"I need at least three years to reorganize the army, big brother, do you still want to stay here every day to walk birds and drink tea?"

Coming out of the Qi Nian Palace, Li Ling directly found Lu Buwei, and he didn't say anything else about it, so he went straight to the point.

"Three years? What do you mean, brother? ”

Putting down the teapot in his hand and motioning for Li Ling to sit down, Lu Buwei guessed that Li Ling must have something to ask for him, but he didn't expect Li Ling to come up and say that it would take three years to reorganize the army, and he didn't understand what Li Ling was going to do for a while.

"At least three years, three years later, I will give Zheng'er an invincible Great Qin Iron Cavalry, and after three years, I will lead the army to send a letter to Guguan again and sweep away the Six Kingdoms!" However, I need your help, big brother, if you don't go out of the mountain, maybe the time I have to use will not be three years, it may be thirty years or even longer! Brother Lu, do you want to wait thirty years? ”

"Don't blame the old man for not speaking well, you lead the army to attack Zhao, you know in your heart how big the loss is, and you know better than the old man what the consequences will be if you continue to fight. In such a situation, even if the old man goes out of the mountain and gives you three years, what can he do? Three years later, let alone sweeping the six countries, according to the old man, he can win a Zhao country at most, but it is difficult to destroy the Zhao country. ”

Lu Buwei's words were very direct, he knew that Li Ling had the ability, the ability and the means, but he was still not optimistic about Li Ling, at least not about the three-year period that Li Ling said.

"Give me time, I don't have to wait until three years later, it only takes a year, and I can make you believe me! But I need Great Qin to have no major wars for three years, and there are no external threats. And this, only Brother Lu can do it. ”

It was a little difficult for Li Ling to make others believe in himself with what had not happened, and he couldn't find a suitable reason for Lu Buwei to believe it, so he could only convince Lu Buwei by showing his self-confidence.

But excessive self-confidence will lead others to think that he is arrogant, and it is difficult for Li Ling.

"Then the old man will wait and see."

Lu Buwei stroked his beard, lifted the bird cage and walked out, as if he didn't plan to deal with Li Ling.

Li Ling was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

"So, Brother Lu, did you agree?"

"The old man just wants to see what you want to use in a year to convince the old man, brother."

"Thank you, Brother Lu!"

It was hard to hide the excitement in his heart, although Lu Buwei only promised to see the results after a year, but this was enough.

After having Lü Buwei's assurance, it seemed that Li Ling should be at ease, but after Li Ling left Lü Buwei's mansion, he did not go home, nor did he go to Qinian Palace to tell Yingzheng, but went directly to Mengfu.

"Uncle ......"

Meng Yi had already fallen asleep, and it was Meng Tian who greeted Li Ling, his eyes were red and swollen, and it seemed that he had not recovered from the grief of Meng Wu's death.

"Meng Tian, do you want to lead the troops to fight?"

"I think! Of course I want to! I can't wait to go to Yecheng now and kill those Zhao people. ”

"Okay, I got it! I'm going to form a new army in the near future, and you can just come to me and report on it when the time comes. ”

Leaving from Mengfu and going to Qi Nian Palace, it was already late at night, but when I arrived in Qi Nian Palace, I didn't expect Ying Zheng to be busy reviewing various official documents.

Li Ling didn't disturb Yingzheng, but asked Zhao Gao to prepare some snacks for himself, and then sat in the side hall of the Qinian Palace and waited quietly.

It wasn't until the time passed that Ying Zheng was finally busy.

"Master? Master, when did you come? Zhao Gao! Why didn't you tell the widow when the master came! ”

"Don't blame him, I didn't let him bother you. I'm here to tell you two things, the first is that Meng Tian wants me, and the second is that Meng Yi will follow you in the future, let Li Si be okay and teach him, he should be a usable talent. ”

"Are there two brothers in the Meng family? In fact, even if the master doesn't say it, Zheng'er plans to give him some positions, after all, General Mengwu died for my Great Qin. ”

In fact, there is no need for Li Ling to say that Ying Zheng has already considered it, but he didn't think clearly about who would inherit the title of Meng Wu, but now it seems that there is no need to think about it, Meng Tian wants to lead the army, so he is naturally more suitable.

"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing I want to discuss with you."

"Master, please speak."

"I want to set up a military pay system."

"Military pay?"

"That is, all those who join the army can receive a certain amount of money every month."

Why is that? Isn't it great now? And I'm a good son of Daqin, and conscription has never been difficult. ”

Ying Zheng didn't understand why Li Ling suddenly came up with the idea of setting up a military salary.

You must know that there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from the regular army to the counties and counties in Great Qin, even if these people give less every month, it is an extremely huge expense, and now the entire Qin State needs money, and it is really difficult to suddenly take out so much.

What's more, Great Qin's military merit system determines that Great Qin will not lack soldiers and horses at any time, after all, this is the only way for ordinary people to obtain the title.

"There are some things I haven't told you, and they are all small things, you naturally can't experience them in the palace, but the establishment of military salaries is necessary."

After looking at Ying Zheng, Li Ling decided to tell him some things, about the matter of military salary, he had to give Ying Zheng a pass before he could put it on the court to discuss, after all, this is a big deal, and it is a big thing.

"In the army, most soldiers do not have titles, and the horses, armor and even weapons need to be brought by the soldiers themselves from home, which makes many soldiers from poor families too much pressure. At that time, the people's will will be unstable, and once all the problems erupt, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"As long as they fight well and make war achievements, everything will be solved!"

Regarding Li Ling's statement, Ying Zheng did not agree too much.

"But how many knights were there on the battlefield? More people in the war have died on the battlefield before they have even received a knighthood! In the long run, who would want to join the army? And we are not going to use troops in the short term, but the number of standing armies cannot be reduced at all, and in such a situation, how many people will send the only labor force in their families to the barracks? ”

"Then you can adopt the plan you used before, master, train in the barracks during the day, go home at night, and when you encounter busy farming, you can adopt a shift system, a group of people train, and a group of people are busy farming."

"In this case, the training effect cannot be guaranteed at all, and on the battlefield, the combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the full training unit."
