The Jagged Empire of Daqin

"I entitle you to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials of the second rank, and I hope that Li Aiqing can be employed!" Ying Chang said with a smile on his face.

After the words fell, four more court ladies came out from the side hall, and put two sets of brand-new Golden Pheasant Buzi winter and summer court clothes, as well as gold seals and red ribbons on Li Ke's seat, which aroused the envy of many ministers, and Li Ke's eyes also I couldn't help getting wet, and I was even more grateful to Chang Zifei.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En! Thank you Chang Xiang for the recommendation!" Xing calmly saluted Ying Chang and thanked Chang Zifei.

"Sit down!" Ying Chang said with a smile.

After Li Ke took his seat, Ying Chang looked at Jia Luo, Shangshu of the Household Department, and asked calmly, "Is there any vacancy in the Household Department?"

Upon hearing this, all the ministers knew that His Majesty wanted to let the three Zhang brothers become officials.

What a balancing act!

Jia Luo hurriedly got up from his seat, bent down respectfully and replied, "Return to Your Majesty, there are still two positions in charge of the household department!"

The principal is a sixth-rank official title, and his responsibility is to be responsible for the taxation, territory, fields, household registration, and official salaries of a county, compared to the God of Wealth of a county.

Above the principal is Yuan Wai Lang, and Yuan Wai Lang is from the fifth-rank official rank. Above Yuan Wai Lang is the fifth-rank doctor. In charge, there are only three doctors in the current household department, and one doctor is in charge of the three doctors.

Above the doctor is the servant of the third rank or so!

It can be said that the principal is the official position with the lowest rank in the household department. Yes, the lowest official in the household department is the official sixth-rank official, and further down, there are some low-level officials who do miscellaneous work.

Hearing Jia Luo's words, many ministers looked at Chang Qing subconsciously. Chang Qing noticed the strange look in his eyes and immediately stared back. Those ministers who were frightened quickly withdrew their eyes. Why?Because these two principals were dropped by Chang Qing, two positions were vacated.

There is no king in the mountains, and some young people think that they can be lawless.

What Chang Qing hates the most is to persecute the officials of another party because of party disputes, so no matter which party officials are corrupt and violate the law, they will resolutely crack down on them, and will never let them go just because this official belongs to Dad.

"Zhang Gui, Zhang Ling, you two brothers will go to the Ministry of Households to report tomorrow and be the head of the sixth grade!" Ying Chang ordered decisively.

Even if there is factionalism, then as the emperor, there must be checks and balances, and Chang Zifei's family cannot be allowed to dominate. Of course, it is not all for checks and balances, but also for school checks. Do these two brothers have the material to be an official?

Brothers Zhang Gui and Zhang Ling heard the words, their faces could not be concealed with excitement, they quickly stood up from their seats, bent over and saluted with a more excited expression: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Chapter 411 The reception banquet is also a court meeting!

Although the principal is only a small official, for the two of them who have the dream of becoming an official, the principal of the sixth grade is already very satisfied.

Zhang Feizi, who was sitting at the top of the official seat, smiled gratifiedly. The dream of the two sons has finally come true, and how far they can go next depends on themselves.

As for the eldest son Zhang Huaimeng, he is not worried at all, and he can guess that Ying Chang will not let Zhang Huaimeng stay in Xianyang, but will let him be a county guard, because after the Great Qin conquered the Northwest Desert, it will definitely divide a large number of counties , and Daqin lacks sheriffs with governance experience, so it is likely that Zhang Huaimeng will be the sheriff of one of the many counties in the Northwest Desert!

"Father, I'm hungry!"

At this time, a childish and ethereal voice sounded, and Ying Bei, who was sitting next to Tang Hua under the high platform, pouted with an unhappy expression.

"Okay, serve the food, serve the food!" Ying Chang smiled awkwardly and hurriedly ordered the food to be served.

"Hahaha!"

All the officials laughed loudly, and were all amused by Ying Bei's appearance.

Dozens of palace maids walked into Fengtian Hall with wooden trays, and there were steaming delicacies on the wooden trays. After the maids placed the delicious delicacies on the seats, Ying Chang raised his hand to pick up the jug and poured it into the wine glass. After a while, Minister Wu followed suit.

Ying Chang stood up from the dragon chair holding the wine glass in both hands. Minister Wu also quickly raised the wine glass and stood up. Ying Chang drank with a solemn expression: "This glass of wine has been sacrificed for two years. It is for the Northern Expedition and the Western Expedition. Blood is spilled." Heroic spirits of soldiers who have entered the ground!"

"Dry!"

"Dry!"

Ying often drank it with his officials, and paid great respect to the fallen soldiers!

After drinking a glass, Ying Chang poured another glass, raised his glass to Zhao Hua and said, "This glass of wine should be respected to General Zhao Lie!"

"Respect General Zhaolie!" Minister Wu yelled at Zhao Huaqi, and then the monarch and his subjects drank another gulp.

Zhao Hua was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes, and he wanted to cry a lot.

It seemed like an ordinary toast, but Zhao Hua was very moved and honored!

Yingchang refilled his cup again, raised his cup to Galuyue and Alona Shunsheng and shouted: "In the battle of the Western Expedition, the warriors of the Ningta Legion shed their blood and fought the enemy bravely, winning the most critical battle to conquer the Western Desert. General Ningta and Commander Sheng have contributed a lot, come on, all my lovers and I will toast them together!"

"General Jing Ningta! Commander Jing Sheng!" Minister Wu shouted to Ga Luyue and Alona Shunsheng solemnly, and did not discriminate against them because they were Huns.

Ga Luyue and Alona Shunsheng stood up excitedly and raised their glasses in return.

At first they worried that they would not be able to integrate into the Daqin bureaucracy and be isolated, but now it seems that integration should not be a problem.

"This glass of wine, to General Hu Lie!" Ying Chang raised his glass again, and all the military officials also raised their glasses and said, "To General Hu Lie!"

Yang Hu raised his glass in return with a smile on his face, and the monarch and his subjects drank it all in one gulp!

After paying respects to those who deserved respect, Ying Chang also sat back on the dragon chair, and all the officials took their seats one after another. Not long after, Chang Zifei looked around with a blushing face, and said with a smile: "Everyone, Your Majesty has fought two battles for the Great Qin." It has been a long time, and he has pacified the troubles in the Northwest. He is an emperor like no one in the ages. Today, all my officials are here to offer three cups to His Majesty!"

"Yes, three cups to Your Majesty!"

"Ha ha!"

Wu Baiguan toasted Ying Chang one after another, and Ying Chang raised his glass in response with a smile. He only drank one glass, while Wu Baiguan drank three glasses in a row. After drinking the wine toast the emperor, the toasting process was over.

"My dear friends, eat vegetables, eat vegetables!"

“Delicious, really delicious!”

"That's right, the royal chef in the palace is not comparable to your servants!"

"What you said, is it comparable?"

"It's a blessing to have a taste of the delicious food in the palace, haha!"

"Uncle Wang, I want to eat this!"

"it is good!"

"I want this chicken leg!"

"His Royal Highness, wait a moment, I will take it for Your Highness!"

Baiguan began to eat and drink lively, Fengtian Hall was full of joy, and the active Yingbei also became the joy of Baiguan. He kept begging for the food on the minister's table, and his mouth was full of oil. Hua wanted to control it at first, but he couldn't control it at all. Seeing that Ying Chang was indifferent, Tang Hua didn't care, and let Ying Bei toss back and forth in the hall.

"Qin Jiu is really good!"

"Yeah, it's so cool. Compared with our goat's milk wine, it's a world away!"

Ga Luyue and Alona Shunsheng immediately fell in love with the strong wine of the Qin Empire. When they thought of the goat's milk wine they drank before, it was like drinking urine. It was not at the same level at all. They wanted to ask for more when they left Xianyang City Spirits, otherwise life would be difficult.

"Master Zhang please!"

"Always please!"

"Zhang Xiang, how does it feel to come to the Qin Empire?"

"Wonderful, wonderful beyond words, haha!"

Chang Zifei and Zhang Feizi chatted tacitly, and the rest of the officials also chatted with their colleagues. The three brothers of the Zhang family integrated very quickly, but they integrated into the military, and they soon got involved with Zhao Hua The generals are one piece.

This made many ministers vigilant.

After about a while, Ying Chang raised his hand and pressed down, signaling all the officials to be quiet. Seeing this, all the officials calmed down one after another, and looked at Ying Chang on the high platform with all eyes, only to see Ying Chang's calm expression Opened the mouth and said: "My dear friends, stop first, I will say a few things first!"

Tonight's banquet is not only a reception banquet, but also a court meeting!

"Your servant is waiting to listen!" Minister Wu Qiqi raised his hands in response.

Ying Chang glanced around at the officials in the main hall, and then said in a neutral tone: "My dear friends, the Great Qin has conquered the Northwest Desert, and the next step is to rectify it and increase the heritage of the Great Qin Empire. Now there are more than 300 million grassland people in the Northern Desert. !"

"I plan to set up sixteen counties in the Northwest Desert, with seven counties in one county and 3 people in one county. First, we will set up an administrative area. After sending officials to take up their posts and setting up government offices, after the government offices are established, all the local government offices will transfer all local cattle and sheep. Concentrate the horses and print the seal of the government to show that these cattle, sheep and horses belong to the government!"

"Print the seal, and the government will hand over the cattle, sheep and horses to the grassland slaves, and let them be responsible for grazing. If a merchant buys it, the government will be the party to the transaction. After the government receives the money, it will be kept first, and it will be turned over to the state treasury at the end of the year. tax!"

"The prairie people who have restored their status as civilians have sold cattle, sheep and horses, and they need to hand over [-]% of the transaction amount to the government as a business tax, which is collected by the local government. Remember, you must not bully the grassland people, no matter whether he is a slave or a commoner, you must not bully. Otherwise, you will be charged with oppressing the people!"

"The Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials are responsible for this matter together. The Ministry of Accounts is responsible for fabricating household registrations and liquidating cattle, sheep and horses from various places. The Ministry of Officials is responsible for dispatching officials. By the way, Zhang Huaimeng was a county guard before, so let him go to one of the counties in the Northwest Desert to serve as a county." Keep it!"

Chapter 412 It is about the national policy of unifying the world!

After the words fell, all the officials fell silent, digesting the words.

After a while, Li Ke, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Jia Luo, Minister of the Household Department, just stood up from their seats, bowed down respectfully and solemnly, and responded: "I respectfully obey Your Majesty's will!"

Some people are busy now, and the division of sixteen counties at once is a heavy task for the household department and the official department.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!" Zhang Huaimeng bowed down to express his thanks with a respectful expression.

For this result, he was not surprised at all, everything was expected.

Ying Chang drank a glass of strong wine, moistened his throat, and then said to Baiguan: "After the Northwest Desert was pacified, Xiguan became the Inner Pass, and the Great Wall became the Inner Great Wall. Due to the emergency, I have re-made Troop deployment plan, but the Ministry of War doesn't know yet, Yang Aiqing, listen carefully!"

"As ordered!"

Yang Ze's expression became solemn, and he was ready to answer the call.

"A hundred miles west of Tankou Pass in the Qi Empire, I have set up a large camp at Tankou, garrisoned by [-] iron cavalry from the Yang family army. The Tower Corps was stationed. A hundred miles north of the Jinbei Great Wall of the Jin Empire, the Jinbei Camp was set up, which was stationed by the [-] Grassland Army. The legion is stationed, and a hundred miles north of the Great Yan Empire's North Great Wall, set up the Yanbei Camp, stationed by fifty thousand grassland legions!"

"Western Desert has two battalions with a total strength of 15 troops, North Desert has three battalions with a total strength of 23 troops, and Northwest Desert has a total strength of [-] troops. By the way, the [-]-strong Grassland Army of the North Shanxi Battalion has not yet been equipped with chain mail. And the strong bow, the Ministry of War needs to deliver a new chain mail and strong bow. If the stock in the warehouse is not enough, the ordnance department will build it. In addition to the need for new equipment for the Jinbei camp, the Yanshui camp and the [-] Ningta Army also need to replace the new chain mail. , the strong bow does not need to be replaced, and the entire five battalions in the Northwest Desert need to replenish arrows!"

"There are only [-] infantry left in Xiguan. In addition to the [-] cavalry stationed in the camp at Tankou, another [-] infantry have been transferred to Nanguan. Although the Great Wall has also become the inner Great Wall, there is no need to withdraw troops for the time being. Save it for now, and make plans later!"

The deployment of troops that Ying Chang is talking about is what was written on the white paper this afternoon.

Yang Ze frowned slightly, his expression became solemn, and he immediately raised his hand and asked: "Your Majesty, will the increase of troops to Nanguan make the Qi Empire suspicious?"

Ying Chang shook his head, smiled lightly, and said, "It's okay, I've already sent someone to inform and say hello!"

"That's good!" A small stone fell from Yang Ze's heart, and after saluting, he sat back on the seat.

Well, what a fart!

Jia Luo wanted to cry. According to the calculations just now, the total strength of the Great Qin Empire reached 50, and the army of 50 was quite expensive!

"The next thing is to send [-] prisoners of the Jin army. What's your opinion on this?" Ying Chang looked around the officials with sharp eyes.

"Send the Jin army prisoners all at once?"

"This...."

"It seems that His Majesty does not intend to destroy Jin within the next two years!"

"Yes!"

Baiguan didn't make much of a fuss about this, but guessed that Ying Chang didn't intend to send troops to destroy Jin in a short time, otherwise, he would not have sent the Jin army prisoners at once. After all, sending one more, the Jin Empire would have one more soldier .

Now that the Ministry of Industry has stopped all projects, His Majesty will not send troops to destroy Jin in a short time, so it is not impossible to send the Jin army prisoners all at once!

"Your Majesty, deportation is fine, but the Jin Empire must pay the price!"

"That's right, a Jin army prisoner is 100 taels, and 800 is [-] million taels. If one tael is less, we won't release them. It's a shame!"

"800 taels is a bit small, let's round it up, 1000 million taels!"

"Well, 1000 million taels is fine!"

All the officials and Ying Chang disagreed with each other, and they were all ready to kill the Jin Empire!

"Let's leave this matter to the Ministry of Rites. Send someone to the Jin Empire and ask the Emperor Jin to pay 1000 million taels of silver to redeem [-] prisoners of the Jin army at one time. By the way, tell the Emperor Jin at the same time that if he is willing to redeem , Daqin will give them the eldest princess and Taifu, if they are not willing to redeem them, hehe, then let these [-] Jin army prisoners become Qin people, and there is no need to go back!" Ying Chang sneered.

The Jin Empire had no choice, he had to pay 1000 million taels, otherwise, the [-] Jin army prisoners would not want it.

"Hahaha!"

Minister Wu couldn't help laughing. They all regarded the Jin Empire as a fat pig. As for sending Min Qing and Qiu Yixiao back, they chose to ignore them. It's just that Ying Chang kept them.

Now it's not bad to let these two worthless people exchange some money.

"Minister obeys the decree!" Kong, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, replied with a more dignified expression, and then slowly sat back on the seat.

The Ministry of Rites is really busy. Originally, there were canonization ceremonies, wedding ceremonies, and celebration banquets that needed to be prepared. Now they have to send people to the Jin Empire to discuss this matter. It's squeezed together.

This is the case with the Ministry of Rites. When you are busy, you are too busy to die, and when you are free, you are too idle to die.

"Jiang Aiqing!" Ying Chang looked at Jiang Haiyou, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Jiang Haiyou heard the call, and quickly stood up from his seat, and responded respectfully, "The minister is here!"

"There is only one thing for the Ministry of Industry to do next, and that is the Guangfeng County Water Conservancy Project. You should go back and calculate the budget for this project. After you have calculated it, submit it to Minister Chang!" Ying Chang said calmly.

"I would like to obey His Majesty's will!" Jiang Haiyou replied respectfully.

Ying Chang pressed his hand and signaled Jiang Haiyou to take a seat. Jiang Haiyou nodded in response and slowly took his seat.

Ying Chang was silent for a while, and then said: "I have already said about the general things. Next, I want to talk about a major event, a major national policy, which is related to whether our Great Qin can rule the world!"

Dominate the world!

Minister Wu was shocked and stood upright!
