The Jagged Empire of Daqin

"I'm trying to reason, so tell me, how do you arrange these Jin girls?" Yang Ze asked with a half-smile.

"My minister's meaning is the same as Lord Lei's, to divide the [-] Jin girls equally among the men of the right age in the seven counties!" Jia Luo bowed down facing Ying Chang and said.

Kong Wen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, also walked out of the queue at this time, bent over respectfully and wrote: "I would like to inform you, Your Majesty, I believe that the population of Shangyang County has dropped by half since the Yangguan Defense War. The population is at least one county, and I suggest that all [-] Jin girls be placed in Shangyang County, so that every man of the right age in Shangyang County can marry one or two Jin girls, and there is no need to distribute them to the other six counties!"

"Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate!" Jiang Haiyou, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, also stood in line, denying Kong Wen's point of view.

"Why?" Ying Chang asked with interest.

It has been a long time since a dispute occurred between hundreds of officials who insisted on their own words.

"Since the end of the Yangguan Defense War, the population of Shangyang County has indeed dropped by half, making it the least populous county among the seven counties in Daqin. Due to the lack of population, Shangyang County's annual financial income is also the lowest among the seven counties! "

"In the defense of Yangguan, Shangyang County lost a large number of young and strong, and there were countless orphans and widows. Now the existing young and strong in Shangyang County are experiencing a situation where one person supports seven or eight people. They are already under great pressure. Say, how many people will be overwhelmed by giving them two more meals?" Jiang Haiyou replied with a solemn expression and a slight frown.

The defense of Yangguan was really a big blow to Shangyang County. If the imperial court had not rewarded the old Qin people who participated in the war and comforted the old Qin people who died in the battle, the young and strong in Shangyang County would have been unable to bear seven or eight people. The pressure from people is overwhelming, and now that the court is giving them two women, another mountain has to be added to the young and strong shoulders of Shangyang County, crushing them alive!

In the end, the court may be self-defeating.

"It's better to have an average score of seven counties!"

"It's better to reward the soldiers!"

Both Jarrow and Yang Ze insisted on their own opinions, and there are officials who support them behind them, forming two camps and two viewpoints on this matter.

"What does Jiang Aiqing mean?" Ying Chang looked at Jiang Haiyou expressionlessly and asked.

"I also agree with Master Lei's point of view, and distribute it equally to the seven counties!" Jiang Haiyou's opinion is the same as that of Leitong and Jia Luo, and they all think that it is better to average the seven counties.

Of the six ministers, five have already stood up and expressed their views. These five also represent their respective yamen. The five people are divided into three camps. One supports the resettlement of Shangyang County, one supports the average of the seven counties, and one supports rewards for soldiers.

Now only the imperial censor Changqing was missing, and the prime minister Chang Zifei didn't make a statement.

"Du Yushi, what do you think about this?" Ying Chang immediately asked Du Yushi Changqing the question.

When Chang Qing saw Ying Chang asking himself a question, he suddenly smiled awkwardly, and slowly stood out of the queue, bending over with a wry smile on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, it is feasible for you to ask your ministers to investigate corrupt officials, but this minister cannot, everyone. The adults have their own reasons, and it is difficult for me to distinguish which is good and which is bad, please forgive me!"

"I asked too much!" Ying Chang nodded helplessly, Chang Qing gave a wry smile and retreated to his stand, then Ying Chang looked at Chang Zifei, and before Ying Chang could ask a question, Chang Zifei raised his hand The editor replied: "Your Majesty, the minister's opinion is consistent with Master Kong's, and all [-] Jin women will be placed in Shangyang County!"

"Okay, I already know what you Aiqing mean. Chang Xiang and Kong Aiqing advocate that all Jin women be placed in Shangyang County and restore the population of Shangyang County. Jia Aiqing, Lei Aiqing, and Jiang Aiqing advocate equality, and Yang Aiqing advocates rewarding soldiers!"

"After all of you have said your point of view, then I will also share my point of view. My meaning is the same as that of Chang Xiang, Kong Aiqing, and I plan to place all [-] Jin women in Shangyang County!" Ying Chang's face was calm, his tone Said lightly.

After Ying Chang's words fell, Jia Luo immediately questioned: "But Your Majesty, the population of men of the right age in Shangyang County is less than [-]. If all the [-] Jin women are placed in Shangyang County, it means that the men of the right age in Shangyang County will have more than [-] men. Who can resist marrying seven or even eight Jin daughters!"

The Ministry of Rites said that every man of the right age in Shangyang County has one or two Jin girls on average, which is completely overestimating the number of men of the right age in Shangyang County.

"Seven..."

"This is really unbearable, just eating is a problem!"

"Yeah, if that's the case, the pressure on men of the right age in Shangyang County will be great!"

"Don't talk yet, His Majesty will definitely have a solution!"

"Everyone be quiet!"

When the ministers heard Jia Luo's words, they couldn't help discussing immediately, but this time, all the ministers were very self-aware, and stopped after discussing for a while, waiting for the judgment of Ying Chang.

Ying Chang glanced around the group of officials expressionlessly, and then said in a neutral tone: "I know what you Aiqing are worried about. It is nothing more than worrying that the men of the right age in Shangyang County cannot afford to support them. According to Jia Aiqing, they do support them. I’m sorry, but the imperial court can support them, and the imperial court helps them raise their children and women, I don’t believe that the population of Shangyang County can’t recover!”

"Ah? Imperial support? It's not this, it's all that and that!" Jia Luo suddenly became anxious, why did he become an imperial support.

"Jia Aiqing, don't worry, I know you care about money, but Aiqing, you have to be clear that the money is spent wisely, and it is not a loss at all. You can exchange money for people. How can the court not do such a good thing?" ?” Ying Chang’s idea is very simple, the imperial court helps the men of the right age in Shangyang County raise children and raise wives, and the men of the right age in Shangyang County don’t have to worry about anything, just be responsible for making people!

Although this is a bit extreme, it is also the most powerful way to restore the population!

"Then how does His Majesty plan to raise it?" Chang Zifei asked with a slight frown.

The rest of the officials also looked at Yingchang, wanting to hear how Ying often helped men of the right age in Shangyang County raise children and raise wives.

Yingchang fell silent and fell into a brief contemplation. There are many ways to raise, but there are many things to consider. After a short period of contemplation, Yingchang made up his mind, and then said to the officials: "We will give you [-] yuan. Jin women all marry men of the right age in Shangyang County, compared to our imperial court who have done this coal!"

PS: "Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a full order, and ask for three daily requests. I hope you guys can click to vote, or download the whole book (manual smiley face) hehe!"

Chapter 304 Retreating from the court!

"The imperial court acts as a matchmaker, so Jin women have to marry into the men's home in Shangyang County with dignity and dignity. They can't humiliate the imperial court, and they can't wrong Jin women. How about this? When each Jin woman gets married, the imperial court will give each of them ten taels of silver. As a dowry, in this way, the imperial court will have face, and the Jin daughter will also have face!"

"At the same time, in order to stimulate the increase in population, from now on, no matter whether it is a Qin daughter or a Jin daughter in Shangyang County, whoever gives birth to a son for a Daqin man will be rewarded with five taels of silver child support at one time, and once a daughter is born. Sex rewards three taels of silver child support, if two consecutive children are born, ten taels will be rewarded at one time, and if two daughters are left in a row, six taels will be rewarded at one time, the more children are born, the more child support will be paid in the future!"

After hearing Yingchang's words, all the ministers were shocked, which is too exciting, not to mention the young and old people in Shangyang County, they all want to go home and work hard now.

Jia Luo, Minister of the Household Department, had a painful expression on his face, as if seeing Jin Yuanbao grow wings and fly away.

"Do you have any objections?" Ying Chang said to the officials with a smile.

In order to restore the population, he also spent a lot of money.

"I'm no different!" Chang Zifei and Kong Wen immediately bent down and shouted.

Ying Chang's decision is echoing the views of the two of them, to support the most difficult places first.

"The minister is no different!"

"The minister is no different!"

The ministers expressed their opinions one after another, Jiang Haiyou, Yang Ze, Jia Luo, and Lei Tong also supported the proposal. In fact, the four of them still did not agree with this approach, but they knew that what the emperor had already decided was basically already decided. It's useless to say anything else, so I simply followed what the emperor said. Anyway, what the emperor said was not unreasonable.

A country has power only when it has a population!

"His Majesty, I have to remind you of one thing!"

Du Yushi Changqing suddenly stood out of the queue and said solemnly.

"Say!" Ying Chang replied calmly.

"Your Majesty, there are all kinds of people in the world. I am worried that some people will be driven by profit, sell Jin girls for huge profits, or take babies that do not belong to them to the government to receive appeasement money through robbing, stealing, buying, etc.!" Chang Qing said with a look on his face. A solemn editorial report.

"Yes, yes, what Du Yushi said is right, it reminded me!"

One word startled the dreamer, and immediately made Yingchang aware of this problem.

"Where is the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment!" Ying Chang whispered!

"The minister is here!" Lei Tong, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, immediately stood up and bent over to respond.

"Draft the law and implement it. Anyone who donates, sells, or robs other people's or their own women will be fined a thousand taels of silver and punished with [-] years of hard labor. No pardon!"

"There is one more thing, but this is not a law. It is not to bully or insult Jin women. Let them know that this is coal made by the imperial court. If they dare to bully and insult, it is insulting and bullying the imperial court. As a consequence, they Can't afford it!"

In order to prevent this from happening, Ying Chang decided to rule it with strict laws, and in order to protect the dignity of Jin women, Ying Chang uttered harsh words again.

This is the emperor, every word becomes the law!

"Your Majesty is holy, long live my emperor!" Chang Zifei, Chang Qing, and Kong Wen knelt down on the ground and shouted loudly. Seeing this, the other officials immediately knelt down and knelt down and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is holy, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Let's get flat!" Ying Chang raised his hand calmly.

Hearing the words, the officials slowly stood up from the ground, then slightly adjusted their court clothes, straightened their backs, looked solemnly, and stared straight ahead without a smile.

call!

Yingchang let out a sigh of relief, then looked at the officials and said: "The main force of the Xiongnu in the Bailan Prairie has been wiped out by our Great Qin, and the Bailan Prairie has thus become my Great Qin's back garden. According to the original plan, my Great Qin will The Bailan Prairie is established as a prefecture and a county, and the Bailan Prairie is included in our Daqin territory!"

"But the Bailan Prairie is too big. It is impossible to control the Bailan Prairie in a short period of time. In addition, the General Hussars will give the soldiers a one-month military leave in turn. This means that within half a year, the Great Qin In the interior, it is impossible to send troops to wipe out the remnants of the Bailan Prairie, what do you think about this?"

The Bailan Prairie is very large, almost two and a half large Qin territories, bordering the three kingdoms of Qin, Jin, and Yan, and also bordering the Shanshi Prairie in the north of the Qiang people. It is such a large area that riding a horse across the Bailan Prairie would be complete. It will take three months, let alone wipe out the remnants of the Huns. It will be impossible to completely occupy the Bailan Prairie in three to five years.

Moreover, the Xiongnu in the Guyuan Prairie and Ningta Prairie will certainly not watch Bailan Prairie being occupied by the Qin army. Maybe the Huns from the two major prairie have already moved south to occupy the Bailan Prairie before the Qin army is dispatched. At that time, if the Qin army wanted to occupy the Bailan Prairie, they had to confront the Huns on the two major prairie.

too difficult!

It's not easy to conquer the world!

"Your Majesty, I believe that our Daqin does not need to rush to occupy the Bailan Prairie. When our Qin army is equipped with new weapons, destroying the Xiongnu is like crushing an ant. Now the most important thing for our Daqin is to restore national strength as soon as possible. To prepare for the establishment of prefectures and counties in the Bailan Prairie in the future!" Prime Minister Chang Zifei said solemnly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the main force of the Xiongnu in Bailan Prairie has been wiped out by us. We have at least ten years to prepare, so we are not in a hurry at all!" Minister of the Ministry of War Yang Ze also had the same opinion as Chang Zifei.

The Bailan Prairie is too big. With the background of the Great Qin Empire, it is difficult to swallow it in one bite. It needs to be cyclical and gradually eat away at the Bailan Prairie.

"Since that's the case, then don't worry about occupying the Bailan Prairie. We'd better wait for the Qinbei Great Wall border army to finish their vacation before making any plans. In addition, send a message to Yang Hu that if the Qiang people are unified, they must send it back to Xianyang as soon as possible!" Yingchang said with a deadpan expression, without anger or prestige.

"I obey the order!" Chang Zifei bowed down respectfully and responded.

"Okay, I've said almost everything. If there is something to do, I will play it immediately. If there is nothing to do, then I will retreat!" Ying Chang lazily got up from the dragon chair, took a breath, and felt a little tired.

a moment of silence.....

Seeing that none of the officials stood up to play, Ying Chang stepped down from the high platform and left the Qilin main hall from the back hall. Looking at the back of Ying Chang's departure, all the officials bent down and shouted in unison: "I wait for you to send me off!" Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After Yingchang's figure disappeared into the eyes of the officials, the officials got up from the ground one after another, and then walked together with their colleagues to leave the majestic and sacred Qilin Palace.

That's the end of today's meeting.

Chapter 305 I Suddenly Feel....

After the dynasty was over, Ying Chang went to the imperial study to review the memorials and reviewed the memorials submitted by the Ministry of Industry. The water conservancy plan of Shangyang County was still completed in April as stipulated. Now the Ministry of Industry has launched the road plan for Shangyang County. Not sure, because every quarter, the Ministry of Industry will send 1 people back to Shanxi.

Time passed slowly, day by day.

With the passage of time, the military expenses paid by the Jin Empire to the Qin Empire were finally sent to Xianyang, and the rich spoils that the Qin army had snatched from the Huns were also sent to Xianyang, which immediately filled the treasury of the Qin Empire, with a total of 850 yuan. Wanshi grain, 55 taels of gold, and 650 million taels of silver!

Great Qin became rich!

At the same time, [-] Jin women were also sent to Xianyang, and were being arranged by the Ministry of Household Affairs to various counties. When Jin women learned that seven or eight women were required to serve one husband, they were very unhappy, but even if they were unhappy, no one dared Say a word.

In this different world, except for the women of the Great Moon Empire, whose status is high, the status of women in other Kyushu countries is very low, not to mention that they belong to the spoils of the Qin army, and have no right to speak, and can only be slaughtered.

People are not ruthless, ruthless is the way of the world, ruthless is the troubled times!

However, when they learned that the Daqin court gave them a dowry of [-] taels per person, and that they were given money for having children, they were not particularly unhappy and dissatisfied. Moreover, the Daqin court also issued a series of laws to protect them, which can be described as With enough face, if this is placed in other empires, this is simply impossible to receive treatment.

When the men of the right age in Shangyang County learned that they were going to marry seven or even eight women, they all burst into laughter, and even their old parents were very happy, because the offspring are flourishing, and it is everyone's pursuit. .

Now that the imperial court has bestowed a gift from heaven, the imperial court acts as a matchmaker to marry a daughter, and there is a child support fee. It was painted as a portrait and enshrined.

Shangyang County received such a blessing, which made the young and strong of the six counties of Hebei, Hedong, Huainan, Nanyang, Guangfeng, and Hexi envious, even jealous. On the day they got the news, the same thing happened in the six counties. That is, some people went to the government to ask, do they get child support if they have children or daughters in this county?

Obviously, no!

With the passage of time, the soldiers of the Qinbei Great Wall began to rest in rotation. The 1 elite cavalry were divided into six groups, and a group of [-] people returned home with honors to visit their fellow villagers. Every returning soldier received a cordial greeting from the local government. She even boasted unreservedly, and the threshold for unmarried people was even stepped down by the matchmaker.

October 11st, the [-]th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, at noon, the Great Qin Empire, Xianyang City, the Imperial Palace, and the back garden.

In the middle of the sparkling lake in the back garden, there is a pavilion with flying eaves like wings. Ying Chang is wearing a loose big black robe, with long black hair scattered on his shoulders, standing quietly by the side of the pavilion, admiring the back garden The beautiful lake view, the nine-curved corridor on the lake, every three steps stands a powerful and well-equipped Imperial Guard, guarding the most noble people of the Great Qin Empire.

"Are there any fish in the lake?" Ying Chang looked at the lake and asked softly.

Tang Hua, who was standing next to Ying Chang, heard this, and immediately replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, there are fish. Your Majesty only needs to feed them, and the colorful fish will flock to them. Do you need a maidservant to get some fish food?" ?”

"Alas~" Yingchang suddenly let out a long sigh.

Seeing this, Tang Hua couldn't help asking with doubts in his tone: "Why does Your Majesty suddenly sigh?"

I was quite interested just now, why did I suddenly let out a long and inexplicable sigh?

Ying Chang looked at the sparkling lake with a calm expression, and he didn't know whether he had a whim or a sudden feeling. He looked at the lake without blinking and said: "I suddenly feel that the whole world seems to be this lake. The fish are the countries of Kyushu!"

"If a weak country becomes strong, it's like throwing a handful of bait into a lake, causing the fish to swarm over and swarm to eat up all the fish food. Just like the Jin Empire, its national power was completely consumed by Yan, Zhao, and Qin. Jing, Qin wants to be the biggest and hardest bait, so that those fish can't eat it!"

In this world of great strife, it is not easy for a weak country to become strong. This has nothing to do with the emperor. A strong country must weaken its neighbors. Neighbors will not let you become a strong country. Wait for the Great Qin to become strong. At a certain point, the so-called allies may contact other countries and launch an undeclared war against you, which will seriously damage your national power and make the efforts of one or even three generations of the empire go to waste.

Ying Chang's words were profound, and Tang Hua couldn't continue immediately, so he could only stand respectfully by the side and listen to Ying Chang's instructions.

tread... tread...

At this time, there was a sound of light footsteps. Ying Chang didn't turn his head to look, but Tang Hua subconsciously turned his head to look over. He saw his confidant Xiao Wei walking up the attic cautiously. When she saw that it was Xiao Wei, Tang Hua Hua then turned to Xiaowei and asked, "What do you want to report?"

Xiaowei first bowed with her back to Ying Chang, and then bowed to Tang Hua, "Director, Minister of the Ministry of War, Lord Yang Ze, please see Your Majesty!"

"Let him come over!" Ying Chang said with his back to Tang Hua and Xiao Wei.

"As ordered!"

Xiaowei responded with a kneeling salute, then turned around and walked down the attic. Not long after, Yingchang saw Yang Ze walking on the nine-curved corridor on the edge of the attic, walking towards the central attic. After a while, Ying Footsteps are often heard.

Ying Chang went to the stone table in the center, sat on a stone bench, brewed delicious tea himself, and waited for Yang Ze to come up.

"Chen Yang Ze pays homage to His Majesty!" The first thing Yang Ze did when he walked up to the attic was to bend down and salute.

"Sit down and taste the fragrant tea I brewed!" Yingchang smiled indifferently, and Yang Ze was not polite, and immediately sat on the stone bench opposite Yingchang. After taking his seat, Yang Ze took out the A memorial, handed over to Yingchang with both hands, and explained at the same time:

"Your Majesty, after three months of careful calculation by the Ministry of War, the cost of pensions for the fallen soldiers and rewards for military exploits has been calculated, and the amount spent has been written on the memorial. Your Majesty, please preview!"
