Chen Ke's inquiry was very direct, and Ying Zheng's response was even more direct.
"Yes, how can I not want it?"
He looked at Chen Ke, shrugged his shoulders and said, "But I also know that perhaps the current world plus the land of Baiyue is the upper limit of Great Qin."
"Too much land will not make Great Qin a better place, but may be a burden."
In fact, although Ying Zheng is ambitious, he is more intelligent.
Today's Great Qin territory is large enough. Except for Tubo and part of the Western Regions, the rest is even larger than that of later generations.
For example, Beihai Prefecture will not belong to China in later generations.
And at this time belongs.
After Baiyue is captured, Da Qin's territory will become even larger, because Baiyue will be called "Vietnam" in later generations and does not belong to China.
Such a huge territory brings not only benefits, but also another even more terrifying thing.
That was the "dominance" that Great Qin could not bear.
Da Qin's ruling power is naturally sufficient, at least now under Qin's laws, most of the states and counties are safe and sound.
But the problem is that this is already a limit.
Therefore, Ying Zheng or Da Qin is temporarily powerless when it comes to the Maurya Dynasty.
I have the heart to swallow this big cake, but I don’t have the strength to digest this big cake.
He looked at Chen Ke and said, "Is there anything you can do?"
Chen Ke shrugged his shoulders: "Your Majesty has nothing to do, what can I do?"
"It's a matter of time."
"If you give me five years, I can bring Da Qin to cultivate enough talents and a complete system, so that Da Qin can completely digest the place it currently controls, and your Majesty's control over them can be greatly improved. promote."
"If you give me ten years, I can construct a complete transportation system, and even ask people from the Manufacturing Department to research new means of transportation to solve the communication problems between the north and south, the east and west, and other places outside Xianyang City. .”
"If you give me twenty years, I can tame the people of the world for Your Majesty, so that the capitals of Guizhou and Guizhou can obey Your Majesty's orders."
"If you give me thirty years, I can control an entire village with three officers without any action, and eight hundred officers can control the population of an entire county."
Chen Ke looked at Ying Zheng's eyes and sighed helplessly: "But Your Majesty, we can't conjure up five, ten, or twenty years out of thin air."
"So, our best way is to build a city here and turn it into one of the largest ports in Da Qin, allowing it to handle the entire Da Qin."
Chen Ke drew his finger on a certain location on the Kanyu map: "For example, here."
"Your Majesty built a city based on this place. This place is an inland sea and is surrounded by land to protect it firmly."
"And opposite it is the sea, and it is closely surrounded by part of the rest of Baiyue Land."
Chen Ke had a vague look in his eyes, as if he had thought of something.
"It just so happens that the cement developed by the Manufacturing Department can be used to build new cities on a large scale, so that they will not collapse for a hundred years or a thousand years."
"Of course, some other materials may need to be used. Just leave these instructions and let the people in the Manufacturing Department study them."
Ying Zheng looked at the position pointed by Chen Ke, his expression slightly raised.
"Build a city here?"
"Chen Ke, do you know how difficult it is to build a city here?"
"More importantly, where can we find a group of Guizhou people willing to immigrate here?"
Chen Ke's eyebrows were filled with a bit of pride: "Your Majesty, do you still remember what I said that in some places in Baiyue, rice can be harvested three times a year?"
Ying Zheng was a little surprised: "So, here, rice can be harvested three times a year?"
Chen Ke's finger landed somewhere on the map of Kanyu.
It's near that point: "Yes, Your Majesty, it's around here."
"You said, if we capture Baiyue, we can build a city here."
"And we announced that our military exploits can be exchanged for three crops of land here a year, but the prerequisite is that the whole family must move here."
"And one-tenth of the land exchanged for military merit does not need to be returned to the government when the population dies, but has a fixed period of time."
"Like eighty years?"
When he heard Chen Ke say that the land does not need to belong to the government after the death of the population, Ying Zheng looked a little bad, but then he heard what Chen Ke said next.
In an instant, Ying Zheng looked much better.
Eighty years also has a time limit. For ordinary Guizhou people, the longest life span is only fifty or sixty years. If it were normal, it would be over forty years.
But for nobles like them, with the most sophisticated environment, they might be able to live to be seventy or eighty years old.
For example, Wang Jian, now over eighty years old, can still mount a horse and kill the enemy.
For those people, it may be a two or three generation inheritance, that is, an inheritance that can be seen with the eyes, but for him and Da Qin, it is just a generation of monarchs.
"you're right."
Ying Zheng nodded, he also agreed with this matter.
"The problem now is, how to attack Baiyue."
Chen Ke shook his head: "Your Majesty, before attacking Baiyue, we need to resolve the troublesome issues in Kuaiji County first."
Ying Zheng curled his lips: "Everything is under my control, they didn't even break through my expectations."
"I thought that those people would be able to do better if I, the imperial court, and others just let it go."
"Who would have thought that I would only dare to hover in the old land."
Ying Zheng seemed to laugh: "Besides, there are not as many people hidden in the court who still care about the past as I thought."
This is indeed true.
Ying Zheng originally thought there would be at least dozens of those people, but who would have thought that there were only two or three in Xianyang City, and even there were only a dozen people in the place.
I don’t know what these people are thinking. They actually think that a dozen people can threaten Da Qin...
Chen Ke looked at Ying Zheng's disinterested expression and sighed: "Your Majesty, actually these people can do a lot of things."
"Think about it, they are still officials of the Qin Dynasty. If they use the reputation of officials of the Qin Dynasty and do something to harm the head of Guizhou in the name of the court."
"This is not a good thing for Da Qin."
Ying Zheng was a little surprised: "When I behead them, the leaders of Guizhou will naturally know that those things were done by them, not by me or Da Qin."
"Will this have any impact?"
Looking at the surprised Ying Zheng, Chen Ke suddenly felt a little confused.
This is true....
In this era where people are all stupid, in this era where there is no so-called public knowledge and rhythm...
This doesn't seem to be a big deal.
