Meng Tian is now commanding 500,000 troops of the Great Qin's Northern Army in the north, which is only the number of regular front-line troops.

Behind the front-line troops, there are countless people, whose main task is to be responsible for the construction of the Daqin Straight Road.

At the same time, the Great Wall was built.

What gave Meng Tian a headache was that he spent too much manpower and material resources to build the Great Wall.

When he came back this time, he asked Qin Shi Huang for additional manpower, but he knew that once he asked for additional manpower, he would have to requisition people.

There was no moral burden on Meng Tian, but he knew that if the levy was too harsh, it would make the people rebel.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he returned to Xianyang City, he was called to his home by Wang Jian to drink.

What does this old man mean?

At this moment, Meng Tian understood that he was waiting for Wang Ben.

The problem is that the two pieces of news that Wang Ben brought back were all big problems that made Meng Tian's blood pressure increase.

The first emperor stopped the construction of the Afang Palace, which was a good thing, but he had to build a new dormitory.

Also, the remnant of the Six Kingdoms, oh, Jiang Bai who is now an old Qin person, what kind of person is he and what changes will he bring to Great Qin, Meng Tian does not evaluate it, but he is wary of these people.

If you are not a nobleman, there is no possibility of binding your interests to them.

Without completing the credit of vested interests in the military system of Great Qin, it is impossible to be of the same mind as these people.

But he also knows that what Yingzheng wants to do and the people he wants to reuse are not something that one of his courtiers can interfere with.

"Also, this person not only took the eldest son Fusu, but also the younger son Hu Hai to toss together," Wang Ben was actually very envious, and said, "Not to mention anything else, the eldest son is really knowledgeable, and he is no longer superstitious about the words of those literati." Hu Hai became even more shocking, this kid now goes out every day to ask for money, and he asks those concubines for money, and His Majesty likes it very much. Moreover, it has been many days, and Zhao Gao has not seen the two sons. ”

Meng Tian liked the news.

He didn't like Zhao Gao, not at all.

It's not that he looked down on Zhao Gao, he sensed Zhao Gao's ambition hidden under his deference to Qin Shi Huang.

"If this person can lose both with Zhao Gao, we can rest assured." Meng Tian said tentatively.

Wang Ben smiled and didn't answer this.

The Son of Heaven had high hopes for Jiang Bai, how could he let Zhao Gao be on a par with him.

Moreover, Jiang Bai is not a fool, in this case, how can he have trouble with Zhao Gao?

……

Everyone was wrong.

Early the next morning, Jiang Bai learned from Wang Ben that Qin Shi Huang actually regarded him as a great talent, or the best tool.

This is a good thing, the more people you offend, the more assassins there are.

But for a young master, this is something I can do?

I'm a person who hasn't even been to a bar or nightclub, and although I'm bold, I'm really not very skilled.

"Young master? Isn't that the prince's teacher? I'm not going to do that! Jiang Bai tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep.

He was thinking about how to use to shirk Qin Shi Huang's reuse without having to bear so much responsibility, and he didn't want to affect the lives of people in the world because of his lack of ability.

Fusu didn't fall asleep either.

He was very excited, and he became more and more convinced that Jiang Bai was more suitable to be his teacher than anyone else.

Hearing Hu Hai's snoring loudly, Fusu was very envious.

The stupid child doesn't think about anything else at all, and lives the most freely.

At this time, he heard Jiang Bai's voice tossing and turning, and hurriedly got up and lit the lamp, and asked, "Sir, are you dissatisfied with your father's appointment?" ”

"I'm so dissatisfied, how can I be a high-ranking official and dignitary second only to Jiuqing," Jiang Bai also got up and sat down, and said frankly, "First of all, I don't have that ability, I can't manage a few people." Secondly, such a high position has made me farther away from most people, and it is even more unfavorable to do things with me. Also, since ancient times, how many courtiers who have reformed and changed the law have had a good end? ”

Fusu laughed: "Isn't Mr. not afraid of death?" ”

"Yes, I wish you would give me a knife, but I'm afraid it hurts." Jiang Bai said dejectedly, "This is going to be divided into five horses, I don't want to die of pain?" ”

Fusu: "......"

He didn't say a word, got dressed and immediately went to Yingzheng.

Ying Zheng was stupid.

You are not afraid of death, you are not right, I can understand and respect your choice.

But what the hell are you not afraid of death, but you are afraid of pain.

"Also, this person is talking nonsense, isn't it? He can't manage a few people, those more than 10,000 people, and now he is better than our army in Daqin, and the orders and prohibitions of those girls' training are actually more executive than the Black Eagle Iron Guard, which means that he can't manage talents? Ying Zheng complained, "Forget it, I don't think he can have a chance to refuse in this matter." ”

Edict?

Ying Zheng thief smiled: "Who said that if you want to use talents, you can't play with your heart's eyes?" ”

He did a big job, and the next morning he directly issued an edict to Quan Xianyang, enshrined "Jiang Bai, an old Qin man and a former peripheral member of the non-anti-Qin organization", as the Taifu.

Jiang Bai was the last to know the news, and it was Meng Tian who brought it to him.

"Sir, this is Meng Tian, the first general of Great Qin." Wang Ben introduced.

Jiang Bai looked at the middle-aged general who was not angry and arrogant, and his eyes were like radio lightning, and when he was guessing his identity, he heard that this was Meng Tian, and immediately realized that this group of people was not good.

Meng Tian's voice was like a flood bell and said, "Mr. Jiang Bai, I have heard of you, and more than once. Old General Wang Jian, oh, my first general of Great Qin, General Wang Lao admires you very much, and Your Majesty also likes your talent. ”

"That's because they think too highly of me!" Jiang Bai waved his hand, "The general's return to Xianyang is not for the lack of manpower to build the Great Wall?" ”

Meng Tian was surprised: "How do you know?" ”

He returned to Xianyang to secretly ask for more manpower by returning to China to celebrate the birthday of the Son of Heaven (Qin Shi Huang was the birthday of the first month).

He believes that no one else will think about this.

After all, although Great Qin's finances were rich, it didn't do the people much good, and no one thought that he would ask for more manpower at this moment.

Moreover, both the government and the opposition, even Li Si opposed raising such a huge army in the hinterland of the northern Huns, and few people would have thought that he would come back and ask for an increase in the number of people.

So, how did this man come up with it?

"Don't look at me, no one told me, I just know that the Hetao and the southern part of the grassland are important to the Central Plains Dynasty, and the construction of the Great Wall by the general is a matter of benefit for thousands of years." Jiang Bai commented fairly, "The Great Wall needs to be repaired, before the productivity of the Central Plains failed to produce a new class of troops that exceeded the speed of the Huns and had a stronger battlefield impact than the cavalry, the Great Wall was correct as an obstacle to slow down the southward movement of the Xiongnu and a channel for rapid troop deployment." ”

Meng Tian had a hint of surprise in his heart.

This man has a good eye, and his view of the strategic value of the Hetao region is completely consistent with his and His Majesty's opinions.
