"This... so many."

Seeing Ying Zheng was surprised.

Kill Xiao He said: "Six granaries is still the most conservative estimate!"

"However, my lord, I suggest Your Majesty store these grains in the prefectural and county offices across the regions, managed by the local Junxian. In this way, should a disaster strike a local Junxian, the local Junxian can independently provide relief!"

"Of course, the premise for all this is that the Junxian across the land remain stable, and no one dares to resist Your Majesty!"

He bowed down and cried out.

And as soon as these words were spoken, Facing Ying Su's eyes instantly lit up!

This Kill Xiao He is truly a talent!

The method he proposed is not merely good!

It is simply extremely brilliant!

Moreover, is this not the grain-stocking system of later times?

In this way, the transportation and escort process is almost eliminated!

Facing Ying Su was still praising his proposal!

Li Si bowed down and said: "If the Junxian across the land remain stable in the future, Your Majesty can appoint officials locally, specifically responsible for overseeing grain collection and storage conditions!"

He bowed down and recounted this; Facing Ying Su could not help but nod. Li Si's proposal was also very good!

In this way, every local treasury would have a dedicated person in charge; should any problem arise, one could immediately find someone to question.

This method is truly very good as well!

He looked at Kill Xiao He and Li Si, and could not help but begin to nod and praise the talents of the two!

But... good as all this is, the greatest problem at present is still that one!

The Junxian across the land are not yet obedient!

Otherwise, there would be no need for me to send Yu Yu Huatian out to suppress those nobles.

"You say, how can we make those nobles obediently follow orders?"

At that moment, Facing Ying Su spoke, turning to question the two!

Both were stunned; then, they lowered their heads and remained silent!

"Do neither of you have any good ideas?"

Facing Ying Su asked them again!

The two still lowered their heads and remained silent!

Facing Ying Su's eyes narrowed, then he stared at the two and said:

"You say, after those nobles are captured, what if I reprimand them and then release them?"

"Using both kindness and severity in this way, could it make them obedient and compliant?"

"What?"

The words were spoken, and Li Si was surprised and said nothing!

After a moment, trembling with fear, he bowed down to Facing Ying Su: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Facing Ying Su looked at Kill Xiao He:

"What do you think? Lord Xiao?"

He asked, his gaze fixed intently on Kill Xiao He!

And Kill Xiao He was trembling constantly!

Finally, he bowed to Facing Ying Su: "Your Majesty... is wise!"

"Wise?"

"Is this truly what you feel in your hearts?"

In that instant, the light in Facing Ying Su's eyes flashed brilliantly.

And when Li Si heard these words, he was so terrified that his whole body trembled and shook!

In panic, he knelt and kowtowed to Facing Ying Su:

"Your Majesty!"

Kill Xiao He was also trembling!

He knelt before Facing Ying Su and kowtowed fiercely!

At this moment, the two of them were both trembling fiercely!

Facing Ying Su waved his hand, helped them up, and sighed:

"Are... these nobles really that terrifying?"

Li Si stammered:

"Your Majesty's desire to deal with this batch of nobles, Li Si can understand, and I also fully support it!"

"But now, after all, Han Xin and Li Yuanba have all gone to fight the Xiongnu!"

"At this time, if Your Majesty's approach toward the nobles is too extreme, I fear the nobles will once again stir up trouble!"

He spoke while trembling!

Kill Xiao He also nodded along!

Facing Ying Su looked at the two for a long time, nodded without speaking, then left the place!

And as soon as he entered Outside Xianyanggong, Facing Ying Su summoned the system!

Time to call for reinforcements!

Yes!

Before, he never understood why, after Li Yuanba and Han Xin left, his sense of loss was so strong!

And as soon as he left Li Si's residence, he understood almost instantly!

A sense of security!

After Li Yuanba left, he lost that sense of security!

Originally, Facing Ying Su thought that with Li Cunxiao, Fu Hao, Yu Yu Huatian, and others still by his side, stability could still be maintained!

He still feared no enemy whatsoever!

But Seeing Ying Zheng's words ultimately made sense!

Li Cunxiao cannot split himself; if enemies break into Xianyang City, he can handle it, but what about battles outside Xianyang City?

What to do?

Does the Great Qin have only one Xianyang City?

No matter how capable Li Cunxiao is, he cannot split himself!

No matter how fierce Fu Hao is, those two hundred thousand soldiers are still farmers right now!

The sense of security these two brought him was ultimately not as strong as the sense of security Li Yuanba and Han Xin brought him!

Li Yuanba!

He was a super fierce man who could fight two million three hundred thousand people alone!

With him by his side, Facing Ying Su assumed that no matter who the opponent was, as long as they did not possess the combat power of two million three hundred thousand soldiers, they posed no threat to him!

Han Xin spent his entire life fighting with fewer troops against more!

Moreover, every time he fought with fewer against more, he used new recruits and commoners to battle!

New recruits?

Why always use new recruits?

Because... that old rascal Liu Bang was wasteful!

Every time Han Xin had just trained a unit of soldiers, Liu Bang would transfer them away.

After Liu Bang had ruined them, he would come back to Han Xin to get troops again!

Repeatedly, this resulted in Han Xin never having veteran soldiers in his command!

His hands were always filled with raw new recruits.

Yet, even fighting battles with a group of raw new recruits, he could still achieve victory in every single battle!

With these two present, he felt Xianyang City was as solid as metal and stone, and it was simply impossible for anyone to conquer it!

Even enemies outside Xianyang City, he never feared!

Just fight them!

Han Xin guards the home, Li Yuanba goes out to fight!

But... Li Yuanba has left!
