Chapter 387: The Sword Goes Sideways! (Ask for subscription)
Zhang Liang sat on the ground.
After reading through it, he already had a general idea in his heart, but he still didn't dare to be careless, and looked at these bamboo slips again, until he read them several times, and even almost memorized them, he put them down.
Zhang Liang frowned and said: "Judging from these bamboo slips, Qin Ting obviously attaches more importance to Northern Xinjiang and has done more tests, but this is only the appearance after all, and Qin Ting's focus has always been Kanto." ”
"It's just that this time it's more hidden."
"I didn't say anything."
"From the beginning to the end, it was just a simple herald."
"What is announced to the outside world is that a large transit warehouse will be built in Kanto, but is this warehouse really that simple?"
"Open source and reduce expenditure."
"In the end, it will fall on the surplus money and food."
"Under the Qin system, the demand for money and grain is massive, and the daily throughput of money and grain is also countless, and the construction of warehouses in the Kanto region can indeed reduce the loss on the road, but with the Qin court's strict defense of the Kanto region in the past, it is obviously worth the loss to make such a move."
"At least."
"It's hard to win the courtiers' consent."
"There must be a follow-up."
"But what's going to happen next?"
Zhang Liang frowned and pondered.
After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Liang couldn't help but shake his head.
I don't have a clue.
For Ji Heng's thoughts, he always can't guess through, and sometimes it's not that he can't guess through, but he can't imagine at all, Ji Heng's ideas are imaginative, eclectic, often not according to common sense, and it is difficult to find corresponding comparisons in history.
If you extrapolate from common sense, you will basically not see the problem, but will only think that everything is taken for granted.
As far as the truth goes.
If it weren't for his own deep understanding of Qin Ting.
I'm afraid I think so.
The Qin court was short of finances and wanted to open up sources and reduce expenditures, and surplus money and grain.
And Zhang Cang is the new Shaofu.
A new broom sweeps clean.
It is completely reasonable to want to make some achievements and make some changes.
Especially in the Kanto region, the repair of the warehouse, which is in line with the "repair personnel to win the sky" propagated by the First Emperor's tour, is completely reasonable, and a certain patch is also made, that is, only the Kanto money and grain are allowed to stay in the place for up to three months after the collection of money and grain, and then it must be transferred.
Never stay too long in the Kanto region.
Everything seems to be taken for granted.
But Zhang Liang didn't believe it, this matter would be so simple, and he didn't believe it, with a person as cunning as a fox like Ji Heng, he just tasted it, and this was not Ji Heng's style of acting in the past.
Ji Hengding has another picture.
Zhang Liang got up, patted the bamboo slip in his hand gently, and said in a low voice: "What is Ji Heng calculating?" What are you trying to do? ”
"What exactly does he have in mind?!"
Zhang Liang looked puzzled and paced back and forth in the courtyard.
Ponder for a long time.
Ultimately.
He still set his sights on money and food.
Whoever started the trouble should end it.
And money and food happened to be what Qin Ting cared about the most.
Zhang Liang said softly: "Money and grain. The Qin court opened its mouth with money and grain, so it should also be able to find a breakthrough from the direction of money and grain, and Qin Ting's approach was mainly to surplus money and grain for the imperial court. ”
"If you don't have money, you have nothing to do."
"It's just through the so-called open source and throttling, the surplus money and grain that can be saved is too limited after all, and it can't bear too much at all.
"It's hard to make follow-up progress."
"Is it really so deeply influenced by Ji Heng that I will be suspicious no matter what?" Zhang Liang muttered to himself, but his brows were furrowed.
Long.
Zhang Liang shook his head.
Qin Ting's doing this will definitely not be untargeted.
Nor can it be untargeted.
How could Qin Ting have so much time and energy to toss? If you don't plot anything, all this is obviously more than worth the loss, and it is also relaxing the control of the Xiongnu, as well as relaxing the control of the Kwantung region, and the requirements of the Qin system for the world, which is obviously inconsistent.
"It's obviously not enough to open up sources and reduce expenditure."
"We also need money from the localities."
"Ji Heng has compassion for the people at the bottom, so he is unlikely to support continuing to collect wealth from the people, and if he can't take money from the local people, he can only take it from other places."
"Merchant?"
Zhang Liang shook his head.
He didn't think he was a businessman.
After the 'official mountains and seas', the vitality of the businessmen was greatly damaged, and they were also targeted by the local officials, and now the businessmen are stripped of the layers in the court and the locality, and they can't collect too much money at all, and they really have a lot of money and grain in their hands, and most of them have the shadow of local officials behind them.
This is difficult for the government to find out.
Before Qin Ting thoroughly investigates the local situation, it is unlikely that he will do it, and rash actions will only startle the snake, and he will not be able to make ends meet, and Qin Ting does not have so much energy and motivation to investigate.
What's more, even if it is found.
The money and grain earned by the merchants have long been divided among the localities.
How much can Qin Ting profit?
"Where's the nobility?" Zhang Liang's eyes moved slightly.
Forthwith.
He shook his head again.
The aristocracy is even more impossible.
The aristocracy was already on the opposite side of the Qin court.
They hide their wealth more strictly, and it is simply unrealistic for Qin Ting to snatch out those hidden belongings from the hands of the nobles, and the difficulty is comparable to arresting the hidden nobles.
This is obviously not possible.
Merchants and nobles are not good, so only officials remain.
Zhang Liang looked up at the sky and said in a condensed voice: "Qin Ting wants to take advantage of the remnants of the First Emperor's tour of the world to continue to clean up the Kanto officialdom?" ”
"It's just that Qin Ting can really have such courage?"
"The Kanto officialdom has been harsh for many years, deep-rooted, and under the tandem of each other, there is no army to suppress the formation, and only some officials come down to strictly investigate, even if something is really found? Under the concealment and protection of each other, it may be difficult to convict in the end, and may even be countersued and slandered. ”
"And what does this have to do with this warehouse?"
"Do you want to use the warehouse to stabilize the place? And then let the imperial court clean up slowly and methodically, and not worry about local chaos? ”
"It's possible."
"It's also something that Qin Ting can do."
Come to think of this.
Zhang's conscience must be certain.
There was a calm look on his face.
After thinking about his thoughts carefully, Zhang Liang strengthened his understanding.
He chuckled, "I want to cover it up." ”
"The fanfare of planning for the northern Xinjiang is actually just to divert attention, let the officials of the Kwantung region relax their vigilance, and then achieve the goal of cleaning up the officialdom of the Kwantung region."
"If I'm not mistaken."
"Qin Ting's true intention is not in the warehouse."
"After the warehouse is completed, the local government obeys the orders of the imperial court and transfers the corresponding materials, and when these resources arrive at the warehouse, the Qin court has no worries, and I am afraid that it will do something to the corresponding officials, and the imperial court holds a large number of materials, so it is not worried about local chaos at all."
"The livelihood of all the people shall be firewood, rice, oil, salt, iron, etc."
"If the people are not chaotic, the land will not be chaotic."
"Nominally, it's a warehouse, but in fact it's a tomb for a magistrate."
"And after the local officials knew the intentions of the Qin court, they were probably quite happy, thinking that they could get the money and grain issued by the Qin court as soon as possible, but they didn't know that they were building tombs to bury themselves."
"But how do I break it?"
Zhang Liang stood still.
He frowned, deep in thought.
He thought that he had guessed the true purpose of the Qin court, but he knew it, which did not mean that he could convince others, especially the local officials, that the 'atrocities' of the first emperor in Jiangdong were still vivid, and I am afraid that not many officials would dare to risk their lives at this time.
The sword did not pierce itself, and no one would take the initiative to cry out in pain.
What's more, this is just his personal conjecture.
And how to convince people?
It is impossible to prevent the construction of warehouses.
No official would dare to do such a thing, and it would be equally difficult to prevent materials from entering the warehouse, unless it could be said that many local counties and counties could be moved, and at present, the chances were slim.
As for making local troubles, it is even more unrealistic at present.
The First Emperor's tour has just ended, and the tens of thousands of soldiers who have not been disbanded have not yet been disbanded, and they will go directly to come over at that time, who can withstand the Kanto region?
Come to think of this.
Zhang Liang also looked sad.
He sighed softly, "Is this your calculation? ”
"Even if someone in the outside world can guess your thoughts, or even be sure of your thoughts, but due to various circumstances, there will never be too many people who respond, and they can only watch the implementation and cannot stop it.
"There is only one ear in the world."
"And the conventional way to break the game, I'm afraid I have already guessed it for you."
"It's nothing more than making noise in the local area, stirring up local dissatisfaction, thinking that the Qin court built a warehouse just to continue to levy more land and rent taxes, although I don't know how you will deal with it, but these tricks, I'm afraid there is nothing to be done at all, if you want to break the situation, you can't do such a routine operation anymore."
"Only the sword goes sideways."
"Win in the same way."
"If the noise is not enough, then sink the materials transferred by the imperial court, and if it is not enough, then kill people, and kill until everyone in the Kanto region sees the true face of the Qin court, and does not want to think of it as a snake anymore, so that there is a certain chance to break the situation, and if you want to do this, you still have to convince the local officials."
"The only way to do it is to do it first."
"In order to make others stop and watch."
"It is also possible to disrupt the situation in the Kanto region and make your calculations fail, just want to do this, it is not so easy, but since there is a direction, it may not be impossible to achieve."
"The road is a way out."
"Things are also done by people."
"Back then, Su Qin was able to bear the seal of the six countries, why can't I, Zhang Liang, follow suit?"
Zhang Liang's eyes were shining.
His eyes were full of fighting spirit and excitement.
He had now slowly found a way to compete with Ji Heng.
It also began to enter the game in earnest.
He put the bamboo slips on the ground into the study full of cobwebs, and then looked deeply at the old house, and then looked at the weeping mulberry in the courtyard, as if to remember this scene in his mind, and then left without looking back.
When Zhang Liang began to plot destruction, a major event also occurred in the northern grasslands.
Tou Mandan died.
He died at the hands of his own son.
The king of the grassland, after several turmoil, finally changed his candidate.
Maudun ascended to the throne.
Meanwhile.
Dozens of miles away from the Northern Plains, there was only one person left in the scout team of the Shi people, this person was covered with bloodstains, but he still protected the bamboo tube under him, and he rode his horse and galloped on the wide grassland.
The North Plains and the Great Wall are near!
Tomorrow's three watches, still can't code words in bed and doze off
