After a long time, an old man with white eyebrows and beard came forward and bowed to the emperor. "Your Majesty, the A'ri Empire may be a legendary country. Legends say that our world is not the world we can see with our naked eyes. Our real world is composed of three thousand great worlds and one hundred thousand small worlds, connected by some kind of channel. It is said that in ancient times, after a great war, the channel between our world and other worlds was completely blocked, making our world appear more independent. However, over the years, perhaps that channel has been opened up again. Our Great Qin Empire may face countless enemies, which is also normal."

Zhao Xin took a look at the old man and discovered that his name was Yan Wen. This guy actually had no real role in the court. His only function was to record history. Every emperor was very afraid of ministers who recorded history. At least most emperors did not dare to provoke these guys. Because once they provoked these guys, the emperor would easily leave a bad reputation. The most important thing was that these guys were the kind of stubborn and stubborn people. Once they made a decision in their hearts, they would not change it even if they were killed.

Zhao Xin naturally knew what kind of temper these guys had. So usually he didn't pay much attention to Yan Wen, and this guy called Yan Wen didn't pay much attention to their emperor.

Therefore, this old man Yan Wen is actually a nobody in the court.

During court meetings, this guy would quietly find a place to sit down, and then after the meeting was over, he would quietly leave again. He never caused any trouble, but now this guy came out and actually told such a secret.

Zhao Xin immediately became interested. "As expected of someone who studies and records history, you're able to understand even such ancient history. So, how big of a threat do you think the Are Empire poses to the Qin Empire? How should the Qin Empire deal with it?"

Old man Yan Wen said tremblingly, "Your Majesty the Emperor is wise and powerful. How can I casually offer suggestions? But I believe that no matter what the country is like, no matter whether they are strong or weak, our Great Qin Empire must be fully prepared. Only by being fully prepared can we reduce the harm caused by war to us."

Well, this old man just provided some information, and as for the suggestions that followed, they were all nonsense.

Although the Qin Empire is developing rapidly and everyone's life is very good, its organization is still very strict.

It's not just within the Great Qin Empire. Even those that have formed a subordinate relationship with the Great Qin Empire, whether it's the Pirate Empire or the Southern Continent, are now imitating the Great Qin Empire and forming a very strict organization.

Under such circumstances, if a sudden attack occurs in any place, a counterattack can be organized quickly and the people can be protected.

To a certain extent, the Qin Empire is now in a state of war preparation at any time and anywhere!

After hearing this guy finish his opinion, Zhao Xin asked the others, "What about you? What do you think? Get ready, this is no small matter for us. The guy above was so arrogant, which shows that the Are Empire may not be so easy to deal with. If a conflict really arises, our Great Qin Empire must actively respond."

As the Prime Minister, Liu Qingyi finally spoke up at this time: "Your Majesty, I don't think there's any need to rush this matter. The Are Empire may appear powerful on the surface, but judging from their current situation, I think this country may be facing a huge crisis. In this huge crisis, the damage they can cause us is actually limited! Their biggest crisis is definitely a lack of food!"

Many ministers of the Great Qin Empire had already known about this matter.

After all, the reason why Zhao Xin was so angry this time was because the merchants of the Qin Empire were actually smuggling grain on a large scale.

Food is a strategic material and a very important thing. It cannot be sold without the emperor's approval and the coordination of the entire country.

At least it must not be sold on a large scale! Because if there is a problem, it means that thousands of people will starve to death.

However, the Are Empire was actually smuggling grain from the Qin Empire on a large scale, which meant that they were short of food.

Liu Qingyi said: "The most important thing for us now is to protect the granaries of our Great Qin Empire. Perhaps their main target of attacking us now is the granaries of our Great Qin Empire."

The Qin Empire had many granaries.

The most important thing is that these granaries are basically built at important transportation routes.

In the Qin Empire, there is now a network of railways that can lead to many major cities in the Qin Empire. At the intersection of these railways, various granaries and warehouses have been built to store supplies.

Railways are also an important method of transporting large quantities of various materials in the Qin Empire.

Of course, in addition to railways, the Qin Empire also had a particularly important method of transporting grain, which was transporting it by sea via huge ships.

The grain transported by sea was mainly delivered to some of the vassal states of the Qin Empire, and in return for other materials needed by the Qin Empire. Therefore, there were also 6 large warehouses on the seashore.

These six large warehouses store a huge amount of grain. The grain in each warehouse is enough to feed the people of the Qin Empire for a year.

In addition to the Great Qin Empire, there are also several warehouses in the Pirate Empire. The Pirate Empire originally did not produce much grain, because the territory occupied by the Pirate Empire was just a few islands. The soil and water on the islands were very poor, making it difficult for grain to grow.

However, after a long period of research, the people in the Academy of Sciences of the Qin Empire finally succeeded in breeding a type of pirate that could survive on the island.

It can now be said that the Pirate Empire is basically self-sufficient, but sometimes it also needs the Qin Empire to transport some food.

Then there is the southern continent. There are no railways in the southern continent yet, and food is mainly transported by ships on the sea and the large rivers on land.

Therefore, their warehouses are basically built in these more important places.
