Daqin: The first emperor came to recognize his relatives, and I greeted him with a knife

The weather is getting finer, in the palace.

Ying Zheng was still holding the wooden umbrella, looking left and right, his eyes were full of liking.

This wooden umbrella is indeed much more convenient, and it will not seep through due to excessive rain, and it dries very quickly.

"Your Majesty, the imperial court ordered Sang Xu to ask for an audience."

Yufu is the department responsible for making various objects and tools.

It gathers the best craftsmen of the whole Daqin.

Ying Zheng said, "Let him in quickly."
Sang Xu walked in quickly and quickly knelt down to salute.

"My minister sees the emperor."
Ying Zheng handed the umbrella to the guard beside him.

The guard brought the umbrella in front of Sang Xu.

Ying Zheng said slowly: "Guming, you make a few copies of this umbrella."

Sang Xu took a look at the umbrella, it was really exquisite.

If it weren't for a master with more than ten years of experience, he would never be able to make such an umbrella.

After saying yes, he took the umbrella and stood up and exited slowly.

……

The next day, early morning.

It's time for the routine filing.

The entire court hall was silent.

Li Si glanced at the few people beside him, and stood up bravely.

"Your Majesty, now that we have been fighting for years, even though taxes have been raised, the treasury is still a bit tight, and some are unable to make ends meet...

The minister suggested that the military expenditure be reduced and the conscription be postponed. "

Seeing this, General Wang Li also stood up and said, "My minister seconded the proposal."
Ying Zheng's eyes instantly turned cold.

The two people in front of you.

One is the prime minister of the current dynasty, and the other is the general of Qin State who holds a heavy army.

If ordinary officials dared to say such things, Ying Zheng would have sent the two of them directly to prison, or beaten to death with sticks.

Seeing that Ying Zheng didn't speak, Li Si gritted his teeth and continued.

"Combined with the continuous famine in the past three years and insufficient food production, the price of food is now rising, and the people are full of complaints.

If Your Majesty does not reduce military spending, I am afraid it will arouse public anger..."
The officials below were in an uproar.

These two can be regarded as daring, dare to talk to His Majesty like this?
Meng Yi secretly sighed in his heart, it seems that today he will bear His Majesty's anger again.

It's not that no one has mentioned this kind of thing before.

It turned out that Ying Zheng directly ordered someone to pull him out and chop him up.

No one can persuade you!
This also led to the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty never daring to mention military expenditures.

Although, both of them are court ministers.

But if His Majesty gets angry, who can persuade him?

The other ministers also stared at the two, secretly worried.

If both of them are downgraded because of this matter, then no one will be able to persuade His Majesty.

In the coming year, the national treasury will be in short supply. Let alone beating the Xiongnu, I am afraid that even my own side will not understand.

And what it means for the national treasury to be short of money, everyone knows it well.

Even Zhao Gao, who was standing beside Shihuang, looked at the two with gloating face.

So what if he is a prime minister or a general?

If he really said the wrong thing, I'm afraid two heads are not enough to cut off!

These two people are really brave and foolhardy.

Now the world is recruiting soldiers, ready to take down the Xiongnu in one fell swoop.

How could His Majesty bear it when he chose to come out at this time to say frustrating words?

Zhao Gao turned his head cautiously and glanced at Ying Zheng.

I saw that Ying Zheng was still expressionless, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

But Zhao Gao had concluded that he was definitely angry.

It seems that these two people are doomed to die today.

Li Si and Wang Li at the bottom looked relatively calm on the surface, but they were already sweating profusely.

Dragons have inverse scales, and those who touch them die.

Matters like military spending and the army are His Majesty's injustice.

It's not that Li Si doesn't know.

But now the national treasury does not have much money. If it is not reported, it may be difficult to maintain it.

As Prime Minister Zuo, he had to do this.

Ying Zheng did not answer for a long time.

Li Si and Wang Li below also stood in place, not daring to move.

Both of them were waiting for Ying Zheng's reaction.

Ying Zheng's face was gloomy, and he was just about to reprimand, but he thought of the garrison system that the kid said earlier, and also remembered the behavior of the people in the royal city.

After pondering for a moment, he cleared his throat and said directly.

"This matter is easy to solve. I think we can use the garrison system. The army is half peasant and half soldier. It usually farms and drills. If a war comes, it can also go to battle to kill the enemy."
The ministers were stunned, they didn't expect His Majesty to have such a reaction.

Is this... a default?

After thinking about it again, everyone realized the beauty of it, and their faces were shocked.

This garrison system is simply a stroke of genius!
Li Si reacted first, and quickly said: "This plan is very good. If Your Majesty can implement this system, it will be a blessing to the people of the world, Your Majesty is wise!"
Although he didn't know why His Majesty suddenly changed his sex today.

But at this time, it is natural to boast a few words.

In addition, this system is indeed very novel.

Half soldier, half farmer.

It will not delay farming, and it can also solve the problem of the source of troops.

After all, the current Xiongnu and Nanyue are just eyeing each other and have not provoked a war.

For the most part, soldiers are training, waiting for war to come.

The so-called raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while.

The biggest expense is actually the daily maintenance of the army.

But right now, half-soldier and half-farmer can perfectly solve this problem.

Even if it cannot provide food and drink for the army, at least it can greatly reduce the pressure on logistics.

Wang Li also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this move is a great feat for the world."
Other ministers also echoed.

"It is the honor of all the people in Daqin to win His Majesty!"

"With His Majesty here, you can bless the Great Qin forever."

Shi Huang looked at the crowd below, with neither sadness nor joy on his face.

He has long been used to the flattery of everyone.

He really couldn't like this kind of mixed praise.

For a moment, he thought of the boy who gave the umbrella yesterday.

Although there was a slight dispute between the two, the child made him more comfortable than these people.

Compared with flattery, Ying Zheng hopes to hear content with substantive insights.

However, looking around the world, everyone is afraid of his identity and dare not tell the truth.

And in this court, there are naturally opposing voices.

But in the face of His Majesty the First Emperor, who dares to speak out the voice of opposition?

Right Prime Minister Feng Quji frowned secretly, feeling that this matter was a little unreliable.

Now is the time to attack Baiyue. If this new type of combat method is adopted, it is very likely to fail.

At that time, wouldn't the manpower and material resources invested for so many years be all in vain?

But no matter how much he complained, he didn't dare to speak out in person like Li Si and Wang Li.

This is what His Majesty mentioned.

He, Feng Quji, even if he was the right prime minister, how dare he raise objections?
Even when Shi Huang asked him what he thought, he even praised this mechanism.

After retiring from the court, Shi Huang left Li Si and Wang Li behind.

Prepare to talk about the garrison system in detail.

The other ministers looked at the two of them enviously.

This time, the two of them were lucky.

He actually got a chance to be valued by His Majesty for nothing!
All the ministers stepped forward to congratulate them.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two came to Zhangtai Palace.
