Daqin: After marrying a vegetative princess, I went crazy with joy

Chapter 277 Double Cropping Rice

No matter which dynasty, no matter when, wars are all about logistics.

In the battle with Lingnan, besides the epidemic, the most casualty of the Qin army was hunger.

Naturally, the local people would not bring out food for them to eat, and the food road was cut off by a surprise attack by the Ba Luo army.

Now the first thing to solve is the issue of food transportation.

Ying Zheng naturally understood the importance of this matter, and at the same time knew that there was a fairy behind Liu Bai.

Therefore, when Li Si asked, he interrupted his words, and believed in what Liu Bai said.

As he said, the most important area in the Lingnan region is now in the hands of the Qin army, so there is no need to rush eastward.

Although the Bau Luo army killed Tu Sui, they also suffered heavy losses.

Instead, you can consider Liu Bai's proposal to let the army stabilize first.

At the same time, the Lingqu canal was dug, and in the future, the waterway would transport grain and attack westward.

Although Li Si didn't get the answer he wanted, he thought of it with Ying Zheng.

But in this way, another problem was involved.

"My son-in-law, it is not difficult to establish a government in Lingnan, but the difficulty is how to let the local people accept the rule of the Great Qin..."

"If this problem is not resolved, even if we have occupied their land, the people will not obey, so what if there are rebellions everywhere?
"After all, we are not familiar with the local terrain. If they hide in the forest, there is nothing we can do..."

Liu Bai chuckled and looked at Li Si.

"Isn't the prime minister already used to this matter, so why ask me?"

Looking at him suspiciously, Li Si was a little puzzled.

Taking a sneak peek at Ying Zheng, he was relieved to see that he didn't respond.

What do you mean I'm used to it?
Anything that I, Li Si, do is carried out only with His Majesty's consent.

Moreover, he has never done anything about attacking Lingnan!

Seeing his appearance, Liu Bai said with a smile.

"Since it took so much effort to conquer Lingnan, it is natural to let him be ruled by my Great Qin. Whether it is economy, culture or other things, the land of Lingnan is far behind."

"To conquer a tribe, the first thing is to unify their culture. We can send people to teach me the culture of the Central Plains, teach them farming, medical skills, education, etc., and then allow willing soldiers to intermarry with the local people...

"After a hundred years, what Lingnan and Central Plains will still be divided, won't they all become the people of my Great Qin?"

Li Si's eyes suddenly lit up, why didn't he think of it?
Didn't His Majesty also move a lot of immigrants to those counties with a small population?

"What the son-in-law said is very true. At that time, people who are willing can be moved there, but I don't know if they can adapt to the local climate?"

Liu Bai looked at Li Si and smiled mysteriously.

"Li Xiang knows that the rice planted in Lingnan can be ripened twice or even three times a year, and the people who are willing to move there will be exempted from taxes for a few years. Is it afraid that no one will go?"

"Not only farmers, but also coastal fishermen can move there. Don't worry, as long as the policy keeps up, someone will go there..."

After finishing speaking, Liu Bai felt a little dry mouth, so he lowered his head and drank tea.

After waiting for a long time, Li Si didn't see a word. When he looked up, he and Meng Yi were staring at him dumbfounded.

Touching his own face inexplicably, Liu Bai asked in a daze.

"Why are you looking at me like this? Is there a flower on my face?"

In a word, the two people who were in a daze were awakened.

After trying to understand what he was talking about, Li Si kept complaining in his heart.

I wouldn't be so surprised if you had flowers on your face.

On the contrary, it is the rice that you said was ripe two or three times a year, is it true?

Just about to ask, but was interrupted by Meng Yi.

"The son-in-law is serious? I have never heard of it, but there is such a miracle in Lingnan..."

Liu Bai rolled his eyes.

Although he doesn't know if people in Lingnan are planting double-cropping rice now, even if they do, they can't tell you!
"Master Meng, don't worry, you can see it when you plant it!"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng immediately made a decision.

"Since this is the case, then first order the army to station in Lingnan and establish a government office, and discuss the rest after a year!"

"promise!"

Although Ying Zheng said so, Li Simengyi understood that His Majesty agreed with the son-in-law's suggestion.

It's just that it's the New Year's Eve, so it's delayed.

Meng Yi, in particular, had a better understanding of Liu Bai, and at the same time became a little more curious about him.

When you are free, you must get to know this son-in-law well.

After mentioning the year, Liu Bai suddenly thought of the China Merchants Association.

"Father, Li Xiang told Cheng that those rich businessmen have already registered properly, and they wanted to hold a business promotion meeting in the next year..."

"Now that we have decided to establish a government office in Lingnan, it is better to add another road from the Central Plains to Lingnan. This matter will be done a year ago, and construction will start in the next year...

"In this way, even if the people of Lingnan change, we can send troops to reinforce them in time. I don't know what the father wants?"

It doesn't mean you are talking, Li Sidang replied first.

"My son-in-law, I'm afraid it will be too late a year ago. Even if those rich merchants leave now, they will not be able to reach Xianyang a year ago, and they will not be able to catch up with the China Merchants Association..."

Liu Bai was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, since that's the case, we can only talk about it after a year.

"Let's talk about this after a year!"

Ying Zheng also wanted to make the affairs of all parties progress faster, but even if those wealthy businessmen arrived in Xianyang a few years ago, the China Merchants Association might not have time to deal with them.

After all, for Daqin, the New Year's Eve is a very important thing.

Now that His Majesty has made a decision, the three of them will naturally have no objections.

After everything was agreed, the three of them bid farewell to Ying Zheng and walked outside the palace.

Along the way, Li Si and Meng Yi followed behind him, looking at him constantly.

It's just that the meaning in that gaze is slightly different.

Meng Yi was purely curious, but the faith in Li Si's heart was slowly collapsing.

He thought for a long time just now, not only him, but His Majesty also knew very well that Liu Bai had never been to Lingnan at all.

But His Majesty not only interrupted him, but also chose to believe Liu Bai without hesitation.

Could it be that there is really a fairy behind him, otherwise how should so many things be explained?

At the beginning of the pill, then potatoes, smallpox, and now tell the matter of Lingnan out of thin air...

One by one, he said that there was no so-called god behind him, and Li Si couldn't convince himself.

But if you let him believe it, he always feels a little absurd.

From the beginning to the end, he never thought that there were immortals in this world.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke if he tried his best to climb up like this?
But how to explain what happened to Liu Bai?
In such a strange atmosphere, the three of them finally walked outside the palace.

After returning the greetings from the two, Liu Bai turned around and walked up the mountain.

He has to go back quickly and get things done about Han Xin first.

At the same time, I have to ask Qin Mu if his legs are suitable for long journeys...
