Chapter 601 This is an era of iron and blood.
After many years of separation, Yao Jia ran outside the Qin Dynasty. In order to bury the dark son deep, he felt a little frustrated. However, when he saw the First Emperor, the frustration completely disappeared.
Looking at this figure, Yiru, the destruction of the six kingdoms by the Great Qin Dynasty, and the glory of heaven and earth made Yao Jia feel that the suffering he suffered was worth it.
In this life, Emperor Qin Shi gave him the opportunity to go from a Wei State to a prison guard who was looked down upon, and thus leaped over to the office of the Qin Dynasty and become an important minister of the nine ministers of the Qin Dynasty.
Emperor First Emperor treated him with a national scholar. He Yao Jia was not a ungrateful person. Naturally, he wanted to repay the National Venerable.
Therefore, in Yao Jia's view, whether the Qin Empire became powerful was his mission.
Just as Ying Zheng and Yao Jia were feeling each other, Li Si, Xiao He, Xiang Da, Wang Wan, Dun Lu and others also came to Zhangtai Palace.
"I'm going to pay homage to Your Majesty, Your Majesty for thousands of years, and the Qin for thousands of years--!" Headed by Li Si, the ministers saluted Ying Zheng, and they also saw Yao Jia, but the First Emperor did not say much in front of him.
But at this moment, they all roughly guessed that the reason why the First Emperor summoned them this time must have a lot to do with Yao Jia.
"You guys don't have to be too polite."
Ying Zheng signaled Li Si and others to take their seats, and then looked at Zhao Gao: "Salute tea to all your dear friends."
"promise."
"I thank Your Majesty."
Li Si and others bowed to thank him, and then sat down. Ying Zheng was extremely polite to Li Si and others. Although he was the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, these ministers had never had a peaceful life in the past few years.
Especially Li Si and Wang Wan, one thing was piled up together, and the lights of the major offices of the Qin Empire were almost all night.
"Sit all."
Ying Zheng saw Zhao Gao bring the tea with the eunuch and left one by one, and then smiled indifferently and said, "Today, it is for one thing to call your beloved ministers."
"Mr. Yao Jia from the Foreign War Department of the Qin Empire, and all my dear friends are familiar with it. Let Yao Jia tell you about the specific situation, and then you will tell me what you think."
"promise."
The ministers responded, Yao Jia took a sip of tea, and then said to Li Si and others: "My colleagues, due to the connection of the Silk Road over the years, the merchants of the Qin Dynasty ran around, and at the same time, the merchants from other countries from other countries entered the Qin territory."
"The exchanges between the East and the West have gradually become more and more common. The kings outside the territory admired the prosperity of our Great Qin and admired our Great Qin culture. They wanted to come to see Your Majesty and seek to establish diplomatic relations with the Great Qin."
"Your Majesty has refused this matter once before, but now the kings of the Western Regions have mentioned it again, this time..."
.........
After Yao Jia spoke, he completely told the whole thing, and all the situations were clearly presented to everyone. In Zhangtai Palace, the ministers were silent, thinking about what Yao Jia said.
Now the Great Qin is at a time of profound change. Once outsiders come, it will somewhat affect the construction of the Great Qin. However, this is another good opportunity given by heaven.
The ministers of the Qin Dynasty were not the masters who were willing to stay in a corner. They experienced a magnificent road to unification with the First Emperor and were extremely enthusiastic about expanding territory.
Even the people of the Great Qin Empire were the same enthusiasm, just because the First Emperor mentioned that the Great Qin did not want to fight outside, but the population was insufficient.
As a result, in recent years, the population of the Great Qin Empire has increased greatly. Although the number of people who have increased is young, ten years later, they will be young and twenty years later, they will be young and strong, and they will be warable soldiers.
After the land reform, the farmers in Daqin also needed more offspring to farm and needed labor. For a time, the Qin Dynasty and the country were extremely enthusiastic about having children.
Having more babies is to contribute to the empire.
"My dear friends, do you agree or refuse this?" Ying Zheng's calm eyes flashed across everyone's body, and finally spoke, saying, "Or, do you have other thoughts in your heart?"
"As long as it is for the empire and for the Qin Dynasty, my dear friends will speak freely."
"promise."
Li Si and Wang Wan looked at each other, then spoke, saying, "Your Majesty, I think the Qin Dynasty is not suitable for rejecting the kings outside the territory again. The Qin merchants are running on the Silk Road, and most of these kings are important countries on this Silk Road."
"The current Daqin is not suitable for sending troops to destroy it. Naturally, it is necessary to have a good relationship with it to ensure the safety of the caravan."
Li Si's words basically set a tone for this matter. Everyone knows that it is this business road that makes Liangzhou prosperous, and even drives Xiazhou, reducing the pressure on the imperial treasury.
Now the empire is benefiting from this Silk Road, and naturally, this is a benefit that the empire cannot abandon.
At this moment, Wang Wan also spoke, saying, "Your Majesty, what Li Xiang said is that the current empire needs the benefits brought by the Silk Road and is unable to expedition the west, so he can only maintain his relationship with the countries."
"As for how to deal with these countries, I think Dianke is good at it."
"And I, Daqin, have always been in the Central Plains, and I don't know much about the outside world's news. This is an opportunity. Once the Daqin has the ability in the future, it can easily expedition the west."
This era is an era of iron blood, and even the air is filled with gold and iron horses. The civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty have differences in everything, and even dislike each other. However, they never discount wars and expand territory.
Even though the Qin Dynasty had built a vast territory, the imperial civil and military officials did not say much, but accepted it in a disappointing manner.
Because they all knew that war would bring glory to the empire and bring great benefits.
"Your Majesty, I think even if I establish diplomatic relations, my Qin will take the initiative. After all, my majestic Qin and a vast empire are not easily clinged to by some kings outside the territory."
At this moment, Xiao He also spoke: "What's more, not all of the kings are foolish people. Even if they establish diplomatic relations, they must ensure that the technology and interests of the Qin Dynasty cannot be transferred."
"Anyone who can enhance national strength can only be held in the hands of Daqin. This must be supreme."
"Your Majesty, I agree with the remarks of Xiao He and the two prime ministers. Even if our Qin is unable to fight west now and establish diplomatic relations with the kings outside the territory for the safety of the caravan, we must maintain our Qin's absolute suppression of the land outside the territory."
Xiang's eyes were full of murderous intent. Even though he was not an unparalleled general like Xiang Yu, he was born in a family of generals, and his murderous aura and evil aura were not comparable to Xiao He.
Xiang is more powerful than Xiao He.
