This first emperor is awesome

Wang Li was dressed in military uniform, and he was already scorching hot, but now he was sweating profusely. Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, onto his eyes, and slid down his face.

"Your Majesty, even if the Lingnan counties are conscripted for monthly labor, it will take at least six years."

Wang Li thought about it and complained endlessly.

"I'll only give you two years, if you can't do it, I'll find someone who can do it."

Ying Zheng was very strong, with an aggressive tone.

"The final general is incompetent, please punish your Majesty."

Wang Li immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed his hands.

He knows how many brushes he has, two years?

Not to mention that a hundred giant warships may not all be launched even if His Majesty requests them.

The 15-meter rudder stock requires a thousand-year-old good wood to be soaked in a special process, and it will take half a year for this alone.

The keel and scull wood of each warship are made of rare and good wood that is stronger than copper and iron, and it takes a long time to process these materials.

There are also those iron nails and buckles, which are outrageously low in production and cannot be supplied at all.

Most of them are of unqualified quality and are directly returned to the furnace for scrap.

After the warship is built, it will take a lot of time to go into the water for sea trials, at least several months, to constantly find out problems and make repairs.

"Are you resisting the order?"

Ying Zheng said with an unreasonable look.

"Your Majesty, the last general really can't do it!"

Wang Li had a mournful face, feeling extremely wronged.

Ying Zheng cast a glance at Meng Yi, who was standing aside and secretly amused.

As if struck by lightning, Meng Yi quickly put away his smile, stood up solemnly and said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, two years is indeed too hasty, if the quality of the warship is not good, wouldn't it be a waste of the lives of the soldiers? "

Seeing Meng Yi begging for mercy, Wang Li was not happy at all.

The Wang family and the Meng family are at odds with each other, they are both outstanding generals of the Great Qin Empire, so they naturally have a heart to compare with each other.

If there is more competition for the favor of the Wang family, then the Meng family will naturally lose one point.

And if there is more Montessori, the Wang family will be less.

For hundreds of years, the Wang family and the Meng family have served the four kings of the Great Qin Dynasty, fighting openly and secretly, never less.

Just like Meng Tian controlled the Northern Legion, although His Majesty favored Mengshi, he also arranged for himself to be the deputy general of the Northern Legion to check the balance and avoid a situation where one family dominates the army.

"What you say makes sense, but six years is too long, and I can't wait that long."

Ying Zheng first agreed with Meng Yi's words, and then he still insisted.

"Your Majesty said it will take two years, but General Wang said it will take six years. In my opinion, it is better to make a compromise. How about four years?"

Meng Yi naturally understood His Majesty's intentions. He wanted to put pressure on Wang Li, a young man, and didn't really want him to complete the project in two years.

Otherwise, His Majesty wouldn't have cast a glance at him and let him stand up and act as a good old man.

According to his own heart, he was naturally willing to see Wang's misfortune, but he dared not disobey His Majesty's will.Meng Yi can still figure out which is more important.

"Four years?"

Ying Zheng showed a pensive look, looked at Wang Li who was kneeling on the ground with his head down, and immediately gave Meng Yi a wink.

"Your Majesty agreed, General Wang, why don't you thank Your Majesty for your kindness?"

Meng Yi understood God, and hurriedly said to Wang Li.

what?

Wang Li was still stupefied and stunned. Seeing His Majesty's complexion shrouded in dark clouds, he was so frightened that he quickly said without hesitation: "The final general thanks Your Majesty for his kindness."

"Okay, Meng Yi, you actually make a good claim for me?"

Ying Zheng showed displeasure, looked at Meng Yi, pretending to be angry and said.

"Your Majesty, you are guilty, please punish me."

Meng Yi hurriedly bent down and bowed his hands, saying with a look of sincerity and fear.

"Forget it, I think you have made great achievements, so I will forgive you this time."

Ying Zheng sighed and waved his hands.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Meng Yi bowed again, and then stood aside in a serious manner, as if nothing happened.

Wang Li felt that his mind was a little confused, looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, what about the general?"

"What? Are you still waiting for me to give you a reward? Get out and supervise the work."

"Remember it for me. Four years, if you exceed one day, I will punish you to guard the city at the Xianyang city checkpoint for one day."

Ying Zheng stretched out four fingers, glared at Wang Li, and said viciously.

Wang Li's face immediately turned into a pig liver color, guarding the checkpoint of Xianyang City?

Where else do I put my face?

I'm afraid that Wang's face will be lost by himself.

"The last general, go immediately, the last general will leave."

Wang Li cupped his hands and bowed, then panicked and hurriedly stood up and left the big tent.

Looking at Wang Li's back, a triumphant smile appeared on Ying Zheng's serious face.

Chapter 123 Qin Yu

"His Majesty's hundreds of warships sailing across the ocean, is the price too high?"

Tu Sui looked at His Majesty, quite worried.

"A giant warship can transport two thousand troops, and a large warship can transport one thousand troops."

Ying Zheng picked up a sailing training manual from the table and read it thoughtfully.

Tu Sui showed a pensive look, carefully pondering the outer strings of His Majesty's words.

The [-] navy doesn't need so many warships at all, His Majesty's implication...

"Your Majesty, since the Navy does not need such a large fleet to go to sea, why is it costing so much to build so many warships?"

Tu Sui was very puzzled, bowed his hands and asked for advice.

"Do you still remember Xu Fu?"

Ying Zheng said calmly while looking at the navigation training manual.

Xu Fu?

Didn't you go to Yingzhou?

Why did His Majesty suddenly mention him?

Of course he knew about Yingzhou, and this incident caused a sensation in the entire empire.

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't think much of the isolated island of Yingzhou. In his opinion, it was just a barren and barren land.

A group of livestock that drank their hair and shed their blood was useless to harvest and it was a pity to discard them.

It's just that as a subject, since His Majesty has such thoughts, I have nothing to say.

"Didn't Xu Fu take General Li You and General Feng Jie to Yingzhou in the East China Sea?"

"Your Majesty's purpose of building the ship this time is to go to Yingzhou?"

Tu Sui was full of doubts, this was the only result he could think of.

"Above the sea, there is not only Yingzhou, there are many fertile, vast and beautiful lands there."

Ying Zheng laughed loudly, his voice full of eagerness and passion.

"Your Majesty's ambition is so high that I cannot reach it."

Tu Sui bowed his hands and said with a smile.

Beyond the four seas, is there really a more vast and fertile land than Daqin?

It's incredible!

"Ren Xiao Zhao Tuo is your subordinate?"

Ying Zheng put down the naval training manual in his hand, looked at Tu Sui and asked suddenly.

"Return to Your Majesty, that's right."

Tu Sui was stunned, and said solemnly.

Why did His Majesty suddenly ask these two people?

"What is the character of these two people?"

Ying Zheng said in a low voice, the expression on his face was unpredictable.

Character?

"Your Majesty, Ren Xiao? Zhao Tuo made great achievements in the battle of pacifying Baiyue."

"These two lead the way and love their generals? They are deeply loved by the generals in the army."

"The minister has been in danger many times? It is also thanks to the two rescuers."

"In fact, he is the general of the country."

Tu Sui thought for a while, and then he was very appreciative of Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo's two subordinates.

Since His Majesty asked? I don't mind pushing the boat along the way, so that the two of them can make a good impression in front of His Majesty.

"In this way, the two are really rare good generals?"

Ying Zheng was unpredictable and said something intriguing.

Tu Sui's eyes flickered? Your Majesty's words are very worthy of scrutiny.

Is His Majesty planning to support these two people?

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Tu Sui bowed his hands immediately.

"Tu Sui? I want to borrow two people from you."

Ying Zheng stared at Tu Sui and said with deep meaning.

"Your Majesty, you are stupid, please make it clear."

Tu Sui thought about it, then said respectfully.

"There is no war in Zhongnan? It is only a matter of time before Zhongnan is conquered."

"War in the western border is about to start, I want to transfer a few capable generals to the western border to guard the border."

"Since you recommended Ren Xiao, Zhao Tuo and Zhao Tuo? I think these two are quite suitable."

Ying Zheng looked serious and worried.

"Your Majesty? Although the land of Baiyue is already owned by Daqin, there are no longer a few native people who are stubbornly resisting."

"Although the aborigines in Central and South China are vulnerable, they can guard the vast land. If there are no capable generals, it is really not at ease."

"Ren Xiao, the second general of Zhao Tuo is the minister's right-hand man, please learn from your Majesty."

With a heartbroken look on his face, Tu Sui complained endlessly to His Majesty.

"Tu Sui!"

"Didn't I send you a few generals?"

"Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, Fan Kui and others, which one is not easy to use?"

Ying Zheng looked at Tu Sui and said arrogantly without anger.
