"If you don't leave, you will be beaten to death with a stick... Wait a minute, what did he say?"

  "The little beggar said that he... is going to repay his kindness."

  Lin Qidu hesitated for a moment: "Bring him in to see me."

  The servant thanked him and backed away, and after a while, a thin and small child was brought to Lin Qidu.

  Lin Qidu remembered that this person was a child who robbed a group of stray dogs for food during the day.

  "Hmph..." Lin Qidu couldn't help laughing: "Little guy, you are quite strong... Take it down for a bath and change him into clothes."

  The child didn't say a word and looked at everything around him with his big eyes.

  Lin Qidu couldn't help but think of the children who died of starvation on the roadside when there was another famine in his hometown.

  He didn't come and broke out in a cold sweat.

  When he woke up from the terrible memory, the thin child had been brought to him by the servant.

  "What's your name? Where are you from?"

  The child looked at Lin Qidu, a little scared, but wanted to get close to him.

  "My name is Xiao Zhuzi, and I don't know where I am from."

  Lin Qidu put down the teacup, leaned down and looked at the thin child, as if he had heard a joke:

  "What did you say your name was?" "

  "My name is Xiaozhu!"

  Lin Qidu laughed: "You are as skinny as a toothpick. What's your name, Xiaozhu, just call it a small toothpick."

  "No! I'm going to be called Xiaozhu!"

  This kind of stubbornness made Lin Qidu laugh: "Okay, okay! Little Zhuzi... You can be a book boy by my side from today.

  In this study, after you have cleaned up, you will have food to eat. If the master is happy, he will also take you out to play! "

  "I'm here to repay my kindness. I remember when my mother died, she told me that if you get the benefits of others, you must repay your kindness.

  I clean your study room, is it to repay your kindness? "

  Lin Qidu leaned down, reached out and touched the small pillar that was only his knees high, and sighed: "Yes, this is to repay me."

  "Master, I found a total of three people who look alike. The other teachers are all too old."

  The three beautiful girls were brought in, Lin Qidu glanced at the three of them, and the three of them all showed their charming gestures.

  According to Lin Qidu's current reputation in Chang'an City, who wouldn't want to be favored by him?

  Lin Qidu hesitated for a while, he glanced at the small pillar, and suddenly thought, if he really died, will this poor little thing die in the belly of those dogs on the side of the street one day?

  Thinking of this, Lin Qidu couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in his heart.

  Suddenly, Lin Qidu burst out laughing, stretched his arms around the three and walked towards the bedroom on the side.

  Xiao Zhuzi blinked his eyes, and asked the domestic servant who had a strange smile on his face, "What did they do? Mister seems to be very happy?"

  "Shh—you are such an older child, why are you asking this?" The servant picked up the small pillar and said with a smile:

  "Boy, you're lucky, but in this mansion, don't ask things that shouldn't be asked. Besides, what are you asking this for for a kid like you? Haha, don't you think?"

  Xiaozhu nodded vigorously, but didn't understand anything.

  in the palace.

  All the six ministers and servants were present. Although everyone could see that the emperor's condition was not very good, they still began to discuss state affairs.

  Fortunately, the Queen has always been very energetic. No matter who stood up and said anything, the Queen would listen very carefully. If the Emperor was stunned, the Queen would also explain it very carefully on the side.

  One hour ago, it was mainly to report the preparation of strategic materials in various places of the Qin Empire.

  Now I'm ready to determine the strategic goal, first hit the north, or hit the south first.

  "According to the situation of the former emperor's domination of the mountains and rivers in the past, it is natural to fight the south first." Li Si cupped his hands and said, he stood up, holding an arrow in his hand, pointed at the map of the Great Qin territory on the side and said:

  "But the current situation is somewhat different from the situation when the late emperor unified the mountains and rivers. If we attack the south first.

  The first problem encountered is that the southern route is extremely difficult, but we can try a variety of offensive methods.

  The first one, waterways go hand in hand!This is one of them, mobilizing a large army on the ground and hitting the force to retake the three southeastern counties.

  Second, from Chu land, the river (Yangtze River) can go out to the sea, send big boats, go all the way south along the sea, and attack Panyu (now Guangzhou) directly from the sea.

  Panyu is also one of the three counties in the southeast, and it is also one of the main places where the remnants of the old Chu are now entrenched.

  Moreover, I am afraid that no one would have imagined that our dynasty would launch troops from the sea to attack south, as long as there was the pressure of the army's southern expedition before.

  The enemy army will definitely arrange important troops in the generation of Hengpu Pass.

  And Hengpu Pass is the gateway to the three southeastern counties. As a result, Panyu will definitely be empty, just in time to find a way back and regain the three southeastern counties once and for all! "

  After saying this, Li Si looked at the emperor.

  Su Wen pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "..." Aiqing said nothing, but now it's only the middle of June.

  The wind blowing on the sea is the sea monsoon blowing from the southeast. The warship wants to go south, but it is not in the river, and it is probably impossible to cross the sea by simply relying on human oars.

  This is one of them.

  Second, although my shipbuilding skills are not bad, if I want to cross the sea, I still need a bigger ship. "

  Li Si smiled and said, "Your Majesty don't need to worry about the problem of the big ship."

  "Huh? What does Aiqing mean?"

  Li Si smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember an alchemist named Xu Fu? He helped the late emperor to find the medicine of immortality, so when he set out on a long voyage, he already left behind a relatively standard (Li Nuo's) blueprint of a large sea ship, with four floors in one boat. Tall and big, it is called a building ship!

  The only problem is the southeast monsoon that His Majesty said. "

  Speaking of this, Li Si couldn't help but frown.

  "In other words, the conditions for attacking the south are not yet ripe." Meng Tian got up and cupped his hands and said, "Why don't you concentrate your forces and destroy the rebellion in Yandi in the north?

  It is very difficult to attack the south, but to attack the north, we have the Great Wall Corps to cooperate with each other, and it will be relatively easy to destroy the rebels.

  In this way, it is also possible to suppress the arrogance of the remnants of the Six Nations! "

  Su Wen narrowed his eyes, as if to make a decision.

  Meng Hui frowned, thinking that His Majesty and himself and other three people were so crazy last night, so that the emperor doesn't have much energy to think about the problem now.

  She quietly and gently pulled the emperor's imperial robe, and quickly wrote the word "soldier" in the emperor's palm.

  Su Wen woke up like a dream, and immediately said: "This matter is not urgent, the Ministry of War has not counted how many troops are available in the country now, report it quickly!".

Chapter 1021

  Meng Tian also felt that the emperor was not in the state today, but he still took out the memorial and presented it to the emperor with both hands:

  "Since the Battle of Yinshan, the Great Wall Legion still has [-] troops, but counting the soldiers guarding various places, the army that can be transferred from the Great Wall to fight can only be up to [-].

  If it exceeds [-], the defense line along the Great Wall will have problems. "

  Su Wen pondered for a while, Donghu and the Huns on the grassland still needed enough troops to deter them.

  Going directly to the grasslands to chase and fight the Donghu people and the remaining Huns is an unrealistic problem in itself.

  Because they won't fight you, they ran away when they saw Qin Jun from a distance...

  "Xianyang Chang'an two places, plus the Lantian camp, all the troops together, there are a total of [-] people.

  Among them, the issue of garrison and defense in Xianyang and Chang'an must also be considered.

  Moreover, among the [-] troops, it is also necessary to consider that there are nearly [-] of them, and their predecessors were prisoners who repaired the emperor's tomb for the previous emperor.

  Therefore, as far as elites are concerned, we can only have [-] in our hands.

  But these 590 elites will have to eliminate [-] people to guard the country, so the real elites in Xianyang City can only be counted as [-], and the remaining [-] troops still need to experience hard battles Can only be called elite.

  In addition, there is also a summary of the troops in the hands of various princes and kings, roughly [-] troops.

  The combat strength of this [-] army is not comparable to our elite, but it is a bit stronger than the army composed of prisoners. "

  Meng Tian paused and continued: "In addition, the demand for armament is also very considerable, the horizontal sword has not yet been manned, and there are more than [-] troops in the hands of the ring head sword.

  In addition to the Hengdao and Modao that His Majesty needs to supply to the Great Wall Army, according to the production situation on our side, it will take at least two months to collect all the armaments.

  Moreover, this is calculated according to the current best situation. "

  Su Wen frowned and said, "No wonder you, Nei Sten, have come to me many times to ask for slaves...

  Nei Shi Teng looked at Su Wen slightly aggrieved: "This is not the key, the key is that His Majesty hasn't given anyone yet, it's really difficult for this minister!"

  Chunyuyue, the servant of the Ministry of Personnel, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, if there is a real shortage of manpower, why not recruit some slaves from the Dou Beast City?

  In this way, the pressure of each department can also be relieved. "

  Since Chunyuyue became a minister of the Ministry of Officials, he has rarely taken the initiative to speak to the government, unlike when he was a doctor before, when something happened, he could catch the emperor and spray him to death!

  Su Wen pondered for a while, and when he was about to speak, Meng Yi from the Ministry of Household hurriedly said:

  "No, no, no! Absolutely not, I am now feeding so many troops, and I need a lot of military salaries.

  If the industry on the side of the Beast City stops, the first to be hit will be the slave hunters going north.

  Then there is the problem of military pay. "

  Seeing this, Chunyu Yue couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that there is no other money in the treasury?"

  "Yes, of course there is." Meng Yi shook his head and said: "But each of these money has a fixed amount, how can it be used indiscriminately?

  And, don't you think it's a pleasure to watch the money in the treasury pile up like a mountain?

  We now have these industries. Under the condition of ensuring self-sufficient supply, we can have a good income every month. For the empire, this is the performance of gradually becoming stronger and more prosperous.

  If there is a deficit, it is not a good thing for our court officials. "

  Su Wen frowned, and he also found that he was in a bad state today and kept dozing off.

  "Okay, things on the side of Beast City will not stop, this time all the slaves brought back from Beidi County will be allocated to the six...

  In this case, the general thinks, how long does it take for the armament to be prepared? "
