Chapter 1094

"No, what your majesty said is wrong!"

Hearing this, Prime Minister Jiang Wan shook his head. He looked at Duke Qin Yingfei and said, "In the territory of Qin State, there is another road that is the Straight Road, which was built by the First Emperor to use the Xiongnu army."

"During the Great Qin Empire, after the Qin army attacked the Xiongnu and occupied the Hetao area, Jiuyuan became an important border defense area of ​​the empire, with heavy troops stationed there for many years."

"In the 35th year of the First Emperor, General Meng Tian was ordered to build a straight road connecting Jiuyuan and Xianyang. The straight road started from Ganquan Palace in the northern suburb of Xianyang, walked through Ziwu Ridge, crossed the whole territory of Bingzhou, and arrived at Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County. The total length is more than [-] inside."

Following the movement of the wooden stick, Duke Qin Yingfei heard Jiang Wan's sonorous and forceful voice, saying, "At the same time, after Emperor Shi Huang unified the world, he will connect Qin, Zhao, and the Great Wall of Yan to build a new line of defense in northern Xinjiang."

"From Lintao in the west to Liaodong in the east, it stretches for thousands of miles. Due to the needs of construction and defense, a military main road was built along the Great Wall that runs through the east and west, and became the northern road."

……

Hearing Jiang Wan's words, Qin Gong Yingfei's eyes kept lingering in the direction of Wuyuan County.At this moment, some thoughts in his mind were finally no longer intermittent, but formed a thread.

"Prime Minister, have the people in our country not had any farming work or labor since the beginning of winter?"

……

Hearing this, Jiang Wan's eyes flashed, and at this moment he somewhat understood Qin Gong Yingfei's plan, he was going to recruit civilian husbands to rebuild Chi Dao.

Thoughts flickered in his mind, Jiang Wan didn't expect that his eloquent talk would actually become the sword in Qin Gong Yingfei's hand. At this moment, he had to admit how powerful Qin Gong Yingfei was.

Using other people's words and his own ideas, Qin Gong Yingfei has already become extraordinary, and his imperial power is close to that of Qin Huang and Han Wu.

After thinking up to this point, Jiang Wan said without hesitation, "My lord, Qin has been at war for so many years that the common people have nothing but regular labor."

……

"Ah."

Nodding his head, Qin Gong Yingfei's thoughts flickered, he knew the fate of abusing people's power, like Qin Shihuang, Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty and other unrivaled emperors fell to the altar because of abusing people's power, let alone a small self.

Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Duke Qin Yingfei looked at Jiang Wan and said, "Prime Minister, based on the current situation of the Qin State, how many civilians should be conscripted to do hard labor alone, so as not to damage the foundation of the country?"

……

Hearing this, Prime Minister Jiang Wan's eyes changed slightly, and after a long time of silent calculations, he said to Duke Qin Yingfei.

"Your Majesty, the Qin State now has Han, Liang, Bing, and Yizhou. There are 300 million people in the Qin State. Excluding the old and weak, women and children, there are about 500 million young and strong."

"Excluding the army and the manpower for farming in the coming year, our country can only recruit a million people to serve at the maximum."

……

"Ah."

Slightly nodding his head, Qin Gong Yingfei calculated the gains and losses in his heart, his eyes wandered on the map of Bingzhou, and said.

"Prime Minister, in your opinion, if Qin Zhidao is recast alone, how many civilians will be conscripted at one time?"

……

As soon as Qin Gong Yingfei said these words, not only the prime minister Jiang Wan fell silent, but even the Taiwei Xu Shu and military advisor Guo Jia who had been onlookers were shocked.

Conscripting civilian husbands is a double-edged sword.If it is used well, it will benefit the country and the people, but if it is not used well, it will kill the Lord if you are not careful.

In particular, the Qin State has not yet been unified. Once the large-scale recruitment of civilian husbands is inevitable, the pressure of public opinion will instantly sweep across the four prefectures of the Qin State and point the finger at the imperial court.

Millions of people, this scale is too big.We must know that when the first emperor built the Lishan Mausoleum, he only confiscated 70 yuan, which shocked the world in the Battle of Changping, and King Qin Zhao only mobilized a million people to transport food.

……

"Your Majesty, conscripting millions of civilians to serve in the military at one time may arouse resistance among the people. I think it is not appropriate to recruit too many civilians this time."

……

Taking a deep look at Taiwei Xu Shu, Qin Gong Yingfei's tiger eyes flashed a touch of relief. He understood Xu Shu's worries, and even more understood the pressure to bear in doing so.

Once something happens, it will inevitably make people in the world turn against each other.It's just that he has a way to solve it, so he insists on going his own way.

……

"The total length of the straight road is more than 500 meters. If you want not to delay the cultivation of next spring, you must trade the quantity for time. There is no other way."

Although Qin Gong Yingfei knew that Taiwei Xu Shu had good intentions, he still shook his head and vetoed it. This matter is related to the use of troops against Xianbei aliens in the future, and must be dealt with as soon as possible.

Otherwise, next winter, when the Xianbei alien race goes south, I will be helpless as I am today, watching my people being slaughtered and helpless.

……

"Prime Minister."

"The minister is here."

Glancing at Jiang Wan, Qin Gong Yingfei's eyes flickered, and said: "According to your words, spread the news that the Xianbei aliens are divided into three routes and go south to Qin, and the prime minister will publish a document to guide the people's hatred towards the Xianbei aliens. "

"The Guhui ordered the Black Ice Platform to assist, and strive to spread it throughout the country in the shortest possible time, and then make an announcement to the world. I want to recruit millions of people and rebuild the straight road."

"The civilian husbands conscripted this time will be exempted from three-year hard labor. Similarly, those who have only one strong man in the family will not be accepted, and those who have two brothers will choose one of them."

"promise."

……

Hearing Qin Gong Yingfei's order, the military advisor Guo Jia and Taiwei Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief. With the common hatred of the people, the resistance will be much smaller if they take advantage of the situation to enlist the people.

What's more, with the selection conditions and the temptation to be exempted from three-year hard labor, this will make the people of the Qin State actively participate and regard this service as a blessing.

……

After a moment of silence, Duke Qin Yingfei's eyes flickered, and he turned to Prime Minister Jiang Wan and the three of them, and said, "The project of recasting straight roads has a lot to do with millions of people, and quality and speed need to be ensured. recommend?"

One person shoulders a million labors, and has the quality and speed of the straight road. This person must be outstanding in ability, loyal to Qin, and not corrupt and pervert the law.

Today's Qin State is not the Great Qin Empire that plundered all the jewels of the six countries. Qin Gong Yingfei doesn't have so much money to spend, he is not as wealthy as Qin Shihuang.

This time to recast the straight road, not only to ensure the quality and speed, but also to save money and learn to budget carefully.

Moreover, this person also needs to have a certain amount of research on Qin Zhidao, which is not something that just anyone can do.

……

Facing Duke Qin Yingfei's inquiry, the three of them were silent for a while, and for a while, they couldn't think of who to send as the supervisor.

……

"Your Majesty, there are no good candidates for ministers and others. If it is impossible, we will recruit talents from all over the world, and then send officials from the court and central government to serve as supervisors."

"Ah."

Nodding his head, Qin Gong Ying Fei had to admit that the military advisor Guo Jia said it was right, Jiang Wan and the three of them were all suitable, but they were the third princes of the Qin State, so they couldn't do everything.

……

"Since this is the case, according to what the military adviser said, the candidate will be decided by the court tomorrow."

……

 Cough cough, I'm too tired, I'm eating a bowl of instant noodles and taking medicine.Let's see, it is estimated that there will be two updates recently.
