"Your Majesty, as our Great Qin territory continues to expand, there are many foreign races that we need to assimilate. In addition, we must occupy the resource-rich unowned land like Nanyang! Therefore, we need a large population!"
"Yes! The people of our country, Qin, are only 30 million. Although we have encouraged childbirth in recent years, the effect is not significant. Therefore, we cannot let people's lives be lost in building railways. We can only use those who defeated the countries. A slave will take your place!"
"To develop the Qin Dynasty, it is not only necessary to dig out mineral deposits, but also to build railways, so the old minister fully agrees with Marquis Tongwu's opinion!"
"I also agree!"
"I second the proposal...!"
Seeing Ying Zheng's face, the ministers were frightened, but they had to speak up.
There is no way, war is the most direct and brutal solution to the current population shortage!
"Even you agree?"
Ying Zheng was really surprised to see a group of imperial censors also coming out to support the matter.
These guys would stare at him and these ministers all day long, looking for trivial problems to report!
Today it is bad manners, and tomorrow it will be inappropriate.
When the two countries go to war, they are usually the first to speak out against it, fearing that the people will not be able to survive!
Now he has changed his temper and supports war?
It’s really strange!
"Your Majesty, now our country, Great Qin, is strong and has many talented people. As long as we are properly prepared, fighting should not be a problem!"
"Yes! Our Great Qin is strong and has destroyed several surrounding countries one after another. We can indeed take advantage of the victory and pursue it!"
The two censors lowered their heads and spoke respectfully.
"Pursue victory?"
Ying Zheng had a grimace on his face, making it difficult to tell whether he was happy or angry. Then his eyes wandered and he began to scan the ministers present.
This frightened the ministers.
Your Majesty, what does this mean?
Do you agree or disagree?
Being silent all this time, could it be the calm before the storm?
"boom……"
Sure enough, after scanning twice, Ying Zheng slapped the dragon case directly with a palm as big as a leaf fan, making a muffled sound.
Everyone was so frightened that their whole bodies shivered.
died! died!
Now none of them can escape, they all have to be punished.
The only one who can save them is His Royal Highness.
I hope His Highness the Crown Prince can support the war like them and say something nice to them.
Otherwise, even if you are thinking that the law will not punish the public, you will definitely not be able to escape with a whip dipped in salt water!
"Hahaha……"
Just when everyone was about to send a distress signal to Ying Feiyu, Ying Zheng, who had been sullen all the time, suddenly burst into laughter.
And looking at that posture, it doesn’t look like it’s fake!
What's happening here?
This operation made the ministers even more puzzled!
"Haha! I really didn't expect that our country, Da Qin, could develop to this extent in just a few years!"
After a burst of hearty laughter, Ying Zheng sat upright on the dragon chair, his hands naturally hanging on his sides, and he suddenly felt emotional.
"call……"
After hearing this, the ministers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out that His Majesty was testing their intentions before.
After seeing that they were unanimous in their opinions and had great confidence in Da Qin, they laughed out loud!
"So, Your Majesty also agrees to fight another battle and bring back more prisoners?"
Wang Ben's eyes lit up.
He went to the military camp every day to train troops and never dared to slack off.
But what’s the point of just practicing in Xianyang?
Why not go to the battlefield and really fight!
"Agree! Of course I agree! In your words, our Daqin is strong now, why don't I agree? Just...?"
Ying Zheng responded with a smile, and then seemed to be thinking about something, "I just don't know where to attack first?"
"Pfft..."
These words directly made Xiao Zhengtai laugh.
All right!
This old guy is the boss!
When it comes to pretending to be X, no one can compare to him!
It’s as if Da Qin is the only one in the world and can fight whoever it wants!
"Isn't this simple? Bring the map, and if your Majesty sees something that doesn't suit you, just point it at me, and I will immediately order troops to capture their king, haha!"
There was going to be a war soon, and Wang Ben looked very excited.
This guy just doesn't have the mentality of his father. If Wang Jian hadn't been there to protect him, he would have been killed before he could climb to where he is today!
"Marquis Tongwu, Your Majesty has not decided on the commander-in-chief yet. How do you know that you must be the one to capture the king? If not, it will be me!"
"That's right! Our Great Qin is now in the era of hot weapons. As long as you bring us enough weapons, we can all lead troops to go on an expedition!"
"Yes! We all have a chance...!"
Wang Ben's words immediately angered Kang Anping, Meng Yi and others.
Fighting now is completely different from the past. As long as you have a head on your shoulders, have a certain influence, and don't make fatal mistakes, you will definitely win the war!
It is equivalent to picking up military merit for nothing.
With such a good thing, who wouldn’t want to rush forward? Why does it have to be his Wang Ben?
His Wang family is already a double candidate, and is extremely glorious. Isn't this enough?
"Okay, shut up!"
Ying Zheng frowned impatiently.
These old guys, whether in court or in private, were always arguing endlessly, and he was really fed up.
If it weren't for the fact that they had followed him loyally all his life, he would have really wanted to drive them all out of the court and let his ears be quiet for a few days!
"yes!"
After being scolded, the old guys lowered their heads, closed their mouths, and did not dare to say anything anymore.
But they all prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that this time the military merit would fall on them!
"Feiyu, tell me! Where shall we fight this time?"
The old guys shut up, and silence returned to the court. Only then did Ying Zheng look at Ying Feiyu with interest.
"My son thinks that what Marquis Tongwu said is right. I'll bring you the map. If your father doesn't like it, he'll hit it!"
Ying Feiyu leaned on the chair, yawned, and said lightly.
Wang Ben heard the sound and quietly gave him a thumbs up!
He is indeed his good son-in-law. He will definitely let Wan'er move around more when he comes back!
"Hahaha! Okay!"
Ying Zheng nodded immediately without thinking, and ordered someone to fetch the map and hang it on the wall on the side of Qilin Hall.
This map is about two feet long and one and a half feet wide. It was made by a paper mill using a special process. It is waterproof and oil-proof, and has legible writing. It can be used for decades without any problem!
Ying Zheng stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the map.
The ministers followed closely behind!
"Hahaha!"
Ying Zheng's eyes were the first to fall on the Great Qin territory, and he immediately showed a satisfied smile.
It took hundreds of years for Da Qin to develop from a small country to the dynasty it is today.
Even when he went underground and saw his ancestors, he was still able to explain!
