Chapter 365 Ying Yu's Calculation
"His Royal Highness, please stay, the old minister has one more thing to ask!"
After the court meeting ended, Dunruo quickly caught up with Ying Yu.
"It's okay to say what's the matter with the old servant."
Ying Yu stopped in his tracks and looked at Dunwei with some doubts.
"His Royal Highness, the Qiang people in the Western Regions seem to be a little restless recently?"
He took a weak look around and made sure that there was no one around, so he whispered.
Although he was promoted to serve as a servant under the door, Dunwei is still in charge of the old intelligence agency of the Great Qin, the Black Ice Terrace, and has also begun to extend its footprints to neighboring countries.
Therefore, I also noticed the recent restlessness of the Qiang people, but I was not sure, so I wanted to confirm with Ying Yu first.
Anyway, Ying Zheng had already entrusted Ying Yu with full authority over matters concerning the Western Regions.
"King Qiang does have some ideas, but for me, Da Qin, it may not be a good thing."
Ying Yu smiled slightly.
"What do you mean, Your Highness?"
A look of doubt flashed across his face.
"Although the kingdoms of the city and wall are called an alliance, they are actually not united. It can be said to be a mass of scattered sand. Their strength is not worth mentioning, and their population is not large."
"But these small countries occupy the land that my Great Qin must pass through to Tianzhu and Persian County. Although they dare not fight against my Great Qin, they are not really in their hands to be sure."
Ying Yu said lightly.
"Your Highness, what do you mean is to use the changes of the Qiang people to cause chaos in the city kingdoms first, and consume their strength on a large scale, so that they can be better controlled in the future?"
After thinking for a moment, he frowned.
Ying Yu's obvious plan is to borrow a knife to kill someone.
Using the sword of the Qiang people, he will first cut down the cities and countries with a small population, and when they fall under the control of the Great Qin in the future, he will be much easier to control.
"Is there a better way, servant?"
Ying Yu said indifferently: "In these days, population is an important factor to measure. Isn't the reason why the court introduced regulations on the control of foreigners today is to limit the proportion of foreigners?"
"It's the old minister who is stupid!"
He sighed weakly.
"There has never been benevolence, justice and morality between countries. There are only two words, and that is interest."
"Don't worry, this prince will let the coalition forces of various countries under the command of the Protectorate of the Western Regions take action in time to keep those people who have their hearts in my Great Qin."
"As for not being of the same mind with Daqin, it's better to let the Qiang people do it than I, Daqin, do it myself?"
Ying Yu waved his hand and continued:
"Moreover, there will be great order after the great chaos. When the chaos becomes a mess, many small countries will cease to exist. The land of the city walls can be merged into a county for easy management. Otherwise, there will be countless forces within a radius of less than a thousand miles. How troublesome it is to manage."
"The old minister has been taught!"
After a moment of thought, he nodded and said.
There is indeed no better way than Ying Yu.
"And in fact, after such a rectification, those who love my Daqin can also integrate into Daqin better and more smoothly, which is actually a good thing for them."
"The waiter also saw the reaction of Nei Shiteng just now. Although the Daqin treasury is much richer, it is not an easy task to maintain so many welfare policies. It cannot be easily given out."
"Even if there are special regulations, people who can't enjoy it will inevitably feel jealous when they see that others can enjoy it, which will add to the trouble."
"It's better to let these unstable factors be eliminated as soon as possible."
"And after removing part of it, freeing up space will make it easier for me, Daqin, to emigrate and truly achieve long-term peace and stability."
Ying Yu explained patiently.
"Good regards, Your Highness the Prince!"
"It's just that the land of the city is mostly the Gobi. Not to mention compared with the current Daqin, it is far inferior to the prairie. I'm afraid the enthusiasm of the people to migrate is not very high!"
Dunwei once again raised a new question.
Previously, the imperial court advocated that the people move to Liaodong to participate in the great development of Liaodong. Although it achieved some results at the beginning, it was far from reaching the expected level.
The fundamental reason is that most people dislike Liaodong for being too cold, and the level of wealth is far less than that of the Central Plains.
It wasn't until the Liaodong Grand Canal project was established that the people of the entire Daqin saw the hope of Liaodong, and the enthusiasm for immigration really reached the expectations of the imperial court.
As for the prairie, although dozens of solid concrete and concrete cities have been built one after another, those who have really settled down are some families such as the Wu family with herding traditions in their ancestors, and those who have been transferred from various military horse farms in Daqin. The total number of manpower is only more than one hundred thousand.
Compared with the prairie with a radius of thousands of miles, these more than [-] people and dozens of towns are nothing at all.
This is the case in Liaodong and the prairie. Will the people actively migrate to the more barren city walls?
As for the importance of the population ratio, Dunwei is naturally very clear.
"Actually, the land of the city is not completely desolate in the Gobi. For example, Loulan is an oasis with very beautiful scenery. It is not an exaggeration to call it the top of the south of the Yangtze River."
"The lack of development today is mainly due to the inconvenient transportation. Except for the caravans going to Persia and Tianzhu County, few people will pass through there."
"As long as I, Daqin, can build a convenient concrete straight road after taking this place, and increase the traffic capacity of the road, there will be more business exchanges, and it will naturally develop along with it."
"The economy is better, and the number of people who are willing to settle down will naturally increase."
In Daqin at this moment, due to less environmental damage, the area of the Gobi desert is much smaller than that of later generations, and there are many more oases.
For example, the Loulan Kingdom is a large oasis with a square area of more than a hundred miles. The beautiful scenery can be called the best tourist attraction.
The reason for the disappearance of the later generations was purely due to Loulan's own death. He cut down all the trees for the sake of building construction, lost the protection of the fence, and the oasis was gradually engulfed by the desert.
As long as Daqin does a good job in environmental protection, the land of the city, as the only way to the Western Regions, still has great potential for development.
Anyway, there were a lot of coolies in the Maurya Dynasty. Apart from building roads, they were also good at planting trees.
And the complete opening of the land route, coupled with the increasingly prosperous sea route, is the basis for the Great Qin to permanently control the Western Regions.
At that time, the Protectorate of the Western Regions of the Great Qin Dynasty can also be gradually abolished, and changed into an official county.
This is what Ying Yu really wanted.
But soon, Ying Yu discovered a new problem.
Daqin seems to have too many counties now.
