And how huge is the amount of food and grass used for an expedition of 100 million troops?

These Liang Chaos need at least several 10 people to transport them non-stop every day, batch after batch.

That is to say, hundreds of thousands of nearly a million manpower were put into transporting grain and grass.

As a result, almost two-fifths of the people in Daqin could not participate in farming, and the 600 million people had to rely on the remaining 400 million old and weak women and children to work day and night.

Even if you have a Bashu granary, there is absolutely no room for waste.

As for the unification of the six countries, although the land is larger and there are more people farming, there are more people who need to be supported.

At this time, it is necessary to send troops to Baiyue, not to mention the long distance, and the inability to transport food and grass is even more troublesome.It can be said that the people who transport the food and grass eat ten times as much food as the army. This concept can be imagined.

Chapter 812

After Shang Yang's reform, everyone said that the Great Qin was rich, but in fact, the wealthy Great Qin that everyone envied, the soldiers said that there was no military pay.Only after making meritorious deeds slowly and obtaining the title of title can one get the opportunity to eat salary.

Before obtaining the title, almost all of what everyone wore and used came from home.Only weapons are distributed by the state, and food is distributed by the state.

Among them, each soldier only has more than 30 catties and [-] catties of grain per month.

Think about it, soldiers who fight desperately only have so little food every month.

The folks who transported the grain and grass had a difficult journey, and the grain they used was at least five times that of the soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty.

Every sum of this is an expense, and no matter how full the national treasury is, it will not be able to bear it.

Especially in order to attack Baiyue and build the Lingqu, it took a lot of manpower and material resources, just to transport food.

Later, in order to deal with the Xiongnu, Donghu and others built the Great Wall, but also built thousands of kilometers of channels.

This is compared to the highways of later generations. How much manpower and material resources are needed in this age when even iron is not familiar?

These are just the tip of the iceberg consumed during the period of the first emperor, and there are other various roads, water canals, various plank roads comparable to the plank roads in Bashu, and the establishment of the Qinhuang Mausoleum, etc.

This countless consumption is really too much, so much that if you don't pay attention, the whole Daqin will be sucked up.

Faced with such consumption, how can the king continue to waste?

Therefore, for a long time, the kings of Daqin were very frugal, and the subjects were also very frugal.They have completely achieved the pinnacle of the word thrift.

In Ying Shou's hands, what he took over was a dilapidated mess, not to mention squandering, it would be nice to have a bite to eat.

Now, this mess has regained some vitality, but he has more problems to face, and he cannot afford to waste it.

In addition, he doesn't like waste, so his meals can be exquisite or delicious, but never too much.Because there is too much to eat.

Even if sometimes there is too much to eat, he will reward the eunuchs below to prevent waste.

What was placed in front of Ying Shou at the moment was a very simple two dishes and one soup, one fried shredded potato, one fried meat, and one spicy soup.

This seemingly simple meal, in fact, is difficult for ordinary families to enjoy on weekdays.

Ying Shou picked up a bowl of steamed corn rice from crushed corn, put the dishes on the table, and started to eat.

The speed at which he ate was neither fast nor dissatisfied.

His appetite is also very good, Yinyue seems to have measured it specially.

After eating all these meals, I was just full, not too much, not too little.

The palace maid brought mouthwash, Ying Shou had just finished rinsing, someone came to report immediately, saying: "His Majesty the Emperor, Donghu envoy Jun Wuyou has been summoned, and is waiting outside to be summoned!"

Ying Shou nodded and said, "Let him in!"

The guard made a promise, turned and left immediately.

"Take it!"

Yinyue got up, put away the utensils for holding vegetables and rice, and handed it to the maid beside her.

"promise!"

The palace maid responded and left directly with the utensils.

Yinyue came behind Ying Shou and continued to stand quietly.

She knew very well that since the emperor didn't let her leave, even if he wanted her to stay on purpose, she could only stand behind the emperor and listen quietly to the next conversation.

As soon as this side was cleaned up, Jun Wuyou also came from outside the Tianchi Palace under the leadership of the guards on the other side. From a distance, Jun Wuyou hurriedly cupped his hands, and came quickly with his body, walking in front of Ying Shou, Immediately knelt down to pay homage, and said: "Your Majesty Caomin has no worries, I kowtow to His Majesty the Emperor, long live long live Your Majesty!"

With a flash of Ying Shou's eyes, he found that Jun Wuyou was wearing Daqin Central Plains costumes at the moment, with wide sleeves, long clothes, and cross collars.

Not to mention, wearing this suit of clothes on him actually gave off an imposing, gentle and refined feeling, like a refined gentleman.

Seeing that he is young, maybe not as old as himself, but his demeanor is surprising.

In particular, his set of audience etiquette is simply more perfect than that of other great Confucians, without any flaws, as if he himself is a great sage of Confucianism.

"You call yourself a grassroots man and call me my emperor?"

Ying Shou sized Jun Wuyou up and said indifferently.

"Report to His Majesty the Emperor, the Caomin is originally the descendant of Yanhuang, the orthodox bloodline of the Central Plains, His Majesty the Emperor is naturally the emperor of the Caomin, the Caomin ask themselves, there is no disrespect in calling me the Emperor!"

"Furthermore, grassroots people have no official titles or titles in their home country, so of course they can only call themselves grassroots!"

Jun Wuyou threw his body to the ground, bowed his head and said.

"Oh, then have you forgotten your other identity? You are an envoy of Donghu, an important minister of Donghu who dares to show off his power in front of me."

"I've also heard that Mr. Wuyou is even planning a chariot for Donghu, planning to let Donghu and the Xiongnu divide the world of Qin. Is there such a thing?"

Ying Shou pretended to be surprised and said coldly.

"Your Majesty is serious. The grassroots are ordinary people who are born to love fame and fortune. For the sake of fame and fortune, they have indeed made two plans for the Great Qin Dynasty. This is true."

"Furthermore, it is true to say that Cao Min is now an envoy of the Eastern Hu, but if you say that Cao Min is an important minister of the Eastern Hu, this is wronging Cao Min, and I hope His Majesty will strictly investigate!"

Jun Wuyou still lay on the ground, solemnly speaking.

"Even Donghu has accepted your advice. Your status in Donghu is not important enough? Now that you are a minister of Donghu, but you want to call me my emperor, don't you think this is a kind of betrayal to Donghu?"

Ying Shou sneered and said again.

"Your Majesty has said too much. Cao Min is a person who loves fame and fortune, yes, but Cao Min is also a serious businessman."

"Businessmen, with a good reputation to gain profits, sometimes it is unavoidable to bear a bad reputation, but this does not mean that a businessman who bears a bad reputation is not a serious businessman!"

"Caomin asked himself, although he is making suggestions for the enemy country, but in fact, why is he not making suggestions for the emperor of the mother country?"

"Caomin has only one mother country in this life, and only one emperor to whom he can be loyal. Caomin is a layman, and there is nothing wrong with keeping interests in his eyes, but how can Caomin forget to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country?"

"It doesn't matter if others misunderstand Cao Min, but Cao Min believes that His Majesty the Emperor can understand Cao Min!"

Jun Wuyou spoke again, and said solemnly: "Caomin Jun Wuyou, share your worries and solve my emperor's problems!"

Ying Shou's eyes flashed, and this conversation made him breathe a long sigh of relief.

In these words, he got the answer he wanted, and also got the answer that made him feel at ease.

Today in the temple, he just saw Jun Wuyou for the first time, but Ying Shou was very surprised by Jun Wuyou's ability.

When all the officials in the court were angry with Jun Wuyou, he was the only one who felt happy and worried.

The joy is that he likes this Jun Wuyou so much, this Jun Wuyou is simply in line with his requirements.What is worrying is that if this person is used by me, he will definitely help me sweep the world and conquer the world.But once it is used by the enemy, it will definitely become a disaster for the Great Qin and it will be difficult to deal with!

Chapter 813 Troubleshooting

In Ying Shou's mind, this Jun Wuyou is a villain, a villain who can't forgive others, and specializes in turning right and wrong into black and white.

The difference between him and a gentleman is that a gentleman knows when enough is enough, but he swears not to give up until he reaches his goal, even if he does something that everyone condemns, he is obliged to do so.

Perhaps in the eyes of some people, such a person is disgusting, but when the water is so clear, there are no fish. The Daqin Temple is too clear, so it needs such a turbid thing.

A gentleman cannot defeat a villain. A gentleman has the usefulness of a gentleman, and a villain also has the usefulness of a villain.Only with a broad mind and knowing how to employ people is the way of the king.

Just now, what Ying Shou has been thinking about is actually about Jun Wuyou.Is this person an enemy or a friend?

If he was an enemy, why did he write those words on the so-called national letter, and to put it bluntly, although Jun Wuyou today is infuriating, what he did was to help himself go on that road. took a step forward.

This can be understood as he is helping the Donghu and the Huns, but why not helping himself?

It's fine if Jun Wuyou didn't intend to help him, but if he did it on purpose, then he is really terrible.

The conversation with Jun Wuyou at this moment has thoroughly verified all the thoughts in Ying Shou's mind.

This person is a friend!

This person did it on purpose!

This person is terrifying. In the future, he will surely become the biggest nightmare of all the countries in the world, and he will also become an invincible and omnipotent sword in his hands, sweeping the world for himself and making great achievements in everything.

"Share worries for you, solve problems for me!"

Ying Shou muttered to himself, suddenly, he smiled, and said, "Tell me, how you plan to share your worries for the king, and how you plan to solve my problems!"

Jun Wuyou was still lying on the ground, his body cast down, and he didn't dare to get up without the emperor's order.

Facing the emperor's question, he did not answer immediately, but said: "Your Majesty, can the grassroots get up?"

Ying Shou's eyes sharpened, and he said coldly, "Why, you're ready to negotiate terms before you start to solve my problems?"

Jun Wuyou hurriedly said: "No, Your Majesty, it's just that this person can't even move his hands and feet, so how can he serve His Majesty?"

"If you want to solve your majesty's worries and problems, you have to give your majesty the opportunity to use his hands and feet to the grassroots, to let go of his voice and talk, to let his hands and feet stand tall!"

Jun Wuyou's words sounded like he was complaining, with a slight sense of grievance, but Ying Shou's eyes lit up when he heard it in Ying Shou's ears.

These words are vulgar and disgusting.

After all, in front of the emperor, who would dare to complain that the emperor made him kneel uncomfortable?At least in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, anyone who knows a little bit of etiquette dare not complain.

Even as long as the emperor didn't do something outrageous or make some small mistakes, those courtiers would do everything possible to resist the emperor's infamy, and then deal with the consequences of this incident at all costs.

As for what the emperor really wanted to do, even if those courtiers knelt down to death, they would kneel until the emperor changed his mind and corrected his mistakes.

What is the way of loyalty to the emperor?

This is the way of loyalty!

In Yingshou's temple, there are a lot of courtiers like this, except for shameless people like Jun Wuyou, which can be said to be unique.

But if you change your mind, you have to admit that Jun Wuyou's words are very reasonable.

The so-called rules, of course, have to be there, after all, there is no such thing as a circle without rules.But sometimes, it's not very good to be too strict with the rules.

The rules themselves constrain people. Under the constraints of the rules, many people have completely lost all autonomy, just like a machine, they can do what they should, and they can never do things beyond their own scope.

This type of person is a person who is bound by rules.

To put it more bluntly, a person who has been instilled with etiquette since childhood, one day, a thing that violates benevolence, righteousness and morality comes before him, and he must do it, or he will die if he does not do it.As a biological instinct, I believe that the first reaction is to desperately save your life.

But the rules of a gentleman's etiquette will make this person fall into endless difficult choices, and many people may choose to give up their lives in the end.

Such people can never escape life.They have a name called gentleman, and they also have a saying called pedantry.

But Jun Wuyou is different, he doesn't care about such rules at all Uncle, just like what he said in these words, if you don't let go, stick to the emperor's rules, how can you solve the emperor's worries and problems?

"Jun Wuyou, you are still the first person who dares to speak to me like this, come on, Pingshen, I want to listen to your words today!"

Ying Shou shook his head and smiled, and said in a deep voice.

"promise!"

Jun Wuyou kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor!"

As he spoke, he stood up slowly, and said with a smile, "I don't know where Your Majesty wants to hear from?"

Ying Shou squinted at him and said, "Let's start with what happened today. You are the only person in history who dared to humiliate me and Daqin like this in front of me."

"Today, I want to see, what kind of worries and difficulties have been solved for me by this humiliation you brought!"

Jun Wuyou grinned, and said: "Hahaha... Your Majesty's question makes it difficult for grassroots people to answer!"

Ying Shou's eyes turned cold, and he said, "What's wrong with answering? Or do you have no answer at all?"
