Governing a big country is like cooking small fresh food. Any subtle changes in any system will have an immeasurable impact, so that the final product of a whole dish will be very different.

Even Li Chen is now afraid of being a mouse.

When others look at the current political situation of the Qin Empire, they say that the biggest problem of the prince lies in Zhao Xuanji, King Wen, and the reduction of the vassals.

But only Li Chen himself knew that compared these specific enemies, what really made him feel difficult was the stubborn and stubborn diseases accumulated by this empire over the past three hundred years, the old and rigid system that did not conform to Li Chen's policy program. These invisible enemies are his real enemy.

Looking at the past two years, Li Chen has used troops several times, which seems to be very fast, but in fact it is because he skipped the system and used his identity and authority to forcibly ignore the rules. But Li Chen knew very well that this was not possible.

In the future, if the government policy returns to stability, if Li Chen wants to establish a stronger empire, he must re-establish the authority of the system, and even put himself in the cage of the system, and the system governs the power. This is a good strategy to make the regime last for a long time.

It is unrealistic to just eat the rice bite and do things step by step, and it is done overnight.

Li Chen sighed and said to Su Zhenting: "The battle against Liao actually exposed too many problems."

"It seems that the Qin Dynasty only used the troops from Gansu and Shaanxi and Crescent Guard, but in fact... our palace could not move soldiers from other parts of the country at all."

This made Su Zhenting feel a little embarrassed. As a general of the Commander's Office, he actually knows the military situation across the country very well.

"The situation where soldiers are neglecting training is indeed very serious."

Li Chen raised his eyebrows, took out a secret memorial, and said, "This secret memorial was handed over by the East Factory three months ago when the palace was planning to use troops. You can take a look."

Su Zhenting stood up and took it.

Just a brief glance, Su Zhenting widened his eyes.

He thought that as a general of the Commander's Office, he had enough knowledge of the following situation, but this information from the East Factory was more real and bloody.

The actual situation was much worse than he thought.

"This investigation actually started when Su Pingbei led his army to support the Korean War. At that time, I planned to transfer a few troops, but it was greatly resisted. In the end, it used the Liaodong Army to do something. Later, I ordered the Dongchang to investigate all over the country. Just some real and reliable crimes with real evidence, I loaded three carriages. The garrison offices in more than ten provinces across the country wrote three secret books. All you see is one of them."

Li Chen's tone became heavier and said, "In this secret memorial, there are 36,257 officers and soldiers in Huai'an alone, but what is the number obtained after the Dongchang spies checked? How many empty salary is there if there are less than 7,000 people? There are nearly 30,000 people here!"

"Those officers who are military officers extend their hands to take away 30,000 military pay from the court every year, and Huai'an reports material loss and soldiers' pensions every year, which is less than one ten real."
