Daqin: Take the bamboo shoots, Zulong eavesdropped on my heart!

Meng Tian paused, then changed his voice, and immediately said, "In the northern border of the Great Wall, there are 30 Meng family troops, and hundreds of thousands of laborers, adding up to more than one million. Meng Tian, ​​whenever he thinks about the imperial court, he is nervous, but You have to give us so much food again, and you don't feel very sad... The people of the world, I'm afraid they have scolded us people so badly..."

"General Meng... How can someone who eats official food not be scolded?"

After Feng Zheng heard this, he sighed and said, "Being scolded is a matter of course. If the people don't scold, it's either because we did a good job or we did a bad job. Now, we don't take advantage of both ends. Scolding is normal."

"The Marquis of Chang'an is so young, Meng Tian is very surprised to have such an idea..."

Meng Tian sighed and laughed, and then said, "So, Meng Tian thought...these improvements made by the Marquis of Chang'an are really useful. If the entire Great Wall can be arranged in a short period of time, then The court doesn't need to give us so much food every year..."

That's right, if you don't work, you only eat one or two meals a day, and the degree of food and clothing is naturally not as good as when you work.

of course……

What Meng Tian meant was naturally that he wanted Feng Zheng to strive to expand the progress. After all, the current progress is gratifying, and if the Great Wall can be built one day earlier, then his hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses can go back early.

Of course, he also knew that Feng Zheng also said some things.

"yes……"

Feng Zheng laughed, and said lightly, "If it can be repaired in a month, that would be great... Unfortunately, there is not enough wood, and there is a shortage of tools such as iron..."

"Then, iron is not enough, can copperware be used?"

After hearing this, Meng Tian immediately asked.

Then, he added another sentence, "Besides the Great Wall, if you want to find trees, you can still find a lot... Besides, this is not iron, you can bring more from the south..."

"Oh, what General Meng said is exactly!"

Feng Zheng said with a smile, "Well, if we think of a way, we will have it... However, if we build it at the same time, we have to build it at the same time... In the end, I am afraid that the wood consumed will be several times more than Lishan Mountain! "

Hiss?

what?

After hearing Feng Zheng's words, Meng Tian's expression changed immediately.

"It takes so much?"

"That's how long the Great Wall is, General Meng knows better than me..."

Feng Zheng said with a smile, "How much wood was consumed just for this section of the road, and the nearby forests have been cut down! If the entire Great Wall is arranged like this..."

"This, this is..."

After hearing this, Meng Tian could only sigh.

That's right, no matter how good his Great Wall is, it can't be so arrogant and exaggerated...

"What's more, what's more important is iron..."

Feng Zheng sighed, "To tell you the truth, General Meng, I have forged all the [-] iron weapons you gave me and treated them as iron objects. Although the iron weapons made from these [-] weapons are not used up, General Meng is fully confident that the Your Majesty sent all the iron produced in Guanzhong?"

"This...of course it can't..."

After Meng Tian heard this, he quickly shook his head again.

The wood is fine, but the iron has a huge gap.

"Since you can't...then..."

Meng Tian sighed, "In the northern border, the imperial court can't allow so many idlers... just the lack of food is huge."

Oh, right?

Hearing Meng Tian's words, Feng Zheng was immediately happy.

All you need is your words!

Don't you want to let people go back?

Then I will find a way to let you take the initiative to put the person back!

Anyway, you definitely don't want to support hundreds of thousands of idlers.

"So, what did General Meng think of what Feng Zheng thought before?"

Feng Zheng said with a smile, "How about letting these 10 people come home in rotation?"

Chapter 794 The imperial court naturally cannot support so many idlers

rotation?

Then rotate it...

Meng Tian sighed inwardly, this rotation, no matter what, is still able to eat part of their own rations, in this way, it can naturally save a lot of food for the court.

"It's just that Marquis Chang'an is thinking about how to rotate?"

"I thought so……"

Feng Zheng said, "Today, the laborers along the Great Wall, more than 60, are divided into three groups. One group works here, the other group is on the road, and the other group is sent home. They are replaced with each other every two or three months. , Those who work here will be provided with the original rations, those who are on the road will be given half rations, and those who are at home will not be given rations, what does the general think?"

what?

After hearing Feng Zheng's words, Meng Tian was taken aback, "But you want three batches?"

"Oh, yeah..."

Feng Zheng smiled and said, "How long does it take for these laborers to return home? If they meet a long-distance journey and haven't returned home, they may be recruited again. Therefore, we must consider these and divide them into three groups. .

These laborers are no better than soldiers, and the journey home is extremely difficult. If they are not given food on the way, they may not be able to return home safely. "

"This, actually..."

Meng Tian said, "It's just that if these common people carry a lot of food on their bodies, I'm afraid they can't..."

"exactly……"

Feng Zheng smiled, "Therefore, I have a proposal."

"Which one?"

"Food cannot be distributed directly to the workers, otherwise, the thieves will definitely miss it."

Feng Zheng said, "Therefore, our Mengjia army will come here to provide part of the emergency, and the rest will be reported to the imperial court, and the imperial court will forward the original food supply to the counties and counties along the way, so that they can supply these laborers along the way. It’s enough to eat and drink as much as you want, plus a little bit of travel, in short, this way, you can save a lot of food compared to staying here with a group of people.”

"However..."

After hearing Feng Zheng's arrangement, Meng Tian also nodded accordingly.

Moreover, it is indeed as he said at the beginning, such an arrangement allows these laborers who have been here for several years to have time to return home, which is very gratifying.

only……

It's good to let these laborers go home temporarily, but it's a pity that his soldiers, which number as many as 30, still have to keep guarding along the Great Wall.

"In addition to these laborers, a rotation system can also be implemented for soldiers."

Feng Zheng said with a smile, "After all, there are not so many people here, and the soldiers will not be so busy. It is also a good thing for the whole army to allow them to return to their homes occasionally for reunion."

"Oh?"

After hearing this, Meng Tian's expression changed.

"My soldiers, can they go home in rotation?"

"yes……"

Feng Zheng smiled and said, "Didn't I say that, they don't have to be so busy in the future, don't they... 30 people, a bit too much..."

"Ah this..."

Meng Tian smiled wryly, and sighed slightly in his heart. In his opinion, what Feng Zheng said was somewhat short-sighted.

"Marquis of Chang'an, please forgive me, these 30 soldiers and horses can't be withdrawn like this..."

Meng Tian shook his head and said, "Our large army, the overseer is small, but the defense against the Huns is big, and the Huns have not withdrawn, how can we withdraw?"

"Oh, of course it is..."

Feng Zheng said with a smile, "The army supervisor is small, but the defense is large. Therefore, even if the laborers have withdrawn a lot, the army still cannot retreat in a hurry."

"Exactly..."

kindness?

Meng Tian was taken aback for a while, and then asked inexplicably, "Since this is the case, can we still rotate?"

"Of course it's possible... But something needs to be done."

"Do something? What?"

After hearing this, Meng Tian asked immediately.

"Simple, send 20 troops north."

uh... uh?

What the fuck?

what did you say?

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, Meng Tian was startled and sent 20 troops north?

At this moment?

Why do you do this?

"Marquis of Chang'an, please forgive Meng Tian for not knowing what he meant!"

Meng Tian asked in puzzlement, "At this moment, what is the purpose of sending a large army to the north? Also, what effect will it have?"

"Naturally to deter the Huns!"

Feng Zheng smiled and said, "Didn't we never enter the grasslands to fight the Huns on a large scale before? This time, let him come once! Then, we can sit back and relax!"

"Oh? 20 troops entered the grassland just for deterrence?"

Meng Tian asked in puzzlement.

"yes……"

Feng Zheng said, "It is to let the Huns understand that the rules of offense and defense are not up to them. If we give them such a move, the Huns must be shocked in a short time! They will come out in full force, Come to harass us? At that time, we will have 10 people here and 30 people, will the difference be that big?"

"This……"

"Such a move will consume some food and grass, but the soldiers are here to stick to the Great Wall, don't they have to eat?"

Feng Zheng said with a smile, "After this move, the Huns will definitely be in shock, and our people will naturally be able to stick to this place a little less... When the Huns come to their senses, it will not be just us We will deal with the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu will naturally be involved."

"It makes sense..."

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, Meng Tian suddenly realized.

"However, this matter still needs to be submitted to His Majesty for reading..."

"Yeah... Naturally, His Majesty has to decide at most..."

Feng Zhengxin said, when I was in Xianyang, I presided over the cabinet and helped Lao Zhao deal with these matters.

Now that I'm gone, Lao Zhao will be in charge of one or two by himself, and with Li Si's help, nothing will happen naturally.

Of course, what's more important is that during this period of time, he has already made arrangements, and nothing big will happen to the court.

Therefore, Qin Shihuang was naturally not tired.

"Of course, after we send out our army, we can't just sit back and relax. Therefore, it is precisely because of this that we need to form a special cavalry to continue to harass the Huns!"

"Oh, but that's the case..."

After listening to Feng Zheng's words, Meng Tian understood.

No wonder Feng Zheng wanted to form a special cavalry. It turned out that it was for this purpose.

"Marquis of Chang'an, Meng Tian understands!"

Then Meng Tian smiled and said, "If that's the case, then Meng Tian can rest assured to make arrangements."

"Okay, then there is General Laumond."

"This... Marquis of Chang'an, apart from this, Meng Tian, ​​there is one more thing..."

As Meng Tian spoke, he hesitated to speak.
