"I went to the western suburbs to consult the people about greenhouse technology. This technology requires specific land, special tents, and temperature. I think it will take a long time to learn."
"In that case, let the barbarians provide us with cattle and sheep continuously!"
Qin Yuanhao said that he took back what he had just said.
This Minister of Revenue is very good.
"Okay, then let's do as the Minister of Revenue says. I think they'll be interested in the incubation technology." Qin Yuanhao put his hands behind his back and looked outside. "Then we can trade them for their war horses!"
After the Minister of Revenue figured it out, he immediately pulled Yang Ziping into work mode.
It just so happened that Zhou Mian also brought the little princess Qin Zhenzhen over.
[The study is so bustling today, are they discussing a trade with the barbarians?]
[The Emperor already knows that the barbarians have war horses? That's great! The barbarian warriors are valiant and skilled in battle. If only we could organize a military exercise.]
[You can learn more about their combat techniques. If there are other countries, that would be even better.]
[However, I think those countries don't want to lose either, so they will definitely put in their utmost effort to respond.]
"They certainly didn't bring many cattle and sheep this time. We can send someone back with them and hand over the goods and the books."
"I remember there were books on hatching techniques and pig farming, but I didn't know about this greenhouse cultivation..."
"Sir, yes, the Third Prince participated in the writing of this book."
Upon hearing this, the Shangshu's face was filled with pride, "You are indeed worthy of being the prince of the Great Qin."
[That's, that's my brother.]
Qin Yuanhao had just held the little princess in his arms when a young eunuch came outside asking to see her.
"Zhou Mian, why are you so flustered?"
Zhou Mian quickly came over to reply, a hint of anger on his face. "Your Majesty, it's the Sang Kingdom envoys. They've arrived in the capital, but instead of coming to the palace to pay their respects, they went to the self-service hot pot restaurant."
Qin Yuanhao was not very excited. He tilted his head and looked at Prime Minister Jin, and found that the other party had no expression.
It's really boring!
The Minister of War, however, reacted most strongly, "How could a mere Sang State be so disrespectful to His Majesty the Great Qin?"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops to directly annihilate the Sang Kingdom."
Prime Minister Jin's face remained expressionless, but his hands, which lay unsteady, showed a hint of panic.
It happened to be captured by Qin Yuanhao.
"Sir Chen, you think we are suppressing bandits!" General Yang said lazily.
It actually made Qin Yuanhao laugh.
"Lord Yang, although I am not as brave and powerful as you, I should still be able to clean up a small island."
"I heard that the Sang Kingdom is located on an island, with only a few hundred thousand people. How dare such a small group of people disrespect our Great Qin?"
Seeing that the emperor remained silent, Prime Minister Jin took a deep breath and finally spoke, "Lord Chen, although Sang State is only an island, you must know that in recent years, they have been dependent on Chu State. If we move against them now, I am afraid that Chu State will be dissatisfied with our Qin State."
"Sang State is easy to deal with, but if we were to face Chu State, I'm afraid we would be in trouble."
[Although Prime Minister Jin was speaking for the Sang Kingdom, his words were not without reason. The Sang Kingdom was openly dependent on the Chu Kingdom, so it was difficult to take action.]
[But I don't know if there's no way out. We can take over Sang from somewhere else!]
Qin Yuanhao felt angry when he thought of this.
It was because the Sang State was dependent on the Chu State that he never thought that the Sang State would dare to harbor the intention of annexing their Great Qin.
I guess it was the Chu State that gave them the courage.
"Prime Minister, I don't believe that the Chu State would declare war on us just for the Sang State. They haven't been able to swallow the Qi State for so many years, and they still have the nerve to say that."
[This newly appointed Minister of War is quite knowledgeable about the current situation, but the Qin Dynasty is not suited to war right now. If it were to go to war, it would be doomed to failure.]
The most important thing right now is to increase our military strength. Once our military strength is increased, even if our ships approach their country, we'll probably be able to scare them to death.
[I remember I placed a book on architecture in my study. It seemed to contain blueprints of combat ships and transport vessels. I wonder if Father has seen it?]
The Minister of War looked disdainful, which hurt Prime Minister Jin's eyes.
If not, if not all his disciples had been uprooted by His Majesty, how could this common man have the chance to speak now?
Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the emperor on the dragon throne.
Then he saw Qin Yuanhao looking at him with a playful expression.
He was excited just now, and this little emperor must be doubting himself.
Jin Chengxiang immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I am also concerned about the people of Great Qin. I see that their lives are getting better. If a war breaks out now, I am afraid that the people cannot afford it!"
Qin Yuanhao nodded, but didn't let anyone get up.
"What the Prime Minister said makes sense. Lord Chen, the Sang Kingdom is far away on the sea. Do you know how to fight at sea?"
"This ship might have been sunk by the Sang Kingdom before it even got close to it."
The Minister of War looked unconvinced, but Qin Yuanhao handed him a book with a smile.
"I stumbled upon this architectural book and discovered that it contains information on shipbuilding and various defensive mechanisms."
"Since Lord Chen is so interested in the Sang Kingdom, why not combine the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works to build a fleet of ships and a dedicated army for the Great Qin?"
"What do you think, Master Chen?"
The Emperor saw this and thought it was a great idea. It would be like establishing a dedicated naval corps. When maritime trade is carried out, it would be much safer with this corps escorting it.
The Minister of War's hands were shaking a little, but he was mostly excited.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty actually values him so much.
With such an important matter handed over to him, the Minister of War quickly knelt beside Prime Minister Jin.
"I obey your command, Your Majesty is wise."
After saying that, Lord Chen stood up and took the book handed to him by Qin Yuanhao with both hands.
Prime Minister Jin, who was standing by, looked at the book with his eyes red with anxiety.
How come this little emperor comes across ancient books all day long? Is there something fishy going on?
But when he thought about it more carefully, he had no idea. His control over the palace was not as strong as before.
He knew nothing about the changes in the palace.
"Prime Minister Jin, it is indeed not appropriate for Great Qin to go to war right now, so I have decided to infiltrate the Sang Kingdom through diplomacy."
"Your pig-raising skills have reached perfection. I think you are more than qualified to guide the Sang Kingdom in pig-raising."
"Just one thing, we have to make the Emperor of Sang spit out something good!"
[Hahaha, the Emperor is such a fool! He asked Prime Minister Jin to learn how to raise pigs, and he's still waiting here.]
[Let Prime Minister Jin teach the people of Daqin first, and then send him back to Sang on the pretext of teaching the people of Sang.]
[If the Emperor of Sang knew this, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.]
"I asked you to infiltrate Daqin, but you turned around and made money from us. We have no choice but to comply. After all, pig farming technology is indeed very important."
The Qi people have also arrived in the capital, and they're heading towards the self-service store.
