When Ying Yu walked into the Qilin Hall with great anger, he immediately attracted the attention of all the officials.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

After seeing Ying Yu, all the officials, big and small, greeted him one after another.

The attitude was extremely respectful.

"Good morning, gentlemen."

Ying Yu responded one by one with a smile on his face.

Then he strode towards his seat.

Now Ying Yu is the crown prince, and his current seat has been moved to the high platform, not far below Brother Zheng.

Soon, Brother Zheng with dark circles under his eyes appeared on the throne.

The court meeting officially began with the arrival of Brother Zheng.

"Now that the Xiongnu territory has been owned by Da Qin, how should the Xiongnu territory be managed? Do you have any good suggestions?"

As soon as the meeting started, Brother Zheng raised a difficult question.

The officials immediately started talking after hearing this.

For Da Qin, the expansion of its territory was indeed a great event, but the grasslands were different from those of the Central Plains, so how to manage them gave the officials a headache.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that the people of the Xiongnu tribe be moved to our territory in Daqin to prevent the Huns from returning."

"Then we will move the people of Great Qin to the northern grasslands to consolidate the rule of the grasslands."

As soon as Meng Yi finished speaking, he was opposed by Feng Quji.

"Your Majesty, the northern grasslands are not suitable for farming at all. If we forcibly move the people of Great Qin there, we might cause resentment among the people."

"What Prime Minister Feng said is right. Furthermore, the plains on the prairie are smooth and there is no danger to defend. How to defend and ensure the safety of our people in Great Qin is also a big problem."

The officials had different opinions and each had their own opinions. They argued for a long time but could not come up with a good solution.

"Prince, what do you think?"

Brother Zheng, who had not received a satisfactory answer for a long time, looked at Ying Yu.

As soon as Brother Zheng finished speaking, all the officials' eyes focused on Ying Yu.

The Xiongnu was defeated by the prince, and everyone wanted to hear Ying Yu's opinion.

Seeing this, Ying Yu stood up, bowed respectfully to the First Emperor, and spoke loudly:

"Father, my son's advice only has four words, that is: use offense instead of defense!"

As soon as this statement came out, Brother Zheng and all the officials were stunned.

"Offense instead of defense?"

Meng Yi had a look of confusion on his face, and then he bowed respectfully to Ying Yu:

"Please express it clearly to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Ying Yu nodded, then came to the world map, pointed at the northern grassland and said:

"The vast grassland is indeed not suitable for defense, but our Great Qin has millions of armors, so why should we defend it?"

"Please see, everyone, the only people in the northern grasslands that can threaten our Great Qin are the Dayue clan and the Donghu people."

"Since the existence of these barbarians is a threat to our Great Qin, why don't we eliminate the threat."

"Father, I suggest that I send troops directly to destroy the Dayue clan and the Donghu people. In this way, we in the northern part of the Qin Dynasty will no longer have any worries."

"Without worries, it will be much easier to manage the northern grasslands."

The officials looked at Ying Yu in disbelief.

It sounds easy to replace defense with merit, but the manpower and material resources required are simply astronomical.

Besides, Da Qin’s treasury has long been empty.

If Ying Yu hadn't killed the Huns not long ago and brought back nearly a million cattle and sheep, there would have been a widespread famine in the Qin Dynasty.

How to send troops when there is no food?

However, Brother Zheng was a little moved at this time.

As an emperor, his greatest achievements are nothing more than two.

The first is internal stability, the people are prosperous, and the country is strong.

The second step is to expand the territory.

However, these two achievements cannot be achieved at the same time.

If you want internal stability and the people to be prosperous, you can't go to war without permission.

However, Ying Zheng, the first emperor of the world, said that he wanted both.

In fact, after Ying Yu destroyed the Xiongnu, Brother Zheng, who saw the benefits, had already had the idea of ​​using troops against Dayuezhi and Donghu.

As for the food problem, Brother Zheng is not worried at all because of the fairy food that Ying Yu gave him.

He had secretly arranged for Weiyang Jun to plant the seeds in Yingxi.

“I don’t agree with His Highness the Crown Prince’s view of replacing defense with offense!

Jiang Taigong once said: Although the country is large, if it is warlike, it will perish!"

"Your Majesty, our country, the Qin Dynasty, has suffered from natural disasters for many years. The treasury has long been empty and cannot support the war. At this time, it is the right thing to rest and recuperate."

"Master Zhang is right. Regardless of victory or defeat in a war, the consumption will be huge. If we win, it will be fine, but if we lose, then our Great Qin will be in danger of destruction."

"His Royal Highness the Prince has destroyed the Xiongnu. I believe Dayue clan and Donghu have already received the news. The two clans must be on guard. It would be unwise to send troops at this time. Making friends and showing goodwill is the best strategy."

After some reflection, many civil servants stood up to oppose it.

Hearing this, Brother Zheng had a look of hesitation on his face.

Although he also wanted to send troops to attack Dayuezhi and Donghu, the civil servants in the audience told the truth.

Although potatoes, sweet potatoes and other fairy foods have been planted, Zheng Ge is not sure how much the yield per acre will be.

If the yield per acre is in danger and the war in the north remains at a stalemate, then Great Qin will be in real danger.

Thinking of this, Brother Zheng looked at Ying Yu again.

Governing a country is different from fighting on the battlefield.

What is needed in court discussions is not to make a prompt decision, but to weigh the pros and cons and choose the most appropriate plan.

In Brother Zheng's opinion, Ying Yu still lacks too much in this regard.

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Brother Zheng hesitated and the corners of Yingyu's mouth raised slightly.

It seems it's time to teach the officials a lesson.

Thinking of this, he came to the world map again and stretched out his finger:

"This area must be familiar to all of you, sir."

Everyone looked for the name and saw that the location pointed by Ying Yu was the land of the Xiongnu.

So they all nodded, of course they were no strangers here.

"So, do you adults know about this area?"

The place that Ying Yu was pointing to at this time was in the south of the prairie, separated from Da Qin by only a mountain.

Seeing this, all the officials shook their heads.

Obviously they didn't know where Ying Yu was referring to.

Seeing this, Ying Yu took out a ballpoint pen from his arms.

Then he wrote four big words in the eyes of everyone's doubts:

Maurya!

"Everyone, there is a huge country in this area, and that is the Maurya Dynasty!"

"Mauryan Dynasty?"

The officials were even more confused. Why had they never heard of the Mauryan Dynasty, which was so close to the Qin Dynasty?

Even Brother Zheng had doubts on his face.

"Your Highness, how does the Mauryan Dynasty you speak of compare with our Great Qin?"

When Ying Yu heard this, a smile appeared on his lips.

"The Mauryan Dynasty has a larger territory than our Qin Dynasty, with a population of more than 30 million, and its national power is even greater than that of our Qin Dynasty."

"What? Thirty million people?"

Feng Quji suddenly exclaimed.

You must know that the current population of Da Qin is only about 25 million.

And Brother Zheng was even more shocked.

He did not expect that such a powerful country could exist so close to Da Qin.

Not only does its land area exceed that of Great Qin, but its population also exceeds that of Great Qin.

Still so close.

Conquer, I must conquer this Mauryan Dynasty.
