Chapter 990 Ying Zheng wants to be half the world!
"Of course, over the years, the Jiannan Chamber of Commerce, the Peacock Chamber of Commerce, and the Daqin Ruishi Pension Fund Chamber of Commerce under Wu Anjun have accumulated three major warehouses of food and grass."
Zheng Guo, the historian of grain control, said to Ying Zheng and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty: "In this way, if we count everything together, our Daqin, including this year's harvest, should have fifteen warehouses of grain and grass."
"Except for the grain for next spring's plowing, our Daqin has no less than eleven warehouses of grain that can be used for the war."
"I congratulate your Majesty, and congratulate your Majesty. You have enough food and grass. You will have no worries when you go east this time!" At this moment, all the civil and military officials in the court, except for Li Si and a few others, all turned towards Ying Zheng to congratulate him.
"Zhi Su Neishi, that's not how the number is calculated. You missed a part of the calculation!" Ying Gao frowned. He believed that Li Si and others must have seen it, but he didn't want to say that they would use this offended person to do something.
Lost it to myself.
It's just that this issue must be considered. With this thought, Ying Gao bit the bullet and said: "If this is the calculation, the court will be short of food in the middle of the war."
"After all, once the war starts, it's not just the army that needs food and grass. Once our army takes over Korea, Korea will be our land of Qin, and the Koreans will be our Qin people!"
.........
Hearing this, Zheng Guo frowned secretly. He had a very good relationship with Ying Gao. Logically speaking, Ying Gao could not object at this time, unless he really made a mistake.
After thinking about this, Zheng Guo suppressed the doubts in his heart and quickly raised his hands towards Ying Gaoyi and said: "I wonder where I missed a part, and I would like to ask Mr. Wu An to clarify my doubts?"
Seeing Zheng Guo's humble attitude, Ying Gao smiled bitterly, and then turned to Zheng Guo and said: "In governing the internal history of millet, Da Qin's grain and grass cannot only be counted as grain for war and Guanzhong."
"Once our Great Qin comes out from the east, you all know the huge destructive power of war. Once the people of today's countries are forcibly confiscated by their courts because of the war, they will surely have bones left in the wild, and there will be no roosters crowing for thousands of miles.
Picture."
"At this time, whether it is to win over the people, to demonstrate the orthodoxy of the court, or to preserve the vitality of the Central Plains, saving the people will become the only way."
"Although I, the Qin Dynasty, have always focused on helping the people rather than relieving them, but for the needs of the imperial court, stabilizing the people's hearts and not letting the people starve to death will become the top priority."
"Even if the imperial court lends money to the people with a certain amount of profit, this would require our Great Qin imperial court to advance food and grass in advance. The land of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong is ten times that of Qin, and the number of people is also twice that of Qin."
"This is an extremely terrifying figure. The administrative offices of the local government and the government must take this into account. Even if the victims cannot be fed, they must still be kept alive and not let them die."
...........
Facing Ying Gao's eloquent talk, the faces of the officials changed slightly. They all realized what Ying Gao was worried about. They all knew what a huge number this was.
This gap, even if the cultivation of Champa rice is completed, cannot be made up in a short time. After all, the Qin Dynasty destroyed Han, Zhao and Wei first, not Chu.
The Central Plains areas such as Han, Zhao, and Wei are not suitable for growing Champa rice. What's more, until now, those who went to Xiazhou have not yet cultivated the most optimized rice seeds.
At this moment, the entire Xianyang Palace was quiet, and the faces of the ministers were full of thoughts. Everyone present was not a simple person. They were all people with good vision and vision who could enter the decision-making level of Da Qin.
Naturally, they would not propose to only save the Qin people and ignore the bastard words of the people of Shandong countries, because they all knew that what Qin wanted was not only the land, but also the population.
They may not want to see the Qin people on an equal footing with the people of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, but they know better which method is best for the Qin Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, Lord Wu An's words really require us to think about it. If we ignore these people who appeared because of the war, by then, even if we conquer a world, it will only be a half-broken world."
There was a solemn look in Li Si's eyes. He felt that the point of what Ying Gao said was something that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had never considered, or even ignored.
However, at this moment, Li Si felt a little more worried. He knew that if their previous calculations were followed, Da Qin's preparations would be more than sufficient.
But, not necessarily now.
Once the people are included, the consumption of food and grass will increase sharply. However, as the Prime Minister of Qin, Li Si naturally knows that population is the key.
Once the population is insufficient, even if the entire six kingdoms are annexed, it will not be of much help to the Qin court.
At that time, if Da Qin wants to restore its vitality, the price it has to pay will not be that simple, and it may even require a hundred years of recuperation.
Both Ying Zheng and Ying Gao are iron-blooded overlords, and their desire for war is obviously higher than others. Li Si knows very well that neither of them wants a world that is broken.
Just saying it is one thing, but doing it is another thing. Once refugees are taken into consideration, even if all warehouses in Daqin are opened, it will not be enough.
Unless there is hope above Xiazhou.
After thinking about this, Li Si turned to Ying Zheng and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is actually very difficult to solve. Of course, once the Shennong Mountain above Xiazhou researches the optimal rice seeds and spreads them to Daqin, then there will be no solution.
It's possible to accomplish this."
"However, to this day, the Su Nei History Office still knows nothing about the news about Shennong Mountain."
Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded and looked at Ying Gao. He knew in his heart that the person who had the clearest information about Shennong Mountain was not the Zhisu Nei History Office, but Ying Gao.
It was only because Li Si, as a minister, could not ask questions, so he changed the topic to the Zhisu Nei Historian Office.
At this thought, Ying Zheng chuckled at Ying Gao and said, "Gao, is there any news from Shennong Mountain? Has the optimal rice seed been researched?"
From the moment Li Si opened his mouth until Ying Zheng glanced over, Ying Gao knew that the topic would eventually fall on him. At this moment, Ying Gao quickly bowed to Ying Zheng solemnly and said.
"Father, there is news from Shennong Mountain that they have cultivated several rice species, but they are still continuing to research. I asked them to test the cultivated rice species there."
"I believe there will be news next year!"
At this point, Ying Gao changed the topic and said to Ying Zheng, Li Si and others: "Father, even if the best rice seeds are cultivated in Shennong Mountain, if you want to fill the vacancies in Da Qin, this is not a good idea.
small amount."
"Because we need a lot of rice seeds, and there are not many manpower in Shennong Mountain. Even if we want to cultivate rice seeds, we need to do it step by step, and it will take at least two or three years."
