The Jagged Empire of Daqin

As soon as the words fell, a young man in his twenties appeared in the eyes of Yingchang and the others in rough clothes. They saw Jiang Haiyou stepping over the threshold of the Qilin Hall and walking towards the center of the hall with a solemn expression. Yingchang saw Jiang Haiyou's first At a glance, I feel that this person is extraordinary.

Because Jiang Haiyou did not show a hint of humbleness, and he was completely neither humble nor arrogant. In his eyes, it seemed that he did not regard Yingchang as a wild beast. This is very rare, because there are differences between monarchs and ministers. , all have more or less awe, but Ying Chang only sees respect from Jiang Haiyou, not awe.

This made Yingchang look at him with admiration, and he had a little expectation for Jiang Haiyou in his heart.

Jiang Haiyou walked to the center of the hall with strides, then knelt down on his knees and bowed his head and shouted: "Caomin Jiang Haiyou pays homage to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

"Pingshen!" Ying Changxu raised his hand and said softly with a majestic expression.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jiang Haiyou thanked, and then slowly got up from the ground. Together with Jiang Haiyou, Yingchang asked with a hint of doubt: "Just now I heard that you called yourself a grassroots man. Don't you have no official title?"

Jiang Haiyou saluted first, and then replied solemnly: "Your Majesty, the grassroots is just a grassroots, and has never held an official position!"

"Hmm?" Ying Chang frowned, thinking, where did Chang Zifei find a clean and honest official?If you think about it this way, wouldn't the people of Daqin be clean and honest officials? Thinking of this, Yingchang looked at Chang Zifei with some displeasure, feeling that Chang Zifei was fooling him.

Chang Zifei looked into his eyes, and suddenly remembered something. For a moment, he wanted to slap himself. He was too busy these days, so he forgot to tell Yingchang about Jiang Haiyou's background.

"Your Majesty, it was my negligence. Although Jiang Haiyou has never held an official position, he is the deputy leader of the Yunqing League. He has great talents and is a rare talent!" Chang Zifei quickly explained .

"Yunqingmeng? I seem to have heard from General Du that Yunqingmeng seems to be in the Great Wei Empire, right? Why, you told you to find talents, and you flew to the Great Wei Empire to look for them?" Ying Chang became more and more confused the more he listened, For a while, I couldn't figure out the current situation.

"Your Majesty, after Chang Qing returned to Daqin four years ago, he established the Yunqing League in Daqin to investigate corrupt officials. The list you gave me last time, Your Majesty, was done by the Yunqing League of Daqin, and this Jiang Haiyou , is the deputy leader of the Great Qin Yunqing League, and most of the matters of the Yunqing League are managed by him, so I feel that he is a rare talent!" Chang Zifei continued to explain.

After hearing this, Ying Chang finally understood. Isn't this the fact that Chang Qing established a sub-alliance in Daqin?

"I understand, but what puzzles me is that since Chang Xiang said that you are a rare talent, why didn't you choose to become an official to benefit one side? Could it be because the court was turbid at that time and you didn't want to participate in it?" , or, do you hope that the Daqin Yunqing League, like the Dawei Yunqing League, will be favored by the court and set up as the Yunqing Division so that you can rise to the top?" Ying often looked at Jiang Haiyou with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through Jiang Haiyou .

Hearing this, Jiang Haiyou couldn't help clenching his fists, struggling violently in his heart, hesitating, thinking whether to say it or not.

"I don't like people who deceive me, because such people's two-faced and three-handed swords are not trustworthy. Jiang Haiyou, if you really want to contribute to Daqin, then you have to tell the truth, otherwise the court will be so big that there will be no place for you!" Ying Chang said with a serious expression.

"call!"

Jiang Haiyou closed his eyes gently, let out a long breath, helplessness and anxiety appeared on his face, finally opened his eyes, and replied with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, the grass people are not because the court is turbid, nor do they want to With the help of the Yunqing League, it is really..."

When Jiang Haiyou said this, he immediately lost his courage and dared not continue.

When Du Changjing and Yang Ze looked at Jiang Haiyou like this, they knew that there was something hard to say, and it was hard to say it. Chang Zifei frowned even more, and felt deeply guilty for not telling Ying Chang about Jiang Haiyou's background in advance. Otherwise, Ying Chang would not have forced Jiang Haiyou to tell the reason.

After all, people have self-respect, and it is really difficult for Jiang Haiyou to tell the real reason in front of these people.

Chapter 78 Jiang Haiyou!

Yingchang has been staring at Jiang Haiyou with scrutiny in his eyes. They know that Jiang Haiyou has an unspeakable secret, but Yingchang doesn't know, but he just wants Jiang Haiyou to make it clear that he didn't mean to embarrass Jiang Haiyou, because As long as the matter is revealed, there will be no more unspeakable secrets in the future. Otherwise, if you keep hiding it, it will eventually become a heart disease, and even someone will catch you in the future and make him do something you can't do.

"Caomin...Caomin..." Jiang Haiyou hesitated, hesitating so much that he, who was neither humble nor overbearing, panicked, causing his heart to be full of panic and apprehension, worrying that once the reason was revealed, all his future would be ruined.

For Jiang Haiyou, this was a big gamble for his future, but he didn't want to participate in this big gamble, and he didn't want his future to be bleak because of this incident.

"I see you, it's better to go home and think about it for three days and three nights, go down and call the next person!" Ying Chang said in a tone of pretending to be impatient.

"Caomin's mother is a prostitute, and my father doesn't know which one. It is precisely because of this that I have no choice but to join the Yunqing League because I have no chance of official career!"

Jiang Haiyou's face was flushed, his expression was extremely excited, tears were shining in his eyes, and his tone was even more roaring. As soon as these words came out of his mouth, he instantly made him feel inferior, and at the same time felt his cheeks were hot, and his face There is no light, I can't wait to find a gap to drill.

At the same time, he, who is neither humble nor overbearing, has a little bit of dodge in his eyes, not daring to look up at Yingchang.

When Du Changjing and Yang Ze heard this roar, they finally understood Jiang Haiyou. The reason for this is that ordinary people are really embarrassed to say it, it is too embarrassing.

Chang Zifei couldn't help feeling anxious, worried that Yingchang would abandon Jiang Haiyou because of his background. After all, some emperors would dislike even ordinary people, let alone this kind of bastard whose father didn't even know who he was. ...

"Crack! Crack!"

There was sudden applause from the Kylin Hall, and everyone looked up subconsciously, only to see Yingchang applauding with a smile on his face. Everyone saw this, and it was Monk Zhanger who couldn't figure it out.

"Does Your Majesty also laugh at my lowliness? Hehe, that's all, this is life, the grassroots leave!"

Jiang Haiyou let out a sad laugh, turned around and walked away with a lonely expression. At this moment, his heart was half cold, and he couldn't help feeling sad, tears streaming down his face.

"I don't seem to let you go?"

Yingchang looked at Jiang Haiyou's back with a half-smile and smiled.

Jiang Haiyou paused, and his movements stopped instantly, while Chang Zifei was overjoyed, feeling that there was still a chance.

"Turn around and let me take a good look!" Ying Chang said with a smile.

Hearing this, Jiang Haiyou immediately turned to look at Yingchang, his lips trembling and said: "Your Majesty...Your Majesty, don't you..."

Yingchang got up from the dragon chair, stood solemnly and looked at Jiang Haiyou and said, "I am very pleased that you can tell the truth, you will remember it for me, I never care, let alone the origin of the talent, as long as you have Ability, even if you jumped out of a rock, I will reuse it!"

"Perhaps some people will say, how can the sacred unicorn palace and the solemn court hall accommodate a son of a prostitute? Isn't this detrimental to the majesty of the imperial court and tarnish the image of the Great Qin Empire? I'm telling you now that only Great Qin will become stronger and stronger , outsiders dare not make irresponsible remarks, whoever says it will be destroyed, what can majesty do? Can it be eaten? Can it make people live a better life? What can image do? Can it prevent other countries from invading Daqin? "

"None of these things, only talents can enable the people of Daqin to live a life without worrying about food and clothing. Only when we are strong, other countries dare not invade us. I am a layman. I only judge whether you are strong or weak. Even if you come from a famous family , the three generations of prime ministers, if they are incapable, I will ignore it, the distinction between the humble and the noble does not work in front of me, you can understand!"

Yingchang's words are not only telling Jiang Haiyou not to worry about his background, but also conveying his views on nobility and humbleness to the world. Yingchang is indeed a common man. As long as he can make the Great Qin Empire stronger, even a picky man can Reuse as usual, in a word, do whatever it takes to achieve your goals, whether you are mean or superior, use your strength to speak for yourself!

"Your Majesty understands, Your Majesty is wise!" Chang Zifei, Yang Ze, and Du Changjing shouted in unison. These holy words came from the heart without any false flattery.

Jiang Haiyou's emotions rose from moved to excited, and his heart was overwhelmed!

"Your Majesty treats me as a gentleman of the country, and I will repay it to the people of the country. Your Majesty, the grassroots have made a poisonous oath today. From now on, if you violate your Majesty's sacred heart, the grasslanders are willing to be hacked into pieces. If you want to live, you can't die. After death The soul enters the eighteenth level of hell, and will live forever and never be reborn!" Jiang Haiyou knelt down on the ground and knocked heavily.

"I don't need your poisonous oath, I just need you to do your best for the court, for the people of Daqin, and for me!" Ying Chang was full of spirit, exuding a powerful majesty of the emperor!

"The grass people must be like this, and they will die!" Jiang Haiyou replied sonorously.

Yingchang flicked his big sleeves, sat back on the dragon chair, raised his hand to Jiang Haiyouxu and said, "I'm just pleased with your honesty and courage, but I haven't recognized your ability yet!"

"Grass people..."

Yingchang suddenly interrupted: "Don't talk on your knees, talk standing up!"

Jiang Haiyou got up immediately, bowed respectfully to Yingchang and replied, "How can Your Majesty recognize the abilities of the grassroots?"

"I ask you, what is your wish?" Ying Chang asked with a solemn expression.

"Your Majesty's wish is exactly the wish of the grassroots!" Jiang Haiyou replied sonorously.

"Ha!" Ying Chang chuckled, and said curiously: "You keep saying that my wish is also your wish, so do you know what my wish is? If you don't know what my wish is, how can you say it's yours? Wish?"

Jiang Haiyou raised his head and took a deep look at Yingchang, and said in a neutral tone: "Your Majesty's wish is for the world to be united!"

"How do you know?" Ying Chang asked curiously.

"When Caomin was outside the palace, he faintly heard His Majesty talking about Confucius's theory of world unity, so Caomin believed that His Majesty's wish was the world's unity. Furthermore, the world's great unity is the ultimate goal of the British lords of all dynasties, and His Majesty is He is a hero who does not appear in a hundred years, and he will definitely take this as his ultimate wish, and it just so happens that the wish of the grassroots is also the same, and it can be regarded as a reconciliation!" Jiang Haiyou said neither humble nor overbearing.

"So that's the case, then I ask you, what should be done to fulfill this wish?" Ying Chang asked again.

"Before Caomin answers, can I ask His Majesty a question?" Jiang Haiyou became bolder and dared to ask back.

PS: "Please recommend tickets, please collect, thank you!"

Chapter 79 Five strategies to strengthen the country!

??

"Ask!" Ying Chang replied disapprovingly, the more Jiang Haiyou was like this, the more interested he was, there was no way, there were too few people like Jiang Haiyou.

"Your Majesty's world refers to the world of Great Qin, or the world of Kyushu?" Jiang Haiyou looked directly at Ying Chang with a solemn expression and asked.

"Naturally it is the world of Kyushu!" Yingchang answered without hesitation, without the slightest hesitation, it can be said that he is ambitious and has a clear purpose!

After the words fell, Chang Zifei, Yang Ze, and Du Changjing couldn't help being moved by this. Is this ambition too big for the world of Kyushu? Since ancient times, there has never been an empire that can unify Kyushu, and no emperor has such a big ambition. For example, the Great Wei Empire, which is currently on the rise, is very powerful, but Emperor Wei's goal is only to stabilize the hegemony of Kyushu.

Emperor Jin was also very ambitious, but he only wanted to become the overlord of Kyushu. He had no ambition to unify Kyushu at all, or rather, he dared not have it, because Kyushu was so big that one person would not be able to walk it all in his life!

The scope of the land of Kyushu alone is enough to make countless heroes dare not peep at it, not to mention that there are so many empires on the land of Kyushu. You must know that the premise of unification is to destroy these empires.

"Your Majesty's ambitions are admirable to the grassroots. In fact, to unify the Kyushu, whether it is possible or not is not important. What matters is whether you want it or not. Your Majesty, the grassroots have five strategies. I wonder if Your Majesty would like to hear them?" Jiang Haiyou said with a serious expression.

Ying often heard the first half of Jiang Haiyou's sentence, and he already agreed with Jiang Haiyou in his heart. It really spoke to his heart. As the saying goes, how big is the ambition and how great is the ability, how can you say no if you don't try?What if it works?

This is whether it is necessary or not, it is important whether you want it or not!

"Let's talk!" Yingchang's eyes flashed with anticipation, wanting to hear Jiang Haiyou's strategy, not only Yingchang, Chang Zifei, Du Changjing, and Yang Ze couldn't help but concentrate, making sure to hear and remember Every word Jiang Haiyou said later.

"The first strategy! Crack down on the land and wealth landlords! Nowadays, the people of Daqin are living in dire straits. It is the result of the local land and wealth landlords crazily annexing the people's good land. Daqin is getting worse day by day!"

"If the good land of the rich landlord is returned to the people, the people will no longer go into exile, let alone occupy the mountains as bandits, so as to solve the man-made disaster, and the people will honestly plow his fields and eat his food, and even the court can [-]% of the grain tax will be reduced and [-]% will be used to appease the people and win the hearts of the people, as long as the hearts of the people are supported, the Great Qin Empire will surely be strong!"

"Second strategy! Encourage the people to cultivate and open up wasteland. Food is the foundation of a country. Without food, everything will be impossible, and with food, everything will be possible. As long as there are enough fertile fields, there will be enough food. With enough food, the people of Daqin and the soldiers of Daqin If the people are not hungry, the people will support the court, and if the soldiers are not hungry, they will have more strength to fight!"

"Third strategy! Prohibit private sales of salt. The profit of salt is too great, and it is an indispensable thing for all people. The imperial court allows private sales of salt. The original intention is to give [-]% of the salt profit to the people. Salt merchants raised the price of salt, instructing the common people to save food and money in order to eat salt, sell pots and sell iron, and emptied their homes, so that the people who could have enough to eat became hungry. The grassroots really believed that opening up private sales of salt would do far more harm Yu Li, even said, there is no benefit at all!"

"Fourth strategy! Build more roads and more canals! A good road can greatly shorten the journey, and a bad road can greatly extend the journey. If the road is flat and direct, the journey that originally took three days can be reached in one day. In contrast, if The deployment of the army can greatly reduce the marching time, as the saying goes, the speed of the army is precious, and the benefits of a good road are far more than that, it can closely connect the surrounding places, and make the business of the Great Qin prosperous!"

"There are two benefits of building more canals. First, it can facilitate the people to irrigate remote and fertile fields. Second, it can prevent floods and droughts!"

"Fifth strategy! Strengthen the army, build the Qin army into an invincible iron army. To build such an army, training alone is not enough. It needs to be strictly prohibited, rewarded for meritorious deeds, and punished for demerits, regardless of origin. , Killing the enemy is meritorious, and those who have meritorious service will be conferred titles and worship generals, so that a powerful Qin army can be built!"

"The first three strategies are strategies for benefiting the people, the fourth strategy is a strategy for all benefits, the fifth strategy is a strategy for strengthening the army, and the first three strategies are basic strategies, the fourth strategy is a supplementary strategy, and the fifth strategy is still a strong one. The strategy of the army, taken together, is the strategy of strengthening the country. With the first four strategies as the basis and assistance, the Great Qin Empire will be able to regain lost ground, expand its territory, and move towards the ranks of the overlords of Kyushu. But if Daqin produces a sage king, it will surely be a great unity!" Jiang Haiyou said sonorously and energetically.

"My dear friends, what do you think of these five strategies?" Ying Chang asked, looking around at everyone.

Chang Zifei took a small step forward and bent down to report: "Your Majesty, I think the five strategies Jiang Haiyou said are very good, and I have kept them in my heart. I haven't found any disadvantages yet!"

"Your Majesty, I believe that the fourth strategy of widening the road and building more canals may not be realized for the time being. Without him, our Great Qin has limited resources and population, and the imperial treasury is only tens of millions. There is simply not so much material and manpower to build roads and canals! "Yang Ze expressed his views.

"Your Majesty, I'm a general, so I don't understand..." Du Changjing said simply.

"What Yang Aiqing said is true. Daqin currently has no extra manpower and material resources to build roads and canals. In my opinion, Jiang Haiyou's five strategies are all feasible, but we have to take them step by step. What do you think?" Ying Chang said calmly.

In fact, these five strategies are not amazing for Yingchang, they are all within his original plan, but Jiang Haiyou can say so much, and all the reasons are reasonable, he is also a good talent.

"I obey the order!" Chang Zifei and the others bent down and replied.

"Jiang Haiyou listen!" Ying Chang asked, looking directly at Jiang Haiyou with a solemn expression.

"Caomin is here!" Jiang Haiyou bent over excitedly and responded.

"Since you said that the five strategies are reasonable, I will appoint you as the Minister of the Second Grade Ministry of Industry. After you go back, you will take a good look at the territory of the Great Qin Empire, draw out the routes and canal lines, and start building roads and canals after the Great Qin has enough manpower and material resources! " Yingchang said with a solemn expression.

"Minister Zunzhi!" Jiang Haiyou bowed deeply, and then stood behind Yang Ze. Although he has been named Minister of the Ministry of Industry and is on an equal footing with Yang Ze, but because he is a junior, Jiang Haiyou Down one place.

Jiang Haiyou's performance immediately made Yang Ze and Chang Zifei feel good.

Chapter 80 Establish the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Supervise Hundreds of Officials!

"Chang Xiang, call the next one!" Ying Chang began to continue the "interview".

"and many more!"

Du Changjing stopped suddenly, and Yingchang looked at Du Changjing curiously, and couldn't help asking, "General Du, do you have something to say?"

"Your Majesty, just now the general suddenly thought of something and forgot to tell His Majesty!" Du Changjing said with a slightly embarrassed expression.

When Chang Zifei heard this, he cast a sympathetic look.

"What's the matter?" Ying Chang asked curiously.

"In order to encourage the soldiers to actively participate in the training, I made my own initiative and made a promise to the soldiers of the heavy cavalry. All the soldiers of the heavy cavalry will have three meals a day, with meat, and a monthly salary of three taels of silver. Killing an enemy is a meritorious service. Killing the enemy captain is ten merits, killing the enemy's general is one thousand merits, five merits are promoted to the captain, ten merits are promoted to the chief, and so on. I originally wanted to inform His Majesty on the second day, but the training was too hot , Your Majesty forgot, please forgive me!" Du Changjing couldn't help bowing his head and replied, if he remembered correctly, this is the second time he has made his own decision!

"I had this intention at first, and I agreed!" Ying Chang said disapprovingly.

Still the same sentence, as long as things are done well, there is no problem with self-assessment. On the contrary, if things are not done well, they will be dealt with!

Du Changjing was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Chang Xiang, just call Chang Qing!" Ying Chang said impatiently.

"Obey!" Chang Zifei bent down and responded, then turned and shouted: "See you, Xuan Changqing!"

Chang Zifei was still quite nervous. After all, this was his son, and it was not the official position His Majesty would give him, let alone whether His Majesty was satisfied with Chang Qing.

After the words fell, I saw a young man wearing a blue brocade robe and a silver crown stepping into the Qilin Palace. Compared with Jiang Haiyou's rough clothes, he was like a world away. This young man is the son of Chang Zifei evergreen!

As soon as Chang Qing entered the Qilin Palace, everyone's eyes were attracted by him, and anyone with a discerning eye could see how extraordinary Chang Qing was.

Chang Qing walked to the center of the hall, knelt down on the ground and shouted: "Grassman Chang Qing, greeting Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

"As expected of the young man of the Chang family, he is really handsome, get up!" Ying Chang couldn't help admiring, Chang Qing was really handsome.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise!" Chang Qing thanked her, and got up from the ground. When Chang Qing stood up, Ying Chang asked, "I've heard about you in the Great Wei Empire. I'm more curious. You were in the Great Wei Empire. Being awarded the third-rank Yunqing order, the future is bright, why choose to return to the crumbling Great Qin, which is about to destroy the country?"

"Caomin dare not lie. Caomin returned to Qin to inform his father that Caomin was granted the Yunqing Order. However, Caomin saw that corruption was rampant in Daqin. As Qin people and the sons of Qin officials, Caomin should do things for Daqin." One thing, this is the establishment of the Yunqing League in Daqin!" Chang Qing was telling the truth, and did not say a word of falsehood!

"I have seen your ability, what kind of official do you want me to appoint you?" Ying Chang said with a half-smile.

"This..." Chang Qing didn't know what to say for a while, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought. After a few breaths of thought, he bent down and composed and replied: "Your Majesty, any position of Cao Min is up to His Majesty, but Cao Min Only the ability to investigate corruption, as for the ability to govern the country, the grassroots are powerless!"
