That was, he had to prove that the first two strategies were feasible and that Great Qin would have such a guarantee in the coming year. Only then would he dare to implement the third strategy, which was a win-win situation between the Imperial Court and the nobles!
Otherwise, the third plan would only be harmful to the court and beneficial to the nobles!
"En, that's true…"
Ying Zheng smiled, nodded, and said," If we can't guarantee an increase in grain and fodder in the coming year, then the third plan is indeed a good one, but I'm afraid that the pressure on the Imperial Court will be even greater in the future. If that happens, I'm afraid that your rice bowls will be unstable if the Imperial Court is unable to make ends meet one day..."
“……”
When the ministers heard this, they fell silent.
That was true…
Moreover, they really did have the desire to make the imperial court's grain and fodder not be good next year, and even not pay up.
That was because, in this way, wouldn't the imperial court be able to give some lords to the newcomers of their families?
Then, after a moment of silence and complicated feelings, everyone looked at the person who made them feel complicated.
Zhao Long!
That's right, Zhao Long!
Since you came up with this idea, can you prove that you have the ability to turn this strategy from theory into practical results?
"My son."
"Father, your son is here."
"What are the first two plans you mentioned just now? Say it again and let the officials discuss whether it is feasible.”
"Yes."
Zhao Long smiled." The first plan is to let our hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Nanhai County cultivate rice and go north to support Guanzhong. The second plan was to turn the thousands of miles of salt and earth around Xianyang into fertile land.”
Haha…
Li Si shook his head." Young Master, may I ask?”
"Minister Li, please speak."
"No one has ever heard of these two plans, so no one can prove that they are feasible.”
Li Si said," I don't have any other intentions. I only hope that Young Master will prioritize safety and not let Great Qin put itself in danger!”
"Zhao Long naturally understands Minister Li's words.”
Zhao Long said calmly," So, in my opinion, if I succeed in the experiment first, then I will vigorously promote the third plan. In this way, won't it be safer for the imperial court and the officials and nobles?”
Hiss?
Trial?
This was a good idea!
Hearing Zhao Long's words, the eyes of Ying Zheng and the others lit up.
That's right, try it out first!
If it didn't work, then, then there was no other way…
If it could be tested, at least the officials would be able to get a lot of benefits!
For example, renting fertile land at a low price.
For example, the grain that was lent out would be doubled in the coming year.
Of course, they also wanted to obtain some sort of Lord.
However, he couldn't treat Qin Shihuang like a fool, right?
Besides, who would dare?
"En, my son's method is exactly what I want.”
Ying Zheng smiled and asked," How do you want to try?”
"Reporting to Imperial Father, your son believes that we should do both!”
Zhao Long said," Immediately order the imperial envoy to head south and lead the hundreds of thousands of troops. Close to the edge of the South China Sea and open up wasteland to cultivate more rice.
Second, your son will personally be in charge of reducing the salt in the northwest! He wanted to turn all the salt and land within a thousand miles into fertile land within three months.”
En…En?
What was that?
Three…
Within three months?
Hiss?
After hearing the deadline that Zhao Long mentioned, Ying Zheng and his subjects were shocked again.
What did you say?
Three months…
In three months, he could turn a thousand miles of salt and land into fertile land?
This, this target was too rough and exaggerated, right?
"My son, isn't three months too tight?”
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and said worriedly in his heart,'Don't force yourself…How much manpower and material resources will it take to build a thousand miles of saline-like land?”
That's right, wasn't this another huge project?
"Father is right…"
Zhao Long smiled." However, I'm not going to turn all the saline-alkalized land into fertile land. Instead, I'll make it easy to convert it near the river. Therefore, I want as much manpower and resources as I can…"
En…En?
What?
Hearing this, Ying Zheng was stunned, and all the officials looked suspicious.
This, I want as much as I can. What does that mean?
Do you want more or less?
Your words are very ambiguous!
"My son, how much do you want?”
Ying Zheng couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"Reporting to Imperial Father, your son is thinking of asking Prime Minister Feng and Prime Minister Li to calculate the terrain and data and come up with a plan to see how much manpower and resources they estimate. After that, your son will make some changes and try his best not to drag down the Imperial Court too much.”
"Yes…"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded and said," That's right. Where are the Left and Right Prime Ministers?!”
