He also saw the strategic significance of the golden eagle. When this thing is really popularized, the execution and reaction ability of the entire Great Wei will rise to a higher level! After talking about the communication and transportation, Yan Ge asked Qiongyi two more questions. economic development strategy.

  Under the rule of the Liang people, although the economic situation of these two places was much better than that of the nomads such as the Xiongnu and Rouran, they were far less than the economic boom of the Great Wei Dynasty in the past few years.

  It can be said that the two islands have such a superior geographical location in vain.

  Fan Li came out and said confidently: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen has drawn up the economic development strategy of Qiongyi Road, mainly including the following points."

  "First of all, we need to migrate the population and cultivate vigorously.

  Qiongyi Island has unique climatic conditions, water and heat races, and rice can be grown three times a year.

  However, the residents of the two places are often faced with food difficulties.

  The reason is that the construction of water conservancy facilities is not perfect, and there is a lack of manpower to cultivate wasteland."

  "The population of Qiongyi Island is over one million, so we don't need to migrate people on a large scale like Lingbei.

  Only by migrating a part of the population from the Yange provinces such as Lingnan Road and Minyue Road to the two islands can provide sufficient labor for land reclamation."

  "After that, the Dushui Supervisor will be responsible for building the facilities to prevent floods during the rainy season, and the agricultural conditions of the two islands will be greatly improved.

  The Si Nong House is responsible for promoting new rice in the two islands, and after three years, there will be two more granaries in our country!"

  “The second is to vigorously develop business.

  The location of the two islands extends in all directions, which is an excellent location for the trade between the three countries.

  personal advantage.”

  "Taking Yizhou as an example, the imperial court could develop and grow special melons and fruits on the island, such as lotus mist, star fruit, lychee, etc. These rare fruits can be used on the table of the inland people.

  As for some wood species in Yizhou, such as Hinoki cypress, Xiaonan, camphor, hemlock, and oleifera, they are also valuable species.”

  "In addition, we must make full use of the offshore advantages of the two islands to vigorously develop fisheries.

  On the one hand, it can solve the food problem, and on the other hand, it can also be sold as a commodity.

  Fresh fish can be trafficked to the coastal areas of the mainland, and dried fish and other products can be trafficked in inland areas.”

  "Yizhou sea salt is even more inexhaustible. We can use Yizhou as a new salt reservoir and establish a sea salt production base on the island to drive local economic development and increase the amount of salt in inland areas. supply, in order to completely solve the problem of insufficient salt transportation in remote areas in the north.”

  "This is the case in Yizhou, and so is Qiongzhou."

  Fan Li talked incessantly, and with his narration, Yan Ge seemed to have seen the future of the two islands prosperous.

  Yan Ge still trusts Fan Li's talent in economic operation.

  "Fan Aiqing, then I can hand over the economic and people's livelihood of Qiong and Yi Erdao to you. Don't let me down."

  "I should do my best and do my best!"

  Fan Li vowed to say.

  At this time, Jiang Ziya came out and said: "I have some thoughts on the garrison of the Great Wei Navy."

  "you say."

  Jiang Ziya said: "Your Majesty, the Nanyang Navy has a strong force, but now that we have newly acquired the Qiongyi Road, we must spread our troops to garrison, so that the Nanyang Navy can only hold on to the South China Sea.

  If Your Majesty's request for territory is limited to this, it will be fine, but if Your Majesty wants to make progress."

  Yan Ge pointed at Jiang Ziya and said, "Grandpa, don't you know what I'm thinking, what I want to accomplish is the great cause of the ages, how can I rest on my laurels!"

  Jiang Taigong nodded: "Since this is the case, what is the future direction of His Majesty's progress?"

  Yan Ge shook his head and said with a smile: "Well, you grandfather, you actually compared me with the test! Okay, then I will analyze it."

  Yan Ge stood up from the dragon chair, took two steps with his hands behind his back, and said, "The direction of Great Wei's progress varies from east to west, north to south."

  "Among them, going north is the first option to be ruled out.

  Just because the Golden Horde in the north is so powerful and far away from the Central Plains, if you want to develop with them, the military expenditure and manpower consumption are incalculable.

  And we are on an expedition, and if we want to win, we must pay a heavy price!"

  "What's more, the bitter and cold land in the north is not as rich as the Central Plains. The imperial court is still too busy to develop the four roads in the north of the mountain. What is the use of the land further north! Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to conquer the Golden Horde."

Chapter 296 A thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh!

  "As for the west side, it is worth talking about.

  The Tibetans in the west have always been at odds with my great Wei, but it is a fence that my great Wei steps on to the west.

  It was good that we didn't take the Western Regions before, but now we have flattened the Western Regions and established the West Road, which just happened to envelop the territory of Tubo from both sides.

  Tubo to the north and east can harass our border."

  "It can be said that Tubo is a thorn in our eyes and a thorn in the flesh! Therefore, if we can take Tubo, it will be of great significance from the perspective of national defense, security and strategy!"

  "After talking about the west, let's talk about the east.

  To the east there are Goguryeo, Dongying: two countries, Dongying: strong and weak, the two countries have similar civilizations and large populations to the Central Plains Dynasty, if they can be included in the territory, it will be a good supplement to our strength."

  "What's more, Dongying's wolf ambitions have often harassed our country's southeastern Yange since ancient times. If it were to pacify Dongying, it would be a threat to our country's coastal defense.

  It's a good thing.”

  "Finally let's talk about the south side.

  The special thing about the south is that we have two directions to choose from.

  If you choose to attack from the sea, your opponents will be the three kingdoms of Sri Lanka, Jieda, and Zawa; if you choose to attack from the land, the first opponent will be Nanyue."

  "Both have their pros and cons.

  If the Three Kingdoms of Nanyang can be conquered from the sea, the Great Wei will be equivalent to controlling the entire Nanyang in his hands, further improving the sea domination of the entire Mengyuan Continent, and it will also greatly facilitate trade with the western countries in Lanyu Continent."

  "But the difficulty lies in the fact that the Nanyang Three Kingdoms have been operating in the South China Sea for a long time. Although there are internal disputes, once they encounter external forces coveted by them, they will always agree to the outside world, forming a monolithic structure, making it difficult to start."

  "On the other hand, if the Nanyue Kingdom can be conquered, the problem of periodic harassment from the Nanyue Kingdom can be solved, and the passage from the south to the central and western parts of Mengyuanzhou can be opened."

  After Yan Ge's methodical analysis, Jiang Ziya nodded slightly.

  After these years of hard work, Yan Ge has changed from the... stunned young man of the past to today's decisive and thoughtful emperor, who judges the situation sharply and is far-reaching.

  "Then, Your Majesty, since east, west, and south have their own advantages and disadvantages, how do you make a choice?"

  Jiang Ziya asked.

  "Tai Gong, I have already said so much, please take care of me next time!"

  Yan Ge said slyly.

  Jiang Ziya smiled slightly, as if he had expected Yan Ge's remarks long ago, he said, "The strategic planning of the country should not only take into account the gains and losses of the moment and the place, but also the overall situation."

  "From the perspective of the overall situation, taking Tibet means that the last buffer zone between me and the Saracen Empire has disappeared.

  The western frontier of our Great Wei and the Saracen Empire will merge with the Saracen Empire."

  "Although we have signed a treaty with Saracen, the reason why the Arabs are willing to negotiate peace with us is only because they are attacked by Persia and Tubo, and they have no intention to provoke Wei again.

  But once the Tibetans are destroyed, we are equivalent to taking their place, which will naturally lead to the hostility of Satan, and then the peace between the two countries will no longer be guaranteed."

  "In this way, to destroy Tubo, but to deal with the more powerful Saracen Empire, isn't it because the sesame seeds and the watermelons are thrown away, so the minister thinks that the way to the west is not advisable."

  Jiang Ziya was really old, and after speaking these words, he had to pause to clear his throat, Yan Ge hurriedly asked Jiang Ziya to give him a seat and serve tea.

  This kind of treatment, only Jiang Taigong, who is the head of the army and has the title of Duke of the county, is eligible to enjoy it.

  Jiang Ziya took a sip of tea and continued: "Similarly, if Nanyue is destroyed, of course we can avoid a major disaster in the south, but in the future we will directly face the Peacock Dynasty, which is many times stronger than Nanyue.

  I, the Great Wei, are now strong in national strength, so naturally I am not afraid of challenges from any country, but as the saying goes, accumulating grain, building high walls, slowly becoming king, and making too many enemies will always be detrimental to the development of the country."

  In fact, when Jiang Ziya's words came to this point, Yan Ge already understood most of what he meant.

  "Then according to the Taigong's opinion, conquering Goryeo and Dongying eastward is our best choice at present."

  Jiang Taigong said: "Your Majesty, this minister believes that this is not only the optimal plan, but also a necessary decision."

  "Oh what's wrong with that"

  Jiang Taigong stroked his beard and smiled: "About Dongying: The question, Xue Liren, the young minister of Honglu Temple, has done a lot of research. He has already discussed it with his ministers, and your Majesty will know by listening to his opinion."

  "Xue Liren, then you can talk about it."

  Xue Liren heard the words and quickly went out: "Your Majesty, General Numata, the shogunate general of the Eastern Ying Kingdom, has already unified the whole island. This man is quite strategic and can be called a hero of a generation. Therefore, Wei Chen believes that the ambition of the wolf son of the Eastern Ying Kingdom will attack me sooner or later. Wei!"

  Chen Lei also came out and said: "Your Majesty, the East Ying Kingdom has been torn apart since ancient times, and Numata Jiangwu was able to unify the whole island with his own strength. It is rumored that all his warriors ignore life and death, like loyal dogs, fighting bravely.

  According to the information collected so far, Dongying has already been eyeing Goryeo, if we do not respond in time, we will wait for Dongying to take Goryeo, and its strength will increase greatly, then it will be a problem to raise tigers!"

  After listening to Xue Liren and Chen Lei's words, Yan Ge realized that the situation in the East China Sea was more severe than he imagined, and he couldn't help thinking.

  Jiang Ziya added: "What the two adults have said is very true, in the background of the rise of the East Ying Kingdom, if we let the situation in the east be ignored.

  If we attack in other directions, once the East Ying Kingdom stabs us in the back, the Great Wei is equivalent to being attacked by the enemy, and will be in a very unfavorable situation."

Chapter 297

  "However, if we attacked Dongying first, the situation would be quite different.

  Dongying: He and Goryeo are the only two countries to the east of the Great Wei Dynasty. If the two countries go further east, there will be an endless ocean. If these two countries can be annexed, the territory in the east of the Great Wei Dynasty will be forever peaceful. This is not Is it the safest course of action?"

  "Conquering Dongying: After that, no matter which direction we will make progress in the future, we will have no worries. In this way, Your Majesty's hegemony can be achieved!"

  Jiang Ziya said.

  After some discussions among the courtiers, Wei's next eastward strategy was basically established, but the specific action plan still needs to be further discussed.

  Xue Liren said: "Your Majesty, the Koryo Kingdom has always been respectful to our Great Wei, and worships it every year. If we forcefully capture it, our behavior will be a bit overbearing, and in the future, I am afraid that other countries will be cut off from our Great Wei. thoughts."

  "But if we don't take Goryeo, we will not be able to easily capture Dongying: and control the East China Sea, so it is necessary to include Goryeo into our territory.

  This puts us in a dilemma."

  Xue Liren's words made Yan Ge ponder, this... Shaoqing of Honglu Temple is indeed a long-term diplomat, and he can see the crux of the problem at a glance.
