Su Ren's plan is very bold, in his plan, as long as the imperial court can gather enough troops, it will not be difficult to fight even to the edge of the sky. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although it is said that the Xiongnu territory outside the Saiwai does not have many things that the Han need, it can also raise enough things to exchange the grain and grass in the hands of the merchants. The slaves of the Xiongnu, the cattle and sheep and livestock of the Xiongnu, the mining resources of the Xiongnu, and even the military exploits of the Xiongnu were all within the scope of exchange. Su Ren turned the whole war into a deal, with the imperial court and his army on one side, and the Han families who wanted to expand and the merchants who had money in their hands.

In this world where officials are respected, anyone wants to be recognized by the imperial court. Su Ren believes that among all these things, the best one is actually military merit. According to the law of the Han Dynasty, whether it is a commoner or an official, as long as there is a certain military merit, the title will be awarded, from the lowest rank to the highest rank of marquis, a full twenty ranks, each rank has corresponding privileges and compensation, so this is the reason why everyone yearns for it.

Now that the Han Dynasty is prosperous and peaceful, the princes of Kwantung are all in danger, and no one dares to oppose the imperial court again, and there will be no major wars in the Han Kingdom, and there will be no titles without war. You must know that the titles of the Han Dynasty followed the pre-Qin title system, and these twenty-order titles were all built on the head, and if there was no war in the country, they could only expand outward.

Guangluxun said: "General Su's words seem to have some truth, but the minister thinks that if General Su envisions, if everyone in the world has a title, then who will cultivate and herd horses, and who will feed the soldiers?" ”

Everyone nodded again and again, and Dou Ying also looked up at Guangluxun: "Yes, the conquest of the Xiongnu is a major event, the population of the Xiongnu is tens of millions, and the soldiers will naturally fight bravely to kill the enemy for the sake of their titles and military merits or money. ”

"So the price should be set higher, it doesn't matter if those cattle, horses and livestock can be lower, slaves can also be sold cheaply, only this military merit is expensive, firstly, it can make the soldiers with military merits earn more, and secondly, it will also shut up those who have no money or less money, and the third advantage is that you can take out a copy of it as a supplement to the treasury, there are many rich people in my Han Dynasty, and they are also willing to spend money to sell military merits, even if they don't have these military merits, they will not be the lowest level of cultivation and grazing people, Why not let them spend money on some honorary military exploits? ”

"Of course, before proceeding, the imperial court should be sure that all the military merits that are purchased, the imperial court will not reward or give them a reward, but the seal that should be there must be must be indispensable, this thing is not valuable!"

Su Ren said it lightly, but the people who listened to it felt cold down their spines. Wang Hui was furious: "This is surprising, where is the majesty of the imperial court since then? ”

Su Ren smiled: "Doctor Yushi doesn't need to be so angry, the words of the lower officials have not been finished, to say something unpleasant, the people of the world don't care what the Han Tianwei is, and they don't know what the majesty of the court is, what they see is their own granary and the family's savings, the so-called family has surplus food and is not panicked, why did Taizu raise troops back then, and he was not forced by the tyrannical Qin to have no way to live?" Who dares to say that Great Qin at that time did not have majesty? ”

"Whether it is the majesty of His Majesty or the majesty of the imperial court, it is all based on the fact that the people can be fed and clothed. If Your Majesty cuts off the vitality that my Han has just recovered in order to conquer the Huns, even if it damages even a little bit, it will be a great matter in the hearts of the people! If nothing happens, everything will be fine, once there is a crisis, Daqin's old road is in front of you! ”

"Dead Words! Su is at your mercy! ”

Hearing Su Ren's words, he lowered his head and pondered, and he jumped like thunder if he didn't understand. Liu Che should be regarded as the party who understood, sitting on his throne and watching Su Ren, neither drinking the farce nor scolding Su Ren. There was anger on his face, but his eyes were full of contemplation. Qin's demise has been explained to himself by different masters since he was sensible, and the most talked about reason is naturally Qin's tyranny. But where is the tyranny, those masters only made a big fuss about the misuse of Li Si and Zhao Gao by the First Emperor Yingzheng.

Today's Su Ren's words made Liu Che seem to hear another reason for Qin's demise. Great Qin unified the six countries, and the prosperity was like the sky, so the first emperor Yingzheng made wrong decisions again and again under arrogance and pride. The conquest of Lingnan sent an army of 500,000, won the battle, and moved to Lingnan with a population of 500,000 in the Central Plains.

Secondly, build the Great Wall and various palaces, and recruit people from all over the world. Moreover, he did not implement the policy of rest and recuperation, and still followed the harsh laws of the Qin State, which forced Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to lead 800 hard labor to turn the Great Qin world upside down, thus opening the door to the destruction of the Qin State. Even if Zhao Gao and Li Si are good ministers and loyal ministers, they may not be able to cope with the counterattack of the whole world.

Su Ren is good at tea, and he is not in the Jianzhang Palace, the Xuanshu Hall is where he often comes, and the servants and maids here all know Su Ren's taste, so only the cases in front of him are tea, and it is the best tea. In the face of the attack of the ministers, Su Ren looked indifferent, and still drank tea and laughed by himself.

The general slapped his palm on several cases: "Wait a minute, what kind of noisy thing is it here for Your Majesty?" General Su's words are wrong and right, Your Majesty has his own decision, so there is no need to say more! ”

Dou Ying also said: "Everyone, today His Majesty summoned me and others to come to discuss the conquest of the Huns, Ziheng said his thoughts, whether it is right or wrong, it should not be so, if you have any objections, say what you want!" ”

Wang Hui immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Su Ren's words are inappropriate, military merit is the honor of a soldier, and the title is the foundation of the country, how can it be lightly awarded?" Such child's play, I hope Your Majesty will think twice! ”

Gongsun He smiled and said: "In this case, does the Imperial Doctor have a good plan?" The conquest of the Huns is not an overnight effort, in the next thought that there is no three or five years is not enough to kill the Huns, maybe it will take longer, such a big battle requires more than tens of millions of soldiers and grain and grass, if the imperial historian can take it out, we and other soldiers will definitely fight bravely to kill the enemy, do not kill the Huns and never return to the nest! ”

Gongsun He is the representative of the rich and noble princes, and their group of people rely on their ancestors to occupy the official positions of the imperial court, so that they can go into battle to kill the enemy, and they dare not say that they can be defeated at the touch of a button, at least they will not fight to the death. Therefore, they tend to bring their most trusted cloth with them when they go out on the expedition, just in case. How to win over these people has to figure out their own way, it is not difficult for their family to make some money, as long as they don't lose the battle, everything is easy to say. However, Su Ren's words gave them hope, who doesn't love military merits, but as an ordinary soldier, no matter how great your merits are, you will not be allowed to climb to a high position, and in the long run, you will often slack off at the end of the war, which will lead to a defeated battle.

Since Su Ren said that military merit can be bought and sold, it is better for some people to exchange military merit for money, and some people to exchange money for military merit, there is nothing bad about a fair trade between the two, everyone gets what they want, why not? In this way, there is no need to worry about the credit you have made being embezzled, and you will not worry that the extra credit will be useless. As those of them who don't want to fight but want to be promoted, it's nothing more than taking more money, who cares?

Gongsun He's words Wang Hui was speechless, the imperial court's taxes have increased greatly over the years, but it is not so big that there is no need to scruple about anything. Gongsun He said that tens of millions may still be less, if he really starts to fight, Wang Hui has also seen things that cost money like flowing water. He is a doctor of imperial history, and he naturally knows how much savings the court has, what to do when the savings of the court are used up? The only way to do this is to save for a way to increase taxes. If the world is unstable because of the increase in taxes, he Wang Hui may be Zhao Kun, Wang Zang, or Chao Cuo's end.

Guangluxun frowned and said, "Even if it is as General Su said, the imperial court does not have this money, and those businessmen have it?" ”

Meng Fangtian was attending such a meeting for the first time. He couldn't have imagined it before, even though he was sitting on the outermost side, almost going out, it still made his heart beat wildly. This is the palace, the person in front of him is the emperor, as a businessman, there are a few people who have seen the emperor, even if he is kicked out at this time, it is enough to show off to others for a lifetime, so Meng Fangtian knelt and sat very cautiously, his body was tense and straight, his eyes did not squint, and he didn't even dare to look at his eyes.

Meng Fangtian heard the words of the people above clearly, and it was only at this time that he was sure that Su Ren did not lie to them, this is a big business, and it is the biggest business in the world, as long as he can follow, don't say that he will not worry about this life, as long as his descendants are not stupid, he can enjoy the blessings of the five generations. Meng Fangtian didn't dare to take a breath, and quietly listened to the fierce quarrel in front of him.

"Where is Meng Fangtian?"

"The grass people are here!"

"I ask you, if I leave this matter to you, can you guarantee the supply of the army?"

Meng Fangtian's heart was in his throat, and it took a long time before a sentence came out: "The grass people must do their best, and they dare not live up to His Majesty's high expectations!" ”

Liu Che sneered twice: "What I ask is whether you can supply the needs of the army, can you or not?" ”

Meng Fangtian felt that his whole body was soaked, lying on the ground, and he felt that the people who were arguing had all put their eyes on him, and they were still hot. The entire Xuanmuro Hall was silent, and the sound of his own breathing could be heard.

"Grass people can do it!"

"Good! Come on, Su Ren said that it is useless for Shangjia to do business, what contract must be used to agree, I will sign a contract with Meng Fangtian Shangjia today, if you Meng Fangtian can do this, I will not spare any reward, if you can't do it, the consequences I will also make it clear, that is, to destroy the nine clans! Do you hear me? ”

Meng Fangtian almost fainted, and his body was like a sifting chaff: "The grass people heard clearly!" ”

"Very good! Su Ren, you can write the contract! I signed, Meng Fangtian signed, in triplicate I kept it, one to Meng Fangtian, one to the imperial doctor, if anyone breaches the contract, according to the contract! ”

"Yes!" Su Ren took the pen and ink sent by Liu Jiqing and began to write the contract.

Meng Fangtian's clothes were all wet, and he slowly raised himself tremblingly: "Your Majesty! ”

"Huh? Do you want to resist the decree too? ”

"No, no, no, the grass people don't dare, it's just that the grass people still have something to say."
