The six countries sent me as a spy, and the contact person was Qin Shihuang

Chapter 43 The Real Purpose of Building the Great Wall
Meng Tian is now commanding 50 people in the Great Qin Northern Army in the north, which is only the number of regular front-line troops.

There are countless civilians behind the front-line troops. Their main task is to build the Daqin Straight Road.

At the same time, build the Great Wall.

What made Meng Tian a headache was that he spent too much manpower and material resources to build the Great Wall.

When he came back this time, he asked Qin Shihuang for more manpower, but he knew that once he asked for more manpower, he would recruit civilian husbands.

For Meng Tian, ​​there was no moral burden, but he knew that too harsh a levy would cause the people to rebel.

But he didn't expect that Wang Jian would call him home to drink as soon as he returned to Xianyang City.

What does this old man mean?
At this moment, Meng Tian understood that he was waiting for Wang Ben.

The problem is, both of the two pieces of news that Wang Ben brought back were big problems that raised Meng Tian's blood pressure.

It was a good thing that the first emperor stopped working on the Efang Palace, but he wanted to build a new palace.

Also, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, oh, Jiang Bai, who is now the old Qin, who is he, and what changes will he bring to Daqin, Meng Tian does not comment, but he is wary of these people.

If they are not nobles, there is no possibility of binding their interests.

Without fulfilling vested interests in Daqin's military system, it is impossible to be of one mind with them.

But he also knew that what Yingzheng wanted to do and who he wanted to use was beyond his meddling.

"Also, this man not only brought the eldest son to Fusu, but also brought the younger son Hu Hai to toss together." Wang Ben was actually very envious, and said, "Aside from other things, the eldest son is really learned, and he is no longer superstitious about the words of those literati. Hu Hai has become even more shocking. Now this kid goes out to ask for money every day, and he asks those concubines for money. His Majesty likes it very much. Moreover, it has been many days, and Zhao Gao hasn't seen the two sons."

Meng Tian liked the news very much.

He didn't like Zhao Gao, not at all.

It's not that he looked down on Zhao Gao, he noticed Zhao Gao's ambition hidden under his obedience to Qin Shihuang.

"If this person can lose both sides to Zhao Gao, we can rest assured." Meng Tian tentatively said.

Wang Ben chuckled and didn't answer the question.

The emperor has high hopes for Jiang Bai, how can Zhao Gao be tied with him.

Moreover, Jiang Bai is not a fool. In this case, how can he have trouble with Zhao Gao?
……

Everyone is wrong.

Early the next morning, Jiang Bai learned from Wang Benkou that Qin Shihuang actually regarded him as a great talent, or the best tool man.

This is a good thing, the more people offended, the more assassins there will be.

But to a young master, is this something I can do?
I am a person who has never even been to bars and nightclubs. Although I am courageous, I am really not very capable.

"Young Fu? Isn't that the prince's teacher? I won't do this!" Jiang Bai tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep.

He was thinking about how to avoid Qin Shihuang's reuse without taking such a big responsibility. He didn't want to affect the lives of people all over the world because of his lack of ability.

Fusu didn't fall asleep either.

He is very excited, and he thinks more and more that Jiang Bai is more suitable to be his teacher than anyone else.

Hearing Hu Hai's loud snoring, Fu Su envied him very much.

Silly children don't think about anything else at all, and live the most comfortable life.

At this time, he heard Jiang Bai's tossing and turning voice, quickly got up and lit the lamp, and asked, "Sir, are you dissatisfied with the appointment of the father?"

"I'm so dissatisfied. How can I be a high-ranking official second only to Jiuqing?" Jiang Bai also got up and sat down, and said frankly, "First of all, I don't have the ability to manage a few people. I can't manage it. Secondly, such a high position makes me farther away from most people, and it is even more unfavorable to do things with me. Also, since ancient times, how many of the courtiers who have reformed have had a good end?"

Fu Su laughed: "Mister, isn't he not afraid of death?"

"Yeah, I really hope you will give me a knife, but I am afraid of pain." Jiang Bai said dejectedly, "This is going to be divided into five horses, can I die from pain?"

Fusu: "..."

Without another word, he put on his clothes and immediately went to find Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng was stunned.

You are not a lonely minister who is not afraid of death. I can understand and respect your choice.

But what the hell is it that you are not afraid of death but afraid of pain?

"Also, isn't this person talking nonsense? He can't manage a few people well. Those 1 people are better managed than our Daqin army now. The orders and prohibitions of those girls' training are actually more powerful than the Black Eagle Iron Guard. Does this mean that he can't manage talents?" Ying Zheng complained, "Forget it, I don't think he can refuse this matter."

Issue an edict?

Ying Zheng said with a smile: "Who said you can't play tricks if you want to use talents?"

He made a big deal, and issued an imperial edict directly to Quan Xianyang early the next morning, conferring "Jiang Bai, an old Qin man and former member of the non-anti-Qin peripheral organization" as Taifu.

Jiang Bai was the last to know the news, and Meng Tian brought it to him.

"Sir, this is Meng Tian, ​​the first general of the Great Qin Dynasty." Wang Ben introduced.

Jiang Bai looked at the middle-aged general who was not angry and arrogant, his eyes were like radio rays, and when he was guessing his identity, he heard that this was Meng Tian, ​​and immediately realized that this group of people was not good.

Meng Tian said in a voice like Hong Zhong: "Mr. Jiang Bai, I have heard of you more than once. Old General Wang Jian, oh, I am the first general in the Qin Dynasty, General Wang, who admires you very much, and His Majesty also likes your talent very much."

"That's why they think too highly of me!" Jiang Bai waved his hand, "Is it because the general returned to Xianyang to build the Great Wall because of the shortage of manpower?"

Meng Tian asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

He returned to Xianyang to secretly ask for more manpower by returning to the country to celebrate the emperor's birthday (Qin Shihuang's birthday is in the first month).

He believed that no one else would think about this matter.

After all, although Daqin's finances are rich, it doesn't do much good for the people. No one thought that he would ask for more manpower at this moment.

Moreover, even Li Si opposed raising such a huge army in the heartland of the Huns in the north, so few people would have thought that he would come back and ask for an increase in the number of civilians.

So, how did this person think of it?
"Don't look at me, no one told me, I just know the importance of the Hetao and the southern part of the grassland to the Central Plains dynasty, and the construction of the Great Wall by the general is a matter of great benefit." Jiang Bai commented fairly and impartially, "The Great Wall needs to be repaired. Before the Central Plains productivity fails to produce new arms that are faster than the Huns and have stronger battlefield impact than cavalry, the existence of the Great Wall as an obstacle that slows down the Huns going south and a channel for rapid deployment of troops is correct."

There was a hint of surprise in Meng Tian's heart.

This person has a good vision, and the strategic value of the Hetao area is completely consistent with his and His Majesty's opinions.
