Sihai Palace, Li Si and I looked up, Feng Youcheng was carried into the hall by the two, the whole person was pale, and he got up with difficulty and wanted to salute, I hurriedly said: "Feng Jun is exempt from etiquette, lie down and talk back." ”

Feng Youcheng raised his hands and arched his hands: "Your Majesty, the minister is rude!" ”

I sighed heavily and blamed myself: "Feng Junshou was hit by seven swords in his body for the sake of Daqin, and my heart is like a knife!" ”

Feng Youcheng smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty is very kind, this matter is the fault of the minister, I never expected that Ha Zhusu would betray Daqin, it should be the minister's own doing!" ”

I smiled and said indifferently: "It is not uncommon for fathers and sons to be suspicious of each other, not to mention people of different races, Feng Junshou does not have to blame himself. This incident has taught me and you a great lesson, and you must be careful when dealing with people of different races in the future. ”

Feng Youcheng nodded and responded: "Your Majesty is very right, the minister returned to Xianyang this time, and he also wanted to ask His Majesty how to treat the Hu people in the future." ”

I had already planned for this matter, and when I heard this, I said in a deep voice: "Wu Jian obeyed my edict, and although he penetrated Beihu, he did not commit any offense against Beihu's people. However, people's hearts are unpredictable, and the people of Beihu may not be like Hazhusu and Zalut who are superficially subservient and secretly rebellious. ”

"It just so happened that I was mixing the Wushi Rong and the Donghu people with the Huns, and now that the Northern Hu has been pacified, they are also allowed to live with the three, so that they can contain each other. Li Xiang, you can do this thing. ”

Li Si arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, after all, Beihu and Donghu belong to the same family, although they have a hundred years of grievances, but if they live together for a long time, will they reunite and form a threat?" ”

I nodded, my eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "That's for sure." Therefore, in addition to instilling in them the idea of subordination to Daqin by various means, the officials sent to the steppe to manage the Hu and Xiongnu should also pay attention to their relations from time to time, if it is just a private struggle that does not involve the interests of Daqin, they should not be ignored, and if they have a tendency to ease relations, then these officials will secretly do something to re-intensify their contradictions! ”

Li Si and Feng Youcheng nodded and agreed: "Your Majesty is wise! ”

I glanced at Feng Youcheng and said with concern: "I have already explained to Su He, you can recuperate from your injuries in Xianyang, and the governor of Shanggu will be temporarily replaced by the county lieutenant in advance, and then return to Shanggu when your injuries are healed." ”

Feng Youcheng said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

The border counties are originally military-oriented, and the county lieutenants are military governors who are directly under the management of the emperor and compete with the county guards, so naturally there is no problem.

After Feng Youcheng left, I asked Qi Juan to call Bai Chong and Yu Jin over.

"Now that the grassland has been calmed, it's time to start choosing a site for the new city." I looked at Bai Chong and said: "The grassland area is quite large, but the population is relatively small, so it is divided into six counties, you send people to investigate the local terrain, and then select the six counties to govern the place, and after selection, start planning the drawings of the new city." ”

Then I beckoned the three of them to come closer, pointed to the map on the case, and said: "When it was built, the cities around Beihai and Daze were the first, where the rivers were dense and there was water vapor from the Arctic Ocean, and the soil was more fertile than the distance to the Great Wall. Moreover, there are Hangai Mountains and Kent Mountains, and it is also convenient to take stones and wood. ”

Bai Chong was a little worried: "Your Majesty, I heard that the north of the Great Wall is completely uncultivateable, and there is no problem in the construction of the city, but if it cannot be cultivated after completion, will it be a waste of manpower." ”

I nodded and agreed: "Your worries are not unreasonable, have you been to Yongcheng and Liyang?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, I've been there."

"The city on the grassland is built according to the structure of Yongcheng and Liyang, more precisely, a castle!" I took out the rough diagram that I had prepared and pointed out: "The castle is mainly divided into two areas, one is the main area of the castle, which is mainly used for defense, and the other part is the cultivation area, and the aqueduct needs to be planned. ”

"As long as the aqueducts are planned, at least the crops can be planted in the summer, but it is only a matter of yield. In order to increase yields, it is necessary to increase the fertility of the fields, and the most important thing on the grassland should be cow dung, which can be used to make farm fertilizer. ”

Then I told them about the method of manure one by one, and finally said: "You know that manure cannot be directly used for fertilization, after manure can greatly improve the fertility effect, the land of the forty-eight counties is relatively fertile, I did not tell you this method before, and now this method can also be promoted to the world." ”

A few people were amazed again, and I handed them the drawings and the method of making manure, and then said, "Another thing is the Langya shipyard. ”

Bai Chong and Li Si were next to me during the eastern tour, so they naturally knew that I was going to build a shipyard.

Li Si didn't expect me to put it into practice so soon, hesitated for a moment, and said carefully: "Your Majesty, it's not particularly worrying that there are Beihu soldiers in the grassland new city, but now Xianyang New Town, Jiuquan Dunhuang, Henglu Road, Jiuyuan Forbidden Land, Panyu Lighthouse and other major projects are still under construction or about to start construction. ”

I pondered for a moment, there is indeed this risk, although the enemies around Great Qin have been completely eradicated, but the new seventeen counties plus the Western Regions are all unstable factors, if there is another war, then Great Qin will be dangerous.

I glanced at Yu Jin: "Is the large instrument manufactured?" ”

If those simple excavators, bulldozers, and tower cranes can be made, at least they can save more than half of the manpower, and the most important thing in Daqin now is livestock, and the horses of the entire grassland have been collected and driven to Hexi for grazing, although the horses cannot be used to plough the land, but there is no problem in carrying heavy loads.

Yu Jin said in fear: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, the minister studied day and night, but those utensils are too large, just the components needed are extremely difficult to build, and after assembly, it is also necessary to verify whether it can withstand the huge force and whether it can play a role. ”

I nodded, I didn't blame him, I just thought about this thing according to the principle, and I can't guarantee whether it can be made or whether it will have an effect.

"So let's wait a little bit." I instructed Bai Chong: "But the shipyard needs on-site survey and design drawings, which cannot be completed in a short time, you first send someone to the site to investigate and then draw drawings, and the construction will be put first." ”

Li Si was a little strange and wondered, "Why is Your Majesty in a hurry to build a new shipyard?" Is it just to go to East Qinzhou and bring back those potatoes and corn? ”

I smiled and said helplessly: "Li Xiang, if someone can give me the seedlings and seeds of these two crops now, I am willing to exchange the three years of grain in the entire Taicang!" ”

They don't know how strong the yield and adaptability of these two crops are after artificial cultivation, although there are many side effects, but there is no doubt about the positive effect of increasing the number of people, population is the most important thing for an ancient empire!
