But these words made Meng Yi feel helpless. He knew that he had asked Wang Li to attack Baiyue for slaves in recent years. In the process, Da Qin soldiers also suffered many casualties.
For generals, war is necessary and what they desire, but one thing is that with Xiazhou's current horrific amount of construction work, coupled with the expenditure on war, this is an extremely huge number.
He also has his own difficulties.
It's just that he didn't have the face to say these things in front of Ying Gao. As a minister, his purpose is to solve problems for the king, not to create problems for the king.
"If the Chi Road is not connected, Xiazhou will not be stable. At that time, it will be extremely difficult to send troops or transport grain and grass."
Ying Gao looked at the construction site that was in full swing and couldn't help but shook his head and said: "The reason why I have deployed so many troops in Xiazhou is to allow you and others to do whatever they want."
"A hundred thousand troops stationed here are enough to sweep away all dangers, so Chidao must be dealt with as soon as possible."
Under Qin's laws, corruption may occur, but in areas like Xiazhou, even if it does exist, it is not on a large scale. Ying Gao does not want to get involved in this matter.
He just wants to make things clear and completely transform Xiazhou into the Qin Dynasty. For this reason, he can tolerate some things that don't go beyond the bottom line.
"I understand."
Seeing Meng Yi and others nodding, Ying Gao looked at the Chidao under construction and said quietly to Tie Ying, "When we return, we will set up an inspection team of a thousand people to inspect the construction level of the Chidao."
"Before the Qin Dynasty completely destroys Zhao, the Chi Road within Xiazhou and Liangzhou must be fully connected, so that the Silk Road can play its due role."
"promise."
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Ying Gao turned to Wang Ben and said: "Mengzhou Mu continues to be in charge of Yuecheng, while Gu and Uncle Wang are heading to Shennong Valley. Their speed is too slow."
"promise."
Ying Gao knew that scientific research could not blindly pursue speed. However, Daqin did not have so much time, and the optimization of grain varieties was imperative. Once the Champa rice was successfully developed, it would make the entire south a land of plenty.
In this way, after the Qin Dynasty establishes the empire, the world will be united, and the treasury will be sufficient, so that major chaos and drought will not occur. In this way, if the Qin Dynasty uses troops in the future, the court will not unite to oppose it.
His identity has changed.
He is no longer a simple prince of the Qin Dynasty, but the prince of the Qin Dynasty. Under such circumstances, his words and deeds represent the court of the Qin Dynasty.
Therefore, the rules must be followed.
Although this matter made him uncomfortable, the biggest beneficiaries of obeying the rules were Qin Wangzheng and him, the crown prince of Qin.
There has never been peace in the Qin Dynasty. All prosperous times require blood and forging. In this life, Ying Gao has such an opportunity. He naturally hopes to change the fate and make the Qin Dynasty eternal.
Watching Ying Gao leave, Meng Yi had a pensive look in his eyes. He had seen Ying Gao's vigorous and resolute actions, and he knew even more how ruthless and crazy this young man was.
The Crown Prince of Qin was like this, so he was inevitably a little worried
Wan Sheng's army was dispatched, accompanied by Iron Eagle warriors. Ying Gao led a mighty group of people towards the Shennong Valley. This was not Xianyang. Even though Wang Li had controlled an army of 100,000, Ying Gao was still very powerful.
cautious.
Naturally, he would not travel with only two thousand Iron Eagle warriors, because if an accident occurs, it is impossible to achieve the support of a large army in a short time.
For your own safety, it is easiest to lead a large army.
Gu Nai/span>The people from Wumuya led the way, and three days later, Ying Gao and others arrived at the Shennong Valley.
"I pay my respects to the crown prince!" Everyone, led by Shennong, saluted Ying Gao one after another.
"You don't have to be polite!"
Ying Gao stood up and dismounted, stretched out his hand to help the people in Shennong Valley, and said: "For the sake of the Qin Dynasty and the people of the world, you are trapped here and cannot return home. I admire you for your righteousness."
"My father and I both remember you."
"Prince, although there have been some breakthroughs in the research and development of Shennong Rice, it has not yet reached the level required by the prince. According to my speculation and observation, it will take at least several years." As the controller of Shennong Valley, he has always been known as He is Shen Nong.
"A few years have passed too long. The Qin Dynasty has destroyed Han, and has completely started the great cause of going east to destroy the country. Rice that meets the requirements needs to be researched before the Chu is destroyed, and enough rice seeds need to be cultivated."
"So, there is not much time left for you, which is why I went south to Xiazhou to come to Shennong Valley at this time."
Ying Gao naturally knew that the so-called Zhancheng rice was only one of the methods, and it was only suitable for planting in Xiazhou, Baiyue, and Chu lands, but it was not suitable in the northwest or the north.
But he only has these abilities at the moment. Whether it's sweet potatoes, corn, or potatoes, Da Qin needs to integrate all the building warriors to do it.
Moreover, the potatoes and sweet potatoes of this era were inevitably not as high-yield as those of later generations. Therefore, Shennong Valley developed Champa rice to accumulate experience.
As the saying goes, things will be prosperous and people will be prosperous.
Only if there is no shortage of food, the population of Daqin will explode as expected.
"I understand that the Crown Prince's strong support for Shennong Valley over the years has been clearly seen by me. Regarding this, I will strive to achieve results as soon as possible."
Finally, Shennong stated that he knew in his heart that although it was inconvenient to study here, the rice was all here, so he could only study it here and then gather the power of the Central Plains to support it.
"Um."
Ying Gao nodded slightly, smiled lightly at the people in Shennong Valley, and said: "You just need to go all out in research and development. Whatever is needed, Guhui will give its full support."
"If the Xiazhou Prefectural Mufu is unable to meet your needs, it will pass the news to Gu, who will think of ways to gather the power of Great Qin in Xianyang to meet your needs."
"promise."
Food is the most important thing for the people.
Ying Gao attaches great importance to the research and development of Champa rice. He knows in his heart that this is a kind of pioneering. Once he has experience, potatoes and other seeds will naturally be cultivated in a short time.
By that time, Da Qin will be truly qualified to enter a prosperous age, and its population may reach 60 to 70 million.
After all, he is still young and has at least two more twenty years left to witness the prosperity of Great Qin.
At this moment, everyone in Shennong Valley also had red eyes. They were farmers and their status was not high, but they saw from Ying Gao that he valued them.
This is a hope.
It is a hope for the rise of farmers, and whether they come from farmers or those who came from the history of the Qin Dynasty, they all hope that there will be no hungry people in the world.
They all have a simple ideal, which is to make the world no longer famine and make everyone in the world well fed.
