Chapter 644: The Method of Sealing Rewards, Wei Liao's Words
Upon hearing Fan Zeng's question, Ying Gao's expression changed slightly, he smiled meaningfully and said.
"For the future and for the future!"
"It's inconvenient for me to say more about the specific situation, and don't ask too much, sir. You will understand later."
The calculation against the Da Yuezhi was not only for the Hexi Corridor, but also for the future of Central Asia. Therefore, Ying Gao allowed the Da Yuezhi to use the Daqin script.
Sometimes, the subtle influence is the most terrifying.
But, this is a secret.
Even if it was Fan Zeng, he couldn't tell. After all, he couldn't explain the matter of the prophet, and time travel was a secret he had to keep until his death.
And he knew very well that his father was an emperor who was keen on cultivating immortality and immortality, so some things could not happen from the beginning.
To a certain extent, Ying Gao occupies the advantage of foresight, so he always subconsciously ensures that the historical process will not change arbitrarily.
Even if there is a change, it is a change within a controllable range.
This behavior seems to have become an instinct for him, making him do it subconsciously.
After all, only by ensuring that the general historical trend remains unchanged can he use the memories in his mind to build an empire for all eternity.
"For the future, for the future?"
At this moment, Fan Zeng glanced at the map of the Hexi Corridor with deep eyes, and then nodded.
In Fan Zeng's view, Ying Gao's so-called future and the future are the back-up left at this moment to facilitate his future expedition to the northwest.
When he thought of this, Fan Zeng stopped asking any more questions. After all, Ying Gao had an outstanding vision, a grand structure, and his strategic knowledge was no less than his.
Wen Xing left, but the envoy from Xianyang had not yet arrived. At this moment, Ying Gao was idle. After all, the secret deployment had already ended, and he was waiting for the Dayue clan Wang Touting to come and die.
Ying Gao didn't care whether King Dayuezhi would follow Wen Xing's advice. In his opinion, strong strength was everything.
As long as Zhao Tuo and Xin Sheng lead the 100,000 Qin warriors southward, he, with an army of 430,000 to 400,000 men, can sit back and watch the storm unfold.
…
Xianyang Palace.
In the study, Ying Zheng was processing the report. As the king of Qin, he had been living such a boring life for many years.
Day after day, year after year!
For the rise of the Qin Dynasty and for the conquest of the six kingdoms, Qin Wangzheng devoted his life's efforts to the point where he was so busy that he did not even have time to teach or pay attention to the education of his children.
"Your Majesty, Wei Liao, pays homage to the King. The King has been here for thousands of years, and the Qin Dynasty has been around for thousands of years—!" Wei Liao walked into the study, bowed solemnly towards Ying Zheng, and said.
Hearing this, Ying Zheng raised his head and glanced at Wei Liao, then put down the bamboo slips in his hand, smiled slightly, and said: "Aiqing is entering the palace now, but the list of rewards has been drawn up?"
"Your Majesty, after joint deliberation by the National Government Office, the Imperial Government Office and others, a list of rewards for the Western Expedition Army has been drawn up!"
Having said this, Wei Liao took out a scroll of bamboo slips from his sleeve robe, placed it on Ying Zheng's desk, then cupped his hand and said.
"Please show me, Your Majesty!"
Grabbing the bamboo slip from the desk, Ying Zheng opened it and took a look at the rewards on it. However, there were only rewards for the generals of each army, and there were no rewards for the generals of the army.
With confusion in his heart, Ying Zheng raised his head and looked at Wei Liao and said, "Guo Wei, why are there only lists of rewards for the chief generals of each army? How can the rest of the army be rewarded?"
Hearing this, Wei Liao raised his hand towards Ying Zheng and explained in detail, "Your Majesty, the army for the Western Expedition is no less than 300,000, so we cannot reward each one."
"Especially since we are currently in the middle of a war, we have decided after deliberation among the ministers to first reward the Western Expedition army with titles. As for the land and other rewards, we will wait for the army to return to the court and then calculate them."
"On the bamboo slips, there are only rewards for generals at all levels. As for the rewards for the generals, I mean that those who have a title will be promoted to one level. Those who do not have a title will be given a title of duke and then promoted to one level."
"The title of General Ying remains unchanged for now..."
Hearing this, Ying Zheng fell silent. He knew in his heart that the great achievements of the Western Expedition Army were enough for everyone to be crowned.
It's just the land of rewards. This is a big problem. The Central Plains seems to be a huge land, and it can't be all rewarded to the soldiers.
When the time comes, who will he be, the King of Qin?
However, at this moment, the Western Expedition army had to be rewarded.
At this moment, Ying Zheng missed Ying Gao a little. He planned to wait for the war to end and discuss this issue with Ying Gao in detail.
After all, this matter is related to the foundation of Qin and must be taken seriously.
At this thought, Ying Zheng suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart and said to Wei Liao: "Guo Wei, with such a large-scale reward, have the Guo Wei Mansion and the Guo Mansion ever thought about granting land rewards?"
Hearing this, Wei Liao was slightly startled, and quickly raised his hand towards Ying Zhengyi, saying: "Your Majesty, I have discussed this matter with Prime Minister Li and Prime Minister Wang of the Guowei Mansion, as well as Datian Commander Zheng Guo."
"It was unanimously decided that the land to be rewarded will be mainly in the northwest counties. Nowadays, the northwest counties are desolate. With the reward, it will increase some popularity."
"What's more, the northwest was conquered by the Western Expedition..."
"As for the specific reward, I have not decided yet. After all, the general has not returned yet, and the war has not ended yet."
Hearing this, Ying Zheng took a deep look at Wei Liao and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He knew in his heart that land was extremely important in Da Qin.
The idea of Wei Liao and others was completely feasible. This greatly reduced his pressure. At this moment, Ying Zheng had a huge desire for land.
After all, under the twenty-level military merit title system, land is one of the rewards for military merit. Only endless land can allow the Great Qin warriors to maintain strong combat effectiveness.
"This is a good idea. The reason why the northwest is desolate is because the population is too small. After the reward is given, the population will further increase and it will surely become prosperous."
Ying Zheng said in a deep tone: "The land in the northwest is originally one of the nine states. It is part of Yongzhou and has belonged to our Central Plains since ancient times."
"By the way, Gu Zeng ordered Meng Yi to go to Xihai to calculate the specific values of each county. I don't know how Meng Yi handled it!"
Hearing this, Wei Liao's eyes flickered. Meng Yi and Ma Xing also belonged to the Wei Mansion of another country and were responsible for logistics.
He knew very well how busy Ma Xing and Meng Yi were during this period, not only with logistics, but also with the need to coordinate the overall situation in the northwest.
After all, Ying Gao is leading his army on an expedition at this moment and needs a stable rear so that the Western Expedition army can have no worries.
After thinking about this, Wei Liao spoke to Ying Zheng and said: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Meng Yi and Ma Xing are busy in the northwest, and I'm afraid they don't have time to do statistics!"
