On the little farm
Ji Han did not know that Xu Chuyun, a woman with a strong sixth sense, had already vaguely guessed something, nor did he know that she had been wandering outside the fog array for a long time.
He was busy preparing tonight's delicacies!
According to the time, Old Zhao and Old Zhu should be here by now.
Sure enough, when he placed a table full of delicacies on the table, Old Zhu, Old Zhao, and Old Wang seemed to have made an appointment and walked over together!
Moreover, these three people seemed to be in a good mood!
Old Zhao looked travel-worn.
"What's wrong? Is the Battle of Xiongnu over?" Ji Han asked with a smile.
"Immortal Master, divine divination!" Old Zhao laughed out loud and said," The expedition this time can be said to be quite successful. Our Great Qin army split into three groups and easily swept through the Xiongnu people. We directly made our way to the Tuman Royal City and completely wiped out these damned Outsiders. This is a display of the might of Great Qin.”
"Immortal Master, you don't know that this battle is really enjoyable!”" The world was shocked when the news got out," Wang Ben said excitedly." The survivors of the Six Nations were so scared that they were trembling in fear. This is truly an unprecedented war!"”
"Impressive!"
Ji Han and Chongzhen praised him.
However, the glorious results of this battle were also within everyone's expectations.
Therefore, no one was too surprised.
Chongzhen could not help but say proudly," I have not been idle during this period of time. The eight Jin merchants manipulated the grain prices and colluded with the enemy to betray the country. I also used thunderous methods and easily raided their homes. I killed many corrupt officials. It was awesome!”
"This time, our Great Ming Dynasty's national treasury has increased by hundreds of millions of taels of silver, which is equivalent to the taxes of the past five years. With this silver, I no longer have to worry about money!”
"Amazing, amazing!"
"Congratulations, Brother Chongzhen!"
Ying Zheng and Wang Ben congratulated them, and everyone was in a good mood.
After a round of business bragging, everyone sat down and began to eat and drink.
As they ate and drank, everyone talked about their situation and what had happened in the court, occasionally bragging.
Especially Ying Zheng and Chong Zhen, they were even more complacent and boastful. The two of them had gradually grasped the essence of Ji Han's boasting, and were exaggerating all kinds of things without feeling embarrassed at all.
"Alright, alright!" "You two are really good at bragging. Didn't you just destroy the Xiongnu and the eight great Jin merchants?" Ji Han said angrily. He was just bullying a child. Was this worth bragging about?”
"Of course it's worth it!" Ying Zheng chuckled and said," Immortal Master, don't you know that after we exterminate these Xiongnu people, the Great Qin Empire will gain thousands of miles of grassland? This is a huge piece of fertile land!”
"From now on, Great Qin will have an endless supply of warhorses, cattle, sheep, and farmlands. This is a joyous occasion for Great Qin!”
The more Ying Zheng spoke, the happier he became. Obviously, this achievement of expanding the territory made him feel very good.
"Do you think this grassland is yours?" Ji Han retorted. Do you know that there are still many other races on the grassland? To the west were the Qiang and Da Yue tribes, and further west were the Central Asian countries. Would they not cross the line?”
"Humph!" Ying Zheng snorted coldly with a murderous aura." If they dare to cross the border, I will send millions of troops to wipe them out. In fact, the Great Yue Clan and the other clans in the Western Regions have all sent tributes to express their goodwill. Obviously, the war against the Xiongnu has frightened them. These foreign tribes are really nothing to worry about!”
"You were too careless!" "Do you really think that these foreign tribes of the Western Regions are that simple?" Ji Han asked seriously. Countless heroes of the past dynasties had chased them out time and time again, but in the end, because they could not control the grasslands, they took the opportunity to benefit!”
"If you kill a Xiongnu, another race that is good at riding and archery will soon appear. The foreign races on this grassland are endless!”
"Great Qin is too far away from the Central Plains, and its control over it is very weak. If anything happens in this vast Central Plains, it will take a few months before it reaches Xianyang.”
"On the surface, the tribes of the Western Regions are showing weakness, but in fact, they will definitely continue to devour the grasslands of the Xiongnu people and secretly accumulate strength.”
"Once the Central Plains is in turmoil, then they can send their troops south and bring endless harm to the descendants of the Nine Provinces!”
Ji Han's reminder instantly shocked Ying Zheng!
He nodded and said," Sir, you're right. We must guard against this. I want to set up Jiuyuan Prefecture in the Hetao area, with 34 counties!”
"Then, we'll set the desert as Zhenbei Prefecture and set up twenty-eight counties. Then, we'll move the people over to build and reclaim the land. What do you think, sir?”
This method was the crystallization of the wisdom of the Great Qin officials!
These civil and military officials were all shrewd people. They could naturally think of what Ji Han wanted.
This method would greatly increase Great Qin's control over the northern side!
"Not bad!" Ji Han nodded in satisfaction and said,"How many families are you planning to move over?”
"Most of the surrendered soldiers of the six dynasties who participated in this war have already surrendered. I will let people choose a portion to join the Qin army. The rest will be left in the desert to settle down and work happily.”" As for the common people," Ying Zheng replied," We can just move another eighty thousand households!”
"Too little, too little!" "We need at least 300,000 households to completely control the north, and we need 100,000 cavalry to stay there." Ji Han shook his head.”
"300,000?"
Ying Zheng and Wang Ben gasped!
Great Qin did not have a large population, and at most, it only had 20 million people!
300,000 households had at least a million people. Where could they find so many people?
The ancients had a very strong concept of local life, and they paid attention to the idea of returning to their roots.
Who would be willing to go all the way to the desert to settle down?
Even if Ying Zheng wanted to move 300,000 households, it would be very difficult for him to do so.
"What's so difficult about that?" Ji Han couldn't help but laugh and pointed out,""The six dynasties have surrendered hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The casualties in this battle are extremely low. Everyone has more or less obtained a lot of military merits, which can be exchanged for a large number of cattle and sheep!”
"These cows and sheep can't be taken away. After you distribute them, they won't be able to take care of them themselves, or they won't be able to take care of their own cows and sheep if they have to serve in the army!”
"Old Zhao, if you kindly send their family to the desert, would they be unhappy? Could they bear to lose so many cows and sheep?”
"Hmm?"
"This is okay?"
Ying Zheng and the other two were dumbfounded.
Looking at the cunning Ji Han, everyone could not help but sweat.
