When people were in Qin, they ruled the world

Chapter 303 The Contradiction Between Military Merit and Land
This great war that took place in the seventh year of Qin Wangzheng spread to seven countries in the world. The Qin army conquered more than [-] soldiers. Even a victorious war is the result of soldiers fighting the enemy one by one on the battlefield, and the price paid will naturally not be small.

And these costs ultimately need to be compensated by the Qin State. The reason why the Qin Army's combat power is the best in the world, the philosophy it adheres to, in the final analysis, there is only one sentence, that is, there must be brave men under great rewards.

Although the people of Qin were resistant to war, if there were no material rewards that far surpassed those of other countries, they would not fight to make the world fearful of tigers and wolves.

Qin's rewards for soldiers with military exploits involved titles, fields and houses, and money. After a great battle, the amount of rewards Qin needs to pay is itself an astronomical figure.

Especially in the seven-year war of Qin Wangzheng, the number of soldiers and horses used by Qin State exceeded [-]. It can be said that since the Battle of Changping that year, Qin State has never used such a large number of troops in any war. troops.

In this way, after the war, the rewards for the meritorious soldiers and the compensation for the soldiers who died in the war will be extremely important things for the next Qin State, and their importance is even higher than Ying Zheng's marriage.

Because whether this matter can be dealt with is related to the future military strength of the Qin army, to the future credibility of Ying Zheng among the people of Qin, and to the credibility of the Qin court in Qin.

Once there is any mistake, it will not only involve the soldiers of the Qin army, but also the people's hearts at the level of the entire Qin country. Such problems may not show much power in a short time, but at a specific moment, there is a decision. The power of life and death for a nation.

It is impossible for Ying Zheng to be careless about this.

Therefore, in the Xianyang Palace at this time, Xiangguo Lu Buwei, the outgoing general Meng Ao, and imperial historian Xiong Qi are all present here.

Lu Buwei was in charge of the taxation, money and food of the Qin State as a prime minister, while Meng Ao was the leader of the military. As for Xiong Qi, his position as a censor was in charge of various documents and books of the Qin State, including The population and household registration of Qin State.

It can be said that the calculation and rewards of the Qin army's military achievements in this war must be completed by the cooperation of these three people.

In Xiong Qi's return, data appeared in Ying Zheng's ears one by one, and Ying Zheng heard huge amounts from them.

After Xiong Qi submitted all the relevant data, Ying Zheng looked at Meng Ao, the general of Qin State was getting older and older.

After all, in the original historical trajectory, this general has almost reached the age of dying, and it is a very unexpected thing that he can still appear here now.

"General, is there any discrepancy between the data mentioned by Doctor Yu Shi and the data calculated by the army?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Reporting to the king, it is generally in line, but regarding the details, further calculations are needed." Meng Ao replied.

Here, he is not only the general of the Qin State, but also the military representative of the Qin Army. He must play an important role in the description and reward of military achievements.

After all, if there are any mistakes in it, he is the most important person responsible for it.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. I think you must tell your Majesty at this time." When Meng Ao had no objection, Xiong Qi spoke again.

"What did you find?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Your Majesty, regarding the property rewards for the soldiers, according to Qin's current accumulation in the inner palace, it is not a problem. It is enough to bear the next big war, but there are some problems with the fields and houses." Xiong Qidao.

"Isn't that enough?" Ying Zheng asked.

"My lord, for now, it is enough, but if there are a few more battles like today, the situation will become very troublesome." Xiong Qi said.

"Really?" Ying Zheng said noncommittally.

Regarding Qin's military merit system, Ying Zheng has sat on the position of King Qin for so many years, so he has a deep understanding of it. After all, among all the systems of Qin, this place can be said to be at the core.

In this world, the land that rewards soldiers for military merit is good land. Although Qin has a vast territory, the land that can be called good land is limited. Not only Qin, but the world at this time is like this .

The degree of development of the land of Qin State is still very high among the six countries today, and it is a little worse than that of Wei State, but it is much better than Yan, Zhao, and Chu.

But even so, facing the situation that Xiong Qi said at this time, it is still a very serious issue for the Qin State, and it even has a bearing on the rise and fall of the Qin State in the next hundred years.

"I have noticed this problem before, but the current situation facing Qin State is not the time to deal with this problem. After the world is unified, it is time to make adjustments to the corresponding problem." At this time, Lu Buwei said .

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, people who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries." Xiong Qi retorted to Lu Buwei's words.

"If you can't handle the current matter well, no matter how far you look." Lu Buwei said coldly.

Since Shang Yang's reform, Qin State has become a war machine. All domestic policies are in the service of war. This is also the basis for Qin State to be strong. It is the best choice in the current situation.

If it is adjusted at this time, what will happen?Whether it eliminated the hidden dangers or caused another turmoil, no one can tell clearly, and no one can really grasp the degree of it.

"This matter is indeed an unavoidable problem, but now is not the time to solve it." Ying Zheng said.

Ying Zheng's words undoubtedly affirmed Lu Buwei's point of view. The current state of Qin can't consider the problems that will happen decades later.

What's more, the problem Xiong Qi mentioned is actually not a problem in Ying Zheng's view. The world is very big, and the six countries are far away, and it is not only the wolf tribe in the north and the Baiyue in the south. There is enough space Make up for the overdraft of the national power by the military merit system.

However, Ying Zheng couldn't tell Xiong Qi about this matter at this time.

In Yingzheng's memory, his elder brother-in-law did something in the future that almost brought Qin's great cause of unifying the world to an end.

In that rebellion, the result for Qin State was not only the disastrous defeat of the [-] attacking Chu army, but also caused turmoil in Han, Wei, Zhao and other places that had been occupied by Qin State at that time.

As the instigator of the chaos, how could Ying Zheng not be on guard against Xiong Qi.
