In the matter of selling the mansion, the money comes in too easily and too quickly.

In just over two months, the philistine Cao collected more than 470 million yuan in money and more than 170 million shi of grain.

It is almost catching up with Qin's annual fiscal revenue.

And this is only the first withdrawal of funds.

More money and food are on the way to Chang'an.

Central Shu, Western Regions, Central Plains... Jiangdong is far away, with checkpoints everywhere, at least.

"If father builds more cities, wouldn't the money and food be endless?" Yang Xu was very excited.

Yang Zheng frowned, often things that are too easy and too fast have negative effects.

Taking it out occasionally can stimulate the economy and strengthen the country's strength, but if it is addicted to it, Qin will only use a bamboo basket to draw water in vain.

"Wealth is not obtained out of thin air, but the food in the field, the livestock on the pasture, the cloth on the plane, and the swords and spears and armor on the soldiers. Without these, why should Daxing sell such a high-priced mansion? As a king, when Focus on the great way, rather than being obsessed with small techniques, small techniques can be used occasionally, but they can't be done regularly." Yang Zheng tried to make it clear.

If you don't farm or train your troops these days, you're looking for death.

"I seem to understand." Yang Xu seemed to understand.

The truth is simple to explain, but how much the listener can comprehend is another matter.

What's more, Yang Zheng felt that he didn't explain clearly.

The economy is full of complexities, and it is difficult to explain clearly in just a few words.

"I will arrange a task for you, follow Suo Jing to resettle the people, watch more, listen more, think more."

"Your servant obeys the order!" Yang Xu beamed with joy when he heard that he didn't have to go back to the palace.

It is normal for children of this age to yearn for the outside world.

Deliberately suppressing human nature is counterproductive.

With Suo Jing's conduct, it is of course no problem to teach the prince.

Now that we have money, we have food.

The time to start the war has been greatly advanced.

However, Sima Yan is not without the power to fight, the money is enough to maintain the early stage of the war.

However, other uncontrollable factors on the battlefield must also be considered.

There are also accepted people, refugees and so on.

The most important thing is that in the war between Qin and Jin, Zhong Hui will definitely not remain indifferent in Jiangdong.

With his personality, forbearance for so long is nothing more than just reaping profit.

Therefore, the Qin army must be prepared to fight on two fronts.

Selling mansions can only be used for temporary needs, and it is false. The real national power lies in the soldiers and the people.

Daxing's mansion can be sold, in the final analysis, it is the general trend of the world created by Daqin, and it is the confidence of people in the world in Daqin.

The reclamation in Hedong, Hongnong, and Nanyang is already in full swing.

With Du Yu and Ma Long sitting in charge, the problem would not be too big. Both of them are capable of both civil and military skills, capable of commanding the army and governing the people.

There is no need to worry about the affairs of the three counties.

However, Yang Zheng always felt that the potential of Guanzhong and Shuzhong had not been fully realized.

From the end of the Han Dynasty to the present, natural disasters and man-made disasters have broken out here, and people cannibalize each other at every turn, and the economy of Guanzhong has been completely destroyed.

Many canals have not been dredged all year round and gradually become silted up.

"I'm going to dredge the channel in Guanzhong." Yang Zheng consulted with Lu Zhi.

There is money and food in the treasury, and lying down is lying down.

Why not take it out now.

Of course Lu Zhi agreed, "Guanzhong is known as the land of abundance, but the canals have been in disrepair for a long time and irrigation is not effective. A large number of upper fields have been reduced to middle fields, and middle fields have been reduced to lower fields. Your Majesty's move will benefit the people and have far-reaching significance."

In fact, Yang Zheng also wanted to build a Guangtong Canal from Daxing to Tongguan to divert water from the Yellow River to irrigate Guanzhong.

The total length is more than three hundred miles.

However, the amount of this project is too large, comparable to that of Zheng Guoqu.

In order to build the Zhengguo Canal, Qin State delayed at least ten years to unify the world.

Yang Zheng didn't have that time.

If Sima Yan was out of breath, it would take longer.

"This matter is left to the ministers. Now that the farming season is slack, the people can also contribute. Before the autumn harvest, work will be temporarily suspended. After the autumn harvest, it will continue. Before next year's spring plowing, it should be possible to get things done."

"Then there is Uncle Law."

In addition to Guanzhong, Sili also has Hanzhong, Henan, and Beidi counties.

Needless to say in Hanzhong, at the end of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Lu managed this place, with [-] households. Zhang Lu relied on the land of a county to suppress Liu Zhang and his son.

At the time of the big immigration, Hanzhong was also enriched.

The past few years have been fruitful, and 70 million shi of grain can be transported to Guanzhong every year.

Yang Zheng was concerned about Henan and Beidi counties.

In history, Helian was vigorous and Dangxiang successively established a country here, and the water and soil were extremely fertile.

Yang Zheng led his personal guards to the north to inspect these areas.

After Liu Yuan's fall, the Huns in Henan surrendered one after another, and almost all of them were wiped out in the years that they didn't surrender.

On both sides of the Wuding River,
This piece of land was originally owned by Yiqu and the Huns, and was later occupied by the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Two years ago, Yang Zheng set this place as a no-man's land. Without excessive grazing, the benefits appeared. The green grass covered the sky, and the summer wind blew in, exposing the wild deer and gazelle.

From Wuding River to Dijinze, the water network is densely covered. In midsummer, people have a feeling of stepping into a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Another pasture can be opened here." Green mountains and green waters are golden mountains and silver mountains.

"Your Majesty, why don't you build a city here, like Shuofang County?" Pang Qing suggested.

As an ancient man, he was not as far-sighted as Yang Zheng.

The reason why the environment in Guanzhong has become worse and worse in later generations is actually because of the over-development of the Loess Plateau in the north, resulting in soil erosion.

Especially in the Tang Dynasty, the ethnic groups from Mobei and Qiang lands were moved here at every turn, and the grasslands were deserted due to excessive grazing.

"This place is the heart of Guanzhong. Once the city is built, the grassland will turn into a desert in a few decades."

"Your Majesty is far-sighted." Pang Qing complimented, but judging from his expression, he didn't take it seriously.

Some things should not only be concerned with the present, but also for the benefit of future generations.

If Guanzhong weakens, it will weaken its control over Mobei, the Western Regions, and the plateau.

The influence of the Han people may be blocked in the Kanto.

This is unacceptable to Yang Zheng.

In his lifetime, he also wanted to bring the Western Regions into the circle of Han civilization.

"The ranch was established for three years, and after the whole country is unified, it will be cancelled, cultivated for three years, and then re-established." Yang Zheng felt that a set of rules should be formulated and a rotational grazing system should be adopted.

As for the population, more people can migrate to Nanzhong, Hequ, Western Regions and other places in the future.

Further east, entering Beidi County, one village after another.

The herdsmen are also wearing Hanfu, and the sound of reading can be vaguely heard.

Yang Zheng was very pleased.

So many years of hard work have not been in vain. As long as I am alive, in another 20 years, when these children grow up, they will truly integrate into the embrace of Huaxia.

The land in Beidi County is more fertile than that in Henan. Helan Mountain and Yin Mountain block the wind and sand in Moxi and Mobei respectively.

After Yang Zheng's rise, the most important areas were Wuwei, Beidi, and Shuofang.

Now the land is full of cattle, sheep and plowed fields.

"Who is the prefect of the Northland?" It is not a small skill to be able to manage the barren land into a paradise for the Han family.

Pang Qing took out the notebook and flipped through it, "Yang Yao."

"It turned out to be him, which is not surprising."
