Chapter 21 Chao Cuo
Nearly a month later, in the southwest outside Daqin,
This place is no longer in the official territory of Da Qin. It should have been a variety of woods.
But what you see now are mostly fields, with only the woods in the distance and some remaining tree roots on the ground.
It can be seen that this place was once a dense jungle.
But the thick smoke rising from time to time in the distance also indicates that this jungle may not last long and will eventually turn into fields.
With such rich nutrients, the crops in the fields grow extremely luxuriantly.
There are many hands working inside,
At this time, on a main road next to the field, groups of Qin troops were slowly advancing.
Seeing these Qin soldiers, the people who were working in the fields knelt down and worshiped.
This scene made Zhou Yafu in the Qin army a little puzzled, and said to Zhao Hao on the side,
"On such a hot day, these people have to work in the fields and kneel down directly in the fields, even if they are slaves. Are the laws here too strict?"
The people working in the fields here are not the people of Da Qin, but the slaves captured by Da Qin after it took control of this area.
Not that Zhou Yafu wanted to speak to these slaves, but he didn't have the leisure to do so.
But because within the mainland of Da Qin,
Even slaves cannot be abused at will. After all, they are property.
And in order to ensure consistency, even if this place is not officially included in the territory of Daqin and turned into a county, it must abide by the laws within Daqin.
Zhao Hao glanced at these people with an inexplicable expression, and couldn't help but think of something his father had said to him.
Speaking quickly,
"After all, this is still a wild land. The natives are wild and untamable, fierce and arrogant. They don't know much about etiquette, so we can only use strict laws to make them understand the rules first."
"Otherwise, no matter how kind we are to these people, they will not be grateful, but will bite us back once they have the opportunity."
Although Zhao Hao didn't know why his father could be so sure of the character of these people, he would not doubt it.
Because the stories he has heard about his father over the years can be said to be as accurate as a god.
Especially the grasp of human nature has reached its peak,
So when he saw these natives working hard, although he instinctively felt some sympathy in his heart,
But these thoughts were firmly suppressed by him.
Dad said that sympathy for friends and foes without distinction will only bring disaster to one's own people.
Hearing this, Zhou Yafu couldn't help but look at Zhao Hao and said with a smile,
"You are quite cruel,"
"But now that we are out of Daqin, I'm really not used to it."
He is a very disciplined person who pays attention to orders and prohibitions.
It should be the same here,
Moreover, when they were in Da Qin, no matter which county they were in, they had a strong sense of security. Now that they have left Da Qin, they always feel that something is missing.
So I always want to find some sense of familiarity,
Zhao Hao smiled and said,
"My dad... ahem, I heard from the government that all the land in the world is the land of the king,"
"Our Great Qin will eventually unify the world, so I don't think there is any difference."
Unify the world, end the chaos in this world, make the whole world unified, bring peace to the people of the world, and pool everyone's strength to create a more splendid civilization.
This is what his father often told him, because this is also Da Qin's mission.
Therefore, he will not feel depressed because he is outside the current territory of Daqin.
Hearing this, Zhou Yafu couldn't help but feel a little surge in his heart. He said,
"Brother Zhao said it well, people of my generation should have such a big heart!"
He values each other more and more now. He must make good friends with such a talent.
But before he can continue to deepen his relationship with the other party,
There was a burst of disdainful laughter from the side,
"I thought I had some great insights, but it turns out I just saw some superficial things."
Hearing this, Zhou Yafu suddenly frowned and looked to the side.
Zhao Hao also turned his head,
They found a young man who looked slightly younger than them, looking at them with disdain.
The two of them knew each other. Like them, they entered the new military camp together, named Chao Cuo.
It's just that the other party's personality is a bit surly, and the two parties are not very close.
Zhou Yafu is certainly not a shy person and never flinches. Speaking of,
"Chao Cuo, if you have any great opinions, just say it. Don't be arrogant."
"Still, don't you think this world should belong to me, Great Qin?"
Zhou Yafu directly slapped him with a hat.
Although Chao Cuo was young, he was extremely calm and said quickly,
"This world naturally belongs to me, Great Qin, but you only see the surface of the government's decrees,"
"Although this place is now controlled with strict punishments and laws, in fact, it is to prepare for the filling of the frontier,"
"As soon as this place is fully developed, the people who cannot accommodate it will be able to move here very smoothly."
"Although Great Qin now implements the integration and equality of all ethnic groups, if you want to maintain stability, you must have a main body, so the government encourages childbirth."
"But do you know how many new people will be added to the Qin Dynasty every year? Do you also know how much arable land will be added to the Qin Dynasty each year?"
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"If you continue to calculate this, how many years will it take for Da Qin to be unable to accommodate so many people?"
"Hmph, Your Majesty is planning for a hundred years from now. You are so short-sighted and you still want to conquer the world for Great Qin?"
These words were thrown at Zhou Yafu with a slap in the face, and Zhou Yafu was stunned for a moment.
He really didn't think so far now,
It's just that this is a bit difficult to live up to in terms of face. He was just about to get angry.
Zhao Hao on the side had already stood up and said with a smile,
"I was just being shallow, that's what Brother Chao said."
My father once said that you don’t need to pay too much attention to things like face.
Seeing Zhao Hao take the initiative to admit his mistake, Chao Cuo suddenly showed a victorious smile and said quickly,
"But you are still better than ordinary people. We can get along with each other more in the future."
These days, among these people, he likes these two people, so he did it intentionally just now.
Only by showing one's abilities can one convince the other party.
Zhou Yafu on the side also wanted to say something. At this time, a messenger rushed past and shouted,
"The camp ahead is resting, all ministries are reporting details and distributing medicines!"
After they arrived in the south, the army was already distributing medicines and starting to prevent and treat possible diseases.
This is also the essence of medicine. Preventing disease is better than curing it.
After hearing the order, all the Qin troops moved quickly, and naturally Zhao Hao and others did the same.
Start preparing to report the status of your respective teams,
At this time, a messenger headed directly towards the banner of the Great Qin God of War,
Not long after, under the banner of the Great Qin God of War, Hu Hai was pretending to understand the situation with Wang Li.
"What is the situation in the military today?"
