Chapter 729 Meng Yi goes to the grassland
There is another fleet, Li Si's fleet, which is more numerous and more than double the number of Jianglu's ships, with a total of seventy ships.
Among them, there are seven supply ships, each of which can supply the consumption of ten ships.
There are also four warships. There are two fishing boats. These fishing boats can actually be regarded as supply ships or merchant ships.
If the fishing boats catch seafood, you can eat it yourself or take it to Maurya for sale.
There are so many merchants in the caravan, and some of them must be engaged in catering business, inn business, etc.
Once these businesses are started, they will need a lot of ingredients, including seafood.
So they were worried that the two fishing boats would not be enough.
The rest are merchant ships of different sizes. These merchant ships were filled with Da Qin's goods, allowing them to earn more money.
Although the destinations of both fleets were the Mauryan Dynasty, they could encounter countless countries or tribes at sea.
These countries and tribes can bring a lot of wealth to the caravan, and at the same time set up a transit station there.
And these transfer stations gave caravan members hope. Make money, hope of making big money.
Although there are currently no people in these places, there will be more and more people as time goes by, and they will eventually become part of Da Qin.
Only after going there can we understand how big the world is, how rich the wealth is at sea, and how hard it is to go to sea.
Everyone who goes to sea for the first time gets seasick.
After the two fleets went to sea, Baiyue Land officially entered the development stage.
Shipyard, cement factory, paper factory, salt factory, pharmaceutical factory and a series of workshops.
These workshops range from large to small, ranging from a few hundred to large with thousands or even tens of thousands of workers. This allowed the vast majority of people in the Baiyue tribe to come out to work, and more importantly, there was no restriction on men and women.
Women's labor force is not denied at all.
This is also thanks to Qin An's contribution. For women, they do not necessarily have to take care of their husbands and raise children. Women who can contribute labor to the family are good women.
Border.
The Qin soldiers who obtained the muskets, like divine help, completely defeated the Xiongnu army and completely changed the original direction of history.
But one thing is that the remaining Xiongnu army still fled westward. They did not dare to stay in the Western Regions because they believed that the Qin army would annex all the countries in the Western Regions sooner or later.
If they stay in the Western Region, they will not die in the end. Instead of doing so, it is better to escape further.
After the Xiongnu were driven away, Da Qin completely controlled the grassland. After the news was passed to Xianyang City, Ying Zheng immediately arranged for Meng Yi to manage the grassland.
Although the Xiongnu army had fled, many Xiongnu people did not leave, and there were also many people at the Qin border who were captured by the Xiongnu.
Some of these people were captured during the last sneak attack on the border, some were captured before, some have been for several generations, and some are just one generation old. However, the status of these people among the Xiongnu is extremely low. To be precise, the Xiongnu will Treat people as slaves.
Now they have been rescued, but some people have no homes in Daqin because they have been living on the grassland, so it is a bit difficult to arrange for them.
And Meng Tian and others are a group of generals, and they are not suitable to manage these people at all. Let them join the army. There is no need for them at the moment, not to mention the old, weak, women and children, these people cannot join the army.
If left alone, I'm afraid it won't be long before they starve to death. What's more important is that the Xiongnu people have returned, even though the Xiongnu people have been imprisoned together.
However, originally this group of Xiongnu people may have been the masters of this group of Daqin people, and long-term oppression will definitely lead to hatred. If they are not careful, it may lead to murders.
If it were in the past, Meng Tian would have killed these people without hesitation, but not now. Now Da Qin is short of manpower, especially after occupying the grassland.
Who should manage such a large grassland? Undecided, Meng Tian and others finally had no choice but to let the court make arrangements.
Ying Zheng is
He handed the matter over to Meng Yi, and soon, Meng Yi came to the prairie.
When Meng Tian learned that Meng Yi was coming, he immediately greeted him personally.
After the two brothers met, there were many topics of discussion, especially Qin An, because according to time calculation, there were only less than two months left for Qin An to leave the mountain.
It is no small matter that the emperor's master comes out of the mountain.
It's not that the emperor's master comes out of the mountain to cause strange phenomena in the world, but what kind of mentality the emperor's master will have after he comes out of the mountain.
If you accept the reality and stay in Great Qin with peace of mind, then Great Qin will become stronger and stronger. If the Imperial Master does not want to stay in Great Qin and wants to leave wholeheartedly, then it will be Great Qin's loss.
At the same time, the imperial court is also ready to contact the future.
Sending a large number of talents to study in the future, even if they cannot learn, they will buy a large number of books and come back. Although it is troublesome not to have a master to teach, self-study is just a waste of time.
The conversation between the two brothers stunned all the soldiers. They actually spoke frankly in front of everyone. Shouldn't the affairs of the emperor's master be kept secret? How to let them know. Read the book
Han Xin frowned slightly and interrupted the conversation between the two: "Marshal, Lord Meng Yi, the general is wondering, is there no need to hide the matter of the emperor's master?"
Meng Yi and Meng Tian looked at each other and smiled.
Then Meng Yi explained and said: "Actually, His Majesty has never concealed the matter of the Imperial Master. Hasn't Han Xin heard about the fact that the Imperial Master is a person from the future?
Now I'm afraid everyone in the world is discussing this matter, and the only thing that is hidden is the location of Mr.
The reason why I hid it was because I was worried that the remnants of the Six Kingdoms would be detrimental to my husband.
Needless to say, you should also know how important your husband's existence is to Da Qin.
But His Majesty has never thought of hiding the existence of the Emperor Master from the future from the world. "
Han Xin said: "In that case, why didn't the Imperial Master come out early?"
"This is because His Majesty was worried that the Imperial Master would know that he had come to the Qin Dynasty and would not stay, so he concealed the fact that the Imperial Master traveled across the Qin Dynasty.
If the Imperial Master had a way to go back, then Da Qin would not have so many farm tools, nor would it have so many advanced technologies, let alone the muskets you have in hand.
Even if it is impossible to have special forces, the people will still live in precarious conditions. "
"Then why is the Imperial Master coming out now?" Han Xin asked again.
"Because the Imperial Master's original mission was to go to a bitter and cold place to teach and educate people for three years.
It has been almost three years since the Imperial Master came to Da Qin. After three years, His Majesty has no excuse to hide anything, unless the Imperial Master does not want to go back. "Meng Yi explained again.
Han Xin said: "In fact, it is very simple to make the Imperial Master stay."
"What can you do?" Meng Yi asked, "As long as it is feasible, you will have made a contribution."
