Liu San's eyes glowed, the entire Donghu tribe, at any rate, numbered 10 people, and there were no soldiers guarding the house?
Isn't this, the cattle, sheep and slaves on the entire grassland, let them take it?
Liu San immediately said: "Hurry up, hurry up and report to Xianyang to ask the master to send a caravan of [-] people over. Take these captives and war horses back along the way and hand them over to the defenders in Pingcheng. They will be sold at any price."
"Remember, you must not tell others this news, let the master send five thousand masters to rush here day and night, and I will wait here."
The people around him immediately started to take action, driving the slaves towards Pingcheng, while the messenger, one man and two horses, galloped out and headed towards Xianyang.
However, the nobles and merchants in Xianyang City knew about this a long time ago. According to the news from the court, they learned that the rebel Zhao Wangjia defeated the Donghu people and gathered [-] Donghu cavalry.
Moreover, Zhao Wangjia led the Donghu people to attack Yanmen County and Dai County of Daqin, and they were all beheaded by Daqin's cavalry, and only a few thousand people fled back to the grassland.
Previously, the fertile grassland to the north of Yanmen County and Dai County was once occupied by Donghu people. Donghu people were so cruel that no businessman dared to go there. , can only go to the territory of the Huns to fight the autumn wind.
This time, the fighting strength of the Donghu people was wiped out by the Qin people, and only the old, weak, sick and disabled were left on the grassland. Now if you go to the Donghu people's territory to grab something, it is simply taking, so why do you want to grab it?
As a result, the merchants and martyrs in Xianyang City went crazy. Groups of caravans drove an empty carriage full of hemp ropes and crossbow arrows, as well as those vicious followers, left Xianyang and headed for go north.
The soldiers inspecting at the gate of the city turned a blind eye when they saw the things in the carriage. , you can enter the city without a weapon.
These businessmen can get advanced weapons, which shows that the DPRK and China have agreed.
Xianyang Palace.
Qin Wang Yingzheng was having breakfast, a corn on the cob, a bowl of rice porridge, and a steamed potato.
These things are all scarce things, and they haven't been released yet. Only Qin Wang Yingzheng can eat them, and of course Zhang He's family also has them.
Hei Ying stood beside him, talking about what happened in Xianyang City in the past two days.
"The nobles of Xianyang City, after receiving the news, sent caravans out of the city one after another, and went to Donghu's territory to catch slaves..."
"The nobles and merchants have become rich after reselling slaves and items from the grassland in the past few years. They have dead soldiers in their homes, and there are more maids and handymen than the regulations."
"Among the civil and military officials, some have problematic styles and hang out in brothels. Some officials even have more than a dozen concubines at home, buy yards outside, and keep women privately..."
"The news from the Three Jins said that the local officials are very inactive, colluded with businessmen, and have begun to exploit the common people."
"Also, the refined salt transported from Rizhao Saltworks to Xianyang turned into coarse salt. After investigation, I found that the officials who were transported had changed."
……
boom!
Qin Wang Yingzheng listened to the investigation report of the leader of the Black Ice Platform, Hei Ying, and his expression became more and more ugly. In the end, he overturned the case directly, and the food on the case was scattered all over the floor.
Heiye hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted: "My lord, spare me, I deserve to die, I didn't stop these things early..."
"What do they want? Huh?"
"The widow has not yet ruled the world, are they thinking of overthrowing the widow's Great Qin?"
"Damn thing, there are dead soldiers at home, do you want to rebel?"
"It's ridiculous, it's extremely ridiculous, raising more than a dozen women, and buying a yard outside, raising other women, the widow's harem, there are not more than a dozen."
"Make a list and give it to Feng Jie, let him have a look, let him have a look, is this how he supervises the officials for the widow?"
"If you dare to reach out to the widow, aren't you afraid that the widow will chop off their hands?"
Qin Wang Yingzheng was so angry that his chest kept heaving. The world has not yet been brought down, and the widows have not started to enjoy themselves, but they have already started.
Really a good servant of the widow!
After a long time, Qin Wang Yingzheng asked indifferently: "Do generals dereliction of duty?"
Hei Ying lowered his head and said after a long time: "Yes!"
Yingzheng's face changed drastically, civil servants enjoyed themselves, corruption is not terrible, but generals are afraid of dereliction of duty.
The world has not yet been unified, and the generals will lose their blood. This is not a good thing.
At this moment, Ying Zheng stood up slowly, straightened Wei Wei'an's body, and asked coldly, "Who is it?"
Hei Ying's heart was pounding, do you really want to say it?
He was afraid that if he said it, he would lose a leg or an arm.
But in his life, he has been loyal to only one man, and this man is the King Qin Yingzheng in front of him.
"It's Chehou Zhang He."
Qin Wang Yingzheng turned around suddenly, looked at Hei Ying with sharp eyes, and was very puzzled in his heart, why is it Zhang He?
Jang Hyuk dereliction of duty, corruption, rebellion?
"what's the situation?"
Hei Ying breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that King Qin Yingzheng would kick him on the spot, because Lord Hou is the king's most trusted subject, and he is also the king's brother-in-law.
If I said so myself, I was suspected of framing, but that's how it happened, Zhang He was suspected of rebellion.
Chapter 513 Someone Started Making Trouble Again
"There are rumors in Xianyang City that Zhang He is self-respecting with his troops. The world only knows Zhang He, the Marquis of Che, and Zhang Tushen, but not the king of Daqin. Moreover, Zhang He has wealth that can rival the country. Conspiracy."
"There are countless disciples from Zhang He's miscellaneous family, and they even established the Daqin Royal Academy, Daqin Medical College, Daqin Agricultural College, and people from hundreds of schools, all of them are the leaders of Zhang He."
"In the court, Zhang He's influence spreads across various departments. Taiwei Yao Jia is Zhang He's long-term friend, Dianke Qing Dunruo is Zhang He's father-in-law, Li Si has been kind to Zhang He for saving his life, and Shang Qing's envoy Teng followed Zhang He to make a fortune."
"Among the generals, the Meng family, Meng Tian and Zhang He are brothers, Wang Jian and Wang Ben are friends with Zhang He, Li Xin is Zhang He's leader, Qiang Li, Yang Duanhe, Zhang Tang and others all worship Zhang He."
"The Great Qin cavalry, the heavy armored cavalry, and the heavy armored sword and axe, were created by Zhang He."
"The Liannu, the big crossbow, the kerosene, and the gunpowder were all presented by Zhang He..."
"In terms of agriculture, Zhang He also presented god-level crops such as potatoes, corn, and rice..."
"Salt, wine, sugar, most of them are controlled by Zhang He..."
Ying Zheng listened to Hei Ying's words with a faint smile on his face. After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Qing really contributed everything to Da Qin.
The widow only named him Chehou, which seemed to be treating him a little badly.
This time, he helped Daqin destroy the Yan Kingdom, and eradicated the remnants of the Zhao Kingdom by the way, which was another great achievement.
"Reward!"
"Black Eagle, listen to the decree. Zhang Qing has made great contributions to the Great Qin. This time, he destroyed the Yan Kingdom. He will be rewarded with a death certificate. As long as his descendants do not rebel and commit various mistakes, they will be saved from death."
The corner of Black Eagle's mouth twitched, and he knew it was the result, but he still had to tell the king the rumors in the market.
"By the way, what else is there about Zhang Qing?"
"There are rumors that Lord Hou ordered the beheading of the envoys of Jizi Hou who came to pay tribute to Xianyang in Yandi in the northeast this time, and supported the nobles of Yan to become the new King of Yan. rebellion."
"Okay, the widow knows."
"What about the rest of the generals? Is there any scandal?"
Hei Ying continued: "There are also rumors that General Li Xin, who was killed by the enemy to carry on the family line, may be recruited into the palace by the king to serve you, the king."
"Hmph, you shameless fellow, what is your intention to slander the courtiers in Xianyang City?"
Qin Wang Yingzheng turned indifferently, staring at the black eagle and said: "Didn't you realize that this is the enemy provoking you?"
As the leader of the Black Ice Terrace, Hei Ying didn't know that this was the enemy's scheme to drive a wedge between the king and the courtiers, but the rumors were too big, and spread throughout Xianyang City, even in the Three Jins. When he found out, he wanted to stop it. It was too late.
As the saying goes, good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.
"Chen, damn it, I have already investigated, but the matter has spread too widely to be stopped, and the source of the spread of rumors has also been unable to be found."
boom!
Black Hawk was kicked away.
"The widow raises you, feeds you, and clothes you. You can't even do this well. What use are you for?"
"The time limit is five days. If you can't find the source of the spread within five days, let's see you first."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely do it."
"Where's Zhao Gao, haven't you come back yet?" Ying Zheng asked with a frown. It's really inconvenient if Zhao Gao isn't around. With Zhao Gao around, Ying Zheng feels that things are much easier.
Hei Ying bowed his head and said: "There is no news from the CRRC government order, and the news was ten days ago, saying that they had broken through the Mohist mechanism city, but the mechanism city is very mysterious and dangerous, and the exploration is very dangerous. Few people……"
"Useless guy, what is gunpowder for, what kind of mechanism city, things that can be done with a pack of gunpowder, you have to use your life to pile up..."
"Send an order to let him finish the work as soon as possible, and come back to improve the writing with Li Si and others. This is the greatest thing in the world."
Unifying the scripts of the six countries cannot be left to Li Si and Tai Shi Ling Hu Wujing to complete. Ying Zheng knows that Zhao Gao also has good handwriting and is familiar with other countries' classics, which will be of great help in creating new fonts .
In particular, Zhao Gao is his man, and under Zhao Gao's supervision, the characters created are more in line with his requirements.
The black eagle retreated, Qin Wang Yingzheng stood in front of the window, lost in deep thought.
"Who is it that dares to frame Zhang He? Don't you really want to live?"
"It's really a good hand to let the widow cross the river and demolish the bridge, beheading his heroes, but you made the wrong idea, the widow trusts the widow's courtiers, Zhang He will never do anything to betray the widow."
"Even if he betrayed the widow, the widow is willing, the fault is the widow, the widow employs people improperly."
"The king of this world is not something everyone can do..."
Qin Wang Yingzheng turned around slowly, said with a sneer, "Change clothes, go to court!"
Today is the small court meeting, not the big court meeting. In the Zhangtai Palace, only the Sangong Jiuqing and several old generals were present. They were supposed to discuss the division of counties in Yandi today.
Prime Minister Wang Wan has returned to the court again, but he lives in fear every day. Now he sees everyone as an assassin, and he dare not let go of things.
Doing things is mainly about stability, so I want to retire in the position of prime minister in peace.
This also made Qin Wang Yingzheng very dissatisfied, seeking his own government in his position, as the prime minister of Great Qin, he should forge ahead, as a prime minister, you want to lie flat, how can the world be governed in that day.
After being interviewed twice, Wang Wan regained her confidence and began to prepare to compete with young people with great fanfare.
"Everyone, before your Majesty arrives, let's exchange opinions. How many counties do you think is most appropriate to set up in Yandi?"
"The old man will talk about his own opinion first."
"The old man thinks that it is most appropriate to set up five counties. With Yuyang as the center, establish Yuyang County; with Yanxia Wuyang in the south as the center, establish Yishui County; with Jicheng as the center, establish Ji County; finally, establish Liaoxi County. , Liaodong counties."
After listening to Wang Wan's thoughts, Yao Jia said with a smile: "It seems that the prime minister has done a lot of work, but the old man thinks that the land occupied by Donghu in the north of Yan Great Wall should also be established as a county. , called Yanbei County, east of Liaodong County, there is still a large area, and there should be a county in the future, called Chosun County, what do you think?"
Li Si frowned, Yandi is such a big territory, you only set up three or five counties, can you manage it?
Li Si started from the bottom, and he knew the difficulties of low-level officials. If he didn't get it right, his strides would be too big, and he would make trouble.
"My lords, I feel that there are too few people. Although Yandi is said to have a small population, it has a very vast territory and sparse population. For the officials below, it is even more difficult to manage and cannot be uploaded. When it is conveyed level by level, the day lily will be cold."
Ye Teng glanced at Li Si, stepped forward and said, "I think Li Fengchang's words are reasonable, I would rather have a few more counties, and don't let the delivery of government orders be hindered by time."
Xiong Dian, who has always been a transparent person, stood up this time and said with a smile: "Li Fengchang, envoy Ye Nei, I think that the Prime Minister and the Taiwei are justified, and the laws of the Great Qin stipulate that when the population reaches the size of a place, According to the meaning of the two, this is inconsistent with the laws of Daqin."
"If counties are divided according to region, wouldn't Chu be divided into dozens or hundreds of counties?"
Li Si frowned, Xiong Qi, why did he suddenly jump out and confront him today?
Although it is reasonable to do so, it does not comply with the laws of the Great Qin, but special circumstances must be treated specially.
Yandi is too far away from Xianyang, and it has just been conquered. Since ancient times, Yandi has a strong folk customs and is not easy to manage, so it is necessary to set up more counties.
As soon as Feng Jie, the imperial censor, was about to speak, Qin Wang Yingzheng walked in with a dark face and closed his mouth decisively. Everyone also looked at the king. Seeing the king's appearance, someone started to make trouble again.
Chapter 514 Xiong Dian sacrificed the knife to the King of Qin and stabbed the nobles
After King Qin Yingzheng came to Zhangtai Palace, he sat behind the case table with a cold face and said nothing, and then looked at the brachial ministers below.
Everyone stood up and shouted: "The king is forever!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, then stopped talking and looked at the courtiers below with sharp eyes.
Everyone felt that the king's eyes looked like knives, and their necks were chilled.
The hall was very quiet, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't dare to speak.
In the end, everyone unanimously turned their eyes to Prime Minister Wang Wan.
Wang Wan's heart was cold and cold. This group of sinister guys usually shouted louder than anyone else. When it came to the critical moment, let him speak. If you speak at this time, the king will be used as a punching bag, but who will let him be the prime minister?
Wang Wan stood up slowly, glanced at King Qin Yingzheng, with a smile on his face, and said, "Your Majesty, the Sangong and Jiuqing have discussed in private about the division of Yandi County..."
Before Wang Wan could finish speaking, she was interrupted by King Qin Yingzheng.
