When Lu Buwei, Han Fei, Li Si and others came to the study room of Xianyang Palace one after another, Zhao Huaizhong had just put away the Nine Beast Bow.
He was thinking about finding an opportunity to test the power of this fairy weapon.
The officials of the Qin Dynasty gathered together and started a small court meeting with Zhao Huaizhong to discuss state affairs.
"How are the food and property reserves in various places in our Qin territory now?" Zhao Huaizhong asked.
Li Si, who was wearing a black official robe, responded:
"Since last year, in compliance with the king's instructions, our Qin territory has expanded the planting of wheat and rice, and changed it to two crops a year. Although the initial planting did not have a good effect, the overall income is still higher than in previous years.
In various parts of the Qin territory, there is currently an abundance of loose grain, a rich national treasury, and preserved fruits and dried vegetables are available in every household.
It is foreseeable that the coming year will be a good one.”
Zhao Huaizhong pondered: "After annexing Wei, if we immediately turn to attack Chu, will our Qin army prepare grain, grass and other supplies to support it?"
The ministers were immediately surprised.
As his thoughts whirled around, Lu Buwei said: "Your Majesty is worried that the demon clan, Jie Jiao and other forces will obstruct you, and wants to annex the six countries as soon as possible to strengthen our Great Qin!"
Zhao Huaizhong hummed.
It is true that because of his profound background in Jie Jiao and the Yao Clan, he has the plan to cut off the beard with a sharp sword and establish a kingdom as soon as possible.
Han Fei, Li Si, Lu Buwei and others were all his direct descendants. They were shocked and thought silently.
"Your Majesty wants to attack Chu as soon as possible, and I should do my best to push it forward as soon as possible.
But no matter how fast we go, we still need to digest the gains from destroying Wei first, otherwise there will be repetitions, confusion, and more time."
Lu Buwei and Li Si, Han Fei looked at each other and said:
"I think that even if everything goes well, it will at least be next summer and autumn before we can initially stabilize the Wei territory, reduce hidden dangers, and prepare to attack Chu."
Zhao Huaizhong nodded slightly.
Winter is approaching now. If Chu can be attacked next spring or summer, it will only be around October, less than a year. If we want to properly digest the gains from destroying Wei, we cannot go any faster.
Things to be done in the next few months require intensive arrangements.
Zhao Huaizhong discussed with several ministers for more than half an hour before they resigned and left.
The next morning, after the court meeting, Li Si walked into the study again: "Your Majesty, there is a man who calls himself Wei Liao and wants to see your Majesty.
This person has quite some background and is inherited from the Guigu lineage.
Yesterday, his greeting message appeared directly on the desk in the minister's palace. Today, I received a message from him again. He has extraordinary means and is of the same lineage. He has some connections with Jixia Academy where I was born. I came here to ask if the king wants to see him.
This person?"
Wei Liao... This man came much later than expected... Zhao Huaizhong thought to himself: "Bring him to see me."
"promise!"
When Li Si sent someone to tell Wei Liao to enter the palace, Zhao Huaizhong had ups and downs in his thoughts.
Historically, Wei Liao was an important minister under the First Emperor. He was worshiped as Guowei (one of the three princes, equivalent to a Taiwei). His rank was only slightly lower than that of the Prime Minister, equivalent to the highest military officer.
Wang Jian and other extraordinary talents are more suitable for commanding troops to fight, but in terms of military theory and overall view, they are inferior to Wei Liao.
It can be seen that he is a talented person.
Wei Liao is not only a master of military art, but also the inheritor of the Zongheng lineage.
His achievements in the art of war were so high that he was honored as one of the Four Saints by later generations. He helped the First Emperor to pacify the six kingdoms faster.
The military sage Sun Wu, the sub-sage Wu Qi, the planning sage Sun Bin, and the Wei sage Wei Liao.
Wei Liao is juxtaposed with Sun Bin, Sun Wu, and Wu Qi, which shows his historical status.
It is said that this person is also proficient in alchemy and practices the ways of ghosts and gods. I wonder what he will be like in this world.
Zhao Huaizhong wanted to further strengthen the Qin Dynasty, so he sent an order to Ye Yufu to search for famous ministers and generals in history.
But after all, there is a big deviation between this world and history, and many people have searched for it but failed to find it.
Wei Liao came uninvited, which is similar to the historical trajectory.
In history, ten years after the First Emperor ascended the throne, before preparing to attack the six kingdoms, Wei Liao also took the initiative to join the Qin Dynasty to offer advice and then became an official.
