Not only the prime minister, but also the other ministers were also puzzled, and when they looked at each other, they could find the doubts in each other's eyes.

Zhao Hai smiled, "Have you ever thought about the barbarians on one side of Shudi, and what kind of country is beyond the coast on the other side?" And what kind of amazing thing is there? Actually, you don't know, do you? ”

After pondering for a while, Zhao Hai said again: "For example, chili peppers and sweet potatoes come from the other side of the sea!" ”

Now that his prestige is here, if he wants to make any decision, he basically doesn't need to go through the third review and six ministries to make a decision directly.

But he still obeyed the rules and consulted with the three provinces and six ministries, not one family, and at the same time hoped that they could do it with their hearts, not just because of their own orders.

"What?" The prime minister was shocked when he heard this, peppers, sweet potatoes, and actually came from countries on the other side of the sea?

For some of the products invented by Zhao Hai, they don't know how they came about, and they are also very curious.

But curiosity is curiosity, and he didn't delve into it, after all, in addition to reforming food, Zhao Hai also made a lot of reforms in salt, paper, and weapons, and there were too many things that surprised them.

If they had to get to the bottom of everything, they wouldn't be able to ask.

And high-ranking officials are embarrassed to ask often.

Now that they heard that this was actually coming from overseas, they immediately became interested.

Zhao Hai smiled more and more playfully, "Yes, the world is very big, not only the Central Plains, there are many, many countries outside the Central Plains, and there are all kinds of strange things, if you can introduce those things into Great Qin, Great Qin will become more and more prosperous in the future."

In addition to importing, it is natural that you have to bring out the things of your own country in order to make more money. ”

For example, in the international trade of later generations, as long as Daqin sets a precedent, it will be far ahead of all countries in the world.

As long as this level is maintained, how Daqin wants to earn their money in the future, it will be up to Daqin to make their money.

"That being the case, the ministers have no opinion on His Majesty's decision-making." After thinking about it, the prime minister bowed his hand and strongly supported it.

Although more than 100,000 people in Shu are all at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it may cause instability.

As long as troops are sent to strictly guard and supervise secretly, it will not be a problem.

"Okay, then do it, first settle the people, and then make a plan for the surrender of troops.

As well as the problem of a large amount of wasteland in the Shu generation, we must also make decisions as soon as possible. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that no matter when and where, agriculture must be guaranteed first, so the minister thinks that the canal should be opened first, so that the people can reclaim the famine and ensure the food problem."

The people take food as the sky, and food is the benchmark.

Nowadays, although Daqin has stored grain every year, people have a fundamental concern throughout the ages: if the wind and rain are not smooth in the coming year, what will happen to the grain?

No one wants to go hungry!

Zhao Hai nodded, "This is natural, then arrange it, repair the spiritual canal, count all the places that need to be reclaimed, and build the spiritual canal!" ”

"So much? How much manpower and material resources do you have to consume? The Prime Minister's eyes widened.

One is enough to choke, it is very difficult, and it takes all parts of the country to open spiritual canals, how long does it take? How much money, material resources, and manpower?

"It's a thing that comes from time to generation."

Zhao Hai said indifferently: "As long as it can be done, it will be a great achievement, and the merit will be in the future."

As for manpower, it is entirely possible to recruit labor from the private sector.

Wages must not be less, and it is only a matter of time to ensure that the people eat and drink every day. ”

Zhao Hai didn't care about how much manpower and material resources were needed, he only thought about the merit in the future, although it was a big project, but the bigger the project, the greater the merit.

If the spiritual canal is not opened, there will be a series of hidden dangers in the future people's livelihood problems.

"Okay, then we have to let the Ministry of Industry send someone to investigate first to determine where it can be excavated." The prime minister said.

"Yes, let's decide on a plan first, and then start after there are no problems. Daqin is full of talents, and before the start of construction, it can issue a notice to recruit talents who know how to open canals and listen to their opinions. ”

Zhao Hai knows that since ancient times, only people have come out of the people, as long as they are given opportunities, they will all surface and serve the imperial court.

"Your Ministers understand." The third trial and the sixth department nodded their hands.

"It's good to understand, I'm sure you'll be able to do it. The digging of the spiritual canal can ensure the cultivation of farmland, this matter is imminent, step down, make a plan as soon as possible, and show it to me. ”

Zhao Hai waved his hand and motioned for them to leave.

After the group returned, they immediately held an emergency meeting in their respective departments.

Soon, the high-level officials of the imperial court were the first to know that the imperial court was going to dig a spiritual canal.

As soon as the news came out, Chang'an City shook, and some of the noses were already smelling the cat, and the next step for the imperial court was to vigorously develop the recovered Shu land.

And among the top families, they are also eyeing this and considering whether to deploy in advance.

After Zhao Hai finished handling government affairs, he went to the harem.

He has been away from Chang'an for a long time, and he has not accompanied these concubines.

Fengyi Palace!

When he came, only the queen and the eldest prince were here.

"Father, father."

As soon as he came, the eldest prince screamed milkily and ran over.

The eldest prince is two years old, chubby, and cute.

Zhao Hai smiled knowingly and picked him up, "Do you miss your father?" ”

Saying that, take a sip on his fat face.

"I want to, I miss my father!" The eldest prince smiled sweetly and enjoyed the feeling of shrinking in Zhao Hai's arms.

The queen came slowly, her eyes were full of tenderness, and she felt very happy looking at the father and son.

She feels that being the mother of a country is not the happiest, and that a family is safe and harmonious.

If she could, she didn't actually like to be the queen, and she didn't want Zhao Hai to be the emperor.

Because the identity of the emperor is here, the beauties of the harem are indispensable, after all, they need to be scattered.

Zhao Hai and the eldest prince were tired of being crooked for a while, then put him down and sat down on the pear blossom chair on the side.

"Your Majesty, you have finally returned to the palace completely."

The queen pouted, since more than a year ago, after Zhao Hai decided to recover Han and Shu with a thunderous wrist, he was often not in the palace, always running here and there.

Now that the two places have been completely recovered, she feels that Zhao Hai will finally stop running around.

God knows how much she misses Zhao Hai.

In fact, since the two got married, Zhao Hai rarely left her side.

And Zhao Hai can leave the harem, but it is difficult for women to get out.

You must know that the status of women is not high, and the palace is heavily guarded, even if she is the queen, she can't leave the palace often, so the only one she can rely on and relieve her lack is Zhao Hai.

"Do you miss me?" Zhao Hai hugged the queen with a smile and asked softly in his ear.

The queen hummed, her pretty face was slightly red, and her beauty was like a blooming rose.
