The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 153 Diplomatic events, asking for help and restoring the country

The first emperor is dead, what does it mean to talk to the first emperor more?
Ren Tian's face changed extremely quickly, and Du Hong stood there in a daze.

Dazai sighed in his heart, bowed his head and cupped his fists: "Your Majesty, this old minister feels unwell, please allow this old minister to go home and rest."

"allow."

All the courtiers in the hall left the hall in despair after seeing Dazai and the others.

So far, the courtiers and bureaucrats of the old generation of the new country have left the court center.

After Dazai and the others left, Ren Tian said: "Okay, so much time has been wasted in the early morning, it's time to discuss state affairs, dear friends, do you have a play? Come quickly. "

Zhao Ye, magistrate of Nanxian County, stood up: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"Play."

"Your Majesty, many members of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy have come to Xinguo, and they all want to invite a place in our South County to impart knowledge. Here is the list of all the Hundred Schools of Philosophy."

The little eunuch went down and picked it up, and soon the memorial page popped up, in front of Ren Tian, ​​there were more than a dozen schools, ranging from Confucianism to miscellaneous schools.

There are too many more than a dozen schools of thought, and the ideas of a hundred schools of thought must account for a certain proportion of the country's ideas in order to bring benefits to the country. Now, a dozen schools of thought and a hundred schools of thought are fiercely competing with each other, and the market share is so large. In the end, it is difficult for any one of the ideas to take the lead, and Xinguo will not benefit.

Ren Tian scanned it all over, and immediately said: "First remove all military strategists, famous families, peasant families, yin and yang families, miscellaneous families, novelists, and Yang Zhu School. Members of these schools of thought are not allowed to enter the new kingdom."

"Yes."

These companies don’t benefit much from Xinguo. Xinguo’s military capabilities are quite superior. Tian Dan and Bai Qi can be said to be of little use to soldiers, not to mention famous families and farmers. Xinguo’s output is sufficient. Well, forget about the Yin-Yang family, things like national fortune are done occasionally, if you rely on luck alone to conquer the world, it is still impossible.

The novelist is equivalent to advancing the functions of the eight doors of the east factory and the west factory in the later stage of the game, but the usefulness is not particularly good.

Among them, the miscellaneous family is quite special, "concurrently Confucianism and Mohism, combined name law", "all the ways of a hundred schools of thought are integrated", the representative is Lu Buwei, who will be a typical angel investor in later generations, and invested in an emperor.

Therefore, the function of the miscellaneous family is very special. If the player chooses to develop the concept of the miscellaneous family, then the player can have an additional investment function. After successfully ascending to the throne of a neutral country, the player's country can have an extra ally out of thin air!
Even later, it is not difficult to let the neutral country surrender.

This function is really powerful, but the nature of gambling is too serious. During the investment process, it also needs to spend all kinds of money, treasures, and even send troops to help the selected son seize the throne, which is a lot of effort.

With high investment and high returns, Ren Tian really has accepted the function of Miscellaneous, but he is not very good at this kind of gameplay, so he needs to be more lucky.

In addition to these schools, there are Legalism, Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, Strategists, and physicians in Xinguo. There are six schools in total. Ren Tian pondered for a long time, and then eliminated the physicians. The physicians are represented by Bian Que. , The main thing is to improve the level of national medical skills. In the future, if you encounter famous generals who are injured or seriously ill, you can save them.

The initial income is relatively low, so Nintendo ruled it out.

Therefore, there are still five schools left in Xinguo. Ren Tian has not yet found out the effects of Legalism. There is no one on the player forum, but Legalism is very strong in governing the country. Ren Tian speculates that it is likely to cause domestic reforms.

Taoism doesn't know either, but in the early Western Han Dynasty, Taoism's rule of inaction was adopted, allowing the people to recuperate, and the national strength recovered a lot, which was also helpful to the national strength.

In the end, five schools were allowed to preach in Xinguo, Confucianism, Legalism, Mohism, Strategists, and Taoism.

After drawing up the imperial edict, Ren Tian pressed the button to confirm, and the big jade seal stamped a red seal on the imperial edict.

"County Zhao, follow this imperial decree."

"Yes."

After the matters of various schools of thought were settled, Ren Tian asked again: "Dear dear ones, do you have any other reports?"

Fan Yi stood up: "Your Majesty, I found that the current price of meat in Nan County is too high, which has seriously affected the lives of the people."

"Oh?"

"Your Majesty, after the previous expansion of Nan County, the population size has increased, and the population influx into Nan County is already very large. Although the autumn harvest has been sufficient recently, the demand for meat has greatly increased, and the livestock meat in our Nan County market If it is less, it is very expensive for the common people to eat meat, if this continues, it may hurt the people, the common people cannot afford meat, and affect the economic development of the country.”

Fan Yi used to be equivalent to the Minister of Agriculture. Ren Tian arranged for him to be a subordinate official under Zhisu Neishi, basically also the Minister of Agriculture. The position is called Taicang Ling, who is in charge of grain storage in the treasury, and is also in charge of agriculture. some problems.

"What is the current development of my country's animal husbandry industry?"

"Your Majesty," another ordinary official came out, "Our Xinguo is not good at breeding, there are only scattered free-range breeding, and there is not much pork. Previously, the population of Nan County was small, so the supply was sufficient, but the population of Xinguo The influx is huge, plus the influx of refugees, it is already a bit unsustainable."

Ren Tian opened the building column to check, and found that after Xin Guo was promoted to a large Marquis, there was an extra livestock farm building, which can be used to raise some meat of cattle, sheep and pigs, and correspondingly, the butcher shop can also be upgraded , In the future, when the people build their own butcher shops, they can earn more taxes.

"My loves, do you have any countermeasures?"

As an emperor, if you are in doubt, you should first ask the ministers.

Yuan Lang said: "Your Majesty, through trade, Pingyuan County has a well-developed animal husbandry industry. Those neutral countries must have more meat. We can exchange it with commercial trade."

Fan Yi echoed: "Yes, after the autumn harvest this month, the domestic granaries have been completely filled, and there are even more. I also think this method is feasible."

Ren Tian nodded: "In this case, Yuan Lang, you will be fully responsible for this matter. Find a country in the northern part of Pingyuan County that is willing to trade with our new country and establish a long-term friendly trade relationship."

"Yes."

"However, trade with other countries is not a cure for the symptoms. Animal husbandry is extremely important to the development of the country. The new country must have its own animal husbandry. At the very least, the domestic meat supply must be increased. Xie Dang, you are in charge of this matter and recruit some people from the people. Talents with experience in animal husbandry will build animal farms and specialize in breeding pigs and sheep.”

"Yes!"

Another decree went down.

Fan Yi said again: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing. The autumn harvest this month is considered to be a bumper harvest in Xinguo. The granary has been fully stored, but there is still some more grain. May I ask your majesty whether to build a new granary or expand it?" ?”

Ren Tian has two more options in front of him. The surplus grain will be used to trade with other countries. As for the granary issue, it will be expanded or rebuilt.

"How much money do you need for expansion and reconstruction?"

"I have done some calculations, and I need to allocate 15 gold to build five granaries; to expand all the granaries in the country, I need 20 gold."

Ren Tian took a look at the treasury. The funds in the treasury are really pitifully small, only about 130 gold, but the granary is still very important to the new country. After the dough county and other counties have more grain, they need additional granaries as usual.

"In this case, let's expand first."

"Yes."

Another decree went down.

As soon as an order was issued, another courtier came out.

"Your Majesty, in addition to the pasture, the horse farm should also be prepared. At present, there are not many cavalry in the new country, and there is no fully formed cavalry unit. In the future wars, cavalry will be indispensable, so it is necessary to prepare in advance. I think If you want elite cavalry, you must first build a horse farm. At present, our country has a good harvest of grain, and the time for the horse farm has come."

This time it was Tian Dan.

Tian Dan focused on armaments, Ren Tian also took a look at his legions, of the four legions in Xinguo, only two were truly capable of fighting, the Shanzi Army and the Imperial Guard Legion, and the other two D-rank legions basically had no combat effectiveness. There are only about 800 cavalry troops in the Shanzi Army, and the number of players' legions will only increase in the future. In a war, there are tens of thousands of people, and hundreds of cavalry are really useless.

Ren Tian nodded: "I also had this intention a long time ago. Since that's the case, Xie Dang, this matter is also entrusted to you. Recruit suitable talents from the people, who are good at raising horses, and Bole, build a horse farm first."

War horses are not ordinary horses that can be used as war horses. They must be carefully selected among the horses, and horses that are suitable for war horses must be selected for training.

Raising horses is naturally expensive. In addition to building a horse farm, horses consume hay every day, and the personnel in charge of raising horses also need to be paid monthly.

Xie Dang said: "Your Majesty, do you want to follow the example of 'a thousand pieces of gold buy horse bones'? If you follow the example, I think you should be able to recruit some bole."

Ren Tian's heart moved, but then he shook his head: "Xie Aiqing, it's not that I don't agree, but the treasury doesn't allow it. Let's post notices to recruit people."

"Yes."

In the harmonious atmosphere of the monarch and his ministers, some government affairs were handled extremely quickly, and the few questions raised by everyone were quickly dealt with.

Ren Tian opened the building bar again, and after reaching the large kingdom, he unlocked some buildings, one of which, Ren Tian had to build.

Building Works: Mint (Small)
Cost: 10 gold, takes 5 days, requires 30 craftsmen

Effect: Coins can be minted every month to increase the country's financial revenue. Currently, it can increase the income of 50 gold per month. To build this building, it is required that there must be a mine resource point in the country, and copper ore or gold must be produced at the same time.

This is equivalent to adding money to the building, which must be built.

A decree goes down, and the energy value is deducted.

Afterwards, Nintendo implemented the construction option of expanding the saltworks.

Construction works: Expansion of the saltworks (medium size)

Cost: 20 gold, takes 30 days, requires 100 craftsmen

Effect: Expand the scale of the salt field, increase the monthly output of salt resources; increase the quality of salt, and at the same time add the building of the salt workshop. After the monthly allocation of funds for research and development, better salt can be developed and the technology of drying salt can be improved.

This is almost an imperial project task. There are two known salt farms in Xinguo. After the expansion, the output can be increased a lot. The most important thing is that the extra salt can be used for commercial transactions, allowing caravans to sell to other countries to make money. .

In addition, tea gardens, ceramic kilns, painting workshops, dyeing workshops, carving workshops, and breweries can also be built. These are equivalent to new industries, and even when they are developed, they can produce special products.

It would be better if the winery was run by the government. The progress of private wineries is too slow and there is too little research and development of new categories of wine.

Ren Tian pondered for a moment, and he took a fancy to the ceramic workshop again. As a commodity, porcelain can actually make a lot of money, and it was another imperial decree to order the construction of a ceramic kiln.

For the rest of the buildings, Ren Tian didn't repair them any more, and waited until the treasury was filled with some funds before repairing them.

After several imperial edicts in succession, Ren Tian's energy value is not much.

"My dear friends, is there any more play?"

Dianke Chen Xu stood up: "Your Majesty, I have two matters here."

"Play."

"One is that a troubled son came to Honglu Temple, claiming to be a son named Weiguo in the west. After the death of his father, he was supposed to succeed him, but he was usurped by his uncle and even sent people to pursue him. After hearing about your Majesty’s deeds, this son wants to ask for the power of the new country to help him restore the country.”

Ren Tianyi raised his eyebrows: "Rejuvenation?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, do you want to summon him? He said that the Wei Kingdom left a batch of treasures in the early days and hid them in other places. If the restoration of the country is successful, he is willing to give us these treasures."

Ren Tian, ​​who was lacking in interest at first, suddenly brightened his eyes: "In that case, let him have an audience."

There is money, there is wealth, what is the most lacking in Xinguo now, money.

Soon, a man named Zhao Xie went to the hall and saluted.

Ren Tian was quite interested and asked: "Excuse me, let me ask you, you said that you have a batch of jewelry hidden abroad, is it true?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, it is indeed true. In the early years when our country's great ancestor was facing the siege of other countries, he was worried that the country of Wei would perish. In order to make a comeback one day, he sent people to secretly transport a large number of jewels out of the country and hide them in one place."

"How much is it worth?"

"It can't be judged accurately, but it is estimated that there are 500 gold."

500 gold is enough.

Ren Tian smiled and asked, "Where is the Wei country, and what is its strength?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Wei is located on the plain of Hejian County. It is not considered a large-scale country. It is just a small country."

Following Zhao Xie's answer, a system box popped up in front of Ren Tian's eyes.

"Ding, you have encountered a diplomatic incident and asked for help to restore the country. A son named Zhao Xie came to ask for help. He hoped that you would send troops to help him restore the country. After that, he said that he would tell you where the treasure is hidden. The value is 500 gold Please note that in such incidents, after agreeing to help, there is a half probability that these sons will perform the contract faithfully, and a half probability that they will turn their backs, and it is also possible that what he told you is false information. Please carefully identify the credibility."

Seeing the warm reminder from the system, the corner of Ren Tian's mouth twitched, can such a thing be regretted?

But when he thought about it carefully, there were many such things in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, and it is entirely possible to go back on his word.

So, can we help?
