Qin Yuedang Kong

Chapter 31
When the officials dispersed, only Fusu, Meng Yi, and Fan Zeng were left in the Qilin Hall.

"Mr. Fan, do you have any objection to letting Shusuntong be the general guard? I know that you also want to go to Hexi." Fusu asked Fan Zeng with a smile.

"My lord, the old minister never thought of becoming the General Protector of Hexi." Fan Zeng denied with a guilty conscience.

"Mr. Fan, you have already started planning to recruit people for Hexi, and you also said that you have no interest in the position of Hexi Protector General. It is not good to lie! With your talent, being the Hexi Protector General is really a bit of a shame. , I plan to wipe out the troubles of Huhai, Jiangdong Xiang, and Nanyue Zhao Tuo within two years. At that time, I will definitely need the help of great talents. You should stay by my side and advise me? In the future, I will be able to worship generals and become marquises. Let Shusun Tong do the matter of taking the land west of the river!"

"Young Master, I understand. I just asked my uncle Sun Tong to manage Hexi. I am really disappointed. After listening to the arrangement of the young master, I understand. The old minister must do his best to help the young master to calm down the civil strife." Fan Zeng said excitedly. .How can being the Protector General of Hexi be compared with worshiping a general and being a marquis?

"Meng Yi, Prime Minister Li is already old, and many things still need to be shared by you, Prime Minister Zuo. Don't dare to tire the old man. He not only helped my father wipe out the six kingdoms, but also helped me take back the land of Hexi , It can be said that hard work is worthwhile. If it is exhausted in my hands, then I will really be a sinner."

Li Si's hard work in helping Su was seen in his eyes, and he almost took care of all the government affairs of Daqin by himself.Whether it is the promotion and appointment of officials, or the treasury finances of various places, or criminal and prison proceedings, all must be gathered at Li Si.Fusu has clearly seen the drawbacks of the Sangong and Jiuqing system, and reforming the Sangong and Jiuqing system is imperative.The reason why Fusu wanted to keep Meng Yi and Fan Zeng was to find out from the two populations the attitude of the courtiers towards the reform of the San Gong Jiu Qing system.

"I don't know if you two have discovered that all the government affairs of my Great Qin have been brought together to the prime minister, which makes it difficult for Prime Minister Li to want to rest! The system of three gongs and nine ministers began in the Xia and Shang Dynasties. Although my Qin people have improved, there are still many drawbacks. It's not the right time. I want to reform the system of three lords and nine ministers, what suggestions do you two have?" After Fusu finished speaking, he looked at Meng Yi and Fan Zeng expectantly.

The reform of the Sangong and Jiuqing system was indeed beyond the expectations of Meng Yi and Fan Zeng.

"My lord, this is a big matter, I don't want to jump to conclusions for the time being, can you allow me to give a reply after careful consideration?" Meng Yi said to Fusu cautiously.

Law reform and system reform have always been regarded as a major national event, and if one is not careful, it will cause disturbances in the government and the opposition.Because the reform will definitely touch the interests of some groups, encountering resistance is inevitable.It may even lead to death.In the past, when the king of Chu mourned, Wu Qi reformed his laws and made the state of Chu stronger and stronger day by day.After the death of King Chu Mourning, Wu Qi was shot and killed by the old nobles of Chu State.Let’s look at Shang Yang, who made the Qin State on the road to prosperity through reforms. Wasn’t he killed by King Qin Huiwen in the land of Shang Yu?Even the body was taken back to Xianyang and dismembered.

Fusu deduced the attitude of the ministers through Meng Yi's words. It seems that the reform of the Sangong and Jiuqing system should not be rushed.

……

One month later, thousands of bamboo tubes were thrown into the Yangtze River by soldiers of Hengshan County.For a while, there was an uproar in Jiangdong.

In just ten days, [-] to [-] Jiangdong people fled to Qin.Many of them were soldiers who escaped from Xiang's barracks.

On this day, Jiangdong's guards delivered a letter of persuasion from Qin to Uncle Xiang's desk.

After Xiang Bo came back from his camp tour, he picked up the letter on his desk and read it. After reading only a few lines, he was shocked by the content of the letter.

"All Jiangdong people who voluntarily settle down in Hexi will be given five acres of fertile land, two stones of grain, and two thousand money. After arriving in Hexi, each household will be given a resettlement fee of five thousand yuan, and each household will be provided with a plow. One set of farm tools and one cattle. In the first three years, the taxes paid by the people in the Hexi area only accounted for [-]% of the harvest, and the people in the Hexi area were exempted from corvee labor for five years.

All soldiers of the Chu army of the Xiang family who voluntarily go to Hexi will be given six acres of fertile land and three thousand dollars, and after arriving in Hexi, each household will be given another six thousand dollars for resettlement..."

Uncle Xiang never expected that Fusu would poach him so blatantly in Jiangdong's corner. The resettlement fee alone would be enough to empty the Qin treasury.Xiang Bo really couldn't figure out that Fusuna had so much money and food to manage the land of Hexi.After careful consideration, Xiang Bo decided that Fusu's move was just disturbing the hearts of the people in Jiangdong, so he didn't pay much attention to Fusu's poaching.If Xiang Bo knew that Fusu had 40 billion yuan and 7000 million shi of grain in his hands, he would definitely go crazy.

At the same time, the same news was quietly spread to the common people in the counties and counties under the rule of Liu Ji and Hu Hai by the soldiers of Dongjun.When the people under Hu Hai's rule heard the news, they chose to flee one after another. At that time, 14 people chose to flee to Qin.It can be seen how stupid Hu Hai is.

Who is the most depressed is Chen Sheng who fled to Yingchuan County under Liu Jizhi.After breaking with Wu Guang, Chen Sheng sneaked back to Yingchuan County with 600 remnants of the defeated soldiers, and even coerced and deceived another 600 poor people from Yingchuan County to Mount Song.Just about to start a big career, 200 people were abducted by Fusu's letter.The saddest thing is that the [-] followers he sent out to intercept the [-] people also ran away. So far, there are less than [-] people left under his command.Let Chen Sheng have a good experience of the thrill of "stealing chickens will not pay back rice".

Two months later, in the season of Jichun (March in the lunar calendar), General Shusun Tong, the Protector General of Hexi, led 20 people to the land of Hexi in a mighty manner.In order to let the 20 people see the determination of the imperial court, Shu Suntong chose to eat and live with the 20 people.Fusu was moved by Shusuntong's determination, and specially sent 20 tiger and ben troops to escort the 20 people to the four counties in Hexi along the way.Fusu ordered Meng Tian's [-] army to reclaim the fields as soon as possible while dispatching the Huben army.

In order to allow these 20 people to settle in Hexi as soon as possible, Fusu specially arranged for the Daqin Ordnance Academy to work overtime to make plows and other agricultural tools.And one month in advance, 20 construction craftsmen were recruited from all over the Qin Dynasty, and sent to Hexi to help the relocated people build settled houses.

When 20 people arrived in Hexi, they were first placed in the barracks vacated by Meng Tian's army by Shusun Tong.

Two days later, 20 craftsmen and [-] plows arrived in Hexi as scheduled.And the [-] cattle purchased by Xiao He from Xiqiang were also delivered as scheduled the next day after the plows arrived.So far, the ambitious hegemony of Fusu Economic Strategy and Hexi Corridor has officially kicked off.

Seeing that the matter of managing the land in the west of Hexi had some clues, Fusu finally breathed a sigh of relief.He began to think about his marriage with Yuji. After returning from Qingyao Mountain, Fusu has been busy with managing the land in Hexi.She put her affairs with Yu Ji on hold for the time being.Now that spring is returning to the earth and everything is recovering, the restlessness hidden in Fusu's heart has become active again.
