Chapter 50 How to Save?

According to King Zhao of Qin, Qin State will wipe out all countries and unify China in three or five years. After Bai Qi's calculation, it suddenly exceeded his estimate. Will he be in a good mood?

After all, he has not had much time to come, how many years can he live? He really wants to complete the great cause of unifying China in his lifetime. Bai Qi's words are too depressing.

Moreover, this is the best situation. No one can tell what happens on the battlefield, which changes rapidly. However, it can be expected that the Qin State will wipe out all countries and unify China for more than six and a half years.

This does not include Yan State. Bai Qi regarded Yan State as being destroyed by the Huns. If Yan State is included, it would be even longer.

"Can't you shorten the time?" King Zhao of Qin looked at Bai Qi and asked in a deep voice.

Bai Qi didn't say anything, but just shook his head slowly.

It didn't matter if he shook his head, King Zhao of Qin sank his heart, as if he was falling into an ice cellar.

He has not had many days to come, and he really wants to complete the great cause of unification in his lifetime. Will he still be alive in six and a half years?

"Your Majesty, the general just calculated the matter of war, and I also have to calculate the matter of governance." Fan Sui browned and said, "The Qin Dynasty wiped out all countries and unified China. It cannot just unify the territory, but also govern it, and govern it well. Only in this way can it be true unification."

"Yes." Qin Yiren emphasized his head and praised this.

Destroying the nations and completing the unification of the territory is just the beginning of the great cause of unification. There are still many things to be done and governed. If it is not governed, it is just the unification of the territory, not the real unification.

In history, there were many famous empires, who had vast areas, but ended up being divided. Why? Because they were not well managed.

The most famous example is the Mongols. The Mongols swept across the Eurasian continent and once established a shockingly huge empire with a territory spanning the Eurasian continent, including the current China, Russia, and the Middle East. This is the most vast empire in human history, but it eventually fell apart.

The reason is that the Mongols only know how to sway horses and bend their bows, and cannot control them. Among the three parts of the Mongolian Empire, Kublai Khan's governance of China was quite successful, and the other two parts were difficult to control. The Mongols used them as "warehouses", so how can they not be divided?

In addition, the Alexander Empire, the Roman Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, the Arab Empire, the Ottoman Empire... these shocking empires have perished one after another.

The reason is that it has not been well governed, different ethnic groups have not been integrated, and civilization has not been created that is acceptable to everyone.

"Your Majesty knows, how much time will take to manage well?" King Zhao of Qin looked ugly, but Fan Sui asked back as if he hadn't seen it.

"How much time does the Prime Minister think it will take?" King Zhao of Qin didn't want to ask this question, but he had to ask.

He has not had many days to come, and whether he can complete the unification of the territory in his lifetime is a problem. As for the governance issues, he is even more unwilling to worry about it. Fan Sui's problem really hit him too much.

As the king of a country, if he doesn't know how much time it takes to govern, it would be a big joke, and he has to ask.

"According to my prediction, it will take twenty years to make the world recognize the Great Qin and accept the Great Qin." Fan Sui's words were so damning.

"Twenty years?" A scream rang out, and King Zhao of Qin, Bai Qi, Meng Ao and others all looked in disbelief.

Bai Qi, Meng Ao and the others are military generals after all, so they are really not very clear about such governance.

"That's right, twenty years!" Fan Sui focused his head in the eyes of everyone, and said with certainty, "You think I'm talking nonsense, right? Then, let's settle the calculation."

"We have to settle the accounts again?" King Zhao of Qin felt a little unhappy when he heard this.

Bai Qi settled the bill and said that his dream of unifying the world seemed to be far away from him. Fan Sui calculated the bill again. Is this even further away from him?

"I dare to ask you, how big is the territory of the world? How many people have many people? How many taxes are there? Where are there many people? Where are there many people? Where are there rich people? Where are there poor people? Where are there plains? Where are there mountains and rivers?" Fan Sui asked loudly.

"..." King Zhao of Qin was very good at talking, and Boss Zhang was unable to speak for a long time.

"This is not simple, you will know as soon as you look up the picture?" Ying Hui raised his throat, and even cracked the corners of his mouth, and said disdainfully: "What is such a simple thing, is it necessary to ask?"

"What the third prince said is extremely true. You will know it once you look up the pictures..." Fan Sui shook his head slightly.

"Haha. The Prime Minister has been awarded more, wherever he is." Ying Hui really thought Fan Sui was praising him, so he raised his head and straightened his chest with smugness.

Qin Yiren couldn't help laughing when he saw it. He is worthy of having developed limbs and simple minds.

"...However, looking at the world, except for the Qin Dynasty's pictures to be found, where can I find pictures to be found?" Sure enough, Fan Sui asked back.

"..." King Zhao of Qin opened his mouth wide again and could not speak.

Fan Sui asked the most realistic and important question. Since the Zhou emperor lost his virtue, the world has been in chaos, and the princes have been in a state of tyranny, but the emperor cannot control it. The world is becoming more and more chaotic, and who can still understand how many people the country has and how many taxes it has, and is busy levying wars.

Some people may say that if the princes want to collect, they need population and money and food. The princes can collect taxes and build troops. Of course, they know these basic data.

This makes sense, the problem is that these data are not correct. Why do you say so?

Because the system of feudalization was implemented, the emperor wanted to confer the title of princes, the princes wanted to confer ministers, the ministers wanted to confer retainers, and the retainers also wanted to confer retainers... In this way, the enfeoffment was covered by layers of privileges. The data that the princes knew had long been distorted and had been concealed.

If you report the number of people in your fiefdom and taxes, will you benefit greatly? Who is willing to tell the real data?

In this way, there is no real data.

The population size, population distribution, resource distribution, and traffic conditions, these data are just basic data that cannot be missing for governing a country. Without these data, how can the country be governed?

Looking at the world, only Qin has the most real data in this regard, which has been proven by history.

Everyone knows that after Liu Bang entered Guanzhong and captured Xianyang, the generals were busy robbing beautiful women of gold, silver, treasures, and only Xiao He didn't care about these things. He took away the Qin maps in the Xianyang Palace. This move benefited the Han Dynasty and quickly grasped the situation in the world. This played an immeasurable role in the fight between Chu and Han.

People are praising Xiao He foresight. In fact, we can think about it the other way around. If these pictures are not real and detailed enough, will Xiao He dare to use these pictures as a basis? Can Liu Bang still gain a advantage?

"After the Qin Dynasty unified the world, the first priority was to govern. If you want to govern, the first priority was to help the people. Only by finding out the number of mouths, the distribution of mouths, and the geographical and mountains and rivers can you manage them." Fan Sui's tone was not high, but it made people dare not have any doubts.

Without these basic data, it is impossible to govern a country, which makes sense.

"Prime Minister, don't talk about it. I know that if I want to manage it well, it will take a long time to use the power of Shandong." Seeing that Fan Sui was about to speak again, King Zhao of Qin hurriedly waved his hand to stop him.

Fan Sui is so good at attacking people. If he had to tell them all, he wouldn't know how to attack people.

"In this way, if the Qin Dynasty wiped out the nations, unified China, and then used the power of Shandong to conquer the Huns, it would take at least ten years to conquer the Huns." King Zhao of Qin was also a wise man. Although he was unwilling, he had to accept this fact and pondered: "Ten years later, the Qin Dynasty will conquer the Huns again. By then, the Huns will be very strong and difficult to deal with. In this way, if the Huns cannot be made big, the Qin Dynasty will have to save them."

Ten years later, Qin State can free up his hands to deal with the Huns. By then, the Huns would have been too powerful.

You should know that the land of Hetao is extremely important, which is both an extremely important strategic springboard and a natural pasture. If it falls into the hands of the Huns, the Huns can have more cattle and sheep, more cattle and sheep can have more population, and more population can have more army. This threat is terrible.

Furthermore, the Hetao terrain suppressed the Central Plains and took advantage of it. The Huns used this as a strategic springboard and advanced westward and eastward, which were very useful. They would conquer large areas of land within ten years and their strength would increase sharply.

The consequences were really terrible. Although King Zhao of Qin was unwilling, he had to face the reality and had to send troops.

"Since we have to save it, then let's discuss how to save it?" King Zhao of Qin's eyes flashed and he glanced at everyone and said.

"Father, in the opinion of his sons, it is better to send 50,000 troops north to guard the city. In this way, the Qin Dynasty can continue to advance eastward, wipe out the nations, unify China, and achieve great achievements." Ying Ying rushed to say.

"Yes. It's reasonable." King Zhao of Qin raised his eyebrows and agreed with this.

He would definitely not want to give up moving eastward and focus on going north to deal with the Huns.

"Your Majesty, the words of the third prince are not bad." Bai Qi retorted, saying: "Although the Qin soldiers are good at fighting and have the power of their troops, they will not be able to win the Huns with just 50,000 people, and Hetao will be lost."

"Is 100,000 enough?" King Zhao of Qin thought for a while. If he sent a 100,000 army north, it would be impossible.

"Not enough." Bai Qi shook his head.

King Zhao of Qin really wanted to hear enough Bai Qi said, but after hearing this, he wanted to strangle Bai Qi to death.

Although Qin State is now willing to advance east with all its might and send out a hundred thousand troops, it is still acceptable. In this way, it can resist the attack of the Huns without affecting the extermination of the nations, and the best of both worlds.

"How many soldiers do you think you want to keep the Hetao land alive?" King Zhao of Qin stared at Bai Qi and asked in a deep voice, very unhappy.

"A hundred thousand people can only protect the border, but cannot protect the land of Hetao. Two hundred thousand people can pose a huge threat to the Huns. If it is 300,000, the Huns can fight and defeat it." Bai Qi thought for a while.

"Three hundred thousand?" King Zhao of Qin jumped up as if he was burning his butt: "How can I wipe out all the nations and unify China?"

Bai Qi's words make sense. Although the Qin army is good at fighting, the Huns have 500,000 people, and the 200,000 Qin army can only pose a threat to the Huns, which may not make the Huns afraid. If 300,000 people can defeat the Huns.

The question is, how many troops did Qin have in total? If 300,000 were transferred, there would be no chance to advance eastward. If you want to destroy all countries, King Zhao of Qin, who unified China, would not be angry.

Bai Qi, Fan Sui, Meng Ao and others lowered their heads and said nothing, how could they be willing to do it?

"Big Father, in my opinion, you all misunderstood something." Qin Yiren smiled slightly: "You always thought that only by destroying the nations and unifying China would be a great achievement. In fact, defeating the Huns and protecting the territory and the people are also a great achievement that the Three Kings and Five Emperors have never done!"

"Hmm?" Suddenly, the light in King Zhao of Qin's eyes burst into flames, like the scorching sun above the nine heavens. (To be continued. Please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!)
