Daqin: Robbing Qin Shihuang at the beginning

Chapter 172

Kunwu looked at Ying Qi for a long time, and then said: "Since the young master is like this, then I will not be polite. We will go to Zhenggangou to check the account books tonight, and I hope the young master will not stop you."

"Don't worry, don't stop me, just go." Ying Qi said indifferently.

Kun Wu frowned, and retreated after thinking for a long time.

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Qi's behavior a little strangely, but didn't say anything.

"At present, the printing task of the first batch of books has been completed and can be put into use at any time."

Ying Qi watched Kun Wu go down and changed the subject.

Ying Zheng nodded, "How is the academy going?"

"It's almost there, but I suddenly feel that the scale is a bit small. It may only be able to study for those who are of a similar age, that is, students with weak crowns. Those who are younger may not have a place to settle. Therefore, I suggest that a second courtyard be built in the outer city. Storage."

Li Si frowned and walked out.

"My lord, there is nothing wrong with your suggestion, but the money for building the academy..."

"I'm out!" Ying Qi interrupted without waiting for Li Si to finish speaking.

Li Si pursed his lips and stepped back.

He also has nothing to say, after all, building an academy is indeed a good thing.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you arranged for General Feng Jie to lead an army of 30 to the West Ou Kingdom a few days ago. Of course, I am sure of General Feng Jie's strength, and your Majesty's vision is beyond doubt. But now I General Meng Tian of Great Qin in the northwest is leading an army of [-] to confront the Huns, and General Gao Changgong in the southeast is leading an army of [-] to attack Lingnan, and now he has arranged for General Feng Jie to lead the army to counter the rebellion in the south. The third front may be somewhat..."

The speaker was Shu Suntong, a well-known scholar.

Ying Zheng glanced at Shusun Tong, then at Ying Qi, and Ying Qi took it out knowingly.

"My lord, you may have misunderstood it. It's not about fighting on the third front, but about national stability."

"My lord, you are joking. Now that the three armies are fighting outside, isn't that considered a third-line war?" Shusun Tong smiled disdainfully, "Military is not one plus one equals two. The third-line war consumes a lot of national power. , First of all, it is the food, grass, logistics and personnel supplies, one road is southeast and the other is northwest, which spans the entire Great Qin."

"One supply line cannot be used, which means greater loss, and His Majesty is paying attention to three wars at the same time, so it's too much to do at the same time."

Ying Qi smiled and said, "I said, there is no war."

"Do you know what's going on in the northwest now? General Meng Tian didn't expel much effort in expelling the remnants of the Huns in the Hetao area. He was only blocked when he crossed the river, and there is still a confrontation. Where the troops are placed is not where they are placed." , as a garrison, isn’t that normal?”

"Furthermore, in the southeast direction, General Gao Changgong can easily deal with those Xiaoxiaos? Then he cooperates with General Feng Jie to return to aid Xiou Kingdom, that's a matter of convenience."

Shu Suntong frowned, "Master, there is no such reason. I know that you trust your general, but no one knows his real strength. If you want to win Lingnan, then Ren Xiao, Wei Tuo and others With the general’s assistance, it’s really possible, but Xi’ou is different.”

"They are deep in the mountains and dense forests, and they are familiar with the terrain. If there are not enough people, there is nothing they can do."

Ying Qi sneered, too lazy to continue talking.

"Wait for the facts to hit you in the face."

On the other side, Gao Changgong and his army had just arrived in Chudi, a place called Yunmengze, and they camped to rest.

A man in white on a fast horse quickly caught up with the army. Seeing the capitalized Qin character on the black flag, Li Bai smiled.

"Starry night and half a month's journey, I finally caught up."

……

That night, Kunwu actually pestered Ying Qi to follow him back to Zhenggangou. Naturally, Ying Qi felt that there was nothing wrong, so he went back along the way.

Kunwu looked at Ying Qi's strange performance, and was a little suspicious. He had heard that this son Qi liked to beat people. What if he found something tonight and was killed by him...

The more I think about it, the more possible it becomes!

He quietly approached the attendant's ear.

"If I haven't returned at noon tomorrow, you can go to Shangqing Meng Yi. He will ask the sword one day and will avenge me."

The attendant gave Kun Wu a deep look, then nodded heavily, and left the team.

Ying Qi smiled disdainfully when he saw this scene.

"Do it, it's all flattering you."

According to the corresponding process, Kunwu also felt a sense of trance when he saw the gate of Zhenggangou. How sure is this not the imperial palace?
Kun Wu looked at Ying Qi with a little surprise, and then became extremely firm.

It must be greedy, otherwise where would the money come from to build such a large city gate?

Kunwu has made up his mind, and must investigate carefully, otherwise, I am really sorry for His Majesty's trust and son Fusu's benevolence!

Ying Qi brought Kun Wu to a room. Although he came to find trouble, the corresponding etiquette is still indispensable.

He deliberately found a quiet place for these people, of course, it was far away from Ying Qi, otherwise they would be annoyed all night.

"There are... so many ledgers?"

Kun Wu looked at the brocades that Ying Qi's subordinates listed in front of him, and said in surprise.

Ying Qi nodded nonchalantly, "This is the account book after my father and I joined forces. If you want to see the previous one, you can't see it."

Kun Wu nodded, it didn't make sense for him to read it before.

He flipped open a book casually, and fell into a deep shock instantly.

"This is……?"

What came into view was a large portrait with text notes on it.

"Our great prince of Qin, the future leader of Qin, the inventor of papermaking, the inventor of printing, the inventor of cement, the first proponent of science, the leader of the times, the good officer of the people, has saved the emperor from peril many times The man—the great Ying Qi! (pictured below)”

Ying Qi glanced at it, and quietly took back the book.

"I got it wrong. The one above is what I usually read. Look at the ones below. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to mention that as Zhenggangou's first account book was investigated by the government, I will specially arrange for an artist to come document this historic event."

Kun Wu nodded. He was not aware of the dangers of society at all at the moment. He might never imagine what kind of image he would appear in the book.

Opening a ledger, Kun Wu frowned.

"Why is food so expensive that it costs one gold per stone?"

"Don't you know the price of food? Don't you know how to calculate it yourself?" Ying Qi laughed.

"It's not right according to the price of food!" Kun Wu's eyes lit up, as if he had discovered something.
