Da Qin: Destroyed the Xiongnu at the beginning

Xianyang City, Prince's Mansion

"Could we give more thought to the construction of the Northern Grand Canal?"

Meng Yi raised the same doubts as Shi Teng and others on the dragon boat.

"How much does Doctor Meng know about Liaodong?"

Fusu asked with a smile.

Meng Yi suddenly smiled awkwardly.

As a censor, Meng Yi's main responsibility is to monitor all officials in the world. He is far less knowledgeable about the counties and counties in Da Qin than Li Si. His impression of Liaodong is winter. It was extremely cold, unable to go out at all, and the black soil was extremely fertile.

The latter point came from Fusu’s introduction.

But soon, Meng Yi realized that even he, a high-ranking imperial censor, was not interested in Liaodong. I don’t know much about it, let alone the rest of Da Qin.

"Does His Highness hope to attract the attention of the people of Daqin through the Northern Grand Canal project, so as to stimulate their enthusiasm for relocation to Liaodong?"

Meng Yi asked tentatively

"This is why the large-scale development of Liaodong region is not only to achieve a balance between the north and the south, but also for the future of our country, Daqin"

"more important���, the potential contained under the black soil in the Liaodong region is really enough to accelerate the development of Great Qin again."

Fusu said with a slight smile.

As a time traveler, Fusu is very aware of the richness of Liaodong in the broad sense of the Qin Dynasty, that is, the three eastern provinces in later generations.

This black land is not only extremely fertile, but also contains minerals, especially non-ferrous metals. Metals, as well as coal, oil and other energy sources, are at the forefront in the entire Daqin territory.

Coupled with the numerous plains, it can be said to be the best area for the development of heavy industry.

What is lacking is the transportation environment and the most basic It's just population.

As soon as the Grand Canal is opened and the cement straight road is being built, the transportation factor will be improved soon.

As for the population, it will depend on migration from various parts of Daqin.

And if you want the people in counties and counties in Daqin to actively To move to the Northeast, it is necessary to create enough sensation throughout the Qin Dynasty to make more people in the Qin Dynasty realize the potential of the Liaodong region.

Therefore, Fusu must build the Northern Grand Canal.

Even in later generations, the water transportation capacity will be It is better than land transportation, let alone Daqin, which is dominated by horse-drawn carriages.

Even though the rubber tires have begun trial operation, which has improved the carrying capacity and passing capacity of the horse-drawn carriages, it is still far from being able to satisfy the vigorous development of Daqin. transportation needs.

To solve the problem, we still have to rely on waterways.

Unless the Engineering Academy can suddenly develop a steam engine and improve it to the extent that it can drive a steam train, otherwise the land transportation volume will not be able to make a leap. improve

"His Highness wants to build the Northern Grand Canal, Xiao He can understand"

"But Your Highness, can this fundraising from the private sector really raise enough funds?"

"If it is not enough, it can only be borne by the national treasury. Although it is not unbearable, it will inevitably crowd out investment in other projects."

Xiao He pondered for a long time and said

"You still underestimate the current energy of our people in Great Qin.

Fusu said with a smile:"Now there are thirty million people in Da Qin alone. Ten coins per person is thirty million coins, which is enough to build a grand canal.""

"What's more, with the rapid development of commerce, many people in Da Qin have gradually become rich."

"Taking Xianyang New City as an example, many people have repaid their loans in advance and still have room to further renovate their homes, and are even beginning to consider buying more homes."

"Just a common person in Xianyang City can easily raise tens of millions of dollars in spare funds."

"These funds cannot be turned into more money if they are kept in the treasury. Although they are safe in banks, there is no interest. Why can't they be attracted to the large-scale construction of Liaodong?"

"And only by truly investing in Liaodong can people pay more attention to Liaodong and increase their enthusiasm for immigrating to Liaodong, and can Liaodong be truly developed."

Fusu smiled slightly and pulled out a Liaodong mineral report compiled by the exploration team of the Engineering Academy from the table.

During Fusu's previous lottery draw, he had obtained several Daqin mineral drawings. Coupled with Fusu's memory, the Engineering Academy had made great progress in Liaodong. The region has made great gains.

Among them are many rich minerals that can be mined directly under the current conditions of Daqin.

Meng Yi and Xiao He quickly gathered together and carefully read the Liaodong mineral report, and soon their faces were filled with surprises Then the two of them looked at Fusu with admiration.

As expected of His Highness the Crown Prince, it would be difficult for Great Qin and Liaodong not to take off.......

With the publication of the new issue of"Da Qin Daily", the entire Da Qin once again became a sensation.

"What, the Jiangnan Grand Canal has just been opened, and the Liaodong Grand Canal is going to be built?"

"Although this Grand Canal is a good thing, the ship carrying capacity is hundreds or thousands of times greater than that of the land route, but there must be demand. What can be found in the poor place of Liaodong that is worthy of opening a Grand Canal?"

"You must be ignorant, right? The imperial court's exploration team, under the guidance of His Royal Highness, has discovered several large mineral deposits in Liaodong. The iron ore alone is enough for Da Qin to use it for hundreds of thousands of years.!"

"It is said that the largest iron mine has reserves of tens of millions of stones!"

"Even the peninsula north of Tuan has a lot of iron ore!"

"In addition to iron ore, Liaodong has a lot of oil needed for kerosene lamps, various sandstones needed for cement concrete, raw materials needed for colored glaze, and even gold."

"Once these minerals are developed, Liaodong will really be filled with treasures!"

"Who dares to say that Liaodong is a broken place?"

"That is, His Royal Highness’s plan to build the Grand Canal must be of sufficient importance. How could he be wrong?"

The people gathered around the newspaper and whispered, and were soon shocked by the richness and natural beauty of Liaodong described in the newspaper.

It turned out that this piece of black land was ignored by most people and was frozen in winter. Underneath, there are so many treasures, waiting for the entire Qin Dynasty to explore. So many minerals, even if they are just excavated and transported back to the Central Plains and Jiangnan area for sale, are countless wealth.

The people were immediately aware of We have sufficient understanding of the necessity of the Liaodong Grand Canal.

Not to mention, the proposal of the Liaodong Grand Canal came from Fusu.

With Fusu's highest reputation in the hearts of the people of Daqin, even if he did not explain the necessity, Many people will subconsciously choose to support it, not to mention that it is still painting such a broad prospect.

Many people are suddenly interested in Liaodong.

And what surprises the people even more is yet to come.
