Chapter 603 Baiyue has been my hometown of China since ancient times.

The Navy returned from sea, ignited Ying Zheng's passion.

He knew in his heart that potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn were more important grain species than Chameng rice. The current Qin Empire yearned not for fineness, but for extensiveness.

The most urgent thing the imperial court needs to solve is the food problem. Only when these three kinds of grains were introduced into the Qin Dynasty could the Qin Empire be able to get rid of hunger from then on.

Only when the people of the Chinese can survive can they be qualified to consider other things. Ying Zheng is a pragmatic person. What he cares about is not how prosperous the Qin Empire is, but the inheritance of China.

Ying Gao knew very well that only the Chinese people could eat and wear warm clothes and not starve to death and be qualified to pursue knowledge and other satisfactions.

There is a saying, "There is enough to know etiquette," and that's exactly what it means.

Only when the four new grain species, sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and Chameng rice were launched, the Qin Dynasty could further liberate the labor force, and the Chinese people would have children with peace of mind, so that the teenagers could be sent to the school palace instead of working in the fields.

Everything starts with food.

The empire was developing in an orderly manner in all aspects, and the Mobei region also began to set up official offices to carry out governance. In the current Daqin, in addition to carrying out various projects and waiting for the arrival of grain, there was a land of Baiyue.

Ying Zheng didn't decide whether to advance the war immediately. After thinking for a long time, Ying Zheng left Zhangtai Palace and looked towards Zhao Gao, saying: "It is said that Wang Jian and Wei Liao entered the palace, and I am waiting for them in the study."

"promise."

Nodding and agreeing, Zhao Gao turned around and left. He keenly realized that Ying Zheng's thoughts were just that Zhao Gao did not say much or disclose it to anyone.

Since Fusu's status has become more and more stable, Zhao Gao's ambitions have been extinguished.

Now Ying Zheng is in good health, Fusu is already the governor of the empire, and now the First Emperor has begun the third generation of Ying Junde. It can be foreseeable that neither Hu Hai nor others will have a chance.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Gao naturally would not take risks. He knew extremely well how sharp the method of the person in Zhangtai Palace was.

He has been by Ying Zheng since he ascended the throne at a young age. Looking at the Qin Dynasty, no one knows Ying Zheng better than him.

That was a ruthless person who could be unscrupulous, and Ying Zheng had the qualifications to be unscrupulous.

Zhao Gao is very obedient now.

Half an hour later, Wang Jian and Wei Liao came together and walked into the study of Xianyang Palace: "Minist Wang Jian, Wei Liao pays homage to Your Majesty, Your Majesty for thousands of years, and the Qin Dynasty for thousands of years."

"You don't have to be too polite to you, two beloved ministers." Ying Zheng signaled the two to take their seats, and the eunuch poured tea for them, and then retreated.

Wei Liao and Wang Jian sat down, then looked at each other, Wang Jian took the lead and spoke, "Your Majesty summoned me, don't you know what instructions?"

Looking at Wang Jian and Wei Liao, Ying Zheng chuckled and said, "The Marquis Tongwu has already sent the news. The navy has returned from the sea and found the grain."

"I have summoned two beloved ministers to make sure that when the grain comes back, the empire will definitely enter the stage of rest and recuperation, thereby increasing the population, promoting the academy, etc."

"What I hesitated in my heart is that regarding Baiyue, the two beloved ministers thought that the empire should attack Baiyue now, or wait until it is cultivated and restored before using troops?"

Ying Zheng did not be too tactful about Wang Jian and Wei Liao, but said it straightforwardly.

An Empire, the only one who lived in the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, was a strategic master. Ying Zheng believed that the two of them had a satisfactory answer to him.

Faced with Ying Zheng's direct inquiry, Wang Jian and Wei Liao did not respond immediately, but took a sip of tea and remained silent.

They are all old ministers, so they naturally know that this move is related to the future of the empire and needs to be considered thoroughly.

Especially war itself has certain harm to the empire. They have all come from the wars all over the sky, and naturally cherish the peaceful life now.

They rushed in the war, killing and wounding countless old Qin people. For the sake of what, wasn’t it just to have the current peace?

After drinking a cup of tea, Wang Jian was overwhelmed by the eunuch. Wang Jian raised his head to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, I think that the empire will go south to destroy Baiyue."

"While the old man who has come from the war years is still there, while the empire is not afraid of war now, I think the war of the Southern Expedition will be carried out now."

Wang Jian's eyes were old, but his concerns were not unreasonable. The most important thing was that it was to wait for grain, education, etc. to promote it one by one. The empire might have a stronger national strength.

However, it will take at least ten years, or even twenty years. During this period, a large number of people will inevitably die, and Fusu can already see that he is a benevolent king.

Instead of handing over the war to Fusu, it is better to resolve it in the lifetime of Emperor Qin Shi’s life.

Wang Jian's words were very tactful, but all the meanings in the words were revealed. At this moment, Wei Liao nodded slightly, bowed to Ying Zheng, and said.

"Your Majesty, I think Wu Chenghou's consideration is correct. Long-term peace will inevitably reduce the combat power of the Qin Ruis, and this cannot be changed."

Wei Liao smiled bitterly and said to Ying Zheng, "Besides, it will take at least ten years to start the war after promoting grain, education, etc. By that time, my ministers and others have already died of old age at home."

"Leaving the Southern Expedition to future generations is an irresponsible manifestation. I think that when the spring of the next year is about to begin, I will fight south while the blood of the imperial soldiers is still there."

"And Your Majesty has also said that the people of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences have also confirmed that the Baiyue land is suitable for planting two-ripe grains a year. Such fertile soil is not something that Baiyue and other barbarians can master."

"Under the world, only I, Daqin, are qualified to have such fertile land."

Speaking of this, Wei Liao stood up and bowed to Ying Zheng, his tone became firm, and said, "Your Majesty, I have searched for ancient books and recorded in an ancient book that the land of Baiyue was once the land of the Central Plains."

"Chyou, one of the three Chinese cultural tribes, lived here. Later, during the reign of King Dayu, there were also written records that the land of Baiyue was the land of my Central Plains..."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng and Wang Jian couldn't help laughing, especially Ying Zheng, who looked at Wei Liao in front of him and couldn't help but smile.

Logically speaking, it was normal for Wang Wan or Li Si to propose this kind of thing, but the result was that the Taiwei of the Great Qin Dynasty proposed it.

"The Taiwei is well-educated and has read countless ancient books over the years. Since it is recorded in ancient books, it is a clear proof."

Ying Zheng stood up from the throne, spoke to Wei Liao and Wang Jian, and said, "Tell the soldiers in the army that Baiyue is the homeland of China. We are not to expand our territory, but to regain our hometown."
