Chapter 875 Tangerines are oranges in Huainan, oranges are oranges in Huaibei (Chapter 1)
The atmosphere fell into silence, and Li Si and others were thinking about this matter. They wanted to see the impact of this matter on Da Qin, and whether to send agricultural experts south.
For Qin, this is a good thing.
However, it may not necessarily be a good thing for the Great Qin court. At this time, as officials of the Great Qin, they not only have to consider the interests of thousands of people, but also the interests of the Great Qin court and the interests of the King of Qin.
Xiazhou has been established in the extreme south. Although the state pastor is Meng Yi, who is the absolute confidant of Qin Wangzheng, the state captain is Wang Li, and Wang Li is the absolute confidant of Gongzi Gao.
Therefore, the current situation in Xiazhou is very complicated.
Moreover, Meng Yi is in Xiazhou, and Meng Tian is also in charge of Xianyang Pole South Road in Bashu, and he is currently in Dacheng, Xiazhou.
According to the news that came before, they all knew that an iron ore vein no less powerful than Liangzhou had been found in Xiazhou, and that both Meng Tian and Ying Gao had large armies.
For a time, Li Si and Wang Wan thought a lot, and they directly considered the possible and impossible things that could happen.
After all, they are Ying Zheng's confidants. Even if they want to make Great Qin strong enough, they will still consider the interests of Qin Wangzheng.
Only after fully considering the interests of Qin Wangzheng, will the interests of Great Qin be taken into consideration.
"I wonder what the king plans to do with the request in the silk book written by the young master?" After a while, Li Si put down the silk book in his hand and asked Ying Zheng.
At this moment, as Li Si spoke, Wang Wan and Zheng Guo both focused on Ying Zheng. They both knew that no matter what the matter was, only when Ying Zheng set the tone could they achieve the greatest benefit possible.
change.
In particular, this matter also related to Gongzi Gao. Without Ying Zheng's clear stance, they did not dare to say nonsense. Sometimes, if they said something wrong, there would be a life or death crisis.
This is the imperial struggle.
So Li Si spoke. There were too many people involved in this, and both the relationships and interests that needed to be considered were extremely complicated. Li Si didn't want to make a mistake and offend Ying Gao, Meng Tian, Mengyi, Wang Li and others.
Otherwise, except for Yingzheng's death guarantee, he would not be able to stay in Daqin at all.
In Xiazhou, there are not only the Mengtian brothers, but also Gongzi Gao, and Wang Jian's direct grandson. Is this a large-scale sphere of influence? Almost all of them are the pinnacle forces of the Qin army.
"Of course we want to send the farmers south, but the reason why I asked you to come is because firstly, the extreme south is too far away from Xianyang, and secondly, you also know how much impact this incident will have on Da Qin."
Ying Zheng took a deep look at Li Si. He was naturally aware of the concerns of Li Si and others.
After all, Ying Gao is his heir and the Wu'an Lord of the Qin Dynasty, and Wang Li is Wang Jian's direct grandson, representing the military Wang family, while Meng Tian and Meng Yi represent the military Meng family.
These are three giants, which Li Si cannot compete with at this moment. Li Si's family is not an aristocratic family, but just a noble family.
"Your Majesty, the current situation is that, according to what Lord Wu An said, the two-crop grains per year are more suitable for the climate and soil of Xiazhou, and our Daqin is located in Guanzhong, both in terms of climate and environment.
, are completely different.”
Zheng Guo, as the official responsible for controlling grain crops and controlling grain crops in the Qin Dynasty, was naturally more aware of the impact of water and soil on crops. Youdao said that where water and soil nourish a person, this has always been the case.
"Your Majesty, there is a story recorded in "Yanzi Chunqiu Neipian Miscellanies": When Yanzi from Qi State came to Chu State, the King of Chu wanted to tease him and deliberately escorted a prisoner from the hall."
"The King of Chu asked: What crime did this man commit? The Chu ministers at that time replied: "A Qi man committed the crime of stealing."
"At that time, the King of Chu said to Yan Zi, do you people in Qi like to steal things? Then Yan Zi replied to the King of Chu, "There are big and sweet oranges in Huainan. Once they are transplanted to Huaibei, they turn into oranges.
It’s sour and small, why?”
"Because the soil is different."
"What I want to do is to first test the crops that will be harvested twice a year in Xiazhou, and then continue to optimize them according to Gongzi Gao's wishes, and then try to plant them in other places!"
At this point, Zheng Guo handed over to Ying Zheng and said: "The imperial court is preparing to go eastward to sweep the six kingdoms. I cannot go south in a short time. My suggestion is to let Datian Ling lead the outstanding peasants who have joined us in Great Qin and the natives of our Great Qin."
The agricultural experts we trained went south.”
"These people are extremely valuable to the Qin Dynasty. I suggest sending a large army to protect them as they go south!"
Naturally, Li Si and Wang Wan would not be dissatisfied with this matter as they were professional counterparts to Zheng Guo. They needed to consider other aspects instead of focusing on the cultivation of grain seeds.
"Um!"
Ying Zheng nodded and felt that what Zheng Guo said was true. The two crops of rice this year were of great significance to the Qin Dynasty.
From the silk book, he naturally understood that this grain, which is harvested twice a year, is not only suitable for planting in Xiazhou, but also some parts of Bashu.
However, Chu and Baiyue are more suitable for planting. Even in the land of Baiyue, if conditions permit, it can achieve three crops a year. This gives Ying Zheng one more reason to conquer Chu and Baiyue.
Moreover, once it is said, it can make the entire Qin ministers and even the government and the public surrender happily, and it is a reason that cannot be refuted at all.
After thinking about this, Ying Zheng turned to Li Si and Wang Wan and said, "Do the two prime ministers have any opinions on the governance of Su Nei Shi? Or should I say they have ideas?"
Hearing this, Li Si and Wang Wan looked at each other and motioned to Wang Wan to let Wang Wan speak first.
After receiving Li Si's signal, Wang Wan nodded, raised his hand towards Ying Zheng, and said: "Your Majesty, I also agree with the method of governing Su Neishi, but the extreme south is too far away from Xianyang."
"Once the twice-a-year grain harvest is successfully tested in the Far South, there will not only be granaries in the Far South, but also hundreds of thousands of troops. I have no doubts about the general and Lord Wu An."
"However, most of the troops heading south under Lord Wu'an are New Qin people. I'm afraid these people have not yet returned home and are not as reliable as me, the Old Qin people."
"Moreover, iron ore veins have been discovered in Daliao. As a result, the danger will continue to increase."
"Moreover, the road between Bashu and Guanzhong is blocked. As long as someone is willing, they can cut off Xiazhou and even the news between Bashu and Xianyang."
"What I mean is that we should first conduct trial planting on a small scale in the extreme south and cultivate better grain varieties first. Once the Bashu Road to Xianyang is opened and the general begins to build the southern Bashu Road, we can then spread the planting."
"In this way, it will be conducive to giving priority to cultivating grain seeds, and can also control the risk within a certain range!"
