Chapter 1831

"In the vast lands of Zhenyueze and Wulan Mountain, if each mu produces three shi of grain, and three hundred thousand people are migrated, within five years, one million shi of grain can be stored!"

Once these words were spoken.

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes suddenly lit up.

Gao Yang's idea coincided with hers!

Using this piece of land in Hexi just for raising horses and grazing is simply a waste!

In Wu Zhao's eyes, the Hexi region is too suitable for farming!

Storing millions of shi of grain in five years—this number is simply too tempting!

Wu Zhao tapped the stone table with her fingers, rhythmically, and her phoenix eyes stared tightly at Gao Yang, "The Chancellor's words are very much to my liking!"

"But this point, Physician Yan and Scholar Cui also submitted memorials to me, coincidentally, but if we want to farm, it is not that simple!"

"The first and foremost is the threat of the Xiongnu cavalry!"

"If you, Chancellor, can strike into Hexi silently, then it is even simpler for the Xiongnu!"

"If this point is not solved, then even if I farm in Hexi and have a bumper harvest every year, storing a million shi of grain, it will just be making a wedding dress for the Xiongnu Great Chanyu!"

When Wu Zhao said this, her eyes were extremely urgent.

This was also the problem that troubled her the most.

The Xiongnu cavalry come and go like the wind; in terms of familiarity with the desert and the Hexi region, the Xiongnu are far superior to Da Qian.

If this point is not solved, how can we farm?

Regarding this.

Gao Yang smiled lightly and said to Wu Zhao, "Your Majesty may not know that the Hexi Corridor is only a few miles to over a hundred miles wide from north to south. If we build a 'beacon chain' at the mountain passes of Canglan Mountain and He Li Mountain, and cooperate with 'earth listening' (burying pottery jars to listen to hoofbeats), we can fully warn several hours in advance!"

"And with the special terrain of the Hexi region, we can fully cast a Great Wall to defend against the Xiongnu, adapting to local conditions to create a composite defense system!"

"Cast a Great Wall to defend against the Xiongnu?"

"Chancellor, how do you explain this?"

Wu Zhao leaned forward, asking with urgency.

Gao Yang looked straight ahead, smiled, and said, "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. I have already prepared a foolproof strategy for you to control Hexi!"

"This strategy is called—Severing the Xiongnu's Arm, Establishing Da Qian's Might!" ===== CHAPTER 1833 =====
