Chapter 463: China’s Enemy: Japan
Ying Zheng frowned slightly and said, "This official is so wasteful. Is there no one to take care of him?"
"Yes, the imperial court arrested and beheaded all these corrupt officials and confiscated their property. In addition, they also arrested these traders who were selling illegal salt." Qin An said.
"The purpose of what I tell you is that selling salt is actually very profitable, especially private salt. Private salt is cheaper than official salt. Since private salt is so rampant, why not formalize private salt.
Merchants were allowed to make salt, but they needed to go through the salt-making procedures with the court, pay money, etc.
But this is a matter for the future. I will never allow private salt to appear. I will lower the price of salt so that private salt will not appear and there will be no profit. Or are ordinary people going to take risks for such a small amount of money? "
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "It is really not cost-effective to risk buying private salt if you are short of a few pennies.
Qin An, your first step will not be that simple. "
"Of course not, I will send people to the land of Baiyue, get the rice seeds, and bring them to Xianyang City for cultivation.
The second step is to send farmers to Baiyue to conduct grain breeding, that is, research on hybrid rice.
I don’t require them to successfully develop hybrid rice right away, as long as they increase the yield a little with each study.
The first step is to give people jobs and increase food production so that they have enough to eat. "
"What about the second step?" Gan Luo asked.
"The second step is to increase farmers' income. I told my father-in-law and others about this, which is to establish rural cooperatives and let rural cooperatives cooperate with businessmen." Qin An replied.
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "This step is very important, but the prerequisite is that there must be enough merchants in Da Qin. No wonder you let the nobles do business just for this second step."
"Roughly the same."
"Yes means it, no means it doesn't. It's almost the same, but it's a lot different if it's almost." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
Qin An immediately explained: "My father-in-law is almost right, but there is a small difference. My purpose is to strengthen Qin and enrich the people.
Then comes the third step, which is to build trade roads across the country. After merchants make money, they will pay attention to the importance of trade roads.
There is a saying that goes well, if you want to be rich, build roads first.
Therefore, the third step is to build the road. There are two types of roads, cement roads and water roads. You should have seen cement roads, but you haven’t seen railways yet.
Waterways are divided into internal roads and sea routes. The sea route is simple and only requires building a ship. It can more conveniently circulate goods from the north to the south.
The inland river road is more troublesome. This requires digging the river. This is a big project and is not something Daqin can do now.
At that time, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty sent five million people to dig rivers, and finally the country was dug up.
I don’t want to add this big project to the people when there are already two big projects, the Great Wall and Lishan Mountain.
This will only accelerate the demise of the Qin Dynasty, which is not what I want to see.
Since I help Qin, I will never allow the death of the second generation of Great Qin. I want Great Qin to last for eternity, and at least five to six hundred years of national destiny. "
Every word Qin An said was sonorous and powerful, explaining his determination to help Da Qin.
"Okay." Ying Zheng said excitedly, "With your help, I think Great Qin will be prosperous forever."
"It's a pity that I don't have a chance and can only change the village." Qin An said somewhat dimly. None of the young people nowadays have a time-travel dream.
Li Si saw some signs and said: "Qin An, you seem to be very disappointed. Didn't you just say that you were helping Da Qin while thinking about going back, and now you are disappointed? This is a bit contradictory."
Qin An smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't it natural to think about going back? Everyone will miss home.
But I'm just thinking about it. If I can really go back, wouldn't I be able to go back whenever I want and come whenever I want?
This can be regarded as a sustenance for myself.
But, I really traveled to Daqin, I will definitely change Daqin
Destiny, but also to deal with China's future enemies. "
"Are you talking about Japan?"
"Yes, Japan's future success is all because of Xu Fu. He deceived the First Emperor and then sent three thousand boys and girls to Japan. Otherwise, Japan would not even be on fire now." Qin An said with great disdain. .
What we have today in these small days is all thanks to China. Since the Han Dynasty, people from Japan have come to surrender to the Han Dynasty. Until the Tang Dynasty, they even dared to fight against the Tang Dynasty.
After being defeated, they waited until the Ming Dynasty when Japanese pirates appeared, and then the Qing Dynasty. They even blatantly sent troops to kill the Chinese people.
How can we, as Chinese children, forget these responsibilities and evil deeds?
Therefore, as long as Qin An has a chance, he will let Great Qin occupy Japan as soon as possible and destroy Japan from the source. As long as Japan becomes the territory of Great Qin like Baiyue, then he will never be able to go out independently in this life.
"No wonder His Majesty would take action against Japan. It turns out that Japan in the future is the enemy of China, but I don't know how big the hatred is?" Gan Luo thought secretly in his heart.
Meng Yi said: "I believe that you, sir, will be able to capture Japan and avenge China."
"Anyone who knows about the crimes committed by Japanese people in China can say that as long as he is a Chinese, he would like to eat their flesh and drink their blood." Feng Quji said.
"Sir." Gan Luo asked curiously, "What crimes did Japan commit against China?"
"They wanted to annex China. Not only did they burn, kill, and loot in China, but they also experimented on human bodies and turned Chinese women into comfort women. In order to drive them out, we fought with them for eight years. In the end, three thousand people died. Five million people.
Once they captured a city and massacred it directly. Three hundred thousand unarmed people were massacred by them.
They also asked ordinary people to dispose of the bodies for them.
Alas, I won’t say it anymore. Talking too much will only make me angrier and angrier. Being angry is not good for your health. "
"The massacre of the city seems to be nothing." Gan Luo said tentatively, "Bai Qi killed 400,000 people."
As soon as Gan Luo finished speaking, he immediately received angry looks from Qin An, Ying Zheng, Li Si and others.
"What are you talking about?" Qin An said angrily, "If you say these words in the outside world, you will definitely be insulted by countless people and call you a traitor.
Although Bai Qi killed 400,000 people to surrender to the enemy, did he do it on purpose? No, that's because there is no food.
How much food do 400,000 people eat every day? What's more, there is Da Qin's own army.
Moreover, Qin State had no food at that time, and Zhao State had no food either.
In order to preserve the Qin army and ensure that Qin could remain strong, they were forced to kill 400,000 people in the end.
Even if Bai Qi did it on purpose, the soldiers he killed were the other party's soldiers. The situation at that time was to wipe out all the enemy's effective forces, so that Qin could have a chance to unify the six countries. "
