Chapter 112: Materials are also a type of money
The First Emperor listened to Fu Zikang's words, and there was a little disappointment in his eyes.
It is not that the First Emperor has not heard false words.
The national lieutenant Wei Yu, as soon as they met, he said that he would formulate a strategy for him to pacify the six countries.
The vertical and horizontal Hou is weak, and his words can make the six kingdoms fall apart.
Li Xin, Marquis of Longxi, set up a military order, and could return 200,000 Qin troops to break Chu Nai.
At first glance, these words were all false, and the First Emperor felt that it was ridiculous.
But the First Emperor was willing to listen to their specific process and analyze the possibilities.
Wei Yu is presented in the military book "Wei Yuzi", explaining the reasons in simple terms.
Emperor Shi felt that it was feasible to appoint Wei Yu, who had been unsuccessful in Wei for a long time, as a national lieutenant and held the supreme military power of Qin.
Analyze the situation in the world weakly, and analyze the royal families and folk customs of various countries. Even taking the first emperor as an example, he said, "Even if I say that the king is not filial, the king will not kill me at the first time, which does not prove that the weak can perceive people's hearts?" ”
When the first emperor heard what you said, it seemed to make sense, so Xu Wanjin, worshiped as the secretary, and sent Dun weak to the six countries, completely ignoring the possibility of running away with money.
Li Xin brought a map of the Great Opinion and explained to the First Emperor how to attack Chu, where to attack, how to divide the soldiers and horses, what kind of response the Chu State might make, and how he could crack it.
After a night, the First Emperor pondered, and it seemed that there was no big problem. So he boldly appointed the young general Li Xin as the general and gave him 200,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Chu State.
The first two of the three succeeded, and the latter failed.
But the one that failed was actually almost successful - if Chang Wenjun hadn't rebelled.
The First Emperor was actually very willing to listen to these false words, provided that these false words could be realized.
If Fu Zikang said that Chang'anjun would be able to gather the money needed for Chidao within a year, the First Emperor would pay attention to it and ask for details.
But what Fu Zikang said was that the money that Chang'an Jun had sent to the Zhisu Neishi Mansion was enough to build the Chi Road.
What Fu Zikang said was in the heart of the First Emperor.
It is equivalent to Wei Yu saying that I will be able to defeat the Six Kingdoms tomorrow, and suddenly said that the day after tomorrow I will persuade the monarchs of the Six Kingdoms to surrender to the Qin State, and Li Xin said that the king will give me twenty soldiers and I will be able to defeat the Chu State.
It's ridiculous.
Nonsense.
Not at all.
The First Emperor didn't bother to ask.
Wang Juan has dealt with internal affairs for many years, and Wang Juan is the main person in charge of large-scale construction projects such as the Imperial Palace, the Great Wall, and the Imperial Mausoleum.
As soon as Fu Zikang's voice fell, the others had not reacted, and when the First Emperor was reluctant to speak, Wang Juan was already angry.
"Ridiculous!"
Seeing Wang Juan angry, Fu Zikang was a little afraid.
His body shook a little, and he took a half-step back.
I'm just going to say something about it......
"Nine galloping roads, leading to the east, west, north and south of Daqin. Such a huge project, comparable to Yu water control Kyushu, to gather the strength of the world's people, the world's wealth can be expected to be completed. If the money sent by Chang'an Jun is enough to build nine galloping roads, unless the money can reach the wealth of the world, it is enough for my ten years of military salary in Great Qin! ”
When the First Emperor saw Fu Zikang's performance of taking half a step back, he was completely disappointed in Fu Zikang.
The First Emperor has always acted magnificently, and his heart is even more powerful, and he is never afraid.
In the opinion of the First Emperor, people must not be without courage, and cowardly people cannot do anything great.
The words are vain, and the heart has no courage.
I remembered that when Cheng Chan recommended this person, he said that it was okay to treat this person as a child of the Mo family. It is only suitable for doing things, not for discussing politics, this is the extreme.
The First Emperor thought that he was going to let Fu Zikang go back first, and then let Li Si talk about the matter of searching the world's copper and iron to cast twelve gold people.
Fu Zikang, who was cowering and cowering, muttered in a low voice: "More than ten years, based on the calculation of Daqin's military salary last year, it should take Daqin's military salary for eleven years and three months before he can repair the Nine Chi Road."
"Oh, you really dare to say it." The First Emperor was amused.
Emperor Shi didn't expect that Fu Zikang not only dared to admit that the money moved by Ying Chengyun was the military salary of the Qin State for ten years, but also dared to say that it was more than ten years.
In particular, this military salary is settled last year, not this year, which is simply out of the ordinary.
At the beginning of last year, Daqin's 600,000 troops were under the command of Wang Jian and attacked Chu abroad. In the middle of the year, the state of Chu was shattered for Wang Qian. The Qin State provided 600,000 people with horses and horses for half a year, and the cost of military salaries was astronomical.
This is not over, less than three months after the triumph of the Chu army, the first emperor worshiped Wang Ben as a general, and Meng Tian as a general to expedition to Qi, with a total of 400,000 soldiers and horses.
Although the Qi State finally surrendered, it was also Meng Tian fighting against the main force of the Qi army, Wang Ben led 50,000 Qin troops to attack Linzi, and the soldiers were under the city of Linzi.
Moreover, Qi is in the extreme east, bordering the East China Sea, and is the farthest country from Qin among the six countries.
Last year was the year in which the First Emperor spent the most money on military salaries in the past ten years of his reign.
"Ridiculous! Absurd! The old man had never heard such arrogant words! You treat us and others as illiterate little evils! Wang Wan slapped the table angrily and shouted.
Fu Zikang hurriedly took two steps back, shook his head and said, "Don't dare, don't dare."
Meng Yi thought that Fu Zikang didn't know how much Great Qin's military salary was last year, so he was talking nonsense here, so he said in an unkind tone: "Do you know how much Great Qin's military salary last year was?"
As soon as he heard this, Fu Zikang's eyes immediately lit up, and he immediately said: "As of the end of the New Year, a total of 1,189,237,346 yuan has been spent."
Fu Zikang's voice was much louder than before, and he said it very smoothly, and he didn't know how to memorize this irregular string of numbers.
Gai Nie is now extremely sensitive to accuracy, and when he heard this, he turned his head slightly and glanced at Zhao Gao: Look at Zikang, it can be accurate to a single digit.
Zhao Gao: What does this plague god think of me? His eyes seemed to have contempt, what did Gao do?
Meng Yi didn't think that Fu Zikang would be able to answer, he was going to say next, "You don't even know this, you dare to say that it can be worth ten years of military pay last year."
Fu Zikang's answer made him go home halfway through his words, and the scholar of the Meng family said with some embarrassment: "Ah, it turns out that last year's military salary was as much as promised......
Wang Juan continued Meng Yi's words and said angrily: "Since you know the amount of military salaries last year, why do you dare to speak in front of Your Majesty!"
Fu Zikang didn't know why Wang Juan, the right minister, had always treated him badly.
But he remembered Ying Chengcheng's warning to him - if you want to sit firmly in the position of Jiuqing, you just need to take care of the accounts. Don't worry about anything else, don't argue with others.
"Ministers don't dare to speak ......"
Whispered something again.
Fu Zikang made a non-standard apology to Wang Juan, and then returned to the seat and sat down.
I've said so much, I should be considered involved. The position of governing the internal history of Su should be kept, and he can still get 2,000 stone grain a year.
Seeing this, Wang Juan had something to say.
was signaled by the first emperor with his eyes and kept his mouth shut.
Li Si didn't turn his head to look at Fu Zikang at all.
If he is still a court lieutenant today, and Fu Zikang is one of the nine Qings, he will also do a face-saving project, and make a good relationship with Fu Zikang.
But Li Si is now the prime minister of Zuo, and Tingwei will care about the internal history of Su, but the prime minister of Zuo will not.
Such people who are full of lies and hard-mouthed, Prime Minister Zuo doesn't want to deal with them.
Li Si saw that the First Emperor's gaze returned to him, gave him a look, and asked him to continue speaking.
I listened to Gai Nie, who had been with a cold face and had no good face for anyone.
"Your Majesty, Zikang never speaks falsely."
"Huh?" The First Emperor looked back.
Gai Nie and the First Emperor looked at each other and said, "Nie and Zikang have known each other for several years, and I have never heard a word of nonsense from Zikang."
Fu Zikang's words, the first emperor did not believe it.
But Gai Nie's words, the first emperor believed.
Last night, if it weren't for Gai Nie's own initiative and woke up the First Emperor in advance, the First Emperor would have slept until three o'clock in the morning before waking up.
Although the first emperor felt that there was nothing wrong with sleeping until the sun was three poles. But Gai Nie's actions still doubled the trust in the First Emperor's heart.
In terms of his own security, the First Emperor believed.
Compared with Zhao Gao, who is obedient, Gai Nie, who is full of personality, is better.
"Mr. Gai said this, he is saying that Chang'an Jun sent 12 billion yuan to the Zhisu Neishi Mansion, and Mr. Gai knows how much is 12 billion yuan? It is difficult for the entire Zhisu Inner History Mansion to put down a lot of money! Wang Juan said sternly.
Be lazy, you don't even remember the string of numbers Zikang just said.
"Nie doesn't know how much money can be loaded in the Zhisu Neishi Mansion, Nie only knows that Zikang doesn't talk nonsense."
Fu Zikang nodded gratefully at Gai Nie, although he felt that there was no need to say this.
Childe warned me that if I want to sit firmly on the history of Su, I should not quarrel with others......
The First Emperor acted decisively, and immediately stopped Wang Juan, who was about to continue talking, and said with a smile: "Noisy, what is there to quarrel about?" Is the money really fake, so it's inconvenient for you to go to the Zhisu Neishi Mansion with me to see? Come! Swing to govern the Su Nei Shi Mansion! ”
The First Emperor believed in Gai Nie, but not Fu Zikang, and he decided to lead the four of them to the Zhisu Neishi Mansion to find out.
Zhisu Inner History House.
Zhisu Neishi Zuocheng, and Zhisu Neishi Youcheng have been calling the shots.
"Can this money be credited to the account? Move into the warehouse as soon as you enter the account! ”
"Don't do too much, don't worry about your own life, and implicate the three clans in a family!"
"Why are you so slow in keeping accounts? It turned out to be a newcomer, so I said how to face it. You haven't learned the counting method taught by Master Zhisu Neishi, so go and move the money first, don't waste time! ”
"Idiot! A thousand dollars is worth a gold! Don't count the money! Convert to gold! Otherwise, how much will you keep in this account? ”
The officials of the Zhisu Inner History Mansion are like industrious bees, constantly in a state of busyness.
"The weighing of 100 gold has been completed, the bookkeeping has been completed, and the warehousing has been completed."
"It's 100,000 dollars, one dollar is not more, one dollar is not less, take it."
"Brother Zhang will take twenty more bamboo slips for me, no, fifty!"
"Running out of a hundred bamboo slips? Did Chang'anjun move His Majesty's inner library over? ”
"Do things quickly, do things quickly, Lord Zuo Cheng and Lord Right Cheng are watching."
All the rooms of the Zhisu Inner History Mansion, which covers an extremely wide area, have been used, and the officials of the Zhisu Inner History Mansion, who were relatively idle in the past, are now not idlers.
Officials from each house walked back and forth, each holding bamboo slips, sacks and other things in their hands. Listen to the jingle bells in those sacks, and you will know that there is a lot of money there.
All the officials had a look of bewilderment on their faces, even though they were the officials who had seen the most money in the Great Qin Empire, they had never seen so much money.
Today, if their official uniforms are not washed, they can smell the stench of Qin Qian copper on them from a distance of three meters.
When the first emperor brought Gai Nie, Zhao Gao, Li Si, Wang Juan, Meng Yi, and Fu Zikang to the Zhisu Neishi Mansion, he saw such a scene.
Everyone lowered their heads and did their own things, some were weighing, some were writing accounts, and some were moving things, which was very lively.
Zhisu Neishi Zuocheng, who has been commanding on the steps, Zhisu Neishi Youcheng is condescending and is the first to see the first emperor.
The two of them trotted and ran to the First Emperor, and were about to bow and greet him, but they didn't speak.
"Do things and do things, don't care about me."
"Yui."
The two of them were really polite, and they agreed, without even saying goodbye.
Whoever ran back as he ran, continued to command at the top of his throat.
The two of them were stunned by this style and this first emperor.
These two really ignored me, so they ran back?
The First Emperor turned his head to look at Fu Zikang, nodded his head, and praised it.
"The history of Su Nei is good."
The way a group behaves is inextricably linked to its leader.
For example, in the Qin State under the leadership of the First Emperor, everyone was like a tiger and a wolf, and the literati could also carry a sword into battle, full of blood.
Fu Zikang hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
If Li Si would definitely add a sentence "This is Your Majesty's Shengming, and your subordinates can work hard", and put the credit on the head of the first emperor.
But Fu Zikang didn't have this idea, and after thanking him, he had nothing to say.
But the First Emperor didn't care, but showed a smile and patted Fu Zikang on the shoulder.
As long as there are capable courtiers, no matter what kind of character, the first emperor likes them.
Here, the two monarchs and ministers are in harmony.
Over there, Wang Juan, an expert in internal affairs, has already gone over to check the number.
Wang Juan took a turn in the Zhisu Neishi Mansion, and asked the Zhisu Neishi Zuo Cheng and Youcheng about the approximate number, and he had the bottom in his heart.
He walked up to the First Emperor, who was also walking around, and said softly: "This is the old man's shallow eyes, and the amount of money in the Zhisu Inner History Mansion is large, and he has only seen it in his life. Chang'an Jun's ability to collect money is much greater than that of Lu Buwei. Although this place is less than the military salary of Daqin for ten years, it is also more than five years. ”
The First Emperor looked at Fu Zikang and laughed.
"Fu Zikang, you said that there is a ten-year military salary of Great Qin last year. It's only been five years, what are you going to do? ”
said so, but the First Emperor did not mean to blame Fu Zikang at all.
Half of the problem of the nine galloping roads was solved at once, and it was too late for the First Emperor to be happy, and the meaning of this questioning and ridicule was even stronger.
Fu Zikang shrank.
"Your Majesty, the minister has never said that there are ten years of military salary and money in the Zhisu Inner History Mansion......"
First Emperor: ???
Reese:???
Wang Juan: ???
Meng Yi: ???
Zhao Gao: ???
The five of them were all stunned.
What you just said in the council hall, this is not a confession? You also said that it was the ten years of military pay last year, and this can still be faked?
There is no 10-year military salary, and only 5 years is a great achievement, why do you say that?
Such a denial is definitely a crime of deception!
Gai Nie didn't have any doubts, he looked at the five people who were confused, and said, "Zikang never lies."
The First Emperor, Wang Juan, Meng Yi, Zhao Gao, and Li Siqi were speechless.
Gang up to bully the king, right?
Fu Zikang's eyes flickered and looked at Wang Juan, Meng Yi, Li Si, Zhao Gao, and he even looked at Gai Nie!
"The minister said that the Chang'an monarch just sent the money for the history of Su Nei, which is enough to build a gallop ......."
Fu Zikang secretly said in his heart: Materials are also a kind of money.
