"Your Majesty is thoughtful. However, if there were more princes and kings, the current number of craftsmen in Daqin would probably not be enough to go around." Feng Quji calculated silently. After all, he had been the prime minister for so many years. Even though Daqin had changed a lot now, he knew it very well.
"Let them recruit people themselves. What kind of people they can recruit depends on their abilities. Then the matter will be made known to the capital of Guizhou. This kind of thing mainly depends on the voluntary participation of the people of Guizhou." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.
The population of Daqin is still too small. The number of craftsmen has increased in recent years, but it is still not enough within Daqin.
"Your Majesty, do they pay for recruiting people and soldiers themselves, or does the national treasury pay for it?" Meng Tian asked seriously. Now that he was in charge of the Ministry of War, this issue was something he couldn't ignore.
"How about we take out some money from the national treasury as their start-up capital, and consider it a loan to them. There will be no interest for five years, and they must pay it back later. How about that?" Zhao Qingrui touched his chin.
"It's feasible, but we need to draw up a charter to determine how much money should be allocated." Li Si agreed.
"How much do you think each person should borrow?" Zhao Qingrui looked at his trusted ministers. He still needed their help in making the decision. When he thought of the complicated things that would follow, Zhao Qingrui felt like his brain was about to explode.
At this time, she really wanted to be a salted fish.
The problems we have to face here are not small, and we must make decisions after careful consideration.
Several people discussed in Zhangtai Palace for an entire afternoon before they came up with a rough outline of the rules.
Zhao Qingrui looked at the plan he had drafted in his hand. All the situations they could think of were listed here. This was just the first version. Later, they just had to perfect this plan before the princes set off.
Zhao Qingrui did not hide the news of the enfeoffment of princes, and it soon spread.
Your Majesty wants to restart the enfeoffment. This time, the enfeoffment will be voluntary. If you are willing to go out and expand the territory, the court will provide resources to support you, but the land you are enfeoffed on will not be within the Qin Dynasty.
This incident caused a huge uproar outside, and people were discussing it everywhere, especially many people in the royal family, who were extremely excited.
Lian Yingyuan and the others were very excited, and the three of them gathered together for a small meeting.
"What do you think she means? Is she really so kind?" Ying Shu said excitedly.
Zhao Qingrui actually gave them a lot of preferential treatment. If they had their own fiefdom, there would definitely be many benefits.
"The imperial court is willing to lend us soldiers, so we can go out and give it a try. I don't know if we can borrow fire bombs. They are very powerful." Ying Qiao has been coveting gunpowder for a long time. If he can get it, there will be many benefits.
"Don't be careless." Ying Yuan was also tempted, but he also felt that Zhao Qingrui was not that kind.
Anyway, there is no need to rush about this matter, you can wait and see.
"Let's see who is willing to go out and try first." Ying Yuan said seriously.
In recent years, their trade with the Maurya Empire has become more frequent, and they have a better understanding of the Maurya Empire, especially their war weapons such as elephants, which make them terrified.
Of course, the Qin Dynasty's gunpowder is more powerful. If it had used gunpowder, it would not have been impossible to attack the Maurya Empire.
"Besides, what good things are you thinking about? If you have such a weapon, would you be willing to give it to someone else?" Ying Yuan rolled his eyes at him.
"I definitely don't want to do that. What if that person uses such a weapon against me?" Ying Qiao said without thinking.
After he finished speaking, he came to his senses and became depressed.
"That's it." Ying Yuan said calmly.
Several people fell silent. If the Qin Dynasty always had such powerful weapons, vassal states like theirs would actually have nothing to fear.
"We should also think positively. The Maurya Empire has a lot of gems, there should be many mineral veins, and there is also a large population." Ying Yuan broke the calm, his eyes full of passion.
Because of the frequent transactions with the Maurya Empire, they made a lot of money with the large amount of various gems they sent over, even though the value of these gems depreciated slightly.
If they could control such a mineral vein, they would become rich.
Thinking of this, not only Ying Yuan, but also Ying Shu and Ying Qiao's breathing became heavy.
"The Maurya Empire is so big, can we conquer it?" Ying Shu asked doubtfully.
"How about we go and ask the emperor what he thinks?" Ying Qiao looked at the two of them.
With the strong support of the court, it would be no problem to take over such a place.
"Let's take a look first. We can't be the first to take action." Ying Yuan was silent for two seconds.
Not only Ying Yuan and his group, but even Wang Xia discussed this matter with Fusu.
Fusu is currently preparing to go. He is not a hesitant person. Now that he has made the decision, he should prepare for what is next.
"Although Your Majesty has restarted the enfeoffment, I estimate that there are many people who want to go out, and we should be prepared. With so many people going out, the resources that the court can provide are limited. It still depends on ourselves." Fusu said softly.
"I understand. I will count our property tomorrow." Wang Xia said seriously.
"Is there any place you want to go? After we leave, it will be difficult to come back. Even if we have to go out, we should choose a place where we can live comfortably." Fusu looked at Wang Xia. They have been married for so many years and their relationship is very good.
"Don't go to places that are too cold. I'm afraid of the cold. You can take care of the rest." Wang Xia didn't have too many requirements.
"Okay, by the way, the children are grown up now, and Ziying hasn't come back yet. I don't know what Ziying thinks." Fusu thought of Ziying and began to have a headache again.
