Chapter 176: Let the people be the pioneers of overseas development
Li Niandao: "Nowadays, the remaining parts of the Qin Dynasty do not have much manpower and material resources to do overseas development. This does not mean that the Qin Dynasty is short of people and materials. In fact, there is a huge problem. Part of it is hidden among the people. "
"My words can make the people know that there is a vast land outside the Qin Dynasty, which is to mobilize this part of manpower and material resources to pioneer the overseas development of the Qin Dynasty. "
"Overseas development is not a simple matter. You need to know the accurate measurement of sea routes, such as what weather you will encounter in a certain sea area, the exact location of a certain island, and the detailed conditions on the island. Although I can provide Some news... may not be accurate. "
Even if this Earth is similar to the one he came from, it was more than two thousand years ago, and the environment is different from modern times.
Using the information from later generations to apply it to the current world, it is true that the Daqin version is based on the picture. What if there is no horse drawn in the picture?
“Someone needs to go and investigate all of this first!”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng and everyone understood that Li Nian planned to let the power of the people take the lead on behalf of the Qin government. Go exploring.
In this way, we can not only use official manpower and material resources, but also explore overseas in advance and get news about overseas places.
“In addition to exploring the road first and finding out the overseas situation, we can also train a group of professional talents for Daqin.”
"Generals who lead troops in battle all know the importance of guides. This is especially true for sea navigation. Experienced people also need to observe the weather at sea and accurately identify the direction. Otherwise, the sea is vast and losing direction in it will be more fatal than on land. "
The ministers nodded, and they could think of that scene just by thinking about it. There is sea on all sides. If you can't find the way on the sea, it will be more desperate than getting lost on land.
“Da Qin naturally needs to train a group of such professional talents, but it will be difficult to do so within a period of time, and it will still lack experience in practical operations.”
“But if people among the people When they go overseas to develop, they may be unfamiliar at first, but they will gradually become proficient in a large number of practical operations, which is exactly what they need. Da Qin trains this group of talents. When the time comes, Da Qin can either directly order them to be used by the country, or let them teach them the experience of sea navigation."
I understand again, and let the people create people and things. Train talents for the country. Finally, when the talents mature, the country will pick the fruits and directly use these trained talents.
I have to say that this proposal is really attractive. Da Qin officials can take advantage of it without spending a penny. Anyway, Da Qin can't expand overseas now. It is better to leave it to the private sector than to leave it there.
But there are also problems. A minister said: "Li Shangshu's words are certainly good, but how can we make people willing to go overseas?"
Li Niandao: "You can issue a reward, such as bringing someone back overseas. certain Plant crops, give gold or titles, and encourage others to explore overseas; you can induce them. There are many treasures overseas, with rich soil and water, and a large number of mineral deposits and rare objects. Facing these rare treasures and minerals, some people will be tempted and willing to go to sea. "< br>< br>The minister nodded and said: "It is true that you can reward and induce them, especially those who are merchants. However, according to Li Shangshu's words, the people know that overseas places are vast and rich, and they will definitely spread. If other countries know about it, So what? , will it be detrimental to our Great Qin?"
Li Nian glanced at the minister and replied: "Li thinks there is no need to worry. Even if others know it, it will be difficult to compete with Great Qin for overseas lands. ”
"Because the Qin State has a large population, while other small countries have few people, it takes a month for the Qin State to develop in one day. How can the countries compete with each other if they are not at the same level? Is it possible that the princes do not have the confidence to defeat other countries?"
One thing Li Nian did not point out is that with the technology and crafts he provided for future generations, the development of Daqin would be beyond the reach of other countries.
If the development of other countries can catch up with this, then the other country must also have problems, and the problems are bigger than the search engine in his head!
Another minister asked: "What if those people who go overseas intend to rebel, and they will become disobedient after they go overseas?"
Such a thing is indeed possible. There are still many nobles from the Six Nations hiding among the people. If these people escape overseas and raise the banner against Da Qin, Da Qin will really not be able to wipe them out for a while. Li Nian said truthfully: "If you say that this matter can be completely avoided, I am afraid that Your Majesty and you will not believe it, but Li thinks that these people who intend to rebel cannot make too many waves."
“Although overseas lands are rich in resources, they have not yet been developed. They are mostly barbaric lands and are far inferior to our Daqin. There are not many people who are willing to leave their hometowns and go overseas without returning. On the contrary, if they wait, they can Let’s clear some obstacles for Da Qin to develop overseas first.”
This is what Ying, Ya, and Lan did. Throwing a group of criminals over was not only an exile, but also allowed these people to serve as pioneers in development. Army, the effect is quite good.
If the nobles of the Six Kingdoms really went overseas and wanted to fight against the Qin Dynasty, they would first develop the local land and wipe out the cannibals.
This also brings Chinese culture to the entire world, letting those ignorant and barbaric peoples know the prosperity of Chinese civilization.
"And these people who intend to rebel are willing to go overseas, just to reduce domestic pressure. If they stay at home, wouldn't they think of rebellion in their hearts?"
"Of course they will, but they don't dare to raise the flag of rebellion blatantly. , They only dare to cause trouble in secret and prevent Da Qin from truly unifying the world."
Indeed, these people who intend to rebel will not give up rebellion just because of a decree, unless the decree is to restore their country and restore their past. Prosperity and wealth.
From this aspect, it is really a good thing for Da Qin that these people go overseas.
Although these people will raise the flag of rebellion against Da Qin when they go overseas and may pose a threat to Da Qin, many things in the world are like this, with advantages and disadvantages. It is difficult to only take advantage of the advantages and not take advantage of the disadvantages.
The ministers who can be ranked in the Qin court naturally understand this truth. Although some ministers are opposed to Li Nian's proposal, more ministers think it is worth trying.
Because when weighed comprehensively, the advantages of this matter outweigh the disadvantages!
In the end, it was Ying Zheng who made the final decision, letting part of the overseas information known to the public, using the power of the private sector to advance overseas development, and accumulate experience in overseas development.
Since it was the first court meeting of the Qin Dynasty, many things were discussed at this court meeting. After the court meeting dispersed, Ying Zheng left Li Nian alone and asked: "This is my first time to go to court. How do you feel? "
Li Niandao said: "All the princes are outstanding people in the world. With your Majesty's help, they will make the country of Qin strong and its people prosperous. For me, it is very tiring to participate in the court meeting, so it is best not to do so. Come more!”
Hearing Li Nian's answer, Ying Zheng smiled and said: "You are sincere! Today is the first court meeting of the Qin Dynasty. As my Minister of Education, how can you not come with this courtesy?"
For this Li Nian actually had some objections to the official position of "Minister of Education". It was such a damn name, nondescript, and it sounded so awkward, but Ying Zheng had no choice but to accept it since he had already taken it.
After all, Ying Zheng is the boss and is about to become the father-in-law and father-in-law. A son-in-law cannot be too fussy with his father-in-law.
Li Nianzheng thought that the First Emperor was going to be his father-in-law, so the First Emperor asked: "When do you plan to marry Shunying? According to the rules of marriage for future generations, Shunying should be still young, right?"
