"Besides, your lord, you can streamline your army. Cut some armies and reduce the number of troops from one million to between 30 and 400,000. Shang Wen talked about his plan to the point.
"What, shrink the army. How can my Great Qin's army be reduced・・・・・・・" When King Qin heard that he was going to reduce his army, this was a problem that touched his own territory, and King Qin was a little annoyed.
"Your Majesty, please listen to Weichen. I, Great Qin, have maintained war readiness all year round, which is a great drain on national strength. In the long run, this will be a great loss to the country. A population of six million feeds an army of one million. This percentage is already very high. Although it is possible to go back to farming during the truce, the burden on the country is still very large. In particular, during wars, the whole country was basically mobilized to fight, especially in the future war of reunification. In this case, it will be a great drain on national strength. Even if he occupies the Six Nations, I am afraid that he will not have the strength to sit firmly on the territory of the Six Nations. So, your king, you have to cut down the army. These retained armies are standing armies, elites. It is an army that can fight at any time. In addition, we can establish a reserve system, and the whole country is a soldier. Shang Wen paused.
King Qin continued to listen, apparently attracted by this system.
"The king can leave a vacancy of 100,000 people for these combat-fit personnel to participate in training. It is also possible to promote these personnel to the standing army, so that the standing army has sustained combat effectiveness. Those fit for combat can also be trained. The country only needs to keep winning one or two wars a year. Such a war would be good for stimulating the domestic production of iron, grain, salt, etc. The minister suggested the use of foreign troops. For example, the Xiongnu, Donghu, and Baiyue. These countries are not only aliens, but also hidden dangers after the unification of our Great Qin. Now that they are weak, we will defeat them as soon as possible. This can also lower the vigilance of the six countries and let them fight enough. Shang Wen said.
"Good idea, good idea, the widow didn't think of it." King Qin waved his fists excitedly. Stand up and walk back and forth.
"King" Shang Wen said. "What else does Aiqing have in mind?" When I heard it, the salutation changed. Shang Wen felt goosebumps. "The king is also going to build a university. Attract talents from the six countries of the East. In the past, I used to attract talents, and I was relatively passive in doing so. Nowadays, the king can establish a university, and the university has various faculties. For example, military academies recruit all kinds of military talents. There are advanced, intermediate, and low-level. We can select those who have a basic talent from the military to study in schools. It is also possible to solicit people from the six countries. These people are used in foreign warfare.
There are also politics, diplomacy, technology, culture, and so on. These are all things we have to do. Shang Wen didn't finish yet.
"Okay, good, good, hahaha." King Qin suddenly looked very happy.
"Aiqing should have a good rest. During this time, it is also necessary to sort out all kinds of statements. The widow will discuss it with all the civil and military personnel. Saying that, King Qin left very happily.
Before Shang Wen could catch his breath, the "female bandit" barbarian princess appeared, and Ying Yu walked over. said fiercely: "For the sake of the truth you said to your father, this princess spares your life." Hmph". As he spoke, he turned and left.
Who are these people? Shang Wen felt that he was particularly wronged and was beaten in vain. I can't say anything yet. I am for the good of others. In summary. I didn't say anything, but also threatened. What people. Shang Wen felt that he was particularly aggrieved. Whatever he does, take his own vacation. Roll over and go to sleep.
Maybe I was too tired some time ago, and I don't know if it was due to excessive nervousness. Shang Wen felt bored. Dream that you are walking to a desert. I'm going to die. The mouth kept muttering water, water.
Suddenly, a stream of cool water poured into his mouth, it was real water. saved. saved. I can drink water by myself. How do you feel that this is not a dream. Open your eyes and see. I saw a pretty face appear in front of my eyes. It's a bit blurry and can't see clearly.
Reach out and touch it. "Ahh Shang Wen finally woke up. It hurts to wake up. His arm was about to be torn. Can you not wake up?
Shang Wen was pressed on the bed, that is, on something like a tatami mat, and saw that King Qin, Zhao Gao, and Meng Tian were all there.
Here's what it's for. Isn't it just a good night's sleep? "The king is awake, awake" This is obviously Zhao Gao's voice.
"Thou shalt not be rude". This is the voice of King Qin.
"Hmph" this is Ying Yu's voice. But his arm was saved.
Come to think of this. He opened his mouth and said. But the mouth is dry. Dryly said a few words: "This..." Zhao Gao hurriedly said: "Oh, sir, you finally woke up." You've been in bed for two days and nights. The king is dying in a hurry. ”
"I," Shang Wen hadn't said yet.
Zhao Gao said again. How this guy loves to interject. "Sir, you have a cold. The Imperial Doctor says you're too tired. Thou art frightened of the king, who came to see you every day. ”
"Xie, Wang," Shangwen hadn't finished yet.
"You are weak, don't move. Take care of yourself in the next few days. King Qin said with a wave of his hand. Yu'er, I really don't want to talk, how can I treat Mr. like this. King Qin scolded.
"Hmph, people are kind enough to come to see him, but this guy has done such a shameless thing, hum!" Yingyu was angry, turned around and left.
"It's all to blame for this king, and Mr. has to receive Yu'er's fright. The gentleman was weak, how could he withstand such a beating. This king apologized to Mr.," said King Qin, bowing to Shang Wen. Shang Wen didn't have time to stop it.
"Sir is the hope of my Daqin, and I hope that Mr. will take care." Saying that, King Qin said comfortingly.
"Meng Tian," King Qin shouted.
"The last general, you lead a cadre of guards to protect Mr., if Mr. has any problems. I'll ask you. King Qin said sharply.
"The last general will definitely protect Mr. Quan." Meng Tian clenched his fists and said.
"Let's go down and make arrangements." King Qin waved his hand.
"Sir, get some rest. In a few days, when the court is meeting again, the widow needs to be able to revise it in detail. This will convince you of the civil and military. King Qin patted Shang Wen's hand.
"Zhao Gao, go back to the palace." The King of Qin commanded.
"Wow" Zhao Gao withdrew with his hand.
"Sir, rest well. Take care. And so he withdrew.
Look at it all. Shang Wencai felt that he seemed to really have a fever and a cold.
Think about what you said right. Maybe it's because I'm too tired in those days. I don't go to bed until late every day, and sometimes I don't sleep at all. In addition, if Yingyu is such a troublemaker, there will definitely be a problem.
But it's okay to take a good rest.
At this time, Meng Tian walked into the house.
