"I'll say it again. I can give you ideas, but if you really want to do something, you have to do it!”
"In the words of the future generations, I am at most an advisor. You are the commanders and generals!”
"But I still have some ideas on how to use the grain!" Su Han hurriedly shook his head and said.”
"Sir, please speak!"
The First Emperor humbly asked for advice.
Great Qin's recent changes had proven Su Han's usefulness.
Before this, no one would have thought that such a small trick would be able to turn waste salt into refined salt, and it would be able to easily make the hearts of the people of several counties submit to Great Qin.
It was easy to imagine that with the continuous promotion of cheap Celestial Salt, the commoners would feel the kindness of the Imperial Court when they ate salt, and their loyalty to Great Qin would increase by the day.
Even immortals and gods might not be able to do such a thing.
Now that Su Han had taken the initiative to come up with a plan for Great Qin's most difficult food problem, the First Emperor felt incredibly delighted and excited.
"It's actually quite simple-Great Qin does not have sufficient food. Apart from the large number of convicts, soldiers, and corvee, there's also a huge reason for this-the transportation losses!”
"I have consulted Doctor Meng before. Even if there is a road, transporting a cart of grain from Guanzhong to Shangjun, which is thousands of miles away, will consume at least half a cart of people!”
"If it's an area that hasn't been repaired, the food transported might not be as much as the food consumed on the way!”
"Great Qin's many projects, such as connecting the Great Wall and digging spiritual canals, have always been a pain point for the Imperial Court!”
" In that case, why don't we specially transfer some of the active personnel from the corvee and the prisoners and let them reclaim the land on the spot to supply the needs?”
Su Han said in a deep voice.
"Sir, do you mean that the army is going to open up wasteland?”
The First Emperor's expression changed slightly.
Although the army would solve the problem of food supply on the spot, the court's control over it would be reduced. However, the First Emperor had always been particular about using people without suspicion, so he did not care too much about this.
On the other hand, the massive amount of long-distance transportation that Great Qin could save was enough for Great Qin to do many things.
Taking the current situation as an example, even if he saved a little bit, it would be enough to brew millions of jars of fine wine. After Su Han's new retorting process was improved and sold, it would definitely make Neishi Teng, who was always worried about the emptiness of the national treasury, happy.
"Why don't we find a place to give it a try?”
Meng Yi had followed the First Emperor for many years, so he naturally understood that his Emperor was moved. He immediately asked.
"Then let's go to the nearby Dang County!"
The First Emperor nodded in satisfaction and looked at Su Han again.
This strategy of experimenting first and improving while promoting it was really too valuable.
If it worked well, it could even surpass a million troops and ten million dollars!
Su Han's heart skipped a beat.
During this period of time, he had learned a lot about Great Qin's situation from Meng Yi, Wang Jian, and the others. He understood that this Dang County was a large County that the Qin Dynasty had established after destroying the Wei Country.
As the former capital of Wei, Dang County was also one of the places most severely damaged by the war.
Especially since Wang Ben had flooded Daliang seven years ago and turned the surrounding area into a swamp, it had not been fully recovered yet.
Because of this, a large number of surrendered soldiers and convicts were gathered in Dang County as labor force for reconstruction. It was indeed a good place to experiment.
To Su Han, it was actually quite good to be able to walk less.
Although the first emperor had specially arranged the best carriage, without the spring shock absorption system and rubber inflatable tires, it was an extremely difficult thing to travel long distances.
Su Han secretly gave the darn heavens a middle finger in his heart.
It wasn't easy for him to transmigrate. It was fine if he didn't have any cheats, but he didn't even give him potatoes and sweet potato seeds. Wasn't he too stingy?
If he could plant potatoes and sweet potatoes in Great Qin, would he need to spend so much effort?
...
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being bold!"
"Just now, Mr. Su said that for the surrendered soldiers of the six countries, their service period will also be determined. Those who perform well can be converted into official soldiers and be included in the assessment of the military merit and title system.”
"I heard from Old Commandant Wang that the reason why General Tu Sui has only made progress in his southern expedition against the Yue is that the spiritual canal has not been repaired yet and the grain transportation is inconvenient.
The other reason was that the Chu army, which made up the majority of the troops, was afraid!”
A burly man wearing the armor of a captain of the imperial guards bowed respectfully.
"Not bad, you have some knowledge!"
"Zhang Han, from now on, you will be transferred to Mr. Su's side. While protecting him, you should also learn more from him!”
The First Emperor nodded in satisfaction.
The First Emperor had always valued young talents.
Although Zhang Han's words just now were a little overboard and rash, he was able to contact the Southern Expedition Army. It was obvious that his brain was more agile. Learning from Su Han for a period of time might be of great use.
Even though Great Qin had many Generals, there were only a few who could become Commanders.
Among them, Wang Jian was old, Meng Tian needed to guard Shangjun, Wang Ben was stationed in Xianyang, and Li Xin was unable to recover after the defeat of Chu. Otherwise, the First Emperor would not have appointed Tu Sui as the commander of the South Expedition.
From a long-term perspective, it was indeed time to nurture some new people.
Although Su Han said that he was not good at military affairs every day, even Wang Jian could often benefit greatly from Su Han, let alone a rookie with potential like Zhang Han.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Greetings, Mister Su!”
Zhang Han was overjoyed.
Although they hadn't spent much time together, he knew very well how important Mister Su Han was in the Emperor's heart. The First Emperor's intention was clearly to focus on nurturing him.
"So this guy is Zhang Han?”
Su Han shrugged.
It could only be said that Great Qin now had far too many Generals that could fight. Even a future General like Zhang Han could only be a mid-level Lieutenant in the Imperial Guards.
On the other hand, it was also because Huhai and Zhao Gao were too good at squandering and had killed most of the powerful generals and ministers left behind by the Ancestral Dragon. Otherwise, Great Qin would not have collapsed in just a few years.
Forget it, let's talk about the future later.
Now that there was no harm from the poison pill, the First Emperor could live for at least another ten or twenty years. When he had the ability, he could help out and give some ideas. It should not be a problem to live a carefree life.
"Oh right, the matter of Senior Su selling salt at a high price to the foreign land last time made my two old friends very tempted!”
"Now that they have arrived in Xingyang City, if you are interested, you can find time to meet them!”
The First Emperor suddenly said with a smile.
"An old friend of His Majesty, and a businessman?”
Su Han searched his mind and combined it with Meng Yi's introduction. He immediately understood.
So it was them!
