"What does this have to do with Longxi County?" Feng Qujian couldn't help but stare at Yingcheng suspiciously, and couldn't help but feel worried.

This is said to be good, why did he suddenly mention the military of Longxi.

In the past fifty years, Longxi County has been in a state of almost stability, and basically the former dog Rong has merged with the Qin people.

It was only in the twenty-seventh year that the imperial court mobilized 200,000 ploughing cattle in Shangjun and other places in Longxi in order to prepare for the construction of the granary of Jibei, and then there was the transfer of the southern expeditionary battalion stationed in Longxi and the military battalion stationed in Jibei.

But now that the situation has stabilized, coupled with the need to use troops against Jiangdong, the northern forces have been withdrawn.

And Yingcheng's questioning.

It also made him worry about it.

The only way he could think of to solve the current problem of cultivating cattle was to use the knife against Shangjun in Longxi again.

But.

It is impossible for the imperial court to impose a tax on cattle in Longxi.

At least for now.

Before the end of His Majesty's southern tour, before Jiangdong was pacified, and before the troops going to the south came back, they could not be too ruthless in Longxi.

If the tax is levied again, Longxi, which has been settled down by several generations of monarchs in the past hundred years, will be in vain and cease to exist.

Many courtiers were also puzzled.

There are some things that you can't see through.

No one made a big fanfare about drawing blood in Longxi, and they wanted to suppress the ruthless tax system of the imperial court with military force.

But in fact, all the old people in the court who know about the events of the twenty-seven years know what happened back then.

And Yingcheng asked about the military affairs in Longxi, and it was inevitable that he would associate it in that direction.

And it was in the midst of all the courtiers' doubts.

Yingcheng smiled, not knowing that the courtiers below would have such associations, even if they knew, they just smiled.

He is now vigorously seeking a stable solution to all kinds of contradictions, how can he create another contradiction of the level of a nuclear explosion.

But.

"I heard that in the west of Longxi, there are still large areas of land, deserts, grasslands, and Qiang people, and in the west of Longxi, there are abundant jade, and there are many trades in business travel, but the barren beach and desert are blocked, and the effect is not great." Yingcheng said with a smile: "And among them, I heard that in the west of Longxi, west of the Yellow River, there is a kind of donkey called a strange animal!" ”

"Its appearance resembles that of a horse, mostly grayish-brown, with a large head and long ears, a body slightly smaller than the limbs, a broad neck and thick flesh, and small and solid hooves."

"It grows very fast, and it is omnivorous, it is very easy to feed, it has a strong vitality, and it is as obedient as a ploughing ox after domestication."

"What's more, it can be cultivated for four or five hours a day, regardless of the mountainous flat and rugged areas, it can be camels, and its speed is three times faster than that of ploughing oxen, and it can be used for transportation, pulling, carrying goods, plowing the fields, pulling and grinding and other tasks."

Yingcheng said with a smile.

can be below.

Feng Quji, Li Si, Wang Ben, Nei Shiteng, Zhang Shaogong and many other courtiers.

One by one, their brows furrowed, and their breathing became short.

Although they don't know.

But if it is according to Yingcheng's description, then this donkey can completely replace the ploughing cattle and become a livestock for arable land and farming and transporting goods.

"The donkey of the strange animal?" Feng Quji, as a representative, looked at Yingcheng with a confused expression and asked, "What kind of livestock is that, how come you have never heard of it?" ”

…

Feng Quji's question can be said to have won the heart of a courtier, and many courtiers also looked at Yingcheng strangely.

"It is recorded in the book of Yi Zhou that Yin Yin is a dedication, and the kingdoms of Zhengbei, Kongtong, Daxia, Shadong, Xiongnu, Loufu, and Yueshi are dedicated to real camels and wild horses." This is also the relevant record that he recalled for a long time, just like corn and potatoes, he can't directly say where to find it and can find it back, thousands of miles away, he hasn't even been out of Xianyang, how can he know, he can only find relevant records.

He immediately explained: "Among them, the real camel wild horse is the donkey of the strange animal, and there is a detailed record of the donkey shape of the strange animal in the Dog Rong Gazetteer, which is corroborated by the two phases and can be concluded with multiple references." ”

"The donkey of the strange animal can replace the ploughing ox and become the livestock for ploughing and farming."

Hear Yingcheng's explanation.

Suddenly, the entire court fell silent.

stared at Yingcheng speechlessly.

Some people even couldn't help but mutter: "Yi Zhou Shu!" Inurong Gazetteer! I'm dripping, don't you even look at this! ”

The entire court seemed to suddenly become a speechless scene.

Even.

Even Chun Yuyue, a Confucian Confucian, looked at Yingcheng with a confused face and was stunned.

"Yi Zhou Shu is my Confucian ancestor Confucius in the deletion of the Zhou book into a volume of Shangshu deleted parts, the original name is "Zhu Zhou Shilu", as the name suggests, just a lot of Zhou Dynasty kings during the period of some things, and not for the exhortation policy record, mainly recorded Zhou Wen King to King Jing during some miscellaneous matters, only later revised Confucian works, this is called "Yi Zhou Shu", but there is not much truth in it, mostly for leisure time reading."

Chun Yuyue couldn't help but sigh.

suddenly found that his identity as a Confucian leader was not fragrant.

Yingcheng knew far more about their Confucian writings than he did as a Confucian leader.

It's horrible.

I didn't expect that Yingcheng even dabbled in Yi Zhoushu.

"The Dog Rong Gazetteer mainly records the migration and change of the Dog Rong during the Shang Dynasty, and there is a great difference between the Dog Rong script and the Shang text at that time, in terms of the situation at that time, the Dog Rong was formed by the union of thousands of tribes of all sizes, which recorded the spontaneous westward migration of each tribe, south, north, repeatedly, chaotic content, after the Wushi, Qiang, Dibu, Yiqu and other large and small tribes formed a unified alliance, before it was compiled into a book."

"But at that time, there was no erudite person in the dog Rong, only based on the carving, and then after the filial piety was determined by the dog Rong, the dog Rong was moved over."

"The many tribes of the dog Rong are intricate, and the policy implemented by the filial piety of the dog Rong is also the policy of driving the wolf and the tiger, that is, the five major tribes have annexed the small tribes, large and small, and these small tribes have either relocated or surrendered, so far the change of the dog Rong has now merged into the Qin people."

"For sorting out the Dog Rong Gazetteer, it's not over."

Cheng Wuqu couldn't help but marvel in the imperial history, the imperial history of the doctor's mansion is responsible for the collection of classics in the world, and he has all kinds of books, and he also knows a little about this, so he knows the existence of the Dog Rong Gazetteer.

But.

Don't talk about him, even if he is a doctor Meng, he has never read the Dog Rong Gazetteer, and the official who is responsible for sorting out the world's classics has not dabbled in the Dog Rong Gazetteer.

…

I didn't expect Yingcheng to know about this.

It's outrageous!

"Ahem!"

Seeing the sound of dripping chatter above the court, although Feng Quji himself didn't know it, but at this time it was the time to reflect the majesty of his prime minister, he couldn't help coughing a few times to show his silence, and then said in a trembling voice: "If that's the case!" ”

"Then there is a house of gold in this book!"

"The donkey of this strange animal, I Daqin, will want it."

Feng Qujian also became extremely excited.

If the problem of cultivating cattle can be solved, it will be a major event that has plagued Daqin for hundreds of years, and the whole country will not hesitate to raise troops to the west of Longxi.

Feng Quji's words also set the thoughts of many courtiers on fire.

Moment.

The courtiers' eyes became sharp.

It was as if it had become a bunch of militants in an instant.

"In the west of Longxi, there is the Qiang Department, which broke away from the Dog Rong tribe and moved west during the Xiaogong period, separated by the desert Gobi, and did not invade my Qin State, and I don't know what the situation is over the years."

"No matter what the situation, if there is really a donkey of strange animals in the land of Qiang, then the west of Longxi will be attacked."

"The best way is to use military coercion to make the Qiang tribe bow down and make it worship the donkey of the strange animal in my Qin country."

"If the west of Longxi is really rich in donkeys with strange animals, it is best to include them in the territory of my Qin State."

Many courtiers suddenly began a heated discussion.

I don't care about the truth or the fake.

Because this was said by Yingcheng.

Since there is.

It's going to be in your own hands.

"Ahem!" It was Wang Ben, looking at the civil officials who were even more excited than their generals, and couldn't help coughing a few times: "The west of Longxi can be called the land of Hexi, and beyond the west of the river is the Western Regions, and the Taiwei Mansion has already investigated." ”

"The Qiang tribe is only one of the many tribes in the Western Regions, and in the Western Regions, there are hundreds of tribes of all sizes, and in the rapid internal friction, there are many conquests, and the Qiang tribe is close to Longxi and is located on the west of the river, but they dare not invade for fear of my Qin."

"There's a more important reason for that."

"Between Longxi and the Qiang tribe, separated by a trench Yellow River, separated by a desert with no end in sight, and separated by a bare Gobi desert, so far, Taiweifu has not figured out a smooth road to Hexi, Zhang Gong should know something."

Shaofu Mansion Commander Zhang Shaogong immediately nodded and said: "The western road has been repaired to the Gobi Desert, the north is a dry and hot desert, the west is a barren mountain and river, and the south is a mountain, but it is similar to the Qinling Mountains, from the exploration of Bashu, its south should be where the Zhangxiong tribe is located." ”

Suddenly.

A number of courtiers were lost one after another.

And Wang Ben poured cold water again: "Moreover, for the time being, my Qin State is now mainly fighting in the land of Baiyue, and now it is even more to use troops in Jiangdong, and the soldiers of various prefectures are responsible for guarding the place. ”

"But Meng Tian's main task is to resist and meet the northern Xiongnu who have repeatedly violated the border, build the Great Wall to establish the northern defense line, retreat the Xiongnu dare not attack, and the main battlefield is north of the Hetao."

"And in Longxi, there is only the Great Wall West Battalion of the Great Wall Army, with 2,000 cavalry, 8,000 foot soldiers, and three battalion captains, relying on the first battalion of soldiers and horses of the Great Wall West Battalion in Longxi, which is not enough to cross the Gobi to conquer Hexi, let alone face the complex tribes of the Western Regions."

"Even if you take out the soldiers and horses in Longxi, at most you can gather enough 100,000 soldiers and horses, and ride 19 steps, it's not that it's nothing, it's that at present, my Qin State has no power to go west."

"Unless 300,000 troops are conscripted, 100,000 cavalry are formed, and 55 cavalry are cavalry, then we have the strength to fight, and that's it, we have to consider the current supply of grain and grass in our Qin country."

"If the government treasury prepares to build 1 million bells of grain and grass, and the follow-up supply of 500,000 bells of grain and grass and the Western Road will continue to build in the Gobi, the Taiwei Mansion will prepare for the establishment of a new army within three months, and Chen Bing Weiyuan will immediately launch a war to advance westward."

"Within a year, it is guaranteed that the Qiang tribe will bow down."
