Governing a big country is like cooking a small one. A slight change in any system will have an immeasurable impact, and the final product of the entire dish will be completely different.
Even Li Chen is trying to avoid the enemy now.
When others look at the current political situation of the Qin Empire, they all say that the crown prince's biggest problem lies with Zhao Xuanji, King Wen, and the reduction of vassals.
But only Li Chen himself knew that compared with these specific enemies, what really made him feel troublesome were the chronic diseases accumulated in this empire for more than three hundred years, and the old and rigid system that did not conform to Li Chen's policy agenda. These views
The invisible enemy is his real enemy.
Throughout the past two years, Li Chen has used troops several times, which seems to be very fast, but in fact it is because he has skipped the system and used his identity and authority to forcefully ignore the rules, but Li Chen knows very well that this is not possible.
In the future, when the government stabilizes, if Li Chen wants to build a more powerful empire, he must re-establish the authority of the system, and even put himself in the cage of the system, and let the system govern the power. This is the way to ensure long-term stability of the regime.
good strategy.
It's just that you have to eat food one bite at a time and do things step by step. It's unrealistic to accomplish it all at once.
Li Chen sighed and said to Su Zhenting: "This battle against Liao actually exposed too many problems."
"It seems that Da Qin only mobilized troops from Gansu, Shaanxi and Yueya Pass, but in fact... I can't mobilize troops from other parts of the country at all."
These words made Su Zhenting a little embarrassed. As a general in the commander-in-chief's office, he actually knew the military situation in the country very well.
"The situation of soldiers in various places living on empty wages and neglecting training is indeed very serious."
Li Chen raised his eyebrows, took out a secret report, and said: "This secret report was handed over by Dongchang three months ago when I planned to use troops. Please take a look."
Su Zhenting stood up and took it.
Just a cursory glance made Su Zhenting's eyes widen.
He originally thought that as the general of the Commander-in-Chief's Office, he had enough knowledge of the situation below, but this intelligence from Dongchang was more real and bloody.
The actual situation was much more serious than he imagined.
"This investigation actually started when Su Pingbei was ordered to lead the army to support the North Korean war. At that time, I planned to mobilize several troops, but encountered great resistance, and finally used
After what the Liaodong Army had just accomplished, I ordered Dongchang to go to all parts of the country to investigate. Just some real and reliable crimes with real evidence were loaded into three carriages. An overview of the health stations in more than ten provinces across the country was written as three major
This secret book, what you see is only one of them."
Li Chen's tone became heavier and he said: "In this secret report, in Huai'an alone, there are a total of 36,257 officers and soldiers in the guard station, but what is the number that the Dongchang spies came up with after verification?
?With less than 7,000 people, how much free money is there? Nearly 30,000 damn people!"
"Those who are military officers reach out to the court and take away the military pay of 30,000 people every year. Huai'an reports material losses and soldiers' pensions every year, but the authenticity is less than 10%."
"What I didn't expect the most was that these bastards dared to fabricate a non-existent bandit organization out of thin air, and requested the court to raise 10,000 troops. It took three months and more than 500,000 taels of money to quell this.
