Daqin started with offering immortal medicine

Even if he really said that, Meng Tian probably wouldn't believe it, and maybe he would think that Li Yang was teasing him.

At this time, Li Yang also thought of something, and asked: "By the way, General Meng, what do you think about Your Majesty's struggle for hegemony?"

Meng Tian said: "Your Majesty has made great achievements in unifying the six kingdoms, surpassing the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Now, Your Majesty wants to unify the world and show off the might of our Qin army. We, the civil and military ministers, are all excited to hear that. Your Majesty is right. , if we can plant the black black flag of Qin State all over the world, not only your majesty's achievements will be unparalleled before, but also our civil and military officials will be famous in history. opportunity!"

When Meng Tian talked about this topic, he seemed very excited and excited, as if he had a passion and couldn't wait to lead thousands of troops to sweep the earth.No, it's Qin Qiu.

Hearing these words, Li Yang became even more worried.

Thinking of the passionate scene of the courtiers in the morning, Li Yang finally understood why none of them opposed the struggle for hegemony, because now that the Great Qin has unified the six kingdoms, there is no chance to make contributions.

Can you be promoted to a title by relying on governing the country?Can you become a Marquis?

Obviously, it is impossible.

It is even more impossible to leave a name in history.

Only by opening up the territory and expanding the territory can we establish unworldly achievements, be able to be named princes and generals, and be able to pass on the name through the ages.Isn't that what people live for the rest of their lives?

And this time the emperor wants to fight for hegemony in the world, which is the opportunity everyone has been waiting for for a long time.

Especially for military generals like Meng Tian, ​​this is a great opportunity for them to return to the center of power. After all, they have not fought in these years. In this court, the warriors are all standing aside and have no right to speak, because they don't know how to govern the world of learning.

And once the emperor wants to continue to expand the territory, the people in the army can regain the right to speak in the court.

Knowing that it is impossible for the officials to oppose the struggle for world hegemony, Li Yang then asked: "Will the soldiers at the bottom also support it?"

Meng Tian smiled: "Prime Minister, you don't know anything. Why is my Qin army invincible and sweeping across the six countries? It's all because of the military merit system of my Qin country. The soldiers are all looking forward to fighting and making meritorious deeds, so how can they not support it? "

Speaking of this, Meng Tian said with deep meaning: "To tell the truth, the last time I went back to the South to quell the chaos, I was robbed of merit by the Prime Minister. The soldiers in the army are all very angry."

Hearing this, Li Yang couldn't help but smile wryly. It seems that Qin Shihuang wants to fight for world hegemony. This is not only the desire of the civil and military officials in the court, but also the wish of the soldiers below.

But it’s also true to think about it. Today’s Qin State has not started the imperial examination system. If the people at the bottom want to get rid of the fate of the bottom and change their lives, the only hope is to make military achievements.

Because the way to become an official in Qin State is to open up fields and defeat the enemy, and defeating the enemy is the main way.After the unification of Qin Dynasty, most of the officials were out of military merit.Civil servants are mostly out of military merit, so civil servants are not opposed to fighting, which is also a major reason.

This is like, under the later imperial examination system, it is a truth that talented people all over the world study hard, because reading can pass the imperial examination to achieve the goal of getting ahead.

But in the Qin State, military merit is the only way to get ahead, and fighting in wars is naturally sought after by the people at the bottom.

To put it bluntly, if there is no war, the people at the bottom will lose the hope of being promoted. Only by fighting can there be hope in life.

"Prime Minister Zhong, don't you support His Majesty's ambition to fight for hegemony?"

Seeing Li Yang's wry smile, Meng Tian asked curiously.

Li Yang naturally did not dare to say that he did not support it, and said: "The truth is that His Majesty is too impatient, and it is not yet time to fight for world hegemony!"

Meng Tian nodded: "Indeed, as the Prime Minister of China said in the court hall, if you want to go on an expedition, you must go to the Western Regions, so right now you need to send more than 20 countries including the Xiongnu, Donghu, Qiang, Yuezhi, Loulan, Wusun, and Hujie. Clean it up so that you can plan your expedition with peace of mind."

"General Meng thinks that the countries in the Western Regions can be wiped out in a few years?" Li Yang asked curiously.

Meng Tian pondered for a while, stretched out a palm, and said: "Five years, with the strategy of national integration given by you, Prime Minister, it only takes five years, and the four barbarians on the frontier should be completely wiped out."

"Five years?"

Li Yang muttered, it seems that there is not much time left for him to develop his national power!

In five years, can guns be made?

In five years, can advanced warships be built?

Li Yang doesn't have much confidence in this. He only knows that the matter is getting more and more urgent, and he has to hurry up to make Qin country develop rapidly and comprehensively. The smallest price, in exchange for victory.

…………

After chatting with Meng Tian about going to the Xiongnu as an envoy, Li Yang said goodbye to Meng Tian and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As soon as I returned to the mansion, I saw Xiao He, Cao Can, Zhang Cang, Li You, Fu Su and others gathered in the Xiangfu waiting for me.

"My lord, the integration of the five strategies presented in the court today is simply unprecedented, and there will be no one in the future. If the prime minister had entered the court a few years earlier, it is estimated that your majesty would not have had to build the Great Wall. Your lord's ingenuity is really shocking, weeping Ghosts, gods, officials and others are all overwhelmed!"

Xiao He, Cao Can, and Zhang Cang started flattering as soon as they saw Li Yang.

Not to be outdone, Li You praised: "Are you just overwhelmed by your lord's ingenuity? I have already been full of admiration for Prime Minister Zhong."

Xiao He smiled: "It's the same with us. The admiration for your lord can't even be described by the torrential river and the flood of the Yellow River."

When Li You and Fu Su heard this, they were unhappy, because the torrential river and the flood of the Yellow River were the two of them who often talked about their admiration for Li Yang. Now that Xiao He said that, wouldn't it mean that Does it mean that they admire Li Yang more than themselves?

At the moment, Li You was very dissatisfied, but he couldn't think of a better word to describe his admiration, so he said: "In short, I have a little more admiration for Prime Minister Zhong than you."

Fusu said: "I am the same."

Xiao He and the others: "..."

Li Yang: "..."

These guys are getting worse and worse.

but……

I like it!

Li Yang smiled in satisfaction, very happy, and said to everyone: "Low-key, low-key, you must learn to be low-key."

Everyone nodded, Li You said innocently: "We also want to keep a low profile, but the strength of adults does not allow it!"

Li Yang almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

If it weren't for Li You's knowledge not out of the level of this era, Li Yang would have wondered if this guy would also be a friend who traveled through time.

"Is there something wrong with you two?"

Li Yang rolled his eyes and asked Li You and Fu Su.

Fusu said: "Your Excellency asked me to search for sculptors in Xianyang City. I have already done this. Now more than 200 craftsmen are building the Shaofu. He Zhang asked the students to come and ask the Taifu what to do next." Do?"

Li Yang nodded, turned to look at Li You: "What about you?"

Li You: "I heard that my lord is going to make new inventions again. Last time, the paper-making officials were not able to participate. This time...hehe, the officials also want to follow you to make inventions together."

Well, this guy is here to make a name for himself.

Li Yang asked Xiao He and the three of them again: "Then what about you? What's the matter?"

Xiao He seemed to be thinking about his business at this moment, and he couldn't help but said anxiously: "My lord, the textbook has already been edited, but I haven't seen the person who ordered the copying, and I was already in a hurry, so I had no choice but to come directly. I'm looking for you."
