Cultivation of empire in the world of immortality

Chang'an City, after the Qin and Han Dynasties completed the emperor's enthronement ceremony, a banquet was held in Chang'an Palace to entertain civil servants, generals or foreign envoys. This is the first time for many Beizhou people to come to the capital of Qin. Although the spiritual energy here is sparse, the strength of the people is not weaker than that of those first-class empires in Beizhou, and their mental outlook is even better.

In the palace, everyone exchanged cups and cups, and the huge banquet vaguely formed many small groups, with the civil and military parties being the most conspicuous. The people in the Wangshen Space chatted happily with the Beizhou envoys, and the people from the sect chatted with the teachers of the Shinto Academy. It was hot, but the Qin and Han family were a little unhappy. No minister dared to flatter the Qin and Han couple in front of them, and they would not do this.

After the banquet, it was time to compete for interests. The policies of the Qin Empire were what the envoys from all sides needed to understand urgently. The civil servants of the Qin State made them feel at ease, but the military generals made them frightened. One worshiped peace and the other advocated conquest. The envoys I don’t know how they can coexist peacefully in the court?

Following the pace of the Qin army, Lingqianzhuang gradually penetrated more than half of Wangshen space and one-third of Beizhou's land. This caused heavy losses to various forces. After all, the people trusted Qin's reputation more, and more and more businessmen only recognized Qin's currency. With the Qin army's military suppression, all the forces did not dare to play the trick of passing off inferior goods and driving out good coins with bad money. Greedy people became the Qin army's military exploits. Now, all the forces have no choice but to take this opportunity to let Lingqianzhuang give them the slightest profit. This is because the envoys quoted Queen Ouyang Feiyan's words that happiness alone is not as good as happiness for everyone.

After some negotiations, Ouyang Feiyan agreed to allow vassal countries and countries or forces close to Qin to invest in their domestic Qin Guoling Bank. The one who received preferential treatment was the Tianhuang Empire, and the Qin State gave 40% of the profits to the United Lingqian Yu within its territory.

The envoys had achieved satisfactory financial benefits, so they wanted to continue to work hard in other areas. Except for some gains at the Dan Medical College, they had little success elsewhere. Nowadays, the Executive Yuan is busy with local administrative restructuring and has no spare energy to guide envoys from various countries. It is even more difficult for the military to enter.

Many personnel in Wangshen Space wanted to see the Qin Army's style. Since Wangshen Space would be the empire's second largest source of troops in the future, the Privy Council prepared to organize an exercise to showcase the Qin Army's style after studying it, and reported the plan to the Qin and Han Dynasties. .

After the Qin and Han Dynasties approved it, the Privy Council organized a military exercise codenamed Peace Mission at the Qianshui Lake Camp. The participating troops were the Sixth Army.

On the scenic lakeside grassland, more than 30,000 cavalry demonstrated mass charge, formation change, fire coverage and other subjects. Most of the envoys who were not familiar with military affairs only thought it was good-looking and impressive. Only a few knowledgeable people knew about this army. They are powerful and have experienced the power of the Qin Army to some extent. Fortunately, there are not many elite troops like the Qin Army.

After the exercise, the Privy Council also submitted a report on the development of the Qin Army, making a detailed summary of the Qin Army. Today, the Qin Army has a total of 51 legions, including the Qin Wei Army, the Shenwu Army, the Sirius Army, the First Army to the 48th Army. In addition, it also controls ten legions of the Tianhuang Empire and nearly garrison troops of the subordinate countries. So many troops were fully utilized, but the Privy Council still felt that there were not enough troops.

When Qin Han saw the Privy Council's infantry construction plan, his eyes lit up. The Privy Council proposed that on the basis of the four infantry corps, 45, 46, 47, and 48, three infantry corps should be drawn from the garrison forces of the subject countries, and a three heavy infantry corps as the leader and four light infantry corps as the supplement should be established. Infantry group. The heavy infantry army is mainly equipped with heavy weapons such as crossbows, Modao, javelins, bed crossbows, and catapults, and a small amount is equipped with Tang knives. In terms of organization, the heavy infantry corps is mainly attacked and defended by a strong Modao brigade. Two heavy weapons brigades, each equipped with heavy crossbows and catapults. Two crossbow brigades, plus javelins. There are five brigades in the army, with a thousand large vehicles. The light infantry brigade consists of one Modao brigade, two pike brigades, one crossbow brigade, and one swordsman brigade. The entire army is equipped with carts.

After this round of adjustments, the Qin Army's infantry situation will be greatly improved. The Qin and Han Dynasties summoned ministers from the Executive Yuan to discuss the Qin army's restructuring plan. This aroused strong opposition from the Executive Yuan, who was very dissatisfied with the Privy Council's restructuring plan. Some members believed that there was no need to expand the army. The current size of the army was already large enough, and the pursuit of quantitative expansion of the army should be shifted to improving the quality of the army. Some radical members suggested that the army could be expanded, but half of the cavalry should be converted into infantry. This suggestion aroused collective condemnation from the Privy Council. The administrative committee members took turns calculating the accounts for the Privy Council ministers. The cost of a standard cavalry corps is equivalent to the cost of a heavy infantry corps or three light infantry corps, not to mention three title corps and a heavy cavalry. The army is even more of a gold-eating beast.

Even with the subsidies from the Qin and Han Dynasties, military expenditures still accounted for half of the fiscal revenue, which made the Executive Yuan almost breathless. As a result, fierce quarrels broke out between the civil and military parties.

The Qin and Han Dynasties finally made the decision to pledge taxes and pay 2 billion gold coins and 500 million black spirit stones to Lingqianzhuang. He also approved the Privy Council's military expansion plan, but also proposed that the military's combat effectiveness must be increased by half within one year.

Since the Qin and Han Dynasties expanded their army, the members of the Executive Yuan came to Qin Han to complain every day, and many problems were reported to him. This made Qin Han urgently feel that it was time to inspect the local areas. With the decision made, Qin Han recalled his eldest son Qin Xingguo and ordered him to stay in Chang'an. He took his wife and children on a tour. The accompanying escort was the Sirius Army.

The Qin and Han Dynasties chose the Feiying Plain as their first stop. After crossing the Tianshen Mountains, the Qin and Han Dynasties came to the Feiying Plain. After great development in recent years, the population has doubled, various industries have been vigorously developed, and people's living standards have improved. Big improvement. Under the protection of guards, the children traveled to various places. At a young age, they also accepted the tasks given by their father to understand the conditions of ordinary children. Therefore, while Qin Han and his wives were listening to reports from local officials, many villages in the Feiying Plain formed teams to welcome teams of wolf riders, and the children among them were enchanted by the stars. At first sight, they looked like they were nobles, but people didn't know they were princes or princesses from the empire. Amid people's curiosity, these children came directly to play with the children in the village, and left after dark. It was not until two days later that people knew that they were princes and princesses.

Qin Han also went down to the grassroots level. He did not make any big fanfare. He and Ouyang Feiyan and other women dressed up as businessmen and went to various places to chat with the people about their daily life and listen to the truth. From the mouths of the people, Qin and Han also found that although the people were relatively satisfied with their current lives, their tax burden was also increasing. From the standards set by themselves to the people, it increased by 50%, and there was a trend of increasing year by year. Especially the poll tax, which has been ordered to be reduced by half, but the people still pay it in full. Fortunately, the overall burden on the people is 30% lower than in previous times, and we still have a comparative advantage in the minds of the people.

Qin Han visited Qin Jun's family again. They were very satisfied with the national policy and basically got the preferential treatment they deserved. After watching it for two or three days, Qin Han also discovered many problems. The biggest problem was the lack of information at the grassroots level, and many policies of the central government were not understood.

Qin Han said nothing and patrolled the south of Xizhou all the way, but his mood became worse and worse. The issue of officialdom had attracted his great attention.

After inspecting the southern Qin and Han Dynasties, he returned to Xihai City and then inspected all the way from west to east. The living standards of the people in the north are not as good as those in the south, but their burdens are far less than those in the south, and they are extremely supportive of the empire's foreign expansion.

After traveling around and returning to Chang'an, Qin Han thought alone for three days. After having a clue in his mind, he summoned administrative officials to discuss the real situation in Xizhou and asked the Executive Yuan to discuss solutions. In addition, the reform of the local administrative system was accelerated at his request.

After this inspection of Xizhou, government-run newspapers such as "Imperial Government Affairs Daily" and "Business Report" were successively established. The Qin and Han Dynasties required that "Imperial Government Affairs Daily" should be distributed to village groups, and the government regularly sent people to read the newspapers or check whether they were distributed and whether there were lack. Following the introduction of a series of policies to benefit the people, the people of the empire ushered in new hope.

Qin and Han did not blame Quelutana. She did an excellent job in hosting news and entertainment work, and her ability to publicize and generate income was very strong. But Quelutana still curried favor with Qin Han and used her beauty to serve Qin Han tenderly, forcing him to increase investment and make her a veritable king of entertainment theory. Subsequently, he made a huge contribution to the promotion of the royal family.
