The Jagged Empire of Daqin

[Zhongshuyuan: The daily expenditure budget of schools all over the country in Daqin is 1000 million taels of silver; the budget for building schools in the occupied land is 1000 million taels of silver; the daily expenditure budget of Zhongshu Academy is 100 million taels of silver]

[Prime Minister You's Mansion: The government subsidizes medical expenses with a budget of 3000 million taels of silver; the budget for nursing homes and pensions is 7000 million taels of silver]

[The 30-year annual financial budget of the Great Qin Dynasty Shengqin is: 520 million taels of silver and 800 million shi of grain! 】

Seeing the surprised expression on Ying Chang's face, Zhang Feizi immediately explained: "Your Majesty, the military budget includes the severance pay for the disarmament, as well as the pensions for the soldiers who died in battle, and the expenses for your majesty's reward to the three armies!"

"I have no problem with the military budget. What I want to ask is, what imperial mausoleum are you building for me? You actually need to mobilize millions of labor and need 8000 million taels of silver a year? Are you planning to use gold, silver and jade to build it?" Ying Ying He often asked with a look of surprise on his face.

The Ministry of Industry only has a budget of 5000 million taels of silver for repairing water conservancy roads a year, but it costs 8000 million taels of silver to build his imperial tomb.

Jiang Haiyou, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, stood out of the queue of civil servants, raised his hand respectfully and saluted, and said, "I want to tell you, Your Majesty, as a talented and generous monarch who has never been seen in Daqin and even Kyushu since ancient times, how can you build an ordinary emperor for your majesty?" Ling, this does not match the achievements you have made!"

"As your Majesty expected, I really want to use gold, silver, jade and other precious things to build the imperial mausoleum. Not only that, I also want to build a Xianyang city in the imperial mausoleum, and use jade and night pearls to lay out the territory of Kyushu, so that your majesty, whether you are Live or die, suppress Kyushu forever, and protect my Great Qin Wanshi foundation!"

"And in order to demonstrate His Majesty's prowess, I will build three Baizhang sculptures on the imperial mausoleum. One sculpture is His Majesty riding a horse and holding a sword. The other sculpture is His Majesty wearing a crown and wearing a crown. Dressed in ordinary clothes for His Majesty, with eyes like torches, looking down on the common people!"

Jiang Haiyou looked very excited, because for him, building Yingchang's imperial tomb was definitely the biggest, most majestic and also the hardest thing he had ever done in his life.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Jiang is right. Don't refuse, Your Majesty!"

"My Daqin treasury is full, not short of this money!"

All the ministers spoke one after another, dissuading Ying Chang not to shirk, and even Jia Luo, who loves money like his life, stood up to agree.

Obviously, in the minds of the ministers, Ying Chang deserves three Baizhang sculptures and an imperial mausoleum made of gold, silver and jade!

"Since everyone loves you the same, then I will not act like a lady, so let's settle this matter!" Ying Chang did not refuse too much. Since the ministers are the same and the country does not lack this money, let's build it. , It should be used as a town.

"Your Majesty is wise, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" All the ministers bent down and shouted in unison.

"How long will it take for the 59 counties of the twelve prefectures and the imperial mausoleum to be completed?" Ying Chang looked at Jiang Haiyou and asked.

Chapter 1065 Give officials three years

Jiang Haiyou replied: "Your Majesty, the water conservancy road project in 59 counties of the twelve prefectures will take at least ten years to complete. As for the imperial mausoleum, it will never end!"

Jiang Haiyou used the word "endless" very well, not only expressing the hope that Ying Chang will never die, but also expressing that he will cultivate until Ying Chang dies.

Ying Chang fell silent, ten years, ten years is too long!

"I will give you an additional budget of 500 million silver, and I am recruiting 59 million laborers. At any cost, I will complete the water conservancy road project in [-] counties of the twelve states within three years, and the governments of the twelve states will also order them to do so within three years. Let the area under their jurisdiction restore prosperity!"

"If they want money, the court will give it, and if they want people, the court will give it. If they want food, the court will give it. I only have one sentence. Three years later, I will wipe out all the countries in one fell swoop and complete the unification of the world. That is to say, you must be in three years. Within the year, make the Great Qin country peaceful and the people safe, and let our army go out without any worries!" Ying Chang looked at the officials solemnly and shouted!

He is not sure how long he can live, he only knows that the sooner the unification, the sooner he can complete the great cause.

So, no regrets!

After hearing this, all the ministers couldn't help but look at each other, and couldn't help feeling puzzled.

Why is Your Majesty in such a hurry?

Jia Luo frowned, and said with a solemn expression, "Your Majesty, we are recruiting 500 million laborers, which will greatly affect the strength of our Great Qin State, and the loss of the Great Qin State treasury will also be very fast. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is not impossible to restore the prosperity of the newly acquired twelve states within three years, but it will consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and I, Daqin, may not be able to afford it!" Zhang Feizi also said solemnly.

If things were done according to what Ying Chang said, the Great Qin court in three years' time would be very poor.

Ying Chang unhurriedly got up from the dragon chair, and said coldly to the ministers, "At any cost!"

Throwing down the words 'at any cost', Ying Chang stepped down from the high platform and left the Qilin Hall from the back hall. Seeing this, Pei Ji shouted loudly: "Back to court!!"

After shouting this sentence, Pei Ji hurriedly followed Ying Chang, leaving only a group of civil and military ministers looking at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do.

"Your Majesty, is it a little too hasty?" Yang Ze said with a worried expression.

"Hey~" Jia Luo sighed softly, "If you come, let's go, let's go, there must be a reason for His Majesty to do this, let's not speculate on His Majesty's will!"

Jia Luo folded his hands and stepped out of the hall. After hearing Jia Luo's words, the other ministers also left one after another, no longer speculating on Ying Chang's intentions.

If His Majesty says to do it, then do it.

Accelerate the unification of the Qin Dynasty!

...

Oasis Palace!

Ying Chang brought Pei Ji and others to the courtyard of Ganquan Palace.

"Pei Ji, take them all down, I want to be alone with the empress, and besides, go tell the eldest prince to come and see me!"

As soon as he came to the courtyard of Ganquan Palace, Ying Chang asked Pei Ji to retreat with the military guards of Xianyang Palace, and also asked Pei Ji to pass on the eldest prince. Pei Ji retreated and took people to guard outside the courtyard. He also brought her people to guard outside the courtyard.

After avoiding the crowd, Ying Chang followed Yang Xiao into the bedroom of Ganquan Palace.

Ying Chang looked tired and pale, and sat on the side of the couch. Yang Xiao walked up to Ying Chang with the jade bowl and handed it to Ying Chang.

"The medicine is ready, drink it quickly!" Yang Xiao looked at Ying Chang with a worried face and said.

Ying Chang took the jade bowl and drank the bitter medicine in the bowl in one gulp. After drinking, Yang Xiao wiped Ying Chang's mouth and asked at the same time, "Is the court meeting so long today, do you feel unwell?"

Ying Chang smiled wryly, "It's not like that, but I can hold on to all of these."

Yang Xiao couldn't help feeling distressed, her eyes became moist instantly, seeing Ying Chang's current state, she was really uncomfortable, as if the pain was on her body.

"Today's court meeting, I gave all officials a deadline. Within three years, the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe. Three years later, I will wipe out all the countries and complete the unification. Unsurprisingly, after the unification, our Great Qin will fall into an unprecedented plight!" Ying Chang eyebrows A look of worry was revealed.

He knows that he is a little eager for quick success now, and he also knows the consequences of quick success, but he is not reconciled. He is unwilling to be unwilling to complete the unification.

The person who suffered the mess was Ying Jiang, which was why Ying Chang asked Pei Ji to summon Ying Jiang.

He wanted to have a showdown with Ying Jiang, so he had to explain everything clearly so that Ying Jiang could prepare early.

"What kind of hardship? Is it more difficult than when you first became the throne?" Yang Xiao asked curiously and worriedly.

In her eyes, when Ying Chang ascended the throne, it was already the greatest hardship, but now Ying Chang said that after unification, Daqin would fall into an unprecedented plight. worry.

This father and son really made her worry.

"Actually, when I ascended the throne, because of the support of the old Qin people who spared no effort, Daqin didn't suffer too much except for the loss of most of its territory. It was not too difficult in other aspects. It could survive with gritted teeth, but it was different after the reunification."

"First of all, the treasury will be squandered, and secondly, the subjugated people will try their best to restore the country. It's okay that I am here. No one in the world dares to restore the country, but what will happen after I am not? When the time comes, troops will be sent to suppress it, and troops will be sent to suppress it." Waste of money and food!"

"If the national treasury is squandered, there will be no money and food available. This will be the biggest dilemma that Daqin will face after unification. If this dilemma cannot be resolved in a short time, the momentum of the survivors of various countries will become stronger and stronger, and it will gradually affect Daqin's rule for many years. area, thus hurting the foundation of Daqin!"

"Now I only hope that I can live one more day. If I live one more day, I will be able to suppress the survivors of all countries. As long as I can live for five years after the reunification, the crisis of the Great Qin Dynasty will be solved, but I am afraid that I will not live that long!" Ying Chang said with a face Worries hung on his face, and his expression also showed a hint of loneliness.

Yang Xia grabbed Ying Chang's relatively cold hands, stared at Ying Chang solemnly and said, "You have to believe in you and my son, Jiang Er will not let you down!"

Hearing this, Ying Chang was encouraged in his heart, forced a smile and said, "Yes, we must believe in our son, and believe that he can rule the people!"

"Report to Your Majesty, the First Prince has arrived!"

At this time, Pei Ji's voice came from outside the bedroom.

"Why is Jiang'er here?" Yang Xiao was stunned for a moment.

"I called him here, but I didn't expect it to be so soon!" Ying Chang explained.

In fact, what Ying Chang didn't know was that Ying Jiang was also looking for him, and Pei Ji met him, that's why Ying Jiang came so quickly.

"Are you going to confess to Jiang'er?"

Ying Chang nodded, and then shouted to the outside of the hall: "Let the eldest prince come in alone. No one is allowed to approach within a hundred steps outside the hall. Anyone who violates the rules will be killed without mercy."

1066 Three Years

"As ordered!"

Soon, Ying Jiang pushed the door and entered alone. When he saw Ying Chang sitting on the dragon couch with a pale face and a weak expression, he was startled. He also saw his mother Yang Xiao holding the jade bowl, feeling bad!

Ying Jiang hurriedly walked up to Ying Chang, and asked cautiously, "Father, what is this..."

Ying Chang didn't answer, but looked at the gate that Ying Jiang forgot to close. Ying Jiang came back to his senses, quickly turned back, closed the gate tightly, and then hurried to Ying Chang.

Ying Chang didn't answer, Yang Xiao said, "Your father was seriously injured when he was young, and he was not treated in time, which led to his old illness now. Your father had an old illness three months ago. Every day You have to bear the pain of colic in your internal organs."

"What!" Ying Jiang was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help taking a few steps back, obviously unable to bear the news.

It can't be blamed on Ying Jiang's poor determination, you know, he is only 14 years old!

Ying Chang forced a smile, "I called you here today to confess this matter to you. Father doesn't have many years to live!"

Ying Jiang staggered and fell to the ground, knelt and climbed up to Ying Chang in a panic, hugged Ying Chang's calf and cried, "Father, don't scare my son, I can't do without my father, and Daqin can't do without me." If you don't tell Father, I will invite the best doctor in the world to treat Father, and Father is waiting!"

Ying Jiang quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, got up and left in a hurry.

Ying Chang quickly grabbed Ying Jiang's arm and pulled him back.

Ying Chang stared at Ying Jiang with piercing eyes, and said in a low voice, "It's useless, this is the father's order, and it's the father's limit!"

"Father!" Ying Jiang cried out in pain, lowered his head and began to cry, after a while, he raised his head to look at Ying Chang choked up and asked, "Is this the reason why Father is anxious to send troops to destroy the nations in three years? "

Ying Chang nodded!

"Originally, I wanted to dissuade my father from taking back his will, but now, I don't want to!" Ying Jiang said.

Ying Chang showed a look of relief on his face, "You want to dissuade the emperor, which means that you already know the consequences of eager for quick success. Jiang'er, can you afford the Great Qin Dynasty after it dominates the world?"

"My son can afford it!"

Ying Jiang's expression was extremely firm, and his tone was sonorous and forceful. When he said this sentence, he blurted it out without any hesitation.

"Good, good, good, hahaha!" Ying Chang applauded happily, and Yang Xiao also showed a gratified smile.

Both of them are happy that they have an excellent heir who bravely shoulders the devastated Great Qin Dynasty after the war!

"Listen, from now on, you are going to select talented and capable people from among the young officials, and then record their names, and they will be reviewed by the father. After the review, they will be promoted one by one. When the father enters Jiuyou, they can I can better assist you, you don't have to worry about no one available!" Ying Chang said solemnly.

"Your minister leads the decree!" Ying Jiangxing knelt down and bowed in response!

"Are you still going to school?"

"I don't need it anymore!"

"Then arrange to drop out of school. Father will not give you a fixed position. You can rely on your status as a prince to visit the six government offices and the left and right prime minister's mansions. You will be familiar with everything about the six left and right prime minister's mansions. You must also be familiar with the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It depends on whether the Metropolitan Procuratorate is strict."

"The departments mentioned by the father are all the most important departments of my Great Qin. You must be familiar with them. In addition, the father is telling you that the reason why the father did not send out the veterans in Duchangjing is to give the generals a Opportunity, cultivate more good generals, for you to use!"

"My son understands, thank you, Father!"

.....

The next time is the time for the father and son to have a heart-to-heart talk. This talk lasted for half an hour. After half an hour, Ying Jiang just left, and Ying Chang also went to the imperial study to review today's memorial.

Time passed slowly, and with the passage of time, the Great Qin Dynasty entered an extremely busy stage!

Zhangzhou, Yujiang County, and Pingxiang County!

Outside the city of Pingxiang, countless people are wielding hoes in the wilderness. From old men in their 60s and [-]s to teenagers in their eleventh or twelve years old, they are all working hard to open up wasteland.

On some desolate field, two young men in commoner clothes were waving hoes with their backs facing the sky and facing the soil, renovating the soil. One of them was named Lin Qing, who was the magistrate of Yujiang County, and the latter was named Li Zimin, who was the governor of Yujiang County. Junjun Cheng.

"Working with so many people, I feel stronger, haha!" Li Zimin said with a smile while wiping his sweat.

Lin Qing stopped his hands and turned his head to look around. Seeing the hard work of the people, Lin Qing showed a bright smile on his face and said with a smile: "According to the current progress, Yujiang County will soon be prosperous. !"

Li Zimin also stopped his hoe, gasped and laughed and said: "Yes, in this way, I will live up to your majesty and the court, and I will be able to make a smooth appointment!"

"When Yujiang County restores its prosperity, it will be the time when our Great Qin will rule the world!" Lin Qing laughed.

"Why do you say that?" Li Zimin asked curiously.

Lin Qing smiled without saying a word, and continued to plow the wasteland with a hoe. Lin Qing did not speak, and Li Zimin did not continue to ask, and began to work hard.

Not only them, but all the people in the wilderness, there is only one belief in their minds, plowing the barren fields!

Outside the city of Pingxiang is just a hint of the Great Qin Dynasty. Now the Great Qin Dynasty is full of busy people everywhere, and the barren fields everywhere are also in a state of being developed. It will not be long before these barren fields will grow rice ears, which can make the people of the Great Qin Self-reliance can make the people of Daqin have no worries about food and clothing!

The sun and the moon fly like a shuttle, time flies like an arrow, and a year passes in the blink of an eye.

This year, in order to speed up the restoration of prosperity in various places, the Great Qin Dynasty spent more than 6000% of the total budget, one billion taels of silver, and [-] million shi of grain!

The cost is huge, but there are also gains. The population of the Great Qin Dynasty exceeded 1000 million, and three states were added outside the pass for this purpose. Now there are six states outside the pass. In addition to the population, the amount of fertile land in the Great Qin Dynasty also exceeded [-] million mu, and the imperial court received [-] million shi of grain annually!

Due to the excessive use of labor, Daqin's finances have declined, and the total annual fiscal revenue is only [-] million taels of silver!

After one year, there are only 16 billion taels of silver and 7000 billion shi of grain left in the Daqin treasury!
