Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

But in this way, danger and opportunity coexist!
As a county lieutenant in Xiangjun, there is probably no shortage of opportunities for meritorious service. As long as you don't get killed by the enemy, you will naturally have military merits...

And with Meng Yi's own qualifications, if he makes military exploits again, then he will not be Jiuqing when he returns to Xianyang in the future, and it is possible to be the assistant of the Sangong, or even the Sangong.

Yingzheng probably didn't expect that he would be so persistent. He frowned and said, "The position of Lang Zhongling is of great importance, and Qingwai is the county lieutenant. Let me find a suitable successor for a while?"

Meng Yi seemed to have expected that Ying Zheng would use this excuse to prevaricate himself, and said without hesitation again: "Brother Meng Tian, ​​you can take over as Lang Zhongling!"

Ying Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then he was speechless, and nodded at him in confusion.

Now that the Hus are gone, the princes are all enfeoffed outside the Great Wall, and Meng Tian is stationed in the north, it's just taking off his pants and farting, it's just superfluous.

At the beginning, Ying Zheng might have had doubts, so he didn't directly abolish the army at the border.

But now more than a year has passed, and the feudal kingdom of the princes has stabilized.

Especially in recent months, the war in the Baiyue land has attracted the attention of the whole Qin Dynasty, but in the northern land that has lost attention, the disarmament has already begun for a long time.

Only enough elite county soldiers are left on the front line of the Northland as a strategic force, and all the rest disarm and return home.

Meng Tian, ​​the Great General of Zhenbei, has also finished his job completely. When the disarmament work is completed, he will return to Xianyang to report on his duties and wait for a new appointment.

It is really appropriate to take over as Lang Zhongling!
"Forget it, since Qing is keen on the battlefield, then you can change to Xiangjun Junwei."

Ying Zheng doesn't mind giving his ministers the opportunity to display their ambitions. On the contrary, he needs his ministers to have ambitions, so that he can better support the operation of Daqin and become stronger and stronger.

Meng Yi was overjoyed, he bowed to the ground and said: "My lord, thank you for your compassion."

Ying Zheng waved his hand, turned to look at the three veteran generals Xin Sheng, Qiang Li, and Zhang Tang, and said, "Xin Sheng is the captain of Minzhong County, Qiang Yan is the captain of Nanhai County, Zhang Tang is the captain of Guilin County, plus Meng Yi , Ren Xiang Junwei."

"The four of you are so eager to make things happen, show me this Baiyue closely, and remember one sentence... Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements!"

The last sentence is the key point. What Daqin wants is a peaceful and stable Baiyue, not a war-torn Baiyue.

Knowing how to suppress rebellion and cut people down is not considered a skill.

With Thunderbolt to help out, just sending a hundred generals can do a good job!
And as the highest military officer of a county, if you still use killing people as military merit, that is a crime.

Being able to deter those who hide evil intentions under the rule, and being able to kill the chaos in the cradle, is the real commander's ability.

At that time, without military merit, it was the greatest military merit!

"Here."

The three veterans and Meng Yi bowed their hands together.

After the four of them received Ying Zheng's order, they all looked at Qin Mo, and the veteran Qiang Li spoke first, expecting: "President Qin is good at fighting, and he is even better at caring for the people. Can you teach us a good strategy?"

Yingzheng and Fusu, as well as the accompanying civil and military officials, also cast their eyes on Qin Mo.

Especially old Wang Ben, and old Fan Zeng who was brought over by Fusu.

These two old men both have a heart for comparison!
The current garrison system was reformed by Qin Mo, except for military operations and disaster relief, they could not intervene in civil affairs at all.

They really couldn't figure out how to let the county lieutenant lead the county soldiers to appease the people without interfering in the county's civil affairs...

And Qin Mo was really caught by the question, he smacked his lips and pondered for a while, before slowly opening his mouth and said: "Fumin is originally the duty of officials in counties, counties and towns, and the county soldiers don't need to intervene, and they can't intervene."

"However, if the land of Baiyue is newly attached, if the county soldiers are only bored in the camp for hard training, it will inevitably lose its deterrent effect, so that those with evil intentions will secretly think that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"If I come to serve as the county lieutenant..."

"First, long-distance training is often carried out, or armed parades... This can not only train soldiers, but also deter those who harbor evil intentions..."

"Secondly, every public military parade is held during the slack season. Before it is held, there is a lot of publicity, so that all the people under the rule come to watch the ceremony... This military parade is not a review of soldiers, but to show the might of the army. How to do it is to deter those who harbor evil intentions..."

"Thirdly, after the military parade, a real review will be held, and the young and strong Yue people will be invited to participate. Among them, they must be quite popular, they may not hide evil intentions, but those who harbor evil intentions must rely on wooing their peers and recording them in the book, so that it can be easily monitored..."

"Fourth, after the review, let the military propaganda and instructors show their housekeeping skills... Tell the Vietnamese people the stories of military law thoughts that they like to hear and see in the army, and then hold a meeting to remember the bitterness and sweetness, so that the Vietnamese people can remember the truth of the war. Pain, as well as the poverty of the past, thinking about the security of having ample food and clothing now... In this way, even if people with evil intentions want to make troubles, most of them will not have the people to follow!"

"Fifth, for those barbarians in the southwest who have not yet surrendered, with the land of Baiyue as an example, it should be the best policy to send casual guests to incite uprisings and slowly eat away!"

Qin Mo finally stopped talking, and took off the bamboo water bottle on his waist to drink.

Yingzheng and Fusu, as well as the civil and military officials, nodded their heads and praised: "These five strategies are very feasible... If these five strategies can be implemented, there will be fewer wars inside and outside Baiyue, and it will be generally peaceful!"

Meng Yi, Zhang Tang, Xin Sheng, and Qiang Li bowed down: "Thank you, Prime Minister Qin, for your teaching!"

Old Wang Ben and old Fan Zeng smiled wryly.

Qin Mo's five strategies are generally stable, but the second, third, and fourth of them are better because they are linked together, allowing the Yue people to participate in the grand military parade, and while watching the excitement, they are already in the trap.

In particular, the propaganda and instructor in the army was the garrison system created by Qin Mo, and it was also used to the extreme by Qin Mo. Taking advantage of the grand military parade to appease the people, it will get twice the result with half the effort.

It's really hard to think of a better way, and I can't accept it!

"Does Aiqing have a good policy for civil affairs officials?"

Ying Zheng didn't bother the two masters, and he no longer asked Zhu Wenwu for advice, but only stared at Qin Mo and asked.

Qin Mo drank the cool white leaves in the bamboo tube, and said with his hands together: "The general basic governance strategy, His Majesty and all his colleagues must have been thinking about it. It is nothing more than building water conservancy roads, recruiting mountain and forest tribes to move to the plains, and allowing the people of the Great Qin to immigrate to fill it. , to encourage intermarriage and integration, and to promote the elegant language..."

"I won't go into details here!"

"However, according to my opinion, if you want to firmly control the land of Baiyue under the rule of Daqin, it is far from enough to send troops to guard it and integrate immigrants."

"It is still necessary to encourage business and trade to communicate with each other, just like outside the Great Wall. If you move around more, you will naturally be closely connected, forming mutual dependence, and merging even if you are not in the middle."

"In the land of Baiyue, there are things that are in short supply, such as rhinoceros horns, ivory teeth, jadeite, and pearls, as well as things that are in great demand for the people, such as sugar and spices...

"Civil officials should encourage the people under the rule to plant more sugar cane outside the ration fields, build sheltered harbors, build sea ships with stronger wind resistance, and transplant and pick spices from the islands in the outer sea."

"In this way, the business and travel exchanges are prosperous, the people of Baiyue are profitable, and all hidden dangers will be easily solved and disappear invisible..."

Ying Zheng nodded repeatedly, clapped his hands in praise and said, "That's right, Aiqing really has a good plan!"

Fusu and the civil and military officials also said: "To Baiyue, this sugar and spices are like wool and cotton to the outside of the Great Wall... With these two things, the land of Baiyue will be tied to my Great Qin... No After ten years, Baiyue will become the cultivated land of Great Qin..."

But this time, Lao Wang Ben and Lao Fan Zeng completely stopped comparing themselves.

Old Wang Ben was better, he knew that Qin Mo had the same peculiar idea of ​​governing the country as Guan Zhong, but old Fan Zeng didn't know it, so he was a little surprised while being convinced.

He somewhat understood why Yingzheng had asked Fusu to hang out with Qin Mo frequently in the past two years, and instead threw aside Chunyuyue's real prince teacher.

Because following Qin Mo, one can really learn the skills of governing the army, the people and the country!

And Chun Yuyue...Old Fan Zeng subconsciously looked at Chun Yuyue, then curled his lips and shook his head: [A morally rotten Confucian who has more success than failure! 】

Chun Yuyue seemed to be aware of the contemptuous gaze of old Fan Zeng, and immediately frowned and stared back: 【Conspirator and cunning man! 】

When he split up with Fusu last time, Yingzheng feared that Fusu would not follow the old Fan Zeng to learn the right way, so he specially sent a fast horse to Chunyuyue to pass the order, telling him to let go of his duty of teaching Yue people's children and to watch his disciple Fusu closely.

The temperaments of the two old men are completely opposite, and they are bickering around Fusu!

……

After Qin Mo offered advice on Baiyue's army and government affairs, Ying Zheng was probably satisfied, and finally stopped catching the toad and let Qin Mo go for the time being.

Instead, he began to discuss the specific details of governing Baiyue with Fusu and the civil and military officials.

How many troops are stationed in each of the four counties, the soldiers stationed in Guanzhong, or the soldiers stationed in Chu, or the soldiers stationed in Bashu?

How much should be filled by immigrants from each of the four counties?
How to encourage intermarriage and integration?
One pile after another is related to thousands of soldiers and civilians, Yingzheng and civil and military officials, like a tireless perpetual motion machine, finalizing all the details one by one.

Qin Mo's eyes were wide open, and he would occasionally interject a sentence, but most of the time, he just pretended to listen carefully, and in the end he just listened until his brain ached.

And time, gradually from day to night...

Yingzheng finally decided with Zhu Wenwu on the safe harbor and where the shipyard will be built. He waved his hand and said, "Set up a banquet and cook the black ginseng salvaged from the sea. I will drink with you!"

"Here."

Zhao Gao took the order with his hands in his arms, and quickly left the big tent to give instructions to the Huotou army.

When Qin Mo heard that there were sea cucumbers to eat, his spirit was shocked and his mind became clear again.

Ying Zheng seemed to have noticed the change in Qin Mo's state, shook his head dumbfounded, and said, "Ai Qing, I almost forgot that there is a vast and boundless land along the coast of Nanyue to the west."

"If there is a sea-going ship with stronger wind resistance, wouldn't my Daqin be able to communicate with other countries at the same time from Hexi land and sea waterways!"

Qin Mo was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "What Your Majesty said is very true... In fact, it is more convenient to take the sea route than the Hexi land route."

"Because a ship not only saves manpower and animal power, but also has a carrying capacity dozens or even hundreds of times that of a car. The cargo carried by a large ship is equivalent to a large caravan with hundreds of cars...or hundreds of troops. , or even thousands!"

When Ying Zheng heard the word 'transporting troops', Danfeng's eyes narrowed immediately, as if a flash of light had flashed through them.

He is very interested in the vast area where the Western population and culture are prosperous!

Let’s not talk about the distance, let’s just talk about the west of Luoyue Kingdom, if those dark-skinned aliens can get more, the development of Baiyue will be much faster...

Just like in today's inland Qin Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of Huns, Yuezhi, and Donghu tribes, regardless of gender, age, and age, are constantly repairing rivers, digging canals, building bridges and paving roads throughout the year. Much more efficient!
"Father, is there such a vast area overseas?"

Fusu and Zhu Wenwu felt confused when they heard their conversation, and couldn't help asking.

Ying Zheng nodded, but he didn't intend to hide anything. He reached out to open the jade seal niche box on the desk, and took out the sheepskin map that he had obtained in Xiou King City.

The waiter next to him wanted to stretch out his hand to help unfold it, but Ying Zheng waved it back, gently unfolding the sheepskin map himself, and hanging it up for Fusu and Zhu Wenwu to watch.

At the same time, he explained in his mouth: "To the west of Qin Qing's Hexi country, there is an unknowable vast area, as well as unknowable countries outside the region... and westward along the coast... is also westward... those vast western regions and various countries. The country will not disappear out of thin air... Therefore, there are naturally vast territories overseas!"

Fusu and Zhu Wenwu suddenly realized that what they said was rough and reasonable, it was indeed the truth.

So, all the people gathered around and looked at the sheepskin map carefully, their curiosity was beyond words.

"My son... Zhuqing... Don't look at this sheepskin map as small, but it covers a large area, which is tens or hundreds of times that of the Great Qin Dynasty!"

"The dotted line is the coast of the Xiou Kingdom, and further west is the triangular coast where the Luoyue Kingdom is located."

"This triangular coast is two or three times larger than Langya County in Daqin. It is rich in elephant teeth, rhinoceros horns, jadeite, pearls, and spices everywhere..."

"Continue to go west and pass this sea area... Let's look at this larger triangular coast, called the Indian Peninsula. Qin Qing's Hexi Country..."

Perhaps Ying Zheng was really thinking about going to the West. Qin Mo only explained the knowledge points once, but he remembered them clearly, and he did not hesitate to explain them.

Fusu and Zhu Wenwu were all amazed when they heard it, and yearned for it.

Ying Zheng, who had been starving for a day, finally stopped talking when the Huotou Army brought the main food of the banquet.

"May I ask Father, where did you get this sheepskin map?"

Fusu asked Yingzheng curiously while eating a rice bowl with fried sea cucumbers and scallions.

Yingzheng answered vaguely, "Seized from Xiou King City, this is the only one in Daqin."

"A few days ago, the army captured Queen Xiou alive. I asked him where he got it. He said that it was offered by sea merchants from the west ten years ago."

"However, due to the language barrier between the two sides, those overseas merchants exchanged some goods with Xiou Kingdom, then left Xiou Kingdom and continued to sail towards the coast of Yangyu and Panyu."

"It stands to reason that if those overseas merchants had been sailing along the coast, they should have been able to reach the coast of Chu State at that time, and even reach the coast of Qi State, and even the coast of Yan State, to meet the kings of the Three Kingdoms and cause a sensation."

"However, I seem to have never heard of the fact that foreign merchants docked on the coast of the Three Kingdoms and had an audience with the monarch..."

When he said this, he felt very regretful.

If those overseas merchants can reach the Three Kingdoms, the talented people on the land of China will definitely be able to find a way to communicate with them, and even learn the language of the other party.

In this way, we can really understand what is going on outside the region, and what powerful countries are there?How far has civilization reached?
It's a pity that they didn't know what happened to them. They haven't been able to reach the Three Kingdoms in the past ten years, and they have never returned to Xiou Kingdom!
"Perhaps it was a fierce sea wind, and all the ships were destroyed..."

Fusu conjectured regretfully, and then said strangely: "Since the foreign merchants do not speak the language of the people of Xiou, how can Father understand this sheepskin chart?"

This is the discovery of Huadian.

Hearing the words, Zhu Wenwu raised his head from his job bowl curiously, and looked at Ying Zheng in unison.

"I also listened to Qin Qing's explanation, otherwise how could I understand."

Ying Zheng pointed to Qin Mo, who was concentrating on dealing with fried sea cucumber rice, and said hesitantly.

Everyone suddenly realized and didn't ask any more questions.

Qin Mo can always know something that others don't know, or he has heard it from others, or he has read it from ancient books.

Moreover, there are always some jaw-dropping things that can be tinkered with.

The imperial court has long been accustomed to his whimsical ideas and extensive knowledge...or in other words, he is different!
Only the old Fan Zeng, who looked stunned by everyone, was even more puzzled in his heart.

Why did it suddenly happen?

The first emperor didn't even know the anecdote outside the territory, but he could know it. Don't you all wonder how he knew it?

But no matter how curious old Fan Zeng was, he didn't dare to ask Qin Mo.

Well, ever since the Allied Forces of the Six Nations were set up by Qin Mo to wipe them out in the mountains outside the Zhecheng Plain, he hated Qin Mo from the bottom of his heart!
"Old Fan, do you like the food?"

Fusu seemed to notice that old Fan Zeng was out of his mind, so he asked with concern: "But you can't chew?"

Old Fan Zeng shook his head: "It's very delicious, and the black ginseng is also very soft and glutinous. I can still bear it with my old teeth."

Fu Su was even more surprised when he heard the words: "Then why is the soul not staying in the house?"

Old Fan Zeng didn't hide anything, raised his chin towards Qin Mo, and said in a low voice, "Don't the prince be curious, how did Prime Minister Qin learn about those anecdotes from outside the region?"

Fusu was stunned for a moment, but then he couldn't help laughing, and replied: "Don't ask, if you ask, you just heard it from someone or read it from an ancient book."

"Old Fan wants to be curious about this, shouldn't he be even more curious about how the Thunderbolt was developed by Prime Minister Qin?"

Old Fan Zeng's eyes lit up, and he asked curiously, "How did he develop the Thunderbolt?"

Fu Su shook his head: "I don't know either, it is said that he was imprisoned for three days, and then he came out of it like that."

Old Fan Zeng: "..."

Is there any difference between answering and not answering?
However, he understood what Fusu meant, and the implication was that there were many strange things about Qin Mo, so there was no need to get entangled.
