world map?

A puzzled look appeared on Ying Zheng's face.

Ying Zheng, who has been with you for many years, is naturally very familiar with the meaning of the map, but Ying Zheng has never heard of this world map.

Especially when Ying Changqing unfolded the world map and looked at the colorful patterns and notes on it, the doubts on Ying Zheng's face suddenly became stronger.

"The world is actually the Great Kyushu."

"My father should have heard that in addition to the small Jiuzhou where my Daqin is located, there is a bigger big Jiuzhou, which is the world that my son just said!"

"This world is far bigger than what I Daqin originally knew, and it is much bigger!"

"Actually, the place we are in is a round planet called the earth. The earth is very vast. Even the vastness of our Qin Dynasty only occupies a small part of it."

"Besides Daqin, there are many countries, the largest of which are even comparable to my Daqin!"

"Even the area of ​​this prairie is not much smaller than today's Daqin!"

Ying Changqing said in a deep voice.

"Is this true?"

Looking at Da Qin, who was just a corner of the map, Ying Zheng's expression changed dramatically.

Ying Changqing smiled lightly.

At this moment, Da Qin, after all, is still in the BC period, and his cognition of the world is extremely simple.

To put it bluntly, apart from the land of the Central Plains, the world in the eyes of the Daqin people is nothing but grassland aliens and barbarian tribes such as Baiyue.

Otherwise, with Ying Zheng's shrewdness and enterprising spirit, he would not have flattened Baiyue in the south and retreated to the Xiongnu in the north.

If Ying Zheng could know how big the world is, it would be long overdue to focus on the longer term.

And it's all up to you to change it.

"Father, the size of this world is indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

"Take this prairie as an example. Although the richness of products is far less than that of the Central Plains, the area is vast, but it is not inferior!"

"My army of Qin and the Great Qin army have been unable to do their best in the previous expeditions to the Xiongnu. It is because of the grasslands that the area is actually much larger than imagined."

"General Meng Tian, ​​even if we can achieve a staged victory, the remnants of the Huns can still flee westward, and my Daqin army cannot catch up with the enemy army, which is full of cavalry, because of the unfamiliarity of life, and it is difficult to supply supplies. After no results, we had to withdraw our troops and return to the division, and we were never able to do everything in one strike."

"And on the vast prairie, there is too much room for nomads to survive. Even if our Daqin can really defeat the Huns, if we can't continue to move westward and completely occupy the prairie, it won't take long before there will be new ones. The tribes developed on the grasslands continue to threaten the security of the Central Plains.”

"It's just like the Quan Rong after the fall of Dongyi, and the Huns after the Quan Rong."

"If you want to completely solve the grassland problem, there is only one way, and that is to take the initiative to attack, occupy all grassland sites, and leave no space for grassland people."

"And this can also bring an advantage, that is, it can turn a million miles of prairie into a horse ranch for my Daqin, and create an invincible cavalry for my Daqin."

Ying Changqing introduced.

"His Royal Highness's knowledge of grasslands is indeed far beyond our imagination, but this also brings up another new problem."

"That's the grassland. It's really too big. Even if I, Daqin, can gather a million troops, I can't completely control every corner, not to mention that everyone in the grassland is good at horses. I am above the Qin army."

"It doesn't take three years and five years, the money that your Highness finally raised will be completely exhausted!"

"At that time, my Daqin can only choose to withdraw from the prairie and return to the Great Wall!"

Summoned by Ying Zheng, Meng Yi, who had just entered the hall, frowned and said.

Ying Zheng also nodded in agreement.

With his character, he naturally prefers attacking rather than defending, but the helpless prairie is beyond imagination, and the Qin Empire is actually a bit too much to eat.

Can we only cancel the offensive plan and go back to the old path of passive defense of the Great Wall?

"If I wanted to completely pacify and occupy the entire prairie with my previous strength in Daqin, I really couldn't do it, but now it's different."

"My son went out this time and accidentally found several kinds of artifact crops. Not only is the land adaptable, it can be planted in dry land and mountains, and its output far exceeds the crops such as rice and other crops currently planted in Daqin!"

"And it's not [-]% or [-]%, but [-] times the start!"

"Once these new crops are popularized, will I, Daqin, worry about lack of food?"

Ying Zheng and the others were completely stunned.

You must know that the crops in Daqin today are actually very monotonous.

The staple food crops are only five grains, namely rice, millet (corn), millet (millet), wheat, and Shun (bean).

The output is even more pitifully low. One mu of land has worked hard for a year, and the final harvest is only two or three hundred catties.

Now I hear Ying Changqing say that there are several new crops that can directly increase tenfold in yield per mu, how can you not be shocked?

If it weren't for Ying Changqing's very serious face and many miracles ahead, Ying Zheng and others would almost have thought that Ying Changqing was talking nonsense.

"These crops, my son has already ordered people to start planting them in the backyard of the son's mansion and the selected land, and they will be taken care of by special personnel. The first batch of crops can be harvested in one and a half months at most. At that time, the royal father will go there in person. Witnessing, you will understand that what Erchen said is true."

Ying Changqing smiled slightly and said, "With these new crops, not only will the food and grass needed to conquer the Huns not be a problem at all, but the people of Qin will no longer have to worry about their food."

"At that time, the goal of my Daqin will no longer be just a prairie, but the whole world!"

"My son's greatest wish is to let the whole world be the territory of my Great Qin!"

Ying Zheng and Meng Yi were once again shocked.

Chapter [-] Conquering the world, the first emperor's ambition!

"Besides Daqin, there is actually such a vast world!"

After a long time, Ying Zheng came back to his senses, and there was more enterprising spirit in his eyes.

To be honest, since the unification of the six countries, the establishment of the Great Qin Empire, and the completion of an unprecedented feat, His Majesty the First Emperor began to lose sight of his goals.

Although there are still two major goals, the Xiongnu and Baiyue, one north and one south, but the size of the two is not comparable to that of the Da Qin in the previous perception, and it cannot fully ignite Ying Zheng's enterprising spirit.

However, now, the world map and the wider world brought by Ying Changqing have completely inspired the first emperor's long-silent conquest of Yuwang.

"Besides Daqin, there are not only many countries, but the largest of them are not much inferior to Daqin."

Seeing the fighting intent in the eyes of the First Emperor, Ying Changqing knew that his goal had been achieved, and immediately pointed south along the prairie on the map, pointing to the Peacock Dynasty, which was only one mountain away from Daqin!

"Father, please see!"

"This is a huge country!"

"Although the national strength is not as good, in terms of geographical area, such as today's Daqin, it even exceeds it!"

"This is the Peacock Dynasty!"

Ying Changqing introduced.

Peacock Dynasty?

Ying Zheng's eyes widened, his whole body shaking.

In a place so close to Daqin, how could there be such a huge country?

But before, I didn't know it at all!

Ying Zheng's ambition to dominate the world was instantly ignited.

Ying Changqing smiled lightly.

Although the Himalayas on the top of the world have played a role in natural danger for many times, they have also isolated Daqin from the Western Regions.

At this moment, Da Qin and the Peacock Dynasty are only less than a thousand miles away in a straight line, but they don't know each other's existence.

"This Peacock Dynasty not only has a vast territory, but also has a population that exceeds it. At its peak, it directly exceeded [-] million!"

Ying Changqing continued to introduce.

"what?"

Meng Yi stood up in disbelief and said, "What kind of peacock country, how could there be so many people?"

"You must know that I, the Great Qin, unified the six countries, and took all the fertile land in the Central Plains. After several years of recuperation, the total population now is only close to [-] million!"

Ying Zheng's expression changed greatly, his eyes fixed on Ying Changqing.

In these years, population means productivity and military reserve force, it means the amount of strength!

If the territorial comparison only made Ying Zheng vigilant, then the population gap made Ying Zheng unable to bear it.

"The reason is actually very simple!"

"Although the Daqin region is large, except for the Central Plains region, the rest of the region is mostly mountainous and Gobi grasslands that are difficult to develop."

"And this Peacock Dynasty, the territory is almost all plains, all of which are the most fertile and rich, comparable to the best paddy fields in the Chuyue region!"

"The rice they have there can be grown for two or even three seasons a year!"

"One mu of land can easily support a population equivalent to several mu of land in Guanzhong!"

"What's more, before the father emperor unified the six countries, the Central Plains region had been fighting for hundreds of years, and the population was less than [-]% of the heyday!"

"And the Peacock Dynasty happened to have a relatively peaceful time!"

"Between an increase and a decrease, it is not surprising that the population of my Daqin was overtaken by the Peacock Dynasty."

Ying Zheng nodded. As an emperor, he has always attached great importance to production and construction and stable internal affairs.

Naturally, we understand that there are huge gaps in productivity between different regions.

The former state of Chu was able to rise from the land of the southern barbarians that no one cared about to become one of the five hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period, relying on the fertile water and soil and the nourished population.

This is also the reason why Ying Zheng spent a lot of manpower and material resources to pacify Baiyue.

If Baiyue is unstable, Chu will not be able to have a stable living environment.

Even if stability cannot be guaranteed, how can we expand production, how can we develop more fertile land and grow more food?

"However, the size of the population can only mean potential, not everything!"
