The Jagged Empire of Daqin

.....

"It's not good, general, Huai City fell, and the Qin army almost broke into the Wuyang Imperial Capital. The imperial court paid Daqin [-] million taels of silver, and even signed a letter of credence under the city!"

"Are you kidding, how could the Qin army break through Huai City!"

"Who the hell spread the battle report to confuse the army? I thought that my ancestor Yan occupied Huaicheng in the past, resisted hundreds of thousands of Liang troops for several years and never lost it, and the Qin army who entered the pass was only [-] people, and only [-] people attacked Huaicheng. There is only one reason why such a low force can capture Huai City, and that is Generalissimo Yan He betraying the country and seeking glory!"

"Report to General, Marshal Marshal was executed by Emperor Qin!"

"what!"

"How is it possible, what is going on!"

"General, I heard that there is a guy named Bai Qi in the Qin Army, who is the King of Wu in the Great Qin Empire, and the first king with a different surname in the Great Qin Empire. It is thanks to him that the current Emperor of Qin is enthroned. Bai Qi, the King of Qin Wu, is a very special person." , like a god, within a few blinks of an eye, Huai City fell, and the Generalissimo was captured alive by him, and the Qin army broke through Huai City without a single soldier, and captured a hundred thousand troops!"

"Are you sure you didn't brag about Qin Wu Wang Baiqi?"

"The last general also listened to what others said!"

"My God, there are so many people like this in the world, what a disaster for me!"

"General, there is one more thing you may not know. The rebellious general of the Ningta camp sent [-] cavalry to aid Huai City. Before reaching Huai City, he was defeated by [-] Xiongnu cavalry and lost [-]. Only a few thousand Huns died!"

"Oh my God, what kind of powerful existence did my Dayan provoke!"

......

The 400 million Yan people were shocked, and the border generals were dumbfounded!

In the northwestern countries, the Yan people are the most miserable, so the Yan people are not angry that the Qin army broke Huaicheng and killed Emperor Wuyang. What makes Yan people angry is that the imperial court has so much money, and they don’t even use it to show compassion for their poor people. people!

For a while, the imperial court was scolded by the people of Yan. Under the butterfly effect, the policies of the people of Qin were also known to the people of Yan. When they learned that the people of Qin could open up wasteland and enjoy their fields, all envious eyes lit up. With comparison, there is a The difference is that Qin Yan treats the common people differently.

Under the great disparity in treatment, people from all over the Great Yan Empire were yelling at the imperial court, and even inspired many passionate men to go to the mountains to become bandits, robbing the rich and helping the poor. Of course, this is a minority, oh yes, Ying Chang let go Most of the prisoners of the Wanyan Army became bandits everywhere. For a while, the soldiers and bandits of the Dayan Empire were rampant!

At first, the generals of the border gates did not believe the news that the Qin army had broken into Huai City and almost entered the capital of Wuyang.

As soon as this incident was confirmed, the major border generals were so shocked that their jaws almost fell from shock. After the shock, they became angry. The imperial capital was besieged, and they signed the letter of credence that mourned the country and humiliated power. , I'm even more sorry for the black swallow flag!

Chapter 487 I miss the grassroots too!

But at the same time they were angry, they had a little fear of the Qin army, and the names of Bai Qi and Xuanjia army were deeply embedded in the minds of every general of the Yan army!

After Yingchang and Alukgo joined forces, the total strength reached 400, and the spoils reached [-] million taels of silver. The day after the meeting, the [-] Xuanjia Army and the [-] Grassland Army left Huaicheng.

With the passage of time, the cavalry of the Prairie Legion that swept across the country joined forces with Ying Chang one after another. Every step of the Prairie Legion joined forces, carrying a large amount of real gold and silver, which made the spoils more and more rich. At that time, the spoils of war had reached 800 million taels!

Sixty-seventy-eight million taels is definitely an astronomical figure. Compared with the Daqi Empire, which has the best economy in Kyushu, and the 800-year fiscal revenue of the Daqi Empire, the Daqin Empire can do whatever it wants with this amount of money. do!

The price Qin Jun paid for this was only [-] cavalry from the Prairie Legion. Yes, since Qin Yan started the war, the casualties of the Qin Army were only [-] cavalry from the Prairie Legion. In fact, the Yan Army did not lose much. The loss was only about [-] yuan, and the most lost was money. The three counties of Huaibei, Jinchang, and Changfu in the Dayan Empire were looted, and the treasury was also emptied.

For the Great Qin Empire, this battle was undoubtedly a complete victory!

After the army withdrew from Yanjing from the Great Wall in Northwest Yan, Yingchang ordered the Grassland Army to return to the Northwest Camp to rest, and also asked Alukege to recruit troops to replenish the troops, try their best to restore the troops to the previous level, and at the same time used 800 horses to be responsible for pulling Ship [-] million taels of silver.

On March 15th, the [-]th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, at noon, the Great Qin Empire, Shangyang County, Xianyang City, and Beicheng Gate!

The North City Gate is overcrowded, and at a glance, there are all human heads. Tens of thousands of people in Xianyang City have gathered here. It is at noon, and the sun is scorching. Every citizen is sweating profusely, and sweat drips from the cheeks slide.

"woohoo"

"Wow!"

"Don't cry, don't cry, mother is here, it will be fine soon, it will be fine soon!"

"Damn the child, go back with the child first, as long as we welcome His Majesty!"

"Yes, yes, the child is uncomfortable like this!"

"No, no, no, this little bit of suffering is nothing. His Majesty and his soldiers are on the battlefield, defending their home and country. It is more difficult than this. If this bit of suffering is unbearable, how can we protect our country and our country for Daqin and His Majesty in the future? !"

"That's what I said, but children, their bodies are not as good as those of us adults."

"Master Tiger, what you said is not bad, but children just have to go through a little bit of suffering. If they don't suffer, how can they know other people's suffering? It's okay to be so hot. Look, many children's mothers have brought their children here!"

Under the scorching sun, many children cried loudly from the heat. Many people advised their mothers to take them away, but they were all rejected by their mothers. This is a very strange phenomenon. As the Great Qin Empire became stronger and stronger Sheng, the people's life is getting better and better, and the people's ideological consciousness is getting higher and higher.

Now most of the people raise their children as soldiers. Those who have some conditions in their families will buy some wooden guns, wooden swords and knives for their children to play with. If they have some conditions, they will ask martial arts masters to teach their children martial arts.

Now the most popular occupations in the Great Qin Empire are craftsmen who sell wooden weapons, and martial artists.

At the forefront of the crowd, stood a large number of officials dressed in black court uniforms. Whether they were officials or ordinary people, they all looked forward to their feet, eager to see through them. The military flag finally appeared in the eyes of the people!

"coming!"

"Haha, here we come!"

The crowd burst into cheers, countless people danced and danced, and many ministers stroked their beards and smiled knowingly, especially Jia Luo, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, burst into laughter, as happy as a child getting a toy.

Did he know that this time when the army returned triumphantly, it brought more than 6 million taels of silver, more than 6 million, it is simply impossible to figure out, with this money, Da Qin will not have to worry about money for at least five years.

When Ying Chang and Bai Qi were five hundred steps away from the North City Gate, all officials of the imperial court and tens of thousands of people knelt down on the ground, shouting respectfully and excitedly: "Your Majesty, I wait for you to welcome your majesty's triumphant return!" , Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Pingshen!" Ying Chang shouted loudly with a smile all over his face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All the court officials and tens of thousands of people thanked in unison, and then quickly got up from the ground, looking at Ying Chang Baiqi and the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army with admiring eyes. A neat array, because they are all driving the silver horses.

Seeing that the eyes of the people were all focused on him, many officers and soldiers of the Xuanjia Army subconsciously straightened their backs, awe-inspiring, and presented their best and most majestic side to the eyes of the people.

Ying Chang turned his head to look at Bai Qi, and said with a hint of worry in his tone, "Ah Qi, take the Xuanjia Army back to the camp first, and go back to recuperate!"

Bai Qiqiu nodded, turned around, faced the three thousand soldiers of the Xuanjia Army, and shouted in a solemn voice, "Follow me to the camp!"

"Obey!" The three thousand Xuanjia soldiers raised their hands and shouted in unison!

Not long after, Bai Qi returned to the camp with the Xuanjia army, and the 800 million taels of silver were also brought into the capital camp by the Xuanjia army. When he saw a cart full of wooden boxes, Jia Luo His face turned red with excitement, and he wished he could grab it and rush into the treasury immediately.

At the same time that the Xuanjia army returned to the camp, Ying Chang rode his Yunxiao mount and rushed straight towards the crowd. When he was ten steps away from the crowd, he tightened his reins, jumped off his horse, and walked towards Baiguan with a smile on his face. Go, all the officials bowed down to compose to show their respect!

Ying Chang approached the Baiguan, but he made the people standing behind the Baiguan happy, because the distance was too close, only ten steps away, and it was hard work in this life to see Longyan from such a distance. Many people in the front row Breathing in a hurry with excitement, his face was flushed, and he almost fainted from excitement.

This is the charm of the emperor!

Ying Chang walked up to Chang Zifei, reached out and patted Chang Zifei's shoulder lightly, looked around all the officials with a smile on his face and said with a smile, "Loves, long time no see!"

"Your Majesty has been on the expedition for half a year, and I miss you very much!" Chang Zifei replied with a smile on his face.

"I miss you so much!!" All the officials replied in unison with smiles on their faces.

"The grass people miss you too!"

I don't know which bold guy in the crowd dared to shout in front of Baiguan and Yingchang.

PS: "Everyone, please have pity on me. Can you give me a recommendation ticket? Can you give me a monthly ticket? Can you order one for all? Can you give me a reward? Not too many, just think about it!"

Chapter 488 Temporary court meeting!

If calculated according to etiquette, this already belongs to the category of clashing with Longyan.

"Haha, I miss you too!" Ying Chang laughed loudly, showing gentleness, without any airs of the emperor, like a wanderer who hasn't come home for a long time.

Seeing Yingchang being so kind and gentle, the people couldn't help feeling warm and felt great happiness. As a Qin person, Daqin has such an emperor who loves the people like a son, which is truly a blessing for millions of Qin people!

"Hey, why is there a carriage?"

"Yes!"

At this time, the eyes of the common people were attracted by a carriage. This carriage was originally surrounded by soldiers of the Xuanjia Army. The officer's eyes were all on the carriage.

It was Zhao Mu and Tian Yue who were sitting in this carriage, and the servants of the Zhao Mansion who were driving the carriage were watched by thousands of people in an instant. The servants of the Zhao Mansion who were driving the carriage were sweating nervously. Zhao Mutianyue couldn't help becoming nervous when he heard the people's discussions.

"Your Majesty, the weather is hot, let's talk about it when we go back to the palace!" Zhang Feizi said with a smile.

"Well, good!" Ying Chang smiled lightly.

Next, Ying Chang walked into Xianyang City with Baiguan. Zhang Feizi personally led the horse for Ying Chang, and Zhao Mutianyue's carriage followed closely behind. They followed wherever they went, until Ying Chang and the officials entered the palace, and the common people dispersed unsatisfactorily, making the monarch and his party dumbfounded.

The first thing Ying Chang did when he entered the palace was to arrange Zhao Mutianyue's residence, and then he took all the officials to the Qilin Hall to hold a temporary court meeting.

Qilin Hall!

Ying Chang in military uniform walked up to the high platform with strides, and all the officials stood where they should stand. Since the generals had already been transferred away, Bai Qi didn't come again, so the queue of military officers was empty.

After sitting on the jet-black carved dragon throne, Ying Chang took out a piece of golden silk from his bosom, showed it to the ministers, and said with a smile at the same time: "Half a year of fighting against Yan finally came to fruition. Although this battle did not reach Wuyang The imperial capital, but also let the Yan Empire sign a tribute certificate with Daqin, from next year, the Yan Empire will pay 1000 million taels of silver to Daqin every year, Chang Aiqing, take it and show it to the aiqings!"

"My God!"

"The Yan Empire wants to pay tribute to us. This is the first time since the founding of the Great Qin Empire!"

"That's right, no country has ever paid tribute to Great Qin before. It's uncomfortable to say that when Great Qin was founded, it paid tribute to the Jin Empire!"

"This is called Feng Shui turns!"

"1000 million taels of silver, haha, this is not a small amount of money. In the future, my Daqin's financial pressure will be greatly reduced!"

"Yeah yeah!"

All the ministers were overjoyed, and the entire Qilin Hall was full of joyful smiles. Chang Zifei also walked up to the high platform and took down the credential from Ying Chang's hand. Chang Zifei didn't look at it immediately after getting the credential, but Go down the high platform first, and stand back to watch.

Zhang Feizi standing next to Chang Zifei, and Yang Zejialuo behind him immediately moved to Chang Zifei's side to appreciate the credential. This credential can already be described as a work of art. This does not mean that it is beautiful, but It is of great value, and this symbolizes the first time that an empire has paid tribute to the Great Qin Empire!

A very good start!

"Yeah!"

"Hahaha, I am so strong, Daqin, I am so strong, Daqin!"

The credential was passed to each minister one by one, so that each minister carefully read the content of the credential, no surprise, every time the credential was passed to a minister, that minister was like holding a peerless treasure.

After all the officials had read it, the last minister walked out of the official queue holding the letter of credence in both hands, stepped onto the high platform, put the letter of credence back on the imperial case, and then bowed down to salute and retreated from the high platform, standing back to his seat .

Chang Zifei took a small step forward, bending over with a smile on his face, and reported: "Your Majesty, this letter of credence is not only the agreement, but also the glory of our Great Qin Dynasty, and the merit of our Great Qin Dynasty. I believe that, It is necessary to find someone to keep it safe, let it be handed down for thousands of generations, and be admired by future generations for the achievements of the Great Qin Dynasty, so that future generations will always remember His Majesty's unrivaled achievements!"

Jiang Haiyou, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, heard these words, his eyes lit up immediately, and he immediately stood out of the queue, bending over with a smile on his face to make a report: "His Majesty, I have seconded Prime Minister Zuo's intention, and at the same time, I propose that In the southern suburbs outside Xianyang City, the Hall of Merit and Virtue was built. After the Hall of Merit and Virtue was built, the State Book was stored in the Hall of Merit and Virtue, so that every citizen of Great Qin could pay homage to His Majesty’s merits, and any achievements in the future would be recorded and stored in the Hall of Merit and Deeds. temple!"

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

All the ministers stepped out of the queue one after another, and all of them seconded Jiang Haiyou and Chang Zifei's proposal, even Jia Luo, who was the payer, readily seconded it.

The ministers are not fools, they are all smart people. Building the Hall of Merit and Virtue will not only allow Yingchang’s achievements to be passed on for generations to come, but also those who are courtiers will be honored, because when people in future generations think of Yingchang, they will think of them. .

That's how it sticks.

Ying Chang nodded with a smile, "Okay, then do as you love Qing, and modify it a little bit, anyone who has made contributions to the great Qin Jiangshan community can enter the Hall of Merit and Deeds and receive incense. Post the portrait, as for other details, the Ministry of Industry will host it!"

All the ministers were overjoyed when they heard the words, and hurriedly bowed down and shouted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!"

If my portrait is hung in the Hall of Merit and Virtue, I will have no regrets in this life, the ministers thought to themselves.

"Don't thank me, I should thank you all, without the help of all my lovers, how would I be where I am today, and how could I fight with peace of mind!" Ying Chang said with a smile on his face.

The ministers were moved for a while, and there was a feeling that scholars would die for their confidants.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have something to announce!" Jia Luo, Minister of the Household Department, followed up with a salute.

"Quasi-playing!" Ying Chang replied softly.

"Returning to Your Majesty, as of the first day of the first month of the 15th year of Shengqin, the seven counties in the Daqin Pass had a new population of 14 in 37, with 28 births, old ages, illnesses and deaths. The population of the seven counties has reached 410 million, which is 13 more than that of Shengqin in 30!"

"The population of the seventeen counties outside the Daqin Pass reached 380 million. Presumably there were 13 more in Shengqin in 22 years. Among the 380 million population, 310 million were slaves, and 72 were civilians. The total population of the Daqin Pass and outside the pass reached [-]. Twenty thousand!"

Chapter 489 Budget!

"Of the 4109 million population of the seven counties in Guannei, 70 are in Hebei County, 73 in Hedong County, 68 in Huainan County, 61 in Nanyang County, 57 in Guangfeng County, 52 in Hexi County, and 38 in Shangyang County. 22, the average population of the 80 counties outside the customs is [-], and the combined labor force outside the customs reaches [-]!" Jia Luo reported the population situation inside and outside the Daqin Pass in one breath.

After Ying Chang listened carefully, he nodded in satisfaction, "Yes, the more the population, the stronger my background in Daqin, let's continue!"

population = labor force

"Obey!" Jia Luo bowed down respectfully and saluted in response, then straightened his back and spoke clearly: "Your Majesty, as of the first month of the 15th year of Sheng Qin, the total increase of 14 in the 58 years of Sheng Qin Mu of fertile land, compared with Shengqin in 13 years, has reduced by a full 22 mu!"

"Today, the total fertile land in the seven counties of Daqin has reached 770 million mu, including 110 million mu in Hebei County, 110 million mu in Hedong County, 110 million mu in Huainan County, 110 million mu in Nanyang County, 150 million mu in Guangfeng County, and 130 million mu in Hexi County. The county has 42 million mu, and Shangyang County has [-] mu!"

"In addition to Guangfeng County, which has entered a bottleneck period, Hexi County has also entered a bottleneck period. It only increased 12 mu of fertile land in a whole year, while Shangyang County has gradually recovered its fertile land after population recovery. This year, it has increased by [-] mu, ranking seventh. The county is the highest, which is also the reason for the water conservancy in Shangyang County!"

Ying Chang kept Jiang Haiyou silent for a while, and called out, "Where is the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry!"

Jiang Haiyou quickly stood out of the queue, bent down and saluted, and said, "The minister is here!"
