I saw him flip open the white paper and start the introduction page by page.

  The entire book turned out to be a breakdown of all the revenues and expenditures of the treasury.

  Before Suwen came, there was no paper at all.All accounts are written either on bamboo slips or on silk.It can be seen how precise Meng Yi is.After he was in charge of logistics, he actually made a treasury ledger by himself and took it with him.

  When the ministers saw Meng Yi's appearance, they thought the deerskin bag was ridiculous, and at the same time they had a (good) respect in their hearts.

  "Originally, the treasury's account was not enough. But since the emperor decided to stop the construction of the Lishan Mausoleum and the Epang Palace, although the money saved has been stretched, if a little is allocated to agriculture, it is still possible. It's just that the minister is worried about a drop in the bucket and will not solve it. Problem." Meng Yi gritted his teeth and continued: "If not, then ask officials at all levels to donate money to the country, so that we may be able to tide over the difficulties."

  The word "donation" swirled around in Su Wen's mind, but he decisively eliminated it.

  Now it is a situation where the wall is down and everyone is pushing. If the salaries and salaries of the officials are deducted, I am afraid that the country will really be destroyed.

  Su Wen didn't blame Meng Yi, this old minister was also in a hurry for money, so he lost his head and measured everyone with his loyalty.He Meng Yi is willing to pay, but other officials may not have this idea.

  "This matter has to be solved separately!" Su Wen frowned, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind - there it is! .

Chapter 429

  For someone to do something, there must be enough interest to attract them.

  Today, we have been fighting for years.For these noble families, food is the most important thing.But they are also afraid of escalating the war and the country's requisition of food.So they quietly saved enough food and refused to multiply.In this way, the labor is saved, and there is no land fetters.

  Su Wen tapped lightly on the table, and said after a moment of silence: "It turns out that when farming, you have to pay taxes and corvée, so farmers are not motivated to do so. Pay for food."

  "Under the whole world, there is no king's land. It is only natural for the emperor to use the crops grown on the emperor's land. But now the emperor still has to use money to buy the food grown on his own land, isn't this a bit... ..." Li Si shook his head and said.

  His words did not go on.

  Even Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi and Liu Mo felt inconceivable about what Su Wen advocated, and they all shook their heads, expressing their incomprehension.

  This time, several ministers invariably sided with Li Si.

  Su Wen looked at a few courtiers and shook his head with a wry smile.This thing is really ahead of its time.If he told these few people, he planned to distribute all the land of the country to individuals in the future, and contracted production to households.At a certain time, the state not only harvests grain, but also provides subsidies for farming.Those few people will definitely go crazy on the spot, or think they are crazy.

  "I have my own thoughts. This is just a matter of money, and nothing else. But the food is in our hands, and it will be easy to fight. When the time comes, we will exchange the materials looted from the war ahead to buy food, even if we can't reach it. Balance of payments, I guess it can be close to ten." Su Wen pinched his fingers, at this moment, there is no emperor's demeanor at all, but he looks like a full-fledged businessman.

  His words were more like a robber, and several courtiers were stunned.

  But being able to stand out among thousands of people and be a close minister by the emperor's side, that one has a very bright mind.

  At this moment, several people who were intimidated by Emperor Qin II's thoughts calmed down and thought about what Su Wen said, and suddenly felt that it made a lot of sense.

  Liu Mo was young and was the first to react, with a faint smile on his face.

  Meng Tian studied what Su Wen said about robbing the enemy's materials for his own use (bgdi).He used to guard the border for many years and had the most dealings with the northern Xiongnu.

  The troops of the Huns came and went without a trace on the northern prairie. Each time they harassed a city, they robbed countless cattle and sheep, and then they left quickly without waiting for the arrival of the regular Daqin troops.

  This practice, although similar to robbery, is the best way to harass an enemy.

  "But after years of wars, ministers, ministers are afraid of the emperor's orders... No one will believe them!" Li Si is worthy of being an old prime minister, and he considers issues extremely thoughtfully.

  Although Su Wen's strategy is feasible, it needs to be believed by the big households in Daqin who have surplus grain.

  According to Qin Ershi's rebellious practice, I am afraid that these eyelashes are all empty eyelashes, and it is difficult to believe easily.Li Si also thought about it for a long time before he dared to say these words.

  As soon as he said these words, several ministers looked at Su Wen's face.

  But to everyone's surprise, Su Wen didn't bother about whether Li Si's words were referring to his previous actions. Instead, he directly grasped that Li Si's key point was the issue of trust, and said: "To win the trust of the people, my ancestors of Daqin did this. The matter. Have you forgotten that the former Shangjun reformed?"

  When he mentioned it, several people suddenly became enlightened and came to their senses.

  The emperor has already explained things so thoroughly, and if they still hesitate to do the rest of the little details, it is probably unreasonable.

  Meng Yi got up immediately and said, "This minister will go to count the treasury and prepare the money for agriculture first."

  "To win the trust of the people, please Emperor Rongchen think of a way first, and then send out an announcement. It is estimated that it will be done." Li Si also stood up and said with a clasped fist.

  Su Wen nodded and said: "You guys are impatient. Do this first. You supervise the money and food in the rear and cooperate well, and do this first. Spring ploughing can't be delayed, I want the result, and you can think of the method yourself. ."

  "Nuo!" After several ministers left, only Meng Tian remained in his seat, not paying attention to what they said.

  I saw a moment of joy on his face, a moment of worry, and sometimes a thoughtful look on his face.

  Su Wen looked at Meng Tian with a smile on his face, coughed lightly, and said with a smile, "General Meng, what did you think of?"

  After being reminded by Qin Ershi, Meng Tian suddenly woke up, got up and clasped his fists and said, "This minister has lost his temper."

  Su Wen nodded, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly and said, "Tell me, what made us lose the general gaffe."

  Seeing that Su Wen didn't mean to blame, Meng Tian was shocked and returned to his own state again, and said with a hint of excitement in his tone: "The emperor just discussed with them the solution of the money in the rear, but one sentence woke me up. minister."

  "The minister has been at the border for a long time, and now half his life has passed, and he has experienced countless wars, big and small. But today, the emperor's words finally awakened the minister. Why can our war only be entangled in the struggle for one city and one place? Why not learn from the Xiongnu in the north? , relying on guerrilla raids to snatch the enemy's supplies and kill the enemy's head to win the war?" Meng Tian is indeed a veteran, and under the guidance of Su Wen's sentence of robbing the enemy's food and grass, he thought a lot.

  "I suddenly understand why we are always passively beaten towards the Xiongnu. Please allow the emperor to lead a team of soldiers and horses to fight against these rebels. If you don't make merit, please behead the minister." Meng Tianyue said The more excited he was, he actually wanted to return to the battlefield as a minister of the counselor's office, and made meritorious deeds by killing the enemy.

  Su Wen's predecessor was a history teacher, and he knew a lot about history.Hearing Meng Tian's words now, he immediately reminded him of some military actions in the past dynasties of the Celestial Dynasty.

  He patted his thigh, got up and took Meng Tian's hand and said, "What the general said was to inspire each other. Your words made me figure it out."

  At this moment, he thought of the great guerrilla warfare theory once put forward by the Communist Party of China, as well as the famous strategy of encircling the city from the countryside.

  This kind of advanced concept was not even thought of by Su Wen, a history teacher.Now, with Meng Tian's reminder, he immediately understood how great this strategy was.

  "The general is calm. For things like war, the commander needs to formulate policies and strategies. The general is now the commander-in-chief of my Daqin. It is up to the generals in front to really lead the troops into battle. We only need to do one thing, and that is to select from the army. Excellent generals, and then hand over this policy to them." Su Wen said with his hands on Meng Tian's shoulders.

  "Yes, let's fight to support the war." Meng Tian was excited.

  "Fighting with war, we want to be mobile bandits and snatch their rear." Su Wen's eyes shone with the light of thieves, from the emperor to the king of the mountain.

Chapter 430

  Today's Daqin army is mainly in charge of veteran general Wang Ben and new commander Zhang Han.

  In order to avoid a historic failure, Su Wen deliberately asked Wang Ben to lead Wang Li’s army, who had returned from the north, and ordered them to gather on the north road, using Hangu Pass as a barrier.

  In history, the Zhang Han troops who had attacked Zhao State in the northeast were transferred from their original direction by Su Wen.

  Zhang Han replaced the Qin general who was originally guarding Wuguan.

  In history, the battle of Xiang Yu and Julu broke Zhang Han.Now, Su Wen deliberately kept Zhang Han away from Zhao and Julu.

  This kind of mobilization was originally intended to stagger the major failures in history, but people are not as good as heaven.

  Just when Su Wen and Meng Tian decided to stick with the army and guerrilla raids to harass the rear of the rebels, bad news came from the direction of the Hanguguan army: the old general Wang Ben fell ill because of his old age and the fatigue of his army and horses. I'm sorry, I can't lead things in the army.

  The news spread to the Xianyang Imperial Palace, and several people in the Counselor's Office immediately discussed it and reported it to Su Wen, the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty.

  Now that Wang Ben is seriously ill, the veteran general Wang Li has been transferred by Su Wen to the northern border to prevent the Hu people from attacking.At this moment, among the North Road army guarding Hangu Pass, there is not a single general in command.

  Although Li Jian and Wei Huo both showed good military exploits, they were young after all.After weighing by the Counselor's Office, Meng Tian and others agreed that Zhang Han should be transferred to Hangu Pass as the commander-in-chief.

  As for the soldiers of Wuguan, they were composed of prisoners who built Mount Li back then. They were not the elite teachers of the Qin Dynasty. After teaching them to famous generals, the young and steady Li Yuan could barely do it.

  After everyone negotiated it, Su Wen immediately ordered Youzhan to write a decree to send the [-]-mile dispatch to Wuguan and Hanguguan overnight.

  On the one hand, Zhang Han was transferred as the commander-in-chief of the Hanguguan army, and on the other hand, Li Yuan was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Wuguan army.In terms of temperance, Zhang Han and Li Yuan went hand in hand, and there was no distinction between big and small.

  After arranging the transfer of the commander, the Daqin royal family sent the only remaining prince of the royal family, Gao, to go to Hanguguan to bring back the old general Wang Ben.At the same time, Su Wen held a sacrificial ceremony in the western suburbs of Xianyang, praying for Wang Ben and wishing the old general a speedy recovery.

  This kind of performance immediately won the admiration of the court and the opposition.Especially the family of some famous generals of Da Qin, Su Ru's family, suddenly felt that the emperor had not forgotten them.

  The most grateful is the Wang family.Wang Li, who was far away from the border, first heard the rumors, and then saw the official newspaper, which clearly stated that the emperor prayed for Wang Ben in the western suburbs of Xianyang to worship the sky.Wang Li's heart was shaken, and the border guards were more tightly guarded. He ordered the army and horses every day, which made the Hu people who were a little bit quieter.

  When Wang Ben returned to Xianyang and Li Yuan took over the army at Wuguan, everything settled down.

  Only Su Wen felt a hint of unease in his heart.

  He had originally arranged to keep Zhang Han away from the land of Julu in Zhao State, just to avoid the battle of Xiang Yu's fame in history, which was also the battle of the Great Qin Kingdom - the Battle of Julu.

  But it was a coincidence of Wang Ben's disease, and the army in the north was full of elites. If Li Yuan, Li Jian, Wei Huo and other new generals were to lead, it would undoubtedly cause great turmoil.

  Under this form of persecution, only Zhang Han can do the job.

  Originally, he planned to give Zhang Han a will, that is, not to attack Zhao State easily.

  It is possible to fight with an army, and the commander will not be subject to the orders of foreign monarchs.If an emperor in the rear is pointing fingers at the form of the front line, it is undoubtedly a distrust of the generals and irresponsible for the war.

  After weighing the pros and cons, Su Wen decided to let Zhang Han go to Hangu Pass, and he would take care of the joints.

  At this moment, Zhang Han, who was riding on the horse, did not know Su Wen's worries.

  This general, who rose from the position of a civil official in Daqin, acted resolutely. From the moment he received the imperial decree, he did not delay at all. He put on his helmet and put on his armor, and only brought a dozen personal soldiers, each of whom rode two horses. , galloping on the road without sleep.

  As the battle began, Zhang Han felt more and more that the changes in the battle situation could not tolerate anyone's little gap.He wants to get to Hangu Pass as soon as possible.

  Although he has been leading the army in the south, he has not stopped studying the form of the north.

  Qin destroyed six kingdoms, and Zhao kingdom suffered the worst casualties.In the battle of Changping, Zhao State was killed by [-] soldiers, and for a time there were almost no males in Zhao State.

  This kind of pain of destroying the country was deeply planted among the people of Zhao State.Even in the previous battle between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, the descendants of the other five kingdoms were involved, but Zhao Guo was not involved, but the goal was clear, that is, to fight Daqin to the death.

  After Zhang Er and Chen Yu re-established the king of Zhao, he persuaded all the ministers of the state of Zhao to invite Bai Ba back to the state of Zhao.

  Because of Wang Ben's serious illness, the Daqin army neglected to take precautions, and the area outside the Hangu Pass that was originally captured was once again seized by Bai Ba to the territory of Zhao State.

  Li Jian and Wei Huo wanted to attack many times, but although the veteran Wang Ben was seriously ill, he was not confused. He knew that Zhao Guo was now on top of his vigor and could not be blocked.The soldiers retreated little by little, leaving the city to Bai Ba.

  Hangu Pass became an important town in the northeast direction of Daqin.

  At present, the Zhao ** team is just outside Hangu Pass, facing off against the Daqin army from a distance.When the other five countries saw Zhao **sheng, they even assembled a coalition army and came to help the fist.

  All these situations are under Zhang Han's control.However, these were not what worried Zhang Han the most.

  What worries him most is that at this moment, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are back on good terms. Following the mysterious sudden death of King Jingju of Chu, both of them are now under the command of King Xiong Xin of Chu.

  At this moment, Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Liang has led tens of thousands of Chu troops towards Hangu Pass. Once they are assembled, it will be a fierce battle.

  All this, from the moment Zhang Han received the order from the commander-in-chief of the Northern Route Army, was circling in his mind.

  Now, all Zhang Han has to do is to immediately rush to Hangu Pass, integrate the army, and defeat the Zhao ** team before Xiang Liang's army arrives.

.. 0

  Although the so-called six-nation coalition was powerful, everyone knew that in terms of combat effectiveness, the Chu army led by Xiang Liang was the sharpest.Only by defeating these beam-jumping clowns can they fight against Xiang Liang head-on.

  Along the way, Zhang Han and a dozen relatives arrived at Hangu Pass in less than a night.
