The Jagged Empire of Daqin

He also wanted to borrow King Wu, and he didn't even look at who King Wu was alone. He alone was comparable to an army of 20 or even 30. He alone could break through Huai City, the most fortified city of the Dayan Empire.

"Okay, don't cry, I promise to marry you!" Ying Chang said suddenly.

After the words fell, both Chang Qing and Wei Shuyi were taken aback for a moment, agreed?So fast?

He was still aggressive just now, why did he completely change his attitude the next moment? Did the emperor change his face so quickly?

"Your Majesty, you...you really agreed?" Chang Qing asked hesitantly, and couldn't believe that those words just came out of Ying Chang's mouth.

Ying Chang nodded, looked at Wei Shuyi with a smile on the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Yes, I agreed, but the marriage conditions have to be changed. First of all, Daqin will not give away 20 armored mouse crossbows, but will give 500 instead. Take the Yishu crossbow and borrow [-] million taels of silver from Prince Wei Palace, remember, it is a loan and you have to pay it back, and Bai Qi can't give it to you, so you are satisfied?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wei Shuyi, who was overjoyed from the sky, hurriedly knelt down to express her thanks, with a smile on her face.

The 20 B-rat crossbows are still a gift, and there is no need to spend additional money, and Daqin is willing to borrow 500 million taels of silver. If you are not satisfied with this, what else can you be satisfied with.

"Okay, you go back first, and tell your principal that Chang Aiqing will go down too!" Ying Chang resolutely asked him and the others to step down.

Soon, the two left the imperial study room, and only Ying Chang was left in the imperial study room. When the figures of Wei Shuyi and Chang Qing disappeared from Ying Chang's sight, the corners of Ying Chang's mouth curled up, revealing an evil smile.

He agreed to the marriage, which seemed straightforward and decisive, but in fact, he had thought about the pros and cons a thousand times in his heart, and after careful consideration, he finally decided to agree to the marriage, and the pros and cons were very simple.

PS: "Do you think it's boring after reading it? The author's writing also feels very boring, and there is no passion for code words. It seems that the author has paid close attention to the details and entered the bloody plot of attacking the Kyushu countries. For the current As for the plot, please bear with it first, in fact, it’s a bit cool to taste it carefully!”

Chapter 511 I only spoil you!

After Crown Prince Wei Gong got the support of Great Qin, his strength would definitely increase, which could bring a little threat to the Great Wei Empire. If Crown Prince Wei Gong was defeated in the end, Great Qin would only lose 500 million taels of silver and twenty Yirat crossbows. The loss is actually not considered a loss, because even if the Prince Wei Palace is defeated, it can at least hold the Wei Empire for more than a year, and if the two armies are at war, the Great Wei Empire will definitely suffer losses.

The Great Qin Empire is equivalent to buying time with money and weapons, and buying the lives of the soldiers of the Wei army. It is not a loss at all. Even if the Great Wei Empire seeks trouble afterwards, it cannot shake the Great Qin Empire. I really think that the elite kings of the Great Qin Empire are just for nothing , Wei is warlike, so Qin is not warlike?

Just a white move can scare a group of people on the opposite side to death.

If the crown prince Wei Gong is successfully recaptured, the benefit of the Great Qin Empire will be even greater. First of all, when two tigers fight, one will die and the other will be injured. .

Emperor Wei is the dead side, the overall casualties of the Great Wei Empire will be greater, the Great Wei Empire will become very weak, and due to internal fighting, the current Wei Emperor has destroyed the Great Wu Empire, and there will be an uprising to restore the Great Wu Empire. It made the already weak Wei Empire worse.

After Crown Prince Wei Gong regains the throne, he will first wipe out the remnants of the current Emperor Wei. This will take at least one or two years or even longer. After Crown Prince Wei Gong completely controls the entire Great Wei Empire, the nations of Kyushu will find that the Great Wei Empire has The sun is setting on the western mountains, and the Great Qin in the west is rising like a scorching sun, and the title of the overlord of Kyushu has changed hands!

Ying Chang is not bragging. In today's world, only the Great Wei can stop the Great Qin Empire. After the Great Wei is weak, no country in the world can resist the black torrent of the Great Qin Empire. At this time, the unification of Kyushu is just around the corner!

It is precisely because of this that Ying Chang agreed to the marriage!

It's all about the big picture!

After sitting in the imperial study for a while, Ying Chang left the imperial study. As soon as he left, the eunuch guarding the entrance of the imperial study turned off the lights in the imperial study.

After a stick of incense time!

Yingchang returned to Ganquan Palace and entered the dormitory of Ganquan Palace. As soon as he entered the dormitory, he saw Yang Xiao sitting on the couch in a daze. He didn't know if she was thinking about something or waiting for Yingchang. Yang Xiao was obviously not particularly engrossed. As soon as he heard footsteps, he quickly looked up.

When he saw that it was Ying Chang who came back, a smile appeared on his face, and then he walked towards Ying Chang, undressed Ying Chang, took off his hairpin crown, and after taking off his clothes, Ying Chang took Yang Xiao's hand and walked away When he got to the side of the Feng couch, he looked very preoccupied.

Yang Xiao sat down on the dragon couch, and seeing Ying Chang's appearance, he couldn't help asking in doubt, "What's wrong with you?"

"Ugh"

Ying Chang sighed softly, holding Yang Xiao's hand and refused to let go, and said with a guilty expression: "Just now, Chang Qing brought the nine princesses of the Wei Empire to see me..."

Ying Chang told Yang Xiao everything that happened in Yushufang, and also explained the reason for agreeing to the marriage.

After Yang Xiao heard these words, a wry smile appeared on his face, "It's okay, I don't blame you, you are for Daqin, I can understand!"

"It's good if I can understand. I'm afraid that you will be unhappy. If you are unhappy, I will be unhappy. Don't worry, no matter who I marry or how many women I have in the harem, I will spoil you alone!" Said very affectionately.

When Yang Xiao heard this sentence, a knowing smile appeared on his face, he gently nestled his head in Ying Chang's arms, and said softly: "In the future, you should also go to Sister Xianfei, and Sister Zhao Mutianyue , you have been staying here these days, never going to them, you brought them, you can't make them widows!"

Ying Chang was moved for a while, what more could a husband ask for after getting a wife like this!

"I will!" Ying Chang nodded solemnly.

That's right, they can't be left as widows.

After a period of time, Ying Chang and Yang Xiao fell asleep again, but Wei Tianlan and Qiao Rong of the Rites Club could not sleep, because Wei Shuyi agreed to marry Ying Chang and informed Wei Tianlan and Qiao Rong of the marriage conditions, and they were happy Can't sleep.

20 Yishu crossbows, if replaced with silver, it will be 200 million taels, plus 500 million taels of silver, now the Great Moon Empire will not have to worry about spending money for the time being, and the Crown Prince Wei Palace will be able to expand the army, sending 20 soldiers Horse expansion to [-]!

On the next day, Ying Chang summoned Jia Luo, Secretary of the Ministry of Households, Yang Ze, Minister of Military Affairs, and Zhang Feizi, Chang Zifei, the left and right prime ministers, to discuss the matter in the Imperial Study Room. Ying Chang informed the four ministers of what happened in the Imperial Study Room last night, and agreed to marry The reason was stated.

None of the four ministers objected, and they all agreed to the marriage. After the four ministers agreed to the marriage, Yingchang ordered the Ministry of Households to transfer a silver note of 500 million taels of silver, and secretly handed it over to the Moon Empire Mission. Leaving Qin from Xiguan, bypassing the Qi Empire and returning to the Moon Empire.

Qiao Rong, the envoy of the Moon Empire, felt a little dreamy after receiving the 500 million taels of silver. Is this the only way to give 500 million taels of silver?How rich is the Great Qin Empire? While feeling dreamy, Qiao Rong also left Xianyang with the Moon Empire delegation, and returned to the Moon Empire from Xiguan according to the instructions given by Ying Chang.

Of course, Wei Shuyi was not included in the Moon Empire Mission this month. She is now a concubine of the Great Qin Empire and no longer a member of the Moon Empire Mission. Naturally, she could not return to the Great Moon Empire with the mission. I don't know when I will be able to see her imperial brother.

The 500 million silver has already been given, and only 20 Yirat crossbows are short. The crossbow division of the Ordnance Department is not so fast, so it is agreed to deliver it in two years. Wei Shuyi has no objection to this, because Prince Wei Gong will wait until the Yue Empire is destroyed before acting. , Within two years, the Yue Empire will not perish, so it takes two years to wait.

After dealing with the marriage, Ying Chang did not publicize it with much fanfare, and even the other ministers did not tell. The only insiders were Yang Ze, Jia Luo, Zhang Feizi, Chang Zifei, Chang Qing, and Yang Xiao, and Wei Shuyi also joined Ying Chang. Chang harem, was conferred the title of a fourth-rank concubine by Yang Xiao, the lord of the harem!

The fourth-rank concubine is neither high nor low, and even a little bit high, because in order to conceal Wei Shuyi's identity, Wei Shuyi's identity is only a child of a family, not a minister's child, so she should be granted the title of sixth-rank concubine like Zhao Mutianyue.

But Yang Xiao considered that Wei Shuyi was the Ninth Princess of the Great Wei Empire after all, so he raised it by two levels slightly.

The officials of the imperial court didn't care at all that Ying Chang had just accepted a concubine, because in the eyes of all officials, it was the most normal thing for the emperor to accept a concubine. Attention, so no one knows Wei Shuyi's identity, and no one checks it out.

PS: "Monthly pass!"

Chapter 512 Full start of water conservancy and monastery projects!

Time flies, day by day, there is no war in Great Qin, and the entire empire falls into a long-lost peace. Every day that passes, the national strength of the Great Qin Empire is increasing slightly.

On July 15st, the [-]th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, the Great Qin Empire, Xianyang City, Imperial Palace, and Qilin Hall!

Inside the majestic and sacred Qilin Palace, the ranks of military officers were empty, and the ranks of officials were all standing. The unrivaled emperor with disdainful eyes.

The Qilin Palace was extremely quiet and the atmosphere was solemn and solemn. Standing at the top of the official rank, Prime Minister Zhang Feizi took a small step forward, bent down solemnly and respectfully to write a report: "I report to Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"Zunza!" Ying Chang, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, replied softly with a blank expression.

Zhang Feizi first reached out and took out a memorial from his big sleeve, then put his hands on the high platform, and handed the memorial to Ying Chang. Ying Chang reached out to accept the memorial and started to read it. At the same time, Zhang Feizi also retreated from the high platform and stood back. On his own seat, he raised his hand as a salute and said:

"Your Majesty, this is a group of officials selected by the minister. They are going to build a team for the Chinese Academy. Some of them work in various places, and some of them work in the six ministries of the imperial court. I ask your majesty to grant permission to transfer all the people on the list to the Chinese Academy. , Handle the official affairs of the Chinese Academy with the minister!"

After nearly three months, Zhang Feizi finally perfected the system of the Chinese Academy and the school. Now everything is ready and the only thing he owes is Dongfeng.

The ministers didn't say a word about it. They knew about the establishment of the Chinese Academy and the opening of the school for a long time, and they also supported the imperial court's establishment of the Chinese Academy and the opening of the school.

Ying Chang roughly glanced at the list on the memorial, then closed the memorial, held it in his hand, and whispered to all the officials: "Where is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials!"

Standing in the second row of the official queue, Li Ke, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, quickly stepped out of the queue, bowed down respectfully and responded: "The minister is here!"

Ying Chang raised the memorial slightly, and signaled to Li Ke to come up to get it. Li Ke immediately understood, walked up to the high platform carefully, took the memorial in Ying Chang's hand, and then backed away with his head down, returning to the place where he was standing.

"Just follow the list on the memorial and transfer them to Prime Minister Zuo's mansion first, and hand them over to Prime Minister Zuo!" Ying Chang ordered without expression on his face.

"Observe the order!" Li Ke replied respectfully, and then retreated into the queue.

After Li Ke returned to the queue, Yingchang looked at Zhang Feizi again, and asked in a neutral tone: "Can you figure out the total budget for the establishment of the Chinese Academy and the opening of the school?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, it has not been calculated yet. It needs to be calculated by the whole school, so before the officials are transferred to the school, I can't give a budget!" Zhang Feizi replied with a calm and respectful expression.

Ying Chang nodded, indicating that he understood. After a short silence, he looked at Chang Zifei, the Prime Minister on the right, and asked directly, "Chang Aiqing, how is the sale of the Yishu crossbow?"

Hearing Ying Chang's question, Chang Zifei immediately took a small step forward, and replied with a respectful expression: "Your Majesty, the orders made by the missions of various countries total 20 B-rat crossbows, worth [-] taels. Baiyin, by the way, Your Majesty, the envoys of the Jin Empire have requested to purchase the B-rat crossbow, but I have been rejected by the minister!"

"I see!" Ying Chang nodded. He was not disappointed that he only got the order of [-] Yishu crossbows, because many empires wanted to copy them, and when they found that they couldn't copy them, they would add more. a lot.

As for Chang Zifei's refusal of the purchase request of the Jin Empire Mission, Ying Chang said that he did a very good job, because Jin has been destroyed in the past few years, and it will be fought tomorrow or the next year.

"Where is the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry!" Ying Chang immediately called softly!

Jiang Haiyou, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, immediately stood out of the official queue, bowed down respectfully and responded, "The minister is here!"

"At the beginning, Aiqing said, build more roads and more canals. The former can make our Daqin form close ties, speed up trade, and facilitate our army to mobilize quickly. The latter can make our Daqin full of water and grass, and we are not afraid of floods and droughts. !"

"At the beginning, the Great Qin State was weak and had no labor and no money or food. It was impossible to implement all of them. We had to take our time. But now our Great Qin State treasury is full and labor is abundant, so we can implement all of them. Therefore, I decided to carry out the project of cultivating roads and canals with all my strength. I will ask the Ministry of Households to transfer the necessary expenses to the Ministry of Industry at one time!" Ying Chang said with a solemn expression, without anger and prestige.

Jiang Haiyou was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed ecstatically: "Your Majesty is wise, I and my colleagues from the Ministry of Industry will definitely do a good job in this matter!"

Guangxiu Dao, Duoxiu County has always been his biggest idea, but due to limited national power, in the past few years, only the water canals in Shangyang County have been built, and the roads have only been built within a hundred miles of Xianyang City. Indefinitely, but now, Yingchang Jinkou said, let him fight the national road water conservancy project, which makes him unhappy.

Standing in the official queue, the mouth of Jia Luo, Minister of the Ministry of Households, twitched. If he remembered correctly, when he returned to Xianyang from the Kama tribe, Yang Ze told him Jiang Haiyou's five strategies for strengthening the country, including Guangxiu Dao, Duoxiu County.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that Jiang Haiyou said that at least 6000 million taels of silver is needed. The general salary before was 7 yuan, but now it has risen to [-] yuan. It is estimated that there will be a little more, [-] million taels. Just a little over [-] million, nearly [-]% of the national treasury was taken away at once, and my heart is bleeding!

"Three years, I only give you the Ministry of Industry three years!"

Before Jiang Haiyou was overjoyed, Ying Chang suddenly added a sentence, which made Jiang Haiyou's smile turn serious. Without it, three years is too short. Although the Great Qin is prosperous, it can only squeeze out 50 laborers. Even if you add the young and strong Xiongnu in the Northwest Desert, it may be about 80.

In order to complete the water conservancy project plan in the seven counties of Guannei within three years, 150 million people are needed, and half of the labor force is still missing!

"I obey the order!" Jiang Haiyou raised his hand solemnly in response.

Although it is difficult, the more difficult it is, the more we have to overcome it. Otherwise, what are the officials to do? If there is a shortage of labor, go back and slowly find a way. I believe that there is always a way to solve the problem.

Ying Chang leaned back in the chair, his back was leaning tightly on the dragon chair, his hands rested on the armrests of the dragon chair naturally, he looked at Jiang Haiyou with a natural expression and said: "The Ministry of Industry not only needs to build roads and canals, but also Repair the station and the granary!"

"Stations and granaries?"

The ministers frowned slightly, their expressions slightly puzzled.

Chapter 513 Adding a Station Granary!Prepare for the coming war!

Seeing the doubts on the faces of the ministers, Ying Chang was not surprised, and immediately explained in an unhurried tone: "I know what you think, the post station, I have it in Daqin, and the granary. City and county warehouses are granaries!"

"Yes, but convenience is one thing. What is the purpose of post stations? To transmit information and military reports from all over the country to the imperial court. Now post stations are set up every two hundred miles. This is too far away. Even if the road is smooth, It also takes two days for the messenger officers and soldiers to arrive at the post station, and it takes too much time for the messenger officers and soldiers to sit on the spot in these two days!"

"I am also a military commander, and I know that the opportunity for war waits for no one. If you delay for a day, you may lose the front line. Therefore, I will shorten the station to fifty miles, and set up a station every fifty miles. Let the officers and soldiers rest and not let the news rest!"

"In this way, the ten-day journey can be delivered in only seven days, which is shortened by three days. This is definitely a benefit for the imperial court. It can know the situation of various places at a faster speed, and wait for the road to be repaired. We have to shorten the journey by a day or two!"

"Think about it, dear friends, if our army and the enemy army confront each other, and both sides ask for help from the imperial court at the same time, if my Daqin court can get the news five days in advance, wouldn't it win the first move? The post station said, let's talk about the granary !"

"What is the function of the granary? In the event of a disaster, food can be provided from the granary to relieve the victims, or in the event of a war to replenish the granary for the army. Today, the granaries of Daqin are the county treasuries of the counties and cities. There are only seven granaries in the huge Qin Empire! "

"The county treasury is under the control of the local government. The imperial court can only see the amount of the county treasury in each place from the official submissions from the local government. I and even your love are not clear about the specific number, and how much food and grass are there in the county treasury in each place?" There are few, there are hundreds of thousands of shi, and there are tens of thousands of shi, and even serious cases, and there are empty positions!"

"Imagine, everyone, once there are many disasters in Daqin, will Daqin's seven food and grass outside be enough? What if there is a war and the local county treasury has no food and grass? At that time, the people will suffer and starve, and the soldiers will not have the strength to fight and kill the enemy!"

"But if granaries are added and directly managed by the household department, will it be possible to avoid the false quantity of grain and the problem of untimely allocation? Setting up granaries will not only avoid what I just said, but also allow our army to go out without carrying a large amount of grain and grass. , It is beneficial for our army to mobilize!"

Ying Chang eloquently explained why the granary and post station were added, and all the ministers listened carefully.

Jia Luo, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, stepped out of the official queue, bent down respectfully and wrote, "Your Majesty's words are reasonable, and what you said is very true. How many granaries should your Majesty set up?"

Ying Chang was silent for a while, then he opened his mouth and replied: "There are three additional granaries in each county, and the distance between each granary is 50 miles. Each granary is prepared to store [-] shi of grain. Calculate!"

Jarrow fell into a brief moment of contemplation, and after a moment of contemplation, he bent down and replied: "I obey the order!"

After agreeing, Jia Luo retreated to his stand, and then Ying Chang called softly: "Where is the Minister of the Ministry of War!"

Hearing the call, Yang Ze walked out of the queue again, and raised his hand respectfully in response: "The minister is here!"

"After the dynasty is over, immediately mobilize the siege equipment to the Wujin camp, and at the same time mobilize the feather arrows to the Jinbei camp, and make sure that the arsenals of the two camps are abundant!" Ying Chang said solemnly and in a serious tone.

This is preparing for the destruction of Jin!

When all the ministers heard these words, they were all shocked and immediately cheered up.

finally coming?

"The minister complies with the order!" Yang Ze bowed down and responded with a solemn expression.

Ying Chang slowly got up from the pitch-black carved dragon throne, looked around the officials expressionlessly, and softly shouted: "Retire!"

After the words fell, all the ministers knelt down on the ground and shouted in bowing ceremony: "I wait to send you off to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Yingchang walked down the high platform without saying a word, and left the majestic and sacred Qilin Palace from the back hall. After Yingchang's figure disappeared from the eyes of all officials, all officials slowly got up from the ground, and then walked together with their colleagues and left together. Qilin Palace, step out of the magnificent palace!

When all the officials walked out of the palace and returned to their respective yamen, all the ministries began to get busy. The Ministry of Officials transferred officials to Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion, the Ministry of War mobilized siege equipment, the Ministry of Industry started the national water conservancy road project, and the Ministry of Households also mobilized money. Silver flowed out like water without money, and the heartbroken Jarrow didn't have a smiling face all day.

Time passed slowly, the days passed day by day, and a month passed, on July 15, [-]th year of Shengqin, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Yushufang!

"Minister Zhang Feizi pays homage to His Majesty!"

June and July are the hottest months. There are seven or eight ice stoves in the imperial study room, which makes the temperature inside the imperial study room very different from the temperature outside. Ying Chang, who is sitting on the dark dragon chair, just casually Wearing a loose black robe, hair scattered on the shoulders, a casual attire.

Three steps away from the imperial case, Zhang Feizi is kneeling and worshiping. Compared with Yingchang's loose and casual attire, Zhang Feizi wraps himself up tightly, with a red inner robe inside and a summer Baihebuzi court dress outside. , wearing a topaz official hat.

Even though there was an ice stove in the imperial study to disperse the heat, there was still a trace of sweat on Zhang Feizi's forehead.

"Get up!" Ying Chang raised his hand with a gentle smile on his face.
