Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 316
After the dragon case, Ying Zheng leaned back comfortably in the dragon chair, and looked at the reverent eyes of the officials under the steps looking at him with a sense of satisfaction.

Although Ying Zheng had expected such a result a long time ago, this result could be overturned at any time before that.

Without the support of a conclusion, any conjecture is in vain. Even Ying Zheng himself is not convinced by Zhao Yi's voice, because Ying Zheng's own heart is the same as that of the military commanders in the hall before. They all want to quickly destroy the Fuyu Kingdom. Done.

However, the frontline military newspaper said that the fight against Fuyu might be postponed. Before the snow melted, it was impossible for Daqin to use weapons. Even if Yingzheng wanted to, the officials present would probably not agree.

After all the ministers calmed down, Ying Zheng said: "You must have heard it. It is really unwise to attack Fuyu at this time."

"Judging from the current situation, we can only wait until next spring when the flowers bloom before using weapons against Fuyu."

When Ying Zheng said these words at this time, even Yang Duanhe had nothing to say, so Wang Ben stepped forward slowly and cupped his hands at this time: "Your Majesty is wise, I second the proposal!"

Wang Ben's words were concise and to the point. The No.1 statement of the Great Qin Army set the tone for today's court meeting.

The military generals stopped making noise, and after the civil servants began to talk about domestic affairs, the officials withdrew from the court.

When the civil and military officials came outside the main hall, they suddenly discovered that there were already snowflakes flying in the sky outside the main hall.

"This is...snow, it's really snowing. The first snow this year, it fell so early?"

"It's snowing in Xianyang. One can imagine what the situation in the North will be like. Your Majesty is still wise. Otherwise, if you send troops to help the rest, the consequences will be unimaginable. We will be the sinners of Daqin!"

"It's really thanks to His Majesty. Fortunately, our army already has cotton coats, otherwise the army of the Northland would be at a loss of more than [-]%!"

"There are also coal stoves. Now every household in my Daqin family has coal stoves. I believe that no matter how cold this winter is, it is impossible for many people to freeze to death. These are all thanks to His Majesty and the Crown Prince!"

The ministers were completely convinced, and no one had any objections. Ying Zheng went down to the hall and looked at the snowflakes in the sky, with a dark and inexplicable light shining in his eyes.

"Show the car, go to the Prince's Mansion!" Ying Zheng gave orders to the servants around him, and the servants quickly prepared the car and went straight to the Prince's Mansion.

At today's court meeting, Ying Zheng was able to overcome all opinions, thanks to Zhao Yi, so Ying Zheng wanted to spend more time with Zhao Yi, listen to his voice more, and see if there was anything else to do this winter.

After all, Fuyu can't fight, heavy snow is coming, and the court is just a few simple things, how can this satisfy Yingzheng's ambitions.

But unexpectedly, when Yingzheng arrived at the Prince's Mansion, there was actually a banquet in the Prince's Mansion. Yingzheng took a closer look and found out that it was Xun Zheng who had returned to Xianyang City and brought Xun Miaoke to visit.

Coincidentally, Li Si, Feng Quji and others happened to be in the Prince's Mansion, so Zhao Yi hosted a banquet for everyone, but he didn't expect that Ying Zheng would also come.

Everyone saluted Yingzheng and seated the guests and hosts. After Xunzheng toasted Yingzheng, he suddenly said cheerfully, "Your Majesty, on the way back to the city, Caomin accidentally discovered that the straight road from Xianyang to Jiuyuan is still being repaired!"

"This land transportation is indeed a major national plan, but I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to take action on water transportation?"

When Ying Zhengwen heard Xun Zheng's words, he was taken aback for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he was thinking about Xun Zheng's intention in saying this.

The sphere of influence of the Xun family is not in Shandong, but in the Jiangnan and Lingnan areas. Where there are many waters and rivers, especially the Yangtze River, it is the sphere of influence of the Xun family. Xun Zheng's words should have a deep meaning.

Seeing that Yingzheng didn't answer his question right away, Xun Zheng quickly said, "What the grassroots said is just a superficial opinion. I really think that if your majesty can dredge water transportation and combine land and water, it will bring more generous taxes to the court!"

Hearing Xun Zheng's words, Ying Zheng's eyes relaxed a little. Water transportation and taxes have always been a major source of support for the imperial court, but only in the Yellow River Basin, and the Yangtze River Basin has not been considered. What Xun Zheng said made Ying Zheng quite uncomfortable heartbeat.

Hearing what Xun Zheng said, Li Si suddenly said, "Xun Zheng, you are also the head of the family. In your opinion, if you develop the water transport along the Yangtze River, what kind of benefits will it bring to the court?"

Li Si's words were a bit sharp. Xun Zheng was just raising an issue, and of course it was to find out Ying Zheng's attitude. He didn't expect to be able to settle the matter at the banquet.

But when Li Si asked such a question, Xun Zheng felt a little embarrassed. After all, he is not the head of the Xun family. Even if he is the head of the third house, some things are beyond his control. If he makes random promises and causes trouble, he cannot bear it now affordable.

Of course Xun Zheng didn't dare to promise, but someone knew about it. Before Xun Zheng could answer, Zhao Yi's voice rang in Ying Zheng's mind.

[Li Si is a sand sculpture, how can you ask such a question here?Even if you want to say it, say it in private! 】

[The Yangtze River and the Yellow River are the pillars of the Great Qin Dynasty, but now the Yangtze River Basin is controlled by the Xun family. Even if Xun Zheng wants to join the imperial court, he can't make any promises. It's better to say something practical. 】

[I told you before about overseas colonization, but why has nothing been done about it? Could it be that they are all focused on the country and have forgotten about overseas affairs? 】

[If that’s the case, I’m really disappointed. What are the Yangtze River and the Yellow River? Let alone not all of them are my own. Even if I want to make money, I have to get it from the outside world. It’s definitely a lucrative business! 】

[You all don’t know, right? In this world, the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers are not the longest rivers that flow into the sea. The Amazon River and the Congo River are the longest rivers! 】

[Of course, the Amazon River crosses seven South American countries, and the Congo River crosses seven African countries. Only the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are unique to my Great Qin, which is incomparable to them. 】

When he heard Zhao Yi's heartfelt words, Yingzheng was stunned. He always thought that the Yellow River was longer than the Yangtze River, but just now from Zhao Yi's heartfelt voice, Yingzheng knew that the Yangtze River was the longest. of.

Even so, the Yangtze River is not the longest river in the world, but only the third-ranked river. Above the Yangtze River, there are even longer rivers!

It's just that where are the Congo River and the Amazon River mentioned by Zhao Yi?Where are Africa and South America?Why have you never heard Zhao Yi mention it?

At this time, Xun Zhengqian smiled and said: "I'm sorry that I can't estimate this. I really don't have a complete map of Daqin in my hand. If I have a map, I can explain it in detail to Your Majesty and the Left Prime Minister."
