"That's right, now, my Great Qin's national strength seems to have been restored, but in fact it is far from enough."

"Inside and outside the court, most of the problems have not been resolved. It is a good time to take this opportunity to rectify the Chaogang. In less than ten years, my Daqin will surpass the past, even more than the past!"

Situ Feng, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, also stepped forward and echoed.

"Oh, do the two mistresses think so?"

Ying Shou frowned slightly, and said, "I don't know the other lovers, what do you think?"

As soon as Ying Shou finished speaking, Mo Shang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I also have the same idea. Thinking of me, Daqin, I have experienced countless wars, and I have already gone through thousands of miles."

"Right now, in this land of Yingdu, the aqueduct has just been repaired, and the reconstruction of Yingdu has not yet come to an end."

"This is a big project. Last night, it will take at least three years. The manpower and material resources consumed are prohibitive!"

As he said that, Mo Shang couldn't help but look at the emperor.

Chapter 468 Time Is My Own Fight

Ying Shou sat silently on the dragon seat, expressionless, as if listening carefully.

Seeing this, Mo Shang continued: "The reconstruction of Yingdu in three years is extremely fast, but within these three years, at least 20 people will need to rush to work day and night in Yingdu. And this is just one of my Daqin reconstruction projects. In terms of all the projects in Daqin, this is only one percent of the land."

"So, if we want my Great Qin to fully recover, it will take at least ten million people to work hard for three years before we can succeed!"

"Furthermore, the Ministry of War is also urgently recruiting a large army at the moment. The training of a large army cannot be accomplished overnight."

"It can be as long as ten years or eight years, and it can be as little as three or five years. Not to mention that my Daqin needs millions of troops to suppress my Daqin. In this way, within three years, I, Daqin must ensure that there is no war. OK."

"Thus, I feel that if the decision of the Huns has any influence on my Great Qin, it is only following my Great Qin's wishes!"

"I feel that if we have good relations with the Xiongnu this time, if we can stabilize the Xiongnu and avoid war, we should try our best to protect this armistice agreement!"

At the end, Mo Shang's expression was unprecedentedly solemn.

"Ai Qing finished?"

Seeing this, Ying Shou asked in a deep voice.

"The minister is finished!"

Mo Shang replied.

"Well, what Aiqing said makes sense. As the saying goes, each performs his duties and seeks his own affairs. If you follow Aiqing's thinking, what you said this time is not wrong, and it deserves rewards!"

"Yes, my Great Qin has experienced too many wars. There are thousands of miles of red land, and there are no tiles left. The people have no clothes to cover their bodies, and there is no food to eat. It can be described as desolate!"

"But I would like to ask, Mo Aiqing, can you say it again, there are thousands of miles of barren land, and there is not a single tile left. What is the reason why the people have no clothes to cover their bodies and no food to eat?"

Ying Shou smiled slightly, praised first, and then asked.

"War, hundreds of years, almost constant war!"

Mo Shang replied without the slightest hesitation.

"Oh, then, Aiqing, tell me again, how was my land in the Central Plains before the war?"

Ying Shou said again.

"In peaceful years, the world prospers, and the fortunes of the country prosper. Just like the Zhou rites prevailed before the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, and before that, the prosperity after His Majesty Shihuang ruled the world!"

Mo Shang continued to answer.

"Well, so it's the war that destroys all these good things, doesn't it?"

Ying Shou continued to ask with a smile.

"Why does His Majesty ask such a question?"

Mo Shang was puzzled, although the emperor didn't say it clearly, but he could clearly feel that the emperor seemed to be a bit contemptuous of his words.

"Aiqing, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that I disagree with Aiqing's statement. If I want the prosperity of the Great Qin Dynasty, domestic development must be the first priority."

"But just now Aiqing also said that before the war, my land in the Central Plains was prosperous and prosperous. In the final analysis, all good things will be destroyed by the war!"

"In that case, Aiqing, tell me, if we put in all our efforts to build the country well, the world will prosper."

"At this time, the Xiongnu have also quelled the chaos of all parties. Tell me, if they come to fight, will the prosperous Qin Dynasty that has been built so hard be destroyed overnight?"

Ying Shou waved his hand, and while speaking, his expression suddenly became serious.A cold light flashed across a pair of eyes.

Hearing this, Mo Shang trembled all over, and his face suddenly changed drastically.

On the side, Situ Feng, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Wu Hua, Minister of Rites, also changed their expressions, obviously feeling Ying Shou's dissatisfaction.

"My dear friends, I know that what you said is correct, and I also know that I have been educated by etiquette for generations in the Central Plains, and I am different from the barbarians of the Huns."

"They drink blood like hair, they don't care about human relations, but my Great Qin is different. My Great Qin loves peace and all good things. But there is one thing, I hope you will never forget!"

"There are always some people in this world whose ambition is greater than the sky. For the sake of ambition, they will do whatever it takes, even bloodbath. Because of the existence of these people, the war will never stop."

"And the Xiongnu Shanyu, Maodun, is such an ambitious and ruthless character. Do you think that he is now at all costs, even ceding land for peace, in order to give you a breathing space, and then integrate the country before attacking him?"

Ying Shou paused, looked at the appearance of the officials, with a sarcastic smile on his face.

I just heard him continue: "Why does my Great Qin go through the Spring and Autumn and Warring States for hundreds of years, and have declined several times, but it is dead and not dead?"

"Since Xiaogong, my Great Qin has been advancing all the way, sweeping all over the world, and unifying the world?"

"I'm telling you all, it's only because my ancestors of the Great Qin Dynasty, since Duke Xiao, have deeply understood a truth, an unreasonable truth, that is, if you don't beat others, just wait for others to beat you!"

"Back then, Duke Xiao cede the land to ask for peace, and suffered a lot of humiliation. Isn't the Wei State strong enough? It can be said to dominate the world, and all countries submit, but so what?"

"In the end, didn't his Wei State also be beaten like a bereaved dog by my Great Qin? Isn't Qi State strong enough in the future? Zhao State is strong enough in the future? Is Chu State strong enough in the future?"

"Everyone is staring at me, Daqin, but each one only knows how to covet small profits."

"I, Daqin, can't afford to offend them, so I'll compliment them. Looking back, I cleaned up all of them. Now, tell me, where are the nations?"

Having said that, the ministers were startled and looked at the emperor one after another, feeling short of breath.

Ying Shou shook his head and smiled, and said: "Remember, dear friends, I, Daqin, do not want to be reduced to the second state of Wei, the second state of Qi, the second state of Zhao and the second state of Chu. And this Xiongnu, I He must not be allowed to become our country of Qin!"

"Today, why didn't the Xiongnu dare to provoke me, Daqin? It's not that he is incapable of fighting, but because he can't draw his hand to fight. The opponent he is going to face now is Donghu. In addition to Donghu, there is also Loulan, and Yuezhi, etc. Dozens of small countries around the Huns!"

"Now, for a little profit, for a little respite, you let him continue to fight the Huns."

"When these countries are all destroyed, what will happen to Great Qin's establishment? The Xiongnu soldiers pointed out that the Great Qin that you have spent so much effort to build will be destroyed overnight."

"At that time, the home is not the home, the country is not the country, so what's the use of waiting so hard?"

"So, don't tell me how many years it will take to establish this Great Qin, and how long it will take to take a breath."

"Remember, opportunities are won by yourself, not by others. You need time, and I will fight for you."

"Ten years, 20 years, 100 years, I will give you all. But this time, the Huns must not let him give it to us, give us alms, understand?"

While speaking, Ying Shou slowly stood up from the dragon chair, looking out of the hall with extremely deep eyes.

Chapter 469 Ying Shou's Understanding of Maodun

"Your Majesty, in this way, you don't intend to agree to the Xiongnu's Yihe Agreement?"

The Minister of Rites stepped forward, cupped his hands and said.

"I agree, of course I agree. Wu Hua, I know that you are an important matter for Confucianism. Although I don't think that Confucianism is not enough to level the world, otherwise the world would have belonged to Lu State long ago."

"But now, I use Confucianism so much, do you know why?"

Ying Shou's eyes flashed, and he stared at Wu Huadao.

"Why?"

Wu Hua asked instinctively. As soon as he said the words, he immediately regretted it, but he couldn't take back what he said.

"I'll tell you why, because Confucianism can't level the world, but it can better govern the world for me."

"I like Confucianism, and I like Zhou Rites even more. My wars are fought against the world, and against the country, but wars can never win against human nature. Confucianism can do it, and Zhou Rites can do it."

"I help you destroy all ambitious people, and you must use your gifts to subdue the hearts of the world and establish a Taiping Heavenly Dynasty for me!"

"Because I observe etiquette, I should accept all peaceful proposals."

"Now, since the Xiongnu's Yihe agreement has been sent, how can I not agree to it?"

"Even if we want to fight in the future, let the Huns fight first. We are the teachers of justice. Don't destroy peace casually!"

While speaking, Ying Shou had an evil smile on the corner of his mouth, and Wu Hua was terrified when he saw it. He was full of civil and military affairs, and his heart trembled.

All of them suddenly had a feeling that the emperor's words sounded nice, but why did it sound like the words were a bit reversed?

"Zhang Sai listens to the order!"

At this moment, Ying Shou suddenly shouted.

"Zhang Sai is here!"

Zhang Sai walked out quickly.

"Remember, Zhang Sai. This time you go to the Xiongnu, first stabilize this Maodun. Then, for the sake of peace, we have to give this Xiongnu a certain chance."

"It's harmless to ask for something once in a while. Today he sent me thousands of miles of fertile grasslands. In the future, you can ask him for a few cities."

"If possible, it would be nice to ask for his royal court and give it to me as a palace!"

Ying Shou said with a smile.

As soon as this remark came out, Man Chao was shocked.

"Your Majesty, is this inappropriate? Doesn't it mean sending my Great Qin Envoy to Tiger's Mouth? Then the Xiongnu Shanyu got angry and had to eat the Great Qin Envoy!"

Even Zhang Liang couldn't stand anymore.

Although he knew that the emperor was trying to force the Xiongnu to take action, Zhang Sai was too dangerous to do so.

"That's right, Your Majesty, such an approach is inappropriate!"

Xiao He hurriedly cupped his fists and said.

Then, Di Renjie, Shusun Tong, and other ministers spoke one after another, and they all felt that such an approach was not feasible.

"Don't worry, dear friends, I am very pleased that you can worry so much about your colleagues in the court."

"But since I dared to speak, I guessed that the Huns would not dare to mess around, and Zhang Sai is not in danger."

"I can't help but there is no danger, and even most of the requests that Caizhen made just now, this Maodu still has to agree!"

Ying Shou waved his hands, and while speaking, he didn't talk nonsense, waved his sleeves, and said, "I've made up my mind, let's do it like this, retreat!"

After finishing speaking, Ying Shou turned around and left, leaving a group of courtiers looking at each other in blank dismay, wondering what the emperor was going to play.

It was really hard for them to imagine that Na Modu would agree to such a request, which was extremely humiliating.

But Ying Shou, who left, didn't think about it that way. After returning to the harem, he looked up at the sky and muttered to himself: "Modun, ah, you are known as a generation of heroes. Tell me, how much patience do you have?" How far has it come?"

Others don't know about Mao Dun, but Ying Shou knows very well that this is a person who is desperate for the overall situation.

According to historical records, when Maodun killed his father and ascended the throne, the Xiongnu were still relatively weak and were overwhelmed by Donghu.Actually it is.

According to historical records, Donghu attacked the Xiongnu in order to be justified, and he first performed rituals and then soldiers.

How to be courteous before soldiers?

Of course it is impossible for them to live in peace and depend on each other.

Instead, he wanted the Xiongnu to ask for gifts, like Ying Shou.

At first, Donghu Khan sent someone to ask Mo Dun for his father's Chollima.

At that time, the courtiers of the Huns were furious. It was a BMW obtained by Mao Dun after he killed his father Touman. How could he give it to others?

In the end, in order to stabilize Donghu, Mao Dun gave it.

The second time, Donghu Khan sent someone to ask for Maodun's Que family.

The Que family of the Xiongnu is equivalent to the queen of Daqin, that is, the queen of the Huns and the wife of Maodun.
