, killing and injuring countless old Qin people, for what, not for the current peace.
After a cup of tea was exhausted, Wang Jian was filled by the servants. Wang Jian raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng, saying, “Your Majesty, I think that when spring begins next year, the empire will go south to destroy Baiyue.”
“While the old men like me who came from the war years are still there, and while the empire is not afraid of war now, I think that the battle of the southern expedition should be carried out now.”
Wang Jian’s eyes are old, but his worries are not unreasonable. The most important thing is that when food seeds, education, etc. are promoted one by one, the empire may be stronger.
However, it will take at least ten years, or even twenty years. During this period, a large number of people will inevitably die. Fusu can already see that he is a benevolent king.
Rather than handing over the war to Fusu, it is better to resolve it in the first emperor’s lifetime.
Wang Jian’s words were very euphemistic, but all the meaning in the words was revealed. At this moment, Wei Liao also nodded slightly, and said to Ying Zheng.
“Your Majesty, I think Marquis Wu’s consideration is correct. Long-term peace will inevitably reduce the strength of the Great Qin Ruishi. This cannot be changed.”
Wei Liao smiled bitterly and said to Ying Zheng, “Furthermore, it will take at least a dozen years to start a war after the promotion of food crops, education, etc. By that time, all the ministers will be dead at home.”
“Leaving the matter of the Southern Expedition to future generations is irresponsible. The minister thought that he would wait for the spring of the next year, while the blood of the soldiers of the Empire was still alive, and then proceed to the Southern Expedition.”
“And His Majesty also said that people from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences have also confirmed that the land of Baiyue is suitable for planting grain seeds that are twice a year. How can such fertile soil be mastered by barbarians like Baiyue?”
“Under the whole world~www.mtlnovel.com~ Only my Daqin is qualified to sit on such fertile soil.”
Having said this, Wei Liao stood up and bowed his hands to Ying Zheng, his tone became firm, and said, “Your Majesty, this minister once inquired about ancient books and recorded in an ancient book that the land of Baiyue was once the land of the Central Plains.”
“Chiyou, one of the three Chinese humanities tribes, lived here. Later, during the reign of King Yu, there were written records that the land of Baiyue was my land in the Central Plains…”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng and Wang Jian couldn’t help laughing, especially Ying Zheng, who couldn’t help but smile when he saw Wei Liao in front of him.
It stands to reason that this kind of thing is only normal if Wang Wan or Li Si brought it up, but it turned out that Taiwei Daqin brought it up.
“The Taiwei learned to be rich in five cars, and he has read countless ancient books over the years. Since it is recorded in ancient books, it is a clear proof.”
Ying Zheng got up from the throne, opened his mouth to Wei Liao and Wang Jian, and said, “Tell the officers and men in the army that Baiyue is the homeland of China. We are not trying to expand our territory, but to regain our homeland.”
“To comfort the spirit of the ancestors.”
