Chapter 68: Enhancing National Strength (1)

Now that the immortals have come, it is a test to dominate the world, and it is even more necessary to conquer Baiyue and Xiongnu.

"What do you think?"

Ying Zheng was dressed in a black robe, and his deep eyes were hidden behind the crown.

After hearing Wei Yuzi's words, he did not express his opinion, but looked at the ministers and asked.

"Baiyue is located in the south, the climate is humid and hot, there are many miasma poisonous insects, it is difficult to travel, and the minister thinks it is inappropriate."

"It's only been three years since the world stopped fighting, and my Great Qin soldiers have the power to sweep the world, but they have to take into account the war-weariness of the people."

"The minister thinks that this matter is not feasible, my Daqin is now short of grain and grass, and the supply line stretching for thousands of miles is more expensive, and the conquest needs to be more prepared."

Immediately, some ministers stood up to refute.

After listening quietly, Wei Yuzi spoke: "What you said is indeed reasonable, but I have also considered it. ”

"What you are talking about is nothing more than the supply of grain and grass, miasma and poisonous insects, and the people's hearts."

"Grain and grass, the land of Baiyue is not small, there are three borders in the southwest, south, and southeast, but the long battle line also means that grain and grass can be transferred from many places."

"People's hearts, this war is a battle of counterattack, a battle of prestige, and the battlefield is far away in the southwest, so it has little impact."

"As for the miasma poisonous insects," Wei Yizi said here and suddenly smiled, "It is indeed a great difficulty for mortals like me, but for the emperor, it is easy. ”

He took out a small wooden box from his bosom and opened it, among which was a stack of shiny square jade pieces and a small jade bottle.

"Insect repellent charms can expel poisonous insects, avoid miasma, and avoid miasma."

"With this treasure that I asked for from the emperor, poisonous insects and miasma are not a problem."

"Besides!"

Wei Yuzi's eyes suddenly turned cold: "It's just a small country, provoking the majesty of my Great Qin, barbarian Baiyue, and daring to bully me Great Qin!" ”

"If you don't send a large army to suppress it, how can you deter the world?"

The sound echoed through the hall, and there was silence for a while.

"The small country of Yelang must be destroyed." Ying Zheng spoke, "But the conquest of the land of Baiyue is not in a hurry." ”

As soon as Yingzheng's words came out, everyone in the court was shocked.

This matter was promoted by Yingzheng from the beginning, and it was even decided to send 500,000 troops to the south, and the court debate was just a play, why has it changed now?

Everyone thought that the only one who could change the general trend was the emperor!

"Governing the world, whether it is to appease the people of the empire, prosper the Great Qin, or to conquer the world and expand the territory, it is inseparable from three things."

"Food, population, and force."

"Population is the foundation of a huge empire, and only with population can we open up wasteland and cultivate land, give birth to talents, and form more armies."

"And the people live on food, and if they want more people and want the people to return to their hearts, they need enough food."

"As for force, it's the spear and shield of the Empire."

"Since Shang Jun changed the law, my Great Qin has rewarded cultivation and encouraged childbirth, but after many years of fighting, the loss is indeed too great."

Ying Zheng leaned forward slightly.

"Instead of using the lives of my Great Qin soldiers to expand the territory little by little, I think it would be better to raise the strength of Great Qin to the point of winning the world, and then sweep the earth!"

In the past few days, after Yingzheng accepted the inheritance of Yun Dynasty's practice, in addition to practicing seriously, he was studying in the Taoist Palace.

Naturally, it was the history book that Yang Yuxi bought from the system mall.

The whole world, from the birth of the earth, to the formation of mankind, to the birth of many civilizations.

The history of Yanhuang and other ethnic histories have been roughly read by Yingzheng.

With Daqin's current strength, he is constantly fighting and wants to dominate the world within five years, but it is just a fantasy and a dream.

If you want to complete the test, only by trying to improve Daqin's strength is fundamental!

"I have gained something from the emperor." Ying Zheng said and looked outside the hall, and several guards walked in carrying three boxes.

"High-yield grain."

"Papermaking, printing."

"Also, practice the exercises."

Everyone's eyes were on the box in the guard's hand, full of curiosity.

What is so strange about this thing that His Majesty specially asked for from the emperor?

The three boxes are opened one after the other.

"Li Xiang is knowledgeable, can he know that he is rich and has five cars?"

Li Si hurriedly got up, and after a little thought, he replied: "Ruochen remembers well, it should be from the world chapter of "Zhuangzi", Hui Shi is multifaceted, and his book is five cars. ”

"It's worthy of Li Xiang." Ying Zheng smiled, "Keiko learns to be rich and five cars, although it means that he is very knowledgeable, but it also shows one thing. ”

"That's the bulkiness and inconvenience of bamboo slips."

"I need a cart of bamboo slips to review the recitals every day."

"Nowadays, the rich use silk and satin cloth as paper, or use fine bamboo slips to record words, while the common people, who are few literate people, write only on wooden boards."

"If you want to dominate the world, you need more talents, and talents need to be literate."

"How can the world be literate? Papermaking, printing! ”

Sensing Ying Zheng's gaze, the two guards hurriedly took out snow-white paper from a box, compared with the paper more than two thousand years later, except that it was thicker to fit the brush, there was no difference in other smooth, fair and other aspects.

Then all the officials of the court were given a piece of snow-white paper.

"This kind of paper, made of bamboo and wood, is available everywhere." There was also a stack of paper on the long case in front of Ying Zheng, on which some words were written casually.

Nowadays, the silk used for writing is also called paper, but compared with bamboo and wood paper, it is not only inconvenient to carry, but also extremely valuable, even Yingzheng, the emperor of Great Qin, is reluctant.

Then the guards took out a thick stack of paper from the box, on which were densely printed with words, which were the laws of Great Qin.

"This! What kind of means is this? ”

Lees' eyes widened and he pressed it to the paper, then rubbed the handwriting on it.

"This is the teacher's help to my Daqin, which is used to supply Daqin's officials to handle government affairs and students, and with Daqin's current ability, he can only produce worse paper."

"These papers will be printed with engraving printing Qin law, which will be used all over the world, and local officials will often explain it at that time, and Qin law will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and improve the literacy rate."

"Meng Yi, I'll leave this matter to you."

Ying Zheng saw that the civil and military officials were confused when he heard it, and he felt a little proud in his heart.

I listened to the lecture at the teacher's place before, and I am like this, so naturally I want you to feel it too.

"Obey the order!" Meng Yi hurriedly got up to accept the order, thinking in his heart that he would ask his eldest brother to inquire with His Majesty about how to deal with it.

"Papermaking and printing are a way for Daqin to prosper, and grain is the foundation of Daqin's prosperity."

"In this box, it is the food I specially asked for from the teacher, and it can even be called an immortal seed!"

Ying Zheng stepped down from the high platform and personally picked up a kind of grain from the box.
