Country and Beauty

Seeing the emperor's anger, the court officials' expressions changed. The generals of the military usually didn't have much to say, so they stood in the hall and didn't say anything. They hoped that a war would break out, and they hoped that they would be able to show their prowess. When they saw the Emperor's fury, they knew that whenever the Emperor was angered, there would be people that would be harmed and the army would be mobilized. This was the opportunity for them to rise to the rank of an official and make a fortune.

As someone who held the Great Qin Empire's money and food, he knew the way of the Qin State more than anyone else. Although there was still over three million and two hundred thousand taels of silver in the national treasury, the learning of water and construction of roads required a total of more than one million and three hundred thousand taels of silver, and the remaining several hundred thousand taels of silver, in addition to having to pay the salaries of six hundred thousand Qin Army's soldiers and more than twenty thousand Qin State's officials, meant that they had more than enough meat and wolves to begin the war again.

The treatment of the soldiers of the Qin State was originally high. With the war subsidy, death penalty, and food consumption, it was another huge expense. Helplessly, Xie Kun could only shake his head and smile bitterly. Although Xie Kun knew that Xie Fei would not necessarily listen to his advice at this time, as a loyal subject, a relative of the Great Qin Sect, and the only high-ranking official of the Schell's s, he still stood up and said straightforwardly, "Your Majesty, the imperial government cannot afford to pay such a large sum of money. The Emperor also knew that since last year, the imperial government had used silver … Buying land in the hereditary valve, providing seeds and farming tools for the masses of people. Qin State's foundation is too thin, and their income has always been insufficient to meet the expenses. "

Ever since Xie Fei was removed from office, he realized that there was a shortage of talents. In order to change this situation, he had to nurture a lot of talents without sparing any effort. The study of silver cannot stop, and the road and water conservancy are major events for the people, nor can they stop. The Emperor was not short of soldiers who had starved to death and had no military pay, so he had to say a few words about the rise and fall of the country. It might be possible for the soldiers to protect the nation and pacify the land. However, if they were to travel thousands of miles to explore the Korean Peninsula, how could they have that kind of awareness? There were soldiers who had families to support as well, and if they themselves did not have enough to eat, their families would not be able to eat.

Xie Fei thought for a long time, but still could not come up with a solution. He looked at Wang Meng's calm and composed appearance and asked, "Jing Siniang, what kind of brilliant plan would that be?"

Wang Meng said: "Your majesty, right now the Qin State is unable to draw out their troops to go to war. Although the s of the various provinces have temporarily stopped fighting and have not made any movements, but the Emperor's actions are to cut off their privileges and destroy their path of survival. If they did not use the regular army of the Qin Army and instead called the Guard to battle, there would be no guarantee of combat power and it would affect the business and production situation in different places. Furthermore, all the officials from all over the place are still empty, if we were to delay production this year, the situation might not turn good for Qin State! "

Xie Fei stood up and walked back and forth. The terrain of the Korean Peninsula is complicated, the cavalry's advantage cannot be used. Not only are the roads of different regions narrow, they are also easy to defend and hard to attack, and compared to the difficulty of Shu Dao, they are not weak at all, even for the infantry soldiers it is hard to win. "

Actually, there had always been a shadow in Xie Fei's heart. The first month of the eighth year of Sui Datong (612 AD) ended in September of the same year. The emperor of Sui Yang led more than a million troops, divided into left and right side of the army of 24, water and land side by side, close to the capital of Gaoli, Pyongyang. Gao Lijun used the stratagem of swindling to induce the Sui army to advance eastward, and attacked the Sui army half-way through Sa Shui. The Sui army lost miserably. Less than fifty thousand people had returned to the Liaodong. It was because of the failure of the eastern expedition that this great empire of the Sui Dynasty fell into a collapse. Whether it was the Han Dynasty's Yang Liang, the Great General Wang Shiji, or the Left Tun Guard's Great General, Mai Tie, they had all been through hundreds of battles and were excellent generals in that era. However, they were defeated by Gao Li, and although there was a portion of the underestimating factor, the most important reason was that the high beauty terrain was not easy to defend, it was a small and inconspicuous mountain, where there were tens or even hundreds of people. Even if one had a great army, one would have to pay ten or even dozens of times the price to fight it.

Xie Fei had already calmed down and laughed bitterly: "I know that Qin State is having a hard time right now, sigh! Why did so many things come together? If you give me a few years, just three years … In three years, the situation of the imperial government must have been vastly different. "Now..."

Wang Meng knew the big picture even better than Xie Fei. Ever since the battle at rami cordis, Qin and Murong Tribe had reached an irreconcilable dead end. However, Murong Tribe was like a cockroach who couldn't be defeated, losing battles and rising up again and again. It wouldn't be long before they could completely unite Korean Peninsula, and it wouldn't be three to five years before they could recover their strength. Logically speaking, if they were to send troops now to eliminate Yan State, they would be able to do so once and for all.

Wang Meng supported the fight between Xie Fei and Yan State, but he did not have the money or food.

At this point, the court officials were whispering to each other. Xie Kun didn't want Xie Fei to do anything to the Korean Peninsula. If it was Jiangnan, then he would have to do it even if he had to tighten his belt. But as for what the Korean Peninsula had, he couldn't talk about farming or grazing. At this time, Xie Kun had a plan, he said to the Minister of Rites, Pei Xian: "Master Pei, the Emperor has already approved for your education grant, after you leave, go and gather some silver from the yamen, 1,300,000 silver will be transferred to the Ministry of Rites in three days' time."

Hearing that, Pei Xian raised his eyebrows and laughed, bowing and bowing to Xie Kun. "Why doesn't Pei Xian understand what you mean? This is to force the Emperor to give up the idea of going out to battle, no matter what, he is only in charge of the buildings in the Three School, it will be easier to do business once he has the money." Thank you, my lord! "

Xie Kun did not bother with Pei Xian's change in attitude. He turned to the Minister of Industry, Pang Ze and said: "Mighty one, the Emperor has approved of your work fees. Hurry and withdraw from now on, go to the Ministry of Revenue's yamen for your work!"

At this time, Xie Kun heaved a sigh of relief. He was secretly pleased. Look, I've already given the money out. If you don't have the money, what are you fighting for!

Wang Meng said, "Your Majesty, your subject has a plan that might work!"

Xie Fei said: "Feel free to speak!"

"Transfer troops!"

Xie Fei frowned: "The Guard is useless, the regular soldiers cannot be called out, what kind of soldiers are we sending out?"

Wang Meng laughed, "We will neither transfer the regular army nor the Guard s, but we will transfer the Tu Clan Wolf Soldiers. Bashu, Jing Prefecture had dozens of Miao, Zhuang, Li, and Tu Clans. There were wolf soldiers in each clan, and these minorities were valiant. They were used to fighting in mountains, jungle, and ponds, and all of them were born hunters. Wandering ambushes have its own tricks. If these earth soldiers were deployed here, it would reduce the number of officers conscripted. What does the Emperor think? "

Xie Fei was happy: "Indeed, it's not bad. This is a good plan, but we can't take out any silver right now! However, the leaders of these tribes are not easy to deal with. How could they leave the tribe? Even if I use a compulsory order, they would probably use some old, weak, and handicapped people to fool me! "

Wang Meng said, "These tribal leaders are all greedy people. They only recognize money as money. If the Emperor were to use money to hire these Tu Clan wolves, their leader would agree. Moreover, these leaders only want money, so it's not difficult to get rid of them."

Using it for profit, and only using enough money to make them obey us. Xie Fei was a little moved, it was just like how the mercenaries of the later generation did not care about righteousness and justice, their boss was just money, whoever paid the boss would be the boss, whoever the boss asked them to beat up would be the boss. As long as they had enough money, they would dare to do it even if it meant killing the White House. Xie Fei said: "Yes or no, it's just that the difficulty is quite high, we are a pauper now!"

"I have come up with a plan. Don't worry, your majesty. I, Rong Chen, will think it through slowly. I will definitely come up with a plan to deal with it!" Wang Meng said: "To these tribal leaders who are subordinate to the Great Qin, they are above the laws of the Great Qin, like emperors of the same region. To them, the warriors of the tribe are their private property. If you want to change this situation, you can only consciously induce them to do business, work in agriculture, work as a labourer, and also advise their children to go to the families to study, allowing them to integrate with the Han people. This way, there will no longer be any Zhuang, Li, and Miao races, and they will all be Han people. "

Xie Fei knew that these were all unstable factors, so why didn't these tribe leaders rebel in the future? Xie Fei started to understand a little, partly because these leaders of the tribes could not open their courts privately, and all rules of conduct were law. If the people of the tribe were to commit crimes, the state would punish them, and without the privilege to deter the tribe members, the leaders of the tribes would no longer have a cohesive force. The tribe was only a nominal existence. In addition, when natural and man-made disasters occurred, the state would provide disaster relief. From then on, it was not the tribal leaders who felt grateful, but the country.

Xie Fei said: "Jing Shu is saying, as long as we give enough benefits, these Tu Clan wolves will submit to us?"

Wang Meng said, "Indeed!"

In the time it took for a spark to fly off a piece of flint, a rough outline of the formation had already appeared in Xie Fei's mind. It was to use money and benefits to tempt these young and strong minorities, making them mercenaries that were only loyal to Xie Fei. These mercenaries could not be used in the war against the Jin State, as long as they could use war to sustain themselves in the outside world. Survival.

From then on, not only did Xie Fei have a new army that could wage war on the outside, using war to speed up the economic development of the Qin State, at the same time, it could soften the influence of the leaders of the minority tribes, pacify the unstable elements within, and ultimately assimilate the minority nationalities. Not only ethnic minorities, but also other strange beards. Wang Meng simply proposed a plan that would take three birds with one stone.

Right at this moment, Chunyu Ding at the bottom spoke, "The Emperor's official has a song!"

Chunyu was definitely Sima Bao's advisor, and was not famous in history. Xie Fei had only used him as an example to become a good man and bestowed him the title of Nine Sons, which could be considered as a reprint of how much money he had spent to buy a horse bone.

Xie Fei said indifferently: "Accurate!"

Chunyu declared: "This subject received the envoy of the Founan State a month ago, and the Founan State became the vassal again. It means "mountain." The territory is now about Cambodia, as well as southern Laos, southern Vietnam and southeastern Thailand. The emissary had bought a large number of handicrafts and wooden carvings in Chang'an, which he said must be loved by the nobles of the south. It's just that the distance between the land and the Great Qin is too far, and transportation is inconvenient, if the Emperor ordered the navy to transport a large amount of handicrafts from the sea to the Founan State market, then we could be able to obtain a large amount of gold and silver money in a short half a year.! "

Xie Fei quickly understood Chunyu's intentions. He wanted him to open up the silk road at sea and use his economy to invade the neighboring countries. As for the Founan State, Xie Fei had some impression that this country still had a half-slave, half-primitive society system. Rather than calling it a country, it would be more accurate to call it a larger slave tribe. The Founan State was still in the primitive society of bartering, and without his own coins, he could use gold and silver as coins.

Xie Fei's thoughts started to move. In this era, other than the Roman Empire, which was able to compete with the Qin State in the ocean, there was probably no one else in the entire east who was a match for the Qin State. Now that Zhou Yang already had the experience in the Far Ocean America, it should not be a problem for him to go from sea to sea with the Founan State.

Xie Fei then ordered the Business Division to formulate a plan to open up a trading road at sea, and to send ambassadors to the various minorities to negotiate the cooperation. These things could not be done in a short period of time. What they needed was time.

At the same time, accurate information about the royal guards, the Windy Hall and the three imperial guards's spies had also reached Xie Fei's hands.

Xie Fei finally found out that Murong Ke had actually secretly launched an attack on the rear of the Rou Ran when the allied forces were besieging Chang An, not only had he robbed almost three hundred thousand women and children, these grassland nomadic peoples naturally revered martial arts, in their eyes, it was a matter of course for the weak to tame the strong. In their eyes, the Xianbei member being stronger than them had made them into lowly vassals. Xie Fei also understood that after obtaining these three hundred thousand women, the Murong Tribe would be able to recover in the shortest amount of time possible. It wouldn't take too long, at most twenty years, Murong Tribe would be able to pull the strings of hundreds of thousands of men.

At the same time, Xie Fei also received news that the Yan State was currently recuperating and would not launch any offensive attacks against him for at least five years. With these five years of time, Xie Fei could completely restore the Qin State to the state strength of one of the three nations. Xie Fei was also relieved, he used the Qin Army's navy to open up a trade route for the Founan State. In any case, they were a combination of pirates and merchants during the initial sea exploration. At the same time, Xie Fei ordered Zhou Yang to at least send out a small fleet to investigate the situation of the Pirate State. At the same time, dozens of missions were dispatched to various ethnic minorities from Chang'an.
