In short, Fusu still left, Zhao Ying originally wanted to let Mi Ji go with him, but he didn't expect that this time he was sternly rejected by Fusu, saying that he was a place to study, and what to say with a female dependent.

Although Mi Ji muttered, the gentleman Yin also brought his daughter.

But Fusu looked at the sky with his eyes and pretended not to hear.

In front of her children, Mi Ji couldn't say anything, so she could only watch Fusu board the carriage with a resentful face, and she rushed to Afang School Palace as if she was running away.

I finally arranged a place for my father.

Zhao Ying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But he didn't relax for long, because the court was already arguing about another matter.

Because, the army dress change that he has been brewing for a long time has officially kicked off.

In fact, from the day Qin Hengdao appeared, the overall redress of the Great Qin army has become an inevitability, in his opinion, compared with the bronze long sword, Qin Hengdao and other weapons, made of refined steel obviously have a higher cost performance.

But unexpectedly, as soon as his idea appeared, it aroused fierce rebuttal among the ministers of the DPRK and China.

There is almost a clear distinction between those who support and those who oppose them.

Zhangtai Palace.

Shi Teng in Zhisu sat upright, looking at Zhao Ying, the imperial grandson who was sitting at the top, with a serious face.

"Your Highness, although our Great Qin's finances are a little more generous now, but my Great Qin has not been founded for a long time, and everything is waiting to be rebuilt, it is the time to use the money, we are working together to resume production and accumulate national strength, how can we carry out a large-scale redress at this time......

As a ruler of the Su Nei Shi, Nei Shi Teng was extremely sensitive to the expenses of the imperial court. Therefore, after he heard that Zhao Ying was going to gradually change the weapons and equipment of the garrisons in various places, he jumped out without hesitation.

These days, he led a group of people to quarrel with a group of generals in the DPRK and China countless times, and also found Zhao Ying countless times, putting on a posture of not achieving his goal and vowing not to give up.

"Your Highness, it's not that the ministers refuse to support His Highness's decision, but that things have priorities, and now in the land south of the Yangtze River, His Highness Yu Ze is still there, and the county guards are carrying out large-scale polder reclamation and building embankments. This is a major event that benefits the present and the future, even after thousands of years, future generations should also remember the kindness of His Royal Highness. ”

"This is good governance and cannot be stopped, but even if there are wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River to help, the burden on the court is still very heavy, and the money and grain allocated every month is not a small amount......

"General Meng Yi has just proposed to build a gallop road in Lingnan, Lingnan terrain is complex, many lofty mountains and mountains, Your Highness should know the difficulty of this, and also know how much food will cost once you start to build it - but, Your Highness, you have told your ministers that if you want to completely control Lingnan in our hands, it is imperative to build a gallop road, and Weichen thinks that this is Lao Cheng's words to hold the country, even if it is difficult for the imperial court, it is worth it......"

Zhao Ying couldn't help but nod slightly.

The proposal to build a gallop road in Lingnan and completely open up the traffic pass between Lingnan and Guanzhong was put forward by Meng Yi.

Originally, he didn't have any thoughts, until the news that Liu Bang used gunpowder to build a galloping road connecting the countries of the Western Regions in the Western Regions with amazing efficiency reached Lingnan, and he couldn't help but feel excited, and he couldn't help it anymore.

Liu Ji can cultivate, I can't cultivate Meng Yi!

Repair!

Although this proposal met with some resistance in the imperial court, it was finally successfully passed with the strong support of Zhao Ying. Because, he understands better than anyone else the importance of the transportation network to the imperial court.

Without a well-developed and convenient transportation network, Lingnan is still an enclave, even if it is nominally owned by the imperial court.

In fact, a large part of the reason why the Lingnan tribes dared to confront the imperial court and regarded rebellion as common as eating and drinking was that the transportation was underdeveloped, and the imperial court had no way to effectively control Lingnan.

Therefore, there can only be appeasement.

It was not until the Manchu Dynasty that the policy of changing the land and diverting the land and dispatching the officials was introduced, and the situation changed slightly.

Obviously, the ministers of the imperial court are also far-sighted and very clear about this truth, so Meng Yi's proposal, although there is a lot of resistance, still passed smoothly.

Just as they did at the beginning, they supported the imperial court to build the Ling Canal and open up the north-south freight channel.

But the suggestion put forward by Meng Yi is really expensive.

Even with the help of gunpowder, it is a major project that cannot be ignored. Coupled with Liu Bang's actions in the Western Regions, the imperial court suddenly returned to a tight life.

This is not counting the three counties of Mobei, which are also waiting to be fed, and urgently need the support of the imperial court.

Ziying, Zhao Tuo, Li Xin, etc., urged the imperial court to allocate money and grain, one after another, although the grassland is not suitable for farming, but if you want to really control this land, you cannot do without a transportation network that is enough to control this land, and enough, enough to have a certain radiation capacity of settlement.

All of this requires a lot of money and food support.

If so, counting the relief of disasters in various places, the allocation of money and grain, the expenditure of military salaries, the distribution of officials, etc., a series of expenditures, Shi Teng was tired every day, and he was eager to break a copper coin in half and spend it.

"Your Highness, there are too many places to use money, and the court is really out of money, or you can just kill me......"

After Nei Shi Ten finished speaking, he twisted his neck and stared at Zhao Ying without giving an inch. In the past few days, because of the large-scale change of clothes in the army, he has been so worried that he has not slept well for several days, and even the corners of his mouth have been foaming.

Looking at Nei Shi Teng, who was tired and even had a little more silver thread on his sideburns, Zhao Ying couldn't get up at all angry thoughts, there was no way, where could he find such a minister who was wholeheartedly in charge of the imperial court?

Get up in person, walk up to Nesteen, and fill Nesteng with a cup of hot tea.

"The internal history is heavy, why ...... it"

Zhao Ying smiled.

"What you are worried about, I have considered it, although it is a little difficult, but the replacement of equipment can also save a large amount of copper ore for the imperial court......"

Nesteng didn't speak, just looked straight at him, with an expression of whether you look at me stupidly.

Zhao Ying: ......

He couldn't talk anymore for a while.

Although the use of iron weapons to replace bronze weapons is the general trend, and the benefits are visible to the naked eye, it is really not of much use to the surplus copper ore.

Because, even if they are replaced, those finished bronze weapons cannot be directly melted into copper coins.

When creating these weapons, in order to ensure the durability and toughness and sharpness of these bronze weapons, the craftsmen of Daqin creatively added some other trace metals, and the craftsmanship was so exquisite that even the craftsmanship of later generations should not be amazed. Some of the unearthed bronze swords, although thousands of years have passed, are still as bright as new.

If you want to recycle the copper in it, you can imagine the difficulty factor.

The only benefit, probably in the future, is that you don't have to use bronze to forge weapons.

Seeing that Zhao Ying was dumbfounded, Nei Shi Teng slowed down his tone, gave a deep salute, and said in a sincere tone.

"His Royal Highness wants to make a contribution and show his talents, the old minister understands, and is willing to help, but the replacement of equipment should be slow rather than urgent, and it is better to slowly ...... it."

Speaking of this, Nesteng set his eyes on Zhang Liang, who was standing with his hands hanging on the side.

As a result, Zhang Liang looked at his nose and his nose as if he hadn't seen it, he could only sigh, withdraw his gaze, and continue.

"What's more, my Great Qin is now in charge of the four yi, now, the north is as far as Mobei, the east is as far as the sea, the south is as far as the land of Xiangjun Guilin, to the west, it goes directly to the foot of Alai Mountain, looking around the four fields, there is no danger of swords, no matter how sharp and tenacious the Qin horizontal knife is, there is no place for it, His Royal Highness is in a hurry to replace, where is the meaning of spending a lot of money and food......"

In the end, it's still a matter of money and food!

No money!

Zhao Ying opened his mouth and failed to answer.

Because, in this era, agriculture is still an unshakable day, and those practices in later generations who increase jobs and increase people's income by opening workshops, building large-scale construction, and carrying out infrastructure construction will not work at all.

There are not enough people to farm, where are the people who will work?

Therefore, the scholars and doctors of the previous dynasties were extremely sensitive to the construction of large buildings, and they had to repeatedly state the truth of lightly relieving light labor and resting with the people, and the dynasties of the past dynasties, even those kings who were mixed up, also knew to vigorously encourage the peasants, and put the position of the merchant at the end of the four peasants, and never wavered.

The purpose is to leave people on the land, grow food with peace of mind, and ensure the most basic means of survival.

Zhao Ying thought about it and decided to think differently.

"Neishi thinks that Donghai Jun went to sea this time, did he make a profit or lose ......?"

Nei Shi Teng didn't understand what Zhao Ying meant, but he still nodded matter-of-factly.

"Naturally, it was earned, if it weren't for the goods sent back from overseas by Donghaijun, I'm afraid it would have been difficult for Weichen to continue......

Ever since the first silver arrived in Xianyang, almost every once in a while, ships would come from the sea, bringing in a shipment of silver, as well as a large number of other goods not commonly found in Guanzhong.

This made all the ministers of the DPRK and China excited.

At the beginning, because Gongzi Gao led the army to the sea, the criticism brought by the first emperor seeking the elixir belt was swept away.

Now, from top to bottom, it's all about it, and it's all one-sided approval.

Zhao Ying said with a smile.

"The shortage of money, the solution is nothing more than to open up sources and reduce expenditure. Nei Shi should know that in fact, it is not much to save money, and how much money can be saved by tightening the belt, and if you really want to completely solve the problem of financial shortage, the best way is to open source - outside of Great Qin, it is not all barren land......"

When Nei Shi Teng heard this, he couldn't help but look at him.

"Your Highness, although the country is big, the warlike will perish......"

Zhao Ying couldn't help laughing.

"What kind of war, are we going to fight with others? We were ordered by His Majesty to preach edification and give kindness. Without us, those barbarian lands don't know how long they have to be ignorant to know the truth of this world......"

In this era, Great Qin is the only one in this world, not to mention that the West also has a civilization that is enough to match Great Qin.

Not to mention those civilizations of theirs, are they really true, and even if they are, they are not very smart?

Think about it.

At that time, the Xiongnu and Yueshi, who were driven like rabbits by the Qin and Han dynasties and had to flee in embarrassment, fled to the west, and were able to rely on the remnants of the defeated army and the exhausted army to beat the wolves in the west and establish their own huge empire.

Even the small branches of the Yue tribe went to the west and were able to develop and establish the Kushan Empire.

We can know what kind of rank Daqin was in that era.

Nesten is still struggling there.

After all, it is said that good belligerence will die, how can I still listen to warlike to make a fortune......

Just when Nei Shi Teng was struggling in his heart, pondering the truth that the imperial grandson told him today, outside the palace gate, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves.

"Good news, Zhenyuan General Liu Ji, lightly took Dawan, opened up thousands of miles of territory, obtained hundreds of cars of gold and silver goods, tens of thousands of Dawan horses, and ten ...... of sweat and blood."

Listening to the sound of good news outside the palace gate, with a little hoarseness, it came faintly.

Zhao Ying couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

This Liu Ji!

I knew that this thing must be restless, but I didn't expect him to bring such a big surprise to himself.

Seeing that the corners of Zhao Ying's mouth suddenly turned up, a smile that could not be concealed appeared on his face, and he almost thought that the imperial grandson was laughing at his short-sightedness and didn't know how to be flexible, and his old face suddenly turned red.

Then, he saw Zhao Ying waving his hand at him with a smile on his face.

"Didn't Neishi just worry about the shortage of the treasury and the shortage of money and food? Now, the man who sent us the money has arrived—"

When Nesten heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and was about to ask.

At this time, I had already faintly heard the sound of good news outside.

“…… Good news, Zhenyuan general Liu Ji, lightly took Dawan, opened up thousands of miles of territory, obtained hundreds of cars of gold and silver goods, tens of thousands of Dawan horses, and ten ...... of sweat and blood"

couldn't help but get up.

There was a look of shock in his eyes.

"General Liu Ji actually defeated the Great Wan Kingdom!"

Looking at the shocked Nei Shi Teng, the smile on Zhao Ying's face couldn't help but become brighter and brighter, and he couldn't imagine that the idle chess he played at the beginning would bring such a big surprise to himself.

Sure enough, it was gold that shone wherever it was placed.

It is worthy of the Han Gaozu who can create the foundation of the Han Dynasty for more than 200 years.

At this time, even the First Emperor, who had been staying in the side hall to watch the excitement, had already heard the sound of good news coming from outside the main hall, and couldn't help but glance at each other with Hei, and then got up and walked to the side in front of the map of the country and mountains specially created for him.

Yes, in order to let the First Emperor have a good mood every day, Zhao Ying, who knew the First Emperor's mind very well, personally found the girl Wei Weiyang and asked her to take the people from the Jiangshan Society Division to create a picture of the Jiangshan Society for the First Emperor.

At this time, this map is very different from the previous days.

Yingzhou, Fusang has been impressively listed, marked with a distinct Great Qin Xuanniao flag, to the west, but also includes almost the entire Western Regions, some time ago, but also to the "country" standard of the place, now all replaced with a pleasing "county".

"Is it here?"

The First Emperor picked up a Xuanniao flag, crossed a mountain range with his fingers, and forcefully inserted it in the position that originally marked the Great Wan Kingdom, at this moment, his eyes were bright and a little scary. (End of chapter)
