As for the Huns, there are two options. If they fight against the Dagan army stationed in the north, they may not be able to get food.
Or deal with the Turks. I believe they will have a choice.
If other foreign races come to us, the same will apply. Using foreign races to rule foreign races will be our next strategy."
"I see." The Eighth Prince pondered for a moment, then asked, "But we may not even have enough supplies, so how can we provide them to the Xiongnu?"
"Mechanical technology... Let's promote mechanical technology throughout the country to replace manpower." Xun You took out a mechanical model and explained again.
Why is the development of Da Gan's mechanical technology so slow at present? Because there is no demand from the Da Gan court.
There is enough food to eat and enough goods for the rich and powerful. In their eyes, do farmers need handicrafts?
Probably not necessary.
The entire economy is an internal cycle, and with such consumption power, productivity is sufficient.
If we vigorously develop mechanical engineering, even if we produce enough products, who can we sell them to?
It may even lead to a drop in the prices of various precious commodities. Even if more things are produced, the output value may be lower than it is now.

The consumption of the rich is already enough, and the expansion of productivity has no effect. It will only disrupt the original pattern and will be opposed by major forces.

The Eighth Prince sighed repeatedly. Although he knew that some details still needed to be controlled, he felt that this strategy was feasible.
"How wonderful! These two gentlemen are truly divine."
Having said that, the Eighth Prince performed a ceremony for the two of them. The Eighth Prince was considered the most polite among all the princes.
“Your Highness, the big exam is coming soon. Why not propose that His Majesty should be asked to answer the question on how to deal with the Northern Desert?
If it is possible, then we will definitely get the Minister of Works!" Xun You said again.
The eighth prince's eyes lit up when he thought of this. He felt that it was feasible and it was not a missed question.
Even for questions like this, what if there are missing questions?
