Chapter 194

Outside Xianyang Palace, Xiao He and Meng Tian met together.

"Xiaguan has seen Lord Taiwei." Xiao He saluted Meng Tian.

Meng Tian dismounted and asked, "Lord Xiao was also called by His Majesty?" ”

"It seems that Lord Taiwei was also summoned by His Majesty." Xiao He said with a smile.

Meng Tian frowned and said, "Lord Xiao, why do you think Your Majesty called me and me here?" ”

Xiao He thought for a while and said, "If the lower official didn't guess wrong, it might be for military expenses." ”

"Is it for..." Meng Tian already had some guesses in his mind.

"Lord Taiwei, let's go into the palace, don't let Your Majesty wait." Xiao He said.

"That's what I'm saying, Lord Xiao, please."

The two walked into the Xianyang Palace one after the other.

The two stopped in front of the main hall, and the eunuch said that His Majesty the Emperor was discussing the matter of the Police Department with Lord Wang Qian, and the two of them needed to wait here for a while.

Meng Tian looked at Xiao He and said, "Lord Xiao, it is said that the current police department spends more money than my Great Qin army, is it true?" ”

Xiao He was stunned, why did Meng Tian suddenly ask this, this is all in accordance with His Majesty's will.

Xiao He said: "The police department was first established, mansions were built in various places, and officials were studied, all of which required money, so the money used by the police department recently is indeed relatively large. ”

"Police Division officers still have to learn?" Meng Tian asked.

"Yes." Xiao He said: "Lord Taiwei, the officers and police officers of the Police Department must study, learn how to regulate neighborhood relations, how to maintain law and order, how to handle cases, etc., and also carry out ideological study to avoid the phenomenon of bullying and dominating the market. ”

"Thought learning? What is it? Meng Tian asked.

Xiao He said: "This is said to have been created by Qin Xigongzi, which is similar to Xueli. ”

Meng Tian shook his head and said, "It seems that this police department is not simple. ”

Xiao He smiled and didn't say much, he didn't know much about the Police Division, but he had to deal with the ministries to manage the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so he still knew a little bit about the fur of the ministries.

After the two waited outside the main hall for a long time, Wang Jian walked out of the main hall.

Today's Wang Jian is more energetic than before, and he still walks with a tiger's style.

After Wang Jian saw the two, he walked over and said hello.

"Old general, has Your Majesty summoned the two of us?" Meng Tian asked.

"Nope." Wang Jian said: "The old man has a lot of affairs now, so I won't talk to the two of you here, and I will leave first." ”

Wang Jian and the two arched their hands, and then strode away.

Looking at Wang Qian's back, Xiao He said: "General Wang has a lot of spirit. ”

Meng Tian said: "The dirty work in my Great Qin Army has been done by the old general, and I am really ashamed to be a captain!" ”

At this time, a eunuch came over and said to the two, "Two adults, Your Majesty let them in." ”

The two of them immediately tidied up their clothes before walking towards the main hall.

In the main hall, after the two of them saluted, the First Emperor said, "Sit down." ”

"Your Majesty"

After the two sat down, they quietly waited for the First Emperor to speak, but the First Emperor buried his head in writing something.

The First Emperor wrote and wrote, and it was not until half an hour later that he stopped his pen with satisfaction and looked up at the two of them.

The First Emperor opened his mouth and said directly: "I plan to expand the Running Wolf Light Cavalry, you can tell me your opinion." ”

Meng Tian straightened his waist and said: "Today, the Huns have the image of returning, and the wolf light cavalry is the main force of the other Huns, and the minister agrees to expand the wolf light cavalry!" ”

The First Emperor turned his head to look at Xiao He and asked Xiao He to also share his opinion.

Xiao He faced the First Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the treasury can only take out a maximum of 10,000 gold to expand the Wolf Running Light Cavalry. ”

"Ten thousand gold!" Meng Tian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, 10,000 gold is too little, at least 100,000." ”

The First Emperor looked at Xiao He, frowned and said, "Why did you come up with such a little money?" ”

Xiao He got up and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the Police Department needs money, the Daqin Hall needed for next year's scientific expedition needs money, and the water conservancy repair in the Jiangnan region needs money." Your Majesty, now that money is being used everywhere, this 10,000 gold is the best effort of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to come up. ”

The First Emperor frowned and said, "Can't you pick a few pieces and put them away for the time being in advance?" ”

"Your Majesty, among the various things in Great Qin now, there is nothing that can be put aside, otherwise it will have an extremely adverse impact on the future development of our Great Qin." Xiao He said firmly.

The First Emperor looked at Meng Tian helplessly and asked, "How many wolf light horses can be expanded with 10,000 gold?" ”

After Meng Tian calculated for a moment, he arched his hand and said, "Back to Your Majesty, 10,000 gold can expand up to 500 wolf light horses." ”

"It's only five hundred! Captain, you're not kidding, are you? Xiao He asked.

Meng Tian got up and said, "All the weapons, war horses, and armor of the Running Wolf Light Cavalry are all different. In the past, a lot of money could be saved by awarding military merits, but now this cost cannot be reduced. ”

Xiao He was also speechless for a moment, because there was nothing wrong with what Meng Tian said. The armor and weapons of the Running Wolf Light Rider are specially designed and transformed, which is not only light but also tough, and the cost will naturally go up.

And the most expensive thing is the war horse and people, the war horse needs a good war horse, otherwise how to be faster than the Hun cavalry. Soldiers must have superb riding and archery skills, otherwise it is difficult to complete the task of running wolf light cavalry.

The First Emperor frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked, "Xiao He?" When will the Ministry of Civil Affairs come up with the money and let me pacify the Huns! ”

Xiao He stretched out his hand and calculated, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, on the premise of not shaking the foundation of the Great Qin State, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is confident that within three years, I will come up with enough money to let my Great Qin Iron Cavalry wipe out the Huns!" ”

"Three years..." The First Emperor got up and said, "Let's take out 10,000 gold and hand it to Meng Tian first, I want to see these five hundred wolf light horses in Xianyang." ”

"No!"

Meng Tian and Xiao He received orders at the same time.

"Humph!"

The First Emperor waved his sleeves very dissatisfied, and then walked away with a calm face.

After the First Emperor left, Xiao He and Meng Tian breathed a big sigh of relief, just now the First Emperor was already angry, but fortunately, they didn't embarrass the two.

After leaving the main hall, Xiao He said: "Lord Taiwei, this 10,000 gold is the last family fund of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Lord Taiwei must use it well." ”

Meng Tian frowned and said: "Now that my business is prosperous in Daqin, coupled with the smooth wind and rain of Guotai and Min'an, the tax situation of the Ministry of Civil Affairs should be very good, why is there not much money?" ”

Xiao He sighed: "Lord Taiwei doesn't know, the current Ministry of Civil Affairs has just collected taxes, and they are about to be sent out before they can be warmed up." Even, if it weren't for the fact that His Majesty had recovered a large amount of minerals for the Ministry of Civil Affairs to make some money, the Ministry of Civil Affairs would not have even been able to take out this 10,000 gold at this time. ”

"There has been no war in Daqin recently, why do you not know how to save money, Lord Xiao has to reflect on it." Meng Tian said angrily.

Xiao He smiled bitterly: "Lord Taiwei doesn't know, but you can know that the Qin Xi Chamber of Commerce of the Qin Xi Gongzi is now making money, and it has become the most profitable chamber of commerce in the world in more than a year." ”

"Why?" Meng Tian asked.

"Because Qin Xigongzi was willing to contribute money in the early stage of the business, he has now made such a big profit." Xiao He said.

"The Ministry of Civil Affairs is not a place to do business." Meng Tian frowned and said.

Xiao He said with a smile: "The Ministry of Civil Affairs does not do business, and the lower officials dare not guarantee that after three years, His Majesty will have enough money to pacify the Huns." ”
