Chapter 1097 Jiang Wan, Guo Jia, and Xu Shu are all opposed
“ ?8? ???? ?.? U?8?XS`COM”
Nodding, Qin Gong Yingfei knew in his heart the worries of Prime Minister Jiang Wan and others, and the matter of conscription and labor was related to the great cause of the Qin State.
There is no room for error at this point.
Even if Qin Gong Yingfei is supreme in the Qin State, he must also care about the thoughts of the people and the civil and military officials of the Qin State, and must not act arbitrarily.
The thought flickered in his heart, Qin Gong Yingfei looked at Prime Minister Jiang Wan and the other three, and said word by word.
"Although the news of Zilong's invasion of the Xiongnu has not come, and the annexation of the state has been lost, Wei Liang has a lot to do in the matter of breaking through Huishui and killing the right virtuous king Tuoba Tianxia."
"As long as Hei Bingtai joins forces with the imperial court, it is enough to arouse public opinion in the Qin State, and coupled with the temptation of being exempted from three years of hard labor, it will definitely make the people of the Qin State flock to it."
When Qin Gong Yingfei said this, he turned his eyes and walked to the huge map on the table, and said.
"Moreover, this time we are not digging from scratch like Qin Shi Huang, we don't need to open mountains and fill valleys, but just check and fill in the gaps, and repair the areas that have been damaged in the past four hundred years."
"The requisition of one million laborers is enough to complete the planting in the spring and March, so that it will not affect the cultivation and harvest next year."
Speaking of this, Qin Gong Yingfei's eyes flashed with a gleam, looked at Jiang Wan and the others, and said: "From now on, as long as you don't encounter large-scale wars, 8 Xiao said? 8XS`COM”
"For a period of five years, 500,000 laborers will be levied every year to repair the tunnels in the northwest of Longxi and the Chi roads located in the territory of the Qin State one by one."
"At the same time, Lone plans to open a new gallop road to prepare for the use of troops after the unification of the world."
……
"Boom!"
Hearing Qin Gong Yingfei's words, and then remembering the ambition that Qin Gong Yingfei had told them, the three people led by the military advisor Guo Jia couldn't help but look at Hanzhou.
Hanzhou is too far away from the Central Plains, and they all know about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sending the general Li Guangli to attack Dawan, so they naturally understand how far Xianyang is from Dawan.
Thinking of this, Guo Jia and the three of them did not look very good, Hanzhou was formed by the annexation of the 36 countries of the Western Regions, and the territory is extremely vast, and it will be a big problem to open a new road.
Not only is it a long time, but the amount of construction is huge, and it even far exceeds the total amount of the Central Plains Chi Road ordered by Qin Shi Huang that year.
……
Thinking of this, the expressions of the three military advisors Guo Jia changed greatly, and Prime Minister Jiang Wan hurriedly bowed towards Qin Gong Yingfei and said.
"Your Majesty, now that the war has just passed, the entire Central Plains is in ruins, according to the current situation, it is not appropriate to levy the people on a large scale, and please consider one or two?? ? U8?small?? Say???.? U?8?XS`COM”
Saying this sentence as a courtier is equivalent to Jiang Wan's clear opposition, after all, since the Duke of Qin established himself in Dunhuang County, the civil and military forces of the Qin State have never clearly refuted the Duke of Qin.
Because of this, we can see the impact of the new open road on the Qin State and the resistance in the hearts of Jiang Wan and others.
The occurrence of this scene was somewhat unexpected by Qin Gong Yingfei. Prime Minister Jiang Wan's opposition made Qin Gong Yingfei's heart sink.
At this moment, Qin Gong Yingfei is the monarch of Qin, above tens of thousands of people, and his identity and status have already been turned upside down and have undergone tremendous changes.
It can be said that today's Qin Gong Yingfei no longer has the time when he had the idea in his heart and can act regardless of it.
Now that he is the monarch of Qin, he must think about the people of Qin and the civil and military officials.
This means that Qin Gong Yingfei has a fetters in his heart, and before deciding on a matter, there are more objective things to consider. Sometimes we know that this must be done, but we can't just do it.
Instead, it is necessary to consult with the three princes and nine secretaries and the civil and military officials, and must not be blind.
……
"What the prime minister said is very much, once the requisition of the people is too frequent, it will definitely affect the reputation of the king, and before that, the northwest Longxi tunnel and the other four major roads in the Qin State have been repaired within three years."
"This means that for at least three years, the Qin State must maintain 500,000 laborers at all times, which is already a very dangerous thing for the Qin State."
Taiwei Xu Shu's eyes flashed with a touch of solemnity, looked at Qin Gong Yingfei, and said: "When the initial emperor repaired the Lishan Mausoleum and Afang Palace, the labor in Guanzhong reached 700,000 and nearly 1 million, plus the repair of the Chi Road, the construction of the Great Wall in the north, the Lingqu in the south, and the use of troops abroad, so that the number of laborers in the Great Qin Empire remained at about 14 million."
"At that time, the Great Qin Empire annexed the six countries of the Kwantung region, looking at the world, and the power of the first emperor alone overwhelmed the world, even so, it also led to complaints."
"Now that our country has not yet unified the world, it is already the bottom line of the Qin State to levy 500,000 laborers to repair the tunnels in the northwest of Longxi, not to mention that the Qin State Hanliang and the four states benefit the four states, and the labor in each place is not less than 100,000."
"This has led to the annual labor rate of the entire Qin State being equal to one million, which is the bottom line of the Qin State, and once it is exceeded, it will inevitably cause public resentment to boil."
Speaking of this, Taiwei Xu Shu took a deep look at Qin Gong Yingfei, who was listening, and said, "At least within five years, we must not open a new road and increase the amount of labor in the Qin State." Moreover, in the past five years, no one dares to guarantee that the general trend of the world will remain unchanged, and the coexistence of the seven countries will not occur in a large-scale war. ”
……
"Please think twice, now that the Qin State is short of grain and grass, there are internal worries and external troubles, and there are Xianbei tigers eyeing the outside, and the six eastern countries are ready to raise troops to attack at any time."
"At this time, the new road of conscription and labor is opened, and the cumbersome amount of work and long-term labor are bound to make the people of the world miserable."
Military advisor Guo Jia's eyes flashed with a gleam, looked at the map for a while, and said: "In order to conquer the city in the future, there is a straight road on the curtain and there is naturally no need for a new one."
"If the minister's expectation is correct, the new gallop road that the king intends to open will definitely start from Xianyang and go west to Dawan County."
"There are incomplete statistics along the way, there are about 10,000 miles, and I am afraid that even if tens of millions of laborers are invested, it will not be possible to dig it in a short period of time."
The military advisor Guo Jia knew in his heart that digging a new gallop road was a thankless task, and it would not only require a lot of time, but also a large-scale tilt of financial and material resources.
At the beginning, Qin Shi Huang sent the general Meng Tian to repair the straight road, which was only 1,800 miles, which cost a lot of financial and material resources, let alone 10,000 miles.
……
"Hoo ......"
Hearing Jiang Wan and the others all say it, Qin Gong Yingfei once again realized the difficulty of digging the Xianyang Dawan Road, and he knew in his heart that it would be difficult to achieve it even if he poured the power of the Qin State into the country.
The 10,000-mile-long galloping road, without mechanical mountain reclamation, I am afraid it will be a world-famous project. Qin Gong Yingfei knew in his heart that even if science and technology were developed in later generations, a Lanyu railway would be built for nine years.
The whole line of Lanyu is only 1,600 miles, and with the blessing of the financial and material resources of the Heavenly Dynasty, it still takes nine years......
