Qin asked

Qin State, inside Xianyang Palace.

Today, Gan Luo is teaching Fusu. Compared with Chunyuyue's teaching, although mathematics is more brain-intensive, Gan Luo's class is obviously easier - the main reason is that Gan Luo followed Mo Dou's advice and divided the class hours and rest time Arranged together reasonably, let Fusu have time to breathe.

In the past at this time, Fusu always seized the time to read some strange books. Like Ying Zheng, he is a liberal arts student. Although he is talented in mathematics, he still suffers from headaches. Recess time went to Ganluo.

Fusu knelt down towards Gan Luo and saluted Gan Luo respectfully: "Teacher."

Gan Luo glanced at Fusu quite unexpectedly, then put down the ledger and abacus in his hand: "What's the matter, eldest son?"

Fusu hesitated for a moment, and then said, "What does the Tai Tuo think of those one hundred thousand captives?"

captive?

Gan Luo was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that he had heard about this matter a little, and it caused a lot of shock both inside and outside the government and the public. He thought for a while and asked, "What do you think, my lord?"

Fusu was a little embarrassed, he glanced at Gan Luo, Gan Luo nodded gently: "Young master, it's okay to say."

"Cun Taifu is very dissatisfied with the father because of this matter." Fu Su paused, and finally expressed his own thoughts, "Gu also thinks something is wrong."

Gan Luo was persuasive and persuasive: "My lord thinks something is wrong."

Fusu thought for a while, took out a pencil, and wrote down one by one on a piece of paper: "Arouse public resentment, and it may be difficult to settle down in Nine Cities."

"With such a pressing force, the enemy country may jump over the wall in a hurry."

"In addition, there are ministers of the DPRK and China, many of whom are foreigners. When this matter comes out, they are all disturbed."

"And the reputation of my father and the state of Qin..."

Having said that, it is hard for Fusu to continue. Qin's reputation has always been not very good, which made him very aggrieved, and the massacre of [-] prisoners just now seemed to tell him that this is the truth, Qin The country is what they call Tyranny of Qin, Fusu grew up with Chunyuyue Confucian education, this recognition made him quite uncomfortable.

Gan Luo looked at the points listed by Fusu, and couldn't find anything wrong for a while. The third point, Gan Luo took it for granted. Recently, many people have indeed moved out of Qianjin Pavilion, not only from Zhao, but also from other countries. After all, no one is sure whether Qin's knife will fall on their own country. Even Wei Liao gradually began to claim that he was ill and could not go to court, which made Ying Zheng very annoyed.

Gan Luo picked up the paper, diverted his attention, and thought about how to explain this matter to Fusu: "These methods are taught by Taifu Chun?"

Fu Su shook his head: "It's Mo Dou's teaching orphan."

In front of outsiders, there is absolutely no reason to be called 'Uncle Mo Dou'.

Gan Luo was not surprised. Of course, this kind of thinking that requires logical relationships cannot be taught by Chunyu Yue, a Confucian scholar: "I heard that Mo Dou has also annoyed the king because of this incident recently..."

Fusu pursed her lips and nodded. Mo Dou had been pestering Yingzheng for the past few days, but Yingzheng got impatient and asked him whether it was because of his father's death that he was so obsessed with this matter.

Mo Dou's father died in the Battle of Changping, and as everyone knows, Bai Qikeng killed 40 Zhao troops in the Battle of Changping...

At that time, the two of them did not have time to avoid others, so this incident caused a lot of trouble. Many people also knew Mo Dou's life experience, and they were all waiting to see the good show. They were already jealous of Ying Zheng's favor for Mo Dou, I hope this little carpenter with no official position will fall soon.

Gan Luo didn't ask any further questions. He couldn't participate in this matter. All he could do was to guide Fusu. He dug out the account book and showed it to Fusu: "My lord, please take a look. This is Qin's income for this year."

Because of the glass products, Qin State's income is very considerable. Fusu's eyes brightened when he saw it, but he frowned immediately: "This account is not right."

He grew up in the workshop of the ink fountain since he was a child, and he is well aware of the number of glass products. There are too few glasses in this book.

"My lord, do you still remember Guowei's strategy?"

Fusu silently shut his mouth, of course he remembered: "Don't love property, bribe your noble ministers to mess with his plan", to draw the key point, don't love property, glass or something is of course given away!

a little heartache...

Gan Luo silently took out another account book of grain income and expenditure, and the data on it only reached a certain balance. Gan Luo glanced at Fusu who was about to ask questions: "Young master, do you want to ask?" Why don't you buy food with gold and silver?"

Fusu nodded. Although the glass was sold less and given away more, the income was still considerable.

Gan Luo skillfully overturned the grain ledger to the end of the previous year's income. Just two years ago, Qin State bought a large amount of grain from Zhao State. At that time, Zhao State and Qin State had not yet fought. Qin State replaced Zhao State and became the main grain purchasing country of Qin State.

There is a reason why Yingzheng helped Wei attack Chu before, besides training his own generals, there is also a reason to buy food...

Fusu very consciously began to look through it himself. He found that the grain output of the Qin State was steadily increasing year by year. Of course, most of it was the credit of Mo Dou. The state of Qin lost a large amount of losses, and part of the surplus food disappeared, and the other part was filled into the bottomless pit of the army-at least all the soldiers could be fed. Meng Tian once dreamed.

And that part of the food that disappeared was stuffed into the belly of the nobleman...

Although the state of Qin has undergone reforms, it is still a slavery country. It is still dominated by enfeoffment, and taxes and taxes are in the hands of the enfeoffment king. They pay tribute on time, and those who are respectful will increase their tribute because of the increase in income. Those who are disrespectful take all those benefits into their own arms, and don't keep a single one of them for Ying Zheng.

Gan Luo explained to this point, and said in an extremely mocking tone: "The things that the king worked so hard to promote, the benefits are all given to the enfeoffed subjects. If things go on like this, Qin will inevitably become the second big Zhou. Unfortunately, there are still people who think that Your Majesty has a good name, and he insists on using the Zhou system."

For example, Chunyu Yue, but he really wants to do Ying Zheng's good...

Fusu didn't speak, but silently took out a blank sheet of paper to calculate. If the captives were to be resettled, they would not only have to be given one year's rations, but also good seeds. Based on the current increase in grain in Qin, it would probably take several years to wait. years to afford the resettlement costs of [-] troops.

"More than that, take this county as an example," Gan Luo took out a map, "Please look, my lord, the above is the land that has been reclaimed. Since the Quyuanli, the land for growing grain has increased. The land is getting smaller and smaller, and there are not many people in a county. If a hundred thousand troops are allocated one by one, and there are not many people who know how to count like ministers, if they really want to do something, how long should they be allocated?"

"Then what if it is directly arranged in the Zhao land that was just conquered?"

"It's okay if the native land is in the Nine Cities, but if they are recruited from the neighboring cities to serve as soldiers, I'm afraid that Cao Gu Yadou will have to run away."

Fusu was dumbfounded, indeed, it would be okay if he was thrown into the mainland of Qin, but if he was thrown into the Nine Cities—the homeland is right in front of him, there is no reason not to go back, even if he crawled back, he would have to crawl back.

"Young master, the reason why the king did this is because he can only do this."

Counting from east to west, the only option turned out to be to kill the matter directly. Fusu looked at the piles of books in front of him, and a sense of powerlessness slowly rose from the bottom of his heart: "Is this the only way?"

Gan Luo slowly sorted out the account books: "If you can't bear it, you can let him go."

Fu Su stared blankly: "How can you be worthy of Qin's soldiers who died in battle?"

"Yes, so Qin people all talk about killing people, others say that Qin is cruel, after all, they have different positions." Gan Luo's face is light, he is from Qin, and of course he is more inclined to the interests of Qin, "First there is Qin, then there is Qin. We wait."

"That's it," a voice picked up Gan Luo's words, "You must first be the King of Qin before you can become the Lord of the World."

When Gan Luo and Fusu saw Ying Zheng, they quickly stood up and saluted. Ying Zheng waved his hands to make them stand up straight, then turned to look at Mo Dou beside him, and asked, "Do you understand?"

Mo Dou glanced at the people present, and then walked straight to the ledgers. Ying Zheng followed Mo Dou to look through them, with a vague expression on his face.

Mo Dou quickly flipped through the ledger, and with a rough idea in mind, he got up and saluted Ying Zheng: "Dou understands."

Ying Zheng looked at Mo Dou and asked, "Should the prisoner be beheaded?"

Mo Dou replied, "No."

……

Such a bold and reckless act, Rao Gan Luo who was on the side couldn't help but sweat for Mo Dou.

But Mo Dou unexpectedly relaxed. He had been worried that the murder of captives was Ying Zheng's problem. He was afraid that Ying Zheng would not treat people from other countries as human beings, but it seems that this is not the case. Well, he exists to solve this problem, doesn't he?

"There is a difference between being able to be beheaded and not being beheaded." Mo Dou was very courageous. He smiled slightly and asked, "Do you still remember what you promised to fight?"

Ying Zheng frowned. He was a bit confused about Mo Dou. At first he thought that Mo Dou opposed the murder because he didn't understand Qin's situation, but later he found out that the other party didn't understand Qin's difficulties. Because of the death of his father and the identity of Zhao Ren, he opposed the murder...but obviously not...

Ying Zheng still remembers the innocent and confused look in Mo Dou's eyes when he questioned him...

But now, Mo Dou seems to be talking to him from a strange dimension. This feeling is very bad. Ying Zheng always feels that he has become narrow and paranoid under the comparison.

He replied with a stiff face: "Of course I remember."

It was agreed at the beginning that once Mo Dou satisfied Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng would like Mo Dou more.

Mo Dou nodded in satisfaction, then hurriedly said his goodbyes and left. In order to avoid suspicion all these years, he only devoted himself to making things, and he didn't even see how much benefit these things produced. Now it seems that Qin has a great appetite, and the things he made are far away. Not enough.
