Daqin: Zulong Asked Me to Be the Prince

"Master Shaofu, talk about the consumption and income of this battle against Chu."

Ying Zheng ordered.

Lu Zheng, the secretary of the Shaofu, came out, holding the jade Guigui, and said solemnly:

"Report to Your Majesty, this battle against Chu, a total of 600,000 soldiers and 400,000 civilians were raised, and it lasted more than five months!"5

"The daily cost of the front line is about 300,000 yuan!"

"Five months and one hundred and fifty days, the total cost is about forty-five million dollars!"

"In order to supply this war, the Shaofu has forcibly requisitioned all the fiscal revenue, and levied taxes and grains from several counties for three years! The people of Qianshou in many places are complaining incessantly."

Forty-five million dollars!

Such an astronomical figure made all the ministers in the hall twitched and shocked in their hearts!

You must know that Daqin's annual net financial income is only a few million dollars!

This battle against Chu has not only eaten up the savings of the Qin State in the past few years, but also overdrafted the income for three years!

The days of the imperial court are likely to be difficult.

Even Ying Zheng frowned when he heard such astronomical figures.

"Is there so much?"

He said unhappily,

"A mere five months, this is already a fast fight!"

"It consumes nine million dollars every month! Young Master, did you make a mistake?!

Obviously, Ying Zheng was also frightened by this number!

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true, there is absolutely no miscalculation!"

Lu Zheng nodded heavily and said,

"My minister has done the calculations many times!"

"You only need to imagine how much grain would be eaten by 600,000 soldiers and 400,000 people for two meals a day... and you will know that this number is not wrong!"5

A million mouths! If you just eat it, you can eat tens of millions!

"...!

Ying Zheng was a little irritable and waved,

"What about the profit after the extermination of Chu? There must be a surplus in the eight hundred years of Chu's heritage, right? 35

"Can you plug this hole?" "?"

He understands that if this hole can't be closed, Wang Ben's army of 200,000 troops will not be able to pay the first batch of army salaries, and they will fight the hairy state of Qi?!

The only thing that can be hoped for is that the war dividend brought by the extermination of Chu can fill the gap!

However, Lu Zheng let him down.

"Back to the king, all the spoils of war after the destruction of Chu have been registered. 39

He responded,

"Except for antiques, other items such as gold, silver, jewelry, and bronze wares are estimated to be around 28 million yuan when converted into half liang of my Daqin.

"There is still a gap of 17 million dollars away from 45 million."

boom!

Ying Zheng slammed the table and said angrily:

"Bullshit!

"Huanghuang Chu Kingdom's eight-hundred-year-old foundation, the entire royal city is so valuable?"

"Is there someone who is rich in their own pockets? They are greedy for ink?"

"Check! Check carefully for the widow! All those who are greedy for the loot of ink will be brought to justice! 35

The sense of victory brought to him by the extermination of Chu has long since dissipated, and now he will not turn a blind eye when he thinks of the merits of the soldiers!

However, Lu Zheng still shook his head.

"Your Majesty, I can assure you that no one is greedy for ink. 39

He pointed to Qin Feng and praised,

"Speaking of which, this minister would also like to praise Qin Feng's actions!"

"After he entered Shouchun, the city of the King of Chu, he issued an extremely strict military order, so that the soldiers of the Qin army did not commit any crimes against Chu Renqiu and did not steal a single bit! He has established an excellent reputation! 99

"And he even ordered his soldiers to seal up everything in the palace of the King of Chu, and register them in the register, without the slightest flaw!"

"Therefore, when the minister received the spoils of war, it was very smooth and complete!

"Therefore, this minister can guarantee that none of the spoils of war in the battle of Chu was secretly embezzled!

Ying Zheng: 66...99

All the ministers turned to look at Qin Feng!

"Young Master Qin Feng, you are so bright and aboveboard!

"It's extremely rare to see a general like him who has never been greedy for ink!

"No wonder the army calls him a true gentleman, and I believe it now!"

All the ministers complimented, especially those Confucian doctors, who were even more generous in their admiration, and gave Qin Feng a lot of praise!

Without him, just a little "no offense with the people of Chu and the people of Qiu" is enough to sing praises!

"Qin Feng, is this the case?"

Ying Zheng secretly applauded in his heart, and asked with an appreciative smile,

"Why don't you take a penny at the Chu King's Palace? Is it because you are afraid that the widow will ask the guilt later? 35

Seeing his son being praised by the ministers, he was happier than he was praised!

Qin Feng stood up and said:

"Back to my father, my son didn't think so much at the time."

"My son just entered Shouchun and saw Qin soldiers bullying the people of Chu State, burning, killing, looting and doing all kinds of evil, which made the people of Chu cry and shake the sky, full of resentment."

"My son thinks that what Daqin defeated was the state of Chu, and it was the state of Chu who was destroyed, but he shouldn't take this opportunity to humiliate and loot the people of Chu, because after the world is unified, the people of Chu are also people of Qin!"

|| If you want to bully and humiliate you because of your victory, the people of Chu will definitely resent the state of Qin, and they will never truly join us in the future! This is extremely unfavorable for my governance of Da Qin!

"Therefore, my son strictly ordered his soldiers not to loot. In fact, he was protecting the image of the Qin army in the Qin country, and let the people of Chu know that the Qin country was not a flood and a beast, and the arrival of the Qin people did not bring disaster to them!"

These remarks are majestic, and the ministers nod their heads again and again, showing admiration.

The color of appreciation in Ying Zheng's eyes was even stronger.

I just heard Qin Feng say again:

"Of course, since my son has ordered his subordinates, he must also lead by example! Subordinates must not rob the common people, and sons must not rob the palace either!

"Only in this way, everyone will be convinced, and the military order will be able to be carried out smoothly!"

"Judging from the follow-up effects, this military order was well executed, and almost no one violated the military law! (Did you get it)"

"And the advantage brought by this military law is that when the Qin soldiers left Shouchun, many people of Chu people even ate the pot pulp to send them to the master!

"From this, the ministers can also conclude that the Chu people's hearts are attached, and the Chu land can be ruled!

clap clap clap!

Ying Zheng couldn't help clapping his palms.

And when he took the lead like this, all the ministers couldn't help clapping their hands, and there was thunderous applause in the hall!

After listening to these words, no one is not in awe of Qin Feng's actions!

This young general indeed has his genius!

"What is a big picture?! What is a big mind?! What is a big picture? Cang!"

Ying Zheng said proudly,

"Look! Take a good look! The widow's son is such a man! 35

"Not only to see, but also to learn from the widow!!

"If all the ministers present here can have Qin Feng's heart, why worry about the world dying?!
