Da Qin: I exposed myself as a time traveler, why are you Zhao Gao panicking?

Chapter 192 A strategy to reclaim Baiyue!

Hearing the words, Zulong fell into deep thought and couldn't help but look at Qin Chi: "My dear, what the prime minister said is true. Do you have any good advice?"

Qin Chi took a deep breath and said slowly: "In the land of Baiyue, although the people are fierce and difficult to tame, it is located in the southern border and has abundant products and great uses. I believe that we should adopt a gentle policy and use both kindness and power. , Only then can we win over people’s hearts.”

When Li Si heard Qin Chi's words, he frowned slightly, with a look of doubt on his face, and asked: "Your Majesty said that Baiyue is rich in products. This is certainly true."

"But there are dense forests all over and the mountains are rugged. How can it be easily cultivated?"

"Even if we force the land to be reclaimed, where will the money needed come from? It consumes so much financial resources and manpower, does Mr. Qin have any solution?"

When Qin Chi heard this, his expression did not change, he smiled slightly, and answered calmly: "Prime Minister Li is very worried. It does cost a lot of money to reclaim the land of Baiyue in the early stage, but I have a plan to solve this problem!"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the attention of Zu Long, Li Si and others.

Both of them looked over with wide eyes, looking at Qin Che intently, curiously waiting for his next words.

"In the land of Baiyue, the climate is warm and humid, and rice can be harvested twice a year. This is a godsend!"

"If we can reclaim the mountainous land and plant rice extensively, the initial investment will be huge, but the cost can be recovered in just a few years!"

"Furthermore, potatoes, corn and other crops can be grown in the land of Baiyue. Together with rice, they will surely make Guizhou rich in food and clothing."

As soon as Qin Chi said this, everyone was shocked! !

Zulong's eyes flashed, obviously he was very interested in this plan!

Li Si also had a look of surprise on his face. After pondering for a moment, he slowly said: "Master Qin's plan is indeed extraordinary! If it can be implemented in this way, Baiyue Land will definitely become another granary of our Great Qin. It only needs to reclaim the mountains and plant crops." The manpower and material resources required for crops are huge, and long-term planning is needed.”

Qin Chi nodded in agreement: "What Prime Minister Li said is absolutely true, but it all depends on people. As long as your majesty is determined and we work together, why worry that the land of Baiyue cannot become the territory of our great Qin?"

After saying that, he turned to Zulong and bowed deeply: "May your Majesty make a clear decision."

Upon hearing this, Zulong nodded to show his approval, but did not rush to a conclusion.

His eyes were deep, as if he was weighing the pros and cons, and as he pondered, he revealed a hint of the emperor's unique prudence and wisdom.

He looked at Qin Chi and said slowly: "I already know the benefits of cultivating Baiyue as Aiqing said. However, the requirements for reclamation are huge. Our Qin Dynasty attacked the Xiongnu in the north and defeated Baiyue in the south. The treasury is already quite empty. Even if the rice in Baiyue is harvested twice a year, it will not be possible to reap the benefits overnight.”

After hearing this, Qin Chi's expression did not change, as if he had been prepared for it.

He bowed his hands respectfully and continued: "Your Majesty, I see it clearly, but I have one more thing to say!"

"In the south of Bainan, around the coast, there is a place called Tuoyue. It is located on the southwest border of Xiou. Although it is a foreign land, its rice can be harvested three times a year!!"

As soon as this statement came out, it was like a ground-breaking shock! !

Zulong and Li Si both looked shocked and stared at Qin Chi in disbelief!

Zu Long's eyes flashed with light, and he asked in a deep voice: "Is this true?"

Qin Chi nodded solemnly and said: "I dare to guarantee it with the head on my neck. This statement is absolutely true!"

Li Si couldn't help but interject: "If this is true, then wouldn't it be a great benefit for the Camel Crossing Land to have rice harvested three times a year?!"

Qin Chi nodded and said, "That's right. Although that kind of rice has a mediocre taste, it is drought-resistant and early-maturing, and is enough to satisfy the hunger. If this rice seed can be introduced to Da Qin and widely planted, our Da Qin will no longer have to worry about famine." Ancestor Long and Li Si looked at each other and saw shock and excitement in each other's eyes!

Zu Long took a deep breath and said slowly: "If it is true as Ai Qing said, then the benefits of reclaiming the Baiyue Land will indeed outweigh the disadvantages! It's just..."

He paused and continued: "This matter needs to be considered in the long run, and everything must be ensured."

Li Si also echoed: "Your Majesty, this matter is related to the fate of our country and the people's livelihood, so we must be cautious."

Seeing that both Zulong and Li Si were thinking deeply, Qin Chi further stated: "Your Majesty, if the land of Baiyue can be cultivated, the miasma problem can also be eliminated. However, if you want to cultivate Baiyue, it cannot be done overnight. You need to Have a long-term plan.”

He paused for a moment and then continued: "The first thing is to build Chidao and canals. If the Chidao is open, the transportation of materials will be unimpeded! If the canal is completed, the emperor's will can be quickly conveyed to the people of Guizhou and Yue!"

"In this way, the Baiyue Land can become an extension of the inland, instead of becoming a wilderness outside!"

When Zulong heard this, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, and he nodded to show his approval: "What Ai Qing said is true!!"

"The construction of Chidao and canals is the cornerstone of the reclamation of Baiyue. If this is accomplished, the land of Baiyue can become another granary of our Great Qin!"

Li Si also nodded frequently and agreed very much with Qin Chi's strategy.

Seeing Zulong's agreement, Qin Chi continued: "Your Majesty's Holy Ming, in addition to this, migrating people into Baiyue is also a key move. When people go there, they will naturally cultivate land, build houses, settle down and multiply. In this way, then The land of Baiyue can gradually be transformed into Qin people and become the territory of our great Qin."

Zulong's eyes were bright and he was very excited after hearing this!

What Qin Che said was not unreasonable, and he agreed very much.

Sending people specifically to reclaim Baiyue is a waste of financial and material resources, but migrating people to settle there is a long-term solution! !

After a brief pause, Qin Chi continued to state: "Furthermore, building a city for defense and developing trade are also indispensable strategies!"

"If the city is established, Baiyue will have support! If trade is prosperous, the economy will prosper!"

"After the economy prospers, the land of Baiyue will prosper naturally, just like the mainland!"

Li Si heard about Qin Chi's plan and couldn't help but sigh at his profound thinking and careful planning.

He also knew that this move was of great significance to the future of Great Qin. If it could be implemented in this way, the land of Baiyue would definitely become another prosperous place for Great Qin!

As soon as Qin Chi finished speaking, Zulong was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time!

The eyes of this Supreme Being shone brightly, and he was obviously impressed by Qin Chi's foresight!

Li Si also showed admiration and couldn't help but sigh at Qin Chi's outstanding intelligence!

Soon, Zu Long took the lead to break the silence and praised: "Ai Qing is really a mature man who plans for the country!"

"These plans are both comprehensive and far-reaching. They are actually the blessing of our great Qin. If we can act according to the plan, the land of Baiyue will definitely be included in our Qin's land and prosper from now on."

Li Si also echoed: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true!"

Li Sidao: "Master Qin's plan is indeed extraordinary and impressive! If the land of Baiyue can be managed and developed in this way, it will definitely become another prosperous and powerful place in our Great Qin!!"

Qin Chi humbly raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty is so complimentary. I'm just trying my best to relieve your Majesty's worries."
