Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 699: Simple and crude (520 happy!)
Zhang Cang added:

"Your Majesty is moving one hundred thousand strong men, which is not a small number. And if you only move one hundred thousand strong men, it will bring new problems."

Zhang Han replied:

"The number of [-] strong men must be registered, and their families can also follow. The land in the river basin is fertile, but now the land is barren, you might as well move [-] households."

"Zhang Han was the young man next to the late emperor in the past. He was once responsible for handling the migration of people. Now that he is involved in this matter, I don't think there is anything wrong with it. I just don't know what your generals want?"

The second generation looked at the generals.

The generals were all wearing their skins on top, but they were still wearing armor. They were all sitting in the hall, trying to concentrate on listening.

In the empire, the status of most generals plummeted after the reform. Zhang Han became the captain of the guard army, and the clues can already be seen.

The emperor was dealing with government affairs in court, and suddenly asked about the generals, and the generals naturally looked at each other in blank dismay.

General Sima Xin is also in court today.

At this court meeting, all the officials and generals from the old Qin Kingdom came.Ever since they discovered that II had dispersed the army and that he had a large number of imperial troops and prisoner troops in his hands, the soldiers had all behaved extremely obediently towards II.

I came here today not to compete with the civil servants, but to show my loyalty to Qin to the emperor.Joining the army made many generals feel uneasy.

The second generation suddenly asked, and everyone's waist straightened up.However, those who came today were all small characters, and the number of soldiers and horses they brought did not exceed [-].

Meng Tian became the censor, Zhang Han was a polished commander, and the only one who could be considered a general in the court today was Sima Xin.

Sima Xin had served the late emperor for so long, how could he not understand the second emperor's thoughts?This matter of migrating and mobilizing the people is not something that civil servants can do. It requires the power of the army.

"Your Majesty, I think this move will be beneficial to the empire. Not only do we need to move the people from Jiangdong to Shanxi, but we also need to move the people from the old Wei Dynasty back to Shanxi. These people from the old Wei Dynasty are Liang people, living near the river and farming for generations. But later on, the Liang Kingdom became weak, so it changed its name and moved to Hanoi. Now, Your Majesty can be merciful and move the people of the old Wei back."

"As far as the general knows, the area at the junction of Qi and Chu has always been a mixture of dragons and snakes. If Your Majesty really wants to move, all the people in this area will be moved to Guanxi. Guanxi is irrigated by big rivers and the land is fertile. These people will definitely be happy to live in peace. Kansai; in addition, bringing them to Kansai will also facilitate military control."

The second thought that this method was very good, simple, crude and effective.At least the dragons and snakes in Osawa Township can capture Kansai together. As long as they are not hungry, they will not rebel.

But there are drawbacks to this.

"Moving 40 families to Kansai will bring at least 20 people to Kansai, but there are only [-] elite soldiers guarding Kansai."

Li Xin bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, Guanxi is adjacent to Longxi, and there are still 20 good soldiers in Longxi. The military fields previously cultivated need to be reclaimed by the army. Now that His Majesty the Emperor wants to move here, do you want to consider expanding the army?"

These soldiers all lowered their heads, you look at me, I look at you.

What Li Xin said is very inconsistent with the empire's national policy of cultivating one's health.

"If all the men in a country are allowed to farm and raise silkworms, it is a good idea, but over time, will the country's strength really not fade away? As far as I know, no matter how powerful the army is, it will not last for ten or 20 years. , will become old and decayed. Time never waits for anyone. A strong country should pay attention to etiquette, but the construction of the army must not be relaxed. "

"I support your majesty to immigrate to Kansai, but I also want to ask your majesty to take this opportunity to enrich the strength of the army. 14 years ago, most of the elites in the Qin army should have enjoyed family happiness at home, but they still have to It’s really wrong to force them to be called elites and let them defend outside. If Yi Di invades, these soldiers will definitely be defeated soon.”

Meng Tian couldn't help but said:

"Your Majesty, I also agree with what Champion Hou said. The world should recuperate and fight should be abolished. However, the strength of the country should also depend on the construction of the army. The empire's army does need to be replaced. Maybe it won't be needed within the next five years. to the army, but five years later, the Qiang people in the east, the Hu people in the north, and the Miao barbarians in the south. They are all eyeing the geomantic treasures of the Central Plains. If they only focus on recuperation but relax their guard, they will not be easily invaded by the barbarians. ."

The second generation sits upright:

"I have other plans regarding the army. But according to what everyone said today, the strength of the empire's army has declined. This is exactly the same as the news reported to me by General Zhao Tuo a few days ago. The Great Court Meeting is different from the Small Court Meeting. Let you The purpose of coming here is to brainstorm and prepare for a rainy day. What you all say today is for the future of the empire. I think that on the one hand, this army will release people to return to the fields, and on the other hand, it will recruit new soldiers into the camp."

"I have decided to call back Zhao Tuo's army stationed in Jiangdong and let them all return to Guanzhong. What do you think?"

Feng Jie, who had been silent for several months, suddenly stood up on this matter:

"Your Majesty, I thought that Your Majesty should have done this a long time ago. At the beginning of the major repairs of the empire, the purpose was to station troops in the pass. Once there was trouble in the frontier, the imperial army would be able to wipe out the rebel forces within a month. But now I see In the world, Guanzhong is the most exhausted place. On the other hand, Jiangdong and Qilu are far away from Guanzhong, but the population is thriving and their strength is still there. The 30 army is no longer what it used to be, and it is okay to call it back now. Reunite their families."

The Prime Minister's son is different after all, he knows many secrets and important matters.

As soon as this matter was mentioned publicly in court, the Montessori brothers immediately felt that something was wrong.

What is your motive for openly telling the key to the empire in court?

Naturally, the second generation also trembled slightly, but Feng Jie lowered his head, looking at his behavior, he was very respectful.

When the other courtiers heard this, they all watched the show.

Some people seem to know nothing, but in fact they are like a mirror in their hearts, they just try their best to pretend not to offend you.

Even Chun Yuyue was shocked. Can this be said in public?
The Yan Guan who was recording on one side also shook the pen in his hand and accidentally soiled a whole piece of paper.

The Second Emperor actually smiled in front of Manchao Wenwu and shook his forehead.

In front of everyone, the second generation stood up on the stage, then took two steps and said to Feng Jie:
"As expected of the son of Prime Minister Feng, he knows everything about the empire's affairs."
