Hearing this, Ying Zheng's interest was immediately piqued, and he nodded, signaling Ying Yu to continue.
"Every year, when winter approaches, the nomads of the grasslands will think of ways to pillage the south. This is simply too harmful to the people at the borders of Great Qin.
In the past hundred years, countless border people have died under the hooves of the Xiongnu. Every time I think of this, I wish I could lead the army north and kill all these Xiongnu people!”
Ying Zheng shook his head slowly upon hearing this, revealing a disappointed look.
How could he not want to take the initiative to attack and completely destroy the Xiongnu?
However, Ying Yu had also said that the Xiongnu were a nomadic race, and everyone could become soldiers. How could they be destroyed so easily?
"Destroying the Xiongnu is easier said than done." Ying Zheng sighed with emotion.
With Great Qin's current military strength, it would be easy for them to deal with the Xiongnu, but it would be impossible for them to completely destroy them.
What Ying Zheng was struggling with was not how to defeat the Xiongnu, but how to bring the vast grassland in the north into the Great Qin Empire's territory.
The northern plains were not suitable for farming, so they could not let Great Qin's people roam the plains.
Perhaps he didn't want to hurt Ying Yu, so Ying Zheng asked casually.
"So what if we take the initiative to attack and defeat the Xiongnu? After all, as long as the Xiongnu leave, Great Qin will be helpless against them!”
Ying Yu already had a plan in his mind, so he replied without thinking.
"We can slowly advance…"
" For some grassland tribes, we can implement a division strategy, take in their soldiers, and give them trade…"
"Every tribe has strict rules on the size of their pastures, and they can only graze in their own pastures. Other tribes are not allowed to cross the border, and the tribe leaders have to be appointed by Great Qin. After a few years, Great Qin will no longer be threatened by the north!”
In fact, according to Ying Yu's wishes, he would definitely kill them all. However, without the Xiongnu, there would be other nomadic tribes occupying the northern grasslands.
As such, the root of this was not in the people, but in Great Qin's policy towards the northern side, which was to make the northern side part of the Great Qin Empire's territory so that the people of the northern side would not invade the southern side because they could not survive.
Ying Zheng's eyes did not show any emotion. Although he felt that what Ying Yu said was somewhat useful, he still could not figure out the key point.
Although Ying Yu said it easily, if he really did it, no one knew what the result would be.
This was a national policy that concerned the fate of Great Qin, so Ying Zheng had to consider it carefully.
Thinking for a moment, Ying Zheng began to ask,"
"Why do you have to set the size of the ranch? Wasn't it a little too much for a Tribe Leader to be appointed by Great Qin?”
In fact, modern people were not necessarily smarter than the ancients. The ancients were only limited by their thinking.
Ying Yu sighed to himself and explained in detail,
" The reason why we have to strictly set the size of the pastures is because only then can the people of the Grasslands stop moving around. This will make it easier for Great Qin to control the Grasslands. As for the Tribe Leaders…
We can appoint some leaders, and the leaders will be in charge of the tribes under them. They will be given the right to set up pastures, settle disputes, and so on…"
Although Ying Yu did not continue, Ying Zheng's eyes began to shine!
Dividing the grassland into dozens of nearly a hundred leagues, with each league having about ten thousand people, after fixing the grazing area, it would definitely intensify the conflict between the tribes!
If the Alliance Leader didn't handle things well, Great Qin would be needed to resolve the conflict!
This naturally increased Great Qin's status in the hearts of the Grassland people!
At the thought of this, Ying Zheng's heart throbbed slightly. This method might really be able to completely solve the hidden danger in the north…
"Good!"
After Ying Yu finished his words, Ying Zheng started to imagine for a moment, and instantly felt that what Ying Yu had just said was feasible.
Ying Zheng did not expect that his son, who had always been mischievous since young, would give him another surprise.
Based on Ying Yu's words just now, even Li Si would admit defeat, right?
No!
It should be the entire world!
Ying Zheng also felt that no one would be able to think of this!
What did this mean?
It meant that his son had the talent to govern the country!
At the thought of this, Ying Zheng looked at Ying Yu with satisfaction.
This scene made Zhao Gao's heart sink.
Seeing that Ying Zheng was in a good mood, Ying Yu struck while the iron was hot and continued,"
"Father, your son has some strategies for governing the grassland tribes…"
Oh?
There was more?
"Tell me!"
At this moment, Ying Zheng had a premonition that what Ying Yu was going to say next would surely bring him another unexpected surprise.
Nodding slightly, Ying Zheng calmed himself down and signaled Ying Yu to stop wasting time and speak quickly!
Ying Yu smiled faintly, organized his words and said,"
"Since ancient times, all the nobles in the current dynasty have felt that other than the Nine Provinces, the outside world is a barren land, and it is useless to take it.”
Ying Zheng nodded. This was a normal phenomenon. After all, those places were either uncultivable or filled with poisonous miasma. They were really worthless.
Taking it would only be a burden, so no one wanted to take it into Great Qin's territory.
However, he was still doing quite well, and he was already planning to bring the Hundred Yue Lands into Great Qin.
But in the northern grasslands, with Ying Zheng's knowledge, he could only see that the grasslands produced warhorses, and nothing else.
Take the northern grasslands for example. From the Warring States Period until now, no ruler had ever thought of occupying it.
As for the invasion of the nomadic tribes, they only took precautionary measures.
This was why there was the Great Wall.
