The following is the text of the novel (author: Huaxia Jiuzhou) provided for you, please enjoy!

A series of orders made the ministers of Great Qin, who originally thought that after the rebellion was quelled, the emperor would focus on recuperation, and they all felt a kind of mountain rain that was about to come and the wind was full of buildings. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Ying Teng, Feng Quji and other old ministers all had a worried face. Obviously, it is a little unpredictable for Hu Hai to transfer troops to the north with such a large amount of money. After all, those places are not like the Central Plains, with a rich population and fertile land.

No one could understand why the Emperor would be interested in such a seemingly vast but barren and desolate land.

This is also the same as when the initial emperor unified the world, he launched a conquest of the poor mountains and bad waters in the south of the Lingnan.

It is impossible for the ministers of Great Qin not to think so.

After all, father and son have behaved so similarly.

After unifying the world, Lao Tzu immediately went south, and after unifying the world again, his son immediately went north. Lao Tzu set up three new counties in Nanyue, and his son set up four counties in Beidi.

The only difference is that the first emperor at that time was already old, and the current second emperor is only twenty years old.

Is this the beginning of another Great Qin chaos? The Great Qin Qunchen who was worried in his heart didn't know.

Parliamentary Hall.

The three dukes and nine ministers were still waiting outside the hall to be summoned, and Hu Hai was the only one in the council. No, there's another person.

"How's it going?" Hu Hai leisurely looked at the mountains of newspapers on the copper case and on the ground, and asked casually. Some of these recitals are paper, but more often than not, they are scrolls of bamboo slips.

Most of the paper ones are the recitals submitted by the officials of Xianyang Beijing, and the bamboo slips are submitted by the officials of the counties in the world. Looking at these bamboo slips, Hu Hai secretly said: Now that Daqin has basically been pacified, paper should be vigorously promoted to all counties in the world.

The method of making paper should also be released, otherwise just relying on Shangfang, I am afraid that 500,000 people will use it to make paper, and it will not be enough. What's more, if the light is transported out of the Guanzhong. I'm afraid that when I get to these places in Lingnan, a piece of paper can be like gold.

"Back to Your Majesty, I didn't find anyone behind the scenes."

A delicate female voice. Respectfully.

It was Yingliu who was in charge of the sixth lieutenant of the Longwei Mansion. The sixth lieutenant of Longwei Mansion is mainly responsible for the detailed work and information transmission in various places.

"What about Yingyi? Still in Liyang? Hu Hai threw a roll of bamboo slips in his hand onto the copper case and clapped his hands.

This is a letter from the Sanchuan County Guardian from the delivery. In the grain of Aocang, the grain in several warehouses has begun to mildew because it has been stacked for more than ten years.

Naturally, such a major event would not dare to conceal it. After all, Ao Cang can be said to be a warehouse that is stable in Daqin. Once the grain of Ao Cang rots too much. Great Qin will be shaken at all. You must know that the emperor has issued edicts one after another to exempt the people of the world from taxes and labor for three years.

That means, at least three years. There will be no new food replenishment in Aocang. Countless officials and nobles in Great Qin, countless nobles with titles, generals, soldiers, and families of heroes and martyrs who need to be compensated all rely on the grain of Ao Cang.

Although the grain stored in Ao Cang is used, even if there is no harvest in Daqin for ten years, it can still supply the needs of the people of the world. But being able to supply and rotting are not the same.

What Hu Hai sent Fang Youcong to Sanchuan County for, Fang Youcong was very clear. So he can be said to be the most conscientious one of the previous Sanchuan county guards except for Li You. On the second day of his arrival, he spent a full month carefully inspecting all the warehouses in Aocang. Subsequently. gave Hu Hai a detailed report on the grain stored in Aocang.

In a month, Fang You has to go to Aocang at least three times to inspect before he can feel at ease. It can be seen how sincere and fearful he is.

The people of Sanchuan are even more playful, and they are subordinate to Aocang County.

And Fang Youcong's report was the direct motivation for Hu Hai's decision to establish the four new counties in the north.

"Back to Your Majesty, according to the investigation of the Longwei Mansion. The rumors first originated in Liyang. And because there are a large number of old Qin family nobles in Liyang, there are many inconveniences in Longwei Mansion, so Commander Ying personally went to Liyang for interrogation. ”

"Let him come back. Those who have been killed and killed before are all counted, and as for those who are still locked up in Liyang Prison, let them go. I have said in the edict that this matter should be investigated closely and not made public. He was the dignified commander of the Longwei Mansion because of a rumor that even ordinary people had believed, and personally ran to Liyang to ask what was going on? Isn't this the place where there are no three hundred taels of silver, clearly telling those who have a heart that there is a ghost in my heart? ”

"Whoa!"

"Is there any news from the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Hu Hai supported his chin with his hand, casually flipped through a report placed on the bronze case, and asked lightly.

"Back to Your Majesty, there is no change in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Jing Yun and the others haven't been to the Prime Minister's Mansion since they came back?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Jing Yun and the others have not had any abnormalities, and since returning to Xianyang, they have mostly stayed in the Fan Mansion. It was also found that anyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion had contact with Jing Yun and others. It's just that...... It's just that on the second day after Jing Yun returned to Xianyang, Longwei Mansion found that a fine worker had been killed outside Xianyang City. ”

Yingliu was a little apprehensive.

"Oh?" Hu Hai, who was originally looking through the report, couldn't help but pause when he heard the words, "Monitor Jing Yun's meticulous work? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, that fine work is a few of Jing Yun's subordinates."

"Order the Dragon Guard Mansion to investigate this matter thoroughly. There is also the Longwei Mansion, don't look for ordinary people in the future. At the very least, you must have the ability to protect yourself. Hu Hai closed the report, lay down on the throne, and said softly.

He didn't get any news about this matter before, and Yingyi didn't report it to himself, obviously because he hadn't found any news yet.

Xiaozuo was killed when Jing Yun returned to Xianyang, which may not have anything to do with Jing Yun. But when he thought of the rumors circulating in Guanzhong at that time, he directly told Hu Hai that there must be a connection between the two that he did not understand.

Although Hu Hai said that he would investigate thoroughly, he knew that he could see that there was a problem, obviously it was impossible for Yinger, the old rivers and lakes who had been living in the dark, not to know that there were ghosts in it, but after several months, the Longwei Mansion had not found any news, and obviously even if he checked now, he might not be able to find any more news.

The person behind it is very deep.

However, Hu Hai is not in a hurry. After all, there will always be a day when it will emerge, which is like dealing with Jixia Academy. Thinking of Jixia School Palace, Hu Hai thought of Ji Xian, who jumped into the sea and ran away.

In the depths of winter, jumping into the sea, Ji Sin has a chance to survive.

Whether Ji Xian escaped or died, it was obvious that there was no way to explore the extermination of the Zhou royal family.

"Whoa!"

"Let's let your lords in." Hu Hai rubbed his head.

Things don't always go smoothly, even though he is now in power and the master of the world. However, a series of anomalies told Hu Hai that there are still people who are thieves and do not die.

The small is hidden in the wilderness, the middle is hidden in the city, and the big is hidden in the court.

It is very likely that this person is hiding in the Great Qin Dynasty.

But who will it be?

……

"Your Majesty!"

The three princes and nine ministers who had been waiting outside the hall and other important ministers said loudly in unison.

"Let's be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

In the council hall, the left prime minister Feng Quji, the right prime minister Li You, the old Zongzheng Yingteng, the emperor's study chief Shi Mengyi, the Shangji Mansion Cheng Zhang Cang, the imperial historian Doctor Dun weak, the Shaofu Ling Su Mo, the court captain Yao Jia, Fengchang Hu Wujing, the Zhisu Neishi Zheng Guo, the Shangji Mansion Zuofu Cheng Fan Jian, the guard Yang Ruihe, and the imperial servant Ma Xing, all of them were present.

Among the three princes and nine secretaries, several important ministers such as Taibao and General Meng Tian are in Jiuyuan, Taishi, Guowei Wei and Lang Zhongling Zhang Han are still on the way back to Xianyang, and General Feng Zheng is now in the South China Sea and is building roads. The pawn seat is vacant.

Now the thirteen people in the council hall can be said to be all the core ministers of Great Qin.

"I'll talk about Don Aiqing's objection first. There are two reasons for the creation of the four new counties. First, we want to expand our territory. Second, if they are not of our race, their hearts will be different. After Hu Hai finished speaking, he waited, and glanced at the important ministers in the hall, "Do you Aiqing still have any objections?" ”

Who can enter and leave this council hall and sit down to discuss with the emperor is not an old fox who has been in a high position for many years and has been up and down for many years.

The arrangement of Hu Hai's new four counties, the selection of the lieutenants of the four counties, and Hu Hai's concise and concise two sentences are enough to tell everyone everything they want to know.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The important ministers all stood up and bowed.

"I don't know if I'm holy or not, and you don't know now. But future generations will always know. Don Aiqing, do you think so? ”

Hearing Hu Hai's words, all the ministers had strange faces, and at this time, they realized that the emperor was still a young man. Because, the emperor still holds grudges.

Suddenly weak, still with a dead face.

"Back to Your Majesty, the old minister thought ...... Yes, too! ”

“……”

When Hu Hai heard the weak words, his mouth opened slightly, but he couldn't say a word.

Can you be shameless again? Is this a joke?

Among the monarchs and ministers, a small episode suddenly made the ministers feel much more cordial to Hu Hai. After all, anyone who faces a young emperor who will let his head lose at any time will have such a thrilling feeling.

"Well, since you Aiqing think so, then the dispatch of grain, grass, baggage, ordnance and armor will be handed over to the Shangji Mansion and the Zongzheng Mansion and the Zhisu Neishi Mansion. Complete the supply of food, grass and weapons for the army going north as soon as possible. This time, there was no need to call up labor, and the armies carried their own grain and grass. ”

"Your Ministers obey!"

"Now let's talk about another thing, have you ever heard of the rumors that circulated in Guanzhong three months ago?" Hu Hai asked casually.

As soon as Hu Hai's words came out, the atmosphere in the council hall that had just been relaxed instantly froze.

The huge council hall can be heard falling needles.

In the middle of the ring, none of the thirteen important ministers spoke. It's not that they don't want to say it, it's that they just don't know how to say it.

In fact, not long after the rumors spread in Liyang, their important ministers received the news one after another. After all, Yingyi, the commander of the Longwei Mansion, left Xianyang and went to Liyang in person, but he couldn't hide it.

It's just that because the measures taken by the Longwei Mansion are too fast, the rumors have not actually spread to Xianyang, or the ordinary people in Xianyang have rarely heard of them. On the contrary, among the ministers of Great Qin, this rumor is an open secret. (To be continued)
