Chapter 730: Developing Grassland
Han Xin smiled and said: "Just tell the Emperor that he can't go back, but before that, we need to find out how the Emperor came to Da Qin, and then we go back the way we came to see if we can go back to the past.
If there is really a way to go back, then go back. If you can't go, then I tell the emperor directly that he can't go back. If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can send troops to escort the emperor back the way he came.
As long as the Imperial Master has returned the same way and knows that he can no longer return to the future, he can tell the Imperial Master all the truth and ask His Majesty the First Emperor to retain the Imperial Master.
I believe the Imperial Master will be willing to stay. "
Meng Yi said: "Your Majesty has already thought of your method and has looked for it. There is indeed no way to the future.
But we can't find it. It may not be possible for you sir. Your Majesty means to rule out all possible things that may happen.
Now His Majesty asked the Yin Yang family to go to the place where Mr. appeared to see if there was a formation. "
When Han Xin heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "I see, the general seems a bit insignificant in front of His Majesty."
Meng Tian said: "Okay, your Majesty will arrange the matter of the emperor's master, we don't need to say more.
By the way, since His Majesty has sent you here, what are your plans and how are you going to manage the grassland. "
Meng Yi smiled and said, "Brother, have you forgotten that my husband once said that we should use economic means to control the grassland?"
When Meng Tian heard this, he immediately remembered what Qin An once said, so he said: "Yes, raise sheep, cattle, and horses.
These are all items needed by Da Qin. Sheep's wool, mutton, sheep bones, and haggis can all be sold for money.
A sheep can be sold for ten taels of silver, and a thousand sheep can be sold for ten thousand taels of silver, and this is still a marketable price.
Especially wool, it is a good thing that everyone needs, especially in winter, this wool can be made into a sweater, which is a holy thing to keep warm.
As for cows and horses, there is no need to say more. Everyone knows the role of cows and horses. "
Meng Yi nodded and said: "Yes, now I can raise cattle, horses, sheep and other livestock. Not only that, I will open up trade routes and grow food where there is land.
The Imperial Master told me that there are rich resources on the grassland, such as grassland, sunshine, fertile land and so on.
I will make use of these. This time I brought a descendant of the Mohist family and the Gongshu family. Among them, the sun is still unable to be used.
But the wind and current will be used.
Some of the rebellious Huns will be taken away and sent to Japan, where labor is needed. "
"Good idea." Meng Tian said, "But how do you use wind and water conservancy?"
Meng Yi smiled and said: "Wind power can build wind power stations and electrify this place. Water conservancy can also develop hydropower stations. At the same time, water conservancy can be used to rectify river courses so that the Yellow River can flow into this place.
Also, build cities, workshops, etc. In the future, the prairie will be a meat granary. If you want to eat meat, you can buy it directly from the prairie. The price is cheap.
I will also form a caravan to sell meat to the Land of Baiyue, and then transport food, fruits, salt, tea and other items from the Land of Baiyue to the prairie. I believe that the lives of the people in the Land of Baiyue will become better and better. The better. "
"But if they live a better life, will they have any objections?" Han Xin asked.
"The imperial court has muskets in hand, do they dare? And the people's lives are better, will they still think about living a hard life?" Meng Yi said with a smile.
"However, in the end, the generals reflected the Huns' capriciousness, and in the end it was the people who suffered."
"Don't worry." Meng Yi said, "The imperial court has begun to build telegraph lines, and communication will be very convenient. Simply put, Xianyang City already knows what happens here without a cup of tea."
"Lord Meng Yi, don't try to deceive the general." Han Xin said in shock,
"There is nothing to deceive you." Meng Yi said, "The imperial court knows about this. From now on, the Qin Dynasty will rely on this advanced communication equipment to rule the world.
But there are still
Also very important is the latest form of transportation being developed by the imperial court, the steam train.
Now it has been successfully produced, tested, and can be used. Now we just have to wait for the rail installation to be completed, and then the world's fastest means of transportation will appear. "
"You can travel thousands of miles a day with a thousand people, and you don't have to worry about them getting tired, and you don't have to feed them grass.
At most, three thousand troops could be transported by steam train. There will be more to come. "
"Three thousand people can travel a thousand miles a day?" Han Xin was shocked.
"That's right." Meng Yi said, "Now the imperial court does not expand externally. Instead, it asks you to guard the border. At the same time, it sends me over. In addition to developing the grassland, there is another important thing."
"What happened?" Han Xin asked.
Meng Tian immediately said displeased: "Han Xin, you asked too much."
When Han Xin heard this, he immediately knew that he had indeed asked too many questions. He immediately stood up and said, "Marshal, please forgive me. I will leave now."
Immediately, without waiting for Meng Tian's answer, he turned around and left.
Meng Yi looked at Han Xin's figure and smiled bitterly: "Brother, it doesn't matter, we have to tell this matter sooner or later."
Meng Tian said: "Okay, let's leave it like this. You just arrived today, so have a good rest first, and I will entertain you well in the evening."
"good."
After Han Xin returned to his camp, Fan Kuai and others came to Han Xin's camp one after another.
"Han Xin, has the imperial court come and sent us a reward?" Fan Kuai asked.
Cao Shen said: "Fan Kuai, don't worry, let Han Xin drink some water."
Then he poured a glass of water for Han Xin and said with a smile, "Drink a glass of water first."
"Thank you." Han Xin took the water glass, "Meng Yi didn't mention this, but I heard that Meng Yi came here to develop the grassland.
In this case, our opportunity has come. Even if there is no reward from the court, as long as we follow Meng Yi to develop the prairie, we can make a lot of money. "
"It's just about making money." Fan Kuai said somewhat unhappily, "We still want to get promoted."
Everyone's faces suddenly showed hope.
Han Xin smiled and said: "What are you worried about? We are all people with military merits. Are you still worried that the court will not give us titles? However, is the title enough for us?"
"Isn't the title enough? Why do you still want to be crowned king?" Fan Kuai said.
Others looked at Han Xin in confusion. The First Emperor had already abolished the enfeoffment system, and they would never be able to become kings in this life.
Han Xin glanced at everyone and said: "Promotion makes us rich. We have been promoted, but we don't have enough money.
A title is enough for you, but that's not enough for me. I also want a lot of money, so that I can enjoy life instead of living a life inferior to others. "
