Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 265
"I don't know the secrets in it! However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and His Majesty can send other people to track it down!" Radar said lightly.

Qin Wangzheng showed a deep smile.

Since there is another secret, it can be used as our handle!

Qin Wangzheng waved his hand slightly, signaling the radar to step back for now.

The next day, Chen Ping, the official censor, stepped into the hall, bowed down and knelt down to worship.

"Your Majesty, the minister has already checked it out!"

Qin Wangzheng showed a faint smile, and Chen Ping reported some details to Qin Wangzheng.

A piece of bamboo curtain paper was presented in front of Qin Wangzheng, mainly about the relationship between the characters of the Peacock Empire. Qin Wangzheng had a clear view of it, and he deeply agreed with Chen Ping's ability.

The first is Chandragupta, founder of the empire.

After Alexander's death, he took the opportunity to stir up trouble, rose up, led the people to overthrow Macedonia's notice, and established the Mauryan Dynasty.

As a ruler, Chandragupta Maurya was very different from the earlier Aryan Ra.

Not only was his kingdom populous and wealthy, but his rule had surprisingly some of the hallmarks of a modern state.

Paternalistic management of social life and social activity, especially in the economic sphere, through a multifunctional bureaucracy.

Control of mines, forests, pearling, and even the pans used to make salt.Farms, shipyards and arsenals were opened, and poor women were hired to weave.

In addition to civil institutions, Chandragupta also established a strong military force, claiming to have 60 infantry, [-] cavalry and [-] war elephants.

The king of the Maurya Dynasty had administration, judiciary, legislation, and military in one, and was managed by region, similar to the county system of the Great Qin Dynasty. The regional chiefs were held by the king's relatives.

At the same time, Chandragupta abolished the strict punishment for violating the enactment.The death penalty, sometimes carried out by poison, was not subject to any restrictions on the death sentence.

Having a large number of spies, intelligence agents and secret police was a typical feature of the early Indian monarchy, but the Mauryan Emperor seemed to have developed it to a perfect state of art, bringing stability to vast areas of India.

In addition, Chandragupta is also widely praised for the construction and improvement of public water conservancy projects and the construction of roads, including a royal highway connecting the capital and the northwest frontier, with a length of 1000 and [-] miles.

Since then, after the death of the first emperor, the second generation of kings still stood firm for self-defense. After two generations of kings' management, the Ashoka period began to grow gradually.
King Ashoka was a violent monarch. He was warlike in the early days, conquered large areas of land, and pushed the Maurya Dynasty to its peak. Its territory covered most of the Indian Peninsula and extended to the southern part of Central Asia and Afghanistan. The specific area is hard to say, about 450 million square kilometers, and the population There are more than 3000 million.

Qin Wangzheng frowned from the very beginning, making everyone feel an inexplicable sense of suffocation.

Chen Ping didn't dare to speak anymore, he was afraid that the president would grow others' ambitions and destroy his prestige.

But Qin Wangzheng still agreed to let him continue talking. Chen Ping took a deep breath, exhaled heavily, and said slowly: "Although King Ashoka was a tyrant, he killed hundreds of brothers and sisters in order to ascend to the throne, but he killed the peacock. The dynasty developed to its peak."

The territory is from the west of Afghanistan to the east of Bengal, almost controlling the entire Indian subcontinent.

"I swept the world and unified the Kyushu. I thought that the Great Qin Empire was invincible and made the surrounding countries submit to the Great Qin. I didn't expect that compared with the Peacock Dynasty, it is still a little less coquettish!"

After the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, the Great Qin Empire covers an area of ​​340 million square kilometers, and the population of the empire should be less than 3000 million.

It seems that the population and ability of the Maurya Dynasty are stronger than that of the Great Qin Dynasty.

However, Chen Ping said comfortingly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this."

"Although the population and territory of the Great Qin Dynasty in the past was not as large as that of the Maurya Dynasty, the soldiers were all capable of conquering and fighting well. One was against ten."

"Besides, after conquering the Xiongnu, the territory of the Great Qin is not only the 300 million kilometers, but also thousands of miles away. With the addition of the Huns, the population of the Great Qin has already doubled!"

A faint smile appeared on Qin Wangzheng's gloomy face.

What's more, the Great Qin Empire also has subjects of other empires. In the event of a war, these subject countries can also send heavy troops to reinforce Great Qin, and Great Qin can quickly expand its army of one million!
Furthermore, the geographical location of the Maurya Dynasty is not as good as that of the Great Qin Empire.

Chen Ping continued to add: "The Maurya Dynasty was located in the south of the Western Regions, with a hot and rainy climate and a vast area of ​​cultivated land."

"Coupled with a large population, the Maurya Dynasty attached great importance to agriculture. It greatly promoted water conservancy, opened ponds and canals for agricultural irrigation, and should have more grain production. Cotton and cotton cloth are well-known."

"Moreover, the handicrafts and commerce of the Maurya Dynasty were also very developed, such as iron smelting and ships."

"Production tools such as iron plows and hoes have been widely used in agriculture."

"Dynasty has a specialized shipbuilding industry, and there are supporting workshops to manufacture sails, cables, etc."

"The Maurya Dynasty built several main commercial roads, which can lead to the vast area west of the Western Regions, and the business management is orderly."

Qin Wangzheng's complexion gradually became serious.

I also attached great importance to the development of agriculture and economy. In order to stabilize the foundation and improve conditions, the Qin Dynasty implemented a series of favorable measures to promote agriculture, such as increasing labor, increasing grain prices, strengthening grain trade management, optimizing taxation policies, and reducing farmers' burdens, and adapting measures to local conditions.

But compared with the Maurya Dynasty, it is still a little bit worse.

However, with the popularization of Quyuan plow, keel waterwheel and other tools, coupled with the popularization of the field substitution method, the farming efficiency of Qin State has improved by leaps and bounds.

With the emergence of the big spinning wheel, the handicraft industry has also been promoted step by step, which has increased by about [-]% compared to the past!

However, the development of business is still stagnant, and business is like a sharp knife piercing deeply into his chest, and has not been developed. Therefore, the next step is to gradually develop business.

However, the Great Qin Dynasty carried out large-scale construction and water conservancy projects, and did more than the Mauryan Dynasty in this regard.

The moves are all generous, such as repairing the Great Wall, opening the Lingqu, connecting the southwestern Yi, building five-foot roads, and building straight Qin roads.

Qin Shihuang attached great importance to social infrastructure, made inspection tours, and built many water conservancy projects.The Qin Dynasty regularly overhauled and maintained large and small projects.

There is nothing to say about smelting, and the Shang Dynasty was already very developed.Iron smelting appeared in the Warring States Period, which is quite different from the Maurya Dynasty.

Qin Wangzheng was not happy or angry, and seemed to be calm, and said lightly: "The area of ​​cultivated land in the Peacock Dynasty is slightly inferior, but the land in the Central Plains is more fertile. Both sides are very powerful and have their own characteristics. The agricultural economy is not much different. .”

"If the military power is compared, Daqin may have to crush the Maurya Dynasty with strength!"

King Alexander of Macedonia marched south to India, and when he withdrew his troops, he left a garrison in northwest India.

An aristocratic young man from Magadha named Chandragupta led an uprising to defeat the Macedonians, and later overthrew the Magadha regime and established the Mauryan Dynasty.
