"Father, you will definitely live forever."

Fusu's eyes showed a sad look, and he said solemnly.

"Silly boy, how can there be any people in this world who have a long life?"

Ying Zheng sighed and said with some embarrassment.

"Others can't, but my father is the Holy Monarch of the Ages, and he will be able to live for an infinite period of time, and his life will be the same as that of the sky."

Fusu was stubborn and said with a firm expression.

"Maybe!"

Ying Zheng smiled, not dwelling on this issue, his eyes looked at the map and said to Fusu: "This is Longxi, and less than a hundred miles out of Xiongguan is the territory of the Yue Clan." If Great Qin wants to trade with the Western Regions, the Longxi Corridor is a necessary place. ”

"Father, why has the child never heard of the Longxi Corridor?"

Fusu was stunned and puzzled.

"Dilan County, Longxi County [now Lanzhou], is an important border town in the western border of Great Qin. Out of Dilan is the Wusheling Mountains, between the north and south between the Qilian Mountains and the Horsehair Mountains, and the west to Dunhuang, it is the Longxi Corridor. ”

Ying Zheng held the torch in his right hand, and with his left hand, he swiped west on the map to Dilan until Dunhuang.

"Father, this Longxi corridor, judging from the map, is at least more than a thousand miles long, such a narrow road, it needs hundreds of thousands of troops to defend it, right?"

"Is it worth paying such a big price in order to trade with the Western Regions?"

Fusu was puzzled and looked at Ying Zhengdao.

"Whether it is the Yueshi entrenched in the Qilian Mountains, or the Xiongnu who wander the Yin Mountains, or the Donghu in the north of the hunting and herding. For thousands of years, it has been a major problem in the Central Plains. ”

"The kingdoms of the Western Regions are rich in products and fertile land. Trade is only secondary, according to the Longxi Corridor to connect the states of the Western Regions, trapped Hu Di in the grassland desert. ”

"Born in a land of bitter cold, Hu Di made a living from livestock and plundering. In spring and summer, the aquatic plants are vigorous and carefree, and in autumn and winter, the aquatic plants wither and become barren. Consolidate the Xiongguan of the east and west, build a fortress of thousands of miles, step by step, erect the wall and clear the wilderness, Hu Di has collapsed without a fight. ”

"The west is adjacent to the Qiang, the division of the Xingwang Road, with Kunlun as the barrier, the essence of Bashu, chasing the Qiang people in the West Sea [now Qinghu], and breaking the Qiang Di's contiguity."

Ying Zheng pointed to the map, kept moving, and explained to Fusu.

"Father wants to use soldiers again?"

Fusu was very surprised, after all, his father had issued an edict to suspend the army and support the people!

"I'm just letting you understand the direction of Great Qin in the future, and I'm not in a hurry."

"The various tribes of Xiqiang are not enough to be troubled, and Hu Di in the north is fighting their own battles, although it is a disaster to Daqin, there is no need to be afraid."

Ying Zheng patiently taught Fusu.

"The child understands, Father Emperor Shengming."

Fusu breathed a sigh of relief, if there was another war, it would be another life, not what he wanted.

"Sending Gongzi to Lu to the Yue Clan, I didn't really hope that the Yue Clan would be able to give up the Longxi Corridor, it was just a temptation."

Ying Zheng turned his gaze from the west of the map to the north, and said with a heartbeat.

"Then why did the emperor send a general?"

Fusu was confused again.

"There are many herdsmen in the north, with the Yueshi, Xiongnu, and Donghu tribes being the most powerful. Among these three major tribes, the Yue clan was the weakest and was humiliated by the Xiongnu. ”

Ying Zheng groaned, his eyes showing hope.

"Father wants to subdue the Yue Clan?"

Fusu was a little shocked and said, you must know that this northern Hu Di is very cruel and barbaric, how easy is it to subdue it?

"The Yueshi is entrenched in the Longxi Corridor, and according to the fertile soil of the West Sea, it can seize the property of the states of the Western Regions in the west, and plunder the grain of Great Qin in the south. Though it is small, it is rich. ”

"If it weren't for the time of life and death, when the people were wiped out, how could they bow down to others?"

Ying Zheng laughed dumbly.

"Neither can be subdued, nor can trade with the Western Regions, then what my father has done is not useless?"

Fusu was even more puzzled, looking at Yingzheng and puzzled.

"If you are the king of the Yue Clan, seeing that the aquatic plants are about to wither, what do you want most?"

Ying Zheng asked intriguingly.

This......

Fusu showed a careful contemplative look, the herdsmen are grazing livestock for a living, autumn and winter, nature for livestock forage for worry?

"Forage."

After figuring it out, Fusu almost blurted out.

"It's just one thing, the Yueshi people only raise livestock and don't plow the fields. In the long autumn and winter, only the slaughter of livestock is food, and the grain of the five grains in Guanzhong is the second. ”

"Whether it is the grassland of the Qilian Mountains or the grassland of the West Sea, they are all the land of the Yueshi people's animal husbandry. Although water and grass are fertile, supplies are scarce. All kinds of daily necessities in Guanzhong are things that they can't ask for, and this is the third. ”

Ying Zheng added.

"The father has insight into the overall situation and is meticulous, and the child is not as good as the child."

Fusu was convinced and praised from the bottom of his heart.

"Will Lu send the envoy Yueshi, bring 10,000 stones of grain, 1,000 horses of cloth, 100 carts, 10 boxes of goods, and a letter."

Yingzheng took Fusu back to the high platform of the main hall, and said as he walked.

"Father, isn't this an enemy?"

Fusu wondered very much, how could Shengming, like his father, make such a ...... What's coming?

"Think long-term, don't limit yourself to a corner. If you want to take it, you must give it first. Not to mention this kind of material, one day, the land will be the territory of Great Qin, and the herdsmen will also become the people of Great Qin. ”

"Since it is the land of Great Qin and the people of Great Qin, as a king, it is natural that the rain and dew should be evenly wet, and there can be no bias."

Ying Zheng said meaningfully.

Fusu was immediately stunned, and his father made himself irrefutable.

"Father is trying to win over the Yue Clan?"

It was only at this time that Fusu really understood his father's intentions.

"It is in the interests of the Great Qin Empire to suspend troops and support the people by destroying Di and fighting for the grasslands."

Ying Zheng cannot be denied.

Fusu thinks so, but I'm afraid it's more than that, right?

If the grassland alien race is twisted together, it will probably become a fierce enemy of Great Qin.

A plate of loose sand, in the future, will save a lot of hands and feet.

Great Qin's strategy of destroying the Six Kingdoms was based on this, attacking from afar, dividing them into close attacks, and breaking them one by one.

"The child understands, thank you for your father's teachings."

Fusu bowed again, and said with a serious expression.

"It's good to understand, after the country calms down, you only need to return to the four things when you go to sea, which is a thousand years of work."

Ying Zheng picked up a book from the wooden platform next to the throne and handed it to Fusu.

Fusu hurriedly stood up, walked towards Yingzheng, took the book, and the five big characters of "Strange Food and Persona" came into view.

"Father, this is?"

Fusu held the book in his hand and asked Ying Zheng.

"Open it and take a look."

Ying Zheng smiled, and then said.

Fusu immediately received the order, opened the book, and immediately saw a lifelike painting and the annotations below.

Sweet potatoes are produced on the other side of the ocean, in the warm land of the Indoan mainland. Buried roots, round, oval or spindle-shaped.

The stems lie flat and rise, occasionally entangled, multi-branched, and the shape and color of the leaves often vary depending on the land. Usually broadly ovate, petioles of varying lengths, axillary inflorescences, capsules ovate or oblate, seeds one to four, generally two, hairless.

Potato......

Corn......

Pepper......

Tomato......

There are about hundreds of kinds, all of which are unheard of and unseen things in Fusu.

After reading it, Fusu had the illusion that he was like a frog at the bottom of a well, and he knew how big the world was......
