Daqin: Take the bamboo shoots, Zulong eavesdropped on my heart!

Feng Zheng explained with a smile, "It is to cross the northwest of Longxi, pass through a place called the Hexi Corridor, and go west..."

"Is it?"

It turns out that there are still many places in the west of Longxi?

This is beyond everyone's cognition...

All they know is that there is indeed a place further west in Longxi.

However, isn't that place the Kunlun Mountain where the Emperor Zhou once met the Queen Mother of the West?

"Then, this Western Region is in Kunlun Mountain?"

A dignitary heard this and couldn't help asking.

Chapter 481 Thoughts engraved in Lao Qin's DNA

Kunlun Mountains?

Feng Zheng laughed and said, "That's not true, Kunlun Mountain is in the territory of the Qiang people in the west, and the Western Region is even more in the northwest of Kunlun Mountain!"

"Is it?"

When everyone heard this, they were surprised again.

Of course, speaking of it, although they know Kunlun Mountain, they have never been to Kunlun Mountain.

Well, to the west, there are many mountains, and bordering Daqin, there are some scattered Qiang tribes, especially on the high mountains.

Except that before and after the conquest of Yiqu country, Daqin had vigorously assimilated the Qiang people, Daqin had no interest in the more remote Qiang people.

One is that it is too scattered, and the other is that those places are mountainous and snowy, where birds don’t shit and people don’t smoke. For many Qin people, it’s like the end of the world, which doesn’t mean much.

Therefore, their interest in conquest is not that great.

"Then the Western Regions, is it a country? Or is it a Rongdi?"

The dignitary looked at Feng Zheng and continued to ask.

"Oh, the Western Regions..."

Feng Zheng smiled and said, "There are as many as a hundred countries..."

Hiss?

What did you say

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, everyone's expression changed suddenly.

What the fuck?

A hundred countries?

so many?

"There are hundreds of countries in the Western Regions?"

After hearing this, a dignitary couldn't help but wondered, "Marquis of Chang'an, are you joking? How big is this Western Region?"

"The Western Regions, in terms of territory, is no smaller than the Great Qin..."

Feng Zheng said with a smile, "However, when it comes to the population, there is no..."

What?

In terms of territory, it is even bigger than Daqin?

What the fuck?

Isn't this west side barren?

Where did such a big place come from?

However, the place is big, but there are few people?

This can't really be a side of Rong Di, can it?

"Then, how big is it, and how many people are there?"

"This size, it can be big or small..."

what?

Can it be big or small?

What does it mean?

When everyone heard this, they were suddenly puzzled.

"The Western Regions are not a precise place, but a general term for a range."

Feng Zheng explained, "If you say it is small, it should be as big as half a Great Qin. If you say it is big, it can exceed two or three Great Qins."

What the fuck?

Is this so big?

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, everyone was completely stunned.

Ma Madi, there are so many places outside here?

This is something they never thought of before!

"As far as population is concerned, if it is a small area, there should be about 300 million."

Feng Zheng said, "In Daqin, there are less than 100 million households. However, if it is large, there must be tens of millions of people, as many as several million households."

Hiss?

That's not a lot!

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, everyone was shocked and amazed.

"This, do business with there, and there, is it rich?"

A rich man's heart moved, and he immediately asked, "Is the journey far? If it's rich, the journey is not far away, it's the land of Qin!"

That's right, this place is so big, and there are not too few people, but Qin Tu!

Immediately, the old Qin classic mode was activated in the hearts of these dignitaries.

I want to take them down and annex them!

After all, in the whole world, there is no king.

Within the four realms, how can there be a place that is comparable to Daqin and cannot be conquered?

No, that is absolutely impossible!

If it is so fertile and vast, what kind of business is there? Wouldn't it be good to just call it down?

"Ha ha……"

Feng Zheng smiled immediately after hearing this, "At this moment, I'm a little anxious for Qin Tu."

What?

At this moment, want to beat them down, too anxious?

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, everyone's expressions changed immediately.

"Marquis Chang'an, what do you mean by this?"

"The meaning is very simple..."

Feng Zheng smiled and said, "There are many Gobi and grasslands in the Western Regions. There are many countries, and they can be reached with the Xiongnu every day! We are troubled by the Huns in the north. If the Western Regions are wiped out in one go, the defense line will be stretched." But it's even longer! And..."

After speaking, Feng Zheng added, "That place is not very suitable for farming."

uh... uh?

What am I?

Not suitable for farming?

Then hit a ball...

Hearing Feng Zheng's last sentence, everyone was disappointed for a while.

Not suitable for farming...

Well, isn't that similar to where the Qiang people live?

Birds don't shit, what's the use?

When Daqin attacked Baiyue, many officials and dignitaries opposed it.

Many people advocated that the land was not suitable for farming, and there was a lot of miasma, it was just barbarians.

Beating it down doesn't seem to have much effect on Daqin, does it?

Therefore, they opposed sending troops.

However, Qin Shihuang still resisted all opinions and decided to fight!

If you don't fight now, there will be times when your descendants will fight!

Moreover, not only for the current politics, to consume some young children of Chu, but also for the future assimilation of barbarians and expansion of territory, they must be eaten!

Of course, history has proved how far-reaching the impact of Qin Shihuang's move was.

One Qin Shihuang and one Han Wudi brought the whole of Lingnan into the Chinese civilization step by step.

Otherwise, during the chaos of the Five Dynasties, the Han people could only be trapped in the north, while the Baiyue and Miaoman cultures remained in the south, which is basically equivalent to extinction for the Han culture.

Therefore, this is really a thousand-year move for the predecessors to plant trees and the descendants to enjoy the shade.

"Ha ha……"

Ying Zheng also smiled when he heard this.

Feng Zheng had already popularized this information to him long before that.

That's right, there are many grasslands and Gobi deserts in these places in the Western Regions, and there are many deserts, which are definitely not suitable for farming.

Moreover, the troubles of the Huns have not been relieved.

That being the case, it is better to find a way to take advantage of one or two.

It is indeed the most appropriate way to engage in commerce and foreign trade.

"What Feng Zheng said is indeed reasonable."

Ying Zheng said, "The countries in the Western Regions are not suitable for farming, but are suitable for grazing and raising other things. And, now that the Huns have not been pacified, the Western Regions are not in a hurry to be included in the land of Qin. It is better to do business in exchange for it!"

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Feng Zheng immediately said, "Although the Western Regions are not suitable for farming, most of them are herders, and there are many novelties that cannot be found in the Central Plains. It is a good thing for Daqin to do business with them.

For example, the silk and other wooden products made by your lords can be sold to them through trade with the Western Regions.Then exchange cattle, horses and mutton from them, and exchange for other things that the Central Plains did not have, isn't it just right?In this way, the shortage of food in Daqin can also be alleviated. "

kindness?

It is!

Although their place is not suitable for farming, they also have to eat, don't they?

They are engaged in animal husbandry, and they have a lot of cattle, horses and sheep. If they can be traded, it can indeed make up for a lot of food shortages.

After all, what is eating is not eating, not to mention, exchange these inedible things for meat?

Good thing, this is indeed a good thing!

"Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers also believe that it is a good thing to do business with the Western Regions!"

Anyway, they want to do business, which gives them another way to do business, so why not do it?

"It's not urgent to deal with the countries of the Western Regions."

Ying Zheng said lightly, "First of all, we have to discuss with the countries in the Western Regions. After all, nothing can happen without knowing anything."

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Feng Zheng said, "I think so, why don't you send envoys to the countries in the Western Regions, distribute invitations to my Great Qin, promote my Great Qin, and let them come to Xianyang to see the power of the Celestial Dynasty, and wait for them to go back. What they say is much more effective than what we say ourselves."

"Hehe, that's what I said."
