Country and Beauty

Xie Tian was very nervous inside, he actually knew what he had done. All these years, as Xie Yong grew up, in order to help Xie Yong ascend to the throne, he used the imperial guards to get access to the throne. He secretly controlled about a third of the officials in the Qin State, and more or less, all of them were corrupt, taking bribes, or something like that.

He could not do anything in the future, but in this time and space, he held the authority of the world. Of course, he had to punish the officials severely, and Xie Fei made the emulation of the « Great Clarity Rules » and used sixty silver taels as the standard, as long as the embezzlement exceeded sixty Qin dollars, he would immediately dismiss the official and not use it any further. Thus, Xie Tian was able to easily control a large number of officials. Not only did they have the important positions of the 23rd Department, there was also a large portion of the imperial report officials' vital points were also grasped by Xie Tian because of their lifestyle problems!

Xie Tian knew that if Xie Yong wanted to become the crown prince, he needed to get the recognition of the officials inside and outside the imperial court, so he controlled a portion of the city officials and secretly bribed some of the imperial guards and Chang An guards. No matter what Xie Tian's true intentions were, in reality, he had already crossed Xie Fei's bottom line. Xie Tian knew that Xie Fei's methods, as long as the person who was going against Xie Fei, would never have a good ending!

Now, Xie Fei had given him the title of Grand Marshal of the Persian Kingdom, helping the Persian King to train her army to resist the attacks of the Rebellion and the Roman. At this time, Xie Tian started to worry about his gains and losses. He had already noticed his movements for Xie Fei, and this was a sign that he was going to make a move against him!

"Lord, this is a mess due to your concern!" Zhang Bin drank a cup of general's blood and slowly said, "If His Majesty really knew what the Lord was up to, will he treat him in such a manner?"

Xie Tian's expression could not help but turn grave, and after being silent for a long while he said: "I am the command, and during the process of founding the Qin State, I have contributed greatly in the process. If he were to kill me, it would inevitably cause the meritorious ministers of Qin State to feel a chill in their hearts. A good bow hiding! Your Majesty's reputation is unfavorable! "

"Fame? "Haha!" Zhang Bin almost burst into tears as he said without any hesitation, "Is our emperor someone who cherishes his feathers? Back then, when so many hereditary valve were opposed to His Majesty, what did His Majesty do? Although the Xianbei member is hateful, their old, weak, and children are not at fault, but your majesty, in one rage, has broken seven of the eight tribes. Only the Murong Tribe bloodline is weakened, there is almost no chance for them to rise again! How many people were there in the Qing Bei Clan? Almost three million, right? Three million, and all of them have been killed, is this a person who has scruples for the sake of a mere title? "

Xie Tian was speechless. could not help but frown. Ordinary ethics were always at ease, but in Xie Fei's eyes, they were worth nothing, not even a single cent, so which kind of emperor would not use all kinds of methods to establish their imperial power? On the other hand, Xie Fei, as a Schell's of Chen County, had only obtained two princes, and he had even issued an imperial edict, each generation of titles in the Qin State would be reduced by one, for example, a son of Xie Kun, if he were to inherit Xie Kun's throne in the future, he would lose one rank, become a duke. Not only was he not kind to the royal family, he was deliberately weakening the imperial power. This was something that no emperor would do!

Xie Tian said in a dejected manner, "But why did Your Majesty send me to that place? Our imperial guards has a hundred households there, normally, news would take two years to reach there, no matter how urgent the information is, it would still take more than eight months!"

Zhang Bin said: "Master, you don't even understand this?"

"What?"

"My lord, you are in charge of intelligence, of course you know!" Zhang Bin said, "The vassal states around the region of the Qin State have all grasped the jurisdiction of their vassal states, as well as the security, and also the finances. All of the vassal states are left with only an empty shelf, and each and every one of them are just stratagems, so if there is an appropriate time, the influence of these vassal states' royal families will slowly disappear. As long as there is a chance, His Majesty will definitely let them voluntarily request to be incorporated into the Great Qin, just like the three countries of Gao Juli, and become the true territory of the Great Qin!"

Xie Tian slowly started to understand. "What does Mister mean?"

Zhang Bin said, "Actually, Your Majesty's intention is very obvious. Your Majesty wants to meddle in An Xi and control the majority of the silk road! As for the construction of the railway line from Chang'an to the Wheel Platform, the main economic factor was that the railway line could rapidly send military and strategic goods up there! If His Majesty wants to obtain Central Asia, he must have sufficient military power. The Persian Kingdom is only the first step, using the influence of the Persian Kingdom to attract its citizens to fight against the rebel army and Roman.

With regards to Xie Fei bestowing Ran Min the title of Duke, if he were to say that he was not jealous, that would be a lie! He also knew that Ran Min used his life to exchange for Wang Jue. Although his contribution was huge, it couldn't be compared with Ran Min's. Xie Tian heard that he also had the chance to become a king, and his eyes lit up: "I hope Sir can teach me!"

Zhang Bin said: "Control the Persian army, and let the Persian accept the Great Qin! This matter was difficult at first hand, but easier said than done! Regardless of whether it was Persians or Gladiators, they were all barbarians, not of my race. They all had different hearts, so it was very likely that they would rebel against the Qin State at the most crucial moment. Therefore, if Master wanted to go to Persia, he had to bring enough people with him, although they could not bring tens of thousands of troops, there had to be thousands of officers, and only the officers of the Qin State would be loyal to the Great Qin forever! The Persian army which is controlled by the officers of the Qin State is firmly in the hands of the Lord! "

Xie Tian muttered to himself: "It's indeed so. The number of people cannot be too small, and cannot be used. His Majesty intends to dispatch five thousand elite troops from the Blue Field Battalion, three thousand officers from the National Defense Academy, and two thousand artisans, for a total of ten thousand people to enter Persia! "

"Looks like His Majesty has thought of everything!" Zhang Bin sighed: "It's a pity that this old one is old! "Persia is too far, there is a saying that goes' when the leaves fall back to their roots, the old me also does not wish to go to Persia far away, I hope that the lord can grant my wish!"

Xie Tian looked at Zhang Bin excitedly, and said: "What mister has said, is well within my heart, this action is very good. Having an elder at home was like receiving a treasure. The Second Prince hoped that Mister would take care of him! Your son is already an adult. Let him go with me to Persia this time! so that we can get along in the future! "

Zhang Bin looked at the harmless looking Xie Tian, and had the urge to strangle him to death! But the thought quickly passed, Zhang Bin forced a smile: "My son is young and ignorant, I have brought trouble to Master!"

Just as Xie Tian was peacefully waiting for the battle to begin, the five thousand tiger anger s that Xie Fei had transferred from the Lan Tian Army camp officially became army! Towards this army, Xie Fei officially became the Great Qin's You Yi Army. The reason why Xie Fei gave this name was mainly because Yue Fei's Yue Clan had a total of 12 troops, one of which was called You Yi Army. Actually, Xie Fei did not know that in ancient China, there was a name for You Yi Army, which was specially used to refer to troops patrolling with cavalry.

The President of the Defense Department, Du Ceng, wanted her second son, Du Xuan, to be the commander of the An Yi army, while Xie Kun, who had never cared about the changes in his personnel, asked to see Xie Fei. She was willing to let her son, Xie Shang, be the commander of the An Yi army!

Xie Fei looked at Xie Kun and understood what he meant. He was truly pitiful towards his parents, because Xie Kun was worried that he wouldn't be able to keep the title of prince even after three generations. Xie Kun wanted Xie Shang to go out and earn some military merits. After Xie Shang entered the year he was established, he had become much more mature. Other than staying in the imperial forest to become an ordinary Lang General, although he did not accomplish anything, he did not make any mistakes.

With regards to Xie Shang's ability, Xie Fei had always recognized it. The reason why the Chen County Schell's s could become the head of the Wealthy Class in the East Jin and become the biggest family in the East Jin along with the Lang Xie Wang family, was because of Xie Shang's contributions!

Towards this cheap nephew of his, Xie Fei also liked him from the bottom of his heart. Xie Fei said to Xie Kun: "Rest assured Brother Wang, we will still give you face!"

Xie Kun continued, "Your Majesty, this subject has one more matter. The Cabinet just received an application from the Ministry of Science and Technology, and next year's funding is actually seven million Qin dollars!"

7 million Qin coins was equivalent to 7 million silver taels. Although Qin State was rich, this was not a small amount!

Xie Fei said: "What's wrong? There's no money left in the treasury? "

When Xie Kun heard this, he could not help but laugh bitterly. He was not someone who was good at financing, but Xie Fei had forced him to become the Qin State's Minister of Revenue, and was now the Minister of Finance and Deputy Minister of State. In the past, Xie Kun did not feel troubled either. The Qin State's revenue was always higher than the expenditure, but now, although the revenue would increase by a large amount every year, the expenditure was extremely high. The construction of the railways required money, the water conservancy and roads required money, the city infrastructure needed money as well, the army needed money, the construction of uniforms, weapons, warships, telegraph network, all of this required money. Furthermore, there was a bottomless pit in the Qin State, and in Xie Kun's eyes, the construction of railways were not just building a railway, it was building a golden road!

Xie Kun couldn't help but frown, and said: "The tax that Qin State collects into her treasury every year is in the trillions. But the expenses are also huge, such as the construction of the North and South Canal, the construction and maintenance of roads, ports, and all sorts of other expenses. In the past, it was not a big deal, but since the start of the railway construction, I'm afraid this year's finances are facing a huge deficit. "

Xie Fei asked: "How big is this gap?"

Xie Kun said: "About eighty million!"

"How did your Cabinet solve this?" When big things happened normally, the Cabinet didn't have to abandon the Emperor, but rather send all their decisions to Xie Fei for his preview. However, Xie Fei was a lazy person, he would read all the daily reports the Cabinet sent him whenever he had time, even if he didn't have time! Just like the report on the financial crisis, he had sent it to the imperial study three days ago.

Xie Kun said: "Our Cabinet used two methods, one is to delay the construction of some facilities, like the canal in the north (formerly referring to the north of the Yellow River), at the same time, it prohibits the blind expansion of the construction of three studies, the Cabinet has decreed that counties that have a population of no more than three hundred thousand people, without the village education, their students should study near, the State gives them a portion of the fare, the other is to encourage merchants to raise funds, but these two methods have their advantages and disadvantages, just speaking of the construction of the canal, it is the main way to connect the north and south, if there are no canals, it will greatly increase the cost of transportation, which will greatly affect the business! On the surface, he might be able to save some money, but in the long run, it might not be beneficial for him. We used to get financing from merchants, and those merchants only seek profit. After we built the bridge, we were able to collect fees for the bridge, and after we built the road, we collected fees for the road. If we let them contribute to the construction of the canal, I'm afraid everyone would have to pay the toll for the river! "

Xie Fei asked: "How big of a gap is there in the canal?"

Xie Kun said: "The Ministry of Industry has a budget of twenty-four million! Three years complete! "However, the treasury can only squeeze out ten million."

"In other words, we're short of fourteen million?"

"That's right, but this official has spoken a little less. In addition, the price of the goods has skyrocketed and their value has dropped. I'm afraid that after three years, it will take more than 16 million!"

Xie Fei said: "Why don't we stop at the canal for now? "Since river transportation is not enough, we can use sea transportation. Right now in the Hebei region, the population is not that large, so temporarily the pressure on transportation can be overcome. After the railway can be repaired, it will be greatly relieved!"

Xie Fei said: "The basic construction of every region must be to protect the lives of their citizens. We have heard that every region is crazily building government buildings, the Cabinet needs to come up with a policy as soon as possible! "Stop this kind of momentum. If This Emperor knows who is holding me back, This Emperor will take whose head!"

Hearing this, Xie Kun opened his mouth wide, Xie Fei was like this, wanting his head whenever he wanted! Killing without hesitation!

Xie Kun said: "Under the condition that we can't stop the construction of the railway, the national treasury really does not have the funds for the Ministry of Science and Technology!"

Xie Fei laughed: "We will pay for this!"

Xie Kun said embarrassedly: "How can Your Majesty's treasury be touched, if you want to touch our Schell's, then do it. Although Schell's isn't as rich as Young's, but I can still take out 7 million!"

Xie Fei and Schell's were originally a combination of interests, so Xie Fei and Xie Kun was definitely not related to each other in any way. When Schell's recognized Xie Fei, he even tied him to Xie Fei's chariot, and he was even beaten by Xie Fei once. Only Schell's did not make a move, so Schell's was really willing to do it!

Xie Fei laughed, he was obviously tired. He smiled and stood up, and said to Xie Kun: We are the emperor right now, and our mountains and rivers are protected by the imperial family! This time, you should follow You Yi out. We will reward you well, but our Great Qin has only bestowed two princes, and our sons and nephew have outstanding talents, so we can bestow them upon you, and even dukes have to contribute, so as to prevent others from speaking any further! "

Xie Fei's meaning was obvious, if you throw the peach, I will report it to Li! It was another transaction!

Xie Kun was very helpless. How was this an emperor?

Just as Xie Kun was about to thank him, Shang Guan Zhao Yan suddenly entered and said: "Your majesty, General Meng has sent an urgent report!"

Xie Fei raised his brows, and said: "Bring it up for me to take a look."

Xie Fei took the telegram that Meng Tianhu had sent over. This was a long letter that was spreading everywhere, almost a thousand words. There was no need to ask, it definitely had been written by Huan Wen! After Xie Fei finished reading, he could not help but be shocked! An evil heart will not die! "

Ma Kusi's methods might be considered weak in the eyes of Meng Tianhu, Huan Wen and the rest, but Xie Fei could see through their sinister intentions with a glance. Xie Fei secretly thought in his heart!

"Your Majesty!"

"Take a look. Your Cabinet must come up with a resolution as soon as possible! " Xie Fei handed the electric suit over to Xie Kun, and then said to Zhao Yan: "Created decree, Prince of An Xi, Aldous, is extremely wise and foolish. I grant him the title of king of Persia, that is, Persia! Furthermore, Duke Lu, Xie Tian, has been working hard with kings, is proficient in military tactics, and is extremely loyal to them. I have conferred him the title of Grand Marshal of the Persian Kingdom, with the right to act and assist Aldas in the establishment of the Persian Kingdom! "

Xie Fei then said again, which was about the same, "Zhao Aiqing, try a bit more!"

"Central Asia, the Great Qin is coming!"
