Chapter 6 If the minister is unscrupulous, how will the king be safe?
"Your Majesty, can the big ship in this picture really go to sea? The minister is lonely and unheard, and it has never been heard of throughout the ages. Today, the largest sea ship built by Daqin is only ten zhang long and two zhang wide, which is far from the huge ship that His Majesty requires to be 50 zhang long and 20 zhang wide. ”
Although Meng Yi has great respect for His Majesty, this is really incredible.
According to the picture depicted, where is this to build a big ship, this is simply a sea fortress, a super-giant.
"Are you questioning me?"
Ying Zheng said coldly, he can't explain this kind of thing, and he doesn't want to explain it, let alone explain it.
"Minister, don't dare."
Meng Yi's heart sank, and he immediately realized that he had lost his words.
"There's no room for error, understand?"
Ying Zheng reminded in a stern tone.
"Minister, understood. It's just that I don't know why Your Majesty built such a huge ship of ingenuity? ”
Meng Yi's heart was like a cat scratching, full of curiosity, and couldn't help asking.
Ying Zheng looked at Meng Yi with a curious look on his face and showed a rare smile.
Everyone has curiosity, and even Meng Yi, who has always been calm, can't bear it.
"Set the foundation for the Great Qin Empire."
Ying Zheng said meaningfully, and his eyes showed a bright light.
The Indochina Peninsula must be returned to Qin, and the Indochina Peninsula must be captured, so that the Great Qin Empire can look across the sea from the Malay Peninsula.
Take the Malay Peninsula, and the Indo-Spanish Peninsula will also be at your fingertips.
With the Indo-Spanish Peninsula, the Australian continent could be firmly in the hands of the Great Qin Empire.
The Australian mainland is the best choice for the imperial naval base, sitting on the unique strategic sea fortress of the Australian mainland.
The east can be the army to India, the Indian continent, and the west can point to the non-continent, this is the land of the Great Qin army.
Sweet potatoes in the Yin'an Continent are the essential food for the foundation of the Great Qinding.
As long as sweet potatoes are used as rations, Daqin's population can expand rapidly within a few decades, and its national strength will reach an unprecedented peak.
Today, the population of Daqin is only more than 20 million, and the reason for restricting population expansion is of course because of the chaos in the world and the sharp decline in population.
But more importantly, because of the shortage of food, once there is enough food, the Chinese can bloom everywhere and prosper.
The Xiongnu, Xiqiang, and the Western Regions can not be fought, and the Jizi and Chenguo can also be slowly cleaned up, but the central and southern regions must enter Qin, and the Australian continent must also be included in the territory of Great Qin.
The Imperial Navy of the Yin'an Continent must also be boarded, and the sweet potato must enter Qin in the fastest time.
This is the fundamental national policy of Daqin in the next few decades, and no one can shake it.
Meng Yi's heart shook violently, the foundation of the Great Qin Empire?
Your Majesty's words are very profound!
Great Qin went east, swept through the six countries, deposed the old system of princes, and divided the 48 counties in the world, which was regarded by His Majesty as the foundation of Great Qin.
Can you build a big ship, but it can also be called the foundation of a thousand years?
This is unbelievable and unbelievable.
Ying Zheng took in Meng Yi's expression, and said meaningfully: "Meng Qing, if one acre of land in the Great Qin Empire can produce dozens of stones [one stone and one hundred catties] of rations, what do you think?" ”
Meng Yi's eyes widened, and he felt his breathing speed up and his heart beating wildly.
Did you hear it wrong?
Although he doesn't farm the land, the Meng family is a wealthy family of the Great Qin, and the property under his name also has thousands of fertile fields.
As we all know, one acre of land can only produce five stone grain in a good year, and two stone grain in a bad year.
Your Majesty actually said that one acre of land can produce dozens of stone grains?
Is this a joke?
"Your Majesty, is there such a thing in this world?"
Meng Yi's voice trembled uncontrollably, not because he was timid, but because he was too nervous.
This kind of grain that yields dozens of stones per mu, if there is one, it is a divine object.
"If not, do you think that I have spent a lot of time building a huge ship to waste people and money?"
Ying Zheng looked at Meng Yi, and his voice changed, and he asked.
"Minister, panic. I will never dare to be disrespectful to Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to punish you. ”
Meng Yi saw His Majesty's gaze staring at him, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart, and hurriedly excused himself.
"I'm going back to Xianyang, and there are still too many things I need to deal with, so you can stay in Yuedi to preside over the overall situation."
Ying Zheng rubbed his temples and said casually.
"The minister must live up to His Majesty's entrustment."
Meng Yi hurriedly bowed his hand.
"Before leaving, I still want to remind you that there is a battalion for ten miles, and each battalion has a hundred tents, and once there are people infected with miasma on the front line, they will be sent back to quarantine immediately. If they die, they should be burned immediately. ”
"Anything that covers the mouth, whether it is a military doctor or a soldier, must be worn to cover the mouth and nose. I will order all localities to rush to work and make another 500,000 for backup, and replace it in time if it is damaged. ”
"The south is muddy, I will find a way to make up 100,000 leather clogs [boots], and they will be sent to Xiangjun within three months, and you will be responsible for supplying the front-line soldiers."
Ying Zheng explained a few words in a row, for fear that Meng Yi would forget.
If the miasma is regarded as ominous, the world fears it like a tiger, if it cannot be effectively controlled, the military spirit will inevitably collapse, and then the southern expedition here will be in vain.
Yingzheng will never allow such a thing to happen, Zhongnan must take it, and after stabilizing Zhongnan, it can slowly figure it out and set a plan for a thousand years.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will never live up to His Majesty's expectations."
Meng Yi also patted his chest and assured that he not only engraved these things in his mind, but also recorded them with a pen, for fear that there would be a trace of omission.
He knew very well that the Mengshi was indeed a famous contemporary family in the Great Qin Empire, but all this glory was given by the man in front of him, if the Mengshi did something wrong, this man's words could also make the Meng family never turn over.
"Alright, there you go! There is no need to worry about your Meng family's property, you and Meng Tian are both loyal to the country in southern Xinjiang, and I will take care of the Meng family for the two of you brothers when I return to Xianyang. ”
Ying Zheng smiled, as if he was teasing.
But when Meng Yi heard this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Does Your Majesty have a heart?
Or is it unintentional?
In any case, the king's heart is unpredictable, and His Majesty is undoubtedly reminding himself, and it can also be taken as a warning.
He couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart, but as a king, if he can't relax and have a good way, then he will not be far from the country.
This has nothing to do with trust, nor with mind, but the importance of the country and society, and there is no absolutely credible person in the world.
If the minister is unscrupulous, how can the king be safe?
The king is excessive, how can the mountains and rivers be harmed?
"Minister, I am grateful, the Meng family has His Majesty's love, and the minister and his brother will be able to have no worries in southern Xinjiang, be loyal to the empire wholeheartedly, and serve Your Majesty."
Meng Yi said with a smile, looking grateful.
Since ancient times, it has been an unchanging regulation for the ages to be outside, and the family is the quality.
Although there is no written law, it is almost a tacit rule, not a suspicion of His Majesty.
Ying Zheng waved his hand, picked up the fold and read it.
"Minister, retire, Your Majesty cherishes it."
Seeing this, Meng Yi immediately bowed.
Slowly took a few steps back, and just turned around.
"Zhang Han is brave and deep, he can go to the front line to help General Meng, and he must not let him have an accident."
Ying Zheng's voice sounded faintly again, especially the last two words, which were particularly heavy.
Meng Yi stopped, turned around, and just wanted to speak, but saw Ying Zheng wave his hand and said, "Stand down." ”
Meng Yi felt confused, so he could only bow down again, and then left the car.
Standing at the gate of the city, watching His Majesty's royal car go away, his eyes were a little puzzled.
Who is Zhang Han?
He is no stranger, and this person has also made great achievements in the Battle of the Six Kingdoms, but he is not outstanding.
Whether it is General Wang Qian, General Wang Ben, or his brother, they are not much brighter than him.
Therefore, after the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, although this person was also knighted, he has always been an insignificant person in the court.
It's just an idle official position, and it's just a mess in the court!
His Majesty suddenly asked this person to escort 700,000 prisoners south, which was enough to surprise himself.
But why is this person specifically mentioned this time?
Brave?
Just one general, there are not a hundred but eighty generals in the Great Qin Empire, how can you talk about bravery?
The brothers have made countless achievements, and the first war in the north is even more powerful and alien, and has won the reputation of the overlord of the grassland.
Why do you need the help of an unknown person?
Want to keep him safe? Why go to the front?
Not to mention a general, even if the commander of the three armies is on the front line, it is full of dangers.
Tu Sui, the general of the expedition to the south, is the best example, and he died in the battle of southern Xinjiang.
What does Your Majesty mean?
Meng Yi frowned, standing at the gate of the city without moving, as if he had turned into a stone sculpture.
As a courtier, if you can't figure out the holy will, you can't stand on the temple at all.
If you want to stand firm, knowing that the Divine Will is the way to exist.
After a long time, Meng Yi's gaze retracted from the vanished convoy in the distance, and a terrible thought flashed in his heart.
His Majesty wants him dead?
Died in southern Xinjiang, died quietly, died without anything to say!
But a mere general, insignificant above the temple, and even the admonition has to think twice, how can it make His Majesty move to kill?
Meng Yi couldn't figure it out if he wanted to break his head, there were thousands of officials in the temple, and these five senses Zhonglang said that the official rank was not big, and it was better to talk about small than nothing.
According to common sense, if such an official does not perform well, it will be difficult for him to enter the eyes of His Majesty.
Not to mention Your Majesty, even him, if His Majesty hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have thought that there was a person like Zhang Han in the Great Qin Temple.
However, since His Majesty has specially instructed him, he should share his worries as a courtier.
Right and wrong don't matter, and it doesn't matter why.
Your Majesty let whoever died in the third watch, and who dared to keep people until the fifth watch?
Zhang Han?
The mountains and rivers in southern Xinjiang are beautiful and the scenery is pleasant, but it is not a burying you.
Meng Yi's eyes showed a cold light, and it disappeared in a flash, and then he returned to the city with the support of the guards.
Cochin ......
The realm belongs to one of the 15 branches of Ouyue under the Baiyue branch, at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the last prince of Shu led his people, arrived at Jiaozhi, established the Ou Yu country, and proclaimed himself the king of Anyang.
To the south of Great Qin, successively pacified Minyue, Ouyue, Ou Yu Kingdom annihilated, and its border Jiaozhi was set as Xiang County.
Yuyue and Jiuzhen County of Xiang County are separated by a vast rainforest, and the people under its jurisdiction are only one million, and the north and south of its land are only thousands of miles.
Although the country is called a country, it is still in the wilderness, men and women are naked, not ashamed, deep eyes and high noses, and black fists.
It does not live in the city, but gathers in the tribes, haunts the deep mountains and old forests all the year round, hunts to satisfy hunger, and picks fruits to fill the stomach.
Arrive at Xiangjun in the north, the sea in the east, the mountains in the west, and Wangyang in the south.
Ye is an excellent young hunter among the leaders of the Zhan tribe, and tonight he went into the mountains to hunt as usual, and if there is no harvest, then tomorrow the family will have to live with wild fruits.
He came to his hunting ground with great skill and climbed a large tree.
In the forest at night, the danger and harvest are just as great, if it is not for three days without hunting prey, he will never enter the mountain late at night.
Because it's actually a big gamble, risking your own life.
Beasts are seen at night, but there are many more prey than during the day.
With a little luck, he was able to harvest prey and feed the seriously ill Eminem with hot meat.
Just as he held his breath and looked around in the moonlight, searching for his prey.
In the quiet forest, there was a sudden sound of neat footsteps one after another.
This immediately alerted Ye, and he followed the source of the sound and looked nervously.
It wasn't long before a group of blackened people were imprinted into his pupils.
These figures were holding sharp weapons that emitted cold light, and with the bright moonlight, the black armor on their bodies exuded a dark halo, making Ye's breathing involuntarily worsen.
Who are they?
