Chapter 382: Showing the World Map
Chapter 382 shows the map of the world
"Your Majesty is wise." The civil and military officials responded in unison.
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said: "Fu Zikang, as the internal history of Zhili, I will leave this matter to you." I will also hand over the purchase of grain to you, and there must be no coercion.
Otherwise, I will remove you from your position as the ruler of the internal history. ”
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Wechen personally inquired into this matter, once it is found that there are officials who go against Your Majesty's wishes, Wechen will definitely not be spared." Fu Zikang said solemnly.
Ying Zheng nodded slowly and said, "I believe in you." ”
Then, Ying Zheng stood up and said, "Shang Ying changed the law to make Great Qin unify the six countries. The emperor changed the law and made Great Qin dominate the world.
Do you think the Six Nations are big? ”
"Great." A minister figured it out and said, "If Great Qin unifies the six countries, it will become the most powerful country in the world and the largest in terms of territory." ”
Another minister said: "Back to Your Majesty, the territory of Great Qin will continue to increase, there is no largest, only bigger. ”
One after another, the ministers said that the land of Great Qin was big.
Ying Zheng smiled slightly, and then clapped his hands.
Two eunuchs pushed a huge screen to the main hall, and all the civil and military officials saw that there was a map on the screen.
Li Si and the others recognized this map, which was the world map drawn by Qin An for Ying Zheng, but this map was larger, but there were many fewer countries.
Only the names of Daqin and several surrounding countries are on the map.
"What kind of map is Your Majesty, why is there only the names of Great Qin, Baiyue and other countries?" An official asked.
Ying Zheng walked to the map, pointed to the map and said loudly: "This is the map of the world, my Great Qin is here, how small it is, this is Dongying, the emperor said that there are very rich gold mines and silver mines here."
This is Africa, this is America, here is Europe, here is ......"
Qin An explained the world, as for the situation in various places, he didn't know much, but he knew that there was a nearby Mauryan Dynasty that could be compared to Great Qin, as well as the Roman Empire and ancient Egypt.
The other Yingzheng just told everyone where there was gold, where there was labor, and so on.
The ministers were shocked, then skeptical, then excited, then excited.
They looked at the map, as if they saw a huge cake, as long as Yingzheng gave an order, they would divide the cake.
Meng Wu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty." Mengwu is willing to expand your territory. Add more land for Daqin. ”
Ying Zheng bowed his head and said: "General Meng's ability, I believe in it, wherever you lead the army, there is the land of Great Qin." ”
"Thank you for your trust." Meng Wu said excitedly.
What a glorious thing it was to be recognized by the First Emperor.
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "Although I believe in your ability, but now that you are sending troops to fight, do you think it is a good thing or a bad thing for Great Qin?" ”
"It is of course a good thing to open up territory for Great Qin." Meng Wu said.
Ying Zheng sighed and said, "Meng Yi, you come on." ”
"No." Meng Yi said in a deep voice, "Now that Great Qin's troops are close to saturation, if we recruit troops again, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the people." ”
"As long as you become a soldier, you can get military merits, don't they want to be a marquis and pay homage to the prime minister?" Meng Wu asked.
Meng Yi shook his head and said: "Father, the world has just been unified, and the people are unwilling to raise swords again, this is the will of the people."
Today's Great Qin is not only the Great Qin of the Qin State, but the Great Qin Dynasty, and the people it has are not only the old Qin people, but also the people of the first six countries.
The imperial court must treat them equally, so that they can become real Qin people, otherwise they are just people who do anti-Qin things in the name of Qin people.
Now, it has not been long since His Majesty has just unified the six countries, and there are countless wastelands in various places, and the food has just coped with the number of the current imperial army.
Although there are potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn from the emperor, there are also rice from the land of Baiyue. But. For us, these are just getting started, and we haven't gotten around yet.
Therefore, for the imperial court, whether it is recruiting troops or going on an expedition, now is not the best time. ”
"When is the best time to do that?" Meng Wu asked.
Meng Yi thought for a while and said: "The land of Baiyue is fully developed, and the hearts of the people of Baiyue are returned to Daqin, and in addition, the telegraph line is laid throughout Daqin, not only in the major counties, but also in the townships and villages."
There is also no shortage of food for the people in the world, and merchants are all over Daqin, at that time, there was no need for his father to recruit soldiers, and his own businessmen explored the world for the imperial court, and even helped the imperial court win the world. ”
"Haha......" Meng Wu laughed, "what can a group of businessmen do?" Do they take money to buy land? ”
"That's right, a merchant can buy land." Meng Yi said, "Businessmen can influence a country.
You may not know that a good businessman can buy a country directly and become king himself.
I'm not alarmist, but their country is backward.
The emperor once said that the state is the strong backing of merchants, and he wants merchants to influence other countries. Then your own country should be strong enough.
And the strength of the country requires not only a large number of soldiers, but also the overall national strength.
Militarily, Daqin has a large number of troops, and in terms of weapons, we have the most advanced weapons in the world.
Culturally, we learn what other countries want to learn.
Technologically, that's far ahead of the world.
Commercially, we've got the world.
With the backing of such a powerful country, merchants can do whatever they want in each country, buy low and sell high, and even directly rob each other's gold mines, silver mines, and so on.
This is better than sending troops, saving money, time and effort. ”
Meng Wu said angrily: "If this is the case, what is the use of our generals? ”
"Of course, the other party was not convinced and beat them." Meng Yi said.
"Alright." Ying Zheng opened his mouth and said, "Meng Wu, I know your intentions, but Daqin is in ruins now.
The development of the land of Baiyue was the first task, followed by the countries of the Western Regions, followed by the Mauryan Dynasty, and then the sea to conquer the world.
What Great Qin needs now is self-development, not crusades.
If Daqin didn't have so many people, even if he owned the world, it would just be a passing thing.
The current Great Qin needs development and population.
Don't you see this world map and realize that the population of my Great Qin is too small for the whole world?
Ten years, just about to increase the population tenfold in ten years.
I will send those landless people to other countries, the first country is Dongying, and I will make Dongying the county of Dongying.
In ten years, Great Qin Wei will undergo earth-shaking changes.
Again, I advise what is Aiqing, don't do things that endanger the development of Daqin, if I want food, you have to borrow my grain, and if I want money, you have to borrow money.
Whoever dares to stumble on my sword will blame me for being ruthless under my sword. ”
The civil and military officials suddenly knelt down and said, "Weichen doesn't dare." ”
Some people died, but not completely......
