In the mind of King Qin Zhao, the Qin State will sweep away the countries and unify China in three or five years, and it will be completed in three or five years.

After all, he doesn't have much to do, how many more years can he live? He really wanted to complete the great cause of unifying China in his lifetime, and Bai Qi's words were too shocking.

Moreover, this is still the best situation, above the battle array, it is changing rapidly, and no one can say what will happen. However, it can be expected that the Qin state will sweep away the other countries and unify China for more than six and a half years.

This does not include the Yan Kingdom, Bai Qi regarded the Yan Kingdom as being destroyed by the Xiongnu. If Yan Guo is included, this time will be even longer.

"Can't you shorten the time?" King Qin Zhao's eyes were blazing, he looked at Bai Qi, and asked in a deep voice.

Bai Qi didn't speak, just shook his head slowly.

This shaking head didn't matter, and King Qin Zhao's heart sank straight down, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

His days were numbered, and he was eager to complete the great cause of unification in his lifetime. Is he still alive after six and a half years?

"Your Majesty, the general just counts the conquest, and the minister also counts the governance." Fan Sui raised his eyebrows and said: "Great Qin swept away the countries and unified China, not only to unify the territory, but also to govern, but also to govern well, only in this way can it be truly unified." ”

"Hmm." Qin Yiren nodded heavily, approving in approval.

The destruction of the nations and the completion of the unification of the territory are only the beginning of the great cause of unification, and there are still many things to be done and to be governed. If it is not governed, it is only the unification of the territory, not the real unification.

Historically. There are a lot of big-name empires. They have a vast territory. In the end, it was torn apart, why? Because they didn't govern well.

The most famous example is the Mongols. The Mongols swept across Eurasia and built a staggering empire that spanned Eurasia, including present-day China, Russia, and the Middle East, the largest empire in human history, but eventually fell apart.

The reason for this is that the Mongols can only bend their horses. will not govern. In the three parts of the Mongol Empire, Kublai Khan's governance of China was quite successful, and the other two parts are difficult to see.

Also, the Alexandrian Empire, the Roman Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, the Arab Empire, the Ottoman Empire...... These empires, which were shocked for a while, perished one after another.

The reason is also that there is no good governance, no integration of different peoples, and no creation of a civilization that is acceptable to all.

"You can know that if you want to govern well. How long does it take? King Qin Zhao's face was ugly, but Fan Sui acted as if he hadn't seen it. Rhetorical question.

"How much time does the prime minister think it will take?" King Qin Zhao didn't want to ask this question, but he had to ask.

He doesn't have much time to come, and it is a question whether he can complete the unification of the territory in his lifetime, and as for the problem of governance, he can't take care of it even more, and Fan Sui's problem is really too much of a blow to him.

As the king of a country, if he doesn't know how long it takes to govern, it will be a big joke, and he has to ask.

"Yichen estimates that it will take twenty years to make the world recognize and accept Great Qin." Fan Sui's words were too shocking.

"Twenty years?" An exclamation sounded, and King Qin Zhao, Bai Qi, and Meng Fu all looked incredulous.

Bai Qi and Meng Fu are military generals after all, and they really don't know much about this kind of governance.

"That's right, twenty years!" Fan Sui nodded heavily under the gaze of everyone, affirmed a sentence, and said, "You think I'm talking nonsense, right?" Well, let's do the math. ”

"Do you want to settle accounts again?" King Qin Zhao was a little upset when he heard this.

After calculating an account in vain, his dream of dominating the world seems to be far away from him, Fan Sui will calculate another account, isn't this even farther away from him?

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, how big is the territory of the world? How many people are there? How much is the tax? Where are there many mouths and where are there few mouths? Where is the rich, where is the poor? Where are the plains, where are the mountains? Fan Sui asked loudly.

"......" King Qin Zhao's mouth and mouth are dead, and the fish mouth is compared, and he is so big that he can't speak for a long time.

"It's not simple, don't you know when you check the books?" Ying Xuan raised his throat and said, and cracked the corners of his mouth, and said disdainfully: "Such a simple thing, do you need to ask?" ”

"What the third prince said is very true, you will know it when you check ......the picture book," Fan Sui shook his head slightly.

"Huh. The prime minister has won the award, where, where. Ying Xuan really thought that Fan Sui was praising him, so he raised his head and puffed up his chest very complacently.

Qin Yiren couldn't help but laugh when he saw it in his eyes, he deserved to have developed limbs and a simple mind.

“…… However, looking at the world, in addition to Daqin's picture books to check, where to find picture books? Sure enough, Fan Sui asked rhetorically.

"......" King Qin Zhao's mouth opened wide again, and he couldn't speak.

Fan Sui asked the most realistic and important question. Since Zhou Tianzi lost his morality, the world was in chaos, the princes were conscripted, and the Son of Heaven could not be controlled. The world is getting more and more chaotic, and who cares to know how many people the country has and how many taxes it pays, and they are busy going to war.

Some people may say that if the princes want to levy, they need population, money and food, and the princes can collect taxes and build armies, and of course they know these basic data.

There is truth to this, but the problem is that none of the data is correct. Why?

Because the system of sub-feudalism is implemented, the Son of Heaven wants to seal the princes, the princes want to seal the ministers, the ministers want to seal the retainers, and the retainers have to seal the retainers...... In this way, it is sealed layer by layer, which is shrouded in layers of privilege. The data known to the princes has long been distorted and concealed.

Wouldn't the benefits of his own fiefdom be greatly underreported by the public and underreported by the people in their own fiefdoms? Who wants to tell the truth?

In this way, where is the real data.

The number of population, the distribution of population, the distribution of resources, and the traffic situation are precisely the basic data that cannot be missing to govern a country.

Looking at the world, only Qin has the most real data in this regard, which is this. It has been proven by history.

I know it. Liu Bang entered Guanzhong. After the capture of Xianyang, the generals were busy snatching gold, silver, treasures and beauties, but Xiao He didn't care about these, he took away the Qin State map in Xianyang Palace. This move benefited the Han Dynasty immensely, and it quickly mastered the situation in the world, which played an immeasurable role in the struggle between Chu and Han.

People are praising Xiao He's vision. In fact. We can think about it the other way, if these books are not real and detailed enough, how dare Xiao use these books as a basis? Can Liu Bang still take advantage?

"After Daqin unified the world, the first task was governance, and if you want to govern, the first thing is to feed the people. Fan Sui's voice was not high, but it made people dare not have the slightest doubt.

There is no such basic data. There is a lot of truth in not being able to govern the country.

"Prime Minister. Don't say it, the widow knows that if you want to govern it well, if you want to use the power of Shandong, it will take a long time. Seeing that Fan Sui was about to speak again, King Qin Zhao hurriedly waved his hand to stop him.

This Fan Sui is too capable of hitting people, if he lets him say it all, he doesn't know how to hit people.

"In this way, if Great Qin sweeps away the nations, unifies China, and then uses the power of Shandong to conquer the Xiongnu, it will be at least ten years later." King Qin Zhao was also an understanding person, although he was unwilling, he had to accept this fact, and said in a deep voice: "Ten years later, Great Qin will go to fight against the Xiongnu again, and by that time, the Xiongnu will be very strong and difficult to deal with. In this way, if the Xiongnu can't be allowed to sit big, Daqin has to be saved. ”

Ten years later, the Qin state was free to deal with the Xiongnu, and by that time, the Xiongnu would have long been too strong to speak.

You must know that the land of the Hetao is extremely important, it is not only an extremely important strategic springboard, but also a natural pasture. If it falls into the hands of the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu can have more cattle and sheep, with more cattle and sheep can have more population, with more population can have more troops, this threat is too terrible.

Moreover, the Hetao was overwhelmed by the Central Plains and took advantage of it, and the Xiongnu used this as a strategic springboard to advance west and east, which was very useful, and they would conquer a large area of land in ten years, and their strength would skyrocket.

The consequences were so terrible that although King Qin Zhao was unwilling, he had to face up to the reality and had to send troops.

"Since we have to save it, then, let's discuss how to save it?" King Qin Zhao's eyes flashed, and he glanced at everyone.

"Father, in the opinion of his sons, it is better to send 50,000 troops north and defend the city. In this way, Great Qin will be able to continue to advance eastward, sweep away the nations, unify China, and achieve great achievements. Ying Xuan hurriedly said.

"Hmm. Reasonable. King Qin Zhao frowned, agreeing with this.

If he wanted to give up eastward expansion and concentrate on going north to deal with the Xiongnu, he was definitely unwilling.

"Your Majesty, the words of the third prince are also bad." Bai Qi retorted and said: "Although the Great Qin Ruishi are good at fighting and have the power of the soldiers, however, with only 50,000 people, they can't help the Huns, and the Hetao will be lost." ”

"One hundred thousand, is it enough?" King Qin Zhao thought about it, if he sent an army of 100,000 to the north, it was not impossible.

"Not enough." Bai shook his head.

King Qin Zhao really wanted to hear Bai Qi say enough, and when he heard this, he couldn't wait to strangle Bai Qi to death.

Although at present, the Qin State wants to go all out to the east and send an army of 100,000 troops, it is still acceptable. In this way, it can not only resist the attack of the Xiongnu, but also do not affect the destruction of the countries, the best of both worlds.

"Do you think you want to keep the land of the Hetao alive, how many soldiers will you need?" King Qin Zhao stared at Bai Qi and asked in a deep voice, very displeased.

"The 100,000 people can only keep the border intact, but they can't keep the land of the Hetao. 200,000 can pose a huge threat to the Huns, and if it is 300,000, the Huns can fight and break it. Bai Qi thought for a while.

"Three hundred thousand?" King Qin Zhao was like a fire burning his buttocks, and he jumped up: "Mobilize 300,000 troops to the north, how can the widows sweep away the countries and unify China?" ”

Bai Qi's words are very reasonable, although the Qin army is good at fighting, after all, the Xiongnu have 500,000 people, and the 200,000 Qin army can only pose a threat to the Xiongnu, and may not make the Xiongnu jealous. If you have 300,000, you will be able to defeat the Huns.

The question is, how many troops did the Qin State have? If 300,000 are transferred, there will be no drama in this eastward expansion, and if you want to sweep away the countries wholeheartedly, King Qin Zhao, who will unify China, will not be angry if she is not angry.

Bai Qi, Fan Sui, and Meng Fu all lowered their heads and were silent, how could they be willing?

"Father, in my opinion, you have all misunderstood something." Qin Yiren smiled slightly: "You have always thought that only by sweeping away the countries and unifying China is an immortal feat. In fact, breaking the Huns and protecting the territory and the people is also a miracle that the three kings and five emperors have never done! ”

"Huh?" Suddenly, King Qin Zhao's eyes shone brightly, like the scorching sun above the nine heavens. (To be continued.) )
