Confirming that Wang Mang's consciousness had left, Wang Jian immediately ordered Wang Yi, who was still stationed in Hanjiang City, to come back. When Wang Yi received the order, he naturally immediately returned to Hanguguan.

"How could Your Majesty give such an order?" Wang Yi said with an incredulous expression: "Although Hanjiang City is not a rich place in Korea, it is much better than Hangu Pass, if you can occupy Hanjiang City and use Hangu Pass as the hinterland, then Hanjiang City will definitely become a bright pearl in my Great Qin territory." ”

"You can think of anything you can think of, Your Majesty. "Wang Jian never underestimated Wang Mang, and even Wang Jian has always looked up to Wang Mang by a few points, Wang Mang's performance is simply beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and his ideas are completely boundless, such as asking him to blow up Hanjiang City when necessary to prepare for it in Hanjiang City this time, Wang Jian has never thought of it before.

"But why did Your Majesty do this?" Wang Yi said.

"Because after Han and Zhao joined forces, their forces were extremely huge, if they couldn't effectively clear their forces, then the battle of my Great Qin would be very difficult to fight. Wang Jian said.

"Is it easy to blow up Hanjiang City?" Wang Yi said: "Hanjiang City is personally garrisoned by me, although the enemy army is powerful, but it is not without the strength of a battle. ”

"Confused!" Wang Jian glared at Wang Yi fiercely, pointed to the map and said, "You give me a good look, if Han and Zhao want to attack my Great Qin, which is the best way?"

"Naturally, it's Hangu Pass. Wang Yi said: "The north and south of Hangu Pass are lofty mountains and mountains, many areas are deserted, there are countless beasts, and walking through those areas is increasing countless risks out of thin air." ”

Therefore, Han and Zhao vowed to go to Guguan to attack Qin. Wang Jian said coldly: "Let me ask you how many soldiers and horses can be dispatched by the two countries of Han and Zhao together, and how many soldiers and horses can I send from Daqin now?"

"Han and Zhao have five million standing forces alone, and the combined strength of the two countries is 10 million, and the two countries can easily attack Qin with 200 to 3 million men, and if necessary, they can even send tens of millions of troops to attack us. Speaking of this, Wang Yi was in a cold sweat and couldn't help but keep his mouth shut, he also found out that something was wrong.

Wang Yi was born in the Wang family, is a military family of the Qin State, he knows the military strength of the Qin State best, the Qin State is barren land, does not feed a large population, and the standing army of about 3.5 million people, including the Yulin Wei who defended Chang'an, is less than any country in Han and Zhao, let alone the two countries joining forces.

"Found out?" Wang Jian said coldly: "Han and Zhao join forces, we are not opponents, the two countries far surpass us in terms of military strength, we can only rely on the Hangu Pass, with the Hangu Pass, our Qin State can be one enemy and two." ”

After a pause, Wang Jian continued: "Hanjiang City is indeed a good place, but it is not a good place to defend, if Hanjiang City is extremely strong in defense, we will not occupy Hanjiang City so easily, if you do your best to defend Hanjiang City, how many men will my Great Qin sacrifice in Hanjiang City?"

"So Hangang City can only give up. Wang Yi said unwillingly: "It's just a pity that it's a male city!"

"There's nothing to be sorry for, if this victory is over, not to mention Hanjiang City, even the land hundreds of miles east of Hanjiang City will all be in my Great Qin's pocket. Wang Jian pointed to the map and said: " Hanjiang City is the closest city to Qin from Qin, this city is of great use, if we withdraw, South Korea and Zhao will definitely organize a large number of elite soldiers to be stationed in Hanjiang City, at that time, as long as a dead soldier is sent to detonate Hanjiang City, the Han-Zhao coalition army stationed in Hanjiang City will definitely die a heavy death, and I can eliminate a large number of elite soldiers of Han Zhao without wasting our efforts to lay a solid foundation for our Great Qin to defeat the two countries' coalition forces, so we must do this thing, even if it is not Your Majesty's will, it is for Daqin, we must also do this。 ”

"What about the civilians in Hanjiang City?" Wang Yi said after a moment of silence: "Once Hanjiang City is blown up, won't these civilians living in Hanjiang City die together?" ”

"Drive them out of town. Wang Jian said: "You retreat in Hanjiang City for a few days, and then arrange a few more weekdays that you like to be powerful and blessed. Jealous and greedy villains went to manage Hanjiang City, let them mess up the Hanjiang City, and arranged for people to walk in Hanjiang City, saying that the Qin State was ready to replace the people of Hanjiang City with the people in the Qin State Pass, and wanted to move the people of Hanjiang City to the bitter cold land in the northwest of Qin, so that many civilians would have to leave Hanjiang City on their own, and when the people were almost gone, those who did not leave would be pushed out directly, and those who did not leave would be left to fend for themselves. ”

"Understood. Wang Yi nodded and said, "Do you want the soldiers to withdraw?"

"Withdraw some of them first, in the name of changing guards. Wang Jian said: "You must let the villains who you sent to manage Hanjiang City know that Hanjiang City is currently unmanaged and chaotic, and there are opportunities to fish in troubled waters everywhere, and at the same time, you must spread rumors in place, and even further blacken the propaganda, anyway, let the people of Hanjiang City find a way to escape from the city." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it. Wang Yi took a deep breath, nodded, and went out.

After some action, Wang Mang's consciousness returned to Chang'an City, quite tired, and the requirements for spiritual power outside the spirit object were extremely high, even if Wang Mang was now a god cultivator, he was a little unbearable.

Closing his eyes and thinking for a moment, Wang Mang summoned Lin Yuxin, Lin Yuxin has been presiding over the deployment of forces from all over the palace to spy on intelligence, and when Wang Mang summoned him, he flew over.

"What's the news in the city?" asked Wang Mang.

"The big side of the city is still mainly talking about His Majesty and Zhang Jian's affairs, and they are deeply impressed by His Majesty's bearing, and at the same time, they are deeply envious that Zhang Jian can get such a great grace. Lin Yuxin said: "In a big way, this time Your Majesty returned to Chang'an, and several actions were deeply reflected in the hearts of the people, and the people of Chang'an City were in awe of Your Majesty. ”

"Is there any talk about Wang Jingyao?" Wang Mang said.

"There are some, but they don't call for this traitor, they basically think that Wang Jingyao is like a clown who jumps off the beam, how dare to go against His Majesty, dare to rebel in Chang'an City, it's like looking for death. Lin Yuxin said: "As for the fact that Wang Jingyao is followed by fifty Jindan masters, although there are only a few words circulating, they are basically regarded as rumors, and the people in the market only think that the innate masters are strong, where would they know that the gods are hundreds or thousands of times stronger than the innate ones." ”

"What do you say about rewarding farming?" Wang Mang said.

"It's all good. Lin Yuxin looked at Wang Mang with admiration and said: "I have to say that Your Majesty's step is simply deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the people don't care about those vain things, they will naturally say that Your Majesty is good when they get benefits, and now Your Majesty in the entire Chang'an City is already a Buddha-like existence in ten thousand families, and some people say that Your Majesty Wencheng Wude is the most holy son of heaven since the founding of Great Qin, at this time, if anyone dares to stand up and say a word against Your Majesty, the people of Great Qin will tear this person alive." ”

Wang Mang had expected that rewarding farming would convince hundreds of people, but he didn't expect the effect to be so obvious.

Looking at Wang Mang's surprised expression, Lin Yuxin said: " Your Majesty knows my origins, I am also reckless, I know the lives of the people very well, Nanyang is already one of the richest places in Qin, but it is Nanyang City, more than 50% of the people are living very poor, which naturally has the reason of the barren land, but it can also have a certain relationship with the tax too heavy, Qin's finance mainly comes from taxes, and the bulk of taxes is agricultural taxes, Daqin must maintain the stability of taxes to ensure the operation of officials and the army, among which agricultural taxes are perennially high, and even have reached the level of five taxes and one, it can be said that a farmer cultivates for a year, except for costs, most of them have paid field rent and taxesNow His Majesty has directly cut half of the agricultural tax, and if there is merit, it can be reduced again, it can be said that hundreds of people will live because of His Majesty's policy, how can His Majesty not let the people be loyal. ”

Wang Mang couldn't help but be moved when he heard Lin Yuxin's words, and said: "I only thought that the most direct way to reward farming is to reduce taxes, but I didn't expect this layer, if this is the case, the people of my Qin State will live too poorly." ”

"Yuxin is only talking about the situation in Nanyang, half of the area of Daqin is not as good as Nanyang City, and the people in many places are living more difficult, so much so that I heard that the population in many places is decreasing. Lin Yuxin said.

"What's going on with the depopulation?" said Wang Mang.

"I don't dare to give birth, I can't afford to give birth, I can't afford to raise it. Lin Yuxin said: "A half-sized child eats more than an adult, and the family background is not thick and really can't afford to raise children, so that the people in many places dare not have children, the more they don't have children, the more serious the problem is, to some serious places, it is said that many villages can't even find men and women of the right age, so how can there be a lot of people?"

"This is the first time I've ever known about the problem of depopulation. Wang Mang said: "It seems that tomorrow I will discuss with Shangyang and them about encouraging childbirth, and to become a strong country, population is always indispensable." ”

Looking at Lin Yuxin, Wang Mang said, "Thank you for reminding me about this." ”

"Yuxin is His Majesty's person, and everything will be considered for His Majesty. Lin Yuxin's face turned red.

Wang Mang watched his heart move, and his heart was on fire, and he fished Lin Yuxin over and went directly to the bedroom, where he was green, fat, red and thin, and in the red gauze tent.

"Your Majesty, don't want it, Yuxin still has something to report?"

"That's not in a hurry, it's more important......"

Deng Fang carefully closed the door of the dormitory, and then silently guarded the door alone, and no one was allowed to enter.

After a while, Lin Yuxin lay lazily in Wang Mang's arms, Wang Mang gently brushed Lin Yuxin's back, and said softly: "Do you want a name?"

"I am already very satisfied to be able to follow His Majesty Yuxin, how dare I ask for a name. Lin Yuxin's body stiffened and shook her head.

"Tell me?" Wang Mang looked at Lin Yuxin and said: "Don't try to hide it from me, your mouth can deceive people, but your body can't deceive, your body's reaction is very clear." ”

A trace of confusion flashed on Lin Yuxin's face, and she said blankly: " Your Majesty knows, I followed Your Majesty at the beginning of the actual unkind, I originally wanted to find a chance to get close to Your Majesty and then have the opportunity to kill Your Majesty to avenge Zhao Moqi, I was very confident at that time, after all, I am also a genius, but soon I knew that I was wrong, I was too wrong, not only His Majesty's cultivation was quickly raised to the point of despair, but also because I am a woman, when a woman gives her body to a man, her heart is actually handed over, I don't understand so I lost this gamble, I lost very badly, lost my body and my heart。 “

Looking up at Wang Mang, Lin Yuxin said softly: "I am not an innocent woman, I also have different intentions when I go to Your Majesty's side, Your Majesty knows this, and the Queen Mother also knows, so I want a name, even if Your Majesty agrees, the Queen Mother will not agree, and the Queen Mother will never let a person who has a different heart for Your Majesty be by Your Majesty's side, even if it is only once." ”

"If you want it, I will give it, it doesn't matter what the Queen Mother wants. Wang Mang said.

"Nope. Lin Yuxin shook her head and said: "If you don't get the approval of the Queen Mother, your reputation will never be a name, and it's a joke to say it." Besides......"

"What's more?" Wang Mang said.

"And I can't ask for that title. Lin Yuxin let out a long breath.

"Why?" said Wang Mang.

"Because I can't get past this hurdle in my heart. Lin Yuxin said: "The sage taught us not to forget our original intentions, my original intention of approaching Your Majesty and even committing to Your Majesty is to kill Your Majesty, but now I can't do it for various reasons, take a title, I can't do it, it will only make me feel that I am the most shameless woman in the world, so I don't want a name, I just need to be the woman behind Your Majesty, and see the danger behind it for Your Majesty." ”

"You're good. Wang Mang gently lifted Lin Yuxin's face, and looked at Lin Yuxin very seriously for the first time, Wang Mang had never looked at Lin Yuxin seriously before, this time Wang Mang looked very carefully, and suddenly found that Lin Yuxin's eyes were very clean, clean without a little dirt.

Pure people!

Wang Mang said secretly in his heart, and then said: "I have a place reserved for you by my side at any time, and you can come to me at any time if you want." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Lin Yuxin suddenly smiled and said: "Actually, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about the lack of women in the harem, as soon as the news of Your Majesty's draft girl spreads, the entire Daqin is boiling, and countless people are watching, many families have already sent show girls to Chang'an, I have secretly gone to see them, they are all stunning girls, Your Majesty is blessed." ”

"Huh. Wang Mang said angrily: "That sect ordered Wang Xiu to go to the draft without my consent, I asked people to find evidence of his guilt, and he was originally going to repair him in the main hall, but I didn't expect his ability to pretend to be faint is not small." ”

"Lord Zongling woke up after being carried home from the main hall, and directly sealed the door to indicate that no one was seen. Lin Yuxin chuckled and said, "This sect order has frightened Your Majesty. ”

"It's good to scare him, save him from causing trouble for me. Wang Mang snorted coldly and said: "After all, he is the clan commander of the clan, although he has no sense of existence in the court, but he has a lot of status among the royal clansmen, and he has some power. ”

"Then why don't I scare him again?" Lin Yuxin smiled maliciously.
