Master of the Heavens

Chapter 68 Enhancing National Strength ([-])

Now that the immortals have come, it is a test to unify the world, and it is very necessary to conquer Baiyue and the Xiongnu.

"What do you love me?"

Ying Zheng was dressed in a black robe, with deep eyes hidden behind the crown.

After hearing Wei Liaozi's words, he didn't express his opinion, but asked the officials.

"Baiyue is located in the south, the climate is hot and humid, there are many miasma and poisonous insects, it is difficult to travel, I think it is inappropriate."

"It has only been three years since the world stopped fighting. Our Great Qin soldiers have the power to sweep the world, but we have to take into account the war-weariness of the people."

"I think this is not feasible. Our Daqin is short of food and grass now, and the supply line that stretches for thousands of miles consumes more. We need to prepare more for the battle."

Immediately, some ministers stood up and refuted.

After listening quietly, Wei Liaozi said, "What you said is indeed reasonable, but I have thought about it."

"What you said is nothing more than food and grass supplies, miasma and poisonous insects, and people's hearts."

"Food and grass, Baiyue is not a small land. There are three borders in the southwest, south, and southeast. The long front also means that grain and grass can be transferred from many places."

"Minxin, this battle is a battle of counterattack, a battle of showing off our prestige, and the battlefield is far in the southwest, so the impact will not be great."

"As for the miasma and poisonous insects," Wei Liaozi suddenly smiled when he said this: "It is indeed a difficult task for ordinary people like me, but for the emperor teacher, it is easy."

Taking out a small wooden box from his bosom, Wei Liaozi opened it, inside was a stack of shiny square jade pieces and a small jade bottle.

"Insect repellent, can expel poisonous insects, avoid miasma pill, can avoid miasma infestation."

"With this treasure I begged from the emperor, poisonous insects and miasma will not be a problem."

"Besides!"

Wei Liaozi's eyes turned cold all of a sudden: "A mere small country dares to challenge our Great Qin's majesty, and the barbarians dare to bully our Great Qin Shangguo!"

"If you don't send a large army to suppress it, how can you deter the world?"

The sound echoed in the hall, and it was silent for a while.

"The small country of Yelang must be destroyed." Ying Zheng said, "But to conquer the land of Baiyue, there is no rush."

When Ying Zheng said this, everyone in the court hall was shocked.

This matter was promoted by Yingzheng from the beginning, and it was even planned to send 50 troops to the south. The court debate was just a drama, why did it change now?
Everyone has thought that the only one who can change the general situation is the emperor teacher!
"Governing the world, whether it is to appease the people of the empire, prosper the Great Qin, or conquer the world and expand the territory, there are three things that cannot be separated."

"Food, population and force."

"Population is the foundation of a huge empire. Only with population can we open up wasteland and cultivate land, produce talents, and form more armies."

"Food is the most important thing for the people. If you want more people, and if you want the people to return to their hearts, you need enough food."

"As for force, it is the spear and shield of the empire."

"Since the Reformation of Lord Shang, my Great Qin has rewarded farming and war, and encouraged births. However, many years of fighting have indeed consumed too much."

Ying Zheng leaned forward slightly.

"Instead of using the lives of my Great Qin soldiers to expand the territory little by little, I think it would be better to raise the strength of Great Qin to the point where the world is crowned, and then sweep the earth!"

In the past few days, after Yingzheng accepted the inheritance of Yunchao's practice, in addition to practicing seriously, he was studying in the Taoist palace.

Naturally, what he was reading was the history books that Yang Yuxi bought from the system mall.

The whole world, from the birth of the earth, to the formation of human beings, to the birth of numerous civilizations.

The history of Yanhuang and other nationalities has been roughly read by Ying Zheng.

With Daqin's current strength, it would be impossible to rule the world within five years if he continued to fight.

To complete the test, the only way to improve Daqin's strength is fundamental!

"I got something from the emperor's teacher." Ying Zheng said and looked outside the hall, and several guards came in carrying three boxes.

"High-yield food."

"Papermaking, printing."

"Also, practice exercises."

Everyone looked at the box in the guard's hand, full of curiosity.

What is so miraculous about this thing His Majesty specially asked for from the Emperor Master?

The three boxes were opened one by one.

"Li Xiang is very knowledgeable, but do you know that he is rich in learning?"

Li Si quickly got up, thought for a while and replied: "If you remember it well, it should be from the chapter of "Zhuangzi".

"As expected of Li Xiang." Ying Zheng nodded with a smile, "Keiko has a lot of knowledge, although it means that he is knowledgeable, but it also shows one thing."

"That is the bulkiness and inconvenience of the bamboo slips."

"I review memorials every day, and I also need a cart of bamboo slips."

"Nowadays, the rich use silk and satin cloth as paper, or use high-quality bamboo slips to record words, but the common people, with few literate people, write on wooden boards."

"If you want to rule the world, you need more talents, and talents need literacy."

"How to make the world literate? Papermaking, printing!"

Sensing Ying Zheng's gaze, the two guards quickly took out a snow-white piece of paper from a box. Compared with the paper after more than 2000 years, except for being thicker to fit the brush, there is no slight difference in other aspects such as smoothness and whiteness. the difference.

Then all the court officials got a piece of white paper.

"This kind of paper is made of bamboo and wood, and it can be found anywhere." On the long case in front of Ying Zheng, there was also a stack of paper with some words written on it.

The silk and satin used for writing is also called paper nowadays, but compared with bamboo and wood paper, it is not only inconvenient to carry, but also extremely expensive, even Ying Zheng, the Great Qin Emperor, would not give it up.

Then the guards took out a thick stack of paper from the box, with densely printed words on it, which was the law of the Great Qin Dynasty.

"This! What kind of method is this?"

Li Si's eyes widened and he stuck it on the paper, then stroked the writing on it.

"This is the teacher's help to my Daqin. It is used to supply Daqin's officials to handle government affairs and students. With Daqin's current ability, it can only produce worse paper."

"These papers will be engraved and printed on the Qin Law, which will be popular all over the world. Local officials often explain that the Qin Law is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it also improves the literacy rate."

"Meng Yi, leave this matter to you."

Ying Zheng was rather proud of seeing all the civil and military officials in a daze.

I listened to the teacher before, and I was like this, so I naturally want you to feel it.

"Your Majesty obeys the order!" Meng Yi quickly got up to accept the order, thinking in his heart that he would ask his elder brother to ask His Majesty how to deal with it.

"Papermaking and printing are a way for the prosperity of the Great Qin, and food is the foundation of the prosperity of the Great Qin."

"In this box is the food that I specially asked for from the teacher, and it can even be called a fairy seed!"

Ying Zheng stepped down from the high platform, and personally picked up a variety of grains from the box.
