Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 462: Rewards based on merit! (Write another hundred thousand words)

In March, the sixth year of Qin II.

The ice water melted and everything revived. Xianyang City was full of people and a lively scene.

A large number of city residents poured into the streets to welcome the Qin army that was about to arrive in Xianyang to quell the war in the world.

As a burst of neighing of gold and iron horses sounded outside the city, the sound of bells and drums also sounded at the gate of the city. The high-pitched and exciting sound of bells and drums, along with the beating of drummers, instantly detonated the entire Xianyang.

The drums are loud.

The sound shook the heaven and the earth.

A black torrent, led by the leader Silver Helmet General, entered Xianyang step by step. The army was in order, and even the horses seemed to feel the solemnity at this moment, and seemed much calmer.

In the end, when they entered Xianyang, not many Qin soldiers arrived.

As Han Xin entered the city, it instantly caused a heated discussion in the city.

In the end, they cooperated with Han Xin to encircle and suppress Tian Dan.

Especially since Han Xin was born in Guandong, this news is even more shocking.

No one blamed him.

If not successfully settled in the end.

Therefore, when the world was peaceful and the war situation was re-examined, Liu Ji was noticed by many people, but some people still believed that the reason why Liu Ji was so appreciated.

Sitting on the horse, waving to everyone around from time to time, looking quite jumpy and proud.

Compared with Zhou Bo's excitement, Weng Zhong and other Qin generals seemed to be in a dull mood. In fact, they had been very frustrated during the Guandong rebellion this time.

At this moment, Liu Ji could be said to be very proud of himself.

Otherwise, not only will there be no military merit, but I am afraid that I will also be punished.

It has something to do with his background in the Ministry of Affairs.

"coming!"

If we talk about military merit.

The hall was filled with solemnity.

Fu Su was wearing a black robe and sitting on the high platform. Meng Tian and Feng Quji, leading the civil and military officials, were sitting cross-legged below.

"Is this Han Xin who swept the entire Kanto region? It doesn't look surprising. This arm and hand are similar to mine. Why is he so powerful?"

"A natural talent!"

Xiao He and Chen Ping.

But among the many generals in Guandong, only one Han Xin could defeat Xiang Ji.

During the more than four years of Xiao He's rebellion in Guandong, he devoted all his efforts in logistical support. Without Xiao He's logistical support, Han Xin would not have pacified Guandong so quickly.

Behind them are Weng Zhong, Zhou Bo and others.

As for Chen Ping.

Following Liu Ji were two scribes.

As for Weng Zhong and others, they are not much comparable to him. He came from Dangjun, a place of four battles. He faced the siege of Xiang Ji, Tian Dan and others, and faced the most elite troops in Guandong. power.

Before Xiang Ji showed his prowess, Liu Ji's evaluation was not very high. As Xiang Ji defeated the Qin army in the three Jin areas, Liu Ji's reputation increased a lot.

"He is actually another national pillar of our Great Qin."

Later, under the command of Han Xin, they cooperated well and restricted Tian Dan to the ground, unable to advance even an inch, let alone help Xiang Yu.

Without him.

He is just weaker than Han Xin.

Moreover, before Xiang Ji took action, Liu Ji's achievements were also very prominent, and he almost won every battle. He just never defeated Xiang Ji.

"Relying on my own judgment of the situation, I felt like I was in an uninhabited land in Kanto. Various tactics emerged one after another, false and true, true and false, turning the entire Kanto rebellion around."

After Han Xin came Liu Ji.

The onlookers in the city looked at Han Xin curiously, as if they were full of curiosity about this general who had won many battles.

He just looks like he's in his early thirties.

"..."

Han Xin is too young.

Xianyang Palace.

After Weng Zhong's defeat, he appeased people and made various suggestions to stabilize the situation until Han Xin's reinforcements arrived.

The group rode into Xianyang.

Especially in the face of Xiang Ji's fierce offensive, they only retreated, not defeated, and there were no reinforcements for a while, which was very rare.

"He was also born in Kanto!"

But military merit is real.

The officials lowered their heads and looked back from time to time with uncertain expressions.

Compared to the hustle and bustle outside the city.

The atmosphere among the officials in the palace was obviously a bit gloomy. They knew very well that as Han Xin and others entered the palace, the layout of the court would also change drastically.

Everything is led and promoted by Fusu.

A long time ago, Fusu advocated that there is no distinction between old and new Qin people in the world. At first, not many ministers in the Manchu Dynasty really took it to heart, thinking that Fusu was just using this to win over officials from Guandong.

But this time.

Everyone understands.

Fusu is not just talking about it, but actually implementing it.

If not.

This Guandong Rebellion will not last so long at all. With Meng Tian, ​​Li Xin, Zhang Han and other long-famous generals standing by, at the beginning of the Guandong Rebellion, Baiyue fell into silence, and the Xiongnu and the court were at peace. There was nothing that could be done in the short term. If you want to move south without hesitation, you can directly send troops to quell it.

In less than two years, the rebellion can be swept away and the rebels killed.

And this was also the initial thoughts and opinions of many courtiers.

But it was not accepted by Fusu.

In the past few years, Fusu had a very cold attitude towards Guandong, as if he only regarded the rebellion in Guandong as a trivial matter that was insignificant and could not threaten the world of Qin.

Except for Xiang Ji's defeat of Zhang, Weng, and Zhong's coalition forces, he rarely discussed matters to be dealt with in the court, and the rest of the time was basically aimed at dealing with other political affairs.

Over the past five years.

Fusu established nearly a hundred primary schools in several counties in Guanzhong, and last year he even authorized the Mohists to build an additional Taixue with the same specifications as the standard schools on top of the primary schools.

It’s just that the recruitment standards are extremely harsh.

Only students who are talented, recognized by the Mohist school, and pass the examination can enter it. There are as many as 5,000 to 6,000 junior students in Guanzhong, but in the end, less than 200 people enter it.

The screening ratio is astonishing.

Also.

In the past few years, the Mohist family has begun to improve from being completely excluded from the court in the past. Many Mohist disciples have entered the court, which has also aroused the vigilance of officials with legal background.

at the same time.

As the Mohists gradually paid more attention to Fusu, Mohist disciples also burst out with amazing creativity and vitality.

More advanced composting and fertilizing technology has been developed, and many past farming and sowing techniques have been improved. In the past few years, Guanzhong's grain output has increased by more than half a stone from the past three to four stone per acre.

In addition, the mining technology output of copper ore and iron ore has also been extremely developed.

Guanzhong is now prosperous.

all of these.

With the land rent collected by the Shaofu, the oral endowment became the most intuitive manifestation. In addition to these, there were other developments in Guanzhong.

It’s just that there is no food production. Mineral production is so intuitive, but its impact on Guanzhong cannot be underestimated.

Today's Guanzhong is full of vitality.

Compared with the past, which was bleak and people's livelihood was poor, the population outflow has changed very significantly.

It only took Fusu five years to accomplish all this.

This was still in the midst of chaos in Kanto, so such an achievement was quite astonishing.

However, the court officials do not have a deep understanding of this. Their most intuitive feeling now is that the form of the court in the past of Great Qin is about to change.

As Han Xin and others enter Xianyang, these generals and officials who put down the rebellion in Guandong will undoubtedly be promoted and reused.

This has a huge impact on the current situation in the court.

and……

If you really observe the generals and officials who have emerged this time, you will find that many of these people have entered Fusu's affairs office.

There are also the beneficiaries of the Fusu policy.

This also means that it was Fusu who single-handedly created the current world situation, and it was he who single-handedly contributed to the great changes in the court. It's Fusu who shows kindness to me.

These people are now in the limelight, how can they not be grateful to Fusu?

Think of this.

Shi Lu and Tao She glanced at the other courtiers slightly, their expressions cold.

Zhang Cang's expression remained as usual.

I was actually very uneasy in my heart.

Others may be worried that the large number of Guandong officials entering the court will squeeze their power and promotion space, but he is not.

But he always remembered one thing.

Something that was not very noticeable back then, is now very fatal.

At that time, the Ministry of Affairs was founded.

Fusu recruited Xiao He, Liu Ji, Wu Rui and others into the affairs office in his name. In other words, he was kind to Xiao He and others.

In normal times, Zhang Cang would have achieved great success no matter how much he did, but now, Xiao He, Liu Ji, Wu Rui and others have achieved great achievements. Such great achievements are enough to rank in the imperial court.

That's different.

No matter what other courtiers think, Xiao He and others will be considered as belonging to their own faction. Then he, who was originally a lone minister in the court, suddenly turned into a huge faction with many party members.

This is very problematic.

In this way, the more important Xiao He and others are, the more dissatisfied they will be from other courtiers, and they will have no way to argue.

You can't argue either.

If Xiao He and others really showed closeness to him, Zhang Cang could not even imagine what kind of situation he would encounter in the court.

What's more.

If Fusu becomes wary.

He, Zhang Cang, was afraid that he couldn't even cry even if he wanted to.

Zhang Cang took a deep breath.

At some point, white sweat began to overflow from his forehead. When others were not paying attention, he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and sat upright at the table.

But his face became more and more tense and solemn.

high tower.

Fusu scanned the audience indifferently, and he could see the changes in the expressions of all the officials.

He doesn't care what the officials think.

He is even happy to see all kinds of ideas coming from the officials. The emperor's mind lies in balancing the court.

Not long after.

Wei Sheng's voice came loudly.

"Han Xin, the general of the Beiyuan army, Liu Ji, the lieutenant of Peixian County, Xiao He, the prime minister of Sishui County..."

"Ask for a meeting outside the palace."

Fusu said calmly: "Xuan."

After Fusu responded, He Chuan, who was waiting at Fusu's side to deliver the message, also shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has ordered that the ministers who have contributed to the suppression of the rebellion in Guandong should appear in court."

"Your Majesty has an order..."

As seven or eight people passed the news, the news of Fusu's order resounded throughout Xianyang Palace, and all the officials were in awe.

outside the temple.

Wei Sheng had a smile on his face and said with a smile: "Generals and ministers, Your Majesty invites you."

talking.

Take the initiative to reach out and lead a way.

Han Xin was also excited at this moment. Looking at the tall Xianyang Palace, he was also very excited. Han Xin had actually thought about this scene many times.

Just when I actually got here, I couldn't help but be filled with emotion. At this moment, many past scenes appeared in my mind.

When I was young, my family was poor. My father died young and I was dependent on my mother. After my mother died, I couldn't afford the money for her mother's funeral.

even so.

He still chose a high and spacious cemetery for his mother, thinking that in the future, thousands of households would be placed around the cemetery to guard his mother's tomb.

But at that time, I didn’t think so much about it. In the next few years, life became more and more difficult, and I went to my father’s old friend Nanchang Tingting to eat many times. However, as time went by, I was disliked by others, and eventually I became resentful. , and left directly.

Then he never went back.

Since then he has been wandering everywhere.

During the most difficult time, when he almost starved to death under the bridge, it was Piao's mother who gave her food as a gift to keep him alive.

And crotch humiliation.

and many more.

This scene kept emerging in Han Xinxin, and finally it all turned into a firm gaze, and he finally realized his past ambitions.

To succeed!

Han Xing clenched his fist hard, veins popped up in his hand, and then relaxed again. He took a deep breath and strode into Xianyang Palace.

The center of power in this world.

When Han Xin entered the palace, the eyes of other people in the palace moved over. They were still full of curiosity about Han Xin.

A soldier from Kanto.

Less than seven years.

From a nobody, he grew up step by step to a general in charge of an army of 300,000 people. The growth rate was so amazing that he was not weaker than Meng Tian at all, or even surpassed Meng Tian.

Meng Tian was born in the Meng family.

He has a very high starting point, which Han Xin cannot compare to.

And in the past few years, they have also heard rumors about Han Xin. Since Han Xin joined the army, he has been targeting Meng Tian, ​​and even made bold statements about commanding the world's troops.

In the past, everyone thought that Han Xin was talking nonsense, but now, who dares to underestimate this young general?

Even Meng Tian would not dare to look down upon him.

Facing the gazes of the courtiers, Han Xin's eyes flashed with displeasure. He didn't like being looked at so directly, so he subconsciously snorted coldly.

See this.

The officials looked slightly surprised, but they also looked away. After all, he was a victorious general, and it was normal to have arrogance in his heart.

There is only one exception.

Ying Si year.

He also came to this court meeting.

He was also very curious about this general who was highly praised by Ji Heng, so when he got the news, he also took the initiative to ask to come to court.

See you today.

I just feel like it’s well-deserved.

His eyes are like torches, he is high-spirited and full of nobility.

Liu Ji, Xiao He and others entered the palace one after another.

This also attracted the attention of other courtiers, but compared to Han Xin's dazzling appearance, the courtiers were more concerned about the fact that they had entered the affairs office.

Compared with Han Xin's restraint, Liu Ji seemed very relaxed. When the courtiers looked at Liu Ji, Liu Ji also stared at these people curiously.

Not affected at all.

Xiao He looked solemn and had a correct attitude.

I didn't dare to look around at all.

moment.

Fusu smiled and said, "I'm calling you into the palace this time for one thing only."

"Rewards based on merit."

"Great Qin will never be stingy with its meritorious ministers."

"Han Xin listens."

"The general is here." Han Xin said with cupped hands.

"Han Xin, the general of the Qin Dynasty, led the army with meritorious service. He surrendered Zang Tu, killed Chen Yu, killed Zhao Xie, pacified the three Jin Dynasties, established the Qi territory, destroyed Xiang Ji, granted two thousand Huai soldiers, and rewarded ten thousand gold."

"Liu Ji, the county lieutenant of Peixian County, is in Andang County. He has won the hearts of the people. He defeated the rebels in succession. He has a good defense and effective policies. He has granted Peixian County the title of 1,000 households and a reward of 5,000 gold."
