He returned to his general's mansion with heavy steps, locked himself in the study, and brought back a few newspapers that Wang Minghui had thrown away, and brought them back when he left, and was now spreading them on the table, studying word by word. Just as he is now saying to Wang Minghui, Gao Yuan's establishment of his own army and the appearance of the leadership of the army in this kind of newspaper in a grand manner reflect a kind of self-confidence and a kind of pride.

And Daqin is getting worse now, last year, his 50,000 troops in Yingchuan can still get the full amount of military salaries, food and all kinds of materials allocated by the imperial court, and in the first half of this year, he only got eighty percent, and in the second half of the year, it is good to finally get fifty percent, seeing that it has entered the middle of winter, but the army is still short of nearly 20,000 sets of cotton clothes and cotton wool quilts have not been distributed, in desperation, Tan Feng can only reduce the army's activity time, as much as possible to let those soldiers who have not received cotton clothes stay in the barracks, to ensure that they do not have unnecessary injuries due to the cold weather.

The army used to be the cornerstone of Great Qin, and if even the needs of the army began to be in arrears, I was afraid that the Great Qin Dynasty would be really overwhelmed. Thinking of this, he spread out the news about the central bank of the Han State to issue banknotes, and looked carefully word by word, Tan Feng himself is not just a simple general, for the economy and people's livelihood, he also has a dabbling, the trade agreement signed between the Han State and the Qin State has made a large number of high-quality and inexpensive Han goods pour into the Qin State, which has greatly dealt a blow to the local industry and commerce of the Qin State, and the evil consequences have been produced, Tan Feng now has a vague understanding, that is, a large amount of gold and silver flows to the Han State, So what is the purpose of Gao Yuan's creation of this central bank now? Is it just to solve the inconvenience of precious metals in circulation?

Is there some conspiracy here?

Now Tan Feng subconsciously connected every move of Gao Yuan with conspiracy.

Tan Feng had been in the Qin State for many years, and when he first arrived, he admired Li Ru's efforts to ensure the strength of the central power of the Qin State and the sharpness of the army's attack power. But now he finally recognized that all this needs to be built on the army to achieve victory after victory on the battlefield, once the army is frustrated, this policy will immediately cause a series of evil consequences, failure, it is necessary to concentrate forces, build a stronger army, need more money, and the oppression of the people will be more severe. The people's livelihood will be more difficult, a large number of farmland will be barren, commerce will wither, the state tax will be reduced, and in order to receive more taxes, it will be necessary to carry out stricter rule in the country, which is a cycle of strange circles, and the final result is like the current Shu County. The peasant uprisings came and went, and the local guards in Shu County were exhausted, and these local guards were inextricably linked to the local area, so the extermination operation became a little strange. It became a game of cat and mouse, so much so that in the end he had to mobilize the regular army to start the attack, and now although the situation is a little calmer, Tan Feng does not think that the matter will end there. The temporary calm is only afraid that there will be a bigger storm brewing.

When he was in the Yan Kingdom, Tan Feng also held the power of the state. He knew very well that the peasants were the most docile and honest people, and as long as they had a bite to eat, they would never take risks and risk killing their heads to rebel. The uprisings and riots in Shu County can only show that the situation there has collapsed beyond control.

Once upon a time, the powerful Great Qin, in the eyes of the Yan Kingdom, the situation in the Great Qin, which could only be looked upon, had reached such a dangerous point, and all of this was due to Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan's courage to dismantle hundreds of thousands of local guards in China shows that he is quite confident in the security situation in the country, and he only needs to rely on a small number of police to improve local law and order, which is not comparable in the Qin State.

A series of reports on the Han State were handed to the desk of the King of Qin, and it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news, which made Tan Feng a little frustrated, he thought that the current Great Qin was already full of holes, if he didn't dare to break the kettle and sink the ship, and be determined to reform, it wouldn't be long before the big ship would sink by itself.

Based on this understanding, he came together with Fan Sui, the first assistant of the current dynasty, because Fan Sui was extremely appreciative of some of his analyses, and wrote to him many times to discuss whether a series of reform policies about the Han state could be transplanted to the Qin state.

It's a pity that in Daqin, it is not Fan Sui who has a profound influence on the government, but Li Ru, Fan Sui is more like a pasteur that the old Qin King found for the new king before he died, and all he can do is tinker, but cannot make substantial changes. Tan Feng didn't think that Li Ru didn't see the crisis that the Qin State was facing now, but he was stubbornly unwilling to make changes, because he didn't want to lose this academic battle with his junior brother Jiang Jiaquan?

In Tan Feng's opinion, Li Ru has already lost.

If the Qin State implements reforms, it will indeed touch many vested interests, but these people are all vines attached to the big tree of the Qin State, as long as they firmly control the army, Tan Feng does not think that they can turn over how big a wave they can make, break and stand, only then will they have a chance, the phoenix Nirvana, and they will be reborn from the fire.

There is not much time left for the Qin State, and the reason why the Han State Gaoyuan has ceased war is also because of the domestic economy is in an emergency due to the conquest of the border over the years, and it is necessary to stabilize the country first, but with the efficient administration of the Han State and the implementation of a series of economic stimulus policies, the speed of the Han State's recovery is far from being comparable to the Qin State.

In other words, Gaoyuan's Han court owes money every year, not only owes money, but also a huge amount. Large-scale projects such as road construction and water conservancy construction have never stopped in the Han Kingdom, and these actions have not only greatly stimulated the local economy, but also ensured the vigorous development of these local economies, and in turn, the economic development has also promoted the prosperity of the Han Kingdom. The lofty imperial court will always be able to borrow large sums of money when they need it, and this money does not come from a certain class, but the entire Han people are paying for it, and their people have spare money in their hands, and they are willing to invest this spare money in the national debt, firstly, to pay tribute to their king, and secondly, to make money, for those peasants who are not good at management. It is better to put money in your hands than to invest it in treasury bonds to earn interest. He is not afraid of losses, because they have a king who they respect, and over the years, Gao Yuan has borrowed money year after year, but he has also repaid the money every year, and his credit has already been established.

In the state of Qin, is this possible?

Impossible, ordinary people don't have money in their hands at all, they may still be thinking about where to earn money tomorrow tonight, but those who have money are the people who know the most about the Qin State. I'm afraid that they would rather quietly send the money to the Han State to buy the Han State's treasury bonds than buy their own ones.

The door creaked, the lights flickered, Tian Ji, who replaced Tan Kang as the commander of his personal guard, walked in with the lamp, Tan Feng turned his head to look out the window, and unconsciously, he had been closed in the study for most of the day, and he didn't realize that it was almost dark.

Tian Ji is also an old man who followed him all the way from Yan to Qin, but in addition to being a martial artist, he is also commendable. Other places are far from Tan Kang, and there are not many people who can help themselves.

"General, someone from Xianyang has come and asked to see the general. I told them to wait in the living room. Tian Ji put the oil lamp on top of the big case and whispered to Tan Feng: "Also, Madame has come to destroy the general several times to go back to eat." ”

"I see." Tan Feng nodded, his wife was a delicate woman. She is also beautiful, but she really doesn't have much affection for her. The so-called respect for each other means that the two are polite to each other, or their own enthusiasm has been consumed in another woman.

"Someone from Xianyang is here, and I'm here to tell me the military salary for the second half of the year, and I can't get it together for a while, right?" Tan Feng sneered, this year, every time it is time to pay money, the household department will send a person to escort far less than the actual amount of things to complain to himself.

"No, someone who came by his own name?" Tian Jidao.

"Name?" Tan Feng asked casually, and as soon as the words came out, he suddenly realized something, and jumped up suddenly, "Is it a man in his forties with a red face?" ”

"Yes, General, how do you know?"

"Bastard, this is the new leader of the Black Ice Table!" Tan Feng said angrily, "Why don't you go and invite General Mingtai to my study." ”

"Yes, I see!" Tian Ji was also a little panicked, he knew too well what the head of the Black Ice Platform meant.

Looking at Tian Ji's back, Tan Feng sighed, Tian Ji just came up, and he didn't know much about the situation above, Mingtai had just replaced Zhongli as the leader of the Black Ice Platform, and not many people knew about it.

For Zhong Li's departure, Tan Feng is very regretful, as the actual controller of Yan Lingwei before Dayan, he fought with Zhong Li, after defecting to Daqin, he has more understanding of the head of the Black Ice Platform, this is one of the few sober-minded people in the Qin State, but once a son of heaven and a courtier, the new king will definitely not hand over an institution like the Black Ice Platform to an old man, the new king needs a person who is absolutely at ease to control this dark institution, but the ability of this famous platform? Or in some ways, Mingtai is not worse than Zhongli, but in terms of the overall situation, it is certainly not as good as Zhongli.

It's just, what did Mingtai do when he came to himself? A shadow surged in Tan Feng's heart.

He stood at the door, looking forward to it, this is to show his attitude, originally, as a general, in terms of position, he is much higher than Mingtai, Mingtai is not Zhongli, but Tan Feng knows his position better, in the heart of King Qin, Mingtai is definitely more important than himself.

"General!" Mingtai, who was dressed in civilian clothes, strode to Tan Feng Ming under the guidance of Tian Ji, clasped his hands into fists, and saluted Tan Feng.

"Commander Ming, what kind of wind is this, which actually blew you, a busy man, to me?" Tan Feng laughed, returned the salute, stretched out his hand, and led Mingtai inward. "I haven't eaten yet, from Xianyang all the way to here, the journey is not short, Tian Ji, I don't dare to let Mrs. prepare it urgently, and I will have a few drinks with the famous commander after a while."

Walking into the study, Mingtai looked at Tan Feng and smiled, "General, it's a gust of wind that blows me, I'm afraid that the general will be a little displeased." ”

"Commander Ming laughed!" Tan Feng's heart sank slightly, but he still smiled to himself.

"General, Fan Sui and Fan Shoufu have been imprisoned!" (To be continued......)
