Chapter 43: Chang Closing

Weiyang Palace, front hall.

Ying Ziyi was wearing a twelve chapter crown garment of the sun, moon, stars, and was wearing a crown on his head, sitting upright on the throne.

Below, all the officials were arguing whether to send troops out of the customs and recover the lost territory.

After being defeated in Xingyang, Prince Fusu retreated to Chen County and guarded the five counties, with more than 200,000 troops.

Later, Tian Dan rebelled in Di County, killed the county magistrate, and plundered Qi in the east. Xiang Liang rebelled in Kuaiji, and held troops between the Jianghuai River and Huai River.

In addition to these two larger forces, such as Wei Ju, Ying Bu, Gongao, Zhang Er, Chen Yu, etc., rebelled one after another, or had two or three counties.

These rebels supported Prince Fusu, who was in Chen County, as the emperor. Prince Fusu successively granted him the title of King and Marquis and restored the country of the six countries.

In just a few months, the empire's territory in the east was successively lost.

During the country's death, the troops could not be moved, so Ying Ziyi only ordered the soldiers in Guanzhong to guard the four passes and the soldiers of each county guarded the territory. And Prince Fusu could not send troops to knock west, and he was charged with a serious crime of unfilial piety.

Therefore, although there have been rebellions in various counties in Kanto in the past few months, the situation in the world has generally been pacified.

Now, in this huge Weiyang Palace, all civil and military officials are arguing whether to go east to Hangu to quell the rebellion.

"Your Majesty, Fusu is a rebel, and is a rebel, and he is an emperor, causing trouble to our great Qin country. How can we calm the hearts of the people of the world if we don't want to? How can we comfort the previous emperors of all dynasties?"

In the court, a minister burst into tears, looked haggard and full of tears.

I'm sorry, Oscar winner!

Ying Ziyi sighed in his heart. If Ying Ziyi hadn't known that the Marquis Jiancheng had occupied a thousand acres of land in Wu by Xiang Liang, for military purposes, Ying Ziyi would have really not doubted his loyalty.

"What the Marquis of Jiancheng said is very true. Although the rebels are strong at this moment, they are just a mob after all. Your Majesty is powerful and the army goes east, and the potential is achieved through one battle.

Ying Ziyi nodded. This person has 500 hectares of land in Chen County, and they are all good fertile land.

...

"What the Marquis of Guangling said is a mess! What is a mob? The remnants of the six kingdoms support Fusu as the emperor and have a great military force. The pseudo-emperor Fusu has supported more than 200,000 rebels, thousands of chariots and thousands of cavalry. Rebels of all sizes around may have thousands of soldiers or gather tens of thousands of people. How can our Guanzhong army be released at this time?"

"What Lord Wang said is extremely true!"

Ying Ziyi nodded again. The people who had just opposed the enemy who immediately came out of the east were all the fields that were not in the enemy-occupied area.

They only mean one thing. Anyway, my field has not been occupied by others, so whoever loves it will be anxious!

After everyone talked for a long time, Ying Ziyi became annoyed when he heard it.

"I ordered Xiao He, Xianyang, submitted a report for something!"

After getting a waste, Xiao He stood up and reported to the report.

"What's the matter?"

"The grain prices in Xianyang have risen sharply recently, and have reached more than 200 texts. Please decide."

Among the ministers, there were quite disdainful people. They are now discussing military and national affairs. Just putting them over to Pinghuai Order. Xiao He is really in charge of Xianyang Order!

However, the left and right prime ministers, Li Si, Feng Quji and others, who were in the forefront, lowered their eyelids slightly and remained silent.

"Yeah! It's indeed a matter. I heard that grain prices in various places have risen sharply." Ying Ziyi nodded, "Xiao He, do you have any good ideas?"

"Yeah?" The court officials were not mediocre people. When they heard this, they realized something was wrong.

"I ask to build a permanent warehouse in the various counties of Xianyang to calm the grain prices in various places."

Among the ministers, there were already whispers to object. If a permanent settlement is established in various places, it is undoubtedly a civilian warehousing system.

"Where does the grain come from?" Ying Ziyi continued to ask.

Just build some warehouses, where can the food be transferred from?

"The Xianyang Cang, Bashang Cang, and Liyang Cang have a lot of grain storage. Please allocate a part of it from it."

"Unfortunate!" Before Xiao He finished speaking, someone among the court officials turned his sleeves and said furiously: "These three warehouses are used to provide the army to the capital and protect Guanzhong. The imperial guards, border troops, palaces, and even prisoners in Mount Li have many of them. How can they be adjusted lightly?"

"I am about to report the 700,000 prisoners in Mount Li." Insider Meng Yi walked up and reported.

As soon as Meng Yi came out, the courtier who was still reprimanding him loudly immediately stopped talking.

The Meng family has been highly valued throughout the ages, and its popularity has remained unchanged. The Meng family's two brothers, Meng Tian, ​​led an army of 300,000 outside, and Meng Yi even sent the imperial seal to Xianyang. With such great achievements, Meng Yi replaced Meng Tian as the inner historian and the superior minister.

"allow!"

"Your Majesty ascended the throne and pardoned the world, but these 700,000 prisoners are still in Guanzhong. Although they have been free from slavery and have been leisurely all day long, they may cause trouble. I ask Your Majesty to separate the farmlands in various places."

Ying Ziyi nodded and said, "Where is it separated?"

"Hanzhong County, Shu County, Ba County, Nanyang County, Beidi County, Shang County, Jiuyuan County, and Longxi County. You can send them to various places to guard the land!"

"How to distribute grain production?" Ying Ziyi continued.

"The court may agree with him that as long as he farms for three years, the land he reclaimed will belong to his private ownership. Within three years, the court will collect 50% of the grain produced by him, and the remaining 50% will belong to his private ownership."

"Can!"

"These 700,000 prisoners are assigned to various places, so the pressure on the internal historians has been greatly reduced. Xianyang Cang can withdraw some of the grain to establish a permanent warehouse." Meng Yi said with his hands.

"Good!" Ying Ziyi waved his hand and signaled that he would do it like this!

"My minister Li Zuoche has something to report!"

"allow!"

"To the west of Longxi County, the land is vast and the control is difficult. I would like to separate counties and establish the Western Regions Protectorate to facilitate the management of the court."

"Can!"

Ying Ziyi waved his hand, and the eunuch beside him opened his throat and shouted: "Retreat the court!"

After the unified process, the ministers were overwhelmed and hadn’t figured out what was going on? It was over.

What about the promised business?

What about sending troops to quell the rebellion?

Why did the following disappear after just one start?

Looking at Ying Ziyi's figure as he was leaving, the ministers kneeling on the ground looked at each other, scratched their heads, and walked out for no reason.

On the high platform in front of Weiyang Palace, the right prime minister Feng Quji and the left prime minister Li Si stood side by side, only a few steps away from each other.

The two prime ministers of Daqin have not stood together like this for a long time.

Feng Quji is the Qin State Qinggui, and Li Si is Shangcai Buyi. The two have never had any personal relationships, and they just nodded when they meet, and their relationship is cold.

The two have never stood together like this before. However, this time, they didn't intend to reminisce about the past.

The huge front hall of Weiyang Palace has a very wide view, with tigers and beside guards, five-zhang flags are raised, vast and profound, and majestic. The two prime ministers looked at the flowing clouds in the sky and sighed without feeling.

An era may come to an end!

The two prime ministers of the Qin Dynasty suddenly felt a hint of loneliness, and reported to each other and separated the path. (To be continued.)
