"Xuanqing entered from the south gate and looked at Xianyang today. It is no less bustling than Linzi in Qi State."
"Yanzi said that there are three hundred villages in Linzi, with their sleeves stretched out like yin, sweating like rain, and they are standing shoulder to shoulder. Now Xianyang is even more prosperous. I wonder if Xianyang will have more than 100,000 households this year?"
The side hall of Xingle Palace is located.
Sure enough, as Brother Wang said, everything has been prepared, and everyone in Shangshifang is still delivering delicious food, delicacies, and mellow wine inside.
Since the establishment of the two counties in Hexi, business and travel have flourished, and a large number of things belonging to the Western Regions have been introduced into Guanzhong, including various spices. The natural residence in Xianyang City is the first of its kind.
Soon, it became popular throughout Xianyang City.
A dish has a lot more flavor, which naturally makes it more fragrant. As for the wine, this is even more true, but it is more of a fruit-brewed wine like Purple Dragon Pearl and lacks some grain wine.
The lands in the Western Regions are not originally rich in grains.
They each sat behind the desk, with the maids waiting beside them, looking at everything in front of them. Since coming down the mountain, they can be regarded as watching Xianyang develop step by step to this appearance.
It’s a good feeling to be abreast of history.
Holding the Donghai Qionglong bottle in his hand, he looked at the slightly rippled pure wine inside. He sighed in admiration and looked at Li Si beside him. Now that the Four Kingdoms have been destroyed, everyone in the country should also take credit.
Li Si should also go further.
"The people of Xianyang are in charge. According to the government's practice, they will not leave until after this month."
"Although I don't know this year, last year Xianyang had more than 96,000 households and a population of more than 600,000. Sure enough, there will be more lively things."
At that kind of data, Li Si nodded and responded, as if it were a treasure trove of information.
Being in Xianyang and holding an important position in the government, he naturally knows about such things. Today's Xianyang is indeed... surpassing Linzi of Qi State in terms of prosperity and people's power.
If there is anything lacking, it is Fenghua.
But as the Central Academy continues to expand, that thing will get better and better.
"This summer, when I went out of Xianyang Palace to inspect the fields in Guanzhong, I felt the same way."
"Therefore, the Xianyang Order has been ordered to widen and strengthen the Guoguo, where the inner city of Xianyang Palace is located. It is a bit difficult to expand it."
King Qin Zheng was sitting at the top, drinking as he pleased. Hearing the words of his younger brother, he couldn't help but smile.
Regarding the situation here in Xianyang, I actually know better. Xianyang is indeed becoming more and more bustling, that is... the outer city can continue to expand outwards.
There is no such place for the royal family in the inner city.
Coupled with the constant flow of beauties, slaves, and utensils from various countries in Shandong, Xianyang Palace, which seemed a bit spacious ten years ago, is already a bit crowded.
"Hahaha, today's prosperous scene, I am afraid that more than a hundred years ago, Duke Xiao, Lord Shang and others could not imagine Xianyang today."
Zhou Qing smiled again when he heard this.
"In the past, the Shang Dynasty reformed the Qin State. In order to stay away from Yueyang, Ganlong and others supervised the construction of Xianyang City here. This was for the reform and for the Qin State's pursuit of innovation."
"Although Xiaogong and the late Lord cannot see today's Xianyang, but... today's Xianyang is glorious."
The king of Qin naturally admired the Shang monarch very much.
The laws of Xianyang and Qin were established at the beginning of the reign of King Shang.
However, the King of Qin realized that in the future, both Xianyang and Qin's laws would be a hundred times more magnificent than before.
"Although Xianyang is large, the imperial city is limited, and although it is not crowded, there will come a day when the imperial city of Qin a hundred years ago will not be the same as the imperial city now."
"If things go down day by day, Xuanqing feels that he can take the opportunity to find a new palace and build a new royal capital. King Wen of the Great Zhou Dynasty will have his capital Feng, and King Wu's capital will be Hao. This is the case."
Here in Xianyang, it is difficult to change the inner city. We can only continue to renovate and change the original palace location and use it for new purposes. There is no need to worry about it for now.
It is naturally easy to expand the outer city.
Zhou Qing raised the bottle and looked up, smiled slightly, and said something.
"This..., King Wen Du Feng, King Wu Du Hao..., Marquis Wu Zhen's words always make people's hearts flutter."
"Sure enough, it's going to happen day by day, this matter... is quite feasible."
"Li Si, what do you think?"
When Qin Wangzheng heard this, he couldn't help but look startled, and then his red phoenix eyes were bright and bright, and he looked at the king's younger brother. In fact...this statement is feasible for the country, and it will bring a new atmosphere to all the summers.
That is...if we really want to build a new imperial palace, it would be ten times the size of Xianyang Palace to suit our location, and it would cost a lot of money.
"Build a new palace?"
"This matter... should be feasible, but it needs to wait until Zhuxia is stable and the treasury is full."
Li Si didn't have any objections. What Wu Zhenhou said was true, and there was nothing wrong with building a new palace. Although it cost a lot, it was okay as long as it was not built at an inappropriate time.
"Hahaha, let's drink a bottle."
The king of Qin was happy with his administration.
"Just now in the palace, I asked Wu Zhenhou if he had any wise words for Qi Chu?"
"Nowadays, fine wines are freely drunk and delicacies are displayed. It should be said casually."
Immediately, following the previous words, he put the bottle in his hand on the table, looked at the king's brother, went east to destroy the four kingdoms, the Central Plains was in hand, the situation was complete, and he felt heroic in his heart.
We are about to achieve great things that the ancestors of the past kings have hoped for, accomplish things that have never been done in three generations, and accomplish things that the ancient emperor Xuanyuan has never done. How can we not feel excited?
But the only obstacle right now is Qi Chu!
Regarding Qi Chu's policy, he has not yet made a decision. It will not be too late to start the great dynasty meeting when all the important ministers arrive. However, Wang Di has always made successful plans and can use them as a reference.
"Qi Chu's strategy?"
"Of the Shandong countries, there are only two left at present, one is Qilu on the coast of the East China Sea, and the other is the Huai River, with rivers crisscrossing it."
"With the current power of Da Qin, it is not too difficult to attack and destroy both of them. Therefore, Xuan Qing believes that we should decide the pros and cons."
Zhou Qing put down the wine bottle in his hand and met Brother Wang's gaze.
Then he looked at Li Si and Meng Yi on the side.
Regarding this policy, Zhou Qing is not sure whether the central government is currently discussing it, but whether it is discussed or not, there is no conflict with what he said.
"Deciding pros and cons?"
Qin Wangzheng nodded slightly.
As for Li Si and Meng Yi, they just listened quietly.
"Compared with the Chu State, the Qi State was weak in national strength and had not engaged in military warfare for decades. Therefore... it was very quick to destroy Qi State first. As expected, the Qi State was destroyed first, and all the Xia Dynasty and north of the Huai River were completely included in the territory of the Qin State."
"If you rectify your strength at this time, you can safely move southward and think of destroying Chu."
Following the words in his mouth, Zhou Qing raised his hand, and a ray of purple mysterious light fell directly in the center of the side hall, manifesting the exquisite sand table in the main hall of Xingle Palace just now.
It is solid and unified, just like the real body, just like the exquisite sand table in the outside world.
With just a few fingers, a black torrent covered the entire Qilu land, and the Qi Kingdom was destroyed. Looking down, on the entire sand table, only the Chu Kingdom in the south was left.
"With regard to the Chu State, with the preparation of the Academy to Protect the Country, and the steady advance of hundreds of thousands of troops, although the Chu State has strong resistance, it will eventually be destroyed, but... we want to completely destroy the Chu State."
"But there are a lot of difficulties."
The entire side hall fell into a shallow silence, and only Zhou Qing's voice could not help but be recalled. One after another, his eyes fell on the sand table, and at this moment, there was mysterious light moving on it again.
"Destroy Chu!"
"When troops approach the Huaihe River, Shouchun will be destroyed."
"But that is only the first step. Xuanqing believed that there are three steps to destroy Chu. One of the troops is on the Huai River! The other is on the Jiang River! The third is on the Lingnan! After completing the three steps, the Qin army can reach the south of the South China Sea.
.”
"That is the real complete destruction of the Chu State, and it will take a little longer."
Zhou Qing raised his hand and swiped, and a stream of black light covered the Huai River, the river, Lingnan, and the South China Sea. Looking at it, the Huai River and the river were both under the control of Chu State.
In Lingnan, there are many Baiyue ethnic groups. The Chu State is defeated and must flee south, because there is no way to retreat in the north. If the Chu State flees south, the Qin State will definitely pursue and kill them.
The extreme south is the coast of the South China Sea.
"Attack Qi first, then destroy Chu, that's all."
"And whoever attacks Chu first will indeed attack and destroy Chu first. Perhaps... Qi is not too worried."
In a time of great strife, attacking a city and destroying a country may still require a lot of strategy, but today... Qin is the only country that is strong and dominant. Facing the only remaining two countries of Qi and Chu, there is no need for this.
You can make a choice and move.
On the exquisite sand table in the hall, streams of light move again, the route of Qi first and then Chu, and the route of Chu first and then Qi are all presented one by one. It is indeed...very clear.
"How to choose?"
Qin Wangzheng asked with a smile.
I have also considered what Brother Wang said, but... it's not enough.
"Quick first, then clear, first easy, then difficult!"
"First Chu, then Qi, first difficult, then easy!"
"This can be a debate between difficulty and ease. There should be such a debate in the military at this moment."
"But if you want to decide between the two countries, there are two other places for your Majesty to make a decision."
Zhou Qing also smiled.
Qi Chu's succession!
Both are possible!
Be aware of yourself and it will be beneficial to attack Chu!
But...my own decision does not represent Brother Wang's decision, but the meaning of decision can still be explained in detail.
"Besides difficulty, are there two other things?"
Qin Wangzheng raised his eyebrows.
As for attacking Chu and attacking Qi, in fact... the biggest debate in the government right now is the debate between difficulty and ease.
Are there two other places?
"One, the debate between Qi and Chu temples!"
"Second, the debate on Qi Chu's governance!"
Zhou Qing held it with one hand, and the exquisite sand table displayed in the palace slowly faded away and disappeared into nothingness. After that, he said two other important things.
"Temple Debate?"
"An argument for treating the situation?"
"Oh, Marquis Wu Zhen, tell me quickly!"
"Meng Yi, record it in the book."
Qin Wangzheng recited one or two words again, nodded, and immediately said, there is something new about those two, and there has not been such a discussion in the government.
And the final choice has to fall on oneself. How to make the wisest decision naturally requires integrating all parties and thinking vigorously. As he said this, he looked at the doctor Ling Mengyi again.
Regarding this theory, I don’t think it was just a casual comment made by the king’s brother. Naturally, it should be kept for careful consideration.
"Here."
Meng Yi got up and sat down at another empty desk. There...there was already a maid displaying pen and ink and studying it personally. Meng Yi started writing and was preparing to record it.
