Because of Jiang Hu's return, and an unprecedented victory, it marked the complete and successful end of the mission of sending troops to Henan. The Qin Empire not only recovered Henan, but also broke into Hebei for three thousand miles. Within a month, it rushed thousands of miles to raid the Xiongnu royal court, killed Touman Shanyu, and captured Touman's wife and second son. This great victory could shock the entire Huns and surrounding Hus.

Next, there are naturally some reward orders. At the same time, not only will the main generals who participated in the war return to Xianyang to offer prisoners, but also a large number of middle and low-level generals and soldiers who have obtained great merits will return to Xianyang to receive rewards. Xianyang also has to go to the Northwest Military Camp to reward and reward soldiers who have obtained military merits.

It seems messy but orderly, and time is almost time.

"Henan has been pacified, the Xiongnu royal court was destroyed, the Touman was killed, and the Xiongnu tribes lost their leaders' leadership and were in chaos. I think that the Xiongnu would not have the strength and courage to disrupt our border for at least a few years. However, at present, the counties in the northwest of our country have garrisoned 300,000 soldiers and millions of surrendered soldiers from the front six countries along the border of the Great Wall. These surrendered soldiers are very expensive every day, which is an extremely heavy burden for our Great Qin. What are your good ideas to deal with these millions of surrendered soldiers?" Qin Shihuang looked at the civil and military officials under the court with a calm expression.

Many ministers looked at each other, then looked at each other's nose and thought they didn't hear it. Everyone knew that these million surrendered soldiers were a burden, but no one was willing to touch them.

Because these are all surrendered soldiers from the first six countries, they are powerful soldiers with swords, guns, bows and arrows. If they are not handled well, no one can afford to have problems. Therefore, it is best to just act like a turtle with a head-shifting turtle. The emperor is worried about it himself, and he will do whatever he wants. If something happens, the emperor will pull his beard.

Therefore, the Shangqing, who likes to make rules on national policies, turned a blind eye and listened to them like a deaf and blind man.

Looking at the hanging heads in the court, Qin Shihuang twitched a few times and said, "I want to release these surrendered soldiers..."

"Your Majesty, no!" Before Qin Shihuang could finish his words, Li Sifeng Quji stood up almost at the same time and stopped him loudly.

"What's wrong?" Qin Shihuang said with a majestic expression.

"Your Majesty, these million surrendered soldiers are all strong soldiers of the first six countries. They are not ordinary civilians. The lands of the six countries are still in turmoil and uneasy. Once released, they may cause disaster!" Li Si bowed his hand and answered with an extremely serious expression.

"Your Majesty, what Li Xiang said is very true. These surrendered soldiers cannot be released!" Feng Quji pointed out.

"I'm going to discuss it!" A group of ministers stood up and posted it.

"Is it necessary for me to let these million surrendered soldiers lie on me like leeches and suck blood? My three million stones of grain equipment can sweep Henan, but I will keep them for free and consume them year after year. I will never allow it. Who can come up with a way to satisfy me? I will reward 100 hectares of grain and increase my fief of thousands of households."

The so-called reward must be followed by a brave man. Soon a general stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the best way is to adopt the strategy of Wu'an Jun's attack on Zhao..."

"Not bad, dig a hole and bury it for all!"

"Marquis Xiongshan is right. He now has new horse-dressing equipment. Moreover, the two great victories in Henan and Hebei have been eradicating the Huns' dangers. These million surrendered soldiers are indeed useless. It is better to kill them to eliminate future troubles..."

In this barbaric era, killing people is actually not a big psychological burden for anyone. From peddlers and pawns to kings and princes, there has never been a concept of human rights. Apart from some great sages, almost no one has much awe of life and draws his sword to each other. If it weren't for the Qin Law's ban on fighting, people would probably have been slapping their brains all day long on the streets. The reason for the Qin Law's ban on fighting was not because of respecting life, but for social stability, and not letting fights and causing trouble and disrupting public order.

Civil and military officials whispered, and the hall was buzzing continuously. Soon most people reached a unified view and agreed that it was more appropriate to dig a hole and bury it. It was both troublesome and labor-saving, as well as food and brains, because once it was killed, there would be no headaches for this matter again.

"Do you guys have other good ideas?" Qin Shihuang's face remained motionless.

"Your Majesty, these million surrendered soldiers are of no use. Keeping them will waste food in vain. It is better to follow the strategy of Xiongshan Marquis to kill them to eliminate future troubles!" Feng Quji bowed.

"I'm going to discuss it!" Almost all the civil and military officials in the court stood up.

"Okay, the Grand Historian wrote the order!" Qin Shihuang nodded, and a middle-aged scholar next to him immediately picked up the brush.

Originally, drafting an imperial edict has always been the job of the CRRC Mansion Order, but Jiang Heng was dismissed from office and imprisoned for Zhao Zhe's affairs and is still under investigation. As the closest minister to control Yin Bazi for the emperor, this position is still vacant at present. Before Jiang Heng, he was Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao has been in the CRRC Mansion Order for nearly twenty years. One of the biggest reasons is that Zhao Gao wrote very beautiful calligraphy.

Qin Shihuang was an emperor who cared about face. It can be seen from his patrols and erected stones and monuments everywhere in the country to promote his merits. Following the example of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, he tried to elevate his status to the point where the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were the same. All these places were written by Li Si, because Li Si's calligraphy was also written very well.

Qin Shihuang himself never wrote inscriptions, probably because his writing was very ordinary, which was completely different from the leaders of later generations who wrote ugly characters but liked to write inscriptions. From this we can see that Qin Shihuang was indeed a true and most singular person.

Xiaozhuan was improved by Li Si and Zhao Gao, so these two people are also considered the founder of Chinese calligraphy.

Therefore, the position of the CRRC Mansion is vacant, so Qin Shihuang had to use another calligraphy master who participated in the improvement of Qin seal scripts. The Taishi Ling Hu Wujing helped for the time being. Many of the CRRC Mansions were written by the Emperor after the Emperor wrote it, and then the CRRC Mansions were stamped and passed on.

Hu Wujing knelt in front of a small desk next to him, opened a blank silk book, and added a pen to wait for the emperor's order.

The civil and military ministers below also breathed a sigh of relief, with a relaxed expression on their faces. As soon as the emperor's killing order was issued, millions of surrendered soldiers would disappear in an instant, and there was no need to worry about this hidden danger anymore.

As for the suggestion of Xiongshan Hou Tu Sui, he was already slightly excited. He had 50 fertile land and increased his fiefs to a thousand households. These were the highest rewards that he would get by the victory of the Great War. He was so easy to get, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

"Added 50 hectares of grain fields in Qinghe Hou, and increased the fief of thousands of households!"

"ah?!"

The civil and military officials of the morning were all over and over again.

Hu Wujing, who wrote the imperial edict, shook his hand, poked a black ink pattern on the silk book, and then quickly crossed out the Xiongshan Hou and changed it to Qinghe Hou.

Hunshan Hou Tu Sui was puzzled and stared at the emperor with big eyes blankly. His heart was in a mess. It was obviously a plan he had come up with, but why was the guy Qinghe Hou rewarded? This... Is there any reason for this?

Qin Shihuang did not care about the surprise of his ministers at all. His eyes were coldly swept across the hall and then said: "I am not a killer. Moreover, these million surrendered soldiers were their masters back then. Even though they fought with our Great Qin, they were loyal masters. They were not plotting rebellions. Now all six countries are equal, all the lands of the Six Kingdoms are all the people of our Great Qin, and the people of the Six Kingdoms are all the people of our Great Qin. All the sun and the moon are shining by Qin land. When rivers arrive, they are all the ministers of Qin. If I kill these million surrendered soldiers, how can I win the hearts of the people in the world? These million surrendered soldiers are all strong and strong adult men. For farmers, they can be said to be farming 100,000 hectares of grain fields. For soldiers, they can be a million army, and for slaves, and they can replace millions of people and soldiers..."

Qin Shihuang directly brought out the speech that Chen Xu had divided the surrendered soldiers almost intact. After saying that, his face became more serious: "Although these million surrendered soldiers are the source of chaos, if they are handled properly, it should be a huge force to prosper our Qin Dynasty. The Marquis of Qinghe once told me: The center can be obtained by force, but it cannot be defended by force. It is a long-term technique. I deeply believe that, so at the beginning of improving the horse harness, the Marquis of Qinghe submitted a memorial and proposed a strategy to divide the million surrendered soldiers..."

Damn it, it turned out that way. Tu Sui pressed Chen Xu to the ground and rubbed him hard, and then sat down dejectedly.

The civil and military officials in the court also glanced at each other a few times, and sat down with shame.

Chen Xu's plan to divide millions of slaves was originally forced to come up with a hasty idea because Qin Shihuang forced him to come up with it. But after all, his pattern exceeded the current civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty for thousands of years, and had already jumped from a slave society to a human rights society. The first thing he thought of was naturally not killing. This is the difference between him and the current civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty and even everyone. Therefore, in terms of disposal, he naturally wanted to find ways to keep them alive and then find ways to use it.

Qin Shihuang did not agree with Chen Xu's several differentiation suggestions at the beginning. This was also because of the huge generation gap in the thinking of the times. Moreover, Qin Shihuang was an emperor, so he was more concerned about the stability of the Qin Dynasty. If these surrendered soldiers really caused trouble every day, even if they were not easy to kill, they would eventually be unable to bear it, just like burning books and burying scholars.

After several months of thinking, Qin Shihuang combined Chen Xu's differentiation and disposal strategy and proposed a complete set of his own methods.

After hearing these measures of disposal, the civil and military ministers of the court finally convinced and slapped Qin Shihuang's horses, all of which were said to be the wise and wise of Your Majesty. After a brief court discussion, the order to divide millions of surrendered soldiers was also newly released. The three provinces and six ministries cooperated closely to spread Meng Tian and the northwest counties to properly handle millions of surrendered soldiers.

The elderly and weak will be pardoned and returned to their homes. The local county, county and township three-level office will be organized to distribute clothing and distribute land, which will be treated equally with ordinary civilians.

Those who are honest and decent will be pardoned, those who have families are allowed to return home, and those who have no families will distribute money, grain and tools, and allow them to settle in the northwest counties. They are allowed to be civilians, marry and have children, and treat them equally with the people of the Qin Dynasty.

Choose strong and tame people to build cities and garrison in the newly conquered Henan area. They can intermarry with border residents or Hun women. The service period is three years. After three years, they will be granted nationality.

Some skilled archers and horses were charged into the military camps as slave soldiers. If they obtained military merits, they would abolish slaves and gain military merits from the Qin army. Then they could earn military merits like the Qin soldiers. As long as they were brave enough, they would not dare to be named a marquis, but earning an intermediate title ensured that the family had no worries about food and clothing.

Most of the uncertain surrenders were demoted to slaves, and sent to the border and deserts to reclaim land or build the Chidao Post Road. Some of them were directly sold to merchants as work slaves to mine and smelify iron. There were nearly 600,000 of these people. Once these people were scattered into all walks of life in the Qin Dynasty, they would definitely replace a large number of civilians and become a construction army.
