The Jagged Empire of Daqin

Received Ying Chang's response, Jia Luo raised his hand again to salute, and reported respectfully: "Your Majesty, as of December 19, 19, the new population of the seven counties in Daqin Pass in 58 20 people, plus [-] people entering the Qin Dynasty this year, [-] people will die in old age, sickness and death!"

"The seventeen counties outside the Guan have a new population of 40, and 19 people died of illness, old age, sickness and death. In the 75th year of Shengqin, the seven counties inside the Guan have a total population of 36. , the total population of the seventeen counties outside the customs is 610 million, and the total population of the whole country is 520 million, ranking first in Kyushu!"

"Of the 610 million population of the seven counties in Guannei, Hebei County accounts for 95, Hedong County accounts for 95 million, Huainan Army accounts for 88, Nanyang County accounts for 85, Guangfeng County accounts for 80, and Hexi County accounts for 62. Yang County accounts for [-]!"

"The average population of the seventeen counties outside the customs is 30. Adding up the outside and the inside of the customs, our Daqin has a labor force of more than 200 million!"

Since the Great Qin conquered the Northwest Desert, the entire empire has entered the stage of cultivation and growth. Ying Chang led three thousand Xuanjia troops to attack Yan without using national power at all. Therefore, under the long-term peace, the population of the Great Qin is increasing year by year.

No way, the common people don't have any leisure activities. When they are bored, they just give birth and contribute to the population of Daqin.

Speaking of the Xuanjia Army, I have to say one thing. The horses of the Xuanjia Army have a very short lifespan because of the Gu technique. As early as the 17th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, three thousand horses of the Xuanjia Army soldiers died. Horses, pick out [-] high-quality war horses from the desert in the northwest, and then let Bai Qi use the Gu technique. The combat power of the Xuanjia Army has not diminished, and it has even improved. Unfortunately, the lifespan of the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army is not long. .

The average age of the officers and soldiers of the Xuanjia Army has reached 35 years old, that is to say, in the next few years, the three thousand Xuanjia Army will gradually wither until the established system is destroyed, but now the Great Qin is no longer particularly dependent on the Xuanjia Army. Oh no, I have never relied on it. The destruction of the Xuanjia Army only made Daqin lose an ace cavalry, which could not shake the overall military strength.

...

The officials were not surprised or shocked by the fact that the population of Daqin reached 130 million, because the population growth in these years is visible to the naked eye. The population of Xianyang City alone has reached [-]. Of course, some people are not born and bred In Xianyang, there are many wealthy families from all over the country who moved to Xianyang to set up a family business in order to show their status.

"Continue talking!" Ying Chang said softly with a calm face.

"Observe!" Jia Luo bowed down and saluted respectfully, and then continued in a calm tone: "Return to Your Majesty, as of December 19, 19, the total increase of Sheng Qin in 120 was [-]. Thousands of acres of fertile land!"

"Today, the total fertile land in the seven counties in Daqin Pass has reached 100 million mu, of which 140 million mu is in Hebei County, 140 million mu in Hedong County, 130 million mu in Huainan County, 130 million mu in Nanyang County, and 230 million mu in Guangfeng County. The county occupies 190 million mu, Hexi County occupies 120 million mu, and Shangyang County occupies [-] million mu!"

Although the national water conservancy road project has not been completely completed, where the water conservancy repairs in the counties are completed, the people will open up wasteland. Therefore, over the years, with the development of the national water conservancy road project, the number of fertile land in the Great Qin Empire has been soaring.

Shangyang County has also completely recovered from the defense of Yangguan, and the population of fertile land has been restored!

PS: "I'm asking for a recommendation ticket, asking for a full order, asking for a reward, asking for a monthly ticket, and asking for four daily requests. I hope you guys can agree to the humble author's request. Thank you, I am very grateful!"

Chapter 536 Finance!

The current Great Qin Empire, in addition to its military strength, ranks first in Kyushu, whether it is fertile land or population. The reason for the lack of military strength is that Ying Chang feels that it is unnecessary. The countries can only be regarded as average, but the strength of Daqin is all elite soldiers, and once there is a war, the young and strong who supplement the front line are all elite soldiers who have been trained for more than three years.

After hearing Jia Luo's words, Ying Chang called softly, "Where is Prime Minister You!"

Hearing this, Chang Zifei immediately took a small step forward, raised his hands respectfully and saluted, "I'm here!"

"After the dispersal of the dynasty, I immediately passed on my decree, ordering local governments to intensify land reclamation efforts, and each county must meet the standard of adding 50 mu of fertile land a year. Whoever fails to do so will be fined in the slightest, or downgraded in the worst case. Of course, If there is more than [-]% of the standard, there will be a big reward!" Ying Chang said with a solemn expression, without anger and prestige!

100 mu of fertile land may seem like a lot, but compared with the population of the Great Qin Empire, which is 130, this amount of fertile land is obviously not enough. We need to increase the scale of land reclamation, at least to ensure that the population is equal to the fertile land!

"I obey the order!" Chang Zifei replied respectfully, and then retreated to his station.

In fact, there is no need to pass an edict at all. When the water conservancy and road projects of the Ministry of Industry are completed, a large amount of labor will be released, and the speed of land reclamation will definitely increase by four or five times.

After making this decree, Ying Chang looked at Jia Luo again, "Continue talking!"

"Of order!" Jia Luo responded with a bow, and then raised his hands as a salute and continued to report: "Your Majesty, the financial revenue of Shengqin in 19 years has reached a new high again. The grain tax of Shengqin in 19 years was 200 million shi!"

"The salt tax is 850 million taels of silver, the commercial tax is 650 million taels of silver, and the customs duty is 3000 million taels of silver. The government offices in the 200 counties outside the customs sell a total of 200 cows and make a profit of 600 million taels of silver. The leading sheep will earn 200 million taels of silver, and the 2000 million horses will earn 800 million taels of silver, for a total profit of [-] million taels of silver!"

"The Commercial Department of the Ministry of Households made a profit of 4000 million taels of silver throughout the year, and the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of War made a profit of 1000 million taels of silver from selling the B-rat crossbow. The total fiscal revenue is 19 taels of grain, and 1000 taels of silver!"

"After Shengqin's 19 years' fiscal revenue was filled into the treasury, the treasury now has 5000 million shi grains, 48 million taels of silver, and [-] taels of gold!"

In recent years, the war horses and Yishu crossbows of the Great Qin Empire have become hot items due to the successive attacks from various countries. Merchants and envoys from various countries entered Qin to buy war horses and Yishu crossbows. Naturally, they had to pay customs duties and commercial taxes. Tariffs and taxes are very high.

To Ying Chang's surprise, Hubu Trading Division made mosquito coils and soap by mistake. Once these two products entered the sight of the merchants, they were like flesh and blood falling into the sea, and they were attacked. Sharks looted, and the Ministry of Households and Commerce Department made a profit of 4000 million yuan throughout the year. These two things have contributed a lot and have become essential household items, benefiting millions of people.

These two items were sold very cheaply in the Great Qin Empire, but once they came out of the Great Qin Empire, they immediately multiplied tenfold and became must-have items for aristocratic families. If you can’t afford this, hehe, are you ashamed to say that you are a famous family?

"The annual financial revenue of 5000 million taels of silver is a proud figure. The total annual financial revenue of several empires may not be as much as that of Da Qin!" Ying Chang said proudly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. smile.

All the ministers also showed knowing smiles, all flushed and full of energy.

After a few years, will the history books write them down in the annals of history?

Yes, they will all be recorded in history and admired by future generations!

After Jia Luo finished talking about this year's situation, he automatically retreated to his seat. Chang Zifei took a small step forward when he saw that Jia Luo returned to his seat, and bent down respectfully to write a report: "Your Majesty, I have something to do. Play!"

"Is it the budget for this year?" Ying Chang said what he had guessed without thinking about it.

Chang Zifei nodded, reached out and took out a memorial from his sleeve, and presented it with both respectful hands. Standing next to Ying Chang, Pei Ji, the military guard of Xianyang Palace, immediately stepped down from the high platform, and took the budget from Chang Zifei's hands with both hands. The memorial, and then stepped onto the high platform, stood in front of the royal case, bowed and handed the memorial in both hands!

Ying Chang stretched out his right hand to take the budget memorial and unfolded it.

The content of the memorial is as follows:

Ministry of War: The budget of the Ministry of Ordnance is 1000 million taels of silver, the budget of the army is 200 million taels of silver, 500 million shi of grain, and the daily expenditure budget of the Ministry of War is 20 taels of silver!

Ministry of Rites: The daily expenditure budget of the Ministry of Rites is 10 taels of silver!

Household Department: The 520 counties in the Northwest Desert need 30 million shi of grain to maintain, and the average distribution of grain to each county is 300. The expenditure budget is 20 taels of silver!

Ministry of Punishment: The daily expenditure budget of the Ministry of Punishment is 15 taels of silver.

Ministry of Industry: The daily expenditure of the Ministry of Industry is 10 taels of silver!

Ministry of Officials: The Ministry of Officials has a daily budget of 15 taels of silver for one year.

Preparatory camp: 120 taels of silver, 80 shi of grain.

Middle School: 500 million taels of silver!

The sum of the 16-year financial budget of the Great Qin Empire Shengqin: 100 million shi grains, 3000 10 taels of silver.

Excluding this year's budget, 900 million shi grains, 790 million taels of silver, and 48 taels of gold!

Due to the establishment of a large number of post stations and granaries, the daily expenses of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household each increased by 10 taels, because the post station is managed by the Ministry of War and the granary is managed by the Ministry of Households. , Therefore, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households each increased their daily expenses by 10 taels!

Ying Chang put away the budget memorial and handed it to Pei Ji with one hand. Pei Ji accepted the memorial with a respectful expression, then walked down the high platform and handed the memorial to Chang Zifei. After receiving the memorial, Chang Zifei put the memorial back on his sleeve In the middle, he then bowed down and saluted: "If your Majesty is the same, I will ask the Ministry of Households to allocate funds to adjust the grain according to the budget memorial!"

Ying Chang glanced at Chang Zifei, and replied calmly: "I have read the budget memorial, it needs to be revised, and the budget of the Ministry of War must be increased!"

"Ah?" Chang Zifei was taken aback for a moment, but didn't realize it all at once.

PS: "Ask for a full subscription, ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket, and ask for a reward. If you have conditions, please give a full subscription and a reward. If you don't have conditions, please vote for a recommendation vote. If the author doesn't mind it, one counts as one!"

Chapter 537 Launch an all-out war against the Jin Empire!

The rest of the ministers couldn't help frowning, and looked at the minister standing next to each other. They all saw the doubts in the eyes of the other party, what to modify, what to modify, and why should the budget of the Ministry of War be increased. The Ministry of War has more than 2000 million taels a year, which is not enough. ?

Does His Majesty still want to expand the Ordnance Department?

Under the puzzled eyes of the ministers, Ying Chang said calmly and eloquently: "Although the national water conservancy road project is still two months away, the granaries in various places have already been built. Allocate food and grass to various places!"

"This is what I want to modify. There are three granaries in each county. There are 21 granaries in seven counties. Each grain store stores 30 shi of grain, which means we need to allocate 630 million shi!"

Hearing this, the ministers finally understood why the budget was to be revised, and it turned out that it was to revise this.

Minister of the Ministry of War Yang Ze stepped out of the official queue, stood in the middle of the hall and bowed to salute and asked, "Your Majesty, why increase the budget of the Ministry of War? Could it be that Your Majesty wants to expand the Ordnance Department again?"

Ying Chang wanted to increase the budget of the Ministry of War. He was ignorant of the budget of the Ministry of War. He didn't understand why Ying Chang increased the budget.

Ying Chang heard Yang Ze's question and shook his head expressionlessly, "I'm increasing the budget of the Ministry of War, not the Department of Ordnance. The Department of Ordnance is already big enough and there is no need to expand it in a short time. The reason why I increased the budget of the Ministry of War is It is preparing to launch an all-out war against the Jin Empire!"

boom!

Ying Chang's words were undoubtedly a bomb, which exploded in the ears of all the ministers!

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

All the ministers knelt down on the ground excitedly, bowed and bowed and shouted loudly!

Finally, it is time to start a full-scale war against the Jin Empire. They have waited too long for this day

Ying Chang was not surprised at all when he saw the reaction of the officials. It was not that the Great Qin court was belligerent, but that it had been held back for too long. Since the end of the Yangguan defense battle, all Qin people in the world have been looking forward to it, looking forward to it. The Great Qin Empire conquered Jin and destroyed Jin, blood-washing the hatred of stealing and disordering the country!

The soldiers of Daqin are also waiting for the court's order all the time, hoping to avenge the dead souls of Daqin as soon as possible, and wash away the country's enmity!

Ying Chang looked at the kneeling ministers, and called softly with a solemn expression: "Where is the Minister of Rites!"

"Chen is here!"

Kong, the Minister of Rites who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head and responded!

Ying Chang took a deep breath, and said in a cold voice with an extremely indifferent look: "After the dynasty was dispersed, the Ministry of Rites sent envoys to Jin to declare war on the Jin court, and told the Jin emperor that my Daqin will have two armies attacking Jin, and one of them will be [-] grasslands. The legion entered the Jin territory from the Great Wall in northern Shanxi, with an army of [-] soldiers all the way, and entered the Jin territory from Huangshiguan!"

"I also want to tell Emperor Jin that if you don't want to be the first emperor captured by the Qin army, then please ask yourself to cut yourself off. If you don't want the Jinmin royal family to be reduced to slaves, then ask him to kill all the Jinmin royal family before he commits suicide." people!"

The cold tone was mixed with murderous intent!

"The minister complies with the order!" Kong Kowtow kowtowed forcefully in response!

"Where is the Secretary of the Ministry of War!" Ying Chang immediately shouted lightly!

"The minister is here!" Yang Ze raised his head excitedly and responded!

"I have passed on my decree to command Luo Xing, General Anyuan of the Wujin Camp, to march eastward on the first day of the third month in the Holy Qin Dynasty, and command A Lu Kege, General of the Northwest Camp of Yanxi, to lead the [-] Grassland Army of the North Jin Camp to the south. It is also the first day of the third month of the Holy Qin Dynasty, tell the two of them, after entering the Jin territory, the army must not disturb the people, must not oppress the people, must not burn, kill and loot, and those who disobey the order will be beheaded!" Ying Chang gave the order with his expression still cold and ruthless.

The all-out war against the Jin Empire is not just for revenge, he also wants to rule the Jin people forever. If he wants to rule for a long time, he must not be cruel, and he must set up the demeanor of a benevolent teacher!

"The minister complies with the order!" Yang Zezhong kowtowed in full force!

"Where is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials!" Ying Chang shouted softly again!

"The minister is here!" Li Ke, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, raised his head and replied solemnly!

"After the dynasty is over, start arranging officials immediately, according to the scale of nine counties!" Ying Chang decreed calmly and indifferently.

"I obey the order!" Li Ke kowtowed respectfully.

"Your Majesty, nine counties?"

At this time, a strange voice came from among the kneeling ministers. All the ministers subconsciously turned their heads to look, and saw Chang Zifei looking up at Ying Chang with a face of astonishment. Obviously, the strange sound just now came from Chang Zifei. from.

"That's right, nine counties, is there a problem?" Ying Chang asked blankly.

The corner of Chang Zifei's mouth twitched, and the other ministers also reacted one after another.

Is there a problem?Why is there no problem, where did Dajin come from Jiujun now!

Chang Zifei quickly got up from the ground, frowned slightly, and raised his hand in salute with a slightly dignified expression: "Your Majesty, the Jin Empire now has only seven counties, and the other two counties have long since changed ownership, and Fangshan County has changed ownership again. Zhao!"

"I know!" Ying Chang replied calmly.

"Ah?" Chang Zifei was taken aback for a moment, feeling that he couldn't keep up with Ying Chang's brain circuit.

"Your Majesty, you won't..."

Chang Zifei was about to tell what he guessed, but Ying Chang suddenly interrupted: "Yes, I not only want the seven counties, but also the two counties that changed hands from Zhao. For these two counties, I want to replace them." The Jin Empire will take it back!"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate!"

"That's right, Your Majesty, once we, Daqin, take away the two counties that have changed hands from Zhao, the Zhao Empire will beat us like crazy!"

"If the Zhao Empire declares war on Great Qin because of this, it may be detrimental to the front line!"

"This time, the total strength of the Jin Empire is only 13. It is not difficult to destroy Jin with 13, but if the Zhao Empire is added, the pressure will increase greatly. Please think twice, Your Majesty, don't move the second county! "

All the ministers discussed and advised Ying Chang not to touch the two counties that changed hands from Zhao.

Hearing the advice of the ministers, Ying Chang felt a little helpless in his heart. After looking around the ministers, he raised his hand and said: "My loves, get up first!"

As soon as the words fell, all the ministers quickly got up from the ground and stared at Ying Chang. Every minister had a more or less nervous expression on their faces, worried that Ying Chang's brain would get hot and forcefully take Yi Zhuyu away. Zhao's second county.

Under the tense eyes of the officials, Ying Chang slowly got up from the dragon chair, straightened his back, and looked at the officials with sharp eyes, "I know what you are worried about. I am worried that the Zhao Empire will be angry and declare war on me, Daqin. You must know that since the end of the Yan Zhao Han Qi War, the Zhao Empire has greatly improved its national strength!"

"Not only the national power of the Zhao Empire has been greatly damaged, but the Yan Empire and the Han Empire have also been severely damaged by the Zhao Empire. The Chu and Xia empires have consumed each other for nearly two years, and the national power has declined. I am not arrogant, let alone the Zhao Empire. To declare war on Great Qin, even if the entire northwestern countries declare war on Great Qin, I will not be afraid at all!"

Chapter 538: Ying Jiang Who Loves Death!

"Now the national strength of my Great Qin is the sum of the entire Northwest countries, even if they add up, they are not as powerful as my Great Qin. Under such conditions, how can I give up two pieces of fat to the Zhao Empire? Don't speak out Now, I have decided to seize the nine counties of Jin, and anyone who declares war on the Great Qin Empire will be regarded as an enemy country, and after the Jin Empire is destroyed, I will deal with them!"

"Retreat!"

After Ying Chang finished speaking, he walked directly down the high platform and left the Qilin Hall from the back hall. When Baiguan came to his senses, Ying Chang's figure had disappeared. For this, Baiguan felt helpless, and his heart couldn't help but increase a little Pressure, there is a feeling of rain and rain.

"Ugh"

"Although the Zhao Empire lost 40 in the battle between Yan, Qi, Han and Zhao, it still has the strength to fight!"

"Actually, what Your Majesty said is unreasonable. There are really few empires in Daqin who dare to mess with it. It is estimated that the Zhao Empire will not declare war on Daqin for two counties. Even if it declares war on Daqin, it will be fine!"

"Let's fight, Da Qin is not afraid!"

As soon as Ying Chang left, all the ministers left the Qilin Palace together. While leaving, they also discussed the matter with their colleagues. After talking, they left the palace. As soon as they left the palace, the ministers scattered around and went back to their respective yamen.
