“The army of 200,000 Lingnan, led by Lingnan deputy and Zhao Tuo, has all arrived in the area of Nanyang County.”

It’s not a particularly confidential matter, Ying Che put down the secret note in his hand and said slowly.

“Old Minister He Xi Majesty, 200,000 Lingnan generals are still in Guanzhong.”

When he heard the words from the Son of Heaven, which confirmed Wang Chui’s previous thoughts, he completely let go of his heart and congratulated him as a courtier.

With those 200,000 Lingnan soldiers, plus the more than 30,000 folding troops led by the descendant Wang Bian, the waist pole of the central imperial court was even harder.

“Your Majesty, such a strong force returned to the northern land.”

Also understanding what it means for the 200,000 army to return to the north, Meng Yi, who was still in the hall, arched his hand and said.

“The monarch is happy together, the luck of the central court, Daqin is still Daqin.”

Hearing this, although Yingche did not have a superfluous expression, he finally spoke.

The danger brought by the outside world has been reduced a lot, and the remnants of the six countries inside have been cleaned up, and more direct allegiance has been given to the founding civilization and military forces.

The time is ripe for reforming the military system!

“Old General Wang has just quelled the rebellion in Daze Township, go back and have a good rest.”

After the exchange of power and tricks just now, Ying Che did not forget the elderly Wang Yi, and gave an edict that he could return to the house.

“Oh, the old minister thanked His Majesty for his holy grace.”

Speaking of which, Wang Yi really felt tired in his heart, and raised a salute and thanked the Son of Heaven.

Immediately, he left the temple in a backward manner, and only turned around when he reached the outside of the temple.

“Meng Qing, Xuan Xiao He and Chen Ping are coming.”

After the old general Wang Yi left the Standing Hall, Ying Che paused before continuing.

“Oh, Your Majesty.”

Upon hearing this, Meng Yi, who had not left directly, said in a voice.

“Female official Meng…”

After Wang Yi and Meng Yi left the hall one after another, Ying Che raised his voice slightly, revealing the three words of Meng Nuguan.

Because the Lizheng Hall is located in the inner dynasty, many ministers of culture and military affairs come from time to time, and Meng Jiangnu should pay attention to it as a female official.

“Your Majesty, the minister is here.”

Immediately afterwards, Meng Jiangnu walked out from behind the screen, obviously entering the political hall from the other hall.

After all, in a strict sense, she can be regarded as a half-concubine of the Son of Heaven, and some etiquette still needs to be observed.

“Now I’m going to give you one thing, develop something called paper, which is some of the more basic components, take a little more time to try.”

Halfway through, Yingche took out a brocade cloth and placed it next to the wooden case in front of him.

Yes, with Bunji on the horizon, some steps in the layout should also begin.

“Your Majesty, Rong Chen take a look.”

She is a smart person herself, and Meng Jiangnu, who learned the font, first took a line, and then took the brocade cloth to check it.

“This, it’s amazing!”

Just at the first glance, his attention was all focused on the brocade, and the phoenix eyes didn’t even blink.

What is recorded on the brocade cloth is that the most original paper has been made, and the cut is a detailed step.

The material is even more primitive, consisting of tree skin, hemp head and cloth, and then dried and shaped by fishing nets.

“As soon as the thing called paper was born, the era of bamboo simplicity was over.”

When she saw the last step, Meng Jiangnu couldn’t help but exclaim, and it was completely imaginable that it caused a huge sensation after it came out.

“Your Majesty, that paper is really amazing, easy to carry, not to mention, it can record more styles.”

Blinking her smart little eyes, Meng Jiangnu sighed at the magic, but also showed great interest in research.

“………”

Looking at the amazed Meng Jiangnu, Yingche did not fluctuate, speaking of it, there was nothing to be proud of.

In addition to improving the bamboo simplicity and bulkiness, the advent of paper does not record the shortcomings of many fonts, and the real intention is to pave the way for Daxing Academy to sit well in the future.

All in order to curb the transformation of nobles to the family, and cut off the soil they can form one step ahead of time.

“Female official Meng, strive to initially develop the paper in the shortest possible time.”

It is useless to instill too many advanced concepts, and those who understand the truth from it begin to prepare for the rainy day.

“Oh, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely live up to his mission!”

The replacement of bamboo by paper is undoubtedly epoch-making, and it also promotes the development of literature, and Meng Jiangnu, who came from a poor family, is full of endless energy and interest.

“Let’s go!”

Looking at the pretty face that was close at hand, Ying Che thought that Xiao He and the two were almost present, and then said.

It is to value Meng Jiangnu’s intelligence and experience, which is enough to be qualified for the heavy task of developing paper, and it is more reassuring to use.

“Oh, Your Majesty.”

Immediately, Meng Jiangnu walked to the position of the screen again, and thus left the Lizheng Hall through the other hall.

“The ministers have seen Your Majesty!”

Not long after, Xiao He and Chen Ping, just as Ying Che had expected, appeared directly in the hall.

“Excuse me…”

Seeing this, Yingche waved his sleeves forward slightly, signaling the two to get up without courtesy.

“Wait for Your Majesty.”

After having a formal official position, Xiao He and Chen Ping were not as overwhelmed as last time, and naturally sat in the corresponding position.

“The standard value of garrisons needed throughout the country, between tens of thousands of troops?”

The reform of the military system is not a momentary hot head, but will affect the national defense of Daqin, and Yingche still wants to know more.

Reform will lead to deeper repercussions, just as the Song Dynasty’s power to release troops from a glass of wine.

“Your Majesty, if you only strengthen the central court, you need about 600,000 folding troops for local control.”

“If it is accompanied by some sorties, against all the rebellions inside, millions of troops are the best!”

After the data obtained from the prior investigation, Xiao He did not hesitate in the slightest, and called out the million-strong army after saying the most (get Zhao).

“Millions of Fold Rush Army!”

There are already as many as one million soldiers in active service in Daqin, and with the words of the folding army, Chen Ping was suddenly shocked, and the central finance must not usher in bankruptcy.

“Millions of folding troops, used to consolidate the frontier and the interior, a very reasonable number.”

Listening to the exposition that represented the hard work, Yingche nodded, and he had a rough bottom in his heart.

Millions of folding troops are actually troops left in the country, and if there is a need for war, they can be converted into active service at any time.

As for the pressure on the central finances, in the way the army was originally established, there is no deficit at all.

“From this point of view, Your Majesty should vigorously disarm and achieve the strategic goal of streamlining the army.”

Glancing at the Son of Heaven in front of him, Xiao He somewhat guessed that the Son of Heaven should concentrate financial resources and build a regular field army.
