The villain system of Mingyue in Qin Dynasty

Weiyang Palace, front hall.

Ying Ziyi is dressed in the imperial robe of the Twelve Chapters of Sun, Moon and Stars, with a crown on his head, sitting on the throne.

Below, hundreds of officials were debating whether to use troops to leave the country and regain the lost territory.

After the defeat of Xingyang, Prince Fusu retreated to Chen County and guarded the territory of five counties with more than 200,000 troops.

Later, Tian Dan rebelled against Di County, killed the county guard, and plundered Qi territory eastward. Xiang Liang rebelled in Kuaiji and supported his troops between the Jianghuai River and Huaihe River.

In addition to these two larger forces, Wei Jiu, Ying Bu, Gong Ao, Zhang Er, Chen Yu, etc. rebelled one after another, either guarding one county, or two or three counties.

These rebels supported Fusu, the young master in Chen County, as emperor. Prince Fusu successively granted him the title of king and marquis, and restored the six kingdoms.

In just a few months, the empire lost territory in the east.

During the period of national mourning, troops could not be mobilized, so Ying Ziyi only ordered the soldiers in Guanzhong to guard the four passes, and the soldiers from various counties to guard the territory. And it is impossible for the young master Fusu to send troops to the west and be accused of being unfilial.

Therefore, although there have been rebellions in various counties and counties in Guandong in the past few months, the situation in the world is generally calm.

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

"Your Majesty, Fu Su rebelled, usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and disrupted our state of Qin. If we don't ask for help, how can we calm the hearts of the people of the world? If we don't ask for help, how can we face the generals of the Qin Dynasty? If we don't ask for help, how can we comfort the previous emperors?"

In the court, a minister burst into tears, looking haggard and crying.

Damn it, Oscar winner!

Ying Ziyi sighed in his heart. If Ying Ziyi hadn't known that Xiang Liang had occupied a thousand hectares of land in Wudi by Xiang Liang and used it for military purposes, Ying Ziyi would not have doubted his loyalty.

"What the Marquis Jiancheng said is absolutely true. Although the rebels are strong at this moment, they are still just a mob. Your Majesty is so majestic that the army marches eastward, and the potential is completed in one battle.

Ying Ziyi nodded. This man has 500 hectares of land in Chen County, which is all good farmland.

……..

"What the Marquis of Guangling said is wrong! What is a rabble? The remnants of the six kingdoms support Su as the emperor, and he is a splendid military man. The false emperor Fusu supports more than 200,000 rebels, thousands of chariots, and thousands of horsemen. All around are large and small. The rebels may have thousands of troops, or tens of thousands of them. How can our Guanzhong army leave lightly at this time?"

"What Mr. Wang said is absolutely true!..."

Ying Ziyi nodded again. Those who had objected to leaving immediately were all whose fields were not in enemy-occupied areas.

They have only one idea. Anyway, my field is not occupied by others. Whoever likes to be anxious is anxious!

Everyone had been talking for a long time, and Ying Ziyi was getting tired of listening.

"Your Majesty Xianyang ordered Xiao He to report something!"

After getting a chance, Xiao He stood up and reported.

"What's the matter?"

"The price of food in Xianyang has risen sharply recently. It has reached more than 200 yuan per stone. Please make your decision."

Among the ministers, there were quite a few who were disdainful. What they are discussing now is a major military matter. Can we just leave things like pacifying food prices to the Pinghuai Order? As a Xianyang order, this Xiao He is really lenient!

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

"Yes! It is indeed a thing. I heard that food prices have risen sharply in various places." Ying Ziyi nodded, "Xiao He, do you have any good ideas?"

"Well?" The courtiers were mediocre people. After hearing this, they already noticed something was wrong.

"I request that Changping granaries be built in various counties in Xianyang to stabilize food prices in various places."

Among the ministers, there were whispers of dissent. If Changping warehouses are established in various places, then a civilian warehousing system will undoubtedly be established.

"Where does the food come from?" Ying Ziyi then asked.

Just build some warehouses, where will the food in them be transferred?

"Xianyang Cang, Bashang Cang, and Yueyang Cang store a lot of grain. Please allocate some of it."

"Huang Miao!" Before Xiao He could finish speaking, someone among the courtiers waved their sleeves and said angrily: "These three warehouses are used to supply the capital and protect the armaments in Guanzhong. The forbidden army, the border army, the palace, and even Lishan Mountain Many of the prisoners have their own specialties. How can they be treated lightly?"

"I am about to report the 700,000 prisoners in Lishan." Nei Shi Mengyi came up and reported.

As soon as Meng Yi came out, the courtiers who had been reprimanding loudly just now fell silent.

The Meng family has been favored in all dynasties, and their favor continues to this day. The two Meng brothers, Meng Tian, ​​commanded an army of 300,000 troops, and Meng Yi even sent the imperial seal to Xianyang. With this great achievement, Meng Yi succeeded Meng Tian as internal history and minister.

"allow!"

"Your Majesty has ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, but these 700,000 prisoners are still in Guanzhong. Although they have been freed from slavery, they are leisurely all day long, and they may cause trouble for a long time. I ask your Majesty to divide the land into various places."

Ying Ziyi nodded and said, "Where should we place it?"

"Hanzhong County, Shu County, Ba County, Nanyang County, Beidi County, Shang County, Jiuyuan County, Longxi County. They can be sent to various places to garrison the fields and guard the key points!"

"How should grain production be distributed?" Ying Ziyi then asked.

"The court can agree with him that as long as he cultivates it for three years, the cultivated land will be his private property. Within three years, the court will charge 50% of the grain produced, and the remaining 50% will be his private property."

"Can!"

"With these 700,000 prisoners distributed to various places, the pressure on the internal history will be greatly reduced, and part of the grain can be taken out of Xianyang warehouse to build Changping warehouse." Meng Yi said.

"Good!" Ying Ziyi waved his hand, indicating that this is what he should do!

"Your Majesty Li Zuoche has something to report!"

"allow!"

"To the west of Longxi County, the land is vast and difficult to govern. I request you to separate counties and establish a Western Region Protectorate to facilitate the court's management."

"Can!"

Ying Ziyi waved his hand, and the chamberlain beside him shouted at the top of his voice: "Retreat from the court!"

After the unification process, the ministers were all overwhelmed. What still hasn't been figured out? It's over.

What about the business as promised?

What about sending troops to quell the rebellion?

Why is it that after just getting started, there is no follow-up?

Seeing Ying Ziyi walking away, the courtiers kneeling on the ground looked at each other, scratched their heads, and walked out inexplicably.

On the high platform in front of Weiyang Palace, Prime Minister Feng Quji on the right and Prime Minister Li Si on the left stood side by side, only a few steps apart.

The two prime ministers of Da Qin had not stood together like this for a long time.

Feng Quji was a high official of the Qin State, while Li Si was a commoner in Shangcai. The two had never had any personal relationship, and they only nodded when they met. Their relationship could be described as cold.

The two of them had never stood together like this. However, this time, it was not intentional to reminisce about the past.

The huge front hall of Weiyang Palace has an extremely broad view, with tigers standing guard in it, five-foot-long flags flying, majestic and solemn. The two prime ministers looked at the clouds on the sky and sighed.

An era may be coming to an end!

The two prime ministers of Great Qin suddenly felt a little lonely, exchanged hands and went their separate ways.
