As Liu Chan spoke again, everyone's attention was attracted. Everyone was waiting for His Highness the Crown Prince's eloquent remarks and to see how Liu Chan would refute them one by one.

"If I remember correctly, the first person to speak was Qin Jijiu."Liu Chan smiled slightly,"Then let's start from Qin Jijiu's point of view."

"Appreciate further details."Qin Mi responded

"Qin Sacrifice Wine said that in the country of Sichuan, it is an objective fact that agriculture is developed. Emperor Taizu Gao obtained it and became the emperor of the Han Dynasty."

Liu Chan then asked:"I would like to ask, why didn't Taizu choose Shuzhong in the first place, but chose the relatively"poor" Hanzhong?"

Liu Bang was originally named the King of Han. Excluding Jingzhou, the territory was exactly the same as Liu Bei's now.

But Liu Bang did not choose the prosperous Shuzhong, but stayed in Hanzhong, with Nanzheng as his capital.

Before the officials could answer, Liu Chan asked himself He replied:"Because in Taizu’s eyes, although Shuzhong is good, it is nothing more than a granary!"

"Although Hanzhong is barren, it is adjacent to Guanzhong, and you can attack Guanzhong by crossing the Qinling Mountains!"

"Taizu's ambition is for the world! No matter how rich Shu is, can it still be richer than the whole world?"

"The Han and the thieves do not stand in harmony, and the king's industry does not take sides!"Liu Chan said in a loud voice:"This is what my father said, and it coincides with Taizu's move to make Nanzheng the capital!"

"Now that they have to withdraw to Chengdu, isn't it just a corner of peace? Has the father forgotten the ambition he set in the past?"

"Winning the Battle of Hanzhong is just the starting point for reviving the Han Dynasty, don't think of it as the end!"

Liu Chan's childish voice continued to echo in the hall, and other officials were silent.

Liu Bei, who was sitting on the throne, was even more shocked. He did not expect that his young son could say such words, and he was filled with joy at the same time. At least There is no need to worry that no one will inherit his legacy of reviving the Han Dynasty in a hundred years. Liu Bei is already sixty years old. To be honest, he is not confident that he can complete the great cause of unification in his lifetime. After all, he is facing Cao Cao.

Can he have an outstanding heir to succeed him? Career is undoubtedly a great joy for the elderly Liu Bei

"Everyone, sooner or later we have to make the Northern Expedition! Liu Chan paused for a moment and continued:"The road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to reach the sky.""

"The Battle of Hanzhong has been going on for two years, so everyone must be aware of the logistical difficulties."

"With Chengdu as the core, in the future Northern Expedition to Guanzhong, the logistics will first take the Shu Road, then the Qinling Mountains, and finally enter Guanzhong"

"With such a long logistics line, no matter how developed agriculture is in the Land of Abundance, 80% of the food will still be wasted on the road."

"Therefore, Chengdu must not be regarded as the royal city. The long and difficult logistics will greatly hinder the future Northern Expedition!"

As a time traveler, Liu Chan naturally knows the difficulty of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition. This eternal wizard was dragged down by logistics.

A large amount of food was wasted on the way, making Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition without any room for error. If there is a slight mistake, all previous efforts will be wasted!

Qin Mi's face Surprised and uncertain, he tried to refute Liu Chan.

But after opening his mouth for a long time, he couldn't say a word.

Chengdu was indeed agriculturally developed. Liu Chan did not deny it, but he refuted it based on the great cause of the Northern Expedition, explaining that Chengdu was too far in the rear.

The Northern Expedition! This is the political correctness of the Liu Bei Group.

You can never give up the great cause of the Northern Expedition for the sake of Chengdu.

Even if Qin Mi has a thousand words to say, he can never deny the Northern Expedition. He can only hold back what he says!

Liu Chan"does not forgive others", Continuing to pursue the victory, he said:"The country of Tianfu in the middle of Sichuan has developed agriculture and rich production. Unfortunately, the road to Shu is difficult. No matter how developed the agriculture is, no matter how much production it produces, it will be wasted on the way."

"Therefore, for the future Northern Expedition, agriculture in Hanzhong should be developed!"

"Only by restoring agricultural production in Hanzhong and allowing Hanzhong to continuously produce grain can we accumulate grain for the Northern Expedition and use it to supply the front line in the future."

"Instead of supplying grain and grass from Chengdu, which is thousands of miles away, I am afraid that when a stone of grain and grass reaches the front line, there will be at most one bucket left."

"Nine times out of ten, it is too wasteful, not to mention that transporting grain requires levying corvees and mobilizing a large number of manpower for transportation, which is expensive and laborious!"

As Liu Chan finished speaking, the sound of needles dropping could be heard in the hall. All the ministers were thoughtful and began to weigh the pros and cons.

Including Qin Mi, who was debating with Liu Chan, after listening to Liu Chan's long speech, he had to secretly admire him in his heart.

Taking the Northern Expedition as the starting point and based on the logistical difficulties, Chengdu's agricultural advantages were wiped out, highlighting Nanzheng's geographical advantages during the Northern Expedition.

"His Highness is far-sighted and his subordinates admire him."Qin Mi was convinced and unable to refute, so he could only retreat.

"offend."Liu Chan was polite and returned the favor politely.

There was no arrogance at all, which made Qin Mi, who had lost the debate, feel very comfortable. He couldn't help but respect the young prince.

Liu Bei smiled on his face and kept talking. Caressing his beard, he didn't expect his son to be able to refute Qin Mi.

You must know that Qin Mi is a famous scholar in Sichuan. He is very good at eloquence and is famous for his eloquence.

Today, he was defeated by Liu Chan. Liu Bei suddenly felt that his old face was more dignified, and he was afraid that the world would not be disordered. :"Next, next, whose turn is it to debate with the Crown Prince?"

"Your Majesty, it’s the last general’s turn."Wei Yan immediately got up and went out to the queue.

"Okay, Wen Chang will debate with the prince about military affairs, and let's see which one is better between Chengdu and Nanzheng. Liu Bei waved his hand and commanded.

"Here."Liu Chan and Wei Yan took the order in unison and looked at each other.
