Daqin: Check in at the beginning of 18 and ask Zulong to abdicate

Chapter 423: The landlord's family has no food left

When everyone listens, you look at me and I look at you.

They all looked at Zheng He with puzzled expressions.

At this time, Ying Zigao, who had been silent all this time, smiled slightly.

Looking at Zheng He with great interest, he said, "Zheng Qing, come and explain to everyone! Hahahaha!"

As a time traveler, Ying Zigao naturally knew about this.

It was recorded in the Han Dynasty that the equally powerful empire in the west was called Qin.

Because in their eyes, Tianluo is the Qin of the West.

After all, many things Tianluo did were no different from those of the Great Qin Empire.

They are all to unify the world and unify their world.

Then unify the currency, language measurement size and so on and so on...

At this time, Zheng He smiled slightly, turned around, and continued to explain to the ministers behind him: "In the west, the Tianluo Empire is just like our Great Qin Kingdom."

"We are the Qin of the East, and they are the Qin of the West."

"That's right! One more thing, the Western Qin State is planning to send envoys. It is estimated that the envoys from the Western Qin will arrive in our Great Qin soon."

"At that time, if you have any questions, you can ask those Western Qin people! Hahahaha!"

Just as Zheng He finished speaking, Ying Zigao suddenly stood up.

Holding his wine glass high, he shouted to the civil and military ministers in front of him: "My loves, Zheng He is right."

"However, I still have something to say."

"What I want to say is..."

"In this world, there can only be one Great Qin!"

"This world is mine!"

"Is it the land of the king in the whole world! The shore of the land, is it the king's subject!"

"Where the sun and the moon shine, all belong to our Great Qin territory!"

Ying Zigao's domineering side leaked!
Stand tall on the high platform!
Immediately, he pulled out the saber from his waist and shouted loudly to the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs in front of him: "Why do you think I spend so much money? Let Zheng He go to the West?"

"Hmph! Zheng He's voyages took five years!"

"Five years ago, I spent more than half of the national treasury! For Zheng He's voyages!"

"Is it just to establish diplomatic relations with Western countries and open up business? Is it just to show off my great Qin State?!"

"No, you're all wrong! Hmph!"

"Know yourself and know the enemy, and you can win a hundred battles!"

"Now, we understand them, but they don't understand us yet."

"Sooner or later, we will have a war!"

"We will conquer Tianluo! Conquer the whole world!"

Most of the people present were civil servants.

Naturally do not know the horrors of war.

They only know that wars cost money.

When the treasury is empty, their salaries will be reduced.

Therefore, many people shook their heads and said, "Your Majesty, absolutely not!"

"Yes! Your Majesty! Don't be belligerent! Once the cannon is fired, you will be worth ten thousand taels of gold!"

"Please restrain your warlike heart, Your Majesty!"

"Now, my Great Qin has just conquered the Wa country, so I need Yang Jing to be weak!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Zheng He stood where he was, looking around blankly.

Unexpectedly, the Great Qin Kingdom today is completely different from what he remembered!
The emperor ordered the conquest of new territories, how dare anyone object?

When Yingzheng was in power, he said he wanted to fight, who would dare to say no?
It seems that in the past five years, these civil servants have lived too comfortably.

Thinking of this, Zheng He shook his head helplessly.

After a long time, Zheng He turned around, looked at Ying Zigao, bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty! I think what Your Majesty said is very true!"

"The people of the western barbarians are also people!"

"Your Majesty's actions are only to make this world no longer disputes! All nations in the world, serve one master, and they will last for a long time! The people live and work in peace and contentment!"

After finishing speaking, Zheng He turned his head to look at the civil and military ministers behind him, then cupped his hands and said, "My lords, though, once the cannon is fired, ten thousand taels of gold are worth it."

"But now, our Great Qin State is very powerful! On the way back to Xianyang, the officials also saw the normal life of many ordinary people."

"Now, my country, Great Qin, has completely realized industrialization by relying on steam engines. Our productivity has risen unprecedentedly! The morale of the common people has also risen unprecedentedly!"

"If we don't launch the great cause of unification at this time, when will we wait?"

"My Daqin has ironclad ships! I have an air force! I have steam trains and cannons! Rifles!"

"In front of those barbarians, we can do nothing!"

"Although the West Qin Kingdom is entrenched in the Mediterranean Sea, it is powerful!"

"Millions of soldiers! But I, Great Qin, only need an army of [-] to easily take down West Qin!"

"At that time, the two Qins will be unified! In a short time, our Great Qin Kingdom will be able to restore its former glory!"

At this time, the Minister of Rites stood up and said, "Hmph! Zheng He! I think you are confused!"

"You still want to fight?"

"Just now, you also said that Western Qin has millions of soldiers! But my Great Qin has only 50 troops! Even if we defeat Western Qin, how can we protect that land?"

"Hmph! The sky is high and the emperor is far away. At that time, there will be civil rebellions everywhere! The annual maintenance cost will be a huge expense!"

When Zheng He heard this, he shook his head and said, "Master Shangshu, please rest assured that the Western Qin Dynasty is very rich! Ivory is the gate, and gold is the land! If we take the Western Qin Dynasty, are we afraid that we will have no money?"

"Zheng He! I think you are confused!"

"Yeah! Zheng He! Are you crazy? If someone has money, it's not your money! What does it have to do with you how they spend their money?!"

"Your Majesty! Please think twice!"

"Yes! Your Majesty! You must never have a warlike heart!"

"Your Majesty! Our Great Qin is powerful! The country is vast and boundless! There is no need to continue to expand the territory!"

"This is of no help to us!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

At this time, the Minister of the Household Department also stood up and said: "Your Majesty! This year, although the national income is 9000 million taels of silver!"

"But you spent 500 million taels of silver in governing Wa Island!"

"Zheng He brought back 1000 soldiers from his voyage to the West! They all have to ask for rewards, right? In the past five years, the rewards for the [-] soldiers must not be less! The military salary owed in the past five years alone is [-] million taels. So much!"

"But we can't just pay the army's salary and finish the job! The soldiers of Daqin risked their lives and went to the ocean! They haven't returned to the country for five years!"

"Everyone, at least double the military pay as a reward! 40 taels per person, that's 400 million taels a year! Five years, that's 2000 million taels!"

"Excluding the salaries of state and county officials, the military pay of active soldiers, the appropriations of various departments, and the repair and maintenance of infrastructure, we will only have 2000 million taels left!"

"Your Majesty, the treasury is empty! If there is another war! The 2000 million taels will be exhausted quickly!"
