Chapter 14 The Alien New Deal (Part 2)

The reason why Qin wanted to destroy Bashu was because he followed Sima Cuohou's suggestion to build national strength. He originally thought that after taking Bashu, the national strength of Qin could be stronger. However, after Qin had Bashu, he realized how ridiculous this idea was, because Bashu was a dangerous mountain and a bad water. Not only could he not increase the strength of Qin, but he also consumed Qin's manpower, material resources and financial resources.

This made Qin a headache. Once, someone in the Qin Dynasty proposed to give up Bashu. King Zhao of Qin did not adopt this suggestion, but instead sent his beloved son Ying Hui to Bashu to take charge, hoping that Ying Hui would manage Bashu well and increase Qin's national strength.

Qin Yiren suddenly mentioned Bashu, and Ying Hui was shocked. He knew the best of what he did in Bashu, and he would not be able to be surprised.

King Zhao of Qin saw Ying Hui's burning butt-like expression in his eyes. He was surprised and glanced at Ying Hui for a few times.

"Yiren, the third brother did a good job in Bashu and managed Bashu well. There is no need to repair water conservancy in Bashu." King Zhao of Qin had long been very comfortable with Ying Hui's flattery, and immediately sang praises for Ying Hui.

"Did you hear it? Bashu is so rich in the world, even Guanzhong can't compare. Humph, why are you still building water conservancy? You can think of it." Ying Hui said proudly like a rooster crowing with a stern neck.

"Take it serious?" Qin Yiren asked in a deep voice with a flash of light in his eyes.

"That's all there is to say!" Ying Hui blurted out, full of confidence.

"You have to think about it. If you have a word of false words, Qin Fa is ruthless." Qin Yiren pressed step by step.

"Yiren, you have wrongly accused the third brother of the third brother of this matter. The third brother of the third brother is really doing a good job." King Zhao of Qin had heard Ying Hui say countless times that he had managed Bashu so well, like a flower, and he had helped Ying Hui again.

"Big Father, let me ask my third uncle a few questions." Qin Yiren did not stop there.

"Okay, you ask." King Zhao of Qin thought to himself that Ying Hui did a good job in this matter, and Qin Yiren couldn't tell the reason even if he wanted to ask.

"As far as I know, the Minjiang River is raging, and wherever the Minjiang River passes, there are floods everywhere, and where the Minjiang River has not flowed through, there are droughts. San Shu, how did you manage the Minjiang River disaster?" A glimmer flashed in Qin Yiren's eyes.

When we mention Bashu, we will think of the famous praise "The Kingdom of Heavenly Mansion". In fact, this happened after Li Bing built Dujiangyan. Before that, Bashu was a disaster due to the Minjiang River, half flooded and half arid. The place where the Minjiang River flowed was flooded, and the place where the Minjiang River had not flowed through was drought.

It was not until Li Bing repaired Dujiangyan that the Chengdu Plain became the country of Tianfu and one of the famous granaries in China.

At this time, Li Bing had not yet entered Sichuan, let alone governing the Minjiang River. Qin Yiren asked the most important point.

"This... is just governed." Ying Hui was stunned, thought for a while, and fooled him.

This was a muttering word, obviously lacking confidence, which was completely different from Ying Hui's usual behavior. A hint of surprise flashed through King Zhao of Qin's eyes.

Not only King Zhao of Qin was surprised, but also those who knew Ying Hui were surprised. They looked at Ying Hui and wanted to see the whole story.

"Uncle San, as the county magistrate of Bashu, you are so ashamed of your position as the county magistrate." Qin Yiren went further and said, "How was it governed?"

"Last brother, how did you manage the Minjiang River?" King Zhao of Qin also became suspicious and quickly agreed.

"I sent someone to manage it." Ying Hui was stunned for a moment and continued to fool him.

"Who is it?" Before Qin Yiren could ask, King Zhao of Qin asked.

"Yes..." Ying Hui opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak for a long time.

He is a simple mind and well-developed person. Even if he is lying, he is not so quick.

"How to cure waterlogging? How to cure drought? How much does it cost to deal with people? How much does it cost to make money and grain? How much time does it take? Where can the water conservancy routes be delivered?" Qin Yiren asked in more detail.

"As a county magistrate, how can I take care of such a meticulous matter? I have my servants to do it." Ying Hui felt sweat on his forehead, and he stubbornly stumbled his neck and started arguing.

"Hmph!" King Zhao of Qin snorted coldly and said, "Is there anyone who is the county magistrate like this? Even I am aware of the fine matters of Qin State. The number of taxes, the number of people, and the number of good fields... I know everything."

As the county magistrate of Bashu, he always managed Bashu well, but he didn't know the number of people and the amount of money and grain spent to manage the Minjiang River. This is really speechless, and King Zhao of Qin could not be angry.

"I... am not good at these..." The cold sweat on Ying Hui's forehead had dripped down his cheeks, wetting his clothes.

"I ask you, have you managed the Minjiang River? If you don't say it, I will send someone to Bashu to investigate thoroughly. If you find out that you are lying, it is the crime of deceiving the king. Qin Fa will not spare you." Qin Yiren's eyes flashed and he asked in a deep voice: "Now is the time when the Qin Dynasty wants to unify the world. What you need most is food and grass. If you are lies, the harm will be immeasurable."

King Zhao of Qin wanted to stop Qin Yiren from asking questions, but then he thought that Qin Yiren was right. Now that Qin wants to have a whole world, what he needs most is food and grass. If Ying Hui lies, it will be very harmful to Qin and is even more terrifying than treason.

It can be imagined that at this time, Ying Hui kept saying that he would govern Bashu in a rich way, and he wanted food and money. When he was unified, he had to transfer money and food from Bashu, and then he found that Bashu had no money and food. The consequences need not be mentioned, which would completely disrupt Qin's plans and even delay opportunities for war.

This is absolutely unacceptable to King Zhao of Qin who pursues his achievements.

"Say!" King Zhao of Qin shouted in a deep voice, like a thunderclap.

"..." Ying Hui opened his mouth so hard that his face turned purple, but he couldn't say a word.

For Ying Hui, who is simple-minded and has developed limbs, how could he lie in such a thing for a moment? He had no other ending except speechless.

"Come. I'll put Ying Hui in prison and sent someone to Bashu to investigate." King Zhao of Qin was smart and saw Ying Hui's appearance. There was no one who didn't understand. Ying Hui was lying and lied to him.

"No!" The Iron Eagle Reek came and took Ying Hui down.

At this time, Ying Hui lowered his head, like a young wife who had been turned over for a hundred times, and the flying swelling on weekdays disappeared.

"Rebellious son! Rebellious son!" King Zhao of Qin looked at Ying Hui's back, and was so angry that he blew his beard. His eyes were wide open, and he wished he could tear Ying Hui and eat it.

He liked Ying Hui very much and believed in his words. Only then did he realize that Ying Hui was lying to him. This hurt his heart too much, and he would not be able to do so.

"Huhhhhh!" King Zhao of Qin was like a cow running for hundreds of miles, gasping for breath, and his chest was undulating rapidly.

"Big Father, this matter is very important. I have to understand it. Please forgive me." Although Qin Yiren had a slight relationship with Ying Hui, he did not want to do anything to Ying Hui, because it would hurt King Zhao of Qin. Even if he wanted to cure Ying Hui's crime, he would have to wait until King Zhao of Qin died. However, this matter is too important, and Qin Yiren must do this.

"Yi Ren, you are right, yes. The one who is wrong is this rebellious son, I actually..." King Zhao of Qin was so angry that he couldn't even say anything later.

"Your Majesty, let's stop today's discussion, and we will discuss it later." Seeing that King Zhao of Qin was very angry, Fan Sui was a little worried about his body and wanted to stop the discussion.

"No!" King Zhao of Qin took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said, "Let's discuss. Bashu's water conservancy construction matters, and then discuss it after a thorough investigation."

Bashu is too blocked, no one knows what is going on. Only after a thorough investigation can we make a decision.

"Yiren, tell me about the training of troops." King Zhao of Qin said to Qin Yiren.

"Big Father, let Wang Jian talk about this." Qin Yiren said to Wang Jian, "Wang Jian, you can talk about it."

Qin Yiren is giving Wang Jian a chance. Although Wang Jian is very talented, he has not yet had such a chance to make his name. Wang Jian said gratefully: "Thank you, Grandson Wang!"

"The emperor, the minister thinks that the battle to destroy a country is completely different from the battle to hegemony, and their training is also different." Wang Jian began to state, saying: "The battle to fight for hegemony focuses on plundering, and it is enough to seize money, grain and land; while the battle to destroy a country focuses on siege and occupation."

During the Warring States Period, many wars were fought, most of which were for the battle for hegemony. The so-called battle for hegemony was to plunder and weaken the opponent, rather than destroying the country, not to unify it.

The battle to destroy the country means completely destroying the opponent and occupying the opponent's land and city. The opponent's mouth is his own people.

The difference between the two is quite different.

"Yes." Everyone praised Wang Jian's words and nodded slightly.

"So, I think that the battle to destroy a country is focused on siege. When training troops, we must focus on siege and make more siege equipment." Wang Jian has extraordinary political wisdom and understands the difference between the battle to fight for hegemony and the battle to destroy a country very clearly.

The battle for hegemony means that you can get a chance to get a chance, and if you don’t have a chance, you will forget it. The battle to destroy a country is not possible. Siege will be the top priority. Making large-scale siege equipment and training the Qin army to siege the city will become the top priority.

"Okay!" Everyone exclaimed loudly.

"In addition to this, we must let the Qin soldiers know that this is a battle to destroy the country. Once the enemy is destroyed, the generals of the Qin people are the people of the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, we cannot kill too much, but kill as little as possible, and it is best not to kill." Wang Jian's political wisdom is extraordinary.

"Okay! Cai!" Everyone even slapped and cheered.

"Wang Jian, you have a good analysis. How many soldiers do you think you can train?" King Zhao of Qin looked at Wang Jian with admiration and asked.

"Your Majesty, I think you should train 500,000 new recruits." Wang Jian's words were amazing.

"What? Five hundred thousand?" A scream rang out, and everyone was shocked.

The 500,000 army is an astonishing number, and the total strength of Qin State is only about 500,000. Wang Jian asked to train another 500,000 troops, which was really amazing.

"Wang Jian, don't talk nonsense." Bai Qi shouted in a deep voice.

"Yes." King Zhao of Qin also thought that Wang Jian was talking nonsense.

There are many people who think so, and they shake their heads and disagree.

"Wang Jian, come one by one." Qin Yiren nodded slightly, agreeing with Wang Jian's conclusion.

In terms of military talent, perhaps Wang Jian is not as good as Bai Qi. However, what Wang Jian is better than Bai Qi is that he has extraordinary political wisdom and can focus on the overall situation. His conclusion must be thoughtful, and Qin Yiren has absolute confidence in Wang Jian.

"Tell me, why do you need so many troops?" Seeing that Qin Yiren supports Wang Jian, King Zhao had to agree to listen. (To be continued. Please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!)
