I Built the Xianqin Multiverse Empire

Ying Zheng shouted softly.

"The minister is here."

Li Si hurriedly trotted from the side, hunched over.

In his early years, he was a county official, and he learned the art of emperors from Xunzi. After completing his studies, after arriving in the Qin state, Li Si tried his best to approach the king of Qin.

He first sought refuge with Lu Buwei, the most powerful courtier in Qin, hoping to meet the King of Qin through Lu Buwei.

He thought it would take a long time to see Ying Zheng show his talents, but he didn't expect Ying Zheng to suddenly announce him to the palace, and he was very happy, thinking that Ying Zheng had heard of his talents from where.

"If you are alone to lobby the six countries with gold and jade, and divide the rulers and ministers of various countries, can you do it?"

Suddenly being entrusted with an important task, Li Si took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and thought for a moment: "This minister can do it."

"how long."

"One year."

"very good."

Ying Zheng nodded: "If you do what you do to satisfy Gu, wait for you to return to Qin State, and let you be a guest of honor. The position of Tingwei of Great Qin is now vacant. If you can achieve the best results, Tingwei will also Not impossible."

"Since you are so confident, you will set off tomorrow, receive ten thousand gold, and let the six sword slaves guard you."

This pie that fell from the sky completely smashed Li Si. He thought that this attack could get a long history position, but he didn't expect to have the opportunity to become a guest minister and a court official.

Guest ministers are usually granted to non-nationals and serve as officials in their own countries. They are of high rank and can go directly to the king.

And Tingwei is one of the nine emperors. If he can be Tingwei, he has to go back to see if the ancestral tomb is smoked.

But soon, Li Si became sober. The premise of Ying Zheng was that he did a good job and achieved the effect of alienation. If he did not do well, I am afraid that not only would he not be rewarded, but he would also be punished.

Six Sword Slaves not only protect him, but also monitor him.

He had served under Lu Buwei for several years, and he knew the strength of the Six Swordsmen. With his strength, it was more difficult to escape from the Six Swordsmen than to ascend to the sky.

"Shocking salamander, covering the sun, Zhao Gao, what was your role in the net before, and it is still now, but you are now directly orphaned, do you understand?"

"Here!"

The three of them responded in unison.

Ying Zheng swept over the ten people, including Li Si. Their subconscious colors were all gray and white. What surprised him most was that Zhao Gao and Li Si had the lightest subconscious colors, which meant that among the ten people, Zhao Gao and Li Si were actually opposite. He is the most loyal.

As for the others, their former master was Lu Buwei, but now they are replaced by Ying Zheng, and they can still have a gray-white subconscious color, which makes Ying Zheng very satisfied. Not surprisingly, as time progresses, their subconscious color changes. will become shallower.

Chapter 35 The Earth-shaking Reform

Not long after Li Si and the others left, Wei Liaozi came to see him again.

Ying Zheng sighed that he really had no time to spare. In history, Ying Zheng had to read several carts of letters every day, and was very tired. He was always vigilant that he couldn't do that.

"Your Majesty, this minister has made a specific strategy based on your ideas for reform." Yu Liaozi opened a scroll.

"The Daqin standing army is about [-] people. If you want to reach the standing army of [-] people mentioned by the king, the annual food gap is [-] million stone. If you want to reach the [-]-strong standing army, the annual food shortage is [-] million stone. Wanshi."

Ying Zheng nodded slightly. According to the information, in addition to Da Qin, which was able to maintain a standing army of [-], the other states of Zhao, Wei, and Qi maintained a standing army of hundreds of thousands, and the weakest state, Han, could not even maintain a standing army of [-].

It's not that they don't want to maintain more standing armies, it's that agriculture and the economy of this era do not allow them to maintain more standing armies.

Although this is a high martial world, it has nothing to do with the common people, how the common people live or how they live.

Once the war, if the standing army is not enough, will start to recruit people, so once the war, the food consumption will be much more.

"And if you want to eat three meals a day and practice once a day, the food consumption will increase again. The food shortage of the [-]-strong standing army will reach [-] million, and the food deficit of [-] will reach [-] million."

In this era, both the army and the common people have two meals a day, and the army basically trains every five days.It has become three meals a day, one practice a day, and the consumption is too great.

"Your Majesty, the minister of unifying the world suggests that you don't have to be so eager. If your steps are too large, sometimes you will not walk faster, but you will drag your eggs. The minister also understands that you want to increase the combat effectiveness of the Daqin army, but the army's combat effectiveness will increase. Things need to be gradual.”

Ying Zheng was noncommittal: "Go ahead."

Seeing that there was no change in Ying Zheng's expression, Wei Liaozi sighed and continued: "The soldiers train every day, it is not enough to provide enough food, they also need a certain amount of meat, dogs, pigs, sheep, deer, chickens. , duck, fish, whatever meat, we are not enough."

It is impossible to cultivate elite soldiers by eating only food and no meat.

Wei Liaozi's words, in short, we can't meet your requirements, King, we are short of food and meat.

Ying Zheng remembered the treasure of his lottery, smiled and said: "Although you do as the widow said, first recruit the army, make the standing army reach [-], and then start training once a day, three meals a day, food, I will solve the meat shortage alone."

Wei Liaozi frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, it's not a big problem for the standing army to reach [-]. It's just that according to Your Majesty's plan, Daqin's reserves will be exhausted within a month at most."

"You can do it with confidence. The widow is not a fool. Naturally, after considering everything, you will be asked to make such a plan."

Ying Zheng's tone was extremely firm, and his expression became extremely solemn:

"The widow knows that the road to reform is not so smooth. There will be clans, nobles, or ghosts and snakes to stop you on the way, but remember, the widow is standing behind you."

"As long as the widow is around, Shang Yang's fate will never happen to you!"

Speaking of which, although Shang Yang's reforms greatly increased Qin's national strength, after Duke Xiao's death, he was torn apart by a car and his entire family was killed.

However, with Ying Zheng's strength, immortality is not a dream. As long as Wei Liaozi is loyal to him, the reform will be beneficial to Da Qin, and he will never follow in the footsteps of Shang Yang.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wei Liaozi looked moved, and then returned to his senses.

"There is also encouragement to give birth. After giving birth to a child, one more child will be rewarded with one mu of fertile land, and hardware and one stone of meat can be received every year. This gap will be even bigger."
