Kyushu: Prince Qin, his understanding is against the sky!

Chapter 138 I have made up my mind!
The huge Zhangtai Palace hall looked like a vegetable market at this time.

Chattering, chattering!
The princes are usually top dignitaries.

Although he is not as good as Ying Zheng, his joy and anger are indistinguishable.

But they also had dead-skinned faces, and basically no expression could be seen on their faces.

But at the moment.

Everyone's expressions were almost the same, extremely horrified.

Thousands of miles long, city wall!

This is too exaggerated!
At this moment.

Even the generals who don't know much about these government affairs understand the meaning of the Great Wall.

In fact, as military generals, they understand things like city walls better.

The city wall has been indestructible since ancient times.

If so, building dozens of city walls in the northern part of the Qin Dynasty will definitely make the north extremely strong.

Guarding the Huns is a simple matter.

Of course, facing Beiyuan, a dozen city walls are simply not enough.

But if so, what about the Great Wall?
A super-long city wall that is thousands of miles long.

This!
You can really use this to fight against Kitahara!
The generals' hearts were filled with horror, and then, with passion!
They all thought of the importance of building the Great Wall.

Once the Great Wall is built, Da Qin will no longer be afraid of the power of Beiyuan.

After that, Great Qin can concentrate on dealing with other dynasties in the Nine Provinces.

It can be said that the construction of the Great Wall paved the way for the Qin Dynasty to unify the nine states in the future.

All the generals looked excited.

Veteran Wang Jian's face turned red, and he felt so unstable for the first time in today's court meeting.

He stood up and bowed deeply to Ying Zheng on the stage.

"Your Majesty, veteran, I agree with your Majesty's proposal to build the Great Wall!"

When Wang Jian opened his mouth, it was a big deal.

He is the leader of the generals and often represents the opinions of all the generals.

All the military generals stood up and agreed to build the Great Wall.

However, in the eyes of the civil servants, this scene made their eyes twitch.

Many people cursed in their hearts.

"You bunch of vulgar warriors, you agree with me, you agree with me!"

Li Si took a step forward, looked at Ying Zheng hurriedly and said.

"Your Majesty, please think twice about this matter!"

After saying that, without waiting for Ying Zheng's response, he turned to face Wang Jian and the generals.

"Old General Wang Jian, fellow military attaches, I have a few words, please listen to them."

Wang Jian and others were ready to glare angrily.

Building the Great Wall is a very beneficial thing for the north, but these civil servants want to refuse, which is simply disgusting!
However, since everyone is a big shot in the court, it is natural for them to give the civil servants a chance to speak.

Wang Jian nodded.

"Prime Minister Li, please speak."

Li Si said hurriedly.

"Based on the current construction capabilities of our Great Qin, the cost of building the city wall is about 1.1 meters and one hundred taels of silver.

“Of course, this is a city wall that must be at least ten meters high.

"And if we build the Great Wall of the North, we naturally don't need such a high wall. We only need a wall of about ten meters. In some places, it will even be lower.

“However, the construction cost per meter is at least 50 taels of silver.

"After all, the Great Wall, which is 50 meters long, is worth [-] taels of silver.

"The Great Wall requires at least [-] million taels of silver, not counting the labor costs and the impact caused by the construction of the Great Wall.

"And if we take everything into account, we want to build the Great Wall that is ideal in His Majesty's mind.

"The cost is at least one billion taels of silver!"

Li Si said, he was shocked.

After listening to his words, the military commander stopped talking.

For the first time, they realized how much it would cost to build the Great Wall.

One billion taels of silver!

How much is Da Qin’s fiscal and tax revenue now?

Before the unification of the six countries, there was less than [-] million taels of silver every year.

Things are better now. After unifying the six countries, taxation has risen to a great level.

In the middle of this year, the tax revenue will be [-] million taels of silver, which is not a problem.

But with these two hundred million taels of silver, how much needs to be done?

First, support the black dragon's heavy soldiers.

Black Dragon heavy soldiers need 1000 million taels of silver to train every month.

One year later, 2000 taels of silver were gone.

As for the rest, Da Qin still has 200 million troops, and it is still expanding its army all the time.

This is another huge expense.

In addition to these, there are various other places where money needs to be spent.

Money is needed everywhere.

With the current state of Great Qin, it is unable to make ends meet.

Why build the Great Wall?

The civil servants wailed in their hearts.

Wang Jian and other generals also fully realized the difficulty of building the Great Wall.

The cost is simply too great.

One billion taels of silver.

Even the Tang Dynasty, the most powerful dynasty in Kyushu, had an annual tax revenue of one billion taels of silver.

However, it was not easy for the Tang Dynasty to raise one billion taels of silver to build the Great Wall, right?

Not even two or three years is possible.

On the Great Qin side, even if a trade route with the Tang Dynasty is opened soon, the economy can rise to a big level.

But building the Great Wall is almost a dream.

On the high platform, Ying Zheng fell into silence while listening to Li Si's analysis.

Before, he only thought of the benefits of building the Great Wall.

Of course, as an emperor, Ying Zheng naturally had an overall view and could think of the difficulties of building the Great Wall.

However, Ying Zheng did not calculate carefully.

Now listening to Li Si's detailed calculation, one billion taels of silver, even Ying Zheng was a little shocked.

However, building the Great Wall was something that had to be done, and no one could stop him.

With the Great Wall, the north of Da Qin will be as stable as Mount Tai.

Without the Great Wall, Da Qin would have been constrained by Beiyuan from now on. Why would it want to unify the nine states?
Therefore, these one billion taels of silver have to be spent no matter what.

However, where to find the money?
At this moment.

Even Ying Zheng, the first emperor of the ages, fell into silence.

He didn't know where to find the one billion taels of silver.

In the court, all the civil servants once again objected in unison.

Even Han Fei didn't speak at this time.

Although he also knew the benefits of building the Great Wall.

But in comparison, the cost is too high.

This is simply not something Da Qin can bear now.

Han Fei is a great master of Legalism and the most rational.

Therefore, although we know that building the Great Wall is an eternal plan.

But facing Da Qin's difficult situation at this time, he still couldn't open his mouth to support it.

The generals even fell silent.

Wang Jian and others also stopped talking.

Because, this is too difficult.

For the current Da Qin, it is almost impossible.

On the high platform, Ying Zheng scanned the entire Zhangtai Palace.

"Why didn't you speak?"

Ying Zheng's words received no response from anyone.

Everyone lowered their heads in silent protest.

At this time, being an emperor is the most difficult thing to do.

After all, they are outnumbered.

Even an emperor must respect the opinions of his ministers.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel a little shaken in his heart.

Is it too early to build the Great Wall at this time?
but!

Ying Zheng was determined in the end.

He glanced around the court and spoke coldly.

“Building the Great Wall will benefit our country, the Qin Dynasty, forever.

"I have made up my mind, gentlemen, there is no need to say anything.

“The Great Wall is imperative!

"As for the money matter, you and I will take our time and figure it out."

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, the huge Zhangtai Palace hall fell silent for an instant.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and there was silence.The princes looked entangled with each other, but they were helpless.

After all, the relationship between the emperor and the princes is that of monarch and minister.

In this case, the emperor is the one one level above.

If they act rogue, it doesn't matter to you.

This is the benefit of a strong emperor.

At some point, just saying "I have made up my mind" can silence all opposition.

This is what Ying Zheng is like.

With his power, the princes did not dare to remonstrate with him.

Therefore, the matter of building the Great Wall was finally decided.

Although there is one billion taels of silver, Da Qin cannot afford any of it now.

However, the matter was still settled.

Ying Zheng returned to the imperial study, looking very sad.

Where can I get this money?
Fight against the Qing Dynasty?

Although the Qing Dynasty can make some money, the most that the Qing Dynasty can get is two to three hundred million taels of silver, and it may be in installments, which is not enough at all.

Ying Zheng, it is really difficult for an ordinary man to make a meal without rice at this time.

With Qian Donkey at his wits end, Ying Zheng couldn't help but summon Zhang Han to communicate with Ying Zixiu again.

There was no other way, he was in trouble and had no choice but to ask Ying Zi for help.

Anyway, Ying Zixiu was also involved in the idea of ​​building the Great Wall.

He wanted to hear if Ying Zixiu had any solutions.

To be a king, one does not need to have much ability, but one must be able to employ people.

Ying Zheng felt that this was how Ying Zixiu used it.

Three days later, Hanwu City.

In the courtyard of the Qin Mansion, Ying Zixiu was stunned when he looked at the handwriting of Ying Zheng in front of him.

Zhang Liang and Zhuge Liang beside him also had complicated faces.

This handwritten letter from Ying Zheng is the longest handwritten letter in this period of time.

It’s more than 500 words, but it can be summed up to mean the same thing.

To build the Great Wall, Da Qin had no money.

Ying Zheng had no choice but to find Ying Zixiu.

Ying Zixiu put down his handwriting and rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little headache.

One billion taels of silver, even this has no clue to him.

Zhang Liang and Zhuge Liang, the two advisers, were thinking rapidly.

However, they couldn't think of any feasible solution.

If they attacked the Qing Dynasty during the Spring War, the Qing Dynasty would have to pay compensation of about one billion taels of silver at most.

This is the limit of the Qing Dynasty.

What Da Qin could divide among them was only two to three hundred million taels of silver, and it was still in installments.

Of course, building the Great Wall is also a long-term matter, and the money from the Qing Dynasty can be included in it.

But this is only two to three hundred million, less than one third.

There are more than two-thirds left, where can I find them?
The two thought of the trade route between Great Qin and Great Tang.

Once the trade road is opened, it will put Daqin on the road to rapid economic development.

This can also bring endless wealth to Da Qin.

However, no matter how prosperous the trade road is in the future, it will be limited.

At most, it can create a wealth of [-] million taels of silver per year for Da Qin in the future. This is the limit.

After all, it was just a trade road between Great Qin and Great Tang.

Rather than the trade routes of all the dynasties in Da Qin and Kyushu.

Therefore, the Qing Dynasty and the Trade Road were able to collect one-third of the money to build the Great Wall.

Plus some taxes, it should be barely half the money.

However, what about the remaining [-] million taels of silver?

Where to do it!

Ying Zixiu's face twisted together.

Nothing has ever made him so worried.

It's really a penny that stumps a heroic man.

Ying Zixiu does have some money.

Moutai is now the national liquor of the Qin Dynasty and can bring him a lot of income.

In addition to the iron smelting process and horseshoes and other horse equipment traded with Beiyuan, these are all income.

However, he also has a lot of money to spend here.

Can the Snow Dragon Cavalry be built?

Isn’t it time to cultivate good war horses?

The Snow Dragon Riders alone had already asked Ying Zixiu to open the floodgates and release the water, making them unable to make ends meet.

There is no way to support the construction of the Great Wall.

However, Ying Zixiu understood it from beginning to end.

Building the Great Wall is an eternal plan and will benefit the long-term and long-term affairs of the Qin Dynasty.

With the Great Wall, Da Qin will be as stable as Mount Tai. It will develop steadily in the future and at least become the strongest dynasty in Kyushu.

Unifying the nine states is not a dream.

Ying Zixiu was determined and finally looked at Zhang Liang.

"Zifang, please reply to His Majesty.

"Just say, I will figure out a solution regarding the money."

Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Ying Zixiu would directly take this matter on himself.

Ying Zixiu, what can you do with the remaining [-] million taels of silver?
Zhuge Liang didn't understand either.

His advisers are incredible, and he will definitely be very good in business.

But what kind of business can you raise so much money?
Zhang Liang finally sighed and nodded complicatedly.

"Yes, Your Highness Ninth Young Master."

The news quickly spread back to Da Qin.

In the imperial study room of Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when he received Ying Zixiu's response.

He is Ying Zixiu's great teammate, and Ying Zixiu is also his great teammate.

Look, when Ying Zheng had a problem, Ying Zixiu said he could solve it.

This relieved him.

However, where can Ying Zixiu get [-] million taels of silver?

Ying Zheng was filled with incomprehension.

On the other side, Ying Zixiu had already hurriedly set off for Wei.

With the construction of the Great Wall on the agenda, the trade route naturally needs to be opened as soon as possible.

Going to Wei has been delayed for so long, so it's time for him to go.

Ying Zixiu took Wang Li and Zhuge Liang and rushed to Wei.

The remaining Zhang Liang and Xue Rengui stayed in Hanwucheng.

Ying Zixiu opened the defense formation of Hanwucheng. Even without his control, ordinary people could not get in.

On this trip, there was an unexpected visitor.

That is Zhu Di, King of Yan.

Zhu Di never left Hanwucheng during this period.

Instead, he would meet Ying Zixiu for a drink from time to time to cultivate feelings.

It seemed that he really took this matter as a priority.

Ying Zixiu also admired Zhu Di, and Zhu Di also made him feel very comfortable.

After going back and forth, the two became brothers, and their relationship gradually deepened.

Zhu Di's carriage was walking next to Ying Zixiu, when the two opened the curtains.

Zhu Di asked curiously.

"Brother Zixiu, aren't you in a hurry to go to Wei?
"Why do you want to go suddenly this time?"

Zhu Di was very confused.

He had previously asked Ying Zixiu when he was going to Wei.

Ying Zixiu said there was no rush and he would rest in Hanwucheng for a while.

Why did you suddenly say you were going to Hanwucheng?
On the black bicycle frame, Ying Zixiu smiled bitterly.

If it weren't for the pressure, who would work hard?

He sighed and shook his head.

"The one in Xianyang is already a little dissatisfied with me."

Ying Zixiu still pretended that he had a bad relationship with Ying Zheng.

When Zhu Di heard this, even if Ying Zixiu just pointed it out, he still understood the meaning of his words.

Zhu Di had a look of understanding on his face, and then he shook his head sadly.

"Oh, what a hardship, brother Zixiu. If you were in the Ming Dynasty..."

Zhu Di didn't say the last half of his sentence.

Because Ying Zixiu will be in the Ming Dynasty, he will have no chance of taking that position.

There is no hope now.

Add in the monster Ying Zixiu...

Zhu Di simply couldn't imagine such a scene...
