Time Travel: The First Female Imperial Teacher of the Qin Dynasty
Chapter 82 Colonial rule, this is our only choice
Of course, she is also a generous friend, and this kind of demeanor will make the soldiers respect and love her even more.
After three rounds of drinking, when everyone was full and satisfied, Ying Zheng finally asked, "Girl, were your previous predictions based on speculation about people's hearts?"
Lin Anlan smiled slightly: "That's right, human hearts are the easiest thing to guess in this world."
"Then how do you determine the situation on the border?" Ying Zheng asked.
Lin Anlan patiently explained: "The Xiongnu have lost their natural enemy, so they are bound to provoke a war. The Yuezhi have just been destroyed, their people are exhausted, and they are far away from the Central Plains, so they are naturally unable to fight again. All of this is based on an understanding of human nature."
"Thank you for your advice." Ying Zheng and the other two stood in awe.
"By the way, when I have nothing to do, I will draw a nautical chart for the Qin fleet to refer to." Lin Anlan suddenly thought of it.
"Sea chart?"
Lin Anlan smiled and nodded: "That's right, the vast ocean is full of dangers. If you are not careful, it is easy to get lost."
Under the watchful eyes of Ying Zheng and others, Lin Anlan slowly drew a part of the nautical chart based on the memories in his mind.
"Girl, is this the sea chart?" Ying Zheng pointed at the drawing on the table. Everyone looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out what it was.
"Yes, this is a nautical chart. With it, we can standardize shipping routes, reduce risks, shorten trading time, and increase tax revenue for the court." Lin Anlan put down the pen in her hand and looked at her masterpiece. This was her first time drawing a nautical chart, and she was a little dissatisfied, but it was generally correct.
"Oh, with this thing, will merchants rush to go out to sea?" Ying Zheng looked at Lin Anlan. This girl was really surprising. She could make such an amazing thing.
"Your Majesty, as long as there is profit, merchants will actively participate, so that our Great Qin can develop rapidly and become the number one country in the world in a short time." Lin Anlan's words deeply shocked Ying Zheng. He had always wanted to make the Great Qin prosperous, but he did not expect it to be realized so quickly.
Ying Zheng pointed at the strange pattern on the nautical chart and asked: "What are these strange symbols?"
"These are all precious mineral resources, but they cannot be mined now. We need to wait for a while."
"Are these all iron ores?" Ying Zheng looked at Lin Anlan with hope on his face.
"Not all of them. There are all kinds of minerals. But these memories are not very accurate. We need to wait until the sea is opened to know." Lin Anlan explained. After all, so many years have passed and she can't remember the location of everything.
"Where is America?" Ying Zheng looked at the map, but there was no mark on America!
"This is America, located in the northern coastal area of America. The exact location is unclear and it is so old that there are no detailed records in history books." Lin Anlan pointed to the location of America. She only knew the approximate location through historical records.
"How many troops are there in America and how strong are they?" Meng Yi looked at the map with a frown. The army in America could not be more than that of Qin!
"I'm not sure about that, but as long as we develop faster than them and their weapons and equipment can't keep up with our pace, we still have a chance." Zhang Han looked confident. As long as their weapons were better than the enemy's, there was no reason why they couldn't win.
Meng Yi nodded confidently: "Even if they develop faster than us, with the power of the Shaofu, we can catch up in a short time."
Ying Zheng and others began to imagine future wars, as if the war with America was imminent.
"Wait, are you too impatient?" Lin Anlan interrupted. These people were really impatient. America was far away from Daqin, and it would take hundreds of years before a war could start.
"Girl, do you have any better idea?" Ying Zheng turned and looked at her.
“I think we should solve the food problem first and then consider other issues.”
"An Lan, do you think we have enough food?" Ying Zheng asked.
"That's enough. This year, Daqin has a good grain harvest, enough for the people to eat for several years." Lin Anlan said. This year, Daqin has good weather and the grain output is extremely high, enough for the people to eat for several years.
Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
"Your Majesty, I think we should take over America first, and then plunder their wealth." Meng Yi suggested, "Mr. Lin, how many people are there in America?"
"More than five million."
"you sure?"
Lin Anlan nodded affirmatively: "Yes, according to historical records, the population of America is over one million, but it definitely did not reach five million, probably around one million."
Ying Zheng was shocked: "How is this possible?"
"Your Majesty, the land in America is barren, the climate is harsh, the grain production is extremely low, and wars often occur, so the population has always been small." Lin Anlan explained.
"So that's it." Ying Zheng suddenly realized that he almost misjudged the situation.
"America is still in the Stone Age today, with a very small population. No country has been formed, let alone an army." Lin Anlan's next words dumbfounded Ying Zheng, Meng Yi, Zhang Han and others. They thought America was a powerful enemy, but they didn't expect the result to be like this.
"This..." Ying Zheng and others looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"Although the population in America is sparse, the land is fertile and rich in resources, which is suitable for growing crops such as grain and cotton. If we can occupy America, we can obtain a large amount of food and resources, and also expand our territory."
"Girl, what are your plans?" Ying Zheng looked at Lin Anlan. He knew that she would definitely not do anything without a purpose.
"Colonial rule is our only option."
Ying Zheng and others looked at her in confusion: "Colonial rule?"
Lin Anlan explained: "The population of America is about one million. If we massacre them, I'm afraid that in a few years, there will be no one left to kill in America. Moreover, the land in America is fertile and rich in resources, which is suitable for growing food, so it is best for us to adopt a colonial rule."
"Well, what the girl said makes sense. As the most powerful country in the world, how could we, the Great Qin, do such a thing as massacring the people?"
"Your Majesty is wise." Lin Anlan flattered.
"But how do we carry out colonial rule?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Build cities, immigrate there, and turn the native inhabitants of America into citizens of the Qin Empire."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Lin Anlan continued: "There is no country in the Americas with a population of more than one million, so there is no need for us to worry about them rebelling."
Meng Yi looked at E excitedly when he heard this: "Does that mean we can easily occupy America?"
"That's true in theory, but there may be some difficulties in actual operation. After all, America is too far away from Daqin." Lin Anlan sighed slightly.
"There is nothing to worry about. Wherever our Great Qin's cavalry goes, it is all Great Qin's territory." Ying Zheng exuded domineering aura.
"Your Majesty, in fact, population is also a very important resource. We must cherish it." Lin Anlan reminded that the population of Daqin is really too small. If a large-scale massacre is carried out, it will be disadvantageous to Daqin.
"Cherish the population?" Ying Zheng and others looked at Lin Anlan in confusion.
