Daqin: Check in at the beginning of 18 and ask Zulong to abdicate

"Your Majesty, what is this popcorn made of?"

After eating rice crackers several times in a row, Dongfang Bubai asked with great interest.

"It's made from corn."

Ying Zigao smiled slightly.

"Corn? Is it the new species that His Majesty asked the gardeners to cultivate in the Imperial Garden of Shu County?"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but tighten his face.

"Yes." Ying Zi Gao hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

As he spoke, he filled another spoonful of popcorn.It was sent to the mouth of Dongfang Bubai.

"Your Majesty, how can you waste food like this?"

Dongfang Bubai stretched out his small hand, and gently pushed Ying Zigao's spoon away.

With a serious face, he said: "Your Majesty, this corn is a new species, and it will be used as a staple food in the future and promoted to all parts of Daqin!"

While talking, Dongfang Bubai said to Ying Zigao with a serious face: "It's hard to cultivate successfully, these seeds should be cherished even more, they should be well preserved, and they will be promoted to all parts of the country in the spring of next year!

What a waste that you make so many seeds into snacks! "

hear this.Ying Zigao couldn't help frowning slightly.

I originally planned to use fresh snacks like popcorn to coax Dongfang Bubai well.

I didn't expect this bitch to educate herself!
But after thinking about it carefully, what this girl said makes a lot of sense.

Although the imperial garden in Shu County had a good harvest of cultivated corn.

However, as a new species of corn, the seeds are still quite precious.

"Eastern Invincibility, what you said makes sense."

Only then did Ying Zigao nod his head and said, "I'll just listen to you and stop using corn to make popcorn."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Dongfang Bubai hurriedly said seriously.

"But these popcorns have already been made, and it's a waste if you don't eat them!"

As Ying Zigao was talking, he brought the spoon to Dongfang Bubai's mouth again, and said softly, "Come on, be obedient, eat more!"

Dongfang Bubai wanted to refuse the delicious popcorn when he saw it.

But when he smelled the refreshing sweet smell, he couldn't help but open his cherry mouth, ate the popcorn in one bite, and chewed vigorously.

"Do you like it?" Ying Zigao hurriedly asked, looking at Dongfang Bubai's gluttonous appearance.

"I like it." Dongfang Bubai chewed on the popcorn and said inarticulately.

"When spring begins next year, the troops stationed in Saibei will sow the corn, and the harvest will be bumper in summer, and the corn will no longer be precious."

Ying Zigao said seriously: "At that time, I will change my ways. Let people make various snacks for you to eat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Dongfang Bubai said hastily.

Before he knew it, Dongfang Bubai ate up a large plate of popcorn.

Looking at the clean plates that have been eaten.Dongfang Bubai couldn't help blushing, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine has finished eating the popcorn, and you haven't eaten yet..."

"As long as you eat happily." Ying Zigao said softly and indifferently.

While talking, he picked up the kettle, poured Dongfang Bubai a bowl of warm water, and said, "If you eat too much popcorn, you will feel thirsty. Let's drink some water first."

Feeling Ying Zigao's sincere love and concern, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but his heart jumped.

A pretty face turned red with embarrassment, and a pair of big eyes became tender. Holding the cup with both hands, she looked at Ying Zigao seriously.

"Why are you looking at me?" Ying Zigao hurriedly said, "Drink water!"

Only then did Dongfang Bubai agree, picked up the water glass, and drank the water gracefully.

That elegant and gentle movement is like that of a weak girl, without any chivalrous style at all!

Ying Zigao saw it, and felt awkward no matter how he looked at it.

Dongfang Bubai drank the water slowly, sat beside Ying Zigao again with a calm face, and asked softly: "Your Majesty, since you think it's reasonable for my concubine, is it true that as soon as the naval army is built, we will Put it into practice?"

"Not so fast." Looking at Dongfang Bubai's quiet and weak face, Ying Zigao felt even more uncomfortable.

But he still calmed down and said seriously: "You have to eat food one bite at a time, and you have to do things one by one. You can't become a big fat man with one bite!"

Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but his face tightened.He looked at Ying Zigao questioningly.

Ying Zigao went on to say: "My idea is to proceed in three steps.

The first step is to set up a navy in a steady and steady manner.Build an ocean-going fleet with flying clippers and schooners as the main force, an offshore fleet with Guangzhou Ship, Fuchuan and sand ships as the main force, and an inland river fleet with sand ships and car ships as the main force! "

Dongfang Bubai listened seriously, and then asked, "What's next?"

"The next step is to launch a large-scale conquest against Baiyue with the navy as the main force, together with the land army!"

Ying Zigao said seriously: "Use the advantage of the navy to quickly capture the land of Nanyue, the rich land of the coastal plain! Take it in one fell swoop, cut off the food and grass of the Baiyue people, and march north and south with the land army, and calm down the Baiyue in one fell swoop. cross!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Dongfang Bubai couldn't help getting excited when he heard this, and said hastily.

"The third step is to stabilize the land of Baiyue, use the land of Baiyue as a base, and continue to march south. Gradually conquer the rich lands in the south of Baiyue. Control the key points of sea traffic!"

Ying Zigao went on to say: "At the same time, send out ocean caravans to start trade with Tianzhu, as well as Persia, Fulin, and Western countries in the west.

Exchange food, specialties, fresh crops and species from these countries, and gain their knowledge and culture through exchanges! "

Hearing this, Dongfang Bubai's eyes became even more excited.

He really didn't expect that the man in front of him had such a broad vision!
His eyes not only saw the land of Baiyue, but south of Baiyue, places like Tianzhu, he also saw the farther away Persia and Taixi!

Not only saw the food specialties of these places, but also saw the fresh products, crops, and even knowledge and culture of these places!
Thinking of this, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but admire Ying Zigao even more!
Looking at Ying Zigao's eyes, it was full of love and admiration.

"This is just my idea." Looking at Dongfang Bubai's admiring and admiring eyes, Ying Zigao was very pleased.

Busy said: "To realize these dreams, in addition to building a powerful navy, the more important thing is to maintain the stability and prosperity of Daqin!"

Hearing this, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help nodding his head repeatedly, and his voice became softer: "Yes, Your Majesty, only when the interior is stable can we have the energy to expand and manage externally!"

"So my top priority is to vigorously build government-run salt farms and government-run iron smelting workshops."

Ying Zigao said: "Expand the court's income and increase the court's financial resources!"
