Time Travel: The First Female Imperial Teacher of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 67 "General Meng massacred the city overnight!

"My dear Lord Feng." Ying Zheng looked at Feng Jie.

"I'm here." Feng Quji responded quickly.

"The affairs of the Shaofu are of great importance to the country." Ying Zheng looked at Feng Jie and said seriously, "I hope you can do your best to help my Great Qin conquer the world."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I am willing to donate all my family wealth as military pay." Feng Jie responded loudly.

"My Great Qin has not yet declined to the point where it needs money from its subjects." Ying Zheng shook his head. "Although the treasury of the Great Qin is empty, I can tell you that within half a year, the finances of the Great Qin will be restored to their original state, or even better than before. Besides, what I want is for the soldiers of the Great Qin to fight bravely, not to live on military pay."

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and continued, "Regarding the issue of military pay, I have considered it again and again and decided that from this year onwards, the military pay of the Qin army will be distributed uniformly by the court, and no one is allowed to deduct it."

"In addition, all soldiers who join the army will have their family taxes halved, their children can go to school for free, and they can participate in the imperial examination system." Ying Zheng said, turning to look at Feng Quji, "Lord Feng, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Yes!" Feng Quji bowed hurriedly and accepted the order.

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

All the ministers shouted in unison.

This arrangement by Ying Zheng was extremely thorough. It not only solved the problem of military pay, but also motivated the soldiers to join the army. More importantly, Ying Zheng also allowed the soldiers' children to go to school for free and participate in the imperial examination system, which was equivalent to giving the soldiers a path to official careers.

Anyone would be willing to join the army for such a good thing.

"Zhang Han." Ying Zheng shouted.

"I'm here." Zhang Han hurriedly stood up.

"You must hurry up and recruit the craftsmen for the Shaofu." Ying Zheng said solemnly, "The reason why our Qin cavalry suffered so few losses in this battle against the Yuezhi was all thanks to horseshoes and armor. Next, the Qin will continue to expand, and we must speed up the production of more armor, weapons, and horseshoes."

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "This matter concerns the fate of our Great Qin, and there must be no mistakes."

"Yes!" Zhang Han bowed and accepted the order.

"My dear Minister Feng." Ying Zheng looked at Feng Quji again.

"The minister is here."

"You must cooperate with Zhang Han on the affairs of the Shaofu." Ying Zheng reminded him, "If you have any difficulties, tell me in time."

"Yes!" Feng Quji responded quickly.

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, looked into the distance, and murmured to himself: "I didn't expect that Lin girl had such a good eye. She knew that the Shaofu was the most important thing."

"Yes." Feng Quji also sighed: "Mr. Lin has a sharp eye, and I am far inferior to him."

Ying Zheng smiled slightly: "I am relieved that she and the two ministers are in charge of the Shaofu."

Feng Quji and Zhang Han looked at each other and remained silent.

Indeed, with Lin Anlan around, there will definitely be no problem with the development of Shaofu.

After all, Lin Anlan understood too deeply the importance of the Shaofu.

As for Ying Zheng, he also understood that, given the current situation of the Qin Dynasty, if it wanted to support a long-term war, it had to rely on the Shaofu. Especially after the war with the Yuezhi, Ying Zheng realized more clearly that the Qin Dynasty was seriously short of craftsmen.

In the future, the Qin Dynasty needed to build the Great Wall, construct palaces, build houses, manufacture weapons, etc., all of which required a large number of craftsmen.

Moreover, Ying Zheng’s target was not just the Yuezhi country, he wanted to conquer the entire world.

This means that Daqin needs more craftsmen to support the war.

Therefore, Shaofu must grow and become stronger!

The next moment, another urgent report came from the border. After hearing the messenger's report, everyone's original excitement instantly turned into astonishment.

"General Meng slaughtered ten cities in one night!"

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue. It made everyone open their eyes wide and gasp.

"This, this, this is impossible!" Meng Yi's face turned even paler and his mind was in a trance.

You know, his brother Meng Tian was an extremely smart general, how could he do such a ridiculous thing? Massacres of cities always happened when the enemy invaded, to vent anger.

But his brother Meng Tian had just captured the Yuezhi capital last night. Logically, he should have defended the city. How could he suddenly go crazy and massacre ten cities in a row?

"Meng Yi, you heard it right." Ying Zheng glanced at Meng Yi and said calmly, "Meng Tian did massacre ten cities last night."

"But..." Ying Zheng paused and said with a smile: "These ten cities are not Yuezhi's cities, but Goguryeo's."

"What? From Goguryeo?" Meng Yi exclaimed.

Everyone else was also stunned.

Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "According to Meng Tian, ​​he accidentally discovered Goguryeo's sneak attack on our Qin soldiers while chasing the remaining enemies. Then he led 3,000 cavalry to chase them and captured ten cities of Goguryeo overnight!"

"It turns out to be like this..." Meng Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then a look of pride appeared on his face.

His brother is always so awesome!

"We congratulate Your Majesty, congratulations Your Majesty!" The ministers bowed in congratulations.

Ying Zheng raised his hand, signaling everyone to excuse themselves, and then slowly said: "The great victory in this battle is all due to the strategies provided by Mr. Lin. These strategies all played a key role in the actual battle."

As Ying Zheng spoke, his face did not show much joy, but rather a hint of worry.

"Your Majesty seems to still have something worrying about you?" Feng Quji asked cautiously.

Ying Zheng sighed and said, "I just received news that the Donghu will become the next Xiongnu. I am worried..."

Donghu? Everyone's face suddenly changed when they heard this.

The strength of the Donghu today should not be underestimated, and they are too far away from the Qin Dynasty. If a war really breaks out, the Qin Dynasty will probably be in great trouble.

"Your Majesty, how should we guard against the Donghu?" Feng Quji asked quickly.

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I have sent an order to Meng Tian, ​​Li Xin, and Wang Ben, ordering them to formulate a plan to attack Donghu as soon as possible and strive to completely conquer Donghu within half a month."

"The Donghu are not a concern. What I am really worried about are the other countries."

Ying Zheng glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Now my Great Qin has destroyed two countries in a row and intimidated the barbarians in all directions, but the strength of these countries should not be underestimated. Once they join hands, my Great Qin will face tremendous pressure."

"Therefore, I decided to reduce taxes for half a year!" Ying Zheng waved his sleeves and said loudly.

"From now on, all taxes for the people of Daqin will be reduced by half, and agriculture will be encouraged, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment without any worries! In addition, the incentive measures issued before are still valid. Any soldier willing to go to Baiyue and garrison at the Great Wall can get double salary!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" The ministers bowed again.

"Feng Jie." Ying Zheng looked at Feng Jie.

"I'm here." Feng Jie hurriedly stood up.

"The Yuezhi's minerals require a large number of craftsmen to mine. You should recruit more craftsmen to go to the Yuezhi as soon as possible." Ying Zheng ordered.

"Yes!" Feng Jie responded quickly.
