I Transmigrated as the Novel's Delusional Tyrant Villain

Zhao Xin found himself transmigrated into a novel, becoming the great villain, a delusional tyrant. This tyrant was obsessed with wine and women, lingering in the imperial harem and never attending...

Chapter 333 Recruitment

Zhao Xin agreed with Liu Muzhi, "That's right, the south, southeast, and Jiangnan are all places that make me drool."

"Jiangnan, southeast, and the south, this area is mainly rivers, with many large rivers and streams."

"In short, there is plenty of water, and the climate is very suitable for crop growth."

"Our Central Plains is mainly developed economically and has a lot of money, but if it comes to food, fish, and other aquatic meats."

"Jiangnan is indeed a treasured land."

Liu Muzhi continued, "Yes, so Your Majesty must not neglect this matter."

"Prime Minister Zhuge Liang suddenly appeared during this period, which disrupted our rhythm."

"Now that taxation has been sorted out, we're starting to focus on military matters."

"But developing the south and southeast is crucial."

Zhao Xin said, "How do you think we should develop this specifically? My main focus right now is on food and aquatic meat."

"Of course, these are the two main points. Actually, it's just one main point: food."

"Besides food, there is also the issue of other specialty crops."

"There are many crops in the south that are not easy to grow in the north."

"It's not just rice and fish, there are also a lot of vegetables, which are easier to grow in the south and the harvest will be larger."

"If we develop the south, food will definitely be the main focus now."

Zhao Xin remembered that before he traveled through time, in fact, in many cases in ancient times, the economy of the north was more prosperous than that of the south. As time passed, the south gradually became the focus.

But in the early years, the north has always been the economic center.

This is the situation now. The economy in the south is still underdeveloped, and the wealthy cities are all in the north. The territory of one of the seven kings is in the south.

The focus of development in the South is on food and cash crops.

It’s mainly farming. If you want to develop the economy, it does take some effort.

Zhao Xin said, "If we want our people in the capital to go to the south to develop grain production, I'm afraid they won't be willing to go."

"No, there will be people who are willing to go." Liu Muzhi said.

"Essentially, they're still reluctant to go. For one thing, their families are all in Beijing."

"Secondly, the distance between the south and the capital is not far. If we go there, it will probably take two or three years."

Liu Muzhi said: "There is nothing we can do about this."

"There will still be people willing to go, of course, as Your Majesty said, they don't want to go at all."

"But not everyone is a genius. As long as they are given enough benefits, they will be willing to go to the South."

"Okay, no matter what, simply issuing a decree won't be enough to change the situation in the south. We must send someone from the court to resolve this issue."

Liu Muzhi said, "Your Majesty, if the problems in the south are properly handled, we can obtain a large amount of grain, which will provide a large amount of military rations for future wars."

"It's easy to keep food from spoiling."

"Your Majesty, given the current situation in Great Qin, expansion is inevitable."

"Soon the entire Great Qin will be prosperous and strong. I believe that at your age, Your Majesty, you will not be obsessed with simply maintaining the status quo, right?"

Zhao Xin replied, "Of course not. I definitely intend to expand. However, before I do, there's actually a problem."

Liu Muzhi was stunned. "Your Majesty, what's the problem?"

"There seems to be the aura of an emperor in the East," said Zhao Xin.

After hearing this, Liu Muzhi was stunned again. "The aura of the Son of Heaven? What does that mean?"

Of course, Zhao Xin cannot say that Chu Zhan is the protagonist. He will be greatly blessed by God in the future and may even bring his men to attack the capital.

"I feel that there will be war there in the future, and someone will appear to compete with me for the throne." Zhao Xin said.

"This... Your Majesty, why do you have such an idea?" Liu Muzhi was a little confused.

Zhao Xin shook his head and said, "I don't know how to put it, but this kind of situation does happen."

Liu Muzhi grew serious, then said, "Your Majesty, although I don't know why you say this, but Your Majesty, you mean that another extraordinary genius will appear, right?"

Zhao Xin nodded quickly. "That's exactly what I meant. I think a very powerful person will appear in the East in the future."

Liu Muzhi was silent for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, I understand."

"So, Your Majesty, you dare not send the army out until this person is dealt with."

Zhao Xin added, "Not only is he afraid to go on the expedition, I'm afraid he won't even be able to wait. I estimate that within two or three years, this man will begin to show his potential."

"By then, it will definitely not be just a simple display of strength. I'm afraid the entire Great Qin will be moved by it."

"So serious?" Liu Muzhi asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's that serious."

Yu Qian then interrupted and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much."

"In my opinion, it is normal for a country to have such a possibility after it develops to a certain scale."

"With so many people in the Great Qin, it's normal for some extremely outstanding people to appear."

"Your Majesty, you only need to govern this country well. If any problems arise, Your Majesty will deal with them."

Zhao Xin thought about it and it seemed to be true. The main reason was that the idea that Chu Zhan was the protagonist was deeply rooted in his mind, and this situation made him very scared.

After all, he is the protagonist of the novel, so this is a very exaggerated thing.

That kind of extreme luck really made Zhao Xin worried.

But it is indeed as Yu Qian said, when an empire develops to this scale, it is quite normal for a group of extremely outstanding people to emerge.

It is normal to encounter very troublesome things. After all, the territory of the Qin Dynasty is not just a few counties.

"Okay, let's not talk about this topic for now. If this problem really arises, we will deal with it later."

"As for the current problem, let's recruit talents first."

"Liu Muzhi, are you really sure about recruiting guests?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I am sure of it."

"Actually... Your Majesty, you have to understand... not everyone is Zhuge Liang."

"One person can benefit the whole world. Often, some scholars can only barely support themselves."

"Your Majesty is now collecting taxes from all of Daqin, and the treasury is now extremely well-off."

"It is very simple to support a group of talented people who can serve Your Majesty."

"Asking them to go to the south, Jiangnan, or the southeast, as long as the benefits are generous enough, there won't be much of a problem."

Zhao Xin understood Liu Muzhi's intention after hearing this. "Okay, if that's the case, go ahead and do it. As for money, food, and supplies, you can just apply to me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
