Reborn Daqin, I am the emperor

Chapter 812
After Shang Yang's reform, everyone said that the Great Qin was rich, but in fact, the wealthy Great Qin that everyone envied, the soldiers said that there was no military pay.Only after making meritorious deeds slowly and obtaining the title of title can one get the opportunity to eat salary.

Before obtaining the title, almost all of what everyone wore and used came from home.Only weapons are distributed by the state, and food is distributed by the state.

Among them, each soldier only has more than 30 catties and [-] catties of grain per month.

Think about it, soldiers who fight desperately only have so little food every month.

The folks who transported the grain and grass had a difficult journey, and the grain they used was at least five times that of the soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty.

Every sum of this is an expense, and no matter how full the national treasury is, it will not be able to bear it.

Especially in order to attack Baiyue and build the Lingqu, it took a lot of manpower and material resources, just to transport food.

Later, in order to deal with the Xiongnu, Donghu and others built the Great Wall, but also built thousands of kilometers of channels.

This is compared to the highways of later generations. How much manpower and material resources are needed in this age when even iron is not familiar?

These are just the tip of the iceberg consumed during the period of the first emperor, and there are other various roads, water canals, various plank roads comparable to the plank roads in Bashu, and the establishment of the Qinhuang Mausoleum, etc.

This countless consumption is really too much, so much that if you don't pay attention, the whole Daqin will be sucked up.

Faced with such consumption, how can the king continue to waste?
Therefore, for a long time, the kings of Daqin were very frugal, and the subjects were also very frugal.They have completely achieved the pinnacle of the word thrift.

In Ying Shou's hands, what he took over was a dilapidated mess, not to mention squandering, it would be nice to have a bite to eat.

Now, this mess has regained some vitality, but he has more problems to face, and he cannot afford to waste it.

In addition, he doesn't like waste, so his meals can be exquisite or delicious, but never too much.Because there is too much to eat.

Even if sometimes there is too much to eat, he will reward the eunuchs below to prevent waste.

What was placed in front of Ying Shou at the moment was a very simple two dishes and one soup, one fried shredded potato, one fried meat, and one spicy soup.

This seemingly simple meal, in fact, is difficult for ordinary families to enjoy on weekdays.

Ying Shou picked up a bowl of steamed corn rice from crushed corn, put the dishes on the table, and started to eat.

The speed at which he ate was neither fast nor dissatisfied.

His appetite is also very good, Yinyue seems to have measured it specially.

After eating all these meals, I was just full, not too much, not too little.

The palace maid brought mouthwash, Ying Shou had just finished rinsing, someone came to report immediately, saying: "His Majesty the Emperor, Donghu envoy Jun Wuyou has been summoned, and is waiting outside to be summoned!"

Ying Shou nodded and said, "Let him in!"

The guard made a promise, turned and left immediately.

"Take it!"

Yinyue got up, put away the utensils for holding vegetables and rice, and handed it to the maid beside her.

"promise!"

The palace maid responded and left directly with the utensils.

Yinyue came behind Ying Shou and continued to stand quietly.

She knew very well that since the emperor didn't let her leave, even if he wanted her to stay on purpose, she could only stand behind the emperor and listen quietly to the next conversation.

As soon as this side was cleaned up, Jun Wuyou also came from outside the Tianchi Palace under the leadership of the guards on the other side. From a distance, Jun Wuyou hurriedly cupped his hands, and came quickly with his body, walking in front of Ying Shou, Immediately knelt down to pay homage, and said: "Your Majesty Caomin has no worries, I kowtow to His Majesty the Emperor, long live long live Your Majesty!"

With a flash of Ying Shou's eyes, he found that Jun Wuyou was wearing Daqin Central Plains costumes at the moment, with wide sleeves, long clothes, and cross collars.

Not to mention, wearing this suit of clothes on him actually gave off an imposing, gentle and refined feeling, like a refined gentleman.

Seeing that he is young, maybe not as old as himself, but his demeanor is surprising.

In particular, his set of audience etiquette is simply more perfect than that of other great Confucians, without any flaws, as if he himself is a great sage of Confucianism.

"You call yourself a grassroots man and call me my emperor?"

Ying Shou sized Jun Wuyou up and said indifferently.

"Report to His Majesty the Emperor, the Caomin is originally the descendant of Yanhuang, the orthodox bloodline of the Central Plains, His Majesty the Emperor is naturally the emperor of the Caomin, the Caomin ask themselves, there is no disrespect in calling me the Emperor!"

"Furthermore, grassroots people have no official titles or titles in their home country, so of course they can only call themselves grassroots!"

Jun Wuyou threw his body to the ground, bowed his head and said.

"Oh, then have you forgotten your other identity? You are an envoy of Donghu, an important minister of Donghu who dares to show off his power in front of me."

"I've also heard that Mr. Wuyou is even planning a chariot for Donghu, planning to let Donghu and the Xiongnu divide the world of Qin. Is there such a thing?"

Ying Shou pretended to be surprised and said coldly.

"Your Majesty is serious. The grassroots are ordinary people who are born to love fame and fortune. For the sake of fame and fortune, they have indeed made two plans for the Great Qin Dynasty. This is true."

"Furthermore, it is true to say that Cao Min is now an envoy of the Eastern Hu, but if you say that Cao Min is an important minister of the Eastern Hu, this is wronging Cao Min, and I hope His Majesty will strictly investigate!"

Jun Wuyou still lay on the ground, solemnly speaking.

"Even Donghu has accepted your advice. Your status in Donghu is not important enough? Now that you are a minister of Donghu, but you want to call me my emperor, don't you think this is a kind of betrayal to Donghu?"

Ying Shou sneered and said again.

"Your Majesty has said too much. Cao Min is a person who loves fame and fortune, yes, but Cao Min is also a serious businessman."

"Businessmen, with a good reputation to gain profits, sometimes it is unavoidable to bear a bad reputation, but this does not mean that a businessman who bears a bad reputation is not a serious businessman!"

"Caomin asked himself, although he is making suggestions for the enemy country, but in fact, why is he not making suggestions for the emperor of the mother country?"

"Caomin has only one mother country in this life, and only one emperor to whom he can be loyal. Caomin is a layman, and there is nothing wrong with keeping interests in his eyes, but how can Caomin forget to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country?"

"It doesn't matter if others misunderstand Cao Min, but Cao Min believes that His Majesty the Emperor can understand Cao Min!"

Jun Wuyou spoke again, and said solemnly: "Caomin Jun Wuyou, share your worries and solve my emperor's problems!"

Ying Shou's eyes flashed, and this conversation made him breathe a long sigh of relief.

In these words, he got the answer he wanted, and also got the answer that made him feel at ease.

Today in the temple, he just saw Jun Wuyou for the first time, but Ying Shou was very surprised by Jun Wuyou's ability.

When all the officials in the court were angry with Jun Wuyou, he was the only one who felt happy and worried.

The joy is that he likes this Jun Wuyou so much, this Jun Wuyou is simply in line with his requirements.What is worrying is that if this person is used by me, he will definitely help me sweep the world and conquer the world.But once it is used by the enemy, it will definitely become a disaster for the Great Qin and it will be difficult to deal with!
