I’m The King Chapter 1172: : Carrying forward the past and ushering in the future (sixty-two) a bolt from the blue

He returned to his general's mansion with heavy steps, and locked himself in the study. The few newspapers that Wang Minghui had thrown away, he smoothed them and brought them back before leaving, and they were lying on the table at this time. I read it word by word. Just like what he said to Wang Minghui now, Gao Yuan constituted his own army, and the army leaders were publicly published on this kind of newspaper, which reflected a kind of self-confidence and a kind of pride.

However, Daqin is getting worse and worse. Last year, his 50,000 troops in Yingchuan were able to get the full amount of military pay, food and various supplies allocated by the court, but in the first half of this year, they only got 80% , and in the second half of the year, it is not bad to get 50% in the end. Seeing that it has entered the depths of winter, the army is still short of nearly 20,000 sets of cotton-padded clothes and cotton-wool quilts that have not been distributed. In desperation, Tan Feng can only reduce the army Try to keep those soldiers who have not received the cotton-padded clothes in the barracks as much as possible to ensure that they will not suffer unnecessary injuries due to the cold weather.

The army used to be the cornerstone of the Great Qin. If the needs of the army start to fall behind, I am afraid that the Great Qin Dynasty will really be overwhelmed. Thinking of this, he spread out the information about the banknotes to be issued by the Central Bank of Han, and carefully read every word. Tan Feng himself is not just a simple general, he also has dabbles in the economy and people's livelihood. The trade agreement signed between the Han State and the Qin State brought a large amount of high-quality and cheap Han products into the Qin State, which greatly affected the local industry and commerce of the Qin State. Tan Feng now has a vague idea of ​​the consequences. I know, that is, a large amount of gold and silver flowed to Han, so what is the purpose of Gao Yuan setting up this central bank now? Is it just to solve the inconvenience of precious metals in circulation?

Is there some kind of conspiracy here?

The current Tan Feng. Subconsciously connects Gao Yuan's every move with a conspiracy.

Tan Feng has been in Qin State for many years. When he first came, he admired Li Ru for gathering the power of the whole country to ensure the strength of Qin State's central regime and the sharpness of the army's attack power. But now he finally recognized. All of this needs to be based on the army winning one victory after another on the battlefield. Once the army is frustrated, this policy will immediately cause a series of bad consequences. If it fails, it needs to concentrate its forces. Building a stronger army requires more money, and the oppression of the people will be more severe, people's livelihood will be more difficult, and a large amount of farmland will be barren. With the decline of business and the reduction of national taxes, in order to receive more taxes, stricter domestic rule must be carried out. This is a vicious cycle. The final result is that, like Shu County now, the peasants There were explosions one after another. The local guards in Shu County were exhausted, and these local guards were inextricably linked with the local area, so the extermination operation became a bit strange. It became a cat-and-mouse game, so that in the end the regular army had to be mobilized to start the campaign. Although the situation has stabilized a bit now, Tan Feng does not think that the matter is over. The temporary calm may be brewing. Bigger storm.

When in the country of Yan. Tan Feng also held the power of the country, he is deeply aware of it. Farmers are the most docile and honest group. As long as they have a bite to eat, they will never take risks and risk their heads to rebel. The successive uprisings and riots in Shu County can only show that the situation there has collapsed beyond measure.

A long time ago, in the eyes of Yan Guo, the mighty Great Qin could only look up to such a dangerous situation, and all of this was thanks to Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan dared to abolish hundreds of thousands of local guards in the country, which shows that he is quite confident in the security situation in the country. He only needs to rely on a small number of police officers to improve local law and order. This is unimaginable in Qin State .

My own series of reports on the Han Kingdom were handed over to King Qin's desk, and there was no more news about it. This made Tan Feng a little frustrated. He thought that the current Great Qin was already riddled with wounds. Well, if you are determined to reform, it won't take long for this big ship to sink.

Based on this understanding, he came together with Fan Sui, the chief assistant of the dynasty, because Fan Sui appreciated some of his analysis very much, and wrote to him many times to discuss whether a series of reform policies of the Han State could be transplanted to the Qin State .

Unfortunately, in Daqin, it is not Fan Sui who has a profound influence on the government, but Li Ru. It can only be tinkering, but cannot make substantive changes. Tan Feng didn't think that Li Ru didn't see the crisis Qin was facing now, but he insisted on not making any changes. Was it because he didn't want to lose in the academic battle with his younger brother Jiang Jiaquan?

In Tan Feng's view, Li Ru has already lost.

If the Qin State implements reforms, it will indeed touch many vested interests, but these people are vines attached to the big tree of the Qin State. As long as the army is firmly controlled, Tan Feng does not think they can How big the waves are turned out, and only when they are broken and then stand up, can there be a chance, the phoenix nirvana, and just now it is reborn from the ashes.

There is not much time left for the Qin State. The reason why the Han State Gaoyuan ceased war is because the domestic economy has been in a hurry due to the border wars over the years. It is necessary to stabilize the country first, but with the efficient administration of the Han State and a series of economic stimulus With the implementation of the policy, the speed of Han's recovery is far beyond that of Qin's. When Gao Yuan stabilized the domestic situation and the people's livelihood and economy began to recover, it was time for him to attack on a large scale.

Among Gao Yuan's economic policies, there is a new term that makes Tan Feng feel fresh and new, that is, deficit management. In other words, Gao Yuan's Han court owes money every year. It is typical to eat more than enough food without money, ask for debts to survive, exchange for last year's money, and borrow for next year's money, but what did Gao Yuan do with the borrowed money? Large-scale projects such as road construction and water conservancy construction have never stopped in Han. These actions not only greatly stimulated the local economy, but also ensured the vigorous development of these local economies. In turn, economic development also promoted The prosperity of the Han Dynasty. Gaoyuan’s imperial court can always borrow large sums of money when they need it, and the money does not come from a certain class, but the entire Han people are paying the bill. Their common people have spare money in their hands, and they are willing to invest this spare money in the country to the debt. One is to pay respect to their king, and two, they can indeed earn money. For those farmers who are not good at management, it is better to invest the money in the national debt to earn interest. He is not afraid of loss. Because they have a king whom they admire. Over the years, Gao Yuan borrowed money year after year, but repaid it every year. His credit had already been established.

In Qin, is this possible?

Impossible, ordinary people have no money at all. They may still be thinking about where to earn money for food tomorrow tonight, but those who have money are the ones who know the details of the state of Qin the most. I am afraid they would rather quietly send the money to the state of Han If you go to buy the national debt of Han, you will not buy your own country.

The door creaked. The lights were flickering, and Tian Ji, who had replaced Tan Kang as the commander of his personal guard, walked in with the light in his hand. Tan Feng turned his head and looked out the window. Before he knew it, he had been locked in the study for a long time without realizing it It was almost dark.

Tian Ji is also an old man who followed him all the way from Yan State to Qin State, but apart from his military strength, he is also commendable, and other places are far from Tan Kang. There are not many who can help themselves.

"General, people from Xianyang have come to see the general. I'll let them wait in the living room first." Tian Ji put the oil lamp on top of the case, and whispered to Tan Feng: "Also, The madam has come several times to destroy the general and go back to eat."

"I see." Tan Feng nodded, his wife is a decent woman, and she is also pretty, but he treats her. But really can't talk about how much affection there is, the so-called respect for each other as guests. It is the politeness between the two of them, or. My enthusiasm has already been exhausted by another woman.

"There are people from Xianyang, and they are here to tell me about the military salary for the second half of the year. I can't make up the clothes for a while, right?" Tan Feng sneered. They will send someone to **** far less than the actual amount of things to complain to themselves.

"No, the person who came here called himself by name?" Tian Jidao.

"Name?" Tan Feng asked casually. As soon as the words came out, he suddenly realized something and jumped up, "Is he a man in his forties with a square face?"

"Yes, General, how do you know?"

"Bastard, this is the new leader of Black Ice Terrace, Mingtai!" Tan Feng said angrily, "Hurry up and invite General Mingtai to my study."

"Yes, I know!" Tian Ji was also a little panicked, he knew too well what the head of the Black Ice Platform meant.

Looking at Tian Ji's back, Tan Feng sighed. Tian Ji had just come up and didn't know much about the situation above. Mingtai had just replaced Zhong Li as the leader of the Black Ice Terrace. many.

Tan Feng is very sorry for Zhongli's resignation. As the actual controller of Yan Lingwei before Dayan, he fought against Zhongli. More understanding, this is one of the few clear-headed people in Qin, but once the emperor and courtiers, the new king will definitely not hand over an institution like the Black Ice Platform to an old man, the new king needs a person of his own People who are absolutely assured control this dark organization, but the ability of this famous station? Or in some aspects, Mingtai is not inferior to Zhongli, but in terms of the overall situation, it is definitely not as good as Zhongli.

It's just ~IndoMTL.com~ What is Mingtai doing here? A cloud of shadows filled Tan Feng's heart.

He stood at the door, looking forward, this is to show his attitude. Originally, as a general, he is much higher than Mingtai in terms of position. Mingtai is not Zhongli, but Tan Feng knows his position better. , in King Qin's heart, Mingtai is definitely more important than himself.

"Great general!" Under Tian Ji's guidance, Ming Tai, dressed in casual clothes, strode up to Tan Fengming, clasped his fists with both hands, and saluted Tan Feng.

"Commander Ming, what kind of wind is this that blows you, a busy person, to me?" Tan Feng laughed, returned the salute, stretched out his hand, led Mingtai and walked inward. "You haven't eaten yet. It's not a short journey from Xianyang to here. Tian Ji, don't dare to ask Madam to prepare it. I will have a few drinks with the famous commander later."

Walking into the study, Mingtai looked at Tan Feng and smiled, "General, it was a gust of wind that blows me here, I'm afraid the general will be a little displeased."

"Commander Ming is joking!" Tan Feng's heart sank slightly, but he still forced himself to laugh.

"General, Fan Sui and Fan Shoufu have been imprisoned!" (to be continued)
