Fish swimming around the world

Jiang Fan's mind moved slightly, and the knife that cut the tripe became slower.

Yes.

The highest official position in the Qin Dynasty belongs to the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers.

The people who are visiting now are two of the Three Dukes. Prime Minister Li Xiu, who assists the empress in managing the administration of the Qin Dynasty, and Taiwei Gao Qi, who is in charge of the military and political affairs of the Qin Dynasty.

Among the Nine Ministers, there are Nei Shi Qian Tong, who is in charge of finance, Taifu Chen He, who is in charge of horse politics, and Langzhong Ling Gao Rong, who is in charge of the Qin Imperial Guards.

Among the four major generals, Meng Ao, the old commander of the Meng family and the Shangzhuguo, is a tiger that has never been buried. He has the title of Shangzhuguo and sits in Yangdu. His son Meng Wu is the General of Zhenbei, guarding the northern border for the Qin Dynasty.

Although the old man of the Li family has retired from the court, his son Li De is the General of Zhendong and is stationed on the eastern line.

The old marquis of the Wang family has also retired from the court, but his son Wang Jian is the General of Zhennan, eyeing Qinnan.

Taiwei Gao Qi is the Grand Marshal of the Army and Horses, in charge of the military and political affairs of the world, sitting in the center, and his son Gao Rong is the Langzhong Ling, guarding the capital.

It seems that the only missing one is the General of Zhenxi, but Daqin has just conferred this position, and it is also held by the Meng family, that is, Mengge who has been stationed in Nanluze. Therefore, the old marshal can also represent it.

"National politics, military politics, finance, horse politics, war generals..."

Jiang Fan muttered to himself in a low voice.

Gu Beiyan looked at him, his eyes fluctuated, but he didn't say anything.

Suddenly, Jiang Fan glared, gnashed his teeth and stuck the knife on the chopping board: "Huh? What are you doing? I said I won't do that..."

But the next moment, his expression slowly eased, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, picked up the knife again and cut the meat carefully, his eyes were focused, and his hands were steady...

This was a grand whole-beef hot pot banquet, a whole cow was cut up, and everyone gathered together, surrounded the steaming brass pot, eating meat and drinking wine, it was so lively.

Especially the veterans, their heroic spirit was still as strong as before, and after three rounds of wine, they started to brag about themselves in the past, saying that they were all over the place and bravest among the three armies.

Then it was inevitable to compare with the future generations, and at this time, Jiang Fan also figured out that the empress had begun to readjust the armaments on a large scale after the New Year's Day and appointed a group of new generals.

But except for the ones just mentioned, Jiang Fan had not had time to understand the whole picture. However, several important appointments were mentioned during the banquet, and Jiang Fan also briefly understood them.

The tiger apprentice also told his master quite proudly that he became the first vanguard officer of the Northern Army with the twelfth-level military merit, and was named Zuo Geng Duwei, and was also called the tiger vanguard.

In general, although the four major generals did not make much adjustments, there were huge changes in the generals at all levels. The number of generals above level 10 alone was more than 500, and the number below level 10 was countless. Such a big move always made Jiang Fan feel a little frightened.

In terms of court officials, the adjustments were also extremely in-depth. In the Yangdu center alone, there were more than 300 newly appointed and dismissed officials. And the adjustments in the prefectures and counties throughout the country reached an astonishing 30,000.

But in Li Xiu's intentional or unintentional narration, Jiang Fan found that the main focus of the adjustment of officials in various places seemed to be concentrated on money, food, garrison, guard, gallop, and horses.

A premonition began to grow in his heart, and he had no taste for food for a while.

But everyone seemed to be chatting casually and did not deliberately express anything to him. Jiang Fan just echoed them, but his heart was surging inside.

During the banquet, everyone praised Jiang Fan for what he had done during this period, especially the Dianchi League, his appointment as prime minister, and the alliance with Jin. They said that the Qin Dynasty had never had such a good situation.

Marshal Meng patted his chest loudly, claiming that he had a keen eye and pulled this rare commodity out of the restaurant, as if Jiang Fan's success today was all his credit.

How could a group of old guys spoil him? It was almost the same as forcing him to drink.

And Li Xiu was also sighing that the government was in good order and the people were harmonious. Now the Qin Dynasty had no internal worries, and the people were united, and the national situation was advancing by leaps and bounds. While talking, he praised Jiang Fan's actions to quell the internal strife of the emperor and the rebellion of the seven dukes.

Chen He was not idle either. He was a die-hard fan of the great prince Jiang. He almost attributed the current prosperity of the three major horse farms in the Qin Dynasty to Jiang Fan. His flattering style made people laugh.

Qian Tong, the head of the Qin Dynasty's finance department, praised Mr. Jiang's ability to amass wealth. Since Jiang Fan took action, in just six years, the Qin Dynasty's treasury has been unprecedentedly rich, more than ten times the richest era. This makes him, the head of finance, more arrogant and generous than ever before.

Although Gao Qi didn't say much, he emphasized four points.

First, since Jiang Fan took action against the barbarians, the total number of Qin's horses has skyrocketed five times, resulting in the expansion of Qin's cavalry by three times, reaching an astonishing 300,000.

Second, the new combat armor created by Jiang Fan is not only sturdy, but also has a very fast output speed. It has basically completed the existing military equipment. In another three years, the reserve can even double. You know, after a few years of recuperation, the Qin Dynasty has recovered from the previous total of 800,000 combat soldiers and auxiliary soldiers to one million combat soldiers alone, not including reserve civilian service and auxiliary soldiers.

Third, the farming system created by Jiang Fan, where soldiers are used as soldiers in wartime and farmers in leisure time, has reduced the consumption of armaments to the greatest extent, and even began to show signs of overflow.

Fourth, Jiang Fan's military books and training methods have brought great changes to the Qin army. It will definitely shock the world in the future.

Jiang Fan was also a little frightened. He had not paid attention to the specific data. Only through Gao Qi's narration and the descriptions of Meng Laoshuai and others did he know that the Qin army had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The two old marquises, Wang and Li, also praised him highly, especially expressing endless gratitude on behalf of their sons. Li De and Wang Jian are both top military officers who have studied the Way of War and the Theory of War. If they were not leading troops outside, they would have come to visit in person.

According to the two old men, they, like the Montaigne brothers, almost regarded Jiang Fan as the ancestor of the Way of War. And their two sons, Wang Ben and Li Yue, even regarded Jiang Fan as a military god. Now the two old men are particularly fortunate that their grandsons have become Jiang Xiaoyao's disciples.

In fact, it's not just them. Anyone who is qualified to study Xiaoyao's military book basically regards Jiang Fan as a teacher. Now his prestige in the army is no less than that of Meng Ao and Gao Qi, and even because of his mystery, it is even better.

Let alone Meng Yi. In his eyes, the master is the only one in the world, and no one can compare to him except His Majesty.

Gao Rong, the cold-faced man, still looks unpleasant after reading Jiang Fan's Six Strategies, but one can feel that he has a deep respect for Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan could only smile and say he was not worthy of it. However, he deeply felt that everything in the casual conversation seemed to have a hidden meaning.

The dinner was a great success for both the host and the guests, and there was almost nothing left of the whole cow. In the end, the guests left one after another, leaving only the old general Meng Ao still knocking on the cup and singing in a daze.

"... When the king raises his army, I will sharpen my spears and swords. I share the same hatred with you! I am not saying I have no clothes, I share the same water with you..."
