My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Lu Buwei's question extinguished the enthusiasm of the Qin emperor and his ministers.

Not to mention the expedition to Yingzhou, one of the important reasons why the Qin Dynasty suffered a great defeat in its first southern expedition to Baiyue in history was the poor transportation of food and fodder!

It was not until the Qin Dynasty built the Lingqu Canal and transported food and medicinal materials to the Baiyue front by water that the Qin army finally broke free from the quagmire and moved forward again.

This is just the Baiyue land in the Red Country of China, not to mention the other eight distant states!

With the efficiency and cost of transporting grain and fodder in the Qin Dynasty today, the Qin Dynasty cannot even transport grain and fodder to Rongzhou, which is adjacent to the Qin Dynasty, because the corvées and livestock responsible for transporting grain also need to eat. Before the grain and fodder supplied to the front line is transported to the front line, it will be eaten up by the corvées and livestock responsible for transportation!

Yingzhou is beautiful and a treasure bestowed by heaven.

But the road to Yingzhou alone is full of difficulties and obstacles, not to mention the enemy countries and enemies encountered along the way.

All the ministers racked their brains and thought seriously.

After a dozen breaths, Wei Liao was the first to stand up and ask, "May I ask Lord Chang'an, in addition to bestowing the Great Nine Continents Kunyu Tu, has the Emperor of Heaven and Earth informed us of the cultural customs, national strength and military strength of the other eight continents?"

Hearing Wei Liao's question, the Qin emperor and his ministers all looked at Ying Chengjiao.

This question is directly related to how they prepare for war!

Ying Chengjiao said cautiously: "No."

"The Emperor of Heaven and Earth only praised the strength of our Great Qin, thinking that our Great Qin had the ability to unify the Great Nine Provinces on behalf of the Emperor of Heaven and Earth!"

Ying Chengjiao also had some knowledge of the history of other countries, but he was unwilling to speak about it.

This was not because Ying Chengjiao was stingy, nor was it out of consideration for subsequent impacts. It was simply because Ying Chengjiao was completely unable to judge whether the history of other countries he knew was real or fabricated.

If his understanding is true, it would be fine, as Daqin could anticipate the enemy and take the initiative. But if his understanding is false, it would inevitably lead to irreparable and disastrous consequences!

Wei Liao nodded slowly: "Does the Emperor of Heaven and Earth think that our Great Qin has the ability to unify the Great Nine Provinces on behalf of the Emperor of Heaven and Earth?"

"From this we can see that the king's merits and virtues are highly trusted by the emperor. It can also be seen that although the territory of our Great Qin is small, its national strength and people's hearts are not too inferior to those of the Great Nine Provinces. It can also be seen that the destiny is with my Great Qin!"

Wei Liao then changed the subject and said, "Of course, even a lion needs all its strength to fight a rabbit, not to mention that our Great Qin wants to accomplish what the Three Sovereigns, Five Emperors and Three Kings have never accomplished!"

"I advise that we recruit all the sorcerers from all over the world to join the Great Qin Military Academy and specialize in foreign language training. When they have completed their studies, they will be sent to the eight major states of the world to explore the strengths and weaknesses of the Great Nine States for our Great Qin."

"In this way, when the Great Qin wants to send troops, we will know ourselves and the enemy, and we will be able to fight a hundred battles without danger!"

Ying Zheng turned his gaze to Ying Chengjiao and asked, "What do you think, my brother?"

Ying Chengjiao said without hesitation: "I think it's inappropriate!"

"The Great Qin Military Academy is a top school that trains pillars for our Great Qin. It will teach many of our Great Qin's top military strategies and skills."

"The sorcerers are to travel to all directions to explore the world and retrieve the treasures for our Great Qin. They don't need to march to the frontier or govern the country, and they will never serve in the Qin government."

"If we allow alchemists to study at the Great Qin Military Academy, it will undoubtedly be a waste of the academy's teaching resources. If some alchemists travel far away to foreign lands and then betray the Great Qin and degenerate, it will cause our Great Qin skills to be stolen by the enemy country!"

"That's why I advise you!"

"We will build another school next to Xianyang City to teach foreign languages, wilderness survival, business, negotiation and other skills. We will also teach loyalty to the emperor and patriotism to calm their hearts. This is to train alchemists for our Great Qin!"

A sorcerer would travel tens of thousands of miles and might die on the way. The Qin Dynasty was completely unable to prevent a sorcerer from defecting to the enemy country due to fear of the hardships of the journey, or even selling the Qin Dynasty's technology to the enemy country in exchange for benefits, and then returning to the Qin Dynasty as if nothing had happened to receive a reward and live out his life in peace.

Therefore, in Ying Chengjiao's opinion, all the magicians sent abroad had better not understand military strategies, government, farming, and even less the art of craftsmanship, otherwise they would be aiding the enemy!

Ying Zheng thought about it and nodded, "Okay!"

"Pass on my order!"

"We will build a school in the west of Xianyang City. It will be called the Foreign Envoy School and will be dedicated to teaching alchemists!"

"The matter of the foreign envoys will be handled by my brother, and all the three dukes and nine ministers should assist."

"When the alchemists have completed their studies, we will accept the advice of the state commander and order them to explore the vastness of the Nine Provinces in all directions of the world!"

Ying Chengjiao's eyes widened, but he didn't argue in the end. He just sighed helplessly: "Yes!"

There is no way, because Ying Chengjiao was the first person in Qin to pay attention to the foreign languages ​​of the barbarians and teach them foreign languages ​​on a large scale.

In today's Qin Dynasty, almost all the people who understand the barbarian languages ​​are under Ying Chengjiao's command. Ying Chengjiao cannot refuse this job at all!

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Wei Liao happily bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

"I will advise you again!"

"While training the alchemists and waiting for them to send back the detailed Kunyu map and the humanities and national strength of the Nine Provinces, we should first improve the internal affairs of the Qin Dynasty."

"Once our Great Qin has explored the strengths and weaknesses of the Great Nine Provinces, we will build ditches along the water to the west and south, take advantage of the river system, and use the width of our Great Qin barges to transport food and grass to the front line for our Great Qin, and rely on the rivers to formulate marching strategies!"

"As for Yingzhou, Xuanzhou and other states east of the East China Sea, Lord Chang'an has already given a good plan."

Wei Liao smiled at Ying Chengjiao and said, "I was confused before, why Chang'an Jun wanted to suppress the ancient Qi area, but still built many docks in the ancient Qi area and dried a lot of wood in the shade."

"Now that the Great Nine Provinces Kunyu Map has appeared, I have just learned that all that wood can be used to build large ships for our Great Qin to conquer Yingzhou!"

Ying Zheng's eyes showed interest, but Lu Buwei refuted him: "What you said is absurd!"

"Let's not talk about whether the ships built by the Great Qin today can carry our Great Qin soldiers across the ocean to conquer Yingzhou. Just to build the ditches to the west and south, how much manpower will be needed?"

Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zheng and said sincerely: "The world has endured three hundred years of war!"

"People in the world don't care whether there are only small Kyushu or big Kyushu in the world. People in the world just want leniency, reprieves, and rest and recuperation!"

“This is what the people want!”

"Only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world. If the king does not give the people a chance to rest and instead immediately sends troops to attack the eight states, the people will surely turn against him!"

"By then, not only will it be difficult for our Great Qin to unify the nine provinces for the sake of the Emperor's land, but it will even be difficult to protect our Great Qin!"
