After Chen Ke said the words, he suddenly felt as if he breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did he realize that his reaction to the Qin Nu clan was a bit excessive, but he didn't think it was anything.
This is a national feud.
At this time, Chen Ke was like a little kid complaining to his parents.
In fact, to a certain extent, Ying Zheng is indeed Chen Ke's "parent".
After all, ancestors can be considered a type of parents, right?
Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke with some surprise. He found that Chen Ke's tone actually contained some emotions that could be said to be "grievance" and "complaint".
This is also a novel experience for him.
The First Emperor swept across Liuhe with great majesty.
Whether he is a minister or a son, they are all respectful to him, and they never have the same grievances as Chen Ke.
Ying Zheng suddenly felt that he was carrying some baggage in his heart.
"If you don't like it, just exterminate it."
He spoke without hesitation.
He could still distinguish clearly between a vassal group and an important minister.
But Chen Ke didn't want this, because it was not a good thing for him or Da Qin.
"Your Majesty, it doesn't have to be like this."
Although the emotion in his heart has not eased, he knows what is the best way to deal with his enemy.
"Not only do we not want to exterminate the entire clan, but we also need to strengthen our arrangements on Slave Island."
There was a proud smile on Chen Ke's lips.
"The silver mines over there can be mined for at least a few hundred years. During these hundreds of years, although we can reward Slave Island with some culture, we must not bring advanced technology."
Yawenba
"Let Slave Island continue to be so backward and let them become our "slaves". "
"Just keep digging for silver in dark places."
Chen Ke said calmly: "In this way, I can be in the light and they are in the dark, and we can avoid the fate conflict between us."
Ying Zheng replied without any hesitation: "Okay."
"Just do it."
Then, he said curiously: "Chen Ke, besides gold and silver, what else is there on Slave Island?"
"Why are you paying so much attention to this place?"
Chen Ke's expression turned slightly gloomy. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, the geographical location of Slave Island is a bit strange."
He pointed to the chart Xu Fu brought back and said, "Look, he is here."
"If this place is occupied by an enemy country, our position will be relatively uncomfortable."
"Therefore, we must occupy this place, but we do not have to make it the land of Great Qin. In this way, even if there is any war in the future, this place can become a buffer zone."
"We can fight on Slave Island without having to bring down Da Qin's land."
Ying Zheng looked at the location pointed by Chen Ke and hesitated for a moment, but he felt that what Chen Ke said made sense.
Although we don't know what kind of enemy will attack from this place, it is always necessary to take precautions before they happen.
"Does Great Qin need to station troops on Slave Island?"
Garrison?
Hearing this, Chen Ke looked a little hesitant: "I think it is not necessary to station troops at this time."
His fingers tapped lightly on the table, with a slight calmness on his face.
"In fact, the world is not yet completely stable. If we send a large number of troops to garrison Slave Island, we might as well send troops to garrison the border."
"It can also guard against the Huns and the Baiyue people in the south."
Chen Ke paused and then said: "Speaking of Baiyue, I have an idea."
Ying Zheng had curiosity on his face: "Idea? What idea?"
Chen Ke looked at Ying Zheng and said softly: "Your Majesty, although there are many miasmas in the south, we can actually gradually move our borders."
"While cutting down trees and turning the Baiyue land from jungle to flat land, cities were gradually built there."
"In this way, when there is a town on the border of Baiyue that belongs entirely to Da Qin, the initiative to attack Baiyue will be completely in our hands."
"And cutting down trees, turning them into farmland, and building towns can also reduce the miasma there."
"Now, Feng Yushi is going to explore the Western Regions and bring back novel seeds."
"As for Xu Fu, after returning to Beijing to recuperate, he can also set off with Feng Yushi. Feng Yushi will go to the Western Regions, and he will go to the Yin Shang Continent that I mentioned."
Chen Ke became more and more excited as he talked.
He wanted Xu Fu to go to the American continent, definitely not because he wanted to eat chili peppers and was going crazy.
Mainly because chili peppers are also good for customers to overcome the miasma.
Chili pepper can stimulate people to sweat. After people sweat, they will bring out some miasma, which has great potential and effect in conquering Baiyue.
And if Feng Jie can bring back some seeds from the Western Region, this will be the biggest gain.
Some things that will be familiar to later generations can gradually appear.
Seeing Chen Ke's excited eyes, Ying Zheng became excited unconsciously.
"good."
"But, what official positions should be awarded to Feng Jie and Xu Fu?"
"I'm a little hesitant."
Chen Ke blinked, but at this time he did not speak, just listened to Ying Zheng speak slowly.
Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke and said calmly: "I have two ideas. The first idea is to send the two of them as envoys. They will both be envoys of Great Qin."
"This is one of a kind."
"The second option is for me to establish a new official position for them."
"But the rank of this official position is under my consideration."
After finishing his thoughts, Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke and said, "Chen Ke, what official position do you think we should be given?"
Chen Ke did not hesitate at all: "Your Majesty, Xu Fu has made great contributions and deserves a reward."
"If we just send him to continue his mission at this time, I'm afraid Xu Fu will have some resentment in his heart. Although he doesn't dare to say it or have it, it will accumulate over the years and one day it will explode."
"There is only one way to catch a thief, but there is no way to guard against a thief for a thousand days."
Ying Zheng also nodded.
Although he likes to force his ministers to work, he is also generous.
Therefore, although he gave two different ideas, he actually preferred the second one, which was to establish a separate official position.
Ying Zheng hesitated a little: "But, what new official position will be established?"
"One of the two goes to the Western Region, and the other goes to the sea."
"It's not easy to set up."
After thinking for a short time, Chen Ke said directly: "Your Majesty, Mo Ziyan, Sili Xunyan, seeker, means to explore and seek."
"On language: Seeing unwholesomeness is like exploring a soup. To explore means to explore."
"I think that we can set up an official position called "Exploration Order." "
"The official position means exploring, exploring, and seeking new things, which is exactly what these two people should do."
"It's just that regarding this rank, it still needs to be decided by His Majesty. I don't know much about it."
Exploration order?
Ying Zheng fell into deep thought, this seemed like a good official position.
As for the grade...
He thought for a long time: "What about the rank? Why not be half a rank lower than Tongsan?"
