54 Chapter 54

"White pole, red umbrella." Ying Zheng's eyelids raised slightly, "What's behind this sentence?"

"Oh, it's all about the lying board." Hehua replied loudly, "Lying on the board, burying the mountain, burying the mountain, crying and shouting, relatives and friends have come to eat......"

Hehua's voice paused slightly.

Han Shu pursed his lips and chuckled.

"For dinner, there are umbrellas and umbrellas, and the whole village will bury the boards together, and the red umbrellas will grow in the coming year." Ying Zheng raised his hand and poked Hehua's small forehead, "Do you want to eat the red umbrella umbrella lying on the board?"

"I, I'm not going to eat indiscriminately!"

Hehua stretched out his hand to hold Yingzheng's arm, and pitifully assured, "I won't eat any white pole red umbrella!" Father, I'll be very well-behaved, just let me go. ”

"Fighting a war is not child's play, if you go with you, you will only become a burden to the army." Ying Zheng held the person in his arms.

"No, I'm very hard, and I won't run around."

Hehua shook his head, his little hand holding the placket of Yingzheng's clothes coquettishly, "Father, I want to go, I really want to go." "The farthest place I've gone to is here, it's Shanglin Yuan, I'm so big, I haven't left the customs yet."

"Princess, what's good outside?"

"Guanzhong is the most prosperous place in the world, eating, playing, seeing, all kinds of things are much stronger than outside, if you go out of Guanzhong, I'm afraid you are not used to the poverty and dilapidation outside."

"But no matter how good the place is, you will get tired of staying for a long time." Hehua looked up at Ying Zheng, "Father, you have been in Xianyang for so long, won't you get tired?"

"Yes."

"Then why doesn't Father go out for a walk?" Hehua was a little strange.

"Because I can't get out." Ying Zheng said, "Great Qin's current treasury is not enough to support me to patrol the four seas."

This sentence is very simple, Hehua understands that it costs a lot of money to inspect the four seas, and now Daqin has no money, and his father can't inspect the four seas.

There are also wars, in the past, there were often five or six hundred thousand troops, but now there will be no more than fifty thousand, and General Meng Tian's expedition to the Xiongnu was only forty or fifty thousand at the most, and everything was just because he was too poor.

If only I could have a lot of money.

If you have money, you can build it on a straight road, you can build a steamship, and Xianyang City, which my father has always wanted to expand but has never had the money to expand, as long as there is money, this

Something is no longer something that can be thought of in a dream, but something that can actually be done.

- So the question is, where do you get so much money?

Hehua frowned.

Ying Zheng's eyes moved slightly, and he raised two fingers, and wiped the tip of Hehua's frowning eyebrows with his fingertips, "Can't go out to play, unhappy?"

"Well, I'm not happy." Hehua nodded, "I am even more unhappy when I think that my father is less free than me."

Ying Zheng raised his eyes.

"The princess doesn't have to be unhappy."

Zhang Han pondered for a moment and hesitated to speak, "The next group of Hu people caravans who came to Xianyang to do business will soon arrive, this caravan is larger than the previous caravan, and the goods sold are more precious—"

Ying Zheng glanced at Zhang Han.

Sensing Ying Zheng's gaze, Zhang Han's voice paused slightly, and he instantly shut up. "Go on." Winning politics is faint.

"Our new round of tariffs has been raised from the initial tax rate to □ tenths, according to this rate, we can collect more than double the tax we can collect this time than last time."

Zhang Han spoke cautiously and clearly reported the taxes he calculated to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng lazily raised his eyebrows, "Yes, it's indeed this number, you are very careful." "You're very attentive."

"The minister is guilty." Zhang Han's heart jumped, and he quickly knelt down to plead guilty.

The sudden move made Hehua a little puzzled. - What is the crime of just calculating the goods and taxes of the next batch of Hu caravans?

But soon, she reacted, "The history of Zhisu Nei is in charge of the world's grain, grass and taxes, and the taxes paid by the Hu caravans are also within their jurisdiction. The number you mentioned was calculated by Zhisu Neishi and his henchmen after several days and nights, and it is an extremely confidential matter, how do you know it?"

"Did you figure it out yourself, or did someone else tell you?"

These words are to hand Zhang Han the steps. Zhang Han's fingers tightened slightly, and there was a bit of caution in his voice, "It was calculated by the minister himself."

"How?"

Hehua asked.

Zhang Han pursed his lower lip, "The tax that can be handed to His Majesty by the Zhisu Neishi is naturally a very confidential matter, and the minister can't find out."

But the Hu caravan is traceable, the route they walked, the time they spent, how many people they hired, and how many people they reported to the Great Honglu Office.

These seemingly insignificant things can deduce the value of their goods, and knowing their goods, it is not difficult to deduce the taxes they will be taught next time. "

"So, these things alone can deduce their goods?" Hehua was surprised.

"Handmade products are light in weight and fast, but if they are gold and silver jewelry, they are bulky and difficult to walk, and more people need to be hired to protect the caravan."

"How many people they invited, and which route they took, were all compiled into a book by the general, and wrote to Your Majesty, knowing these things, it is not difficult to know their goods and value this time."

"I see." Hehua understood, turned around and asked Yingzheng, "Father, did you already know?"

"Yes."

"That's amazing!" Hehua exhaled softly, "Father is so powerful! If you know these things, you will know the taxes of the caravan!"

If these words are said by others, they are full of flattery, but when these words are said by a five-year-old child, they are full of naïve admiration, and their eyes are shining, full of worship for the person in front of them, Ying Zheng's eyebrows moved slightly, and he reached out and pinched the child's pink little face.

"Mo Xuewangli's flamboyant tongue."

Win the political road.

- It's a lot of fun to listen to.

"Oh, don't pinch your face, I have a fragrant fragrance today, and pinching your face will get dirty." F Hehua hurriedly went to hug Yingzheng's arm to stop the emperor's cheek rubbing, "I didn't learn from Wang Li, what is there for him to learn?"

"There's a lot more for me to learn from the princess." Wang Li walked up to the high platform, and when he heard Hehua burying himself, he couldn't help but defend himself, "Riding and archery, the art of war, the princess can learn it."

Han Xin followed behind Wang Li, and the two walked up one after the other, leaning over to salute Yingzheng. Ying Zheng's eyes moved slightly, his movements stopped, and he carried the little princess with one hand and asked people to sit beside him.

Hehua noticed that Han Xin was coming over, so he stopped playing with Yingzheng, and snorted lightly and said to Wang, "I don't want to learn from you." "Your cavalry and archery lost to Han Xin, the art of war is under Zhang Han, and the art of cavalry and archery is not top-notch, why should I learn from you?"

Wang Li had an instant heart attack.

- He knew that if he lost, he would be blamed by Eleven!

Han Xin looked around, and his gaze fell on Zhang Han, who was standing behind Hehua, "General Zhang Lang's art of war is above that of the young general?"

r />

Hehua nodded heavily, "Zhang Han is very powerful, not only in the art of war, but also in cavalry and archery, which is much more powerful than Wang Li."

This is the truth.

At the beginning, Wang Li was not used to seeing Hehua close to Zhang Han, and had a lot of trouble looking for Zhang Han in private, although Zhang Han was cautious, but he would resist if he was forced to be in a hurry, and after the two competed, the proud young general reluctantly accepted the existence of Zhang Han.

- The person is beautiful, and the art of cavalry and archery is also beautiful, so it is not unacceptable for such a person to stay by Eleven's side.

"Ahem, what do you do with the past?" Wang Liqu coughed lightly, obviously unwilling to let Hehua expose his old bottom to Han Xin.

Han Xin's gaze stayed on Zhang Han's face.

Zhang Han's eyelids were slightly raised, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Well, if you don't mention it, you won't mention it."

Hehua smiled, "But Zhang Han is not only better at riding and archery, but also very good at settling accounts!" Well, it's as powerful as Zhisu Neishi!"

She almost forgot that Zhang Han was not a traditional military general, his original position was Shaofu, one of the Jiuqing, and an official who specializes in taking care of his father's private treasury.

"Zhang Lang will be so powerful, only be a Lang general by the princess's side?" Han Xin looked at Zhang Han, who was standing quietly behind Hehua, and was a little speechless.

Isn't it said that Daqin's official election system is the most perfect?

Now it seems that it is not much better than the Six Nations, and the talented people are buried like them. - Although the superior is aware of his talent and ability.

Hehua choked for a moment, "Ah, this, he, he's just by my side temporarily." "He's so powerful, he definitely won't guard me for long."

Zhang Han's brows furrowed slightly.

"He was originally going to accompany the general on an envoy to the Western Regions, but it was because he was seriously injured and could not travel far that he was forced to stay." Hehua hurriedly explained, "If it weren't for the injury, he would have made great achievements with the general at this time."

"Oh, that's right."

Han Xin reluctantly accepted this reason, "It seems that General Zhang Lang's luck is not very good, he can obviously make immortal achievements, but he stayed in Xianyang City because of his serious injuries."

Liu Ji's eyes darkened. - When will Han Xin's broken mouth be changed!

What are these words?

Is Xianyang City a place where people can't be seen? Is the princess a flood beast? As for being so embarrassed, I feel sorry for Zhang Han

Is it?

Wang Li frowned, and raised his foot to kick Han Xin's calf. Han Xin was completely defenseless and was kicked by Wang Li.

"Oh, Lang General, be careful."

The small temple people who were close to each other had a shrill voice, but they didn't stretch out their hands to help. - This mouth is not cleaned up, don't say it's just a wing, even if he falls a dog and gnaws on the mud, he can bear it.

Ying Zheng's fingers moved slightly, and he sent a sip of tea to his mouth.

"Shhhh

Han Xin rubbed his calf and looked back at Wang Li, "Young General, what are you doing?"

Wang Li glared at Han Xin, who was still confused at this time, "If Zhang Han is unlucky, there will be no lucky person in the world." "He's already favored by the princess, isn't his luck good enough?"

Han Xin was a little disgusted, "What is this-"

"The Major General is very right."

Zhang Han frowned and interrupted Han Xin's words, "It is a blessing for me to be favored by the princess in my third life."

Shallow knowledge. For generals, they should make a name for themselves in the military, rather than counting on the favor of others.

>

After more than half a sentence, Han Xin no longer expressed any opinion on Zhang Han, only raised his elbow and hit Wang Li's arm, and reminded this young general who was quite speculative with himself in a suppressed voice, Major General, you must not be like this.

…… Shut up!

Wang Li couldn't wait to cover Han Xin's mouth.

The soldiers are like gods, but it is a mess to treat people and things. What about this man's brain? All of them were used to exchange for talent in the art of war?

In an instant, Wang Li's envy for Han Xin's attainments in the art of war instantly zeroed.

"Of course Wang Li won't be like that."

Hehua looked at Han Xin, feeling a little uncomfortable with his words, Not only Wang Li will not be like this, but Zhang Han will not be like this, they are all pillars of Great Qin, so they don't need to please me to seek a future.

It's natural.

Liu Ji stood up suddenly, stepped forward and pulled Han Xin's arm, and pulled the person behind him, Your Majesty is wise and martial, and the princess is discerning, how can she let a talented person be buried by her side?

It's just that the treasury is empty, and Zhang Lang will be young and young, so he stays with the princess to listen to orders.

Liu Ji gave Han Xin a look and asked him to close his own energy

Troublesome mouth, When the time is ripe in the future, and the treasury has money, General Zhang Lang will be able to go out with the army and become the future general of Great Qin.

Han Xin's brows moved.

He is just not good at communicating, but he is not stupid, first Wang Li kicked himself, and then Liu Jila himself, no matter how dull people are, they also notice that they don't listen to what they just said, otherwise these two people will not pull and pull with themselves in front of the emperor and the princess.

Han Xin shut up aggrievedly.

- So powerful, but being an attendant by the princess's side, anyone will think it's good to be subservient?

He felt sorry for Zhang Han.

A kind of fellow will be regretted.

You don't have to feel sorry for Zhang Han. Ying Zheng on the main throne slowly spoke, I left him by Eleven's side for another purpose.

Zhang Han's fingers tightened slightly.

Han Xin was skeptical, "What's the use?"

"The Southwest." Winning the government was calm.

?

7

!!!

Han Xin can't be calm, The land of the southwest is no less than the land of South Vietnam, and Your Majesty wants to hand over such an important place to a young man who has never led a soldier?

"Your Majesty think twice!"

Wang Li blurted out, "Although Zhang Han has the talent of a general, the southwest is extremely important, if there is no experienced veteran in charge, I am afraid that it may not be able to be taken down smoothly!"

Liu Ji opened his mouth, and his voice disappeared into his throat.

- Is His Majesty the Emperor too bold? Can such an important place be handed over to a stinky child?!

Zhang Han knelt on one knee, Your Majesty, the minister is young and useless, but I am afraid that I can't bear such a heavy burden.

I said you can afford it, and you can afford it. The voice of the winning government does not distinguish between joy and anger.

Hehua's fingers clenched tightly at his sleeves.

Thanks to the teacher's evaluation and getting along with these days, she knows Zhang Han's talent and temperament better than anyone else. Not arrogant or impatient, calm and cautious, it is a knife hidden in a sheath, quietly waiting for the moment when he is amazed.

But she alone knew that it was useless.

The children of Guanzhong are all tigers and wolves, this sentence is a positive term, but also a derogatory term, they are a group of wolves that are eyeing each other, once you can't control them, then you can only be devoured by them.

Zhang Han's temperament is not as flamboyant and wanton as Wang Li, he is a very clumsy person, he never shows off his cavalry, let alone shows off his arrangement, so that the guards' impression of him stays at the level of being born poor but liked by the princess.

Relying on the favor of others, this kind of person is the person who is most despised by the children of Guanzhong, and most of the current sergeants of Daqin are the children of Guanzhong, leading such a group of people who despise themselves in their hearts to go on an expedition to the southwest, I am afraid that they feel that their lives are too long.

"Your Majesty sees people to the point and never makes mistakes."

Li Si stroked his beard, His Majesty wants Zhang Lang to go to the southwest, so there is a reason that Zhang Lang will go here, and Zhang Lang will not have to refuse.

Liu Ji slowly came back to taste.

just said that he would go to the southwest, but he didn't say whether he would send troops or something else, and Zhang Han might not be able to do it in this southwest.

Besides, what a proud person the young general of the Wang family can clean him up, Zhang Han's ability to use troops must be far above him, otherwise this domineering little general will not give Zhang Han a good face.

First-class cavalry and archery, quite familiar with the art of war, and extremely good at financial management and accounting, what is the plan of His Majesty the Emperor to send such a person to the southwest?

Liu Ji's brain was running rapidly. After half a breath, he thought - a caravan!

Over the years, the emperor has sent detailed works to the surrounding places in the name of caravans, and the trip of the general Wang Ben to the Western Regions was set off after the detailed work touched the situation in the Western Regions about the same.

With the pervasive meticulous work, coupled with Wang Ben's use of troops like a god, the Silk Road will be opened like a bamboo, and the countries of the Western Regions will be included in the territory of Great Qin.

But now, it seems that the emperor wants to do Wang Ben's Silk Road again.

The only difference is that the leader of the team has changed from Wang Ben, who has made great achievements, to Zhang Han, who has never fought a war, and the location has also changed from the countries of the Western Regions to the southwest, and as for the form, it is the difference between sending troops and caravans.

The southwest land also has trade contacts with Daqin, judging from the news brought back by the caravans, the southwest land is full of hills and dense forests, and the war horses can't run away at all, leading an army of 50,000 people to fight there, but I am afraid that there is no caravan of 5,000 people to play a big role.

But there is only one Zhang Han, which seems to be far from enough. It also needs a lieutenant general who lacks experience, and a very sociable person to accompany him.

Liu Ji's eyes flashed, and he raised his hand and patted Zhang Han on the shoulder, "General Zhang Lang, Your Majesty says that you can do it, you will definitely do it."

"Zhang Han, get the order."

Meng Yi climbed the stairs.

Zhang Han's shoulders stiffened slightly.

"Minister, obey the order."

The boy's forehead rested on the back of his hand.

Wang Li was shocked.

Han Shin's mind went blank.

Okay, he completely retracted his conclusion that he felt that the Great Qin promotion system was not good.

This kind of thing that has never led the army but was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, he turned over the previous history, and only thought that Zhao Kuo, who was talking on paper, was named the commander of the three armies by King Zhao, and led hundreds of thousands of troops to be completely killed by Bai Qi, and the Battle of Changping ruined the national fortune of Zhao.

Of course, Han Xin is definitely not Zhao Kuo, and Yingzheng is not King Zhao, and now is the time to recuperate, he will not give Han Xin hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the southwest, there are not so many troops, let him go there to do?

Soon, Han Shin, who was extremely sensitive to military affairs, thought of it - a caravan.

Your Majesty, can you go together?

Hardly any hesitation, Han Xin immediately spoke. ——Which general can refuse to open up the territory and expand the territory, and leave a legacy in history?

Ying Zheng's eyelids raised slightly, Meng Tian is short of manpower, you go to Meng Tian.

Thank you, Your Majesty! Han Xin was slightly stunned, and then he was extremely excited.

Great, he finally doesn't have to train in Shanglin Yuan! Running for a thousand miles is far more enjoyable than fighting in the name of a caravan!

What about me? Zhang Han and Han Xin have a good place to go, Wang Li can't sit still, Your Majesty, what about me? Where do I go?

You?

Ying Zheng's eyes fell on Meng Yi.

Looking at each other, Meng Yi understood, and glanced at Wang Li, You are not going anywhere, stay honestly in Shanglin Yuan to learn the art of war.

…… I don't!

Afraid that Meng Yi would beat himself, Wang Li hid behind Liu Ji and showed his head to protest with Meng Yi, The best place to learn the art of war is on the battlefield!

"I'm going to the battlefield to learn the art of war!"

Liu Ji saw Meng Yi beating Wang Li, that made a ghost cry wolf howl for the world to test the color, afraid that it would affect his unlucky pond fish, he hurriedly raised his hand, Meng Shangqing, if you have something to say, don't do it!

That makes sense.

Huang Shigong looked up at the young man hiding behind Liu Ji with his teeth and claws, If the young general wants to make progress in the art of war, the best place is on the battlefield.

Liu Jiheng was in the middle, and Meng Yi didn't do it directly, "He is too young, if there are no reliable elders to follow, going to the battlefield will only cause chaos for others."

"Then find an elder to go with him."

Huangshi Fair, don't forget to inform the old man when you set off, the old man will take your car and go to the southwest to catch up with old friends.

Meng Yi's hanging heart finally fell back into his stomach. - It is finished.

Ying Zheng's brows moved slightly.

Huang Shigong, please rest assured, I will come to the door when the team departs. Meng Yi took a deep breath, let go of the hand holding the sword, and bowed deeply to Huang Shigong.

Wang Li was confused, He took our car, what are you doing to greet him?

Because Meng Shangqing knows the etiquette better than you, the young general. Yellowstone is fair.

Wang Li disdainful, you have been deceived by him, so he does not respect the elderly. - But Fan Mengyi is ten years younger than now, he can beat your brain out!

Hehua blinked.

The atmosphere was extremely harmonious, Li Si breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng bowed slightly, Li Si instantly understood, got up and made a gesture of invitation to Huang Shi Gong, Huang Shi Gong, you are tired after watching the battle for so long, why don't we change places to rest?

Meng Yi's plan has all been achieved, and the calculation in his heart has not yet been accurate. INTERVIEWER How can the funeral area be connected to the world of another princess?

Where does Li Tingwei want to go?

Huang Shigong glanced at Li Si.

If you ask yourself, he doesn't have a good impression of this representative of the Legalist family who killed his fellow disciples.

He has no Meng Yi's half-point of brilliance, let alone Han Xin's heart and no distractions, and even Wang Li's recklessness and prudence are not tainted at all, scheming and unscrupulous means are his true colors, he is a representative of the Legalists, but he is also a complete official.

Li Si smiled, I heard that Huangshi Gong likes venison, I have prepared a whole deer banquet there, I know that Huangshi Gong doesn't like me, most of them will not appreciate it, but Huangshi Gong, venison can not be disappointed, and the general trend of the world is even more unbearable.

Give up my reputation for Your Majesty. Li Si smiled lightly and said loudly, "Huang Shigong, I am for Your Majesty, and I have no regrets."
