"Wonderful, this move is too wonderful!"
"Hahaha, Mister is indeed cunning. Oh no, this is called wisdom!”
"I admire you, I really admire you!"
After Ying Zheng and the other two regained their senses, they couldn't help but exchange blows and praise!
This move was indeed wonderful. As the saying goes, people die for wealth and birds die for food. Who could withstand using cattle and sheep to lure the people over?
In this battle, all of the grasslands 'livestock and the Xiongnu people's wealth had been plundered by Great Qin, and the number of horses, livestock, and sheep was simply too great to count.
One had to know that a small Xiongnu tribe with a thousand people had more than a hundred thousand cattle and sheep. Otherwise, it would be difficult to feed them.
With so many cows and sheep, Great Qin did not lack livestock at all!
The hundreds of thousands of surrendered soldiers of the six dynasties had contributed a lot this time, and many of them had made great contributions. Logically speaking, they should be given cattle and sheep!
There were at least 200 to 300 cows and sheep, and even warhorses!
Even the smallest could get 40 to 50 cows and sheep, enough to feed themselves.
With so many cows and sheep in their hands, many people could not manage them at all. Moreover, many of the surrendered soldiers had been chosen to join Great Qin's army and were about to report to the army.
Then wouldn't their cattle and sheep be left alone?
At this time, if Old Zhao issued an imperial edict to allow their families to move over and settle down, and gave them various preferential policies, would they be able to watch helplessly as they abandoned so many cattle and sheep?
One had to know that most of the survivors of the Six Nations had a very difficult life!
The value of a cow in the eyes of a farmer was simply immeasurable!
There were dozens or hundreds of cattle and sheep waiting for them to feed. In addition, the north was vast and sparsely populated, and the land was easily reclaimed. Could they resist this temptation? They would definitely move their entire family over!
"This plan is wonderful!" " With a million people in the north," Ying Zheng said excitedly," I will be able to firmly control these territories, and I will be able to bring in a steady stream of tax revenue. I don't even need to build the Great Wall anymore!”
"The Great Wall doesn't need to be repaired in the first place!" Ji Han couldn't help but laugh." This thing was originally used to defend against the Xiongnu people. Now that the Xiongnu people have been destroyed, Great Qin's future goal is the sea of stars. Why is it so limited to a Great Wall?"”
"Well said. What a great sea of stars, hahaha!”
Ying Zheng could not contain his joy. Ji Han had hit the nail on the head.
Great Qin's expansion would never stop.
"However, you don't need to build the Great Wall, you can build the Dao!”Ji Han suggested," The desert is still too far from Xianyang. If we want to strengthen our control, we need a smooth road. We might even need to build a railway in the future."”
"Sir, I understand this road, but what is a railway?”Ying Zheng was dumbfounded.
"The railway and the road are the transportation systems developed in the future!”Ji Han explained," In the future, these roads are called freeways. They extend in all directions and connect all parts of the Nine Regions. From the south to the north, it can be easily reached. Carriages can easily travel thousands of miles a day and transport large amounts of resources!”
" As for the railway, it is to open up fixed roads and rails, and use steam engines to drive carriages. It can transport tens of thousands of passengers at a time, and it can also pull ten thousand tons of goods!”
Ji Han seriously explained the two transportation methods in the future!
Hearing that, Ying Zheng and Chong Zhen's eyes immediately lit up.
Both of them were smart people, so they naturally saw the benefits of this thing.
If Great Qin and Great Ming Dynasty had these two transportation methods, how awesome would that be? They could easily transport thousands of tons of goods and send thousands of soldiers at any time!
" If only we had this railway and highway," Ying Zheng sighed," No matter how vast the territory of the Great Qin Empire is, we would be able to control it easily. We wouldn't have to worry about not being able to control it!”
"Yes, sir, how should we build these two roads? Can my Great Ming Dynasty make it? If it works, I will make it even if I have to sell everything!”Chong Zhen asked anxiously.
Ji Han laughed involuntarily and shook his head!
"Old Zhu, don't think so much!”Ji Han smiled and said," Even though the Ming Dynasty's industrial system is much more advanced than Great Qin's, and they have the opportunity to manufacture steam engines, your country is in a mess right now. It's not easy to build such a large project.”
"Mister is right!" " Brother Chongzhen, what you should be thinking about now is how to develop your armaments and accumulate your strength," Ying Zheng said proudly." Such a huge project that involves the development of the entire country is not suitable for you for the time being!”
"Alright then!"
Chong Zhen nodded with a bitter smile!
Although he was unwilling, he had no choice but to admit that Ji Han and the other man were right!
How could he be qualified to carry out such a big project now?
Although he had some money, his subordinates were all corrupt officials. The Ming Dynasty was still rotten. If he forcefully carried out such a big project, something would happen.
However, Old Zhao was different-his control over Great Qin was incredibly powerful!
He even dared to do big projects like the Great Wall and the Imperial Mausoleum of Mount Li. What was there to be afraid of?
"Sir, I want to build this highway and railway. Please ask me!”Ying Zheng pleaded sincerely.
"There's no need to hurry with the railway. With Great Qin's current level of industrialisation, it's not suitable for them to build steam engines yet.”
"This thing is similar to a galloping path. It opens up mountains when it meets mountains, bridges when it meets water, and builds a wide straight path!”
"If you encounter a mountain during the road construction process, you can even use grenades to blow up the mountain to save time!”
"However, the way to build the road is too backward and slow. You can use cement to pave the road. This way, the road will be fast and hard!”
"Once they build a highway that connects the north, south, east, and west, Great Qin will be able to open up the Conception Vessel and Governor Vessel, and its development will be incredibly rapid!”
Ji Han's words directly set the direction for Great Qin's future development!
While developing the desert, they also had to build roads. This cement was something that could not be obtained.
"Oh right, you guys still don't know what cement is!”
"cement is something that makes sand and soil harder than stone. The floor you're stepping on is made of cement!”
Ji Han's reminder made everyone's eyes light up again. They could not help but look at their feet.
