It is true to arrest people to repair the Great Wall, the first emperor thought about it and really had a head, at present, there is a shortage of human resources in Daqin, and there are big projects everywhere.

"What is the population in the Fuso area? How's the armament? The First Emperor asked again.

"Armament is equivalent to nothing...... Zhao Si shook his head, right now the islands are still playing tribal hegemony, a metal weapon is a divine weapon, Xu Fu is stranded in Fusang, and there are only 10,000 people with him, as well as thousands of boys, but for the local natives, it is also a dimensionality reduction blow.

"Most of the places are tribal, and there is not even a decent city, but the population is not large...... It is estimated that these islands in the offshore sea together are enough to choke on a million ......people," Zhao Si sighed.

Not to mention that the ancient times were not fun to sail, and now Fuso and even the Korean Peninsula and other island natives add up to not much, scattered and scattered together must be more than a million, but no matter how much it is, it is not much.

The good news is that Great Qin can reduce the dimensionality of the attack, and the bad news is that it is not easy to repair the Great Wall by arresting people.

"Hmm......" the First Emperor frowned.

There are too few people...... However, it can be regarded as an unexpected joy, since the mineral deposits near Fusang Island are abundant, Daqin is bound to carry out gold and silver mining there in the future, and the local natives can come in handy, catch mining, open up fields by the way, grow food, reduce logistical pressure, and the surplus rich population can also be transported to the Central Plains to build the Great Wall.

It's a convenient thing, but because the population is too small, it is definitely impossible for Daqin to search the mountains and inspect the sea and take arresting people as its main business, that is, where there is a mine, by the way, catch some people while opening the mine.

The First Emperor probably had a basic line in mind.

Taking into account the exploitation of offshore fishing and hunting mineral deposits, and at the same time carrying out offshore exploration, there is no need for Daqin to mobilize troops to carry out overseas expansion wars, but the offshore areas can be initially developed.

Not to mention anything else, the place where there is a mine is occupied first, and it is also necessary to reclaim a certain amount of land around the mineral deposit.

The final fruit food flowed into the Central Plains and fed back to the country, which is a virtuous circle, indirectly, although Fusang and even other places suffered from the dimensionality reduction of Daqin, but Daqin also helped them complete the transition of civilization in advance, right?

Where the land is not understood, being a slave is not necessarily less than relying on primitive fishing, hunting, and farming.

"You prepare a notebook." The First Emperor motioned for Zhao Si to do it and asked Zhao Si to write everything he could think of.

At present, Zhao Si is undoubtedly the one who has the greatest right to speak overseas, but when it comes to maritime affairs, Zhao Si must not be avoided.

Zhao Si nodded when he heard this, took the blank bamboo slip handed over by the First Emperor, and then began to write and ponder.

Fishing and hunting, offshore development, and offshore exploration!

Zhao Si made a three-step side-by-side strategic proposal.

There is no doubt about the importance of offshore development and ocean exploration, offshore development brings back real money, ocean exploration can supplement the ecological environment of Daqin, correspondingly, with Daqin's emphasis on maritime affairs, Daqin's navigation industry will also usher in a blowout development, shipbuilding technology and navigation experience will also be greatly improved, the upper layer drives the lower level, and coastal residents can also benefit accordingly, benefiting from technological improvement and gradual increase in experience, and the offshore fishing industry will also usher in a blowout development.

Daqin's coastal ports will definitely increase over time.

With the increase in ports, transportation in various places will not have to be obsessed with land transportation and inland river transportation, and can rely on coastal and offshore navigation, and the transportation efficiency between ports will be greatly improved.

Zhao Si thought as he wrote.

Langya, as the first place to go to sea, is definitely the top priority, but in fact, it is better to develop offshore ports in Guangzhou and Fujian.

The ports of coastal cities are linked to each other, and a new transportation network can be formed, so is it necessary to increase the navy? If you can transport goods, you can also transport people.

"Within 10 to 20 years, gradually relax port restrictions and encourage private trade and access to the sea." Zhao Si pondered and then wrote on the bamboo slip.

Opening the sea, doesn't it mean that after the construction of the port is hastily completed, the people will be encouraged to open the sea on a large scale, just kidding, the Daqin officials must not first occupy the overseas rich mines?

After the occupation, you must not build some cities, ports? Daqin must first operate overseas to ensure its dominant position before it can liberalize maritime control.

Otherwise, once you let it go rashly, it will really be a bird in the sky and a fish leaping in the sea.

The aristocracy is not a fool, Daqin obtains a large amount of gold and silver from overseas, and the great nobles in coastal areas, such as Qidi and other regions, will definitely be tempted by it, and they have the ability to build ships and go to sea.

Those who listen to you on land may not listen to you when they go to sea.

There is only one way to avoid this, and the sea is forbidden! Yes, the premise of opening the sea is to ban the sea.

While allowing the nobles in various places to passively accept the gold and silver output of Daqin, it is strictly forbidden for the private sector to go to sea, and at the same time actively build the offshore basic plate.

Within 10 to 20 years, we will ensure the ecological control of the ports of the basic coastal routes, establish the advantage of overseas strikes, and cultivate a sufficiently good navy.

Only then can the policy of banning the sea be gradually lifted, and then it will be time to mobilize the surplus forces of the private sector to carry out large-scale overseas development.

At this time, Daqin had already obtained enough benefits, and the rest were some relatively small gold and silver mines, and the routes and ports in various places were controlled by Daqin, and the restrictions were relaxed, and the nobles could not affect Daqin's offshore rule, on the contrary, they could do some things that Daqin could not do.

For example, if the small population scattered on the islands off the coast, Great Qin would definitely not bother, but this group of nobles may not be able to transport it back to China after being caught......

Some small gold and silver deposits...... A number of small islands and settlements suitable for development...... These places that the Great Qin government can't touch, and where they don't affect the overseas dominance of Great Qin, are the places where those nobles can get their hands on.

Of course, if the nobles in various places were a little bolder, they could run out of the coastal ruling circle of Great Qin, and they could really go to Africa to grab farm tools, that was their ability.

"After the opening of the sea ban, it is necessary to set up customs taxation departments in various ports." Sea tax is also the top priority, this cannot be ignored, overseas profits are huge, how can you not cut this group of nobles after opening the sea?

"All in all, it is probably formed that the offshore shore relies on the mineral deposits in various places to establish a military cantonment port...... Relying on the garrison troops and the first-mover advantage in the coastal waters, it can basically maintain the coastal rule of Great Qin within a hundred years. ”

As for the land development in the offshore area, this kind of thing is really not something that the Great Qin government can do, and the whip is beyond the reach of the whip, and there is a lot of land that Daqin wants to develop itself, so this kind of thing has to be handed over to that group of nobles, but it doesn't matter, Daqin only needs to hold the port and military advantages, and within a hundred years, the fruits of the nobles' sea-opening labor will eventually flow to Daqin.

Zhao Si thought about it carefully, and then checked it again and again, and occasionally continued to add something when he thought of something.

The offshore area can be regarded as a basic development strategy. Open mines, open the sea by the way, and build the basic offshore plate of Daqin.

Daqin used a 10-year or even 20-year maritime ban in exchange for an overwhelming advantage in coastal operations and control of port routes in various places.

The open sea is the introduction of animals and plants, and the world investigates.

has been deleted, deleted and modified, until Zhao Si finished writing, has wasted a lot of bamboo slips, looking at the messy content on the bamboo slips, Zhao Si had to re-use the blank bamboo slips to reorganize to ensure that they are concise and straightforward enough.

In the end, the text was nearly 2,000 words, the words were simple and unpretentious, well-organized, Zhao Si felt that he had reached his peak level, which belonged to the extraordinary performance, the only fly in the ointment was that Zhao Si's handwriting was really unsightly, crooked, self-contained, and had a unique style.

No way, Zhao Si has been working hard to practice, but the brush is not so simple to practice, and it is written on the bamboo slips, which is even more a test of skill, in just a few months, to be able to write such a complex small seal on such a small bamboo slip, it is already the limit of Zhao Si's ability.

"Your Majesty, please take a look!" After Zhao Si finished tidying up, he looked up and saw that the sky was already dark.

When I wrote it, I didn't find that this plan for opening the sea actually took more than half a day, plus a small half day of talking with the first emperor, and the day was about to pass.

The first emperor took the bamboo slips, and as far as the eye could see, it was Zhao Si's unsightly calligraphy.

Forcibly enduring the discomfort and looking at it, the First Emperor was surprised to find that Zhao Si's maritime planning had been done in a reasonable, orderly, clear and straightforward manner.

Of course, from the perspective of the First Emperor, there must be shortcomings, but thinking that Zhao Si couldn't even grasp the key points of the conversation at the beginning, and now he can do it so much in just three months, which shows that he has really worked hard.

"Open the sea before the sea ban?"

The First Emperor looked at Zhao Si's plans and directions for maritime affairs one by one, and this was the first time that Zhao Si wrote an independent plan.

In the eyes of the First Emperor, in addition to the details that need to be added, it is unexpected, feasible?

For example, the sea ban is ...... If it weren't for Zhao Si's deliberate proposal, the First Emperor himself might have ignored it, and the sea tax after the opening of the sea was basically taken into account.

What is even more commendable is that Zhao Si was able to put forward a comprehensive and complete military, government, tax and civilian four-sided plan according to the maritime affairs, and at the same time did not rush it, the first emperor did not know that Zhao Si wrote this maritime plan under the condition of knowing the development process of history, and it would only be absolutely that Zhao Si did make great progress and was talented.

"What you said is good, it is indeed a three-day Shibei, and you should be impressed." The First Emperor smiled and put away the bamboo slips.

Zhao Si's plan only needs to be supplemented to a certain extent, and it can be directly put into use, which is indeed commendable.

"However, I don't know how many days it will take for me to be impressed by your handwriting." The First Emperor was very satisfied with Zhao Si's performance.

It's not just that Zhao Si provides an executable maritime plan, but also that Zhao Si has made progress visible to the naked eye.

Zhao Si could only laugh when he heard this......

"The power of calligraphy is not a day's work, and it will take some time to ......think about it."

"Stand down...... First Emperor put away the bamboo slips and waved his hand to see off the guests, and Zhao Si heard the sound and retreated.

Until Zhao Si's figure disappeared, the First Emperor's eyes looked out of the door.

Decade...... Twenty years...... Or even a hundred years?

But how many years do you have left?
