Chapter 288: Convincing Ying Zheng

As soon as these words came out, Ying Zheng's face suddenly became gloomy.

He didn't expect that Ran Fang would suddenly mention the matter of conscription, let alone that Ran Fang would say that he would cancel conscription.

For him, this is simply intolerable!

But looking at Ran Fang's such a serious and serious expression, he wanted to hear what Ran Fang could say for a while.

"Why?"

Ying Zheng's expression, Ran Fang could see it clearly.

After feeling that Ying Zheng suppressed his anger for the time being, and could still talk to himself with good words, he admired Ying Zheng a little more in his heart.

He explained with a smile: "I know what conscription means to Great Qin, if you continue to use conscription for free like this, something will happen after all." ”

"Moreover, even if the conscription is canceled, Your Majesty should not worry that Great Qin will reach a state where no one is available."

"Now that the merchants have begun to pay taxes, the treasury of Great Qin is not as empty as before, so it is better to replace free conscription with a mercenary system."

"Whether it is digging rivers and canals, building bridges and roads, or building imperial tombs, as long as the money is used to hire the people to do things, I want to arouse their interest more than cotton servants."

"Isn't it not good that this will not only make the people do things willingly, but also make them sincerely do things for His Majesty, and not always think about life at home and improve the happiness of the people?"

"Before, because of the matter of conscription, I think Your Majesty has also heard the complaints of those people, how can the people believe in such a miserable life?"

Listening to his words, Ying Zheng did fall into deep thought.

As Ran Fang said, although he hadn't heard the complaints of the people in Xianyang City about him, how could he not know about it?

It's just that he has never cared about those, in Ying Zheng's heart, everything he does is for the good of Daqin, as long as he can do good things for Daqin, even if he is burdened with those infamy?

But now that he heard Ran Fang's opinion, he was also a little moved, after all, who doesn't want to be a good emperor praised by everyone?

"The widow knows what you think in your heart, and also understands that what you say is for Daqin's thoughts."

"But if the conscription is abolished, how can those leaders obey the will of the widow?"

"And the Great Qin soldiers, what about it?"

"Now there are Xiongnu in the north and Baiyue in the south, what should I do?"

Hearing this, Ran Fang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he was also worried that Ying Zheng would directly disagree with this matter.

But now that he heard him say this, Ran Fang understood that what Ying Zheng was thinking about was always the world of Great Qin, and as long as it could be beneficial to Great Qin, he was always willing to do it.

What I am worried about now is only the impact that the abolition of conscription may have on Great Qin.

"Conscription is naturally wanted, but you can't join the army for free."

"You must know that those men in the prime of life are not only the mainstay in the army, but they are also the main labor force in the family, and how can they not have resentment in their hearts if they are sent to serve in forced labor, leaving the old, weak, sick and disabled to survive?"

"Since this is the case, then this person who joins the army should naturally have money to get, not only that, but also implement the military service system in Daqin, that is, adult men or women must join the army when they reach a certain age."

"A few years in the army will allow them to go home, and there will be new young people to continue to replenish them, so that the army will never be short of people."

"And those who came out of the Great Qin army can also go back to their hometown to work, if they really encounter a war, then these people who were once in the army can be directly replenished."

"In this way, there is no need to worry that they have not been tested by the army and lose their lives on the battlefield in vain."

Ying Zheng listened to Ran Fang's analysis, and was also thinking about the possibility of this matter in his mind.

The significance of this army to Great Qin is not trivial, but it is indeed a problem to serve in conscription now.

"If it is true as Qing said, it can indeed solve Daqin's current problems."

"But this matter is very important, and the widow needs to think again."

Although Ying Zheng did not directly agree, from his eyes, Ran Fang could see that he was actually a little moved.

In this way, he was relieved, and he didn't think that Yingzheng would be able to agree to this matter today.

This is definitely an unprecedented event for Daqin, even more serious than the imperial examination system, and Yingzheng must have made a decision after consulting with the ministers of the court.

"Whoa."

"These foods are all newly studied by the minister's kitchen, Your Majesty tastes it carefully, if you like it, the minister asks the cook to write down the recipe and give it to Wei Liang."

"When Your Majesty wants to eat it, just let the imperial chef cook it."

did not continue to talk about the conscription, and Yingzheng ate comfortably.

It's just that when he was leaving, he wanted to ask Ran Fang something more, and finally swallowed the words.

……

The next day, the sky was just slightly bright, and Ran Yi was already dressed and walked out of his room.

This surprised the guards in the courtyard for a while, after all, they all knew that Ran Fang was the least likely person in the house to get up early, and they would only do radio gymnastics every day when Ran Fang got up.

I was really surprised to see Ran Fang so early today.

The guards in the courtyard stepped forward with great insight and asked respectfully, "My lord, what is the matter?" ”

"Go and ask Gongzi Su to come over, just say that I have something important to discuss, let him come over immediately."

"Whoa."

With that, the guard hurried away.

Liu Bang, who heard the movement, walked to Ran Fang's side, bowed and saluted: "My lord got up so early, is it for the sake of serving the conscription that he told His Majesty yesterday?" ”

"Will Prince Fusu agree?"

When Yingzheng came yesterday, although Liu Bang was not waiting by his side, he was also waiting outside the door, thinking that if Ran Fang had something, he could deal with it in time and prevent someone from eavesdropping outside the door.

But he heard it very well at the door, especially when Ran Fang said that he wanted to cancel the forced service, he sweated for Ran Fang, for fear that Ying Zheng would treat him for disrespect.

As a result, I didn't expect that Ying Zheng was not angry, and said that he would go back and think about it, so today Ying Zheng would definitely invite the important ministers of the DPRK and China to discuss this matter.

But those people will definitely not agree, so it will take a weighty person to negotiate with those ministers.

Ran Fang didn't care about Liu Bang's crime of eavesdropping, and said directly: "Fusu will agree." ”

"Those ministers think about their own interests, but Fusu is really thinking about Daqin and those people."

"Although he is sometimes stubborn in his work, he does deserve to be called a benevolent monarch."

Liu Bang nodded, and seemed to agree with Ran Fang's words.

But he still couldn't help but speak: "Yesterday, the subordinates heard some of what the Lord said to His Majesty, although they felt that the Lord was reasonable. ”

"But do you really think Your Majesty will agree to this?"
