83 Carriage Talk

"The grassland scenery at the foot of this Yin Mountain is very good. It's a pity that it's useless for the widow to ask for them? King Qin said as he ate the meatloaf in his hand.

Shang Wen and King Qin shared a car and galloped at the foot of Yin Mountain.

Shang Wen has never eaten meat since he saw the bloody suppression of the Huns. So I just ate two pieces of bread and didn't move anymore. When Shang Wen heard King Qin's words, he felt that King Qin's insight was a little short, so he arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, this grassland is a great benefit, not useless. ”

"Oh. What does Mr. Qin think? Come on. King Qin put down the meatloaf in his hand and sat aside.

"Your Majesty, do you know how many overlords this grassland can produce to threaten my Central Plains, and how much benefit it can have to my Great Qin?" Shangwen asked.

"I don't know, sir, what's the point?" King Qin said.

"Your Majesty, forgive your remarks. The minister saw the king's command. Only the Kyuhara County was established in the Hetao area. The rest of the vast places are discarded. Is that so? Shang Wen asked.

"Yes, Mr. Qin. Only the Hetao region is considered rich. It can not only raise horses for the widow, but also grow grain for the widow. The rest of the place really doesn't have much to do. King Qin waved his hand and said.

"The king made a mistake." Shang Wen said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, this grassland is not only a river loop where horses can be raised, but also other places. Why the Huns were able to go south frequently, relying on horses, and. Northern nomads herded their cattle everywhere. Playing a small practice will be done immediately. So you can go south frequently. My Central Plains is just farming, relatively fixed. There is not much ambition for external expansion. And nomads are different. They will move from grass to grass and move many times a year. And in the event of a natural disaster. will raise troops to the south and plunder our China. Shang Wen paused and continued.

"Now, the king sent troops north to destroy the entire Xiongnu and obtained a large area of grassland. The breadth of these grasslands is only larger than the territory of the Chu State. Now the Hu people intend to destroy our army. However, its combat power is no longer comparable to the combat power of our Qin army. Perhaps it won't be long before the territory of my Qin State will be greatly expanded. Its entire territory will be as much as the territory of the six eastern countries combined. With such a large grassland, could the king give it away? Shang Wen asked.

"This, but what's the use of a widow wanting such a large territory?" King Qin asked.

"Your Majesty, this grassland must be occupied, not only will it not be occupied, but it will be greatly expanded." Shang Wen said.

"If you don't take it, there are three disadvantages, and there will be endless troubles." Shang Wen stretched out three fingers and gestured.

"If you take it. There are three benefits. Shang Wen said.

"Oh. Let's talk about it. King Qin asked.

"The king now takes the entire grassland and does not take it, which has one disadvantage, other ethnic groups in the grassland, such as the Yue clan and the Hu people. It will definitely fill the vacuum left by the Huns. When the time comes, the king will drive away a wolf, and another wolf will come.

Second, although I, Daqin, have obtained the entire Hetao Plain, we have to draw out a lot of manpower and material resources to defend passively.

Third, part of our Great Qin's army will be firmly nailed to the Hetao Plain, especially the cavalry troops. In the future, the unification of the six countries will be a great lack of help. Shang Wen crossed his fingers and finished speaking, and what he said was a little reluctant. But there is no way. This was thought of in a hurry.

"Yes." King Qin snorted and stopped talking.

"The benefits are threefold." Shang Wen continued.

"First, our Great Qin Army will change from passive defense to active defense. The cavalry team stepped forward and dealt a severe blow to potential opponents. Thorough control of the steppe areas. For my Great Qin's Guanzhong, the Central Plains has acquired a vast territory as reaction time. Shang Wen said.

"Second, the territory occupied by my Great Qin this time is unprecedented. At least seven counties can be set up, and these populations can come from the six eastern countries, or the people of our Great Qin. With these immigrants. I, Daqin, can firmly control the grassland region and completely resolve the great trouble in the northern part of the Central Plains that my Daqin has already caused.

Third, after my Great Qin immigrated, these areas will be the main source of meat for my Great Qin. In the future, the military rations of my Great Qin army will be able to eat a large number of meat products, and the combat strength of our Qin army will increase tenfold. And・・・・・・" Shang Wen was about to continue.

King Qin shouted loudly, "Okay." Good. ”

"My Great Qin soldiers will eat meat, and this strength has not increased tenfold." King Qin said.

"What the king said is extremely true, in addition, this military ration will eat meat in the future, and my Daqin's grain can also be fully prepared." Shang Wen said.

"Well, what Mr. Qin said is true. After this military ration was changed to meat, my Great Qin soldiers not only ate enough, but also ate well. I, Daqin, have always had strict restrictions on cultivating cattle, and they are not allowed to be killed at will unless they are sacrificed. But the grassland can, kill a hundred cattle, a thousand, and there is no damage. Such a benefit・・・・・ alas, it is all to blame. King Qin knocked on his head and said.

"If it weren't for Mr. Qin's timely admonition, the widow would have almost caused a catastrophe." King Qin said.

"Your Majesty, the priority is to immigrate. These roots are in the people. Not in my Great Qin soldiers. Even though my Great Qin soldiers use their lives. However, there are no roots in the steppe. I, Daqin, must emigrate. And be prepared before the coming year. Now the height of summer is coming to an end. The grasslands have already begun to prepare for the winter. Shang Wen said.

"Mr. Qin is right, but, this immigrant. It's hard to move this people. The population of my Great Qin is not large. If ・・・・・・". King Qin thought and said.

The Qin state had a population of only a few million. Plus to feed an army of a million. If you emigrate, it will inevitably affect the production of the coming year. And. It will take a long time for this migration to bear fruit. Come to think of it. Of course, King Qin has to think about it.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this immigrant can transfer some of my people from Great Qin. The rest recruited the people of the six eastern countries. In this way, our Great Qin can not only obtain the grassland, but also mobilize the people's strength of the six eastern countries. When the Six Nations are unified in the future. The forces of the six countries are bound to be stretched. Shang Wen said.

"Miaomy." King Qin clapped his hands and said.

"What Mr. Qin said is very good." King Qin nodded Shang Wen and said.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what you think of the unification of the Six Kingdoms?" Shang Wen then asked.

"Unifying the Six Nations, of course, we have to fight. Looking at it now, except for the Zhao State, the Chu State, and the Qi State. The combat power of the other three kingdoms is not my Great Qin's opponent. King Qin said confidently.

The minister believes that this unification of the six countries is, after all, a series of civil wars. Although the King of Qin had the ambition of unification, he did not have the ambition to reshape the source of China. Shang Wen said.

King Qin was shocked when he heard this. What does that mean? My Great Qin State, starting from filial piety, has gone out of the East for the purpose of unification. Is there something wrong with this? King Qin looked at Shang Wen puzzled.
