Time is like flowing water, and before you know it, a month has passed.

The cabinet has been operating normally, and the four of Shang Ying have to review the notes in the cabinet every day, and when they encounter indecisive matters and discuss with Ying Zheng, some non-urgent matters will be proposed by Ying Zheng to discuss with the ministers at the court meeting.

In terms of government affairs, there are four Shang Ying to deal with, the military has General Meng Fu in charge, Wu Anjun is white, and a number of veterans such as Sima Cuo and Wang Yi are also in good order.

Ying Zheng, the king, has lived a very chic life, and in the past half a year, he has either accompanied Wu Jue out of the palace to play, or went to the workshop outside Dongcheng with Zheng He to see the progress of papermaking, and has successfully made the first piece of paper, which is a little rough and needs to be improved. This matter is what Ying Zheng is more concerned about, and the appearance of paper has a great impact on many of his plans.

There is another thing that Ying Zheng is also very concerned about, that is, the mechanism of Lu Ban in the inner mansion is used for the study of cultivated land, he has been to the inner mansion several times, and he has seen Lu Ban make a lot of things. According to Lu Ban, his research has made great progress, at least in January, at most in March, he will develop the first ploughing machine, which is named - ploughing plow.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh, a master is a master, and he has made such progress in just half a month, and Lu Ban's ability makes him admire.

When Ying Zheng ascended the throne, he proposed the formation of the House of Elders in the court, and the news has spread to all counties and counties of Qin State, and has received the crazy support of the people.

A month ago, a major event occurred in Qin, Jinyang Yingxi raised troops to make a rebellion, Yingzheng ordered Mengwu, the son of Meng Fu, to be the commander of the Chinese army, Wang Jian of the upper army and Huo Qubing of the lower army, two generals, commanded by Mengwu, a total of 100,000 soldiers went to Jinyang to suppress the rebellion.

Huo Qubing is the fourth hero recruited by Ying Zheng, his military talent, only the army is his belonging, and he did not disappoint Ying Zheng, only two years after entering the army, he relied on his military merits to achieve the fifteenth level of the twentieth rank lord system "less Shangzao", it can be said that Qin has been the fastest promoted person since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, there is no one, and Bai Qi has taken a fancy to it, and this time the leader is recommended by Bai Qi again and again, otherwise it is not enough to lead an army with his lack of Shangzao.

Now the news is that Yingxi has been exterminated, and the army is temporarily left in Jinyang to stabilize the situation, and soon the division will return to the court. However, this time, the merits of the commanders of the three armies and the ordinary soldiers have been transmitted back to Xianyang along with the news, and according to General Meng Fu, Wang Jian and Huo Qubing have performed extraordinary.

The credit of the two is enough for them to go further, and Meng Fu means that both of them are only in their early twenties, and they have already shown excellent military talents, which makes him can't help but look sideways, and wants them to hone for a few more years.

Ying Zheng still didn't agree, of course, for some people, it was more training and accumulation, which didn't make much sense for Huo Quzhi, who was born to be a genius of the army, and he had already participated in the war of the Han Dynasty to attack the Xiongnu before he was summoned, and worshiped the hussar general with his military merits and was named "Champion Hou". What he lacks is not training, but military merit that can allow him to truly take charge of an army.

Xianyang Palace! Imperial Garden! Pondside!

Ying Zheng, who was wearing a black royal robe, had a pair of small hands behind him, two eyebrows raised high, and a pair of calm and decisive eyes under the sword eyebrows, revealing a trace of domineering, which made people dare not look directly.

"Your Majesty, the general is waiting outside the Imperial Garden!" Zhao Gao walked briskly into the Imperial Garden and bowed to Yingzheng.

"Biography"

"No"

Zhao Gao turned around and left, his pace was a little faster than when he came, if there was a martial arts master here, he would definitely be able to see that his skills were extraordinary.

Meng Fu walked on the road of the Imperial Garden, looking at the young figure at the end of the road, every time he faced Yingzheng, he would have a trace of fear and awe, and a look could make his heart "pound".

"Minister, Mengfu greets the king!"

"The old general is polite, I invite the general to come today, because I have something to discuss with the general!" Ying Zheng said indifferently.

"Please show the king?" Meng Fu had a bad feeling in his heart.

"The general thinks that Qin Lu: the defeat is fruitless, and the dead and wounded are only compensated. Is it reasonable for a soldier to kill the enemy and behead him without a title, and if he has no glory, he will bear infamy, and the leading generals will be cut off from the knighthood and put on the throne, and the head will be imprisoned and killed, is it reasonable?"

Hearing this, Meng Fu was shocked, looked around in horror, and saw that no one was relieved.

This law was set when Shang Ying changed the law, and for a hundred years, it has stimulated the morale of the Qin army, and it has long become an iron law that no one dares to talk about it.

As a general, he did not dare to talk about this law lightly, and Yingzheng, as the king of Qin, would definitely attract criticism if his words were learned by the people and courtiers.

Ying Zheng didn't wait for him to answer and continued: "Xu Wei is not allowed to lose, there are a few people in the world who can do it, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, involving all aspects, how can the fault be borne by the commander of the army and his soldiers." Although victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, it is the monarch and ministers of a country who should consider winning more and losing less, or only winning and not defeating. In addition to external reasons, there are also internal reasons for defeat, such as: some generals are good at attacking cities, some are good at killing in the field, and so on. These are the different abilities of the generals, in order to let the generals give full play to their abilities, Lone decided to abolish the General's Mansion and build another pavilion called the Military Aircraft Pavilion. ”

Meng Fu listened attentively and felt that what Yingzheng said was reasonable, but the abolition of the General's Mansion was unacceptable to him, not only because he held the position of the general, but also because the General's Mansion had a major stake, and it would affect the whole body, and if it was not handled well, it would really be in danger of overthrowing the country.

Meng Fu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the General's Mansion is in charge of the country's soldiers and horses, and the consequences of a careless accident are unpredictable." ”

Everyone has selfishness, some people know what is public and what is private, and some people only know their own interests. As a veteran of the Three Dynasties, Meng Fu fought countless battles for the Qin State, made many achievements, and devoted himself to the public since he became a general. Ying Zheng understands that he is really thinking about this country, not all for his own rights.

"What the general said, Lone naturally thought for a long time, and asked the old general to listen to Lone talk about the military machine pavilion first. The Military Aircraft Pavilion is one of the two cabinets under the orphan, with one cabinet master, two deputy cabinet masters, and nine military aircraft ministers. Military Aircraft Pavilion: First, it is in charge of all military affairs of the Qin State; second, it is in charge of the selection of generals throughout the country, military registration, military orders, post stations, and other matters; third, the garrison of the border troops of the Qin State is deployed by the Military Aircraft Pavilion; and fourth, the military aircraft pavilion will formulate strategic arrangements for the army's future foreign campaigns. Fifth, the Military Aircraft Pavilion can recommend the general of the unified army to Lone according to different combat missions. ”

The military aircraft pavilion is the enhanced version of the general's mansion, the original border garrison was under the jurisdiction of the prime minister's mansion, and the external strategic deployment needs the prime minister's mansion, the general's mansion, the court captain's mansion, etc.

Meng Fu thought for a moment, the establishment of the Military Aircraft Pavilion is indeed conducive to the military operations of the Qin State, garrisoning, etc., entering the Military Aircraft Pavilion basically does not need to lead the army to fight, he is already old, if he leads the army to fight and win, it is good, if he is accidentally defeated, the consequences of defeat even if he is a general are not so easy to bear, the cabinet is established, with his own qualifications and ability, it is more than enough to serve as a deputy cabinet master, and no matter how good the Minister of Military Aircraft is able to serve, compared with leading the army to fight, it is much better.

Meng Fu was a little worried: "Your Majesty, the ministers have no objections, and it may be difficult for the court to pass it!"

"I have a way to do this, I don't know if General Meng is willing to go to the Military Aircraft Pavilion to serve as the cabinet master. Give advice to my Great Qin. Ying Zheng looked at Meng Fu and said lightly.

Meng Fu once attacked Korea and set up Sanchuan County for Qin, attacked Zhao Yuci, Xincheng, Langmeng and other places, and took 37 cities; and captured Zhao Chongzhen Jinyang, and merged Taiyuan County. How many cities have been captured for the Qin State, and his ability and qualifications to serve as the master of the Military Aircraft Pavilion are very suitable.

"King Xie values the old minister so much, how does the old minister recommend Wei Ran as the pavilion master?" I am still very grateful to Ying Zheng for letting him join the military aircraft pavilion as the pavilion master, this king is not the one who unloads the mill and kills the donkey.

Wei Ran once raised Bai Qi as a general, attacked the city to the east, defeated the "Three Jins" and Qiang Chu, and had outstanding achievements, shocking the princes, "Baohe Mountain, surrounding the Great Liang, so that the princes could do Qin with their hands"

Wei Ran served as the fourth minister of Qin, Wen Ke handled government affairs, and Wu Neng led troops to fight, so it was very suitable for such a person to be the pavilion master.

"The marquis is indeed the most suitable candidate, since the old general Meng is unwilling, the old general will take the position of deputy cabinet master, the old general has rich experience in leading troops to fight, and there are a few people who can compare with the ability to use soldiers. Lone still has to go to the Military Aircraft Pavilion to learn more from General Meng, and I hope that the old general will give advice!" Ying Zheng said with a smile.

"Haha, if the king wants to learn, the minister should give the king what he has learned in his whole life. Meng Fu said happily.

Ying Zheng saluted and said, "Zheng, thank you to the old general." ”

"The general has ever thought of writing a book on the art of war and combat experience throughout his life? Ying Zheng suggested.

"The minister has thought about this, but he has time when he is busy with military affairs, and now that he has entered the military aircraft cabinet, the old minister has time to do this. Meng Fu said.

"I wonder who else the general thinks is eligible to join the cabinet?" asked Yingzheng. Regarding the abilities of the generals of the Qin State, Meng Fu is definitely one of the few people who know the most, and the Military Machine Pavilion is their best stage.

Meng Fu pondered for a moment and said: "Zhu Liji, Wei Zhang, both of them were once generals of the Qin State who could fight well, and now they are also in Xianyang, and their ability is enough to become the Minister of Military Aircraft. ”

Ying Zheng recalled the two of them, Zhu Liji is a clan of the Ying clan, which can be said to be both civil and military, and he is nicknamed "Qin State Think Tank". He fought countless battles in his life, defeated the alliance of Wei, Han, Zhao, Yan, and Chu, attacked Wei and Qi, helped Wei Zhang seize Hanzhong, and expanded the land of Qin. Gan Mao is a little worse than Wei Zhang, but these things still have to be discussed in the court, so at this time, I have a rough idea.

"General Meng Lao went back to Xianyang Palace with Gu for dinner, and Gu had to discuss a few things with the general. "Ying Zhengdao.

"No!"

The two of them walked one after the other towards the main hall of Xianyang Palace.

............

Qi country, the capital city of Linzi City.

On the eighth floor of the restaurant, there are two people talking. A common person dressed up with a happy face, and in front of him was a middle-aged man wearing a gorgeous robe, a little chubby, and a pair of eyes revealing a fine light.

The chubby man laughed and said: "Okay, good, hard work pays off, I heard that he was here two months ago, I Shen Wansan came non-stop, I didn't think about it but there was no news, this time I finally found his retreat." ”

It turned out that this chubby man was Shen Wansan, who came to Qi Country half a year to do business, and he came to Qi Country to find someone, and he stayed for several months. He mobilized all the forces of the Penglai Chamber of Commerce, but there was still no news, he was already planning to give up, but he never thought that the news came today that he had found the place where the person lived in seclusion, so that the big stone in his heart finally landed.

In order to avoid having too many daily dreams, Shen Wansan decided to rush to the man's seclusion now. He commanded the people in front of him, "Lead the way, and I will go now, and I will only be at ease when I see it with my own eyes." ”

"Yes, shopkeeper. ”

After speaking, the two hurriedly left the heavens and the earth and headed towards the north of Linzi City.

It is a thousand miles away from the north of Linzi City, surrounded by mountains, there is a village, there are about 20 families, the sky is getting dark, and there is little smoke.

There are more than a dozen people standing outside a thatched hut in the village, all of whom are powerful and powerful, and they know at a glance that they are masters of the rivers and lakes. There were also four people wearing black robes, one standing in the south, east, and west of the thatched house, and the momentum exuded from their bodies made people dare not take a step forward.

In the thatched house, Shen Wansan sat on the futon, quietly looking at an old man sitting on him, if he looked closely, his eyes revealed a look of worship for the old man.

The old man's face was wrinkled by the years, but his eyes were deep and bright, and he was full of wisdom, showing that the old man was not an ordinary old man in the countryside.

The old man also looked at the uninvited guest in front of him lightly, since the other party came, it was obvious that he was coming for him, but he didn't know what he meant.

"Mr. Fan Li's seclusion is really as clear as a mirror, with green mountains and floating water, so that Wansan is easy to find. ”

It turned out that the person Shen Wansan was looking for was Fan Li, Fan Li was known as the saint of Shang, and he had helped Gou Jian to rejuvenate the Yue Kingdom and destroy the Wu State. After becoming famous, he retreated bravely, became rich in business three times, and scattered his family fortune three times.

"I don't know what Your Excellency is looking for the old man?" Fan Li said curiously.

Shen Wansan said: "Wansan is the helmsman of the Penglai Chamber of Commerce, as for the meaning of coming here, because my master has been talking about Mr. for a long time, Wansan has the courage to come to ask Mr. to go out of the mountain to assist my master." Shen Wansan explained.

Fan Li exclaimed: "It turns out that Your Excellency is the mysterious shopkeeper of the Penglai Chamber of Commerce, the Penglai Chamber of Commerce has industries all over his country, and the money earned in one year is more than the tax revenue of Qi Zhao and other countries in two years. I didn't expect that there was a Lord behind the person who controlled such wealth, and I really don't know who in the world can make you want to drive. ”

Shen Wansan said with a smile: "When I see Lord Wansan, I understand whether he is worthy of Wansan's allegiance or not." ”

"I have to go"

Shen Wansan nodded.

Fan Li stood up and said, "Let's go, I want to see how many heroes have come out of this world!"

A group of people escorted the car away at a gallop, and gradually disappeared into the night, taking with them not only an old couple, but also the panic and anxiety they brought when they came.
