In Qin Dynasty, the hero of the bright moon dominates the world

Chapter 693

The dark clouds curled up, and the heavy rain poured down, submerging Xianyang into the rain.

It was raining on the porch, and the cold wind was blowing from outside, but it didn't affect the interest of the people in the house to talk.

The sound of rain outside the house, the fragrance of tea in the house.

Zhang Liang sat opposite Zhao Shuang and took a sip of tea.

"This is a new tea picked from Mount Shu. Is Zifang still used to drinking it?"

“Good tea!”

Zhang Liang put down his teacup.

The Yubayashi army was transferred out of Nanzheng, not only these soldiers, but also Zhao Shuang's relatives and the families of these soldiers.

Although Zhao Shuang controlled Guanzhong, there were many people who were not convinced in this huge Guanzhong.

It's just that, under the might of the soldiers, they didn't show it.

"After Wang Li went south and entered the customs, Junshang still let him take charge of Beihe Army. It seems that Junshang is unwilling to give up Jiuyuan and Yunzhong."

"Ovary doesn't think so?"

If the empire is united, then the Great Wall is naturally a proof of great martial arts.But the situation is different now, the world is in chaos, all parties are vying for land, grass, gold and silver, and the value of this border area is too little, and the investment is huge, it is not worthwhile to continue to stick to it.

"As a counselor, I should advise the Lord and choose the most reasonable plan."

"Although the time for the empire to manage Jiuyuan is short, the scale has already taken shape. If we give up on this and let the Beihe army go south, then the 44 counties on the frontier will become airspace and be captured by the Xiongnu again. In the long run, it will be a serious disaster. On the contrary, If the army is still there, the heads of Guizhou in these 44 counties will not just flee, and when the grain and grass in Guanzhong are transported to the north, the hearts of the people will be stable. In a few years, the situation will definitely change."

Zhang Liang understood what Zhao Shuang meant.

In the early stage of the empire, a huge amount of resources have been invested in the construction of the Great Wall and corresponding supporting measures.

You know, the empire didn't just build a wall in the north.Instead, using this wall as a defensive surface, a large number of fortresses, passes and beacons were built in the north and south, forming a complete defense system.There are also corresponding counties and villages as a supporting civil system.There are hundreds of thousands of people who migrated in the early stage alone.

This is a long-term investment.As the years go by, the yield of the farmland reclaimed locally increases and the food is abundant, then the materials transported from other places can be greatly reduced, forming a stable line of defense, and finally digesting these lands.

Zhang Liang originally thought that Zhao Shuang cared about the 20 troops, but now it seems that the other party's tolerance is far wider than he thought.

"But now in the Kanto region, taking advantage of Chen Sheng's power, the old ministers of the six countries swarmed up, gathering hundreds of thousands of people. I heard that Chen Sheng's troops crossed the river north and invaded the land of Zhao. There were many people responding. The world The capital city, five or six out of ten have fallen into the hands of these people. The empire's financial resources are becoming increasingly scarce, and coupled with military expenses, can it still cope with the northern border?"

"Six or seven out of ten of the goods in the world are all in Guanzhong. As long as the expenses of the royal family and hundreds of officials are reduced, a lot of material money can be saved."

Zhang Liang opened his eyes wide, looking a little surprised.

Hu Hai was banned, and the royal family's expenses were naturally much less.But among them, it is not only the money that Hu Hai needs to spend on his personal extravagant enjoyment, but also the corresponding personnel expenses and maintenance costs of the palace. A large number of beauties such as concubines, clan girls, court ladies and so on from the six kingdoms palaces need to be raised.

In addition, there are 70 prisoners on Lishan Mountain, slaves of the royal family.

If Zhao Shuang cut them down one by one, a large number of people would be unemployed!

What's more, the treatment of hundreds of officials will be reduced.

"So, this Xianyang can't stay anymore."

Zhao Shuang took a sip of tea, smiled softly, turned his head and looked aside, Wei Zhuang walked in.

Zhang Liang's nose twitched slightly, a little sensitive.

There was a bloody smell from Wei Zhuang's body, although it was very faint, it still existed.Zhang Liang didn't understand what kind of bloody smell he was in, so that the smell of bloody blood hadn't dissipated until now.

"How is it?"

"The disobedient people have shut their mouths forever, and the cost reduction has been done."

Zhang Liang listened, but did not ask Wei Zhuang how he did it.Thinking about it, it would definitely not be a gentle "persuasion".

"Seal the palace, disperse the servants and maids, release the prisoners, give the women of the right age to the meritorious soldiers, and let go of the honor of the officials. After these things are done, I am afraid that I will not be able to hang out in Xianyang."

Zhao Shuang handed Wei Zhuang a cup of tea, and the other party took it and took a sip.

"Then where are you planning to go?"

Facing Wei Zhuang's question, Zhao Shuang already had an answer and said.

"Chang'an!"

Daze Mountain.

"Ah Yan, how can you be so calm?"

Tian Hu was beside Tian Yan, anxious like a monkey sitting on a hot pot.

"Ah Yan, you made great contributions to the army that resisted the empire, and you became a hero because of it. But after Chen Sheng led his soldiers and horses to capture the land of Chen, he joined forces with the old officials of Wei and Han to establish himself as king. It is clear that you, a hero, are not taken seriously."

Tian Yan was not in a hurry, even after listening to Tian Hu's words, he still looked the same, not in a hurry.

"The farmer's disciples obviously contributed to securing such a large territory, but now, Chen Sheng has all the credit for it."

Situ Wanli was beside him, also aggrieved.

Tian Yan still waited until the figure of the Zhu family appeared outside the hall, and she was finally moved.

"How is it?"

"Something's not right."

"What did Chen Sheng do again?"

Facing Tian Hu's questioning, the Zhu family explained.

"It's not Chen Sheng, it's the news from Guanzhong."

"Guanzhong?"

Tian Hu and Situ Wanli didn't understand. Seeing Chen Sheng proclaiming himself a queen and about to attack the peasant family, how could Tian Yan care about the news from Guanzhong?

"After Zhao Shuang became the prime minister, he took control of the great affairs of the empire. Recently, the palace of the empire was sealed off, the servants were dismissed, all officials were dismissed, the shogunate was moved to Chang'an, and the inner history was divided into counties. The son of the Liang family of the county filled the Habayashi. At the same time, he also changed his Jincheng cavalry into the Huben army, and guarded Chang'an with the Habayashi army from south to north."

"What about the Northern River Army?"

"According to the information sent by the eyeliner in Guanzhong, the North River Army shows no sign of withdrawing. The people of Jiuyuan County and Shang County no longer flee, and have stabilized."

"So, the military strength in Guanzhong hasn't changed much."

The Zhu family nodded and said.

"There are legends in Guanzhong, saying that Zhao Shuang is going to abolish Hu Hai and establish himself as emperor."

Tian Hu waved his hand and said.

"Is this still a legend?"

"No, it's not that simple."

Tian Yan's face was solemn, not as frivolous as Tian Hu.

"Zhao Shuang is integrating internal and external forces and accumulating strength. Once he is completed, he will be the number one prince in the world. At that time, there are tigers and habayashi inside, and old imperial troops from all walks of life outside. The situation may become more complicated .”

"But this has nothing to do with us. Between us and Zhao Shuang, there is still a Chen Sheng!"

The corners of Tian Yan's mouth curled up slightly, and there was a cold light in his eyes.

"No, I'm about to tell Uncle Chen Sheng the benefits and disadvantages of it."
