Daqin: Father, I really don't have any money for a private house.

“Expand the army by 800,000! You’re crazy! ”

“Nope! Absolutely not! ”

“According to Daqin’s current national strength, if it really wants to expand the army to the level of two million, it will be almost a state of high load.”

“Once there is any accident, it will cause Daqin’s economy to collapse.”

“………”

As the right minister, Shang Martingale obviously could not allow Bai Qi to make such a mess.

The expansion of the army was cool for a while, and the crematorium afterwards.

Such a high-intensity military expansion is either to maintain a state of war all the time, constantly launch wars abroad, and then draw enough funds and food from other countries, and adopt the method of feeding the war with war, in order to be able to maintain it.

If you go all the way to victory, it is naturally to advance vigorously!

Once defeated, it is easy to lose supplies and fall into a state of collapse.

Fear.

Only killing gods in vain, this kind of pure war maniac, will choose this style of play.

In the view of the right minister Shang Martingale, he prefers to crush with pure national strength, and press over with the momentum of the mighty Wang Shi, even if he loses a few times, it will not hurt, which is the best way to win.

“What Shang Jun said is reasonable, expanding the army is a necessary thing, but expanding the army by 800,000 is really too much.” Qin Shi Huang said in a deep voice.

“Therefore, the key to the problem now is only the number of troops.” The right minister Shang Martingale slowly exhaled a breath and said.

Fortunately.

His Majesty still has reason.

If this is fooled by this war maniac in Baiqi, and the army is really expanded by 800,000, it will really be a little difficult to withstand.

In the face of a situation surrounded by strong enemies, it is necessary to expand the army, but it is impossible to expand so much in one breath, after all, the foundation of the Great Qin Empire is not so deep.

And.

With the expansion of the army.

You also need enough good generals to command.

Otherwise, appointing a gang of mediocrities to become generals will only make the soldiers of the Great Qin die in vain.

“How about half a million?” Bai Qi said.

“No, it’s still too much.” The right minister Shang Martingale thought for a while, shook his head, and said.

Every time the army is expanded.

He’s going to think about it.

With the increase in the number of Great Qin soldiers, how much pressure will be placed on logistics and how to keep it at a delicate critical point.

Although Jiu Gongzi Yun Che provided a lot of high-yield crop seeds, he had already sown them.

But.

If you want a good harvest.

And if the whole army is promoted, at least until the end of the year.

Far water cannot quench the near thirst, only by thinking in the light of the recent situation.

“Shangjun, according to our current imperial heritage, how many troops can be expanded at most.”

“Returning to Your Majesty, depending on the construction of the courtiers, at present, my Great Qin can only expand the army of 300,000, and if there is more, the logistics will fall into a state of making ends meet, and even need to increase taxes on the people.”

“In that case, then temporarily allocate 300,000 taels of gold and expand the number of troops by 300,000, and leave it to the generals for training.”

Hear a pertinent number.

Qin Shi Huang nodded slightly, and directly ordered the expansion of the army.

Great Qin Empire.

Pursue a 20-level military merit title system.

As long as you dare to fight bravely on the battlefield, then you can become a knight, change your destiny, and become a nobleman, which is far superior to other empires.

Because, in other empires, many small soldiers are brave and good at fighting.

If there is no corresponding relationship, or if you go to bribe your superiors, it will be difficult to mix up, and your enthusiasm for fighting will be greatly reduced.

There is a military merit system as a basis.

As long as the Great Qin Empire expands its army accordingly, the men who sign up for the army are definitely a big handful.

“Of the remaining 700,000 taels of gold, at least 300,000 taels of gold should be allocated.”

“It is used to cultivate good land, build water conservancy, increase agricultural taxes in Daqin, and at the same time recruit more displaced people from other countries.”

“Anyway.”

“Population is an important factor in whether a country is strong or not.”

“………”

The right minister Shang Martingale continued.

Cultivate fertile land, build water conservancy, and recruit displaced people.

It seems like three simple projects, but when you actually implement them, you will know how expensive these three projects are.

If it weren’t for the fact that other aspects of the Great Qin Empire still need to spend money.

Let’s be honest.

The martingale wants to take all the remaining 700,000 taels of gold to improve people’s livelihood.

“Well, yes.”

Qin Shi Huang nodded and said.

The transfer of such a large amount of funds, naturally, can only be approved if he nods and agrees.

And so it goes.

One million taels of gold, in the blink of an eye, was determined the destination of one – most of it.

300,000 taels of gold were used to recruit 300,000 troops, enhance the comprehensive military strength of the Great Qin Empire, and lay a solid foundation for future wars.

300,000 taels of gold are used to cultivate good land, build water conservancy, recruit displaced people, enhance the comprehensive heritage of the Great Qin Empire, and indirectly increase the future tax revenue of the Great Qin Empire.

These two projects.

are essential.

In this way, there is only a share of nearly 400,000 taels of gold left.

“There are still many places where money needs to be used, and in the end, this money, what do you think should be better used for.” Qin Shi Huang Yun Zheng then asked.

“Build a spare weapon!”

“Buy more ploughing cattle!”

“Once you enter the state of war, the wear and tear of weapons will increase significantly, so more spare weapons and armor are needed.”

“Once the people start cultivating new fields, then more labor will be needed, and we will pay to buy more cattle in other empires and let them help the people cultivate the fields, and we can collect more taxes.”

It’s obvious.

The concept of Shang Martingale and Bai Qi still seems to be unable to reach an agreement.

One wants to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, and the other wants to increase the wealth of the people, and it is almost a direct quarrel – come.

Of course.

They can only offer their opinions.

As for the final decision-making power, it is still in the hands of Qin Shi Huang.

“Yinghong, I heard that you are the leader of the Seven Swords Organization under Che’er, how do you think the remaining 400,000 taels of gold should be best distributed.” Qin Shi Huang Yun Zheng suddenly looked at the Changhong Sword Master Yinghong beside him and asked.

Let’s be honest.

Even Yinghong herself did not expect it.

When it comes to national affairs, His Majesty will suddenly ask about himself.

Although he is the leader of the Seven Swords Organization, he is not good at internal affairs, and there are so many bigwigs present, how dare he comment at will.

Whether it is helping Shang Martingale or Bai Qi will offend another big guy.

So.

Yinghong also played a tai chi.

“I dare not make a conclusion on this matter.”

“But the young master once wrote a special bamboo slip, and I heard that it was about the prosperity of the country.”

“Why don’t Your Majesty watch it and then make the final decision?”

“………”
