At present, the entire Qin government and everyone is preparing for a annexation war. It can be said that everyone is united.
Whether it is the people of the country or the court, their morale is high, and they all want to let Qin unify the Central Plains and become a unique country.
But now that Ying Gao insists on implementing the ED, Meng Tian is shocked but also thinks it is feasible.
Although the Great Qin court was determined to win the war of annexation, from Qin King Ying Zheng down to the civil and military officials, they were very rational. They knew that the Great Qin annexation war could not be fought too short.
This will be an arduous battle for several years, or even ten years, and they will sacrifice their lives and blood for it, no matter what.
During this period of time, there will be no war in the Qin mainland, and it is one of the few stable environments in the Central Plains. Under such circumstances, it is an excellent time to implement the Education Department.
This will save a lot of time.
After thinking this, Meng Tian bowed solemnly to Ying Zheng and said: "Your Majesty, I also agree with the young master's words. As the foreign war continues, the Education Department can also be implemented in Guanzhong."
“In this way, you can say that you kill two birds with one stone!”
"call……"
After taking a sip of herbal tea, Ying Zheng still did not give a clear answer. His worries were lessened. After all, promoting the Education Department in Guanzhong and launching a war outside Guanzhong meant that Daqin was at war with two sides.
This means that the pressure on the imperial court will double. As the leader of the Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng has to think carefully. After all, there is no turning back from this matter.
Once you start, it means moving forward.
"I'll just think about this for a while and wait until the court meeting before making a decision!" Ying Zheng shook his head and said to Meng Tian and Ying Gao: "Wang Jian and others will be coming soon, so you should stay for a while."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Meng Tian and Ying Gao sat down safely, waiting for Wang Jian's arrival.
…
Since Ying Gao has been busy with matters at Daqin Central University recently, he is not very clear about what happened in the court.
However, he understood that since it was Ying Zheng who asked them to wait for Wang Jian, it must be an extremely important matter, so he could not help but wait quietly for Wang Jian and others to arrive.
Half an hour later, Wang Jian and others came hand in hand, walked into the study and faced Ying Zheng, saying: "I will pay my respects to the king. The king will last ten thousand years, and the Qin Dynasty will last ten thousand years -!"
"Everyone loves me!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand and motioned for the ministers to take their seats: "Take your seats!"
"promise."
…
"My dear friends, I am here today because of the Lantian Camp. The general is here in person, so I am not allowed to deal with it urgently!"
Ying Zheng glanced at everyone, and said in a deep tone: "I can't understand the matter about the old army in Lantian camp, so I will let the general describe and explain it to you one by one."
Having said that, the atmosphere in the entire study suddenly became solemn. After all, no matter which country it is, disarmament is a major event.
At this moment, all the ministers were moved. There had been a resolution on this matter before, but basically all the veterans went to the camp outside the pass.
After two battles with Zhao, there were countless casualties. The whole country knew this, but it was obvious that Ying Zheng and the military must have made a decision this time.
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Wang Jian said softly: "After deliberation with the state captain and the generals in the army, we have made a decision. Within five years, the number of soldiers in our army who are over forty years old will be between forty-five and fifty-five."
All the leaders below the commander of a thousand soldiers will be disarmed and returned to their fields."
"All generals over the age of fifty-five will be promoted to civilian officials to ensure that the combat effectiveness of our army is always at its peak!"
Having said this, Wang Jian changed the topic and asked everyone present: "What do you colleagues think about this?"
This strategy was not planned at this time, it had appeared almost before. It was just that there was a terrible war at the time, and in order to avoid affecting morale, it had to be stopped.
Even at this moment, when Wang Jian announced such a strategy, no one in the study raised objections.
However, once this strategy is implemented, it will be a real difficulty.
Ying Gao pondered for a while, with many thoughts in his mind. Speaking of which, he did not belong to the Lantian camp, he belonged to the Guanwai camp, although he also knew that the existence of the Guanwai camp was to attract firepower.
However, at this moment, as a member of the camp outside the customs, he was still very dissatisfied.
Thoughts flashed in his mind, and when he saw that everyone else was silent, Ying Gao couldn't help but raise his head and look at Wang Jian, saying: "Teacher, such a large-scale dismissal of the veteran army must be a terrifying number."
"Teacher, have you ever thought about how much money is needed to resettle veteran soldiers? Can the Great Qin government treasury bear it all at once?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole study suddenly became quieter. At this moment, they were all thinking about the question raised by Ying Gao.
After all, the Qin people have a tradition of fighting hard and to the death, and the officers and soldiers of the three armies hardly care about their military salary.
Of course, this premise is that the Qin Dynasty regards rewarding farming and warfare as its national policy and will never treat soldiers on the battlefield badly. Even before Shang Yang's reform, the Qin Dynasty was famous in the world for cherishing its soldiers.
Now that the Zhengguo Canal is built, Guanzhong is becoming increasingly wealthy, coupled with the fertile rice and grain soil created by Dujiangyan in Bashu.
At this moment, the Qin State has two kingdoms of abundance, so it naturally cannot be at a disadvantage when it comes to disarming its soldiers.
For a moment, a discussion began in the study, but Ying Gao remained silent. He knew in his heart that the most powerful speakers on this matter were Chief Shi Wang Wan and General Wang Jian.
After all, they know more about all aspects of this matter. At this time, Ying Gao is just waiting. If the final decision is not conducive to the soldiers of the camp outside the pass, he will naturally come forward.
An hour later, Wang Wan stood up, raised his hands to Ying Zheng, and said: "Your Majesty, I have made a preliminary discussion: Soldiers, regardless of their merit in battle, will each return home with ten gold coins; generals below the rank of commander, regardless of their merit in battle, will
, each person was given thirty gold coins to return home; the general was reassigned to a civilian position, and each person was given ten gold coins as comfort."
"After all, since ancient times in the Qin Dynasty, military achievements have not been counted when returning home!"
…
Hearing this, Ying Gao nodded and approved the discussion of Wang Wan and others. The Qin army has always said that returning home does not count the military exploits.
That's because the Qin army's military exploits have always been rewarded separately. After each battle, they will be reported immediately, verified by the Taiwei Mansion Office, and then rewarded without delay.
The data given by Wang Wan is not too outrageous, but based on Ying Gao's understanding of the Qin court, even the imperial treasury would be hard-pressed to come up with such a terrifying amount.
After all, Ying Gao knew the main camp outside the pass, and the camp outside the pass was the main gathering place for veteran troops.
