Chapter 671
So Ying Yu naturally wouldn't blame them, after all, they were only limited by the times.
But on this matter, Ying Yu is quite different, Ying Yu has to consider many more things.
At the beginning, what Ying Yu had to solve was the problem of food and clothing for all the people in the world.
For Ying Yu, this problem was actually not a big problem, and it didn't take him long to solve it.
The goal that is really difficult to achieve, how can Daqin break through the barriers of the times.
This is what Ying Yu has been thinking about from the very beginning, but in the early years, Daqin at that time was too far away from the barriers of this era.
It would take time and time just to solve his own internal affairs, so Ying Yu didn't take this matter too seriously at the time.
These years have passed, and the internal problems of Daqin have almost all been resolved.
Daqin finally reached this threshold.
After everyone is fed and clothed, Daqin cannot stand still, nor can the people stop there, without other pursuits.
So this needs to leap to the next era.
It's just that at this moment, Daqin has reached the time to leap, but it doesn't mean that he already has the strength to leap.
This is what Ying Yu is worried about, and it is also the biggest challenge Da Qin is currently facing.
It's just that the importance of this matter is not clear to the people and ministers.
Amid everyone's doubts, Ying Yu first ordered someone to produce the data on the grain output of Daqin in the past ten years.
This is a statistical chart made by Ying Yu himself.
The initial data are relatively small, and the annual increase is not obvious.
But slowly, as Ying Yu took out various seeds, new farm tools, etc., and implemented various policies wantonly, Daqin's grain production also ushered in a peak.
Since then, Daqin's grain production has been steadily increasing until two years ago.
The numerical value and rising trend are intuitively reflected in this statistical table.
After Ying Yu personally explained, all the ministers gradually understood what Ying Yu wanted to express.
In the past two years, the output of Daqin's grain has been almost the same, and there has been no significant increase, or there has been no increase.
In terms of the current national conditions of Daqin, this is almost impossible, because farming tools are simpler and more convenient, and people's farming techniques are becoming more and more proficient.
In addition, there is no conscription in the local area, and there is no war in the country. Under such circumstances, the grain output of Daqin should definitely increase steadily as before.
However, in fact, this is not the case, if Ying Yu hadn't shown this number for comparison.
They don't have such a strong feeling yet, but after seeing this data at this moment, they finally understand one thing.
This matter is what Ying Yu wants to convey to them—Daqin's grain production has reached its upper limit.
The amount of grain produced by Daqin this year will not increase in the days to come, and may even decrease.
This is definitely not good news for the booming Daqin.
After all the ministers understood this, they also understood why Ying Yu was worried.
Because this matter is very likely to become a major problem that drags down large-scale development.
And this kind of problem is the most difficult to solve and deal with.
Because food production has reached the upper limit, this is not caused by a single reason.
In other words, if you take it apart and look at it separately, there is no problem at all in all links.
It is not because there is a problem in a certain link from top to bottom that it leads to such a result.
But there are only so many lands in the world, and so many things can be grown in the land. Although this is a major problem, it seems that there is no problem at all.
"Regarding this matter, do you all understand the seriousness?"
After Ying Yu's explanation, all the ministers present understood what Ying Yu wanted to express.
There is also a solution to this. In fact, after they understand the meaning, they all understand it in their hearts.
The things in my home have reached the upper limit, no matter how hard I try, it is impossible to get more.
If you want to improve, the simplest and most effective method is to directly rob other people's homes.
The reason is very simple, but if the matter is placed at the national level, it is not so simple.
But they knew that, naturally, at this moment, Ying Yu raised such a question, which meant that he must have already thought of a relative solution.
This is their emperor, and nothing will be brought up when it is just a question.
Immediately there were ministers who came out and respectfully asked Ying Yu how to deal with this matter.
This is naturally just a simple step, just for Ying Yu to express his thoughts naturally.
Ying Yu said loudly, "Since my Great Qin opened the sea, the fleet of long-distance voyages has circled the world. Week after week, I have discovered many places with rich supplies. These places can be used by my Great Qin."
Ying Yu continued to explain, so there are a lot of materials available, but at the same time, he also found countries other than Daqin, where the transportation of materials is far away.
And many times they need to pass by their country, and changes will inevitably occur midway after a long time.
In order to prevent this from happening, the best way is to make all the places along the way Daqin's own territory.
After Ying Yu finished speaking, all the ministers present understood that Ying Yu was going to use troops against other overseas countries.
At this time, there was indeed no problem with Ying Yu making such a decision.
Because Daqin at this moment is really very prosperous, there is no shortage of people, no shortage of money and food, and no shortage of anything.
And just at such a time, there is a target that can be conquered, so there is no problem or concern in using troops at this moment.
But at this moment, what everyone is worried about is that the previous wars were all on this land.
Even if there was a distant attack on the Xiongnu, and there was a very remote Mauryan Dynasty, but these are all on a piece of connected land, and they are all under the same world.
Now they want to leave this familiar land, set foot on the vast sea, and conquer places they have never even seen.
For ordinary people, this is a challenge in itself.
Facing the unknown, all people have a natural fear.
What the ministers are worried about at the moment is whether those unknown countries will have great power?
Daqin's army embarked on an expedition, and worked hard to conquer. If they encountered an invincible force, wouldn't everything be empty talk?
And if those powerful forces also discovered where Daqin was, would they attack Daqin in turn?
For them, these are real problems.
