Chapter 403 Feng Qu is seriously ill
Half a month later, replies came from Rome and Carthage successively, agreeing to all the conditions proposed by Daqin, and a new batch of ships loaded with gold, silver and copper coins were already on their way to Persia County.
When the news spread, the whole of Daqin boiled up again.
These days, due to compulsory education and various literacy training courses, as well as the guidance of newspapers and other propaganda media, the people of Daqin are no longer illiterate as before.
And in the newspapers, besides all kinds of business news, the most popular among the common people is the deeds promoting the Great Qin Tianwei.
Even ordinary people are now very clear that in this world, the only two Mediterranean powers that can barely compare with Great Qin are Rome and Carthage.
For the rest, Seleucus has been integrated into the Great Qin as the dowry of Princess Theia, and Ptolemaic Egypt and Macedonia have also completely become the vassals of the Great Qin. It is only a matter of time when they will be merged into the Great Qin.
This time, Rome and Carthage also knelt down to Da Qin.
3000 million shi of grain, in the old days, may be the sum of all grain stocks in Daqin.
However, today, it is only the annual harvest of a county in Hanzhong, and the annual grain harvest of Daqin has already exceeded [-] million shi!
Just last month, the whole of Daqin was still struggling with how to deal with the plummeting food prices.
Many people couldn't laugh or cry.
One day, I can worry about too much food, too much to eat, and no price to sell.
Fortunately, the plague of locusts raging in the Mediterranean soon made Daqin understand the importance of food again, and the price of food gradually returned to the level of two yuan per stone.
Although it is not as good as the three dollars and one stone in the past, due to the fact that the output has increased by at least five or six times, the harvest of the farmers has improved a lot compared to the past.
And in the newspaper, the various fine grain processing techniques introduced by the most admired His Royal Highness Ying Yu, as well as the vermicelli processing and brewing workshops that have sprung up one after another, made the farmers overjoyed.
His Highness really cared about the common people the most, and never forgot to seek the welfare of the common people.
The common people followed Ying Yu's teachings and began to rationally allocate crops in the fields, appropriately reduce staple food, and increase cash crops such as sugar cane and pepper, so as to increase their income in the coming year.
Many people simply gave up farming and went to work in vermicelli and wine making workshops closer to their homes, or started to try to run their own businesses.
All of these have made the common people fully feel the superiority of being born in the Great Qin, and their sense of national pride is unprecedentedly high.
The students of Daqin are also very happy.
Many students went to the government office to sign up one after another, hoping to join the Daqin Dianke Office and become the main force of the Daqin stationed in Rome and Carthage to supervise the distribution of food and promote Qin culture.
This is a great opportunity to truly contribute to Daqin!
The soldiers of the three armies also had a high fighting spirit.
Because they all understand very well the positive significance of these factors for Daqin's future conquest of the Mediterranean and the completion of the puzzle of the empire on which the sun never sets.
Above the court hall, there was even more joy.
"Hahaha, this time, His Royal Highness, only used 3000 million stones. I have accumulated a lot of old grains in my Daqin granary, and I don't know how to digest them. I bought so much from Rome and Carthage. benefit."
"The net profit from grain sales alone is more than [-] million yuan!"
"What excites me the most is that my Daqin products can be exempted from tariffs!"
"You know, the level of my Daqin workshop is much higher than that of Rome, Carthage and other countries. Once there is no tariff, even if it is transported thousands of miles, the cost will be much lower than their own production."
"Without tariffs, Daqin goods can completely defeat the local products of Rome and Carthage, and completely occupy the markets of Rome and Carthage!"
"Although the two countries have not yet been conquered, the Mediterranean Sea has completely become an economic colony of our Great Qin!"
"And the personnel who supervise the distribution of food are the best way for us, Daqin, to investigate the details of the two countries and conduct intelligence work in the two countries!"
"As long as the publicity is good, ordinary people in Rome and Carthage will be extremely grateful for Daqin's 'relief' for their benevolence, and yearn for Daqin even more. After becoming the ruler in the future, they will directly gain a group of loyal supporters."
"My Great Qin's pace of conquering these two countries can be accelerated a lot again!"
All the civil and military ministers were happily discussing the huge gains for Rome and Carthage this time, imagining a bright future.
Even Ying Zheng is no exception.
Back then when Ying Yu proposed the idea of an empire on which the sun never sets, to make all the land where the sun shines become the land of Qin, although Ying Zheng was looking forward to it, he also had a lot of regrets.
Because from Ying Zheng's point of view, although Great Qin is developing extremely rapidly, it will still take a long time to unify the world.
In your lifetime, it is very likely that you will not be able to see it.
However, no one would have imagined that in just a few years, Daqin has become so powerful.
For the empire on which the sun never sets, the big jigsaw puzzle has been basically completed. All that remains is to wait for the opening of the Suez Canal, solve Rome and Carthage, and then stabilize it.
Once realized, the name of Yingzheng, the one emperor through the ages, will be thoroughly recorded in the annals of history.
With such supreme glory, even the emperor with such determination as the first emperor couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
Looking at Ying Yu's gaze, he became more and more satisfied and relieved.
However, when the court was full of joy and harmony, Zhang Han suddenly walked in with a dignified look on his face.
"what's up?"
Ying Zheng said sternly.
It is definitely not a trivial matter to make Zhang Han like this.
"Return to Your Majesty, the latest news from the Black Ice Terrace, Feng Shangshu suddenly passed out at home, I'm afraid it's..."
After Zhang Han's words fell, the joy on the faces of the courtiers disappeared immediately.
Although Zhang Han didn't go on, everyone understood the meaning behind it.
Feng Quji, I'm afraid it will die.
"Let's say, Xia Wuqi!"
Ying Zheng on the throne also changed slightly.
Feng Quji's contribution to Great Qin is definitely one of the best.
The Feng family also has absolute loyalty to Daqin.
If the Wang family and the Meng family are the two pillars of the Great Qin military, then the Feng family is the pillar of the Great Qin civil servants.
Although Feng Quji has retired, his influence is still there.
Whether in public or private, Ying Zheng did not want Feng Quji to leave.
However, Feng Quji is over [-] years old after all, which is definitely a long life in Daqin.
Subconsciously, Ying Zheng glanced at Ying Yu.
But then he shook his head. Birth, old age, sickness and death are destiny. It is estimated that Ying Yu will no longer have that heaven-defying magic medicine.
