"Good!"
After Zhao Chen had finished his words, Ying Zheng began to imagine what kind of situation would be formed by doing so.
Even though Ying Zheng had a tenacious character that was cultivated from his childhood experiences, he could not help but clap his hands on the table in wonder!
Seeing that Zhao Chen had brought him another surprise, Ying Zheng took a closer look at Zhao Chen, who looked very similar to him when he was young.
Although it was still a little immature, the confidence that ordinary people could not have made Ying Zheng feel a little dazed for a moment.
Was this really his ninth son, who was no different from a commoner, whom he did not even think of when guarding Yong City?
Based on today's comments, even Li Si would probably admit defeat.
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 was at least a talent for governing the country!
At the thought of this, Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Chen with an unconcealable look of satisfaction, which made Zhao Gao's heart sink even more.
Zhao Chen was actually quite calm, although he knew that Ying Zheng was very satisfied with him.
After which, he muttered to himself and said.
"Your son still has some strategies on how to govern the grassland tribes…"
Oh?
There was more?
Ying Zheng was no longer as casual as before. Instead, he waited for Zhao Chen to speak with a solemn expression.
He had a feeling that Zhao Chen's next words would completely change his or Great Qin's military plans!
Nodding slightly, Ying Zheng held his breath and signaled Zhao Chen to speak quickly!
Zhao Chen smiled faintly and organized his words.
"Since ancient times, all the nobles in the current dynasty have felt that other than the nine provinces in the world, the outside world is a barren land, and they feel that it is useless.”
Ying Zheng nodded. This was a normal phenomenon. After all, those places were either uncultivable, or filled with poisonous miasma, which could not produce any value.
If they did, they would only become a burden to the empire. Naturally, no one wanted to include them in their 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.
Therefore, from the Warring States Period to the present, the Great Wall of the North had been built to prevent the invasion of the nomadic tribes, until now, Ying Zheng had connected the Great Wall of the North into a whole.
"However, your son has a spinning technique that can spin wool into thread and weave it into woolen cloth. Great Qin will use money and food to buy wool, and the wool will be sold to Great Qin's people at a low price. This way, not only will Great Qin's people bid farewell to the bitter winter, but the grasslands will also give up on herding horses and grasslands cows and instead graze sheep…"
"When that time comes, the life and death of the Central Plains will be in the hands of Great Qin!”
"Really?"
Ying Zheng suddenly stood up from behind the table, his eyes filled with disbelief as he looked at Zhao Chen!
He had never heard that wool could be woven into cloth!
If it was true, then according to Zhao Chen, the harm caused by the nomads of the grasslands would be completely swept away into the dust of history…
"Absolutely!"
Zhao Chen's face was serious. No one would suspect him! However, this was something that had never happened before, and Ying Zheng could not just listen to Zhao Chen's words alone. After calming himself down, Ying Zheng decided that he had to think about it carefully!
Glancing at Ying Zheng, Zhao Chen continued.
"It's not that the Nine Provinces are inferior to Great Qin!”
" What we are showing now is that the land has not been carefully developed. Besides, even if the resources in other places are poor and the environment is harsh on the surface, as the leadership of the Imperium, we cannot just look at the surface!”
"Take the northern plains for example. It is said that the plains contain all kinds of mineral resources, and they are even richer than Great Qin!”
"It's not just the northern grasslands. There's also the Western Regions, the Bai Yue, and Lingnan!”
"The various resources contained in it are not something we can tolerate if it is not part of the Empire's territory!”
Silence…
It seemed that Zhao Chen's words were a little ahead of his time. Although it made people reminisce at first, they were not in the same position and could not understand the concept that Zhao Chen wanted to express!
However, Ying Zheng, as an emperor from ancient times to the present, understood!
After listening to Zhao Chen's explanation, Ying Zheng seemed to have understood a lot of things. Without asking Zhao Chen any more questions, Ying Zheng rubbed his forehead tiredly and waved his hand, a hint of emotion and excitement in his eyes.
He said to Zhao Chen and Huhai, who were sitting down.
"You may leave…"
Hu Hai felt as if he had been pardoned!
Looking at the two brothers 'departing figures, Ying Zheng's mind went blank.
Zhao Chen's philosophy and the result he wanted were somewhat different from his own.
Moreover, there were many things that could not be understood by others. It was just like how many things he had done were incomprehensible to the world.
Although their ideals were different, their goals and aspirations faintly corresponded to his own. In fact, they were even more far-reaching than he had imagined!
Thinking about it carefully, Ying Zheng felt a little complicated about Zhao Chen.
He didn't know whether he should feel guilty, hopeful, or impulsive.
Maybe there were both?
Compared to his other children, including Fu Su!
Based on Zhao Chen's current performance, Fu Su and the others could not compare to him at all. Apart from the fact that Zhao Chen did not have any background in Great Qin's aristocratic class…
Ying Zheng's eyes flickered for a moment, as he had fantasized a lot about Zhao Chen. "After the eastern tour ends, send him to Meng Tian for training…"
So, he unfolded the urgent military report that Meng Tian had sent to him, which had lured Zhao Chen to say so much.
He raised his pen and replied.
"Temporarily tighten our forces. Do not take the initiative to attack the various passes. The rest of the arrangements will be made after I return to Xianyang and discuss with you!”
Zhao Gaojing stood at the side like a shadow, but every word and action of Ying Zheng was deeply engraved in his heart!
Including the words that Ying Zheng had involuntarily said earlier!
Although Ying Zheng had already shown that his intention to make Li Fusu the Crown Prince was no longer as strong, and it was not just once or twice!
However, he didn't have any hiccups!
Now, Zhao Chen had popped out of nowhere!
Beneath Zhao Gao's calm surface, there was a gloomy look!
But it was still alright!
Fortunately, Ying Zheng wanted to wait until the end of the eastern tour to test Zhao Chen, but…
Zhao Gao looked at Ying Zheng, whose face was getting worse and worse, and even now, he had not stopped taking medicine every day!
For the sake of his own life, the idea of not letting Ying Zheng return to Xianyang was gradually becoming more and more firm in Zhao Gao's heart!
After Ying Zheng had rested, Zhao Gao found Huhai, who had a depressed look on his face when he was on the eastern tour. He then described Zhao Chen in an exaggerated manner, as if Zhao Chen had become their mortal enemy!
In addition, before the eastern tour, the two of them had already had a conflict in Xianyang. Then, he thought about the reason why he was also on the eastern tour because of Zhao Chen!
After that, there was no need for Zhao Gao to fan the flames. Huhai was there alone, thinking about Zhao Chen with a face full of hatred and gnashing teeth!
