The Jagged Empire of Daqin

Before Du Changjing could reply, Ma boldly rushed over, picked up a long wooden box and put it on the ground, and then had to take off the wooden box cover, looking anxious, when the wooden box cover was taken off, the wooden box The items in the box will appear in the eyes of everyone.

Horse lance!

Many soldiers including Ma Bold and Zhao Hua were puzzled for a while, they didn't know what kind of weapon it was, but Du Changjing recognized it and was very familiar with it, isn't this the exclusive weapon of the Three Thousand Heavy Cavalry.

"This one doesn't need to be checked, and this weapon is not a new type of weapon, but it is worth mentioning that this is a cavalry weapon designed by His Majesty himself. It is called a lance, and it can also be called a horse lance. It is specially used for cavalry and is most suitable for heavy cavalry. , Lance is easier to use than a long spear, has many skills, and its armor-piercing ability is far superior to that of a long spear, which can help cavalry sweep the battlefield!" Du Changjing said with a faint smile on his face.

Hearing Du Changjing's words, Zhao Hua and Ma Daudao picked up a horse lance from the long wooden box, waved it casually, and found that it was indeed easier to use than a long spear, and it was longer and heavier than a long spear. It is indeed very suitable for cavalry charges.

"Your Majesty is truly a genius!"

"Yeah, capable of writing and martial arts, and can design weapons, a peerless talent!"

All the soldiers couldn't help sighing, and at the same time, when they remembered that the weapon in their hands was designed by His Majesty, they felt a burst of joy.

Miao Chun was not surprised that Du Changjing knew about Ma Li. After all, it was no secret that Du Changjing had been in charge of the heavy cavalry camp for two years.

Next, Miao Chun continued to take Du Changjing to check other weapons.

"This is a dagger, and it is also used in the whole army. Its purpose is to provide soldiers with more means to save their lives and more means to kill the enemy!"

"This is the Huan Shou Dao, and it is also deployed in the whole army. The blade is light, can be swung with one hand, the blade is sharp, and it can break armor like cutting mud. It is a new weapon of the Ordnance Department. It is not only used for cavalry, but also for Daqin soldiers!"

Miao Chun introduced daggers and ring knives one by one, which made the soldiers feel happy. The court was so thoughtful, matching the long and short ones, and all the new equipment was installed, and the army was equipped to the teeth.

After introducing the dagger and ring knife, Miao Chun took Du Changjing and other soldiers to the back of the convoy, took out a short crossbow from a wooden box, and handed the short crossbow to Du Changjing. Jing didn't regain his senses all of a sudden, and couldn't help asking: "This is?"

"Compared to fish-scale armor, horse spears, daggers, and ring-head knives, this is the real weapon of cavalry. This crossbow is a short crossbow, which is extremely light and can be operated with one hand. The short crossbow can shoot five short arrows at once. , the shooting range is within 350 steps, and beyond [-] steps, if the enemy is wearing armor, the power of the arrow is not enough to penetrate the armor of the enemy, and it will not be able to cause damage, but within [-] steps, the power of the arrow can penetrate The enemy's armor, of course, if the enemy is wearing heavy armor, they will not be able to harm the enemy within a hundred steps!" Miao Chun explained with a smile.

"hiss!"

There was a gasp from the crowd, and both Ma Bold and Zhao Hua were stunned.

Du Changjing was also stunned for a while, and then quickly searched for something from the wooden box. Du Changjing took out five short arrows from the wooden box, and then placed the five short arrows under Miao Chun's guidance. Among the crossbow.

Du Changjing raised the short crossbow with one hand and pointed in one direction, and the soldiers pointed in the direction quickly dispersed.

"Boo! Hah! Hah! Hah! Hah!"

Du Changjing pulled the crossbow machine five times in a row, and shot out the five arrows in the crossbow machine. After shooting, Du Changjing said eagerly: "Go and see how far you have shot!"

As soon as the voice fell, some soldiers ran towards the direction of the arrow. After a while, a voice came from afar:

"General, all five arrows landed at around 380 steps!"

"Hahahaha!"

Du Changjing looked at the short crossbow in his hand and laughed crazily. Zhao Hua, Ma Bold and many soldiers also looked at each other and smiled, all of them were happy from the bottom of their hearts.

With this short crossbow, the Xiongnu's shooting skills will become scumbags, and everyone can become a devil's eighteen knights.

"With this sharp weapon, let alone sweeping the Bailan Prairie, even if sweeping the Guyuan Prairie, the Ningta Prairie would be an easy task!" Du Changjing's face was flushed, and his expression was extremely excited.

He hadn't been this excited for a long time, even if he wiped out the main force of the Huns.

"Long live Daqin!"

Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted loudly!

"Long live Great Qin!! Long live Great Qin!!"

"The Qin army is mighty!! The Qin army is mighty!!"

"Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison again and again, and their morale soared inexplicably!

After waiting for a while, Du Changjing reluctantly put the short crossbow into the wooden box, then looked around at the surrounding soldiers and shouted loudly, "Unload the car and change it!!"

"Ooh!"

"Haha, don't grab it, don't grab it!"

"Don't make a mess, don't make a mess, I tell you, if any of you break it, you won't get new equipment!"

Chapter 315 Don't open tomorrow morning!

Du Changjing shouted loudly, causing all the soldiers in the audience to shout happily. A group of people frantically moved wooden boxes to change equipment. In less than a moment, the ground was full of chain mail and spears. People who didn’t know it thought they were Those who were beaten discarded their armor and armor.

Riding a tall horse, wearing a red tasseled helmet, wearing a dark fish scale armor, a knife around the left waist, a dagger in the right calf, a crossbow in the left hand, and a horse lance on the right side of the horse.

This is the equipment configuration of the Daqin Iron Cavalry. When the horse lance is not needed, the horse lance can be hung on the right side of the horse, leaving one hand free to use the ring head knife. With a set of standard equipment, every soldier seems to be transformed. Becoming a general can be described as majestic, domineering, and equipped to the teeth!

It is not an exaggeration to be known as the number one elite cavalry in Kyushu!

Next, the [-] soldiers of the Great Wall Camp changed their outfits one after another, and finally set aside [-] sets of new equipment for the [-] soldiers who had not turned back. Continue to train and get familiar with new weapons, the training content has also been greatly changed, and tactics have to be re-formulated.

Miao Chun, the right servant of the Ministry of War, had lunch with a hundred officers and soldiers and more than two thousand people in the camp, and then started to return.

Night, Xianyang City!

The night of the Spring Festival is the same as usual. Xianyang City implements a night ban. The huge Xianyang City is extremely quiet. The crickets resound in every corner of Xianyang City, giving people a quiet and peaceful scene.

Haishi, the Imperial Palace, and the Imperial Study Room!

The royal study room is brightly lit, and on the black carved dragon throne, sits a young handsome man, wearing a black jade dragon crown, wearing a black dragon robe with gold silk five claws, and a black dragon head belt around his waist, with a dragon and phoenix hanging on the left side of the belt. The sword, wearing gold-plated dragon boots, is concentrating on reviewing the memorial.

Even if it was the night of the Spring Festival or the hour of Hai, as the emperor of the Great Qin Empire, Ying Chang never slackened his government affairs. Tang Hua, the head of the palace, also knelt down on the side of the imperial case, respectfully and carefully rubbing ink for Ying Chang. The imperial study was extremely quiet. Only the sound of flipping through the memorial.

tread... tread...

There was a sound of easy footsteps, and Xiao Wei walked in holding a wooden plate with both hands. There were two plates of snacks on the wooden plate. Seeing this, Tang Hua immediately got up to take the wooden plate, and then put the wooden plate on the imperial case , and said to Ying Chang in a light tone:

"Your Majesty, eat something!"

Ying Chang looked up and waved his hand holding the cinnabar pen, "I don't have an appetite for dim sum, so I'll ask the Secretary of the Imperial Cuisine if there are any rice and vegetables. I want to eat vegetables!"

While speaking, Ying Chang was still concentrating on reviewing the memorial.

"Go and ask the people from the Imperial Cuisine Department to do it!" Tang Hua turned to look at Xiao Wei and said, Xiao Wei nodded to show that she understood, and immediately left the Imperial Study Room, and the snacks she brought were still placed on the imperial case.

Seeing that Ying Chang hadn't stopped from dawn until now, Tang Hua couldn't help but a trace of heartache flashed across his face, and immediately couldn't help but whispered: "Your Majesty, it's Haishi, it's time to rest."

Ying Chang remained silent and continued to review the memorials, ignoring the Tang paintings.

Seeing this, Tang Hua didn't dare to continue, worried that Ying Chang would find her annoying, and after a while, Ying Chang said in vain: "Prime Minister Xuan, Minister of the Household Department, and Minister of the Ministry of War have entered the palace!"

Tang Hua was taken aback for a moment, and some didn't realize it. After he realized it, he quickly sent someone to pass on the three ministers, Chang Zifei, Jia Luo, and Yang Ze.

At the same time as the three ministers announced their entry into the palace, the imperial meal from the imperial catering department was also delivered. The meal for the evening was very simple, just a bowl of fragrant rice and a plate of golden fried chicken. Perhaps Ying Chang was hungry, but it tasted delicious. To describe it as gobbling, eating all the food after a few efforts.

After eating, Tang Hua asked people to clean up the rice bowl, and at the same time poured a glass of wine and put it on the imperial case. Ying Chang grabbed the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, feeling comfortable!

After eating and drinking, he picked up the golden yellow silk to wipe the oil and wine stains from the corners of his mouth, and then continued to devote himself to the memorial.

Chengdemen!

"call"

"My lord, we've arrived at the gate of the palace!"

The three carriages drove to Chengde Gate at the same time. Prime Minister Chang Zifei, Minister of War Yang Ze, and Minister of Household Jia Luo also got off the carriage with the support of their respective housekeepers. Under the silver light of the bright moon, all three of them watched to each other's faces.

"Your Majesty announced you too?" Chang Zifei asked the two of them in astonishment.

"Yes!" Yang Ze didn't expect that Ying Chang would also announce Chang Zifei and Jia Luo.

"I thought only me was announced, but Lord Prime Minister and Lord Yang were also announced. It seems that His Majesty has something important to tell us!" Jarrow looked a little serious, feeling that there must be something important to say tonight.

Tomorrow will be the morning court, but His Majesty does not wait for tomorrow to choose now, there must be an urgent matter!

Chang Zifei pondered for a while, and then said: "Go ahead and talk about it first, Your Majesty must wait in a hurry!"

"Go ahead!"

"Ok!"

Chang Zifei walked in the front, followed by Yang Ze and Jia Luo. The imperial guards guarding both sides of the palace gate quickly opened the palace gate, not daring to obstruct the three ministers.

After walking for a while, the three of them finally approached the imperial study room. When they were still ten steps away from the imperial study room, the three of them stopped in unison, waiting for Ying Chang to call for an announcement.

In the imperial study room, Ying Chang was still reviewing the memorial, but with amazing hearing, he had already heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the imperial study room. Before Xiao Wei came in to pass on the message, Ying Chang put down the cinnabar pen, closed the door, and spoke in a calm tone. Lightly said: "Let the three of them come in!"

Xiao Wei, who was about to come in to spread the word, immediately stopped, turned around and walked out of the hall. After a while, Chang Ying saw Chang Zifei, Jia Luo, and Yang Ze walking in in court clothes.

The three of them stopped three steps before the imperial case, and then bowed down respectfully to pay respects and said: "I wait to pay my respects to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"There's no need to be too polite. Today I announced you to come in overnight. I have something important to say!" Ying Chang said, looking around at the three of them indifferently.

really!

Chang Zifei and the three couldn't help but feel heavy in their hearts, each showing a dignified look, and at the same time they were ready to listen to what Ying Chang had to say.

"Tomorrow's morning court will not be played, so the three lovers will tell you what they will play tomorrow morning, and after the performance, I will talk about it!" Ying Chang said immediately.

Do not open tomorrow morning?

What a big deal this must be!

The three of them looked at each other, and they all saw the puzzlement and curiosity in each other's eyes. Everyone was silent for a while, and Jia Luo bowed down respectfully to report: "Your Majesty, I have four things to prepare for tomorrow. But if His Majesty said to play it now, then play it now!"

PS: "Please recommend a ticket, ask for a monthly ticket, and ask for a full order, all the book friends, please do your best, Ollie, Ollie!"

Chapter 316 Shengqin's 11th Year Financial Income!

"The first thing is about the total consumption of my Daqin Shengqin for 11 years. During the 11 years of Shengqin, my Daqin consumed a total of 450 million shi of grain and 8605 million taels of silver. Compared with the total consumption of Shengqin in ten years, Shengqin's 11 years decreased Half of the silver output!"

"The second thing is about my Daqin Shengqin's 11-year fiscal revenue. My Daqin's 11-year fiscal revenue has broken through the highest ever. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Households, our grain this year is 580 million shi, which is 310 million more than last year. Shi, more than double that, and the salt tax is 200 million taels, which is 60 taels more than last year!"

"The commercial tax is 320 million taels, which is 140 million taels more than last year. The tariff is 260 million taels, which is 100 million taels more than last year. This year's total tax revenue is 580 million shi for grain and 780 million taels for silver. In detail, since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, this year's fiscal revenue has become the highest in the founding of the country, and this year's tax revenue, our Great Qin treasury has 430 million shi grains, 6000 million taels of silver, and 55 taels of gold!"

"The third thing is about the new population and the reduction of the population in Daqin. In the 11 years of Shengqin, there were 12 new women and 11 newborns in Daqin, which is twice the number of last year. This is still Shangyang County. , if it exerts force, the newborn will have to turn upside down, life will die, Shengqin 330 years of birth, old age, sickness and death reached 15, and the total population of [-] reached [-] million, [-] more than last year!"

"The fourth thing is about the growth of fertile land in various parts of Daqin. In the 11th year of Shengqin, the growth of fertile land has shown an increase. Although the national policy has not yet been implemented in Hebei County, Hedong County, Nanyang County, and Huainan County, the four counties are also in a year. Among them, a total of 12 mu of fertile land has been added. Due to the population has not yet recovered, nearly 12 mu of fertile farmland have been abandoned in Shangyang County. Hexi County has increased by 560 mu of fertile land, reaching a new high. The total fertile land in the seven counties reaches [-] million mu!"

Jarrow obviously put in a lot of effort. He memorized everything he was about to report. He spoke fluently and without pause, and articulated clearly, so that others could remember it once he said it.

After hearing Jia Luo's words, Ying Chang, Chang Zifei, and Yang Ze all showed smiles that could not be concealed on their faces. The smiles were mixed with pride and pride, because it only took them a few years to make Da Qin completely new. , Let the Great Qin Empire become the most prosperous era since the founding of the Great Qin Empire in a short period of time!

This is worthy of their pride and pride, and it is also worthy of the pride of Daqin's subjects. This is the pride of Daqin!

"The national treasury is abundant, there are no internal troubles, no external troubles, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. This is a scene of prosperity that has never been seen since the founding of the Great Qin Empire. This is worthy of your pride and pride, haha!" Ying Chang had a strong smile on his face. , filled with a sense of accomplishment.

"That's right, the annual fiscal revenue has reached more than 500 million shi grains and more than 700 million taels of silver. This is something that was unimaginable before!" Jarrow smiled brightly, like a child who got a toy.

The treasury is abundant, so the pressure on him as the minister of the household department is not very great.

"It hasn't risen yet, and it can break through this year!"

"Yes, it will definitely continue to rise!"

Yang Ze and Chang Zifei said confidently.

Ying Chang nodded with a smile, and believed that it would continue to rise, "This is something to be happy about, but you should not be complacent. I still have a long way to go in Daqin, and I have just started!" So complacent, satisfied with the things in front of me, and lose the ambition in my heart.

Chang Zifei, Yang Ze, and Jia Luo nodded in agreement. Indeed, if you are happy, you are happy, but you cannot be complacent, otherwise Daqin will stop moving forward.

"Your Majesty, after Jia Shangshu finished speaking, it's my turn to speak!" Chang Zifei bowed down respectfully and asked.

Ying Chang nodded, indicating that Chang Zifei could speak.

"There are not many things that I want to play, there are only two things. The first thing is this year's budget. After the minister and various ministries have jointly calculated, the Great Wall Day Camp, Wujin Day Camp, Yangguan Day Camp, Jingshi Day Camp, Nanguan Day Camp Day Camp, Xiguan Day Camp, and Heavy Cavalry Camp, the seven camps include military pay, meat and vegetables, with a budget of 500 million taels of silver, and a budget of 400 million shi for food and grass!"

"Officials' salaries are budgeted at 100 million taels of silver, the Ministry of Industry's road project budget is 60 shi of grain, and the Ministry of Ordnance's budget is 800 million taels of silver. The total budget reaches 400 million taels of silver and 460 million shi of grain!"

"The Great Qin court once again had a financial deficit. Excluding the budget consumption of money and food, there are still 970 million shi grains left in the treasury, 600 million taels of silver, and 50 taels of gold. Even with the fiscal deficit, the Daqin treasury is still full!"

With a budget of 400 million taels of silver and 460 million shi of grain, Jarrow couldn't help but sigh inwardly, this money is really worthless!

But Yang Ze and Ying Chang didn't feel distressed about this budget, because the money was spent wisely, not extravagant and wasted, and it was spent where it should be spent, so there is no need to feel distressed.

"What about the other thing?" Ying Chang asked calmly.

Chang Zifei did not take the lead in answering, but cast a glance at Jia Luo and Yang Ze who were beside him. Jia Luo and Yang Ze noticed Chang Zifei's strange behavior, they were at a loss, and at the same time understood that the Prime Minister and His Majesty had something to hide from them. , which means to let yourself back away.

Just when the two were about to retreat by themselves, Ying Chang stretched out his hand to stop it expressionlessly: "It's okay, I believe that the two lovers will not talk too much!" After finishing speaking, Ying Chang waved his palm lightly. He retreated with Xiaowei and several court ladies, and closed the door of the imperial study at the same time.

When only Ying Chang, Chang Zifei, Jia Luo, and Yang Ze were left in the imperial study room, Ying Chang looked up at Chang Zifei and said, "Let's talk!"

Yang Ze and Jia Luo also looked at Chang Zifei with curious eyes, thinking about what Chang Zifei and His Majesty were hiding from them.

Chang Zifei bent down to salute to show his understanding, and then looked at Ying Chang expressionlessly and said, "Your Majesty, the humble officials supported by the minister have already taken charge of the four counties of the Great Qin Dynasty, and the aristocratic families from all over the country are in the stage of being suppressed. The four counties have implemented the national policy!"

That's it!
