Lord Changping walked out of the queue leisurely and bowed his hands. Regarding the current situation of the Qin State, the more people who came to Qin from the Six Kingdoms of Guandong, the greater the burden they placed on the Qin State. According to what Taibu said, the current situation
The drought will continue for a long time.
If it is as Guo Wei Meng Wu said, Qin's move will lose the hearts of the people in the Kanto region and will harm Qin's policies in the future. If his actions are different from what Meng Wu said, Qin doesn't know how long it can sustain it.
Moreover, if the Qin State is under the pressure of both rivers and drought, and the six Kanto kingdoms jointly send troops, the pressure will increase tenfold. At this juncture, it is difficult to make a choice.
"Mr. Changping's words are wrong. If the people of our country are not protected, the road will be safe!"
"As mentioned before, Guanzhong has a population of more than three million. If refugees are allowed to enter Qin, hundreds of thousands of hungry people from Korea and Wei alone may flow into Guanzhong within half a year. If hungry people from Zhao State flow in from Pingyang, Hedong again, refugees from Northern Chu will
If it flows in again from Wushan Pass, there is no guarantee that it will not exceed one million!"
"The laws of the Qin State never opened warehouses to provide disaster relief, but only distributed farm tools and livestock to the refugees to settle down in order to encourage them to help themselves. At that time, even though the Qin State had fields to divide, there was a severe drought that could not be cultivated and planted, and the hungry people had no food to eat.
You have to go into the mountains and forests to pick wild vegetables and fruits. In the end, even if you peel off the bark of the trees in Guanzhong, you won't be able to save the three to five million people from famine!"
As a military general, what we have to do for such things is to cut them off at the source. You must know that it is not only the Qin State that is suffering from disasters, but also the six countries of Guandong. Why do those people think about it when the disaster comes?
I want to come to Qin.
Looking at Mr. Chang Ping on one side, even if what the other party said made sense, at present, if the other party could plan a way to achieve peace and stability without losing people's hearts, I could agree with it.
"This..., this is Qi Suo's hidden worry, and there is currently no good way to deal with it!"
Lord Changping was a little silent. As the prime minister of Qin, he had the responsibility to provide a quick solution to the current situation of Qin. Mengwu's strategy was a strategy that could be effective immediately.
But on another level of his identity, he hopes that the Qin State will slow down its pace of becoming stronger in the current situation and maintain the current status quo of the country.
Otherwise, the resounding words of the state captain Meng Wu unequivocally pointed out the dangerous situation of Qin allowing refugees to continue to enter the country. It was an irrefutable fact. There was a solemn silence in the huge hall, and there was no words to say.
"What Chang Ping Jun and Meng Wu said have their own truths. However, the drought has passed for half a year, and I have heard from you that even next spring and summer, it will still be irreversible. There are many issues involved in the refugee issue."
"Today, no matter what, we must decide on a two-pronged solution, which will not harm our national policy of Qin, but also solve the hidden danger of hungry people entering Qin. You all are our great Qin's strategists. Let's talk about it later!"
After a long time, Qin Wangzheng, who had been sitting quietly at the top, spoke softly and looked down at the group of ministers. If the Qin State just wanted to stay in a corner and achieve the hegemony of the princes, Meng Wu's words would definitely be the best strategy.
.
However, how could Qin be just the overlord of the princes? During the reign of King Zhaoxiang, he had intended to go east to Hangu and dominate the world. Now, the countries in Guandong are weak and it is a great opportunity for Qin.
On this occasion, Lord Changping's words were in line with his own wishes. The Qin State could not harm the hearts of the refugees in Guandong, but the troubles they caused had to be solved directly. Since it was a problem, there must be a way to solve it.
As he finished speaking, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a stern look flashed. Ever since he took office, major events have happened continuously. Even Zhang Xinhou and Wen Xinhou could not stop him. What could happen to a mere drought?
"My king, why don't you send troops to the east to take charge of the passes and check the refugees. Once you arrive, you can intimidate the three Jin areas and make them dare not to plot evil in this crisis."
"Secondly, for those hungry people, it is okay to enter Qin, but they need to disperse their gathering places to prevent chaos. In the face of disasters, once they enter Qin, they must respect Qin's laws and do their own thing.
Survive!"
In order to come up with a perfect trade-off strategy, Lord Changping and others looked at each other. Immediately, the whole main hall of Xingle Palace was filled with buzzing sounds. Civil servants and ministers were talking to each other, but the military attachés group did not.
There are too many actions, but Guowei Mengwu's words are already quite good.
Finally, after a hundred and ten breaths, Lord Changping returned to his original position, bowed his hands and spoke slowly. After thinking about it just now, he came to a solution. Although it was not perfect, compared to before, it involved both aspects.
"If we respect Qin's laws, what are the similarities and differences between the hungry people who enter Qin and the hungry people who don't enter Qin?"
Hearing this, Qin Wangzheng raised his eyebrows. Although two parties were involved, it was only a slight change from the Mongol military strategy. If the hungry people were divided into areas regardless of their life and death, they would not be able to survive the current drought.
"My king, Qin's law does not provide disaster relief. This order is the first. Even the old Qin people are like this. Even if those hungry people enter Qin, it is impossible for them to change within a year!"
Qin's law is awe-inspiring and never rewards and punishes lightly. The hungry people have no merit and will not benefit from Qin's law. On the contrary, during droughts, they may feel the ruthlessness of Qin's law. Lord Changping shook his head gently. Unless this law is changed, it will not be good.
Decide.
"Is it really impossible?"
Qin Wangzheng suddenly raised his head from above, his brows still furrowed. If that didn't work, he would have to take the most advantageous strategy for Qin. The hungry people who entered the pass would have to fend for themselves.
Then, the entire hall fell into a wordless silence again. This situation made Qin Wangzheng, who was pacing back and forth, feel more irritated and impatient.
"A hundred years ago, Lord Shang once said: If there is no way to govern the world, the country will not follow the ancient laws. Although Qin's method of responding to disasters cannot be changed, but in another way, Qin's words of not providing disaster relief can be regarded as Qin's best response strategy at the moment.
"
"Your Majesty, actually speaking of it, the method to deal with it already appeared twenty years ago."
He was dragged into the Xingle Palace by the Qin Dynasty. He has been standing quietly in the distinguished position in front of the hall, listening to the words of the civil and military ministers, but it is not a perfect response. Whether it is the words of Meng Wu or the words of Lord Changping, he pays attention to one thing and ignores the other.
Not enough.
This is also the reason why Qin Wangzheng was disappointed!
After waiting for a long time, no one came up with any countermeasures. Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief, turned slightly, looked at Qin Wangzheng, and spoke slowly while bowing his hands.
“If you don’t manage the world according to the same rules, the country will not follow the ancient laws!”
"Master has a perfect solution?"
Sure enough, as Zhou Qing spoke out, Qin Wangzheng, who was pacing above, looked stunned at first, and then overjoyed. From the previous words in the side hall, it can be seen that the master has extraordinary vision and is equally concerned with important matters of national affairs.
Have a unique plan.
When we were discussing politics just now, we actually ignored the master, which was really inappropriate. Since the master dared to say this, he must be fully confident. He was very happy in his heart and did not show any sadness. He quickly walked into the hall and walked to Zhou Qing.
.
At the same time, the civil and military officials in the hall were also a little surprised. They thought that the master was here to prevent the king from having any abnormalities in his body. But now it seems that what the master did was beyond their expectations.
"One of the greatest advantages of the Qin Law formulated by Lord Shang is that it can quickly gather the power of the entire country to carry out various major events. You can remember that twenty years ago, during the Changping War, the Qin State ordered military supplies and supplies.
How much civilian power was recruited?”
Shang Yang's method is a method of centralizing power. It gathers power in one corner and exerts great power. On the other hand, under the patriarchal and feudal systems of the Guandong countries, power is dispersed. If you do big things, there will be many constraints.
After speaking softly, he glanced at Qin Wangzheng, and then turned his attention to the important civil and military officials.
"In the Battle of Changping, Qin and Zhao faced off for three years. For this reason, King Zhaoxiang recruited more than one million people from Qin!"
Xiong Qi, the Lord of Changping who was closer to Zhou Qing, responded with a little light in his eyes and quickly thought about what the master meant. Since the method mentioned by the master had already appeared, there was no reason for them to not think of it.
"According to Qin law, all people who are recruited must prepare their own rations, but that time the people were recruited differently. Does Changping Lord know what the difference is?"
At Changpingjun's words, Zhou Qing nodded slightly, and immediately asked again.
"Due to the stalemate in the war, the requisitioned civilians continued to stay in Changping after the time limit, and their own food rations were no longer available. However, due to the Qin law, King Zhaoxiang incorporated them into the army one after another and governed them under the military system.
Army rations."
"Could it be that... the master's plan is to integrate the hungry people in Qin into the army and rule them under military rule to help them survive the drought? But, as the captain said, if there are only tens of thousands of hungry people, that's all.
Hundreds of thousands, millions, how can Qin save them?"
"Even if we save him, what will Qin gain if our own savings are not saved?"
As the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, Lord Changping's wisdom was running very fast. In the blink of an eye, he understood what Master Mingwu's strategy was. He actually wanted to imitate the situation of the Changping Battle, integrate hungry people into the army, and use military rations to support him.
Of.
In this way, it does not violate Qin law, can win the hearts of hungry people, and prevent them from causing chaos under the command of the army, but it is a feasible strategy, but rations for hundreds of thousands or even millions of people are not a small matter.
, especially now when the drought in Qin is severe.
"What do you think, Your Majesty?"
After listening to Changping Lord Xiong Qi's words, Zhou Qing first nodded slightly, and then shook his head. His eyes shifted from the civil and military ministers on one side to Qin Wangzheng. He wondered whether Qin Wangzheng understood the profound meaning of what he said.
"Master was the first to say that the advantage of Qin's method is that it can quickly gather national power and carry out various major events. Now, in the Qin State, the only major event that can be compared with the Battle of Changping is the Jingshui Canal."
"If everyone's prediction is correct, the master's strategy is to recruit all the hungry people in Qin's country, and even the hungry people who flow into Guanzhong, to the Jingshui River Canal, which can help the canal be completed quickly."
"Secondly, it is the benefit that Lord Changping said. Qin's law does not provide disaster relief, but the military system is not the same. The hungry people are moved to the canal, governed by military law, and supplied with military rations. As long as we can persist until the canal is completed, everything will be done.
It will fall perfectly!"
Facing Zhou Qing's gaze, King Qin suddenly smiled on his face and nodded deeply to Zhou Qing. Then, he looked at the important civil and military ministers in the hall with his hands behind his back, and his loud voice kept getting more and more exciting.
When I was discussing this matter today, I didn't expect that the policy that best suited me was the Master. All the things the Master said have always been in line with my wishes. In the face of the drought crisis, the Master was resolute.
If this strategy is implemented, the hunger of the people will be reduced, rivers and canals can be built, and Qin will be strong. No matter from every aspect, there will be great benefits, and all it will cost is Qin's granary.
Thinking of this, Qin Wang Zhengjiang fixed his gaze on Lord Changping.
