The Jagged Empire of Daqin

"Quasi-playing!" Ying Chang replied softly.

"Your Majesty, in order to resist my great Qin tiger and wolf army, the Jin Empire sent all men over the age of 12 and under the age of 50 into the army. I estimate that after the fall of the Jin Empire, most of the people in Jin were young and old, and very few were young and strong! "

"If there is no youth, there will be no labor force. This will undoubtedly be a disaster for the people of Jin. Their good fields will be abandoned because no one will cultivate them. Abandoned good fields also means that they will suffer from hunger and cold, and become hungry people. Your servant please Your Majesty allocated grain to relieve the hungry people in Jin, and ordered the army conquering the Jin Empire that every time a city or land is conquered, a warehouse should be opened to release grain to relieve the people!" Zhang Feizi raised his hand solemnly.

"Where is the Minister of Hubu!" Ying Chang called softly!

Hubu Shangshu Jia Luo hurriedly stood out of the queue, bent over respectfully and responded, "The minister is here!"

"The Ministry of Households listened to the order and recruited 20 laborers from the people, and then transferred 1000 million shi of grain from the treasury, and 20 laborers escorted 1000 million shi of grain to Jindi. After arriving in Jindi, the grain was distributed according to the local population!" Ying Chang Said richly.

A rich treasury is a rich treasury, and opening your mouth is 1000 million shi!

In fact, on the surface, it seems that only 1000 million shi grains are spent, and several 10 taels of silver are also spent. You must know that the 20 laborers recruited also need to be paid. One person is 100 renminbi, 1000 people are 1 renminbi, 50 are 10 renminbi, 500 are 20 million renminbi, and 1000 are [-] million renminbi.

1000 million yuan is equivalent to 10 taels of silver, which means that the 20 laborers have to pay 10 taels of silver as labor fees every month, and it will take at least five months to go back and forth. , but in Jindi, the road is not easy to go.

In addition to paying extra silver, a lot of food is also consumed. After all, 20 laborers are not wooden people, they all have to open their mouths to eat.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Jarrow raised his hand respectfully and responded. This time he did not hesitate, and responded very readily. The reason for this is not that he has become more arrogant, but that he cannot save it. This is the food that must be given. If it is not given or saved , many people will starve to death.

"Your Majesty, who will serve as the food security officer?" Zhang Feizi said suddenly.

When Zhang Feizi asked about this, Jia Luo couldn't help being taken aback, and the ministers of the right party also raised their vigilance.

Yingchang hesitated for a while, then looked at Zhang Feizi and replied, "Who does Zhang Aiqing recommend?"

Ying Chang knew very well that Zhang Feizi wanted to train officials of the Left Party and wanted to strengthen the power of the Left Party in the court. After all, the power of the Left Party in the court was very low. Except for him, Zhang Feizi, no one could speak up, and Ying Chang also wanted to Improve the power of the left party in the court and play a balanced strategy!

"I do have a candidate, but this person has a low official position, relatively insufficient qualifications, and is very young!" Zhang Feizi gave Yingchang a vaccination in advance, and first revealed the weaknesses of the recommended person. There will definitely be right-wing ministers who will find fault with it later, and if they say it now, it will stop Yoyo's mouth.

Hearing Zhang Feizi's words, many rightist ministers secretly scolded Zhang Feizi as an old fox.

"Okay, just tell me who it is, as long as he has the ability, even if he is an eight-year-old child, I will give him a heavy responsibility!" Ying Chang said impatiently!

He also knew that Zhang Feizi's detours were to silence the ministers of the right, but he really didn't want the ministers to detour with him, because it was a waste of time and energy, and there were still a lot of papers waiting for him to review in the imperial study.

Hearing Ying Chang's words, Zhang Feizi finally felt relieved, while the rightist ministers were very depressed. Why were they depressed? Because Ying Chang said that as long as they have the ability, even an eight-year-old child will be given a heavy responsibility. It is impossible to object to candidates recommended by Zhang Feizi on the grounds of seniority and age, and it is even more impossible to object on the grounds of lack of ability. Whether there is ability or not depends on Zhang Feizi's mouth.

Chapter 592 Partisan Controversy

"Then I will tell you that this man's name is Xu Pin. He is already in his twenties this year. The official worshiped as a seventh-rank official of the Ministry of Household Affairs. From the ninth-rank small Beijing official all the way to the seventh-rank small Beijing official!"

"Xu Pin's ability, I can guarantee that I will be qualified to be the food security officer this time, and please be judged by your majesty!" Zhang Feizi briefly introduced this seventh-rank small Beijing official named Xu Pin!

The small Beijing official is the lowest-ranked official in the six yamen, and he has to do everything. Compared with the miscellaneous, the seventh-rank small Beijing official is the highest small Beijing official among the small Beijing officials. It seems that there is half a rank between the seventh rank and the sixth rank, but it is actually a watershed. How many people are stuck in the official rank of the seventh rank for a lifetime.

It is also surprising to say that Prime Minister Zuo, who is dignified and dignified, will promote a small official. In fact, Zhang Feizi has no choice, but all the officials who have reached the sixth rank are probably rightists. He does not promote officials from the bottom , Is it possible to poach people?

"Your Majesty, I dare not agree with Prime Minister Zuo's recommendation!"

As soon as Zhang Feizi finished speaking, a minister couldn't help jumping out to object. This minister was about [-] years old, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin. Four grade officials.

The name of this person is Zhuo Linmu, and he is a doctor of the fourth-rank household department. He is a minister of the right wing. He can get to this day because of Jia Luo's promotion, and Chang Zifei, Jia Luo, and Yang Ze are the leaders of the right wing!

Seeing that someone jumped out to object so quickly, Zhang Feizi couldn't help being speechless for a while!

"Reason?" Ying Chang said two words in a calm tone.

He would not mindlessly agree with Zhang Feizi's recommendation, otherwise the suspicion of supporting the leftists would be too great, which would not be conducive to harmony between the monarch and his ministers. Moreover, he also needed to listen to Zhuo Linshu's objection. What if what he said made sense?

"His Majesty, the reason why I objected was not that this little Beijing official named Xu Pin was not capable enough, but that the escort of grain and grass to the Jin Dynasty was too important and should not be handed over to a small official who had no experience in escorting grain and grass. !"

"You know, this is related to the lives of 400 million Jin people. If there is an accident on the way, it is very likely to cause hundreds of thousands of people to starve to death. If it is serious, it will even threaten the rations of the frontline soldiers!" Zhuo Lin Mu bowed down awe-inspiringly to report!

Ying Chang couldn't help hesitating. Although the trees at this table were suspected of attacking the leftist party, what they said was very reasonable. It was really risky for a small official to be the grain guard who escorted 1000 million shi of grain.

Seeing that Ying Chang began to hesitate, the rightist minister secretly gave Zhuo Linmu a thumbs up, wishing to shout out, Zhuo Lang is doing a good job!

"Your Majesty, although our Great Qin is strong and its national strength is second only to the Wei Empire, our Great Qin still needs a steady stream of talents. This sub-class is really good. Let him be a regular seventh-rank official in the capital, and it is really humiliating!" Zhang Feizi looked solemn. said the editor.

No matter what he wants to do today, he wants to let this Xupin become the food security officer, otherwise, this Xupin will never have a chance to enter the court, and the rightist ministers will definitely take the opportunity to suppress him, and there is no possibility of turning over!

If Xu Pin's future is lost in his hands, will anyone rely on him, the Prime Minister Zuo, in the future?Certainly not, when someone wants to take refuge in him, someone will definitely say, fool, you still take refuge in Prime Minister Zuo, do you know Xupin?Originally, he had a bright future, but after taking refuge in Prime Minister Zuo, he was oppressed by several ministers in the court and was out of breath.

In other words, if Xu Pin is not able to become the food security officer this time, it will be even more difficult for his leftists to strengthen their strength, so he is fighting his old life today to make Xu Pin this time. Grain officer, and then relying on this achievement, he became a member of the sixth rank and officially entered the imperial court!

As long as Xu Pin enters the court, there will be one more person to speak for him, and there will be one more person to support any new policies that will be implemented in the future, and the reason why he spares no effort to recommend Xu Pin is not all for the development of the leftists, but because he likes Xu Pin Otherwise, she wouldn't speak for Xu Pin like this.

Zhang Feizi can clearly distinguish between national interests and party interests!

At this time, Yang Ze, Minister of the Ministry of War, stood out of the queue, bowed down respectfully and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, I think that we can't judge whether Xu Pin is capable of taking the charge of grain by just relying on Prime Minister Zuo's words." Officer, Prime Minister Zuo also said just now that Xu Pin was born as a scholar!"

Yang Ze, as the leader of the right wing, also began to join the war without gunpowder on the battlefield. He specifically pointed out that Xu Pin was born as a scholar, just to let Ying Chang pay attention to this point. , there are Juren, Gongshi, and Jinshi, not to mention higher ranks such as champions.

Yang Ze deserved to be a leader, he saw the blood, not only let the ministers know that Xu Pin was born as a scholar, but also let Zhang Feizi have a little bit of suspicion of using power for personal gain, you know, a mere scholar can't get into the six departments!

This definitely went through the back door!

The corners of Zhang Feizi's mouth raised slightly, and he replied calmly: "Your Majesty, Xu Pin only took the hospital exam, and left in a hurry after half of it. The reason is that his mother suddenly became seriously ill and had to interrupt the exam. Leaving the field, you can still be a scholar, few people in the world can do it, the above words are true, if there is half a sentence to say, I am willing to kill myself and apologize!"

After hearing these words, Ying Chang immediately became interested in this talent, and he was able to win a scholar after taking half of the exam, which is a bit amazing.

"So you made an exception to promote Xu Pin and transferred him to the household department?" Ying Chang asked blankly.

"Exactly!" Zhang Feizi replied respectfully.

Ying Chang nodded, then fell silent, lost in thought between his brows, and after a moment of thought, he called softly: "Where is the capital censor!"

The imperial censor Changqing hurriedly stood out of the queue, bent over respectfully and responded, "The minister is here!"

"I'll give you half an hour to check on Xu Pin immediately to see if it's really what Zhang Aiqing said!" Ying Chang said with a solemn expression, without getting angry!

"Uh..."

Chang Qing was stunned, and replied with some embarrassing salutes: "Your Majesty, there is no need to investigate. When Prime Minister Zuo transferred Xu Pin to the small Beijing official of the Ministry of Households, the Metropolitan Procuratorate had already investigated this matter. It is indeed true. As Prime Minister Zuo said, he is a talent!"

Hearing this sentence, Zhang Feizi's face turned black, and I was actually investigated by the Metropolitan Procuratorate?

Chang Qing's embarrassment is embarrassment here, secretly checking people behind their backs, and now saying it in front of them, how can it not be embarrassing!

PS: "Please book in full, ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommended ticket!"

Chapter 593 The Jin Empire Surrenders!

"So, this Xu Pin is a talent, what do you love?" Ying Chang looked at the officials with a half-smile and said with a smile.

"haha, yes!"

"Yes Yes!"

"Yes!"

Baiguan let out bursts of embarrassing laughter, which was uglier than crying!

Ying Chang took a deep breath, and said calmly, "Listen to the decree, Feng Xupin, a member of the sixth-rank household department, Wailang, will serve as the food security officer this time. If he can successfully complete it, he will be promoted to the first rank!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhang Feizi quickly bowed down and flattered him.

Ying Chang looked at Zhang Feizi, and said in a neither cold nor indifferent tone: "Zhang Aiqing, don't rush to be happy, I said ugly things first, but Zhang Aiqing said that she would guarantee for Xupin. If Xupin does not do well, let me Disappointed, not only does he lose his job, Zhang Aiqing is also to blame!"

"I understand!" Zhang Feizi replied with a solemn expression.

Ying Chang glanced around at the ministers, and said in a calm tone: "Aiqing, can you have something to say, if there is nothing to say, then retreat to the court!"

After the voice fell, none of the officials stood out of the queue!

"Report!"

Just when Chang Ying was about to announce his retirement, there was an urgent call from outside the hall. All the officials in the hall and Chang Ying looked up subconsciously, and saw a powerful imperial guard walking into the Qilin Hall quickly. In the center of the main hall, he knelt down on one knee respectfully and wrote a report:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the last general is the military officer on duty at Chengde Gate today. Outside Chengde Gate, a man who claimed to be an envoy of Jin asked to meet His Majesty. He said that he had important matters to discuss. His identity has been verified and he is indeed the Jin Empire. Qin envoy, will your majesty announce the Jin envoy to see you?"

Hearing these words, Ying Chang couldn't help being surprised. It's not that he didn't know that the Jin envoy was coming, but he didn't expect the Jin envoy to come so soon. Yesterday, the Ministry of Rites submitted a memorial saying that the Jin envoy would arrive in two days, but it turned out to be here today.

"Let's declare!" Ying Chang replied calmly.

He wanted to see what the Jin court was planning, and what was the purpose of sending envoys to Qin at this time?Redeem Jin Emperor Min Ziying?armistice?Compensation for ceding land?

"Obey!" The Marquis of the Imperial Guard responded with a respectful expression, then got up from the ground, turned around and left the Qilin Hall, and as soon as the Marquis of the Imperial Guard left, Chang Zifei, the prime minister on the right, stepped forward and took a small step forward, with an expression A more dignified editor said: "Your Majesty, the envoy of Jin came here, most likely because he wants to cede the land and stop the war!"

"Ceded land and ceased fighting?"

"What he thought was beautiful, it's too late to stop the war now!"

"20 years ago, what did he do!"

"This battle will destroy the Jin Empire and capture the nine counties of the Jin Empire!"

"I estimate that the Jin Empire should rely on the Zhao Empire as a support to put pressure on my Great Qin and force my Great Qin to cease fighting!"

"Come here, whoever is afraid!"

"Zhao Empire dares to participate, then fight with him!"

"The Jin Empire may also want to redeem the Jin Emperor!"

"Probably not. Now that the Jin Empire has established a new emperor, it is impossible to redeem the previous Jin emperor!"

"What's impossible!"

All the ministers began to discuss the purpose of envoys from Jin to Qin.

"Silence!" Pei Ji, who was standing beside the dragon chair, shouted coldly with a solemn expression!

After the words fell, all the ministers shut their mouths, and the hall fell silent for a moment. The hall was silent for a while, and Ying Chang broke the silence and said, "Whether the envoys of Jin came to cede the land for a truce, or to redeem their former emperor, I, Daqin, don't need it." care!"

Ying Chang was only curious about the reason why the Jin envoy went to Qin, and didn't care about the purpose of the Jin envoy's visit. Xuan Jin envoy's meeting was mainly to satisfy his curiosity, and the second was to go through a cutscene and give the Jin Empire the last bit of respect!

After hearing these words, all the ministers showed their approval. Whatever he did, it was just two words, refuse!

The main hall began to quiet down, Baiguan and Yingchang were waiting for the Jin envoy to enter the hall, about half a stick of incense time later, the previous guard officer brought an old man with old skin and wrinkled face. An old man was dressed in a blue peacock patch court dress, and he was definitely a member of the third rank of the Jin Empire!

This third-rank official of the Great Jin Empire is the envoy of the Great Jin to Qin this time. The left servant of the official worship department, named Deng Changle, is 48 years old this year. He didn't look so old at first, but the recent bad news made him A day is like a year.

Deng Changle walked to the center of the hall with a rather nervous expression, bowed his body and raised his hand in salute: "Foreign minister Deng Changle, according to my emperor's order, enters Qin to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Qin!"

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Ying Chang said calmly.

Deng Changle took a deep breath, forced himself to stabilize the tension in his heart, then slowly bent his knees, bowed his head on his knees and said: "On behalf of the Great Jin court, the foreign ministers surrender to His Majesty Qin Emperor!"

"Huh?" Ying Chang frowned, his eyes flashed with surprise, all the officials in the hall were also taken aback, and they didn't react for a while, surrender?The Jin Empire wants to surrender?

"That means surrender, why don't you see the seal of Emperor Jin?" Ying Chang's sharp sword-like eyes frightened Deng Changle's mind!

Deng Changle's heart trembled, he gritted his teeth and replied: "Back to His Majesty Emperor Qin, our Great Jin is willing to lower itself to the level of a country, to a vassal state, and the emperor to be a king, to be subordinate to the Great Qin Empire, and to cede Jinchang County. The entire territory is given to Great Qin!"

The meaning of this sentence is very simple. Surrender is fine, but if you want to keep the Jin regime, it also indirectly explains why you don’t surrender with the Jin Emperor’s Seal. The Jin Emperor’s Seal symbolizes the power of a country. It was the seal of princes and kings in the country!

If there is no seal, the government will not exist, and the nations will not recognize it!

"No!" Ying Chang refused without hesitation, "Great Qin does not need a vassal state, the Great Jin regime that Great Qin wants is completely destroyed, and the world belongs to Qin!"

Deng Changle fell silent, seemingly in hesitation.

"Well, the condition I gave you the former emperor back then was that as long as Da Jin is willing to surrender the whole country, I will make the Emperor Jin the hereditary king of Jin, and give him a Jin palace in Xianyang City. He will live forever and eat me Qin Lu from generation to generation. Give them preferential treatment, you can serve as an official, you can join the army!" Ying Chang said immediately, telling Deng Changle about his conditions.

Deng Changle looked up at Ying Chang who was on the high platform, and asked anxiously, "Then... what about the officials of the Great Jin Dynasty?"

"Whoever is willing to work for Daqin, I welcome it. Those who don't want to work for Daqin will be given a mansion in Xianyang, so they can take care of themselves for the elderly!" Ying Chang said calmly.

"Ah!" Deng Changle let out a long sigh, lowered his head slowly, his forehead pressed against the floor, and said weakly: "Okay!"

Originally, when the Jin court surrendered, it never occurred to him to keep the political power, but Deng Changle was unwilling and lucky, and wanted to keep the political power for Da Jin. Unfortunately, this was just a daydream, and Da Qin would not throw away the fat he got!

PS: "Please recommend a ticket, ask for a monthly ticket, and ask for a full order!"

Chapter 594 Ying Chang's Anger!

Ying often sees Deng Changle compromise, the surface is calm, the face is calm, but the heart is full of smiles, the Jin Empire surrenders, so it will save a lot of effort, as long as the Jin officials and the Jin emperor are controlled, the Jin people will rule It will be convenient in every way, and you don't have to worry about Jin rebellion!

Not only Ying Chang was happy, but all the officials in the palace were also very excited, but they just cared about the occasion and didn't show it.

"Can you hand over the seal of Emperor Jin now?" Ying Chang said blankly, looking at Deng Changle who was kneeling and bowing his head.

"Emperor Jin is in the imperial capital of Jinling, and I hope His Majesty Emperor Qin will take it for himself!" Deng Changle was like an eggplant beaten by frost, and his whole body was languid, and his speech was weak. This is also understandable. As a minister, he watched the empire fall with his own eyes. It would be like this for anyone.

After listening to Deng Changle's reply, Ying Chang nodded his head to show his understanding, then raised his eyes to look at the officials, and said in a serious tone: "I will pass on my order to order General Ning Yuan, Shang Yanghou, and General Gu Yuan to lead their troops to The imperial capital of Jinling accepts the surrender of the Jin court!"

"According to the order!"
