The first early dynasty of the fourth year of Huangwu was naturally extremely grand.

After singing praises to virtue, my ears are calloused.

Yang Zheng looked at Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi willed, the court will enter the topic, "the minister thinks that the north and the south should not fight at the same time, when the concentration of forces to break through the Central Plains, break the Central Plains, then Jiangdong will not be able to last long, now Jiangdong Zhonghui and the Lu family will compete, evenly matched, our army does not attack the Eastern Wu, then the two sides will inevitably infighting, if our army sends troops, it will promote the union of the two families." ”

Lu Zhi's thoughts coincided with Zhang Te.

"What Taifu said is very true." Yang Zheng nodded in agreement.

No matter how much Zhong Hui tosses, it is impossible to change the general trend of the world.

In Yang Zheng's eyes, Wu is not a country, but just a community of interests of the scholars.

Even if Zhonghui defeated the Lu family, it would be difficult to integrate Jiangdong in a short period of time.

"Then from today on, the strategy of the Jin Dynasty will be determined, the military department will be trained, the household department will accumulate grain and grass, the Ministry of Industry will prepare weapons, and the top and bottom of Daqin will all take this as the goal."

It's time to prepare for the final blow to the Sima family.

Yang Zheng was no longer satisfied with attacking the city and plundering the land.

The luck of the Sima family has come to an end here with Sima Yan.

With today's Qin and Jin dynasties, it is impossible to appear in the historical East and West Wei.

Sima Zhao lost the battle of Feng Yi, Sima Yan lost the battle of Hedong, and the morale of the Central Plains has been completely crushed.

It is about to enter the final decisive stage.

The upward momentum of the land occupation system was curbed, and the Central Plains was full of thieves, and some people wanted to dig up the ancestral graves of the Sima family at every turn......

And the Junda system has just begun to break out.

The people are stable and full of confidence in the future of the country.

Although the population is not as large as that of the Central Plains, it is never the size of the population that determines the general trend of the world.

Lu Zhi frowned and said: "In this war, although Your Majesty won a great victory, the grain, grass, and money accumulated over the years were consumed. ”

A penny is hard to beat a hero.

As soon as the cannon fired, it was ten thousand taels of gold.

Although there were no cannons in those years, the various expenses were astronomical.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked the Xiongnu in the north, although he won the war, the country also reached the point of running out of oil and lamps.

"That's why I want to unify the world as soon as possible!" Yang Zheng also had a headache.

Three years of harvest can be left with one year's grain, saving three years of surplus grain is called "Deng", five grains are abundant, it takes nine consecutive years of harvest, two "Fengdeng" can be regarded as "Taiping......

Therefore, in ancient times, it took at least three years for the people to start a war.

The reason why the Qin state was able to wage such a large-scale war was because animal husbandry supplemented farming.

Otherwise, the great drought in the past few years, accompanied by locust plagues and plagues, would have made the Qin State weak.

Now, everyone knows that it is the general trend for the Qin State to dominate the world, but when this general trend will come, it is necessary to say two things.

There is only so much food production every year, and it is close to its peak.

Even if we get high-yield crops such as Champa rice now, it will take a lot of time to promote them.

Yang Zheng had two choices, one was to recuperate for five or six years, train soldiers, accumulate grain and grass, and then hundreds of thousands of Qin troops would go east and finish their work in one battle.

But if he doesn't move for five or six years, Sima Yan will gasp for breath.

Second, the method of encroachment, one city and one place, eat Luoyang and eat Xuchang, eat Xuchang after eating Xuchang, eat Central Plains after eating Xuchang, and eat Hebei after eating Central Plains...... The advantage is that if you don't take a piece of land, you can use war to support the war, but when you can destroy Sima Yan depends on whether the war goes smoothly or not.

It's too slow!

Both traditional methods are too slow.

The population of the entire Huaxia was not large, and if it continued to fight like this, the essence of the Central Plains was also exhausted.

Why was Li Tang able to reach an unprecedented height?

Yang Zheng felt that it was precisely because of the rapid unification of the world.

First, Li Yuan seized the opportunity and raised troops to attack Guanzhong, and then Li Er quickly defeated Xue Ju, Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande and other forces, Li Xiaogong defeated Bashu, and Li Jing quickly swept Jiangnan......

The Tang Dynasty seemed to be hanging.

"Daqin has today's momentum, all from the battlefield, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, if the battlefield is unfavorable, I am afraid that the Sima family will resurge, I hope Your Majesty will focus on the community and the people." The one who dares to say this is Lu Zhi.

To put it bluntly, there is a shortage of money and food now.

"The minister suggested that His Majesty levy more land taxes and commercial taxes." Wei Qian arched his hand.

Lu Zhi's brow couldn't help but furrow.

He didn't speak, Suo Jing said: "By all means, the people just have surplus grain in their hands, return to Daqin, if taxes are levied, people's hearts will be scattered, and if they encounter natural disasters and man-made disasters, they are only afraid of thieves everywhere. ”

The people of the Central Plains are relatively obedient, even if Sima Yan transferred the tax to the official eight and the second people, the people still obeyed.

But the Qin State is different from the Central Plains.

There are too many steppe tribes in the country.

Many people are submissive under the banner of Daqin because they have a bowl of rice to eat.

If taxes are raised and natural disasters occur, it will be a big chaos.

In history, Sima Yan's Taikang prosperity was in full swing, the continuous drought in Guanxi, and the continuous outbreak of chaos in Hexi, Guanzhong, and the bald tree function rose up, hanging and beating a group of "famous generals" of the Sima family.

Calculating the time, the continuous drought in Guanzhong seems to be in the past few years......

"Do I have to wait nine years and ten years?" Yang Zheng was a little discouraged.

I felt that my ambition had just been poured cold water on my face......

And all the people in the temple were silent.

This is how the growth of national strength is, one step at a time, and it cannot be false.

Yang Zheng tried to recall future generations.

When a poor country fights, either it is covered by a good big brother, or it is ...... Borrow money!

With the size of the Qin State today, who can you borrow money and grain from?

Koto?

Zhong Hui's guy must not be able to.

It is the Western Regions that has money, but there is no food in the Western Regions......

Moreover, these in the Western Regions are all shrewd and ruthless, and the Qin State will dominate the world, and the next one will come to toss them.

Sending more than a thousand beauties, isn't it to corrupt yourself?

His heart can be punished!

If you can't borrow money from outside, then it can only be domestic!

Yang Zheng's heart moved, can't future generations issue treasury bonds?

Following this line of thought, it seems feasible to borrow grain from the people and money from merchants.

Of course, there is another set of methods, the edict of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but the side effects of this thing are too great, and it is the same as the Sima family's occupation system, and it is also an aphrodisiac.

Overdrawing the government's credit hurts the people's confidence in Daqin.

Pay for one's whistle.

The Great Han did not collapse at the hands of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty because he gave birth to a good son.

Yang Zheng doesn't want to throw the mess to the next generation, the next generation has the mission of the next generation.

However, this matter needs to be considered in the long run, and it is not appropriate to reveal it at the court meeting before the idea is mature.

"I know that in the past two years, the soldiers have rested, recuperated, and dominated the world, regardless of it for the time being." Yang Zheng is no longer impatient.

It's useless to be in a hurry.

Lu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Qian was thoughtful.

Suo Jing arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" The Chinese Wu of the hall said in unison.

Then comes the rest of the trivia.

For example, opening up fields, adding pastures, compensating the dead and disabled soldiers, promoting and rewarding meritorious people, etc., in fact, they have been prepared for a long time, just waiting for Yang Zheng to cover the seal.
