Chapter 295: Wishful Thinking
However, after Prime Minister Li Si's method was proposed, Ying Zheng didn't have time to judge whether he agreed or opposed.
Ying Changsheng on the side immediately stood up and hurriedly opened his mouth to deny.
"It's not proper, this matter must not be, if such a method is followed, wouldn't my Great Qin have to have a lot of people who will be reduced to labor for no reason?"
"But apart from this method, Weichen really has no other way!"
Li Si said helplessly.
The population under the world is so small, if you don't rely on this method.
Where can Qin find so many laborers?
It is pure wishful thinking to rely on the financial expenditure of the imperial court to hire ordinary people to do work, because for such a large project for an agricultural society, we have to hire people through expenditure and wages.
It can't be achieved at all.
Thinking about it at the moment.
Ying Zheng was about to agree to Prime Minister Li Si's approach.
At this time, Ying Changsheng stood up and opened his mouth to say.
"You can't help it, I have a suggestion, I don't know if you want to hear it or not, if you want to hear it, I'll say it!"
"Tell me about it?"
Ying Zheng suddenly became interested, he looked at Ying Changsheng and hurriedly asked.
At this time, Ying Changsheng opened his mouth and explained with a smile.
"The way, in fact, is very simple, think about it, I, Daqin, didn't I live very comfortably some time ago, there are a large number of Hun slaves available? Now, it would be better to get another batch of foreign slaves. ”
"As for making my people in Great Qin slaves? In fact, in the eyes of Erchen, this matter is beneficial and harmless, which is really inappropriate! ”
said that this won Changsheng, looked at Ying Zheng and said.
"Turning countless people into labor in vain, doesn't it mean that the world can multiply, and there are many fewer people who can pay grain and taxes for the imperial court? In the long run, the people will inevitably reduce their taxes, and in addition, the national strength will also decrease! ”
"So the idea of the retainers is to bring in slaves from foreign tribes as much as possible!"
"To put it mildly, where can I find foreign slaves? The Xiongnu have been destroyed, Baiyue has also been destroyed, and now only the Western Regions are left, but the Western Regions are far away from the Great Qin Empire, how many slaves can be captured from there, not to mention that the local population is so small, it can't withstand being caught! ”
"As for the place west of my place, there are quite a few people, but the problem is that even if you can catch it so far away, you can't bring it back!"
Prime Minister Li Si said with a frown on the side.
After Prime Minister Lisi's voice fell.
Ying Changsheng opened his mouth with a smile.
"This problem is not a problem at all, I have already figured out a solution!"
"What is the method that the Nineteenth Prince said?"
Win Changsheng said that he had already figured out a way to win the government, and Prime Minister Li Si Logistics showed a surprised expression, and both of them looked at Win Changsheng.
I want to know what kind of way to win Changsheng is.
And winning Changsheng is not ambiguous.
He explained directly.
"My solution, it's actually very simple!"
"We can go overseas to catch it!"
"Overseas?"
The moment Ying Changsheng's voice fell.
Ying Zheng and the ministers all showed puzzled expressions.
And at this time, Ying Changsheng's explanation also sounded.
"Think about it, there is such a vast world outside of Great Qin, and it is not easy to capture some slaves."
"You can't go by land, you can go by sea, for example, on the southern ocean, there are a lot of people on those islands!"
Well, the idea of winning immortality is simple.
That is, to take a large number of slaves from foreign tribes and use them for their own use.
Behavior has been used in all dynasties, and there have been many foreign slaves in history.
The most famous is the Kunlun Nu of the Tang Dynasty.
During the Tang Dynasty, there were some blacks in Kunlun, and of course more were Nanyang natives captured from small island countries in the South Seas.
At this moment, after the method of winning Changsheng was proposed, Ying Zheng and the ministers looked at each other and were thinking about the feasibility of this method.
I only heard it, and Ying Zheng opened his mouth and said.
"Is this easy? I'm afraid it's not easy, right? ”
"After all, if you go to sea for such a long distance, can you catch someone?"
"Of course!"
Ying Changsheng opened his mouth without thinking and said, in his opinion, this matter is completely feasible, because let alone from that overseas.
It's about going a little further.
It is not impossible to go to Africa and catch it.
Because the distance from Asia to Africa is not much different from the distance of the slave trade in the Age of Discovery.
Of course, in Ying Changsheng's opinion, there was no need to travel that far, because in his opinion, the slaves on the Nanyang Islands were enough for him to capture.
Well, that's not just talking.
This is the actual situation because there are a lot of local tribes, in addition to that.
The region belongs to the tropics, and the tropics themselves are rich in products and population.
It is perfectly possible to afford such a large population.
The population density is even much stronger than that of the current Great Qin Empire, and of course the Great Qin Empire is also more civilized.
Even if the Nanyang Islands are all caught cleanly and extinct, in Ying Changsheng's opinion, there is no need to go so far to catch them.
Because there is a very densely populated country on the edge of Daqin.
This country is the Tianzhu that can be reached after crossing the southwest mountains and the snowy plateau.
Later generations called it Ah San.
At present, the Three Kingdoms were destroyed by Alexander more than a hundred years ago.
Of course, it is not the destruction of the country, but the fact that an outsider defeats a foreign goods that arrived earlier.
Many, many years ago, the Aryans, were invaded and occupied.
Although the natives of India are black-looking, they are very capable and hard-working, and they are perfect for slavery.
As for the local Aryans, Brahmins, the Aryan peoples?
It doesn't seem to be a problem at all to win Changsheng.
Well, the reason is simple.
It's easy!
Alexander's crusade was set at the time of the total number of troops, and he captured so many countries and cities along the way.
Presumably, the number of troops who actually reached Tianzhu was not much.
And with such an army he brought to Tianzhu.
He was able to destroy the entire Aryan nation of Tianzhu.
Eventually occupied this land of abundance.
Although in the end, it was not able to hold.
But it's enough to prove how easy this land is to conquer.
Under such circumstances, when the invincible Qin army of the Great Qin Empire slaughtered on this land, no one could stop the footsteps of the Great Qin army.
Under such circumstances, it would have been easy to catch some slaves in the land who could do hard labor.
At this moment, looking at Ying Changsheng who was patting his chest in front of him, Ying Zheng opened his mouth and said after hesitating.
"Didn't you mention that you went to the West before? In that case, send a fleet and go out to sea to explore, and try it to see if you can catch some ......"
