These slaves all want to open the canal and squeeze their bodies dry.
Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng got up and walked towards Brother Zheng's bedroom.
……
Wait until Zhao Sheng arrives in the palace.
In front of Zhao Sheng, kneeling on the ground was a Jiuyuan cavalry from Jiuyuan County.
Under Zheng Ge's gesture, Zhao Sheng found a seat and sat down.
Jiuyuan Iron Cavalry put the letter handed over by General Meng Tian to the servant.
The servant presented the letter to Brother Zheng.
The letter was written by Meng Tian, and the general content of it was that the Huns wanted to surrender, but Meng Tian refused.
Brother Zheng didn't care about this. For barbarians like the Xiongnu, even if they surrendered, as long as they accumulated strength one day, they would show their fangs to Daqin at any time.
How could such an ambitious Xiongnu be kept.
"The Huns want to surrender."
"What do you think?" Brother Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked Zhao Sheng.
"The Xiongnu are afraid of the Great Qin. Surrender is probably just a strategy for the Xiongnu to slow down the army." Zhao Sheng said coldly.
Brother Zheng nodded in agreement, with murderous intent in his eyes, "Go back and tell Meng Tian, if you see a Hun within ten miles outside Mongolia County, kill him!"
Jiuyuan Tieqi was shocked by this, and said repeatedly, "No."
Ten miles away from Mongolia County, even if it does not belong to the territory of Daqin, the figures of the Huns are not allowed to set foot on it.
Chapter 143 Opening the Lingqu
The first emperor was really domineering.
This is not what Zheng Ge said for fun, but for Meng Tian to really do it.
Whenever the Huns dared to set foot, they could be regarded as a provocation to Great Qin.
Must kill.
After Jiuyuan Cavalry left.
The second half of the letter is entirely Meng Tian's appreciation for Han Sheng.
Brother Zheng still felt familiar with the name Han Sheng.
After thinking about it for a while, Brother Zheng finally realized that Han Sheng had offered to provide relief with work in front of Brother Zheng.
Han Sheng is a talent.
It was written in the letter that when Han Sheng moved back to the corvee, he placed a group of homeless corvee in Mongolia County.
Brother Zheng originally planned to relocate the Qin people and settle in Mongolia County.
Right now, Han Sheng directly implemented the matter for Brother Zheng.
At the same time, the corvee was also sent back. It can be said that it killed two birds with one stone.
Brother Zheng has silently recorded Han Sheng's name, and when he returns from Japan, Han Sheng will definitely be reused by Brother Zheng.
After reading Meng Tian's letter, Brother Zheng asked Zhao Sheng, who was playing with the globe, "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace. What's the matter?"
Zhao Sheng grinned and smiled, "Father, what do you think of this place?"
The location Zhao Sheng pointed to was south of the Qinling Mountains.
Brother Zheng was on tour around the country, and he had naturally been to the place Zhao Sheng pointed out. Brother Zheng always felt that Zhao Sheng had something to say today, so he asked, "Why?"
"The climate in the south is humid and suitable for growing rice, while the north is drier and suitable for planting millet. My father thinks that if the northerners want to eat rice, the southerners want to eat millet. What should I do?" Zhao Sheng said with a smile.
Brother Zheng's face darkened, and he said in a bad mood, "Stop being so talkative, talk about things."
After being reprimanded by Brother Zheng, Zhao Sheng calmed down and continued, "I want to build a canal from north to south!"
Zhao Sheng drew the general direction of the canal on the globe in front of him with his hands.
"The construction of the canal has three benefits for Daqin!" Zhao Sheng mused.
Brother Zheng looked at the canal that Zhao Sheng was pointing at, paused and said, "This is a big project, but I would like to hear about the three benefits!"
"One is the north-south trade. Merchants rely on ships to transport heavy goods. This is only a benefit in trade.
The second reason is that Daqin was able to win the Battle of Millions in the Battle of Changping when it went south to Baiyue. .
The State of Qin relied on the Ling Canal to transport grain and grass, which was able to support such a huge demand for grain and grass, and won the battle of Changping.
The construction of the canal will facilitate the transportation of grain and grass in the future. "
Zhao Sheng came slowly for Brother Zheng.
Brother Zheng was thoughtful, and continued to ask Zhao Sheng, "What about the third one?"
What Brother Zheng has to consider is whether this canal is worth Daqin's energy to build.
"The third is that it is convenient for the father to go on tour." Zhao Sheng grinned and said.
The third is actually a bonus.
Brother Zheng said in a deep voice, "Do you know how much national power and manpower the Great Qin needs to invest in building the canal as you said!"
"Now that I have just come into contact with corvees, do you want me to recruit corvees again?"
Zhao Sheng waved his hand and replied, "There is no need to recruit corvée, the Xiongnu slaves can build canals for the Great Qin. As for building canals, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages!"
Brother Zheng sat back in his seat with a heavy expression on his face, but he was actually weighing the matter.
Zhao Sheng approached Brother Zheng and continued, "Father, if there are not enough slaves, just send General Meng Tian to lead the Jiuyuan Iron Cavalry to send troops to wipe out the Xiongnu again. I believe that tens of thousands of Xiongnu slaves will be brought back. The canal will be built. For the general Ren Xiao who is going south, he is like a magic soldier to help in calming Baiyue."
As for Baiyue, the last general who lost was Tu Sui. Because he underestimated Baiyue, he was ambushed and attacked by local natives when he was passing through the woods. life.
The remaining Daqin soldiers had no leader. Even though Daqin was well-equipped, they failed in the battle with the Yue people.
The biggest problem in dealing with Baiyue is that the Daqin soldiers are easily acclimatized in the territory of Baiyue.
As for the unacceptable water and soil, building a few spiritual canals in the land near Baiyue can solve the cause of the unacceptable water and soil.
