The people who were named, including Li Si, followed suit: "The ministers are willing to dedicate the fields in the city to the imperial court!" ”

I smiled slightly and stroked the table: "You are all loyal ministers of my Great Qin, and I am very relieved. However, as an emperor, how can I plunder my ministers? Yingjiang, you discussed with Bai Chong, and when planning the new city, replace the fields in Xianyang City with the past, and increase it by half on the original basis. ”

Yingjiang and Bai Chongqi claimed to be, and everyone thanked them together.

What a harmonious scene of kings, saints and sages! It almost made me cry tears!

It was night, when the palace lights were on, Yingjiang arrived at the Sihai Hall and reported in detail who occupied how much land.

I expected it, and said lightly: "Don't be stupid, you know that the fields in the city are fertile." ”

Ying Jiang remembered the events of the day, and wondered: "Why didn't Your Majesty let the minister tell it in the palace?" ”

I breathed a long sigh of relief and reclined on the couch: "There are two reasons. First, if the clan uncle speaks directly, I am afraid that they will be jealous of the clan uncle, after all, some people have a wrong way to come from the field, I will not pursue it, they are not guilty, and naturally they will not be too resentful; Second, they are all three princes and nine kings, but they just occupy some land, and they don't have to fold their face in front of so many people, and they just return it to the court. ”

Ying Jiang suddenly said: "Your Majesty is wise! At that time, the minister only wanted to solve this matter once and for all, and he didn't think much about it, thank you for your majesty's love! ”

I got up and said, "They are all clansmen, the clan uncle thinks about me, and I think about the clan uncle." It's not too early, so let's go back and rest. ”

Looking at Yingjiang's distant back, I chuckled and walked towards the dormitory.

The victorious army of the North and the South is on the side of my couch, and I have to protect his father......

In the following days, it was mainly the survey of the new city, involving fire prevention, drainage, distribution of the city, etc., and there were many things, and it was estimated that all the surveys and designs could not be completed until the spring.

The construction of the Eldest Princess's Mansion began in the winter moon. These daughters of Ying Zheng are very sensible, and under the leadership of Ying Tao, they jointly signed a report, requesting that the regulation of the eldest princess's mansion be halved.

Although the ministers and I sighed with emotion, no matter how frugal the court was, it could not perfunctory such an important matter as marrying a princess, and the people who were going to marry were basically important ministers, and the court regulations could not be reckless. In the end, it was discussed, but the garden in the backyard was stopped, and it was left for them to build as they wished.

At the beginning of winter, in the temple of the four seas, the fire is booming.

After reading Feng Youcheng's recital, Li Si handed it to Feng Zheng.

"But I don't want it to be so cold north of the Great Wall this winter. Beihu has frozen countless cattle and sheep to death, does Your Majesty want to agree to Zalut's request to ask Daqin to help? ”

Feng Zheng finished reading it, and then Zhang Han took the report and looked at it carefully.

I nodded: "Zalut is a pawn left by me to deal with the Huns, if they are allowed to perish, Daqin will have a very hard time facing the Huns." Nowadays, there are many projects in Daqin, and they are all major events that are conducive to the national economy and people's livelihood, and we can no longer distract ourselves from dealing with the Xiongnu. ”

Feng Zao frowned slightly: "But Zalut has not fulfilled the agreement to trade with Great Qin within half a year, if he is easily helped, the minister is afraid that Zalut will be arrogant and break away from Great Qin's control." ”

Looking at the report that Zhang Han put back on the case, my eyes narrowed slightly: "This is exactly what I am worried about!" ”

Li Si thought for a while and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Zalut said before that the reason why Beihu failed to trade with Daqin as agreed was because Beihu had just been established, and the cattle and sheep had not yet reached the scale of being able to trade with Daqin. Although this point is corroborated by Hazhusu, there is no conclusive evidence after all. Now that the Kamiya county guard has confirmed this matter again, the minister thinks that he can believe it. ”

I reached out and leaned in front of the stove: "What does Li Xiang mean, Zarut didn't lie to me?" ”

Li Si nodded: "If he deliberately deceived His Majesty, it is impossible for so many people not to find out!" ”

"What does Feng Xiang think?"

Feng Zao's brows were tightened, and he was a little undecided, and hesitated: "What Li Xiang said is certainly reasonable, but he doesn't dare to be unsuccessful in seeking the country, but if he has the possibility of deceiving His Majesty, it will cause huge losses to Great Qin." Moreover, Donghu also needs food relief, which is a new county of Daqin, and it should be a priority. I think we need to be cautious. ”

Hearing this, Li Si was also a little shaken. At that time, the manpower, money and food consumed to conquer Zalut was not a small amount, and Daqin also helped him occupy the southern grasslands, if Zalut rebelled after this help, all the efforts made by Daqin would be in vain.

I glanced at Zhang Han: "Zhang Han, you can talk about it." ”

Zhang Han arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister will only fight." Although Zalut submitted to Daqin, after all, he acted in secret, and there was no moral restraint in rebellion, so the minister regarded him as an enemy. From the perspective of the art of war, his situation is that he is a wolf and a tiger, with the enemy Xiongnu to the north, and Daqin, who will annex him sooner or later, to the south. Chen guessed that he was now in a dilemma. ”

My eyes lit up: "Go on." ”

"Yes. If the two evils are dwarfed, the lesser is taken; If the two benefits are dwarfed, the weight is taken. Not to mention that the Xiongnu were located in the Beihai region further north, and suffered even more from the severe cold, even if the water and grass were abundant, he could not get what he needed from the Xiongnu. Therefore, the minister thought that he was more inclined to continue to submit to Great Qin. As for whether he can help him make up his mind, it only depends on how His Majesty responds to his request this time. ”

Then he glanced at Li Si and Feng Zheng: "The worries of the two prime ministers are not unreasonable. The minister suggested that His Majesty could agree to Zalut's request, but it could not be attributed to him, but to Daqin and His Majesty. Let Beihu know that although Daqin defeated Donghu and almost destroyed Beihu, Daqin was helpless at that time. And now, Daqin is willing to ignore his past suspicions and live in peace with Beihu. ”

Li Si nodded slightly: "Tai Lieutenant's plan is very clever. In this way, Zalut can be given a reason to choose to fall to Great Qin openly. Once he chooses to coexist peacefully with Great Qin in the eyes of the people of the world, there is no need to worry too much that he is just secretly subduing Great Qin, and he can rebel at any time without losing his morality. ”

Feng Zai agreed: "Not bad. On the one hand, if Zarut does not take this opportunity to show favor to Great Qin, it is almost certain that he has a heart of disobedience. Both, Daqin will not take out the grain in vain, and he will not be able to reap the kindness of Beihu, so he will make a wedding dress for Zalut. ”

I looked at Zhang Han approvingly, and his analysis was the choice of most people when faced with a conflict of double avoidance.

"Very good, then according to what Zhang Han said, we must make a huge momentum, not only to let the Beihu people know the goodwill of Daqin, but also to let the conquered Donghu people also understand Daqin's broad-mindedness."

When Zhang Han heard this, he added: "It's just to prevent Zalut from being unable to control Beihu, after all, his foundation is still shallow, and whether he chooses to reconcile with Daqin is probably not his own decision." ”

I smiled indifferently: "Seven hundred cavalry re-established the reputation of Beihu, if Zalut couldn't even do this, I wouldn't have chosen him to be my pawn in the first place." ”
