Seeing Ying Zheng nod, Ying Yu continued,"
"Imperial Father, the Great Qin Empire can set up a merchant caravan and purchase large amounts of sheepskin from the grasslands.”
Set up a caravan to buy sheepskin?
Ying Zheng looked puzzled." Why?”
Although he did not understand Ying Yu's intention of purchasing a large number of sheepskin, Ying Zheng felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
Ying Yu explained,
"The vast northern plains are the best market. What we need to do is to build a large caravan.
To the Hu of the grasslands, the ordinary things of our Qin country are rare treasures in their eyes.
"Once Great Qin's merchant caravan reaches the grasslands, the Hu will definitely come to buy.
"Moreover, Great Qin's Caravans don't need money to do business. They only use sheepskin!
In other words, if the Hu of the grasslands want to trade with us, they can only use sheepskin, and sheepskin is the currency!”
Goatskin is currency? Build a huge caravan?
Ying Zheng murmured, his face gradually turning grave. Although he was puzzled, he knew that this matter was not simple...
Ying Yu continued,
"And our goal is to turn the sheepskin into the currency that the Hu of the grasslands use to trade with the outside world!
In this way, the importance of the sheepskin would be highlighted.
In this way, in order to obtain more sheepskin, the number of people raising sheep in the grasslands will increase, and the number of sheep will increase.
Of course, this was a long-term process, and it might not be effective in the short term.”
Building a caravan and turning the sheepskin into the currency of the prairie people, Ying Zheng fell into deep thought.
And Ying Yu did not just do this for this purpose. What he wanted was the huge market in the northern grasslands.
"Father, now that the Xiongnu are in civil strife, we can use this opportunity to develop caravans and trade on the grasslands.
When the caravan formed a large enough scale, it could affect the entire grassland.”
Ying Yu's idea could be considered as a disguised infiltration.
The economic foundation determined the superstructures. As someone who had transmigrated, he understood the power of capital.
It could silently destroy a region or a country.
After pondering for a long time, Ying Zheng said,"
"Creating a merchant group is quite simple. With Great Qin's strength, we can easily create a large merchant group in a short period of time. However, why is it sheepskin and not something else?”
Ying Zheng asked the question in his heart. He could understand a thing or two about controlling the economy of the grassland, but he really did not understand why it was sheepskin.
Ying Zheng didn't think that Ying Yu was just making a casual remark. There must be a reason for him to purchase the sheepskin.
Hearing this, Ying Yu said with a faint smile,
"Because sheep eat grass, and most importantly, sheep eat grass roots. Without grass, the Hu of the north would lose their living environment.
Of course, there was a prerequisite for this plan to work, and that was to beat these grassland Hu into submission.
Only by doing so can Great Qin's merchant caravan be safe on the plains.”
At this moment, not to mention Ying Zheng, even Zhao Gao, who was standing at the side, understood.
At this moment, the way Zhao Gao looked at Ying Yu changed slightly.
This was simply a scheme to eliminate the Hu from the north.
Although this plan was not effective now, what about ten years later?
Twenty years…Fifty years…What about after 100?
A hundred years later, the northern grasslands might have already turned into a vast expanse of yellow sand.
Silence…
"Good! Very good!"
Ying Zheng suddenly slapped the table and stood up, cheering loudly.
It seemed that Ying Yu had said something that was a little ahead of his time. Although it was a memorable thing to hear at first, it was impossible to understand what he was trying to express because he was not in the position to do so!
However, Ying Zheng, as an emperor from ancient times to the present, understood!
After listening to Ying Yu's words, Ying Zheng seemed to have understood something. It turned out that conquering a country did not necessarily require martial strength.
Today, his horizons had been broadened. Everything Ying Yu said just now had completely overturned his understanding.
Ying Zheng waved his hand and did not ask any more questions. He rubbed his forehead tiredly, and there seemed to be a hint of emotion and excitement in his eyes.
"The two of you can leave…"
Huhai, who was confused by what he heard, felt as if he had been pardoned and escaped out of Qilin Hall.
Looking at the two brothers 'departing figures, Ying Zheng's mind went blank.
He had never thought that his six sons would be so extraordinary.
Recalling what Ying Yu had said just now, Ying Zheng picked up his pen and wrote on the urgent military report sent by Meng Tian.
"Temporarily tighten our forces, do not take the initiative to attack the various passes. The rest of the arrangements will be discussed after the Great Wall is repaired.”
Zhao Gaojing stood at the side like a shadow, but every word and action of Ying Zheng was deeply engraved in his heart!
Although Ying Zheng had never mentioned the matter of establishing a king, Zhao Gao knew that Ying Zheng actually valued Fu Su.
However, after some planning, Ying Zheng now had a very strong opinion of Fu Su, and his determination to establish himself had also been shaken.
However, who would have thought that the Sixth Prince, Ying Yu, would suddenly appear out of nowhere?
Beneath Zhao Gao's calm surface, there was a gloomy look!
He knew better than anyone else what Huhai was capable of. Although Ying Zheng treated him very well, he was not foolish enough to pass the position of the Crown Prince to him.
Now that Ying Yu had appeared out of nowhere, all of his previous plans were useless.
One Fu Su was already enough to give him a headache, and now, Ying Yu had appeared.
