Chapter 145: Father and Son Night Talk

Sitting in the empty palace, holding the so-called "eternal difficulty" bamboo slips, Zhao Zheng was drowsy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Pedal Pedal Pedal ~"

Zhao Zheng woke up from his dream and looked up to see that the palace people were changing the candles with small steps, and the palace under the flickering candlelight was like a vampire castle in a movie in the previous life.

It's too depressing, no wonder the princes of all dynasties have not lived long, living in this eerie and terrifying environment all day long, like a coffin, psychologically gloomy, physically gloomy, it is really early death and early transcendence.

"Eldest son, it's time to eat."

A person suddenly appeared in the dim light shadow, which frightened Zhao Zheng and almost threw the bamboo slips on the table.

Tables, chairs and benches have been used outside, but the royal palace with strict etiquette is still a low table and wooden couch to show the inheritance.

Zhao Zheng knocked on his numb leg, stood up on the table and said, "Let's go, take me to the restaurant." ”

The palace people didn't move, and they didn't know what the restaurant Zhao Zheng was talking about.

"I almost forgot, this is not a solid mountain", Zhao Zheng shook his head, in this depressing environment, he was uncomfortable for a second longer.

"Move the table out, and I'm going to eat by moonlight."

There are few people and many trees, there is no big industry, and there is no haze in the same way, the night in Xianyang is very beautiful in winter, and the cold silver light spreads all over the earth, and I don't feel refreshed when I look at it.

There are no tables and chairs, Zhao Zheng has to sit on his knees to eat, and he tried it at first, but he couldn't stand it after less than a cup of tea. Under the surprise of the palace people, Zhao Zheng picked up a large bowl of meat soup, drank it all, and then burped and said that it was unpalatable.

"The eldest son spares his life, the eldest son spares his life."

The palace people who passed the dishes immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, Zhao Zheng was surprised, it was nothing more than a meal, what did it have to do with fate.

"Get up and speak, when is Ben Gongzi going to kill you."

"The eldest son said that the food cooked by the villain was unpalatable, and according to the rules of the Qin Palace, the villain had to cut off his left hand.

The villain can only cook, how can he live in the future without his left hand, he has to starve to death, so the eldest son spares his life. ”

Zhao Zheng was stunned, if the cooking is not delicious, chop off one hand, the laws of the Qin State are so strict, if this continues, no one will dare to enter the palace to apply for a chef.

"Okay, you get up, my son said again, the food you cook is delicious, it's just not to my liking, I have time to go to the Home Inn branch in Xianyang to learn more another day."

The color, flavor, and flavor are all considered food, and you can only look at the food you just served, and you can't stand it, where do you have the heart to eat. ”

The palace remembered that Zhao Zheng used to open a tavern to make a fortune, and he created a hundred dishes like a family, and he had the reputation of the god of food.

"Who is that, let me ask you, is this how the nobles eat everywhere in the palace?"

"It's all the same, but the king and the eldest son's rice are more delicate, and there are more spices when stewing.

For example, the bowl of Yipin bird's nest that Gongzi drank just now has as many as eight kinds of spices alone. ”

"Eight kinds of spices, why are they still like toilet filth, they look so disgusting."

"Vomit~~"

Zhao Zheng turned his head and found Cheng Jiao lying on the railing, vomiting incessantly. It's like he's just heard himself.

"Brother Zhong, why are you uncomfortable?"

Cheng Jiao's face was pale, he was disgusted by Zhao Zheng's image metaphor just now, and saw Zhao Zheng holding a bowl of rice balls in his hand, somehow connected with sheep dung and eggs under the moonlight, and leaned down and vomited.

"The food in the palace has to be changed, look at Zhong Gongzi who has eaten it for so many years, he still feels disgusting, I want to go to my father and tell him that the food in the palace is as bad as feces and urine."

Zhao Zheng shook his head and left, leaving Cheng Jiao to vomit until the bile came out, weak, and dizzy, but he refused to eat.

Jingquan Palace, Zichu's dormitory, compared with other palaces, Jingquan Palace is not high in terrain and the area is not large. It seems that Zichu also knows that the house is high and windy, and the house is big and leaky.

As soon as he entered, Zhao Zheng smelled a smell of medicine, which was very strong, it seemed that Zi Chu had been sick for a while, and the room was very warm, and here Zhao Zheng saw a familiar thing - a stove, standing next to Zi Chu's bed, reflecting his sick face.

"Father, Zheng'er has sent you a greeting."

I don't know that there is no such thing as asking for peace at this time, Zhao Zheng casually took the lines in the Qing palace drama to fill the number. As a result, Zichu was very useful, and smiled and beckoned Zhao Zheng to his side.

"An hour ago, the infant Qi went out of Tongguan, and tomorrow he can enter the territory of Dazhou. Zheng'er, you can be honest, do you hate the widow and don't let you chase her. ”

Sitting in front of the stove, Zhao Zheng was a little dry, and poured two glasses of water, one to Zichu, and one to himself.

"It's a fait accompli, there's no point in hating or not, it's just that I don't understand, Daqin doesn't even have the courage to confront Da Zhou?"

The first time he drank the water poured by his son, Zichu drank it very slowly, almost again, and poured not a drop into his mouth before stopping.

"Pour another glass of water for the widow, and the widow will tell you why you can't go to war with Da Zhou."

Zhao Zheng poured a glass of water according to his words, this time he did not hand it to him, but fed it to Zi Chu, forty-one years old, Zi Chu was as old as fifty years old, with white temples and wrinkles.

"My father is old, and his body can't stand such a roast, so it's better to let the palace people put the stove farther away."

Zi Chu smiled and nodded, took out a silk book under the pillow, and handed it to Zhao Zhengdao: "There are 700,000 people with armor in Daqin, but the grain and grass in the treasury are less than one million stones, how can you fight a war without food."

Over the past few decades, the Qin army has suffered repeated defeats, and the elite has been consumed, with 700,000 soldiers and horses only superficial, more than half of them are just a number of villagers, and the real elite is less than 50,000. ”

"Fifty thousand?" Zhao Zheng exclaimed, according to the historical records of the early Warring States period in the other world, there were more than a dozen major wars and dispatched 200,000 strong soldiers, why did the Qin State have so few elites.

"It's already the limit, the silk book you see is a soldier who worked hard for three years after the first king lost Hangu Pass, and more than ten years have passed, and he must have slackened."

Zhao Zheng's jaw was about to drop, if he was so unlucky, he finally persuaded himself to lie and come to Qin State to recognize his father, just to be able to use the tiger and wolf division of the Qin State, but now he was told that the tiger wolf had retreated into a cat and dog.

"Father is teasing Zheng'er, Daqin's 700,000 soldiers, even if you take one out of ten, there are 70,000 people, how can there be only this person."

"Seventy thousand", Zi Chu smiled bitterly: "If there were really seventy thousand elites, the widow would have taken back Hangu Pass a long time ago." Don't look at the 50,000 elite soldiers, the widows rely on them to prevent them from being eaten alive by the princes of other countries. ”

"Military affairs, not to say that the bigger the country, the better, sometimes it is better for small countries and widows, such as your solid mountain, the land is not more than 100 miles, and the people are less than 200,000, but it is prosperous for a while, dominating the grassland, and even defeating the Eighth Division of the Great Zhou Yin led by Sima Zhi.

It's good that there are few people, although you can't collect much tax, you don't have to spend a lot of money to send officials to shepherd and guard, and you don't have to seal the nobles' food and places.

Gushan relied on trade routes from all over the country to gather millions of money and grain to support 20,000 elite soldiers; Daqin relied on agriculture and industry, and the money and grain that he had finally accumulated to fatten the aristocratic officials, and then to support the army, relying on this money and grain, do you say that he can feed 700,000 elite soldiers.

The only 50,000 elite soldiers are still saved from their mouths every year, and the widows have not repaired the palace for three years, and they have not increased their salaries for ten years. ”

Listening to Zi Chu's bitter words, Zhao Zheng's heart was completely cold, he thought that hugging the big tree of Qin State would save him some effort, but he didn't expect that this big tree was about to fall.

It is difficult to be an emperor, especially a king who wants to make a difference, and now the tax of Qin is only forty percent, but in the era of Qin Shi Huang in the previous life, the tax of Qin was as high as sixty and a half, and half of Thailand.

It is no wonder that the second Qin Dynasty died, conquered like a whale, unified the world for more than ten years, the treasury of Qin was empty, and there was no money to relieve the displaced people, and the countries were also dilapidated, and the Qin State could not scavenge oil and water.

So Chu and Han competed, and in four or five years, the population was reduced by half, and there was no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, and the white bones were exposed in the wild. Nature is miraculous, if there is not enough food, the population will be reduced, and finally enough people will die, and there will be enough food to eat, and the war will stop and enter the world.

If you think about it carefully, there has always been such a cycle in history, the development of the world and the increase of food wealth, the nobility will loot layer by layer, and finally the common people have nothing to eat, and the rebellion enters the troubled times, and the fight reduces the population to a certain extent, enough to eat, and then a new rule of the world.

Zhao Zheng's head was full of cold sweat, and there was such an unknown deception hidden under the ancient wisdom, vainly trying to conquer reunification by force, which would eventually bring about chaos and division.

"Zheng'er, you must understand, Daqin relies on farming and warfare to reward military merits, but the more military merits are awarded, the heavier the burden on the people. After each war, the widows had to increase their taxes to reward those who had done good.

Historians often say that the poor army is ruined, and the country is just a slow poor army, and the widow has the heart to change the law to rectify it, but the body is not as good as day by day, and this problem is probably going to be handed over to you. ”

"Don't, I'm here to be a rich second generation, not a coolie", Zhao Zheng instantly had the idea of escaping from the Qin State, and accidentally chose such a hard profession.

Isn't it said that he came through to experience the pastoral life of the evil feudal landlords, why hasn't the BMW beauty enjoyed it, and a big burden fell from the sky.

"I ...... I'm afraid that the child is still too young to take on this great responsibility, and my father still chooses someone else.

At this time, the child just wants to ask his godfather how to get Ying Qi and your grandson back from Ji Yan's old fellow. ”

Zi Chu touched his head and said with a smile: "Wu'er, don't worry, the widow has already made arrangements, Li Xin will lead the 20,000 Heishui Banner Army, and control the 100,000 Qin troops on the front line of Tongguan, and march towards Yiyang.

As for Ying Qi, he still has to think about it in the long run, Ji Yan believes in the destiny of heaven, and since Ying Qi hinders him, all the widow can do is force him not to do anything about Ying Qi for the time being, as for taking her back to Qin, it is not something that can be done now. ”

"The child knows, and will not embarrass her father, as long as she is alive, the child will not go to trouble every week.

However, the Five Kingdoms Expedition Zhou Alliance once decided to send troops in Layue, and now it is approaching the end of the year, and the children do not send troops, and they are afraid of losing their trust. ”

After delays, it has now entered the middle of the lunar month, and the rhetoric that has no week in the world seems to be only rhetoric, and none of the five countries has sent troops.

"How naΓ―ve is Zheng'er, who can say with whom the countries are fighting, even if you send troops according to the agreement, the other four countries will not send troops.

The situation has changed, you are no longer the Gushan Jun who wanders away from the summers, any country has a chance to win over, you are now the eldest son of the Qin State, they must be weighing, if you continue to form an alliance, will you fall for the tricks of our tiger wolf Qin State. ”

Speaking of this, Zi Chu laughed and said that the Tiger Wolf Qin Kingdom now almost only has one name left, but even this name still deters Zhuxia from daring to use troops against Qin.
