Da Qin: Destroyed the Xiongnu at the beginning

"Sure enough, in this world, strength speaks for itself after all!"

After receiving the news from Zhang Liang's flying pigeon, Fusu Xiangjiao showed a smile and said.

Da Qin became famous all over the world because of its great victory over Rome.

This will not only increase Da Qin's reputation and influence, but also It has brought extremely rich benefits to Daqin.

Although the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean Sea are not directly navigable, Persian County can play the role of a transit station and form the Maritime Silk Road from Daqin-Persian County-Mediterranean Sea.

Once navigation is available, Persian County's Business will inevitably take off directly, bringing huge benefits to Great Qin, and at the same time expanding Great Qin's influence in the surrounding areas.

Not to mention, the people of the Seleucid Kingdom will definitely yearn for Great Qin even more, just like the people of Tu'an Kingdom back then I am overjoyed to integrate into Da Qin.

At the same time, it can also attract more Da Qin people to immigrate to Persia County and increase the population proportion of Qin people.

In particular, neighboring countries such as Carthage are now asking for help from Da Qin, and Da Qin can definitely let them join Da Qin. Among the business alliances dominated by China, it has obtained the preferential policies of the unilateral best-treating country.

Da Qin’s great voyage can take another big step forward.

"In this case, one Songhai city is definitely not enough, and several more port cities must be built, which can not only give full play to the role of the Grand Canal, but also revitalize Jiangnan in advance"

"If sea trade develops greatly, the customs can also consider starting preparations. This will be the core of Daqin's future revenue growth. Fusu studied the map for a long time and said.

Under the command of Han Xin, the East Lake Cavalry also won consecutive battles against the Maurya Dynasty. Not only did they conquer dozens of cities and plunder tens of millions of money, they also captured more than 100,000 coolies. Millions of people.

These Mauryan coolies have accelerated the construction of the Grand Canal, and it will be completed in one year at most.

After the Grand Canal is opened to navigation, the inland areas of Guanzhong will be able to pass through this artery and be closely connected with the coastline. Connected.

The extremely fertile Jiangnan area in later generations can also be developed in advance.

The best way to develop Jiangnan is to open up the sea and build ports to drive the surrounding economy through maritime trade.

Moreover, the current seaports in Daqin are mainly concentrated in Qilu Although Songhai City in the region is very close to Tu'an and Fuso Island, it is not as convenient as opening a route to Persia County as from the south of the Yangtze River.

Fusu thought for a while and quickly started writing.......

The next day, in the court hall.

Ying Zheng showed the plan submitted by Fu Su to all the important officials in the court, and there was a smile on his face.

The content of the plan is actually very simple. In order to manage Daqin's maritime trade more effectively, it is recommended to establish a Daqin Customs Department to specifically manage import and export trade, directly under the management of the Internal Affairs Bureau.

One of the newly established tasks of the Customs Department is to select several excellent ports to open sea along the southern coast of Daqin to promote the development of surrounding economies through maritime trade.

Ying Zheng, who likes to study world maps in his spare time, knows very well that in terms of distance, the Jiangnan area is actually closer to Persia and other areas.

It's just that Da Qin's previous focus has always been in the north, and the only seaport it could get was Songhai City.

But after the Grand Canal is completed, Daqin's economic center of gravity will gradually shift to the Jiangnan area, and it will be a matter of course to select several ports in the south of the Yangtze River.

Not to mention much, just shortening the navigation distance to the newly incorporated enclave of Persia County was enough for Ying Zheng to make up his mind.

"The veteran believes that what His Highness said is indeed very reasonable. Nowadays, the maritime trade of our country in Daqin is developing very rapidly. Only Songhai City is already overwhelmed. It is indeed time to expand a few more ports!"

"In my opinion, Kuaiji County is a very good choice!"

"You can even consider Nanhai County. According to the map, it is the closest to Persian County!"

"It is indeed a good choice to separate sea trade import and export from Daqin's internal trade to facilitate management."

"After the customs is established, the import and export tax rates can be set separately, and the income can also be increased a lot."

The civil and military officials also spoke out one after another.

With the continuous development of Great Qin's business, in order to keep up with the trend of the times, the civil and military officials also secretly gained a lot of knowledge about business. Now their horizons have improved a lot. Naturally. We can see the advanced nature of Fusu’s proposal.

"However, this customs is a brand new department. There is a lack of talents in this field in the Internal Affairs Bureau, and His Highness needs to support a few more people."

Neishiteng said with a smile.

As the Great Qin treasury gradually filled up, he, the old bitter melon who was famous in the court before, smiled more and more.

When people are in good spirits at happy events, he looks much younger. few

"I second the motion!"

Meng Yi and others also nodded repeatedly.

They have long been envious of the talents in Prince Fusu's mansion.

Xiao He, Chen Ping, Zhang Liang, Han Xin, these previously unknown people, after being discovered by Fusu, became They all burst out with incomparable brilliance.

Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, etc. are also good candidates for generals.

It makes people so envious that they want to drool.

"You poachers have actually landed on my side."

"However, the customs matter is indeed of great importance."

"The prince has complied with everyone's wishes and nominated Xiao He as the first director of customs! Fusu said with a smile.

Calculating the time, Xiao He has been with him for almost a year, and he has made rapid progress. It’s time to go out and experience it.

After planning the overall situation in the Prince’s Mansion for a long time, going to the customs to take charge of it alone will allow Xiao He to achieve it earlier. Even surpassing historical levels

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Nei Shi Teng was overjoyed.

Xiao He's talents, as a Zhi Su Nei Shi who often went to the Prince's Mansion for advice, could not be clearer.

Even Ying Zheng's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

Then a smile appeared on his face. The meaning became even stronger.

Li Si and Feng Quji were both very old, but among the ministers in the court, only Meng Yi had the ability to take over the position of prime minister.

Now Fusu is willing to let Xiao He go If Fusu comes out, there is no need to worry about the other position.

Moreover, the relationship between the two of them and Fusu is very good, and there is no need to worry about conflicts in the future after Fusu succeeds to the throne. Ying Zheng is satisfied with Fusu as his successor. No, we have already paved the way in Fusu.

"What remains now is the question of where to open the sea and build the port!"

Ying Zheng smiled and glanced at Fusu Dao

"Erchen thought that since the opening of the sea is to promote the construction of maritime trade in our Daqin, it is better to inspect more areas so that all counties and counties in Daqin can participate in the discussion."

"With the collective efforts, there may be better suggestions."

"And it can also make the people of Qin better understand the importance of the ocean. Fusu said with a slight smile.

How could he miss such a good opportunity to popularize marine education for all?

Ying Zheng was immediately more satisfied.
