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

Chapter 160 The Old Man Talks About Teenage Crazy, Really Wants to Compete with Qin Mo

After Yingzheng and other civil and military generals perfected the military and political system in Baiyue, an edict was sent to inland counties and counties by water to leave Baiyue at an accelerated speed of [-] miles.

Just like the previous immigration filling outside the Great Wall, those who are willing to emigrate will be pardoned for their crimes or given good loans.

If people from good families wish to immigrate, they will be exempted from taxes and corvee for three years.

Regardless of whether the prisoner is a low-ranking person or a citizen of a good family, as long as they are willing to come to the land of Baiyue, the ration fields allocated are ten mu more than those in the inland area.

If you still have the energy to cultivate new fields, you will be exempted from taxation for three years within a hundred acres. As for those beyond a hundred acres... there is no corresponding title, and the cultivated fields can only be within a hundred acres!

However, within three years of self-reclamation, the government will not impose rigid regulations on the proportion of five grains or mulberry hemp that must be planted...you can plant whatever you want.

Even if you plant all the self-cultivated fields with cash crops such as sugar cane, spices, fruits and vegetables, it's up to you!

This is to show off the chariot and horses to lure them.

As long as you come, you can not only have enough food and clothing, but also make a fortune, so I ask you whether you are interested?

……

In addition, according to Qin Mo's original initiative in Xianyang, in addition to calling on the inland people to relocate to fill Baiyue, most of the more than [-] guard knights and more than [-] southern Chu infantry who participated in the pacification of Baiyue this time had meritorious deeds. All rewards are in Baiyue.

If these meritorious soldiers are willing to come to Baiyue to cultivate in person, they can also replace the ration fields in their hometowns and the original Jue Tian to Baiyue.

If you don't want to come to farm in person, you can also dispose of it freely. It is up to you to decide whether to relocate your own nephews and relatives to take care of it, send retainers and guests to take care of it, or lease it to local people!

……

Furthermore, during the pacification of Baiyue, the old prime minister of the left, Wang Wan, who stayed behind in the pass, actually issued 'national bonds' according to Qin Mo's proposal.

Even though Baiyue was pacified this time, with the good foundation laid by Qin Mo, the loss of the war was hundreds of times less than expected, and the court did not lack food, grass and armor, but... still issued...

Because of Yingzheng's patrols in the south, the public trial of corrupt officials and bad gentry, and the stimulation of the "conquest of Hu Nuo opera", the cohesion of the people in the inland areas is now unprecedentedly high.

Ever since Yingzheng was stationed in Baozhuzhai and started to pacify Baiyue, the righteous people in the interior also began to donate supplies frantically.

And just like the previous campaign against the Xiongnu, there were not a few people who wanted to come to Baiyue to help the war, but they were all stopped by the counties along the way, and no officials dared to issue a guide certificate, fearing that they would add trouble to Baiyue...

Fearing that the hearts of the righteous people would be chilled, Lao Wang Wan accepted the donation after asking the local government to stop the volunteers.

Especially the people of the original six kingdoms, it is too late to win them over, and it would be inappropriate to kill all the righteous deeds.

As a result, national bonds printed on rice paper were distributed like running water, but the amount of donations was limited. The value of grain, grass, cloth, iron or money donated by each family was lower than that of a hundred acres of paddy fields.

In this way, it is planned that after Baiyue is pacified, small-denomination national bonds will be rewarded with a few coins of interest, and large-denomination national bonds will be rewarded with Baiyue fertile land!

……

After the immigration work was in full swing, Yingzheng and the civil and military officials finally escaped from the heavy government affairs and planned to return to the court.

"Your Majesty once said that there is a follow-up important task entrusted to the minister. I don't know what kind of important task it is?"

In the big tent of the Chinese army, old Wang Ben saw that Yingzheng was rarely at leisure, so he stayed alone after Zhu Wenwu retreated, asking Yingzheng to fulfill his original promise.

Ying Zheng was taken aback by Old Wang Ben's question, and after pondering for a moment, he remembered that when he, Qin Mo and Fu Su led the army out of Iron Mountain, they left Old Wang Ben and Meng Yi to guard Iron Mountain.

At that time, Lao Wang Ben wanted to fight with all his heart, and took the initiative to ask Ying to be a general. There was no way to entangle him.

"Uh, old Aiqing... I ordered you to join hands with Fusuan to destroy Fulou and Minyue kingdoms by land and water. Isn't that considered a heavy responsibility?"

Ying Zhengchi questioned.

Wang Ben shook his head: "Naturally, it is not an important task. With the foundation laid by Prime Minister Qin, it seems that the two countries have been wiped out this time. In fact, it is only the credit of Prime Minister Qin, which does not show the ability of the minister."

Ying Zheng couldn't help but laugh, and said hesitantly: "A credit is a credit, and no one can claim it. When I return to Xianyang this time, I will definitely reward Lao Aiqing!"

Old Wang Ben raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and asked, "Is it possible to seal a country?"

Ying Zheng: "..."

Well, let me be polite to you, why do you take it seriously?
You said it yourself, but it's just because of Qin Qing's credit, adding some food will be enough.

Still want to close the country?
Relying on the old and selling the old can't play like this!

"cannot!"

Ying Zheng shook his head firmly.

Old Wang Ben seemed to have expected that Ying Zheng would answer like this, but he didn't look disappointed, but said ashamedly: "The old minister also feels that those contributions are not enough to reward a country... After all, the old minister and my father are behind the times, and they are not as good as one." Juniors, hey~!"

At the end of his speech, he sighed faintly, full of the loneliness of a hero in his twilight years.

Ying Zhengdan's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, of course he could see that it was fake for Lao Wang Ben to be lonely, but it was true for him to be ambitious again.

This is the old man chatting about his teenage madness, and he really wants to compete with Qin Mo.

No way, this is what Old Wang Jian was thinking, otherwise Old Wang Ben wouldn't have brought his old father with him in his words!
However, the enterprising spirit of Wang's father and son was what he wanted to see and what he wanted.

Daqin will never dislike the abundance of talents available!

Ying Zheng groaned and stroked his beard and said, "Old Aiqing, do you blame me for not giving me a chance to make meritorious deeds?"

Old Wang Ben bowed his hands immediately and said: "The old minister dare not."

"It's just that, now that the Great Qin Dynasty is flourishing, the robes of the past are gearing up, and they all want to compete for meritorious service."

"Zhang Tang, Xin Sheng, and Qiang Li guard Baiyue. If Baiyue can be stabilized in the next few years, I am afraid that when they return to the court, they will be able to go one step further and rank with the ministers..."

Ying Zheng smiled, this is a bit exaggerated.

Zhang Tang, Xin Sheng, Qiang Yan, Li Xin, Yang Duanhe and other veteran generals won the title of Marquis of Guannei after defeating the six kingdoms and when Yingzheng made great achievements.

But if you want to go one step further to Chehou, you need the real merit of opening up the territory, and no matter how great the skill of guarding is, it is impossible to go further, at most it is to add food!

Seeing Yingzheng's strange expression, Old Wang Ben felt that it was a bit too much, so he changed the subject and said, "Especially that Yiwazi of the Meng family, who didn't do well to be his Lang Zhongling, but asked him to let him go, and became the guard of Xiangjun general."

"If you make meritorious service and return to the court in the future, you must be the honor of the three princes...that is a high position that neither the old official nor my father has ever held!"

Ying Zheng nodded, this is the truth.

But, that's not because I'm stingy and don't want to give you father and son official positions, but because you father and son are afraid of being suspected, so you blindly refuse to accept it.

"After returning to the court this time, Qin Qing will most likely resign from my office, and I don't know if I can keep him...Old Aiqing and Wang Jian's old Aiqing, but they intend to take over the position of right minister?"

"Or, after I reform the imperial court system, I will set up five phases, front, back, left, right, and middle, to leave a place for the two old lovers?"

Ying Zheng asked tentatively.

Old Wang Ben was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head like a rattle, and said firmly, "No, this old minister definitely doesn't have such thoughts."

Just kidding, Qin Mozhuyu is in front of the prime minister.

Whoever takes over will be compared with Qin Mo by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Jie Shi is not an honor, but a social death!

Even if the central government system is reformed and five phases are established, there is still a distinction between primary and secondary. Whoever becomes the prime minister at the time will wait for the death of the society...

Ying Zheng was helpless: "Then what does the old Aiqing want? Do you still want to lead the army?"

Old Wang Ben nodded hastily, and moved, "My parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and Your Majesty knows me."

"Besides Liaodong County, there are still Jizi Dynasty, Fuyu, Sushen and other big clans. I would like to go to Liaodong County to guard and open up the east for Your Majesty...for Great Qin!"

The so-called Liaodong County is the old land of Yan State, including part of Liaoning and part of Jilin in later generations.

Its northern county boundary used to be bordered by Donghu. When Donghu was not destroyed, it was often harassed by Donghu.

Now the northern Donghu has been destroyed, and its land has become the feudal state of the princes.

Therefore, only the Korean peninsula bordering the east, and the big clans such as Buyeo and Sushen are left!

Among them, Jizi North Korea on the Korean peninsula is a country built by the Shang Dynasty survivors and the uncle of King Zhou.

And Fuyu and Sushen were also big clans who had paid tribute to Emperor Zhou.

It is recorded in "Zuo Zhuan" that Zhou Tianzi juxtaposed Sushen with Yan State, and regarded it as "my northern land".

Da Qinteng made a move, and it is indeed time to take it back to Huaxia!
However, there was veteran Yang Duanhe stationed in the Liaodong area. In the past, he used his main energy to guard against Donghu. Now that Donghu no longer exists, he has already started to attack Jizi North Korea, Fusu and Sushen.

If old Wang Ben is allowed to go, it will undoubtedly overlap with Yang Duanhe's position...

"Uh, if Lao Aiqing goes to Liaodong County, where will Yang Duan and the old general go?" Ying Zheng said speechlessly.

Old Wang Ben said without hesitation: "Yang Duanhe has been guarding the Liaodong area for several years. His Majesty should recall him to Xianyang, Guanzhong, and enjoy a few days of happiness."

This is a clear attempt to snatch Yang Duanhe's opportunity to make meritorious service, which is very unkind.

However, if he can subdue Jizi North Korea, and bring Fuyu and Sushen's territory into the Great Qin territory, it will undoubtedly be a great achievement.

And that place is big enough, it's not impossible to award the Wang family a country at Jieshi, so that the descendants of the Wang family can taste what it's like to be the king of a country like Qin Mo!
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "If Old General Yang hears this, he will probably fight Lao Aiqing desperately."

Lao Wang bowed his hands and bowed, but he didn't say much, but silently asked Ying Zheng for his approval!

Ying Zheng watched him ponder for a while, then slowly said: "Forget it, since Old Aiqing is willing to lead the army to fight and expand the territory for the Great Qin, I definitely have no reason to stop it."

"It's just that Old General Yang has guarded Liaodong County for several years, and the foundation has been laid. Now that he can expand the territory, it is really inappropriate to replace him. I can't favor one over the other."

"If you act like that, who will return to serve Daqin in the future?"

"So, even if Lao Aiqing is going to Liaodong, he will coexist with Old General Yang. Each will lead an army and act independently. It only depends on who is more capable and who can collect more territory for Daqin..."

"Of course, the two old lovers can also work together to share the merits of opening up the territory, and I will award the merits at Jieshi!"

This is the challenger, or setting up the competition.

Let the two old men compete in Liaodong.

Yang Duanhe may not be as famous as Old Wang Ben, but he has two advantages.

First, Yang Duanhe can be called a victorious general. He has never experienced the slightest defeat in his life, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is invincible.

Compared with Lao Wang Ben, it is really hard to say who is better at fighting than the other!
Second, Yang Duanhe used to be Qin Mo's old boss. Qin Mo learned [-]% of his fighting skills from Yang Duanhe. If Yang Duanhe wants to attack the Korean Peninsula and the Northeast, Qin Mo must be will help.

At the time of introduction, there was Old Wang Jian behind Old Wang Ben, and Qin Mo was standing behind Yang Duanhe, it was hard to say who could make more contributions!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lao Wang Ben bowed and took orders without saying a word.

He didn't expect it at all, it is rare to have such a result if he really squeezed Yang Duanhe away.

What's more, Ying Zheng made such an arrangement, just so that the father and son of the Wang family can secretly compete with Qin Mo to see who is the most powerful military master after the Warring States period!

"By the way, I've been busy these days, why haven't I seen Prime Minister Qin? I ran there again to hide...cough, what is Prime Minister Qin busy with?"

Old Wang Ben curiously asked about Qin Mo's whereabouts, and almost told the truth.

Ying Zheng was not surprised, he actually wanted to complain more than Old Wang Ben.

During these days, he, Fusu, and all civil and military officials were busy in the dark, but Qin Mo didn't see anyone all day long.

Those who don't know, probably think that Prime Minister Da Qin is busy.

But with a little knowledge of his temperament, it is not difficult to guess that he must be hiding.

That is definitely the laziest prime minister in the history of Daqin, and even the laziest prime minister in the history of China. There is no other branch in this one...

It's really speechless!

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao who was standing by the tent, and asked, "Do you know where Qin Qing is recently?"

Zhao Gao raised his hand and replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Prime Minister Qin often goes in and out of the craftsman's camp recently."

When Ying Zheng heard the word 'Jiangying', he immediately felt a little more balanced.

He knew that Qin Mo's going to the craftsman's camp must be tinkering with some new inventions again, rather than really being lazy.

Although it's a bit of a waste of time, I'm still busy after all!
"Go and see."

It was rare for Ying Zheng to be free, and he didn't want to be bored in the tent anymore, so he got up and walked out of the tent.

Old Wang Ben was also curious about what Qin Mo was up to, so he followed Ying Zheng step by step.

Zhao Gao waved his hand for the imperial guards to follow, and surrounded Ying Zheng towards the craftsman's camp.

However, before the group entered the craftsman's camp, Qin Mo, Zhang Liang and others came out of the craftsman's camp, and the two groups met face to face.

"Meet Your Majesty."

Qin Mo saluted first, and Zhang Liang and others followed suit.

Ying Zheng waved his hands to help them, seeing them hurrying, he said, "What is Aiqing's intention?"

Qin Mo pointed to the direction of the medical camp, and explained: "The last batch of wounded Yue soldiers are leaving the camp to return to their hometown today, and the Lord will send them off."

Ying Zheng suddenly nodded and said, "Let's go together."

So the group turned to the medical camp.

Ying Zheng left and asked, "Aiqing stays in the craftsman's camp all day, but what strange things do you have?"

Qin Mo didn't hide anything, and took out a handful of Sky-Speeding Monkeys from the pocket on the back of his waist: "This is it!"
