"Immortal Master, is the Western Regions…far from Great Qin?”
Emperor Qin Ying Zheng asked directly. Wang Ben and his son, who knew him well, could tell that His Majesty was interested in that.
After all, Su Tian had just said that his descendants had been there before.
Then the Qin Dynasty army would definitely be able to arrive.
"Not too far."
When Su Tian heard his question, he took out a globe.
"This is…"
The three of them were very puzzled. What was this ball for?
" This is the planet we live on. It's not as round as you think…"
Su Tian began to explain. Fortunately, he was speaking to everyone as an immortal master.
If it were anyone else, Qin Shihuang would have already thought that he was crazy.
It was also because they were in high positions that they had far more knowledge than ordinary ancient people.
Although he was still shocked for a long time before he spoke, he slowly accepted Su Tian's meaning.
However, their previous worldview had already collapsed.
It turned out that humans were actually so small…
"May I ask, Immortal Master, where is Great Qin in this sphere?”Qin Shihuang was the first to ask.
"Probably, in this area." Su Tian gestured to them.
Qin Shihuang was stunned.
Wang Li and his son also looked at each other in surprise.
Our Great Qin unified the six countries, conquered the Yue in the south, and attacked the Xiongnu in the north, but it only occupied such a small part of this globe?
This…
Qin Shihuang felt very uncomfortable.
Even!
There was a hint of frustration…
He once thought that his achievements surpassed the Three Emperors and his name surpassed the Five Emperors.
Now, it seemed that it was just so-so…
The land that he had conquered was still far from the other places on this globe.
However, Qin Shi Huang was not ordinary. He immediately adjusted his mentality and asked Su Tian for advice.
"Immortal Master, where is the Western Regions? How big was it?
Other than the Western Regions, are there any other regions on this planet that we live in?”
Who knew that Su Tian would point at them and say,"
"Compared to the other regions, it's not far at all.
This was the location. It would be closer through the Hexi Corridor.
There were also many countries over there that were quite weak and were also deeply oppressed by the Xiongnu.”
F * ck.
Wang Ben and Qin Shihuang looked at each other, they thought it was a long distance away, but it was really close!
The distance from Xianyang City to that place was almost the same as the distance to the south of the Yue Country.
Wang Ben nodded at Qin Shihuang and said,
He seemed to be saying,
Your Majesty!
He could fight!
"The Western Regions is quite large. I wonder how much food we can produce.”
Qin Shi Huang was already very moved and asked Su Tian for advice.
After all, the most important thing to take down a piece of land was to consider whether it could be used to grow food.
Only with food production could people move in, and only then could there be development and defense.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to hold on to the land that they had spent a lot of effort to conquer if there was no production.
"Hehe, most of the land here is fertile, and the temperature difference between day and night is large.
However, it was not a good idea to take over the Western Regions and grow food.”
Su Tian chuckled. He didn't plan to let Qin Shihuang just grow food after taking down the Western Regions.
"Oh? Immortal Master, do you have any other brilliant ideas?"
When the three of them heard Su Tian's words, they immediately perked up. They knew that Su Tian would not speak without reason.
"Of course, this place is most suitable for planting cotton!”
It was another term that he had never heard before. Qin Shihuang simply did not look at the Wang father and son.
She had never heard of the new term that came out of Su Tian's mouth, and the two of them definitely had not heard of it before.
Therefore, he directly asked Su Tian,"
"May I ask Immortal Master what cotton is? Is it a new type of food? Or is it…an immortal item?"
Su Tian did not have the habit of keeping him in suspense. He explained to him directly,
"You can't eat cotton, but it's a cash crop. It would be very valuable! It's much more profitable than growing food."
"A cash crop? Could it be similar to hemp?"
Qin Shi Huang was the ruler of a country after all, and he knew this.
"Yes, cotton. This kind of thing can be spun into cotton cloth, cotton thread, and quilts. It's very good in terms of warmth and beauty.”
"It can quickly replace the clothes of Great Qin's citizens. In three to five years, the country's economy will more than double.”
Su Tian didn't finish his sentence. Once Great Qin's textile industry improved, they could spin cotton and wool, which would be an incredible income.
Qin Shihuang was shocked.
Double?
For the first time, he felt that his mathematics was not very good.
However, if the country had such income, wouldn't it be able to quickly make up for the deficit from the war with the Xiongnu over the years?
In recent years, the domestic economy of the Qin Dynasty was not very good, mainly because the cost of attacking the Hetao before the fourth year was not small.
There was also the money and food used to migrate the people over there after the two years of fighting.
This was a huge burden.
However, after the battle, it was impossible for them not to defend themselves. Therefore, Ying Zheng had been troubled by this matter for quite a while.
Wang Ben, who hadn't spoken much because of the pain, finally asked,
"Immortal Master, may I ask if the road to the Western Regions is blocked by the Xiongnu?
Is there any other way to reduce our casualties? There are also the expenses of horses and money."
"Father, are you feeling better?" Wang Li couldn't care less about the Western Regions and immediately looked at his father in surprise.
"Yes, after taking the immortal medicine, it doesn't seem to hurt as much.”Wang Ben said with a smile.
Of course, one of the medicines that Su Tian gave was the well-known Yu Jin.
It had been a while since the painkiller and anti-inflammatory effects took effect.
Qin Shihuang frowned at Su Tian when he heard Wang Ben's question.
At the same time, he thought to himself, That's right, it cost hundreds of millions of dollars to build Hetao, let alone the Hexi Corridor, which is slightly further away.'
'Why didn't I think of that? I'll ask Su Tian if he has any way to reduce the losses. I didn't bring Wang Ben along this time!
Under the expectant gazes of the three of them, Su Tian smiled faintly and said,"Of course there is!"
