After the ministers dispersed, only Fusu, Meng Yi and Fan Zeng were left in the Qilin Hall.
"Mr. Fan, do you have any objection if I ask Shu Suntong to be the Protector General? I know that you also want to visit the land west of Hexi." Fusu asked Fan Zeng with a smile.
"My lord, I have never thought of becoming the Hexi Protector General." Fan Zeng denied with a guilty conscience.
"Mr. Fan, you have already started planning to recruit people for Hexi, and you also said that you have no interest in the post of General Protector of Hexi. It is not good to lie! With your great talent, it is indeed a bit unfair to become the General Protector of Hexi.
, I plan to completely wipe out the troubles of Hu Hai, the Xiang family in Jiangdong, and Zhao Tuo in South Vietnam within two years. I will definitely need the help of great talents. You should stay with me and advise me? In the future, you can also become a general and a marquis.
Let Shusun Tong do the conquest of the land west of Hexi!"
"Young Master, I understand. Just now, Young Master asked Shusun Tong to go to Hexi. I am really a little disappointed. After listening to Young Master's arrangement, I understand. I must try my best to plan for Young Master to quell the civil strife." Fan Zeng said excitedly.
.How can being a general protecting the Hexi province be compared with becoming a general and a marquis?
"Meng Yi, Prime Minister Li is already old. Many things still need to be shared by you, Prime Minister Zuo. Don't dare to tire the old man. He not only helped my father wipe out the Six Kingdoms, but also helped me regain the land of Hexi.
, it can be said that hard work is a great reward. If you collapse in my hands, then I will really become a sinner."
Fusu saw Li Si's hard work, and one person took over almost all the government affairs of the Qin Dynasty. Whether it was the promotion and appointment of officials, the finances of various treasuries, or criminal and prison litigation, they all came to Li Si. Fusu
We have clearly seen the shortcomings of the system of Three Officials and Nine Officials, and it is imperative to reform the system of Three Officials and Nine Officials. The reason why Fusu wanted to keep Meng Yi and Fan Zeng here was to find out from their mouths the courtiers' opinions on the reform.
The attitude of the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers system.
"I wonder if you two have ever discovered that all the government affairs of our Qin Dynasty are gathered together with the prime minister. This makes it difficult for Prime Minister Li to rest! The system of three ministers and nine ministers began in the Xia and Shang Dynasties. Although our Qin people have made improvements, they still have many shortcomings.
It's untimely. I want to reform the system of three ministers and nine ministers. I wonder if you two have any suggestions?" After Fusu finished speaking, he looked at Meng Yi and Fan Zeng expectantly.
The reform of the system of Three Officials and Nine Officials was indeed somewhat beyond the expectations of Meng Yi and Fan Zeng.
"My lord, this is a serious matter, and I cannot jump to any conclusions for the time being. Can you please allow me to give you a reply after careful consideration?" Meng Yi said to Fusu cautiously.
Reform and restructuring have always been regarded as a major national event. If you are not careful, it will cause a stir in both the government and the public. Since the reform will definitely touch the interests of some groups, it is inevitable to encounter resistance. It may even lead to death. In the past, Chu mourned
When the king was king, Wu Qi carried out reforms to strengthen the state of Chu, which made the state of Chu increasingly powerful. After the death of King Chu Mourning, Wu Qi was shot dead by the old nobles of the state of Chu. Looking at Shang Yang, who made Qin state prosperous through reforms, was he still killed by Qin Hui?
Did King Wen send troops to kill Shang Yu? Even his body was taken back to Xianyang and broken into pieces in a carriage.
Fusu inferred the attitude of the ministers from Meng Yi's words, and it seemed that the reform of the system of three ministers and nine ministers should not be rushed.
…
A month later, thousands of bamboo tubes containing the invitation to people to settle in Hexi were thrown into the Yangtze River by Hengshan County soldiers. These bamboo tubes drifted down the river to various places in Jiangdong, and were fished by many people in Jiangdong. For a time, there was an uproar in Jiangdong.
In just ten days, 30,000 to 40,000 people from Jiangdong fled to Qin. Many of them were soldiers who escaped from Xiang's military camp.
On this day, Jiangdong's guards sent a letter of persuasion to return from Qin to Xiang Bo's desk.
After Xiang Bo came back from his patrol, he picked up the letter on his desk and read it. He was shocked by the content of the letter after only reading a few lines.
“Everyone from Jiangdong who voluntarily settled in the land of Hexi was given five acres of fertile land, two dan of grain, and two thousand yuan. After arriving in the land of Hexi, each household was given another 5,000 yuan of resettlement allowance, and each household was given a plow.
Wait for a set of farm tools and a plowing ox. In the first three years, the taxes of the people in the Hexi area only accounted for 20% of the harvest, and the people in the Hexi area were exempted from corvee for five years.
All soldiers of the Chu Army of the Xiang family who voluntarily went to the land of Hexi were each given six acres of fertile land and three thousand yuan. After arriving in the land of Hexi, each household was given another six thousand yuan as resettlement fee..."
Xiang Bo never expected that Fusu would poach his Jiangdong corner so blatantly. The resettlement fee alone would be enough to drain the Qin treasury. Xiang Bo really couldn't understand that Fusu would come up with so much money and food to manage the land in Hexi. Xiang Bo thought about it carefully.
After some discussion, he decided that Fusu's move was just to disturb the people of Jiangdong, so he didn't pay much attention to Fusu's poaching. If Xiang Bo knew that Fusu had 4 billion yuan and 70 million shi of grain in his hands,
It will definitely drive you crazy.
At the same time, the same news was quietly spread to the ears of the people in the counties and counties under the rule of Liu Ji and Hu Hai by the soldiers of Dongjun. When the people under Hu Hai heard the news, they chose to flee one after another. At one time, 140,000 people
The surname chose to flee to Qin. This shows how stupid Hu Hai was.
To say who was the most depressed, it was Chen Sheng who fled to Yingchuan County under Liu Ji's rule. After breaking with Wu Guang, Chen Sheng sneaked back to Yingchuan County with 600 defeated soldiers and deceived 500 more remnants.
The poor people of Yingchuan County were deceived into Songshan Mountain. Just when they were about to do something big, six hundred people were abducted by Fusu's letter. The most tragic thing was that he sent three hundred of his followers to intercept the six hundred people.
He actually followed him and ran away. At this point, he had less than 200 people left under his command. This allowed Chen Sheng to fully experience the pleasure of "stealing a chicken but losing a lot of rice".
Two months later, in the spring season (March of the lunar calendar), the Hexi Protector General Shusun Tong led 200,000 people to Hexi. In order to let these 200,000 people see the determination of the imperial court, the uncle
Sun Tong chose to live and eat with the 200,000 people. Fusu was moved by his uncle Sun Tong's determination and specially sent 20,000 Tiger and Ben troops to escort the 200,000 people along the way to the four counties of Hexi. Fusu then sent Huben.
At the same time, he ordered Meng Tian's 200,000 troops to seize the time to cultivate the fields.
In order to allow these 200,000 people to settle in Hexi as soon as possible, Fusu also specially arranged for the Daqin Ordnance Institute to work overtime to build plows and other agricultural tools. It also recruited 200,000 construction craftsmen from all over Daqin one month in advance and sent them to
Hexi helped relocated people build houses for settlement.
When 200,000 people arrived in Hexi, they were first placed by Shusun Tong in the military camp vacated by Meng Tian's army.
Two days later, 200,000 craftsmen and 20,000 plows arrived in Hexi as scheduled. The 30,000 oxen purchased by Xiao He from Xiqiang were also delivered as scheduled the day after the plows arrived. At this point, Fusu Economic Strategy
The ambitious hegemony of the Hexi Corridor has officially begun.
Fusu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the plan to explore the land west of Hexi was coming to an end. He began to think about his marriage to Yu Ji. After returning from Qingyao Mountain, Fusu had been busy with the plan to explore the land west of Hexi.
The matter between himself and Yu Ji was put on hold for the time being. Now that spring has returned to the earth and everything is resurrected, the restlessness hidden in Fusu's heart has begun to become active again.
