Chapter 385 New Year's resolutions
Although Li Yang did not explain the military strength of the Great Xia Kingdom and the Mauryan Dynasty, he clearly opposed the act of rushing to expand territory and expand territory. He also advised: "It is easy to open the territory, but it is difficult to defend the territory. Wait until the Western Regions are unified, the Great Qin territory is the East Sea, the South Sea to the South Sea to the South, the West to the extreme, the desert to the extreme, and the four directions of the Great Qin are all barriers. If you open the border further out, it will not be Yanhuang."
"Once the great Qin tribe is complicated, the great Qin no longer refers to the great Qin of the Chinese nation. As the saying goes, if it is not our tribe, its heart will be different. In the end, the great Qin will be in chaos and will not last long!"
"So, if you have the land of China, unify the descendants of Yan and Huang, enrich the country and strengthen the people, then the Qin Dynasty can last for thousands of years. Because as long as the Chinese nation still exists in this world, the Qin Dynasty will always exist in this world." Li Yang expressed his thoughts.
These words made everyone in Qilin Palace fall into deep thought.
There was a moment of silence in the hall.
Because Li Yang's words are a topic that everyone has never thought about or thought about.
After careful consideration, everyone showed a sudden awakening.
Yes, the Qin Dynasty can unify the Huns, Donghu, Sushen, and Yu, and can rule Baiyue, and even go to the Western Regions. The reason is that everyone regards themselves as descendants of Yan and Huang.
If you want to unify Central Asia and unify a more distant world, the people there will not only be different races, skin colors and beliefs. Even if the Qin Dynasty unified the world, who would regard themselves as Qin people in this world?
More importantly, once the Qin Dynasty included races of different skin colors, the Qin Dynasty would no longer represent China, and the Qin Dynasty would only become the name of an empire.
An empire that cannot unify thoughts, national consciousness, and has no sense of identity will sooner or later fall apart.
By then, Qin will be in chaos.
If the Qin Dynasty owns the land of China and unifies the descendants of Yan and Huang, then the situation will be completely different.
China is unified in the region, and its thoughts and national consciousness are unified, and every Chinese has a sense of identity. In this way, the Great Qin is the motherland of all the descendants of Yan and Huang. In other words, the name of the Great Qin symbolizes the Chinese nation!
As long as the Chinese nation is still there, the Qin Dynasty will be there, for thousands of years and eternal immortality.
After thinking through all this, everyone bowed deeply to Li Yang and said, "The king of Zhenguo is far-sighted, and we have received the teachings!"
Fusu also realized that the races of the Qin Dynasty could not be mixed, and the Qin Dynasty could only be the Great Qin of the Chinese nation, so he bowed to Li Yang: "The students must keep it in mind for the teachings of the Grand Tutor!"
Li Yang nodded with satisfaction. As long as he could unify the entire Western Regions, for the Qin Dynasty, it would be equivalent to laying the territory of the Chinese nation.
Next, what the Chinese nation needs to do is unite, guard the country, unite as one, help and love each other, and strive for self-improvement. Don’t be repeatedly invaded by foreign races like the original history, and don’t be repeatedly insulted by foreign races like the original history, but should stand in this world as a strong man.
Of course, all of this is Li Yang's ideal. As for whether it will be as he wishes, he himself doesn't know. The only thing he can do is to work hard towards this goal.
In the original history, the Chinese nation was repeatedly invaded by nomadic peoples. Every time foreign invasion, the Chinese nation was full of corpses and no one was in a thousand miles away. For example, the Five Barbarians invaded China, Kublai Khan went south to Jianyuan, and the Eight Banners of Huang Taiji entered the pass...
Now, Li Yang has unified all the nomadic peoples such as the Xiongnu, Donghu, and incorporated them into the Great Qin. More importantly, at this time, the Great Qin and these nomadic tribes did not subdivided their ethnic groups due to different customs, but instead regarded themselves as the descendants of Yan and Huang, and jointly regarded themselves as the Huaxia people.
In this way, the Five Barbarians invaded China in history, the massacre of going south to Jianyuan, and the massacre of Huang Taiji entering the pass. Because everyone is the Huaxia tribe, even if the dynasties change, there is no need to massacre the so-called "Han people" in order to balance the population and facilitate rule, just like in the original history.
Because today's Chinese nations will no longer separate from each other.
Without the invasion and massacre of nomadic peoples, Li Yang believes that the Chinese nation will definitely be stronger and more prosperous than the Chinese in history!
It would be even better if we could live in Asia, command the world and dominate the world, and stand firm for thousands of years.
In the Qilin Hall, everyone was discussing the thousand-year plan of the Qin Dynasty and the Chinese nation. This New Year's Eve of the 11th AD passed quietly...
On this New Year's Eve, bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, Daqin determined the direction of his future struggle.
The territory of the Qin Dynasty will stop in the Western Regions and will no longer rush to expand and open up the border, but will focus on enriching the country and strengthening the people. We will vigorously develop handicrafts, strive to build a commercial society, and achieve the prosperity of the Chinese nation.
At the same time, open up the sea and trade channels as soon as possible, use trade as the main means and powerful military power as the auxiliary means to build the Qin banknotes into international trade settlement currency. With the hegemony of Qin coins, we can achieve the ultimate goal of controlling global resources and wealth, leading the world economy, ruling the world order, and achieving the ultimate goal of being in Asia and commanding the world!
This... is also the hegemony path that is most suitable for the Qin Dynasty!
This kind of hegemony is the most advanced and brightest. For the Chinese nation, it is also the most lasting and sustainable path of hegemony.
Of course, in addition to the long-term plan of Daqin, Li Yang also proposed a plan for the new year.
For example, farmers are encouraged to raise silkworms, plant mulberry trees, and vigorously develop the textile industry, especially silk. At the same time, vigorously develop the glass industry.
In the new year, once the international trade channel is opened, silk and glass crafts will be the main commodities of Daqin's international trade, and they will also be luxury goods. (PS: During the Qin Dynasty, there was silk.)
In addition, Li Yang also suggested that in the new year, farmers were encouraged to plant sugarcane in large quantities, and sugarcane could be made into candy, and it was sold to nobles from all over the world as a luxury product. (Sugarcane was planted in southern China around the Zhou Dynasty, and the "Zhe" in the pre-Qin era was sugarcane.,)
To sum up, it is to use luxury goods as the main export commodity to make money from foreigners. Only in this way can there be huge profit margins.
In addition, Li Yang has a bold plan.
That is, after the construction of the flying scissors at the shipyard is completed, the Qin army went to sea to Shaohao to meet with Qin Shihuang, and prepared to let Qin Shihuang and others build America into the "farm" of the Qin Dynasty.
Because there are so many varieties of crops in the Americas, it can be said that there are many varieties. There are corn, sweet potato, jaccato, potato, cassava, pumpkin, peanut, sunflower, pepper, tomato, lima bean, western apple, pineapple, sour, guava, pear, cashew, cocoa, American ginseng, papaya, onion cotton, tobacco, etc., in short, there are countless varieties. In particular, the introduction of high-yield crops such as sweet potato, potato, corn, and pumpkin directly stimulated the great development of the population of China's Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Therefore, America is the farm of Daqin, it is simply suitable.
In addition, the American population at this time was not large, which was conducive to rule.
Moreover, it is worth mentioning that historical records show that there are tens of millions of northern bisons in the Americas! Therefore, in addition to planting in the Americas, North American bisons can also be domesticated and built into a pastoral land.
In short, Daqin is the farmer of this "farm" in the Americas. It allowed the natives of the Americas to plant and live in the Daqin.
Of course, in terms of planting, in addition to planting basic food, Li Yang also has a crazier idea, that is, to grow large amounts of tobacco in the Americas.
As a time traveler, Li Yang knew too much about Yanchuang's huge profits.
The profit of Yanchuang Corporation in later generations exceeded one trillion yuan in a year. What does it mean? Its one directly challenged the four major banks + two barrels of oil. In other words, it is probably the same as the total national defense expenditure. I just ask you, is it awesome?
Therefore, Li Yang planned to grow tobacco in the Americas and make "incense". As the main commodity of trade, it is specially sold to countries around the world. At the same time, it also monopolizes the world's tobacco business and ensure that only one tobacco company in the world can be one.
