Chapter 318: Candidates for the Southern Expedition
Duke Qin's words of kindness seemed to be a final conclusion, and he directly settled the matter.
Therefore, the expansion of Wancheng under the rule of the area has been put on the agenda, the new Wancheng has not only referred to the original old Wancheng and the surrounding villages of the range, directly including the Sancheng area of Nanyang County, the original Shanglin Yuan (the whole territory of Thornyang, the north of Shuyang, the east of Miyang), the southwest of Wuyin, Zhenping and Bowang absorbed, although Wancheng in the narrow sense is not a city wall, but in these only roads to Wancheng is naturally set up important checkpoints to prevent bandits from wandering.
This matter has been completed, and there are no imminent important matters to discuss above the court, so the Duke of Qin waved his hand, and allowed many court scholars to disperse the court and go to the new Qin Palace to see their official residences, as well as some important courtiers, such as Situ Bailihuai, Si Kou Shen, etc., need to go to the official office to determine where each official office is.
Duke Qin left Han Kui, Han Kui was alone, and the new Prime Minister's Mansion was naturally handed over to Feng Ci and the guests to go and arrange it.
Looking at the scene of the new Qin Palace around him, Duke Qin also said with emotion: "If it weren't for the lonely six sons, the poor Qin people would be able to build such a palace in a few years!" ”
Han Kui smiled and said nothing, this Gongzi Yan was indeed out of Han Kui's expectations, these things are no longer measurable by common sense, but Han Kui changed the conversation and asked Qin Gongdao: "Your Majesty, can you tell Gongzi Yan about the Southern Expedition?" ”
Hearing this, Duke Qin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Fang Cai Gu asked him to go to the Jiuzhang High Platform to arrange first, just to discuss this matter with Han Qing, originally I still thought that this time I would form an alliance with Wu Chu and the opportunity of the southern expedition to Jingguo, so that the sixth son of Gu would inherit the great responsibility, but the current Great Qin Dynasty did not allow Gu to do this, Feng Qing, Fan Qing, these court virtuous ministers, although Gu gave them a phase, but ...... It's not as meritorious as Han Qing who commanded the soldiers and horses in the north to defeat the Koreans in a battle, and there are often constraints in doing things, and they need this more than the sixth son! ”
"Great Qin and Wu Chu have formed an alliance to defeat the Jing State, and they are bound to win......" Han Kui nodded, then looked at Duke Qin and said, "Your Highness is so worried, but you are worried that Gongzi Yan has criticized the arrangement of the king?" ”
Qin Gongdao: "The first battle of Wuguan is already indebted, and the southern expedition was promised at the beginning, but now it is ......"
Han Kui said with a smile: "Your Excellency doesn't have to worry, Kui has a plan to ensure that Gongzi Yan has nothing to say, and he is happy!" ”
"What's the plan?"
……
Although this nine-zhang high platform is outside the palace, but on the left side of the main palace gate of the new Qin Palace, it is connected to the palace wall, and there is a wall leading directly to the nine-zhang high platform, which connects the nine-zhang high platform with the Qin Palace.
Although the Jiuzhang high platform has been built with the scale of "Lutai" built by the last monarch of the Yin Shang Dynasty exhausted the manpower and material resources of the Central Plains, but in fact, the Jiuzhang high platform built by Daqin is only a grand scale, but it is not luxurious, and the display on it is very simple, and the top one is also the core of this Jiuzhang high platform, and it is also a simple layout, and now it is just an empty shelf.
Lin Yuyan was sent here by the Duke of Qin first, Lin Yuyan himself knew, it must be the monarch's father and Han Kui discussing something that could not be known by himself, as for what it was, Lin Yuyan did not know!
Qin Gong and Han Kui arrived at the Jiuzhang high platform after a while, and directly climbed onto the high platform of the top four-zhang place, surrounded by railings, Qin Gong looked at the railing, and exclaimed: "This radius of ten miles, all can be seen clearly, Han Qing, I heard that there is a danger of Huashan in the North Qinhan Valley, and there is a solid situation here!" ”
Han Kui also looked at it, only to see that the new Qin Palace could be seen clearly here, and when he looked south, he seemed to be able to see the dilapidated city wall of the Tianji Wan City, Han Kui was amazed, he had visited the famous mountains and rivers, but he didn't know that there was actually a bit of mystery here.
"Sixth son......" Duke Qin called Lin Yuyan and asked, "I heard that all the copper materials that Jiang Xiajin gave to Nanyang were used here?" ”
Lin Yuyan nodded and said, "The Jiuzhang high platform used hundreds of thousands of catties of copper......
"No wonder you want to grab some food from the old clan to make up for the deficit in the construction of the new Qin Palace......"
Lin Yuyan also said: "The old clan has accumulated a lot of food, but the land around the New Qin Palace, the sons and daughters are not forbidden to civilians, and this is close to the east of the New Qin Palace, which is to give them their houses?" ”
"Civilians?" Qin Gong turned his head and seemed to remind Lin Yuyan and said, "I'm afraid your plan is about to fail...... The people of Daqin are inseparable from their hometown, unlike the old clan, they need to participate in the court, Han Qing implemented a new household system some time ago, and one day it was stipulated that [ordinary people should not leave their hometowns and abandon their land]......"
This reminded Lin Yuyan that Daqin's management of civilians was no longer as broad as before, and Han Kui's control over everything was greatly strengthened after Daqin organized the households, which was also in the hands of the old clan to manage civilians.
However, Lin Yuyan also looked at the place east of the New Qin Palace and said to the Duke of Qin: "Father, this Shuishui Wharf to the east of the New Qin Palace will be a place for the exchange of goods to and from Great Qin in the future, and the sons and daughters have also set up [Wan City] five miles east of the New Qin Palace, which may not only provide a steady stream of merchants and taxes for Daqin in the future, but also attract those children of the old clan, or scholars from poor families to go to Wancheng to live, but all the scholars who want to get ahead in Daqin will come to Wancheng after all, and the land of the old clan is still there. But as long as the land around the New Qin Palace can be cultivated well and as convenient as possible, it is not certain that those old clans will not exchange the land for double or several times! ”
Qin Gong was a little surprised, he didn't expect this sixth son to think like this, Qin Gong also shook his head, unlike several generations of Qin ancestors, Qin Gong has never experienced a battle on the battlefield, the only time in his life that the leader on the battlefield was when the Jin and Han soldiers came to the city, Qin Gong stood on the head of Wancheng to inspire morale, as for the dispatch of soldiers and horses, it was arranged by the former prime minister.
He is well versed in the power of the court and guesses the hearts of the people, so he was able to quietly take over the real power of Great Qin from the hands of those cunning old clans and control the Great Qin for decades, but only for his six sons, Qin Gong felt that he could see through it, but he could never see through it.
Therefore, the Duke of Qin decided to tell the truth: "This time I formed an alliance with Wu Chu to crusade against the Jing State, and I plan to hand it over to those scholars in the court, who are in a high position but have no size merit...... I'm afraid you know the constraints. ”
