Chapter 205 Brother Zheng Wants to Raze Fusang to the Ground

Zhang Liang left Xianyang for the grassland without causing any disturbance.

After all, Zhang Liang now wants status but not status, and wants status but not status.

No one will care.

Compared with a team of thousands of people leaving Xianyang City, the people are more concerned about Cui Ruyi, Gan Tong and others who are to be executed on the execution ground today.

As for the old nobles who were in front of Xianyang Palace and prepared to gather a crowd to force the palace, they were forcibly driven back by Ying Zheng's people before Ying Yu could take action.

As public opinion in various parts of the Qin Dynasty continued to ferment, those wealthy and prominent families who had previously smeared Ying Yu also tasted the consequences.

The people were extremely angry at their actions to smear the prince.

So rotten eggs, feces, urine, etc. all went to these people's homes to greet them.

Every morning when I wake up, the houses of these wealthy families are in a mess.

Compared with the common people, the merchants did even better.

Countless businessmen united and blacklisted them directly.

Whether it was firewood, rice, oil, salt, or farming equipment, they had nowhere to buy it.

Even if they pay a sky-high price, no one is willing to sell it to them.

Under such circumstances, both the noble clans who opposed the favor order and the wealthy and distinguished families who smeared Ying Yu everywhere acted honestly.

...

Xianyang Palace, Qilin Palace!

"Your Majesty, although the land of Baiyue has been included in our Great Qin, the local people still have deep resentment towards our Great Qin.

I suggest that a person with high virtue and high respect should be sent to comfort him."

On the throne, Brother Zheng nodded.

The people of Baiyue had resentment towards the Qin Dynasty, and Ying Zheng knew this very well.

It's just that he doesn't have a good solution.

The reason for this is that when Baiyue was pacified previously, the two armies suffered heavy losses in the battle.

Especially when Tu Sui attacked Baiyue for the first time.

Because of the loss of troops and generals, Tu Sui often took out his anger on the local civilians in Baiyue.

This resentment is so easy to eliminate.

"Prince, do you have any countermeasures for this matter?"

As Ying Zheng spoke, the officials also looked at Ying Yu.

After all, in the eyes of Baiguan and Ying Zheng, controlling people's hearts is what Ying Yu is best at.

"Father, my son, I have a plan to appease the people of Baiyue."

Ying Yu stood up, came to the middle of the hall, and said respectfully.

"What's the plan? Tell me quickly."

Seeing that Ying Yu really had a solution, Brother Zheng also smiled.

"It's actually very simple, that is, let the people of Baiyue raise sheep."

"Raising sheep?"

Upon hearing Ying Yu's so-called strategy, both Ying Zheng and Baiguan were stunned.

Raising sheep can make the people of Baiyue completely forget their old grudges and truly join the Qin Dynasty?

No matter how you think about it, this is a bit unreliable.

If this strategy had come from other people's mouths, officials would probably have started to criticize it.

"Don't underestimate this sheep raising business."

"The fundamental reason why the people of Baiyue have never completely returned home is that their lives now are not much different from before."

"The people of Baiyue still live a difficult life. Coupled with the previous hatred, they will naturally be dissatisfied with Da Qin."

"To put it bluntly, they haven't seen any substantial benefits since they surrendered to Da Qin."

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

The original people of the Six Kingdoms also had resentment towards the Qin Dynasty, just like Baiyue.

However, with the popularization of various new policies and the development of business, people have led a better life.

Food is the most important thing for the people. Under such circumstances, their sense of identification with Da Qin has naturally become much stronger.

But, what does this have to do with raising sheep?

Looking at the confused expressions on the faces of Baiguan and Ying Zheng, Ying Yu smiled lightly and continued:

"Baiyue is mountainous and the roads are rugged and difficult to navigate. Agriculture cannot develop at all. Under such circumstances, if we want to drive Baiyue's economy, we can only rely on animal husbandry."

"According to Baiyue's unique geographical terrain, raising goats is the best choice."

"As long as various subsidy and preferential policies are implemented in the land of Baiyue, I believe that the people of Baiyue, who are good at taming animals, will definitely respond positively."

"Once more people raise sheep in the Baiyue Land, they will have an interest relationship with the imperial court."

"With interests as a tie-in, they will definitely not allow people who have dissatisfaction with Da Qin to cause trouble, otherwise their sheep will not be sold."

"In this way, it will only take a few years for Baiyue to stop making trouble."

"And all I, Da Qin, have to do is subsidize some money and buy the sheep they raise."

"In addition, we can also open official schools in Baiyue, allowing school-age children to study in schools, and popularize Qin language and culture."

Listening to the various strategies Ying Yu said, the officials were amazed.

As expected of His Highness the Crown Prince, as a food sheep, when His Highness the Crown Prince comes here, it can actually become a supreme weapon to stabilize the hearts and minds of the people of Baiyue.

They would never be able to think of this idea in their lifetime.

It’s okay if you don’t accept it.

"The prince's strategy of raising sheep to calm the people is a wonderful one. I will leave this matter to Prime Minister Feng. It must be implemented as soon as possible."

"promise!"

When Feng Quji saw this, he quickly stepped forward to take the order.

"Father, Baiyue is actually very rich in mineral deposits. There is no shortage of gold, silver, copper, iron ore, etc. It's just that the local people have limited skills and cannot mine them at all."

"Therefore, when the people of Baiyue settle down, we can definitely hire local residents to mine ore."

"When the time comes, our Great Qin will have a steady stream of minerals, and the people of the Baiyue Land will also increase their income and improve their lives. They will definitely be grateful to our Great Qin."

You must know that Baiyue today was in Jiangnan, Fujian and Guangdong and other places in later generations.

Need we say more about the economic potential of this place?

The most important thing is that by developing Baiyue, we can also develop a certain island where we lived a good life.

After all, the mineral deposits there are also very rich.

"Father, do you still remember the fairy island Xu Fu talked about?"

"Fairy Island?"

Upon hearing Xu Fu, a trace of anger flashed across Ying Zheng's face.

Thinking of the scene in which he was deceived by Xu Fu, Brother Zheng became furious.

As for the so-called fairy island, after obtaining the world map, Ying Zheng naturally knew that it did not exist at all.

"Exactly!"

"Father, this Xu Fu was originally from the Qi State. Later he became a disciple of the Yin Yang family and learned the so-called alchemy technique."

"The reason why I keep going overseas is actually to take the opportunity to bring the Qi royal family overseas to accumulate strength and hope to make a comeback."

"According to the information I received, those members of the royal family of the Qi Kingdom were taken to an island called Fusang Island by Xu Fu. They are probably still dreaming of restoring the Qi Kingdom at this moment."

Ying Zheng was furious when he heard this and immediately took action.

"No wonder, Xu Fu would ask me for a large amount of money every time he went to sea. It turned out to be this reason."
