Chapter 905 Site selection! Ask for a monthly ticket)
Master Sima never doubted Ying Gao's vision and ability, but he knew that at this moment, Ying Gao's focus was not on the extreme south at all, but on Xianyang.
Although they have vision and knowledge, it is often difficult to avoid accidents caused by negligence due to impatience, and their existence as courtiers is to prevent the emperor from doing so.
Although doing this often makes the superiors unhappy, as subordinates, they have to do it.
What's more, he controls an organization that is not very comfortable in itself, and he doesn't care about dissatisfaction and resentment.
"Well, the physique of these scholars is indeed very poor. Although they are not incompetent, they are still a little worse than the generals in the army. The climate in the extreme south is very different from that in Guanzhong. It is okay to let them adapt for a while.
"
Ying Gao could naturally think of the problems that Master Sima could think of. He knew in his heart that Master Sima's worries were not unreasonable, and Xiazhou was just the beginning.
In the future, with the footsteps of the great Qin warriors, more and more areas will be occupied by Great Qin. These places cannot always be suppressed by military force, and will eventually need to be enlightened by civil servants.
This is also the reason why Ying Gao built the academy in Daqin at all costs from the beginning, even paying for it himself. This was not a selfless contribution on his part, but a reason why he had to do so.
With a sigh in his heart, Ying Gao took a sip of tea and said to Master Sima: "According to the speed of these people, how long will it take for them to reach Ailao King City?"
"General Ying, according to the speed of these people, if there are no accidents on the way, Ying Gao will reach Ailao King City in five days." Sima Shi said respectfully.
Hearing this, Ying Gao frowned slightly. He understood the meaning behind Sima Shi's words. These people would be able to reach Ailao King City in five days without any accident. If they got sick or something, they would have to move back.
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Ying Gao asked Master Sima again, "Where are Qin Jinzhong and others?"
"General Ying, the speed of General Qin Jinzhong's troops is not much faster than these soldiers, and is even worse than these soldiers. Because they coerce the people to go north, their speed is greatly delayed."
Master Sima raised his hand towards Ying Gaoyi and said: "According to the advancing speed of General Qin Jinzhong's troops, it will take seven days at the fastest to reach Ailao King City. If it is late, it may only take half a month."
After learning the answer he wanted from Master Sima, Ying Gao felt no joy at all. He knew in his heart that if he followed the speed of Qin Jinzhong and the soldiers heading south, he would need to stay in Ailao King City for a month.
The weather is getting colder and colder, winter is coming.
At that time, even if he goes north, it will not be conducive to marching. In this era, no one except that monster Bai Qi dares to use troops in winter.
After a moment of silence, Ying Gao gave instructions to Master Sima: "Please come here, including Meng Yi, Fan Zeng, Lord Ailao and others!"
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Master Sima turned and left.
Ying Gao turned to Tie Ying standing under the porch and ordered: "Lead Tie Ying's warriors to clear the way, escort the general and the military advisor and others, and then notify Weichang Temple and let him lead the Wan Sheng Army and be ready to rush to help at any time.
."
Hearing this, Tie Ying couldn't help but be shocked. Ying Gao's words were too easy for people to think of. As Ying Gao's bodyguard, he had to confirm the possibility of this happening.
"General Ying, is it dangerous to go out this time?"
Rolling his eyes at Tie Ying, Ying Gao hated the fact that iron could not become steel, and said: "I am doing this just in case. The entire Ailao King City is now under the control of our army, so what danger can there be?"
"But since I am going out, I naturally have to remind Weichang Temple to be more vigilant."
At this moment, Tie Ying was a little embarrassed and could not help but look at Ying Gao in embarrassment and said: "I understand, I will inform General Weichang Temple now."
"Um!"
Ying Gao waved his hand, signaling Tie Ying to leave.
He didn't have high hopes for Tie Ying. Since General Ying sent him as his bodyguard, it meant that Tie Ying was only a bodyguard.
He had no doubt at all about the talent of Xianyang Palace, and once he had a talent that could be made, his father would never let a talent be buried and become his bodyguard.
Even if he is Lord Wu'an of Great Qin, it won't work. What's more, Tie Ying only comes to him and he is just an ordinary young master.
After Tie Ying left, Ying Gao came to the huge map in the study. Although Jing Yesi had mapped it in advance, the map was not accurate.
It is just a simple description of the extreme south and the south of Bashu.
However, standing in front of this map, Ying Gao could roughly see something. As for the more detailed map, Ying Gao had no hope in a short time.
He knew in his heart that all that would only happen after Meng Yi mapped the specific territory.
"This is the Zhou River, this is the Lancang River, this is Tianzhu in later generations, and this is the Mekong River. But where is the most appropriate location for this academy?"
Looking at the map, Ying Gao was a little confused.
He needed to stay in Ailao King City for a month, which made his thoughts about the academy resurface again. He did not want to build the academy immediately, but it was still possible to select a site for the academy.
His eyes wandered behind the map. Not only was he selecting a site for the academy, but he also needed to select a site for the Xiazhou Prefectural Mufu.
At this moment, Yelang is too far north and does not have enough control over the extreme south, even Ailao.
The most important thing is that Ying Gao wants to develop Xiazhou and prepare for the next war. He knows exactly what kind of wealth there is on the other side of the Indochina Peninsula.
If you want to accomplish anything, you need a powerful navy, and Da Qin's naval officers alone are simply not enough at this moment.
"Your Majesty, Meng Yi, pays homage to the Young Master!" Meng Yi arrived first, raised his hand towards Ying Gaoyi, and said.
At the same time, Fan Zeng and others also saluted Ying Gao and said: "My subordinates Fan Zeng, Wang Li, Weichang Temple, Qian Ming and others pay their respects to General Ying!"
"Everyone is here, then take a seat!"
Ying Gao stretched out his hand and signaled: "There is tea on the long table. If you want to drink it, you can pour it yourself. It's all your own. I won't dissuade you."
"promise."
With a nod of agreement, everyone sat down. They knew that Ying Gao had summoned almost all of them because he must have something to tell him, and it was not a small matter.
At this moment, everyone was sitting upright, looking at their noses, mouths, and minds.
Seeing everyone's appearance, Ying Gao couldn't help but smile, and turned to Fan Zeng and others, saying: "You are all the pillars of our Great Qin. Today, I will call you all for two reasons."
Having said this, Ying Gao pointed to the map and said: "This is the map Jingyesi drew in a hurry, including the south of Bashu and the extreme south. This is the map of the entire Xiazhou."
