West Side.

In the next half month, Ji Heng seemed to disappear and never went to the court again.

has always lived in seclusion.

also sat at home all day long, discussing the restructuring with Zhang Liang.

However, the two didn't talk about too many detailed things, just roughly listed some directions, and did some discussions and debates, and more often, both of them were thinking about the direction of Daqin's restructuring and discussing the feasibility of the reform.

Hu Hai on the side looked suspicious.

Because in the past half a month, Ji Heng and Zhang Liang did not have too much clear direction for the reform, and the two had a lot of differences on the promotion and implementation of the reform.

At least not hindered.

But Ji Heng didn't seem to be conscious.

It looks like it will definitely be implemented, and he is fully focused on the direction of reform, and he has no worries about how to persuade other courtiers and how to get the ministers to approve.

But this kind of big thing is not something he can mix.

Although Hu Hai was puzzled, he didn't dare to bother.

Another day of dusk.

Zhang Liang was also a little uncontrollable.

He found Ji Heng and said, "Brother Ji, why are you so sure that the world official system will definitely be implemented?" I am also very sure that Daqin's military system will definitely be changed? If Fusu could not completely control the military power, the reform of Great Qin would probably not be able to go on at all. ”

"You can't be unaware of the truth."

"Why don't you seem to be worried at all, you look like you're in your chest?"

Zhang Liang looked at Ji Heng with a curious expression.

This is also his doubt.

At the beginning, he also recognized Ji Heng's idea, if he wanted to promote reform, he must seize the military power, otherwise it would be easy to give birth to chaos, and there would be no way to control it.

Therefore, his initial view was to stay ahead and wait for Fusu to arrange the affairs of the army.

However, Ji Heng did not agree.

He believes that the matter of restructuring should be decided as soon as possible.

The sooner the better.

Differences gradually arose between the two.

Ji Heng raised his head, he looked at Zhang Liang, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and said with a smile: "Brother Zifang, if you care, it will be chaotic, since the pacification of the Kanto region, I am afraid that you rarely care about the situation in the world anymore." ”

Zhang Liang frowned.

He looked at Ji Heng suspiciously, nodded and said: "Not really, I care, but it is not as solemn as in the past, and with Daqin sweeping the world, the unification of the world is already the trend of the times, and it is not hindered by the outside world at all, unless there are extremely serious problems in the internal affairs of Daqin, it will have little impact on the situation in the world." ”

"But I have to say."

"The restructuring led by you and me is the most dangerous thing in Daqin."

Zhang Liang talked eloquently.

Forthwith.

There was a look of doubt in his eyes.

He knew that Ji Heng would not be untargeted.

Could it be that my laxity in the past year has made me miss a lot of keys?

Zhang Liang was silent.

He frowned, recalled the news he had heard, and carefully combed it out, and indeed found nothing unusual, the world was developing steadily, although there were still a few riots in the Kanto region, but they were quickly pacified.

The officials of Great Qin have also been relocated long ago.

There's not much wrong with that.

The whole world has entered the stage of recuperation.

What's wrong with that?

Zhang Liang was silent for a while, looked at Ji Heng, and said in a condensed voice: "I still want Brother Ji to speak up." ”

"Zhang Liang doesn't understand."

Ji Heng smiled, he got up and went to the study, took a piece of paper from the study, and then wrote two words on it.

Huns!

Seeing the word 'Huns', Zhang Liang's pupils shrank, and there was a look of understanding in his eyes.

He muttered: "Xiongnu, I really didn't pay too much attention, with the Xiongnu in the north of Mengtian, the influence of the Xiongnu on the north has been very weak, when there was chaos in the eastern part of the country, the Xiongnu did not take advantage of the chaos to go south, and Daqin still has male soldiers stationed on the frontier, so it does not pay much attention." ”

"Is there something strange about the Huns?"

"That doesn't seem quite right, either."

"If I remember correctly, Daqin has negotiated with the Xiongnu, and the trade between the two sides has been much more frequent than in the past, and now Daqin has a strong army, and the Xiongnu will not be able to go south at this time, and there should be no need for this."

"Brother Ji, why do you list the Xiongnu separately?"

Ji Heng smiled faintly, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, and said, "The Huns think so too." ”

Hear the words.

Zhang Liang's face changed slightly.

He looked at Ji Heng suddenly, and his eyes showed surprise: "Brother Ji thinks that the Huns will go south?" ”

Ji Heng nodded.

"Why is that?" Zhang Liangdao.

Ji Heng chuckled lightly and said slowly: "First, now that there is a truce in the world, many people will subconsciously relax their vigilance, secondly, all parts of northern Xinjiang communicate with the Xiongnu in business and trade, and they communicate with each other very frequently, so that many people will be negligent, and thirdly, the Xiongnu are about to be unable to live." ”

"They had to go south!"

The first two points, Zhang Liang agreed.

As for the third point, Zhang Liang looked suspicious.

The Huns couldn't survive?

How is this possible.

With the exchange of trade between the two sides, the living environment of the Xiongnu will undoubtedly be better than before, after all, all kinds of materials are no longer in short supply, although a lot of iron and salt are still tightly controlled by the Qin court, but other goods, the Xiongnu have obtained a lot.

How can this be so bad that you can't survive?

Hu Hai also looked curious.

He also couldn't understand it a little, it was clear that the Huns were stable and rising, why did Ji Heng suddenly conclude that the Huns would not survive? Also concluded that the Xiongnu were going south?

That doesn't seem to make much sense.

Ji Heng laughed, with a hint of cunning in his eyes, and said slowly: "You don't know much about the situation in the north, especially for the Xiongnu, in the past two years, the situation of the Xiongnu is not as good as you imagined, especially last year suffered a snow disaster, and this summer, it is rumored that there are signs of drought in some areas of the north, in this case, the livelihood of the Xiongnu will be very problematic." ”

Hu Hai was puzzled: "But it's not like you can't live, right?" ”

"They can sell cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock to Daqin, won't this be exchanged for grain?"

"No matter how bad it is, if you kill these livestock, won't you be able to live the same?"

Hu Hai didn't understand.

It doesn't make sense.

Zhang Liang frowned, as if he had thought of a little, but he didn't completely figure it out.

Ji Heng shook his head and sneered: "Natural disasters also mean human disasters, last year's heavy snowfall, this summer's drought, will cause, a large number of livestock on the grassland side of the death, and these livestock are the livelihood of the Huns in the past, the decrease in number will inevitably lead to an increase in the food gap." ”

"As you say."

"The Xiongnu can buy from Great Qin."

"And that's the problem."

"The court doesn't buy it? Or sell it at a high price? Zhang Liang said uncertainly.

Ji Heng shook his head again.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said slowly: "You actually underestimate the exchange of commerce between Great Qin and the Xiongnu, maybe in your opinion, this is beneficial to both parties, but in fact, this is not the case, but the unilateral benefit of Great Qin." ”

"In the past, Daqin sold tea, salt and other goods."

"The price is high and the price is small."

"And most of what the Huns sold were livestock."

"For Daqin, livestock is not a rigid need, so it will definitely be depressed, but tea, salt for the Xiongnu, is indispensable, this back and forth, the Xiongnu in the grassland hard grazing, the final year's harvest, almost all fell to the side of Daqin."

"In addition, the two sides have been discussing each other for several years."

"The trade between Daqin and the Xiongnu is almost always the maximum."

"That is, the things that the Xiongnu can sell to Daqin in a year are basically sold, the output is reduced, and the trade volume is bound to decrease at that time, and the trade surplus is too big for the Huns to accept, and the cattle, sheep and horses that the Xiongnu have worked so hard to raise are all sold to the Qin people, and they only get the tea and salt that are quickly consumed, and they are completely working for the Qin people."

"This kind of dissatisfaction, with the advent of natural disasters, will definitely breed in large numbers."

"They just feel like they've suffered a big loss."

"Under normal circumstances, if the grassland is not unified, under the natural disaster, the first reaction of the grassland tribes is not to go south to plunder, but to seize the grassland, plunder the livestock of other tribes, and annex other tribes to strengthen themselves, but with the reunification of the grassland by Maudun, this possibility is very small, and under internal worries, it will inevitably be able to start a war."

"In order to appease the steppe tribes."

"And loot enough supplies for the winter."

"By the way, vent it fiercely, and suffer a big loss in business."

"Therefore, the Xiongnu will definitely go south."

"And sooner than many people expected."

"Because of the situation of the Xiongnu, with the spread of drought, it will only become more and more serious, and the imperial court will definitely be vigilant at that time, in that case, it will undoubtedly become very difficult to go south if you want to make a big gain in the south, so if I take the chance, I will definitely send troops south in advance before the Qin court is vigilant, and attack it unprepared, and take it by surprise."

"And then come home with a full load."

"This move will not only make the grassland departments more focused, but also allow the grassland to tide over the difficulties, but also boost their own prestige, with the talent of Mao Dun, it is impossible to think that he will inevitably go south, and it is likely that he is already preparing in secret."

"Even."

"It's already south!"

Hear the words.

Hu Hai's face changed greatly.

"The Huns have already gone south? Can this court be prevented? ”

Zhang Liang was silent.

He's still a little unreasonable.

But I feel that what Ji Heng said is very reasonable.

Ji Heng crumpled the paper on the case and threw it into the firewood.

It is normal for Zhang Liang not to understand.

Even.

Few people in the Great Qin Dynasty can figure out why, because mutual commerce is just budding, and few people can understand the key to the 'economy', and it is difficult to think that through commerce and trade, Great Qin has actually secretly controlled the lifeblood of the Xiongnu, but it is not obvious at the moment.

Just like the 'Hengshan Strategy' used by Guan Zhong back then.

The bloodless destruction of Hengshan is the power of economic warfare.

It's just that Guan Zhong's era is too far away from now, so far away that many people can't remember it, and they can't imagine that the economy is so deadly.

But this is economic warfare!

A war without gunpowder.

It's just that the Huns obviously can't play, so they finally chose not to play, and directly flipped the table, taking advantage of the fact that they still had a little vitality, waved their troops south, wanting to stop continuing to suck blood for Daqin, but the current Daqin, how can the Huns be able to contend with?

And now the general who leads the troops of the Northern Plains army is Han Xin.

Han Shin never underestimated the enemy militarily.

As long as this battle breaks out and the Xiongnu are completely defeated, the situation in Daqin will also change, and the ministers of Guanzhong, who originally stubbornly did not want to change, and even intended to stop them, may also have a sharp change of attitude in an instant, and take the initiative to ask Ji Heng to reform the system.
