"The minister commands."

Ejun did not shirk, nor did he have too many doubts, now the envoys and big businessmen of various countries will more or less have the nature of spies, but this kind of task is only incidental, and will not be specially investigated, and the main task is still their own work.

After hesitating for a moment, Ejun said: "King, there is no problem with other countries, but I'm afraid it won't work on the Qin side." ”

“······” Xiong Huai blurted out: "Why is it Qin State again?" ”

E Jun said: "Great King, the law of the Qin State compiles the number of all the population households of the Qin State, and issues identity certificates, and the people of the Qin State are not allowed to take in unidentified people, otherwise they will be sentenced once they are discovered." Moreover, the Qin State encouraged the people to snitch, and implemented the joint sitting method, and those who did not snitch implicated several surrounding families. Therefore, if we want to send spies, if we want to lurk in the Qin State for a long time, it will be very difficult. ”

“···”

Xiong Huai was speechless about the laws of the Qin State, and he was worthy of being a country that took the farming and warfare system to the extreme.

Nowadays, there are a large number of black households in all countries, I am afraid that there are no black households in the Qin State, or only a very small number of black households who do not interact with the outside world, and not only there are no black households, but even unemployed vagrants.

According to the Qin law, in the Qin state, as long as there are idle vagrants, they must be forced to arrange work, either to be assigned to labor or to serve as a military garrison.

Xiong Huai thought for a while and said: "Now that some of our people in Chu and Sanjin go to Qin to farm every year, since the road of merchants is not working, then arrange people to farm." ”

Chen Zhen smiled bitterly: "King, I'm afraid this won't work, according to the Qin law, farmers should work hard, farmers are strictly forbidden to move around at will, if you want to leave your hometown, you need to report to the official." In the Qin State, if you stay for a long time, you will definitely become a good farmer. ”

Xiong Huai sighed with emotion: "It's really good to compile a household registration..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Zhen's cough.

Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered, now Ejun is still here!

In these years, if we talk about hiding the population and hiding fugitives, the feudal lords and nobles occupy the majority.

The Ejun is heavy on business, and there may be few hidden farmers, but he has a large number of guards in various countries, and there are certainly not a few fugitives from various countries hidden under his hands.

Xiong Huai continued: "It's so cruel! Although there is no difference between the Chinese and the Shu people in the Qin State in name, the farmers of the Qin State are probably not as good as those Shu people in our Chu State. According to the widows, except for the officials, the rest of the Qin State are slaves, and if they are not serfs, they are war slaves. ”

Hearing King Chu say this, Ejun's face was a little unnatural, but after all, he didn't say anything.

After all, there are so many countries in the world, only one is Qin, and the other countries are almost the same, and the most famous is Tian Wen (Meng Weijun) of Qi State, who solicits guests and fugitives from all over the world, and is known as 3,000 guests.

Therefore, in addition to being beneficial to the country and the monarch, the people are not only thinking about paying less taxes, and the nobles are not only thinking about paying less taxes, but also thinking about how to drive more people to serve themselves, and hiding the population is the simplest and most direct way.

Although Xiong Huai said how bad it is to compile a household registration, he has already made up his mind in his heart that he must compile a household registration in the future, thoroughly check the population, and want to evade the widow's taxes, no way!

Of course, it is better to solve the problem of Qin's spies first.

Xiong Huai asked, "Xianqing, since merchants and farmers are not good, how can we arrange spies in the Qin State." ”

Chen Zhen said: "Great King, it is difficult to arrange spies in various places in the Qin State, but it is easier to arrange some spies in Xianyang in the Qin State. ”

Xiong Huai asked, "What does Xianqing mean by a guest?" ”

In addition to businessmen and diplomatic envoys, the only intelligence officers left were guests from various countries.

Moreover, since Qin Xiaogong issued a recruitment order, guests from all over the world have gathered, and it is the country with the largest number of guests among all countries except for Qi State.

But there is a problem with this, and that is that most of the guests are concentrated in the capitals of various countries.

Chen Zhen nodded: "The king, not only the guests, but also the guests of the ministers of the Qin State. ”

"So let's do it for now." Xiong Huai said to Ejun: "Xianqing is currently dominated by the seven countries of Sanjin Qiyan plus Zhongshan Yiqu and Yueguo, and the widow will arrange spies to enter the caravan, and then Shiqing only needs to provide assistance." ”

E Jun saluted and said, "Only." ”

A few days later, Jing Li and Jing Cui returned one after another, for these two important ministers, the flour plan naturally could not be hidden, and only this huge plan could appease these two people.

After Jing Cui returned with his army, Xiong Huai disbanded the army while recruiting elites from the army and began to form his own personal guard battalion.

According to Wei Wushu's standards, after three days of selection, three thousand elites were selected from hundreds of thousands of troops.

For this pro-guard army, Xiong Huai himself has no training experience, so naturally he will not plan to train in person.

Although there are also many generals in Yingdu now, whether Jingcui or Zhaoju are generals, Xiong Huai does not intend to hand over this army of great hope to them, or to the office, after all, most of the army of Chu is now in the hands of the office.

It's too dangerous to put your eggs in one basket.

As for the chief general of the army, Xiong Huai has already been chosen.

When there was only half a month left before the prince's wedding, Gongsun Yan finally returned from Sanjin.

"Meet the King."

"No courtesy." After Gongsun Yan straightened up, Xiong Huai asked, "Xianqing, I don't know what happened to my Chu State and the alliance countries?" ”

Gongsun Yan pleaded guilty and said: "The king, Weichen is incompetent, only the three Jin Dynasty among the five countries promised the monarch to go to the alliance in person, and the Yan country refused to go to the king of Yan on the grounds that the new monarch was on the throne and the Yan country was broken, as for the Yue country, because Qi and Yue were in a big war, the king of Yue also refused to go to the alliance in person, and the two countries of Yue and Yan would only send ministers to participate in the alliance. ”

"It seems that Yan Guo already has a different heart." Xiong Huai smiled.

Gongsun Yan nodded and said, "Back to the king, that's exactly the case." ”

For the Yan State, Xiong Huai had already expected it, after all, the two big countries connected to the Yan State, the Zhao State was an ally of the Yan State, the Qi State had been weakened, and the two years that the Yan State was ruled by the Qi State was a history of blood and tears, and it was normal for the King of Yan not to come.

Moreover, the Yan State is in the north and the Chu State is in the south, and there is no direct conflict of interest between the two countries, and Xiong Huai does not care about the fact that the King of Yan does not come.

As for Vietnam, Xiong Huai said that now Vietnam can still withstand it, and when the countries meet, they can mediate between the two countries, and then they can let the two countries take a reprieve first.

Gongsun Yan continued: "After many campaigns, the Three Jin Dynasty agreed to meet the alliance outside Hangu Pass in mid-April, when each country sent 50,000 troops, a total of 200,000 elite soldiers gathered at Hangu Pass, and expressed to the Qin State that all countries would unite and help each other. ”
