The Jagged Empire of Daqin
Page 48
"I will arrange it immediately!" Fang Ruhai replied with a solemn expression.
"Wait, the Ai family still has something to ask Fang Xiang!"
"Please speak, Empress Dowager!"
"You said, will the Yan Empire take the opportunity to send troops?"
"Although Emperor Yan is mediocre, Minister of Yan Zhang Feizi will not fail to understand, so there is an [-]% possibility that the Yan Empire will also send troops!"
"In this way, our chances of victory are greatly increased!"
"Well, as long as the Qin Empire can last for three months, the Jin Empire will definitely be defeated!"
........
A rare game of empires has officially begun. The participants include the Great Zhao Empire, the Great Yan Empire, the Great Jin Empire, the Great Qin Empire, and the Great Qi Empire. Each empire has its own ideas and plans.
From here, we can see the difficulty of unifying the world of Kyushu. If the Great Jin Empire wants to destroy a Great Qin Empire, it will suffer from the schemes of the four empires at the same time. Strong and prosperous, one can imagine how much effort the emperors of the Great Wei Empire have put in.
On September [-]th, the eighth year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, the Great Qin Empire!
"Haha, a bumper harvest, a bumper harvest!"
"What a handsome Ji!"
"It's different when the emperor is in power, God rewards us!"
"This year's harvest is bumper, next year we can have a good year of food and clothing, and we don't have to worry about starvation anymore, haha, I'm so happy!"
"Old Li, how much have you gained?"
"Haha, it's only ten acres of land, how much can be harvested, only 23 shi!"
"talent?"
"Fuck you, he's showing off!"
"The imperial court collects [-]% of the grain tax, and the remaining [-]% is enough to feed and feed his family for a year!"
"I'm jealous!"
"You're also showing off. You've already cultivated [-] acres of fertile land, and you still have the face to envy others!"
"I can't plant my [-] acres this year, but I can only plant them next year!"
This season of every year is the most exciting season for the people of Kyushu, because this season represents the autumn harvest, and the people of Daqin are even more excited, because this year there is a bumper harvest, and the harvest of every household has increased by [-]%.
Xianyang City, Imperial Palace, Qilin Hall.
Ying Chang sits high in the dragon chair, wearing a gold silk black dragon robe, a dragon head belt, gold silk dragon pattern boots, and a dragon pattern crown with nine strings of pearls on his head.
And next to Yingchang, stood a beautiful woman in a green robe. This woman was exactly Tang Hua who had been subjected to the [-]-year-old cane without saying a word. After being injured, she became Yingchang's personal maid according to Yingchang's will.
Yingchang is a person who employs people without doubting others, and is directly appointed as the head of internal affairs of the Tanghua Palace, responsible for all matters big and small in the palace!
At this time, Ying Chang was holding a memorial and watching it with a smile on his face. The more he read it, the more intense the smile on his face, and his face almost turned into a chrysanthemum.
All the officials in the hall had faint smiles on their faces, and they all seemed to be in a very good mood.
"It's really great, God bless me Daqin!" Ying Chang put away the memorial, looked around His Highness and ministers with a smile on his face and said with a smile.
This memorial is just a memorial to report this year's great harvest. All the three counties in the country have a great harvest, and the neat harvest has grown by at least [-]%, which means that this year's imperial court's grain depot will be fuller.
Jia Luo, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, took a step to the right, bent over with joy and made a report: "His Majesty, according to the reports from the officials of all counties and counties, in the period of April and May, the total fertile land in the country has reached 160. 44 mu, including 66 mu in Hexi County, 58 mu in Shangyang County, and 48 mu in Nanfeng County. It will reach 200 million mu!"
This is all thanks to the tenth-class peasant system, because of the tenth-class peasant system, those people are like eating gunpowder every day, and they go to the wilderness to open up wasteland whenever they have time.
"Okay, great!" Ying Chang smiled from ear to ear.
"Ha ha!"
"God Bless Great Qin, God Bless Great Qin!"
"The Holy King's Advent is extraordinary!"
All civil and military officials laughed happily.
"It's almost done. I'm really happy to talk about business. After the court is over, I'll go home and open a few bottles of old wine!" Ying Chang said with a blush smile.
When the ministers heard the words, they all shut their mouths, preparing to open the top-quality vintage wine to celebrate after returning home.
"According to this year's bumper harvest, how much grain tax can my Daqin collect this year?" Ying Chang changed his face very quickly, and immediately asked the officials with a serious face.
When Jia Luo heard this, he immediately raised his hand and replied; "Your Majesty, as long as there are no natural and man-made disasters, the grain tax is expected to be as high as 160 million shi this year, and according to this year's growth rate, the grain tax will definitely increase by three or four times next year! "
Ying Chang was overjoyed, his mouth curled up, and he said in a rather meaningful tone: "Jia Aiqing, believe it or not, next year the number of fertile land in the Great Qin will exceed 500 million!"
"500 million? How is this possible..." Jarrow blurted out subconsciously, and then quickly shut his mouth.
In this regard, none of the ministers felt that Jarrow was wrong, because although the tenth-class peasant noble system can encourage people to open up wasteland, the labor force limits the growth of fertile land. After all, there is only so much labor to open up wasteland.
"Don't believe it?" Ying Chang asked with a smile.
The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty chose to be dumb at this moment.
Chapter 131 The Impeachment Storm!
"The Great Jin Empire is a good man. The four counties ceded by Daqin back then each had millions of acres of fertile land. If Wei Daqin took back all of them, wouldn't there be 500 million acres? No, even 700 million acres is possible!" Win Chang sonorous and forceful, full of energy said.
It may be that this year's bumper harvest has made Ying Chang a little inflated, and he can't wait to recover the lost ground.
After hearing Yingchang's words, many ministers gasped for breath.
700 million mu!
What is this number?A huge number!
In the most prosperous period of the Great Qin Empire, there were only about 400 million mu of fertile land. It is conceivable how attractive the 700 million mu of fertile land is to ministers like them.
However, although it is very tempting, the minister does not think that he can regain the lost ground in a short time.
Ying Chang also seemed to know what these ministers were thinking, and immediately said: "I know what you are thinking, are you thinking that the Great Qin Empire has no ability to recover the lost land now? I am telling you now that nothing is difficult in this world. As long as we wait for the ruler and ministers to agree, no matter how difficult it is, we can solve it!"
When the ministers heard the words, they all nodded in agreement, and couldn't help but reply in unison: "I will obey your majesty's instructions!"
Jiang Haiyou, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, took a small step to the right, and bent down respectfully to write a report: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
"Speak!" Yingchang replied indifferently.
"With the efforts of [-] prisoners of the Jin army, the canals within a hundred miles of Xianyang City have been dug, and the water source has been connected. Once the canals are dug, the people of Xianyang City are carrying hoes to enclose the land. It is expected that by the end of the year, Your Majesty will be able to see that Xianyang City is full of fertile and fertile fields for hundreds of miles!" Jiang Haiyou said with a tinge of joy.
For Jiang Haiyou, this is one of the things he has done for Daqin since he became an official. Within a radius of 40 miles, [-] million mu will be developed.
40 million mu is not a small amount!
Hearing this, Ying Chang nodded in satisfaction, and it was not in vain to spend tens of thousands of shi on food to feed [-] prisoners of war.
"Your Majesty, do you want to expand the distance and continue digging the canal?" Jiang Haiyou asked again.
"Hmm!" Ying Chang hummed lightly.
Now the Great Qin Empire is short of food, the more fertile land the better.
"I understand!" Jiang Haiyou replied with a respectful expression, and then retreated to his seat.
"Report to Your Majesty, I have something to report!" Prime Minister Chang Zifei took a small step forward, compiling the report with a respectful expression.
"Say!" Ying Chang replied indifferently.
"Report to Your Majesty, all the candidates in the imperial examinations are appointed to the designated government offices, so the efficiency of government offices across the country has increased several times!" Chang Zifei reported with a respectful expression.
"That's good!" Ying Chang nodded, and then looked at Capital Censor Chang Qing, "The Metropolitan Procuratorate must keep a close eye on these new officials. If they find that they are corrupt and pervert the law or exploit the common people, they will be arrested immediately!"
"I obey the order!" Chang Qing replied with a respectful expression. After the answer, Chang Qing glanced at Li Fang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. Li Fang also happened to see Chang Qing looking at him. , Li Fang's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately felt a bad premonition.
"Report to Your Majesty, I want to impeach Li Fang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment!" Chang Qing took a step to the right, bending over solemnly to report.
Li Fang's face changed, and he subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his hands were trembling.
Ying Chang frowned, and glanced at Li Fang with a murderous look in his eyes, making the latter terrified.
"What about impeachment?" Ying Chang looked at Chang Qing seriously and asked.
This is the first time that Chang Qing has impeached a minister in the court since he served as the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he is also the second-rank minister!
Chang Qing took out a memorial from his bosom and offered it with both hands. Tang Hua, who had been standing silently next to Ying Chang, immediately stepped down the high platform, took the memorial carefully, then walked up the high platform and handed it to Ying Chang.
Ying Chang unfolded the memorial to watch, and Chang Qing also said at this time: "Your Majesty, Li Yi, brother of Li Mian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, on September [-]th, the eighth year of Sheng Qin, that is, the day before yesterday, Li Yi lost in a gambling game. I lost money, was in a bad mood, and kicked a small peddler’s product, and the peddler knew Li Yi’s background, so he didn’t dare to ask Li Yi to pay him, so he just cursed in a low voice!”
"When Li Yi heard the peddler scolding him, he immediately called his servants to beat the peddler violently. After the beating, Li Yi was still angry. On that night, he set fire to the small peddler's family and faked a fire. The county magistrate of Xianyang County Hua Dong was ordered to investigate the case and find out the real murderer behind the scenes, Li Yi!"
"After Li Yi was arrested, not long after he was imprisoned in the sky prison, the head of the prison received a document from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The document stated that Li Yi was wronged and the real culprit was not him. Li Fang should be released immediately, and innocent people must not be harmed. The head of the prison saw the seal of the Ministry of Punishment under the document, so he let him go!"
"The county magistrate Huadong immediately reported the matter to Jiang Zhong, the county magistrate, and demanded that Li Yi be re-arrested for interrogation. Hua Dong, please inform the Metropolitan Procuratorate of this matter!"
"When the Metropolitan Procuratorate received the case, it immediately conducted a comprehensive investigation into the case, and finally found out that in order to protect Li Yi from the criminal law, Li Fang used his power for personal gain and used public equipment for private use. In this way, the minister impeached Li Fang, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and impeached Xianyang. The magistrate of the county, Jiang Zhong, has seriously neglected his duty, if His Majesty doesn't believe it, I will have someone to prove it!"
"This is real?"
"The censor has said it, and there are all the witnesses and material evidence, so it must be true!"
"Master Li is confused!"
"Yeah, he's only 30 years old, and at the age of 30, he sat on the position of the second-rank Minister of the Ministry of Justice. It can be said that he has a bright future. Now... oh, for a rebellious younger brother, he ruined his great future!"
Civil and military officials sighed one after another, feeling a little pity.
Yingchang's eyes were like swords, and he looked at Li Fang coldly. Li Fang hurried out of the queue of civil servants, knelt in the middle of the hall and shouted: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged!" Jiang Zhong, the county magistrate of Xianyang County, also rushed out to call for injustice. Both of them were dripping with cold sweat and trembling all over.
"Be lenient for confession, strict for resistance, don't force me to declare people to give evidence!" Ying Chang said in a cold tone, a little angry.
Can you not be angry? How long has he been in power? How long has Li Mian been appointed Minister of the Ministry of Punishment? In such a short time, such a big incident has happened, and it is only this trivial matter that kills other people's family. If it is a fight, is it right? Kill other people's entire clan!
This incident happened in Xianyang, the emperor dared to be so presumptuous, if he went outside, it would be fine!
PS: "Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket! Today I only ask for two!"
Chapter 132 Rage! (Seek full order!)
??
Li Fang felt Yingchang's coldness, his face turned pale with fright, and his psychological defense quickly collapsed, crying and shouting: "Your Majesty, since I became an official, I have never embezzled a single amount of money. This incident, I have no other choice. I was born sterile, so I counted on my younger brother to spread the branches and leaves for my Li family, if he died, my Li family would be broken!"
"Your Majesty, I really don't dare to offend Master Li!" Jiang Zhong didn't dare to complain, he could only cry out his difficulties.
boom!sound!
In a fit of rage, Ying Chang slapped the imperial table with his palm, sending sawdust flying everywhere, then he stood up, pointed at Li Fang and said angrily, "You bastard, as the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, don't you know the iron law of killing people and paying for their lives?" Do you still have the face to say that you have no choice but to spread branches and leaves for the sake of the Li family, can I understand that for the sake of your Li family, even I can kill you!"
Hearing the last sentence, Li Fang was so frightened that his whole body went limp, and his whole body almost collapsed to the ground.
"And you, as the county magistrate of Xianyang County, actually suppressed this unjust case in order not to offend a mere minister. Are you afraid of offending Li Fang, not me?" Ying Chang pointed at Jiang Chong again and cursed road.
"I don't dare, I don't dare anymore, I beg your majesty to spare, your majesty!" Jiang Zhong knelt down on the ground, crying and begging for mercy with a face full of fear.
Seeing that Yingchang was so furious, the ministers in the hall were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe for fear of being hurt.
Tang Hua, who was standing beside Yingchang, also turned pale with fright, and dared not move.
"It is passed on to me that Li Yi has committed a heinous crime and deserves to die. He will be taken to the market at noon tomorrow to show the public. Li Fang, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, used his power for personal gain and private use of public equipment. Death crimes are hard to escape. All family property was confiscated, and Xianyang county magistrate Jiang Zhong was responsible for the protection of officials and officials. He seriously dereliction of duty, dismissed him from office, punished him with [-] years of hard labor, and confiscated all family property to comfort the soul of the deceased!" Ying Chang pronounced the verdict in an extremely cold tone.
Li Fang and Jiang Zhong fainted on the spot when they heard the words, they couldn't accept this punishment at all.
Several imperial guards rushed in and dragged out Li Fang and Jiang Chong, who looked like corpses.
"Back to court!" Yingchang's anger still did not dissipate, and he left the Qilin Hall with his sleeves angrily, while Tang Hua hurriedly followed in the former's footsteps.
"Your Majesty is being respectfully sent off, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" All the civil and military officials bowed down and sent them off respectfully.
After Yingchang's figure disappeared from the sight of all the officials, many ministers shook their heads and sighed, just such a trivial matter, the minister of the Ministry of punishment involved himself, and even a county magistrate of Xianyang county.
Today's incident reminded all the ministers present, don't do anything against the law, His Majesty is not a merciful master, and it also made them feel that the Metropolitan Procuratorate is just a dog's head hanging on the heads of all officials Guillotine!
Imperial study room!
"Ugh!"
Ying often sat on the dragon chair and let out a long sigh.
I was really angry today, it was really abominable, just because the small businessman cursed behind his back, he burned the small businessman's family to death, it was really the fate of ordinary people, and the cause of this incident was still Li Yi.
If it weren't for the consideration of waste utilization, I would have wanted to punish the Li family and the Jiang family!
