Chapter 187: Conquest is not limited to war

After the early dynasty, in the imperial study, the first assistant Li Si, the official Meng Yi, the Wucheng Hou Wang Ben and the Hubu Shangshu Wang Qi gathered together. These individuals are the loyal dogs of the First Emperor, and they are the first to look forward to the First Emperor.

"Aiqing, tell me about your plan." The First Emperor asked eagerly. The alien races on the grassland are definitely the biggest henchmen of Great Qin, the grassland people are different from Baiyue, Baiyue is just a group of guarded savages, while the grassland people are a group of aggressive savages. Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the alien races on the grasslands have raided the bordering Qin Dynasty every winter. With the construction of the Great Wall in recent years, the grassland aliens can no longer be as unscrupulous as before, but attacks on caravans still occur from time to time.

"Wuchenghou has been dealing with the alien races on the grassland all the year round, and I will ask Wuchenghou, what is the difference between the aliens on the grassland and my people of Daqin." Li Chen looked at Wang Ben and asked. Although Wang Ben was not like Meng Yi who was stationed in Hetao to fight with the steppe people all day long, the Great Wall defense line he garrisoned also encountered scattered steppe people from time to time.

Although Wang Ben didn't know why Li Chen asked, he still said slowly: "Compared with the Qin people, the body of the grassland alien race is stronger and the strength is greater. And the steppe is almost full of soldiers, and even a teenager can ride a horse and shoot arrows. ”

"Wu Chenghou is right, do you know why the grassland alien race is stronger than us?" Li Chen asked.

"Say, I said, I don't want to sell it." Li Chen looked at the old man who was about to draw his sword, and hurriedly spoke.

"What a man, grumpy old man."

"It's genes, they eat meat, their father eats meat, their grandfather still eats meat. In this way, over the generations, meat has changed their genes. So they were born stronger than we are, taller than we are. Li Chen said.

The Xiongnu, who were not much different in age, were far greater than the Qin in terms of manpower, which is why the wealthy families of Great Qin liked to use the Xiongnu as slaves. He has a lot of strength and doesn't cheat. Of course, if you use the Huns as an effort, you must first be optimistic about your own concubines, after all, the Huns' Nar is also very big. After all, it is understandable that the grassland people like to plant grass for the main family.

"Go on?" The First Emperor glared at Li Chen and said.

"So, the grain we sell to the Huns is changing their genes. Assimilation of their eating habits is only the first step in their transition from meat to vegetarianism. ”

"First of all, we need to establish a fang market in Yuecheng to allow all merchants of Great Qin to trade with the grassland. Of course, the content of the transaction is only limited to living materials, and the transaction collects 30% of the commercial tax, and for the caravans that go to Yuecheng to trade, Daqin is responsible for protecting the safety of the trade routes. Li Chen said.

Today's Great Qin is not allowed to trade with the grassland, although it is not allowed to trade with the grassland, but it is possible to trade with the Qin people in the Hetao region and Yuecheng. As a result, many caravans were trading with the Qin people on the surface, but in fact they were smuggling supplies into the grasslands. This kind of trading method is very risky for merchants, on the one hand, they are afraid of being discovered by the Qin army, and on the other hand, they are afraid of being blackened by the grassland people. Therefore, even if it is a thirty percent commercial tax to ensure the safety of the transaction, these merchants are willing, after all, the wool comes from the sheep, and the alien races on the grassland are the fat sheep of these merchants.

"Continue?" The First Emperor continued to ask.

Whether or not to trade with the grassland peoples is no longer a matter of debate for a day or two in the Great Qin Dynasty. Some people think that trading with the grassland peoples is seeking skin with tigers and raising tigers. However, the war horses, cattle and sheep on the grassland are very important materials for Daqin. In particular, cattle are just food in the eyes of the grassland peoples, but they are an important labor force for the people of Daqin.

"As you know, goats are different from sheep. Sheep are docile and equally gentle in grazing. But goats are different, goats are reckless and eat grass very recklessly. Goats have strange teeth and tongues, and when goats eat grass, their tongues will roll up the roots of the grass and eat them together. In other words, if there are more goats on the grassland, the greater the damage to the grassland. ”

"The establishment of the Fang Market is just a cover for the follow-up plan, and we first use which merchants to aggressively raise the price of goats and depreciate the price of sheep. In this way, in order to obtain greater benefits, the grassland alien race will inevitably breed goats on a large scale. ”

"Not to mention that the goats eat a lot, and the pastures that the goats have eaten cannot grow enough grass again in two or three years, but the pastures on this grassland are almost fixed now. In order to make a better life for their own people, these aliens can only raise more goats, and in order to occupy more pastures, they can only snatch them from other tribes. ”

"In order to trade with our Great Qin, Great Qin's grassland is naturally safe. Then the grassland at that time will be the Huns fighting the Donghu people, the Donghu people fighting the Dayue people, and our Daqin needs to make war money. As the saying goes, it's not a big deal to watch the excitement, and the ordnance we eliminated can also be sold to the grassland people at a high price. ”

"What we want is to let them play a real fire, and whoever is weak, we will secretly sell things to whomever we want. Cattle and sheep, horses, even women, slaves, all things can be exchanged with us for material things. It only takes three years, and the destruction of the grassland by goats only takes three years, and there are no strong horses on the grassland. And once there is a war on the grassland in the past three years, there will inevitably be countless dead and wounded in the prime of life. At that time, the horses of the different races in the grassland are not biao, the people are not strong, and a group of old and weak women and children riding thin horses can only be slaughtered by our Great Qin. Li Chen said slowly.

"This count.... Seconds. After half a ring, Li Si squeezed out these four words from between his teeth. However, his body subconsciously took two steps back and stayed away from Li Chen. Among these people, he has a bad relationship with him, this kid seems to be poisonous, and he may not know when he will be in the hands of himself.

"There should be no problem in the implementation of this plan, the grassland peoples are all nomadic and not deeply connected with each other. I'm afraid that when they react, it will be too late. It's just that now the price of our Daqin goat meat is twice as high as that of sheep, how can we make businessmen raise prices spontaneously. "The head of the household is still the king's official said. This Daqin's market economy, he is very clear. Now the price of sheep is high and the price of goats is low. And if you can't let the businessmen know the plan, it's probably even more difficult to let them raise the price spontaneously.

"It's easy to do, all it takes is a rumor. Starting tomorrow, I will let the day listen to the fine work to spread the news, and it will say that this goat meat has that kind of inexplicable benefit for men. I just need your cooperation, and when the time comes, we individuals will only have one to take the lead in snapping up. Within three days, the price of the goat was guaranteed to multiply several times. Li Chen smiled evilly.

This man, what he values most is his ability. Not to mention goat meat, some experts say that eating feces can enhance that ability, but I am afraid that some people can also eat several lumps at a time.

The next day, the whole Xianyang City was full of rumors.

The concubine of the Shoufu Li Si family screamed all night last night, and it is said that this Li Si likes to eat goat meat in recent days.

Wucheng Hou Wang Ben's bed is on the bed, it is said that three beds have been shaken this week, and I heard that Wucheng Hou also likes to eat goat meat.

......

......

In just a few days, Xianyang meat has become expensive. First the ministers of the court, and later the wealthy merchants, but all the people with heads and faces began to rush to buy goat meat.

It is said that this goat meat is really effective. On weekdays, I look at that thing and keep tears, but now I can rub it. What can be rubbed on weekdays can now be quite tea-kungiving. Those who can make tea on weekdays are now even more powerful, and they can do enough kung fu with a stick of incense.

"Liuzi, let me tell you, your medicine is too strong. You can't do that, don't kill people too violently. "Li Jiazhuang, Li Chen is teaching the sixth son.

That's right, the recent goat meat is indeed effective, because the goat meat on the market now has been processed in advance by Li Chen, who lacks Degas smoke.

It is that people have a herd mentality, as long as the people who eat in front are effective, the people behind will naturally compete to follow suit.
