sunset.

Everything is finally agreed upon.

This time the monarch and his ministers discussed with each other, a total of five major events were agreed upon.

The first thing is that the first emperor patrolled the northern land.

The second is to plan to build the Great Wall as a permanent barrier for the Great Qin;
The third is to continue to pursue the Xiongnu fiercely, with a view to completely pacifying the north of the Yinshan Mountains, establishing border counties and counties, and unified Beihe and Yinshan borderlands under the jurisdiction of counties;

The fourth item is to discuss that the Qin army will settle down and guard the border for a long time in the future, so as to appease the thousands of miles north.

Fifth, speed up the construction of the Jiuyuan Straight Road to ensure the transportation of grain and fodder.

All matters were agreed, and Ying Zheng left Li Simi alone for a long talk.

When Li Si left the hall, it was already dark. However, the courtiers who had left earlier did not leave in a hurry. Instead, they waited outside and walked over when Li Si came out.

Li Si cupped his hands slightly.

The Shaofu Tengchao Palace bowed slightly, and then said solemnly: "Prime Minister Li, you are the most familiar with Your Majesty. What is His Majesty's intention in calling us to discuss so many things this time? It is true that the Shaofu has increased taxes in recent years, but With so many things going on, the tax and food may not be able to support it."

Shaofu Teng looked worried.

Hearing that His Majesty intends to patrol the north and build the Great Wall earlier, his heart skipped a beat, and then the first emperor made many arrangements, which made his face as black as charcoal, but the first emperor had already made up his mind, he I dare not object directly.

Right now, Li Si had a secret conversation with His Majesty, and he really wanted to know why His Majesty made frequent remarks.

Others also looked over.

Li Si's face was heavy, he bowed his hands slightly to the surrounding people, and said in a deep voice: "I know that you have many doubts, but I actually know very little about it. Your Majesty's behavior must have deep meaning, and I really don't dare to speculate. "

"I didn't know it before."

"but."

Li Si paused for a moment, his eyes moved slightly and said: "Recently, the Northland has been quite unstable, and the stability of the Northland is related to the Northern Expedition to the Huns. All the measures taken by His Majesty are aimed at appeasement of the Northland, in order to achieve both internal and external governance."

"In the past, the imperial court's attention was focused all day long, but starting today, there will be a big shift. His Majesty has already begun to look at the undercurrent of restoration. This time, the big hunting tour is very different from the past."

"The reason why this time is on a grand scale."

"I'm afraid there is no shortage of declaring war with the restoration forces."

"The situation in the North has been complicated recently, and if you want to suppress the restoration, you must eliminate the border troubles. Therefore, the Qin army behind the border and the construction of the Jiuyuan Straight Road have the same purpose in the final analysis, that is, the imperial court wants a stable north. Clean up the internal affairs."

"The imperial court spent a lot of money this time."

"However, if the internal affairs of the old Zhao, the old Yan, and the old Wei can be cleaned up, the north will be completely stable and peaceful, but the court can reduce a lot of expenses, and it can also remove the hidden dangers of Chu and Baiyue. In other words, these actions do more good than harm.”

"It's just my guess."

"I don't dare to speculate on what His Majesty's specific thoughts are, but the attention of the empire has indeed shifted from today, and you all need to understand this."

Li Si emphasized it again.

Done.

He also left with a flick of his sleeves.

Everyone was left thinking in place.

Zheng Guo looked dignified, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty has lofty ideas, but this series of measures will consume a lot of money and food. If there are no public toilets to collect fertilizers, so as to increase food production last year, otherwise the taxes of the local Guizhou heads will increase significantly this year. .”

"even so."

"This year, people's taxes may also increase a lot."

"I only hope that the chaos in northern Xinjiang can be calmed down as soon as possible. Otherwise, the taxes collected by the people in the next few years may be very staggering."

"Ugh."

Zheng Guochang sighed, and left with a heavy expression.

As an internal historian of millet, one of his important duties is to ensure that taxes are collected, so he also has the most thorough understanding of the taxes and taxes collected by the people every year. Every time the first emperor made a hunting tour, the travel time was never shorter than half a year. There are hundreds of thousands of people, which can be described as a huge waste of money and food.

There is also the subsequent construction of the Great Wall, the construction of the Jiuyuan Straight Road, and a large amount of investment in the subsequent border defense. These all require a lot of money and food, and where will the money and food come from?

Qianshou! ! !

The weather has just entered the winter.

Zheng Guo has already started to think about spring plowing.

He must increase the grain harvest as much as possible, otherwise many people may not be able to support the subsequent taxation of the imperial court.

And he was a little worried.

He worried that it would be difficult for the north to settle down.

Once it becomes a tug-of-war, under the deliberate destruction of the Xiongnu and the restoration forces, the harvest in the north may be greatly reduced, which undoubtedly cast a shadow over Zheng Guo's heart.

The same goes for Shaofu Teng.

What Zheng Guo was worried about was taxes, but he was more direct. What he worried about was money and grain. Money and food can't stand it.

Now it is necessary to raise 50 soldiers from the north and the south.

The subsequent construction of the Great Wall will undoubtedly require a large number of prisoners to be recruited, as well as the construction of straight roads, and Lishan Mausoleum.

but.

They all knew very well that there was nothing wrong with what the First Emperor did. The situation at this time was the general trend of the world and the overall situation of the New Deal. Restoration and restoration, the great struggle for the survival of the country, could not tolerate any flukes and slack.

The few remaining people looked at each other with more or less solemn eyes. They knew very well that the situation in the world had changed, so they arched their hands together, turned around and strode away.

The next day.

The sky is bright and white.

The first emperor's hunting tour has already been reported.

It is about the travel of 10 people, and it cannot be completed overnight. Therefore, after the news of the hunting tour, the court has not changed much from the past, but the postman who carries the letter has been much busy during this period.

the other side.

After many discussions with the prime minister's mansion, Qin Luoheng finally decided on the position of secretary, and he finally officially took office as a 'Qin official'.

His official office is not conspicuous in the palace, it can even be called remote.

But Qin Luoheng was very satisfied.

For the past half month, he has been going back and forth between the academy and the prime minister's mansion. After a while of lobbying, he has also successfully persuaded a group of doctors and bachelors. Of course, there are still some people who have decided to go. Qin Luoheng is not too reluctant and agrees These people leave.

Following the abolition of the doctoral position, Xu Xin and the others also took away the titles that were conferred at the beginning. Qin Luoheng followed the procedure and re-issued documents and titles to them, but the titles were not the same as before. Taller.

But Xu Xin and the others didn't care.

At least, they don't have to go to the official office every day, and they can do what they want. It's just that Qin Luoheng suffers, guarding the official office alone, busy inside and out, running back and forth.

In the middle of Mengchun.

The date of the hunting tour announced by the imperial court.

The second day of February.

That is, February [-], the day when the dragon raised its head.

As the date approached, Xianyang gradually became tense. Horses passed through the city from time to time, and postmen shouted loudly, but this had nothing to do with Qin Luoheng. The official office set up.

Although all officials are seconded, they have already taken shape.

Qin Luoheng didn't break his promise, and successfully installed both Da and Fen in the official office. However, the two are still in the stage of "testing to be officials", just running errands. As for whether they can pass the follow-up assessment for officials, it depends on The two made their own efforts.

He won't help.

early morning.

Inside the palace.

Ying Zheng stepped on Xu Xinxue and walked into the Prince's Academy.

There were bursts of reading sounds in the palace.

On the side, a young man was holding a dagger, but he didn't read a book. Instead, he raised the sword with both hands and chopped the dead tree stump in front with all his strength. He heard a bang, but the dagger got stuck in the scattered branches under the cover of fresh snow.

Hu Hai's face was flushed, and he pulled out his sword with all his strength, but before he could pull out the sword, his hands slipped out of the sword grid wet with snow, and he fell on his back, and fell into the snow nest. The other princes in the palace had to learn how to laugh.

But after seeing the figure of Ying Zheng, the laughter of the young masters stopped immediately, and they all sat upright, and they didn't dare to read aloud anymore. They all sat on the table like quails, their expressions were extremely reserved and nervous.

Ying Zheng walked over.

He helped Hu Hai up, frowned and said, "It's snowing, why are you practicing swords outside?"

Hu Hai raised his head, Jiu Jiu said loudly: "Practicing swords in the snowy sky, Hu Hai wants to kill the Xiongnu."

Ying Zheng stretched out his hand, pulled out the short sword stuck in the branch, and said coldly: "I don't need you to fight the enemy yet, you just study hard in the academy."

Done.

Then he entered the school palace.

Hu Hai picked up the dagger, his eyes full of unwillingness.

He naturally has his own thoughts on this sword dance. He has known that his father is going on a hunting tour. In the past, his father would take him on a hunting tour and would inform him very early, but this time, his father was late. There was no notice for a long time, which made Hu Hai feel a sense of urgency.

He danced his sword and spoke out about the Xiongnu, just to test one or two.

However, the father obviously didn't care, which made Hu Hai very disappointed.

Ying Zheng naturally noticed Hu Hai's small thoughts. When he was critically ill last time, he already knew that he loved Hu Hai a little too much, so that Hu Hai had some unreasonable thoughts that he shouldn't have.

He did love Hu Hai in the past.

But it is not intended to let Hu Hai fight for power.

Moreover, Hu Hai's performance that time made Ying Zheng feel a little bit chilled, but Hu Hai was his heir after all, he didn't blame him too much at that time, he just alienated Hu Hai on purpose, and judging from today's situation, Hu Hai may still be a little unwilling to give up.

This made Ying Zheng even more unhappy.

Although Hu Hai is a little clever, but he can't be in the hall of elegance, and the current situation in the court is complicated, even Fusu can't control it, let alone he is a child?
Hu Hai has crossed the line a bit! ! !
Yingzheng entered the palace, looked at the princes sitting upright, and said indifferently: "I will patrol the north on the second day of February, and you should stay in the palace and study hard, especially Hu Hai, you are still young, don't spend all day Thinking wildly, dancing with sticks."

"You don't have to follow this patrol."

"Just stay in the palace, gain knowledge from other elder brothers, and learn some knowledge from the inner teacher."

　Shangshu did exist in the Warring States Period, but it is also called Zhangshu. It is set in the book as Shaofu Zhangshu, who is in charge of government documents, so Shangshu is considered new.
