Fu Jian grabbed his hand and dragged him directly to the Proclamation Room. The Proclamation Room was established by Qin Shihuang as a place where the emperor and his ministers discussed politics. It was the second political affairs hall besides the court hall, and it has been in use since Qin and Han Dynasties.
When they went in, they found that Wang Meng was already waiting there. It turned out that this was planned by Fu Jian to arrest him and come here to discuss matters. Xuancheng gritted his teeth bitterly.
"Mr. Yang Ping, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?" Wang Meng gave him a gentle smile.
Xuancheng thought, didn't I just see this this morning
"Okay, okay." He responded a few times and walked over.
Fu Jian sat on the ground, "Come here."
Xuancheng did not move.
"come here."
Xuan Cheng was stunned, he would act as hypocritical as a little daughter-in-law if he couldn't go there any longer, so he quickly walked over and sat down.
Nan'an waited behind Fu Jian, and there was a teacup on the table with hot tea in it.
"Didn't you say you want to reform the military system? Come, let's talk about it." Fu Jian asked him.
Xuancheng glanced at them and said, "When we first entered Chang'an, the army was brought in from the grassland, and the original recruitment system on the grassland was implemented. Everyone volunteered to join the army, but there was no military salary. Going on has led to a lack of numbers in our army and a decline in the enthusiasm of the army, which can be seen from when we attacked Luoyang before."
"In the battle of Luoyang, our Qin army was all brave and did not flinch. Why did Duke Yang Ping say that?" Wang Meng asked.
"The battle of Luoyang, that's because we told the soldiers that as long as we conquer Luoyang, we can take Yecheng directly, destroy the country of Yan, and merge the country of Yan into our territory of Qin, which is also the scope of the battle for the soldiers Afterwards, it will be much easier to attack the Chou Chi Dai State of the Liang State, but I did not expect that the Murong family sent envoys and we made peace, I am afraid that it will not be easy to attack Luoyang in the future."
Fu Jian agreed, "That's right. I promised them that as long as the battle of Luoyang is over, I will lead them to take Yecheng, the capital of Yan. This peace talk is my slip of the tongue."
"The soldiers must have complained." He said in a low voice.
"Even so, we will attack Yecheng soon, it's just a matter of time." Wang Meng said suddenly.
Xuancheng stared at him blankly, "Attack Yecheng?" He looked at Fu Jian, "Didn't you say you have a five-year contract? Why are you going to attack Yan again soon? Is this your breach of contract or the Murong family's breach of contract?"
Fu Jian didn't respond to him.
"You still want to fight the country of Yan? You want to take the country of Yan as your own?"
Wang Meng said from the side, "Mr. Yang Ping, think about it. Murong Wei is incompetent. The government has fallen into the hands of the Queen Mother Kezu Hun. The people are in dire straits. We can unify the Northern Kingdom. This is the blessing of the people."
Xuancheng snorted.
He wanted to quarrel with Fu Jian, but because of Wang Meng's presence, he didn't want the relationship with the prime minister to be too rigid, so he smiled gently, "What the prime minister said is that the kingdom of Yan should be merged into the territory of the kingdom of Qin gone."
"So we should reform the military system and change our backward recruitment system to a conscription system."
"Conscription?"
"Yes, to make the country rich and strong, the military system must keep pace with the times. The conscription system can force qualified men to join the army, and at the same time give them military pay to increase their enthusiasm. On the one hand, the number of the army will increase. The quality will also improve, and it will be just around the corner if you want to attack the country of Yan, or the country of Liang in the northwest."
"You can force the people to enlist in the army, if that's the case,,"
"The reform of the Qin State, Shang Yang's conscription reform, forced men over the age of fifteen to join the army, and rationed the military salary. Therefore, Qin State became a teacher of tigers and wolves. Everyone in the world is interested in profit. As long as you give them money, they will work hard for you. What's more, it is for the monarch and the country. Although the recruitment system is popular, it is in the nomadic tribes and relies on the initiative of the people. Of course, if there is no military speech that moves people with emotion and reason, the people will not fight on the battlefield. I just feel that if this tribe is gone, they will have nowhere to go, so our hearts are united, but since we have entered Chang'an, we will restrain them with the system of the Han people. It is the way of heaven for the people to serve the monarch. .”
The two nodded in unison after hearing what he said.
Fu Jian even stared at him with eyes that were almost scrutinizing, and Xuancheng was frightened again. He was afraid that the person in front of him would recognize him. At that moment, he would not know how to face it.
