…………………………………………………………………………

The news of the turmoil in the southern counties has not yet reached Xianyang, and the most populous male city in the world is still the same as before.

The flood in Guanzhong had long since receded, and although the First Emperor had issued an order for disaster relief, he was unable to contain the disaster in time due to some delays. Throughout the course of that catastrophe, millions of people were left homeless, and more than 100,000 people died and went missing. I have to say that the natural disaster has brought very serious damage to Guanzhong, and Guanzhong's vitality has not recovered for a while.

Compared with the precarious and turbulent counties, the people of Xianyang wake up every day and face a calm life, and those Qianshou in the suburbs who will queue up to enter the city every day are still living a peaceful life. Of course, it is only a day of peace, not a beautiful life.

During these five months, the First Emperor completed his northern tour, and the center also completed several initiatives.

The First Emperor repeatedly ordered conscription for conscription, and the first to suffer was in the old Six Kingdoms, where every family had to send a strong man to serve as a conscription.

A large number of conscripts were conscripted to the north, some of them to build gallops, some to build the Great Wall, and some to participate in the construction of military forts.

Prisons across the country also carried out a major move, and felons from all over the country were concentrated in Lishan Mountain in Xianyang to build an imperial tomb. At one time, as many as 400,000 convicts were concentrated in the vicinity of Lishan, where the sound of striking stones could be heard every day.

Some prisoners who had committed minor crimes were also escorted from all over the country, and they were to build the palace with some of the conscripts. Liu Ji and Fan Xu of Yangzhou County in Shangjun County could have been freed in five months, but because of an order that was also sent to Afang Palace, Xiao He had no choice but to return to Pei County.

Several major projects concentrated in the north were very huge, and in an instant, the number of middle-aged men from all over the country who were concentrated in Xianyang exceeded one million. And how many people is there in China now? At most, it's about 30 million. I have to say that there are millions of men concentrated in Xianyang, which is a very strange number.

How much food do the millions of men who have been drafted or conscripted have to eat every day, plus how much the population of Xianyang already has to eat. Qin's national strength was burdened by such a move, not that no one was aware of this, but that it was impossible to make changes at all.

Many women of the right age to marry suddenly could not find someone to marry, and some women who had a marriage contract were likely to be widowed before they were married.

The Guanzhong region has just been hit by a catastrophe, so it is customary to say that the central government should no longer levy conscripts from Guanzhong, right? However, the conscription order was still issued to the various counties in Guanzhong......

Imagine that when you are about to rebuild your home, a conscription order drains the family's main labor force. What would that look like?

The large-scale conscription of forced labor has done great harm to society, and the main labor force in society has disappeared, who will go to farm? The people began to enter the stage of production dominated by the elderly, children, women and children.

However, the matter is not over here, the Qiantou of Lao Qindi is really confused, they have asked themselves more than once why this is happening, and they wonder if the battle of reunification is over and there is no benefit, but why can't they live a stable life?

The country is still that country, the supreme King Qin has become the first emperor, and the territory of the empire has increased several times, but why is life more difficult than before?

Countless confusions were born in the territory of the Guanzhong people, the Longxi people, the Ba, Shu, Hanzhong and other old Qin people. They really don't know what they are fighting and bleeding for.

A country is only a country of the emperor, and only the nobles benefit from the war, and all kinds of thoughts can't help but give birth to people's hearts, and then be guided by some "people with hearts". Dissatisfaction and disappointment became mainstream.

Now the peace of the Qin State is a kind of "inertia" cultivated by the winning room for hundreds of years to maintain the stability of the empire, but if the head of the Qianqian does not get the benefits of the war, but continues to serve a large number of conscripts after the war is over, then the change in the people's hearts is inevitable.

Not alarmist. Some officials also discovered some phenomena in Lao Qindi, such as the fact that no one paid to recruit people to replace the conscription in the past, but now there is a conscription, and this is still a conscription as a soldier. Conscription and conscription. Families who are drafted will pay for them or simply use servants to replace them if they have the slightest conditions, and those who do not have money will also apply with a resistant mentality.

The officials who discovered these phenomena reported the situation, some people didn't care and some people cared, and the First Emperor also got such a report.

What was the reaction of the First Emperor? Ying Zheng was very angry when he learned that there was such a situation, and he originally wanted to punish the crime, but he was persuaded by Zhao Gao and Li Siqiqi.

Zhao Gao said this: The same is to serve as a conscription, since someone has gone, it is to serve a conscription, and they have not made any mistakes in Qin Law.

Li Si said it more tactfully, which can be regarded as a reminder: At present, the people are scarce, and there are many young and disabled people in every family. Many civilians have been fighting for many years, do you want them to take a break?

The temperament of the First Emperor is different from before, and there was a great goal of destroying the Six Kingdoms and unifying China, and in order to achieve this goal, he can still endure or think about everything. Now that the great deeds that generations have dreamed of have been completed in the hands of Ying Zheng, it is inevitable that there will be an unprecedented sense of pride, after all, he is also a human being.

Ordinary people are proud, and the scourge will not be so great, the problem is that the first emperor is not an ordinary person, he is the supreme emperor, the so-called golden words and jade words are what they say, and if they don't dare to disobey, pride will become extremely conceited.

Is Ying Zheng a person who can't listen to persuasion? Maybe he was a good person before the unification of China, but people always change.

Zhao Gao is a close minister of the First Emperor, and Li Si is the most relied on of the First Emperor, and the persuasion of the two will definitely have an effect in the past, but the current Yingzheng is no longer the King of Qin who is good at admonishment, he is the proud master of the entire Shenzhou. In Yingzheng's opinion, Yingzheng's persuasion was challenging the emperor's authority, although Yingzheng did not rebuke or refute anything, but his cold eyes made Zhao Gao and Li Si tremble.

Of course, the First Emperor knew that the leaders of the Dao Dao needed to recuperate, but he became like a self-righteous or extremely confident man. Thinking that nothing he wants to do will not be done.

Recently, the energy of the First Emperor is actually no longer on national politics, and under the inducement or bewitchment of some alchemists, Yingzheng has turned his attention to the pursuit of eternal life. Maybe...... It's just that maybe, probably because of the influence of this, Yingzheng will become like that?

When some people continued to persuade to no avail, Xianyang's various positions also changed.

Since Meng Tian was transferred to the Northern Xinjiang Army, the new county guard of Neishi County became Sima Xin, Zhang Han, the captain of the city gate, was also promoted to Shaofu, and the new commander of Xianyang Ling became a person named Yan Le.

In just about five months, judging from the above personnel changes. Nothing has changed on the surface of Xianyang, but the changes in some positions actually involve a lot of things.

Those who advised the First Emperor to pursue eternal life were either transferred or dismissed, and the civil conscription and conscription had caused public resentment to boil, and the changes between officials were also very frequent.

At this time, the emergency military information sent from the south finally arrived in Xianyang, and when the first emperor received the urgent submission from the National Lieutenant Bureau, he was sincerely bathing and planning to eat the "elixir".

"There's a riot in South County?" It was surprising.

"An invasion of 100,000 troops of the Baiyue people?" This is surprising.

"Tu Sui self-immolated, Ren Huan absconded?" This is wrath.

"This Lu Shizhe seems to be a little impressed?" This is confusion.

Seeing the military intelligence report of at least 50,000 words, the expression on the face of the First Emperor kept changing, and he felt that it was really unbelievable.

Yes. It is unbelievable that the First Emperor was a great monarch, and his great achievements are unparalleled. Precisely because he himself felt so, the riots in the South seemed so incredible to him.

And the invasion of the Baiyue people is nothing to come by. The Qin State wanted to invade Baiyue in the south, and the Baiyue people would naturally think of a preemptive strike. It's just that...... It's just that he really didn't understand how Tu Sui and Ren Huan could make the situation like that, and the chief and deputy commanders of the Southern Expeditionary Army also self-immolated and absconded, which was just a big joke!

"Check!" This moment. The First Emperor finally had no immortality in his head, and his mind returned to national politics: "Let the Black Ice Terrace find out what's going on!" ”

A man in black hiding in the shadows answered "hey", but didn't leave.

The First Emperor seemed to be very irritable: "This Lu Shi Zhe ......"

From the shadows, "Lu Shizhe." It is under the rule of Xixian County, Longxi County. The parents of the nationality level are whale seekers, not blood relatives. Summoned as the commander of the tun, supervised the construction of the road in the Yinmi, and then went to the Yangzhou garrison, and then ......".

Stunned for a moment, the First Emperor seemed to remember, and he murmured: "It seems that there is such a person." He presented the new law of building the city, and because of this merit, he was promoted to the rank of prince and marquis. As he spoke, he closed his eyes, as if he was recalling something, and after a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "This person also checks!" ”

"Hey!" The man in black in the shadows answered the order and stepped back silently, slowly disappearing.

At this moment, the temperament of the first emperor is completely different from the temperament of pursuing eternal life, Yingzheng who pursues immortality is just a middle-aged man who looks unold and decrepit, and Yingzheng, whose thoughts return to political affairs, is the only emperor in the world.

Picking up the long Bai Juan with words written on it again, the First Emperor looked at it word by word very intently, and the pair of sword eyebrows full of murderous aura shook as if something was brewing.

After reading it word by word, the First Emperor raised his head suddenly, and his voice was calm and full of majesty: "Call Wang Juan, Li Si, Meng Yi, and Yao Jia to come over." ”

Wang Juan was the new lieutenant of the Qin State who succeeded Tu Sui.

Li Si is still a court lieutenant.

Meng Yi and Yao Jia are both Shangqing, but Meng Yi has one more official position than Yao Jia.

These four people are the people that the First Emperor is relatively trusted and relied on at present. However, Yao Jia may be relatively unfamiliar for most of them, in fact, he was born in the Wei State, and his father was the gatekeeper who guarded the city gates, and his background was very low. In general, Yao Jia is a very controversial figure, Han Fei once called him "the thief of Liang, the minister of Zhao". There are many people's pasts, so I won't tell them one by one.

"Heh, I had no choice but to temporarily take over the post of commander-in-chief, led 5,000 soldiers to suppress the rebellion and beheaded 40,000, and under the critical situation, we gathered the criminals of the six countries who were affected by the fish pond to resist the invasion of Baiyue, beheaded 50,000 in three wars, and captured 20,000." The First Emperor didn't know if Lu Dao was sneering or what, he picked up the pen and picked out some words and sentences to write on the bamboo slips next to him: "I have been ordered to compile and train the young and strong of the Six Kingdoms, and I have been in charge of Yiling ......." ”

The First Emperor stood up and walked to a cabinet next to him, where there were a lot of bamboo slips, and after walking for a while, he stopped in front of a cabinet marked "Nanjun", and glanced for a while to find a copy of the official letter sent by Tu Sui and Ren Huan.

With a loud bang, the First Emperor opened the bamboo slip and reviewed it for a while before he saw the record of Ren Huan's appointment of Lu Zhe, "Oh? It is indeed a clamor appointment, not gibberish. He looked at the copies reported by Tu Sui for a while, "It seems that this person's ability is good." The chief and deputy commanders actually deliberately arranged the young men of the six countries for them to practice? ”

After watching it for about half an hour, right? The First Emperor returned to his seat and looked at Bai Juan, who Lu Zhe had reported on the military situation, and this time he was reading the report on the war.

As the emperor of the Qin Empire, Ying Zheng actually didn't know much about the art of war, but when Lu Zhe wrote it, it was like writing a novel and wrote it in detail, and the description of how to distribute and how to mobilize and what the intention was, Ying Zheng, who didn't understand the art of war, could imagine what kind of scene it was.

"Call Xu Yan too!" The First Emperor felt that he should find a general who knew the army to come and have a look.

Almost after the first emperor finished his order, there was a sound of answering the order outside, and it was said that Wang Xuan, Li Si, Meng Yi, and Yao Jia were already waiting outside the hall.

The four of them were all observing the face of the First Emperor when they entered, and they had not been summoned for a long time except when they had been in the previous court.

Wait for the salute to pass. The First Emperor didn't let them take their seats, and said straightly: "You take ......" Yang Baijuan, "Take it and circulate it." ”

The First Emperor's actions were quite strange to the private person, but Meng Yi was not slow to react, and immediately walked over and respectfully took Bai Juan.

This scene is actually quite casual. If it was a formal occasion, there would be eunuchs or female officials next to the First Emperor, and Meng Yi was too familiar with Yingzheng to dare to walk over, so the rest of the people would worry that they would be killed by a crossbow shot from somewhere before they got close.

Bai Juan's word count is really a lot. The content in it was also too unbelievable, and Meng Yi, who was originally a little casual, read it carefully and watched it for a quarter of an hour before reading it. He subconsciously closed his eyes after reading it. That look is clearly a silent memorization, and it is also thinking about what Bai Juan's content represents.

"Lu Shizhe?" Meng Yi was naturally such a person, he thought to himself: "It is rumored that Lu Shizhe is practicing as a soldier in Yangzhou County, and those soldiers seem to be practicing well?" knows both magic skills and the art of war, and it's not bad to lead troops, but I really didn't see it at the beginning. But...... This is also bold, even with more than 20,000 people temporarily reorganized, they dared to meet the Ouyue, Minyue, Guiyue and Sanyue coalition forces, and the most incredible thing is that they were defeated after the most reorganization? ”

Wang Juan also finished reading it, and his face changed greatly after reading it. As a national lieutenant, he has the right to access any documents related to the war, and the first thing he did after taking office was to consult the previous war reports related to the Xiongnu and Baiyue, and he could be said to have a certain understanding of the Xiongnu and Baiyue.

The Xiongnu and Baiyue people actually have one thing in common, these two tribes lack metal weapons, the Huns are Hu people on horseback, even if they lack weapons, they are not easy to deal with, but the Baiyue people are different.

Since the continuous friction between the Great Qin and the Baiyue people, the National Lieutenant Office has studied Baiyue as if it were studying the Huns, Baiyue is a tribe that is good at sneak attacks in the forest environment, and the combat effectiveness of frontal battles is actually not strong.

Wang Juan saw what Bai Juan and Lu Zhe wrote, the three battles were basically not a forest environment, and the course of the war was also written more clearly, he still believed that Lu Zhe really led more than 20,000 people to defeat 100,000 Baiyue, but the tactics written by Lu Zhe still need to be scrutinized.

As a national lieutenant, Wang Juan and Meng Yi also had different ideas, and he was concerned about the things that Bai Juan wrote about the turmoil that would affect the surrounding counties of Nanjun. He thought to himself: "Turmoil is inevitable, but it is an exaggeration to say that the counties in the south are in a military disaster. ”

Li Si and Yao Jia didn't know much about military affairs, and what they saw from Bai Juan was something else. Lu Zhe temporarily took the position of the main general, which is completely in line with the practice of the Qin army, after all, the chief and deputy commanders, including the captains and military marquis, are all dead. It's just that they feel that those officers who are higher than Lu Zhe died too strangely, and they suspect that there is something wrong with this.

The First Emperor was also thinking about it in his heart when the four of them circulated Bai Juan, and he also thought that Lu Zhe was too serious, and the southern counties would be affected to form turmoil, but who would dare to fish in troubled waters and cause chaos when Great Qin was in full swing?!

As for Lu Zhe's own speculative description of the fact that the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms would raise troops, not only did the First Emperor disagree, but even Wang Xuan, Li Si, Meng Yi, and Yao Jia felt that there was no possibility at all.

Should it be said that the high-ranking officials of the Qin State were too confident, or did they think that people in the world except themselves were too incompetent?

At this time, the First Emperor and Wang Juan seemed to have forgotten a very important matter, and many officials in various places have reported the instability of the people recently, and it is not that no one has reported about the turmoil in the southern counties. And the two people who were in charge of the military at the scene, one was busy pursuing eternal life, and the other was pounced on the bamboo slips of the Xiongnu and Baiyue all day long, and they didn't seem to pay much attention to those.

Li Si is a court lieutenant, but he has a reputation as a "jack of all trades" in the Qin State, and he seems to know everything when something happens. He has some impressions of the recent reports from various places, but he is in charge of the criminal law, and it is difficult to remind him now. If you really reminded him, wouldn't he tell the First Emperor that he had stretched his hand too long?

What about Meng Yi? His internal conspiracy is completely busy with things related to the northern frontier, after all, his elder brother Meng Tian is now a general of the Northern Expedition, and he is about to lead a large army to start a war with the Xiongnu.

Several people exchanged opinions, and for the things that were not yet clear, the people who were courtiers did not dare to make up their minds too quickly, and the unified argument was to send someone to investigate first.

The First Emperor was quite sober, and he thought that the investigation must be investigated, but it was best to prepare accordingly in advance just in case.

They were talking about the content of Bai Juan, but the reporter Lu Zhe was never mentioned at all. It seems that this is not a surprise, they are the central boss except for the emperor, who would go to put a military marquis...... Oh, it's a temporary commander in Nanshire.

After Xu Yan came, when Bai Juan arrived in his hands, Lu Zhe's name was finally mentioned, and the head of the Xu family praised Lu Zhe's tactics of leading the army to fight, but when it came to the turmoil in the southern counties, he chose to avoid talking about it like those ministers.

Maybe it's superstition, or maybe it's fate, and the process seems to be the same for different people in power.

Ying Zheng didn't believe that those people would be so bold at all......

Hu Hai didn't have that intelligence or was deceived......

However, why did the center of the Qin State look down on those old nobles of the Six Kingdoms so much, even if someone had already reported that they had raised troops to rebel, no one took it seriously? (To be continued......)
