The Jagged Empire of Daqin

Zhang Feizi's face quickly turned red, revealing an unconcealable excitement. Sure enough, he guessed that Mr. Zhuang's eight shi grains per mu had nothing to do with technology at all, but depended on another high-yielding rice seed.

The great tree of the Great Qin Dynasty will grow thousands of feet tall!

Ying Chang frowned, looked up at Zhang Feizi and asked, "The more I listen, the more confused I become. Zhang Aiqing, what's going on?"

Mr. Zhuang took up the conversation again, and replied solemnly: "In the middle of yesterday, Prime Minister Zuo called the city's farming masters to gather together, and the poor people were among them. Prime Minister Zuo asked us if we can make the crops last for many seasons , get several times as much grain as an acre of land.”

"Many masters shook their heads again and again, sighing that they couldn't, but Caomin can grow an acre of land several times more grain. In the autumn of 25 years, Caomin produced eight stones of grain per mu, and in the autumn of 26, Caomin produced eight stones and seven buckets of grain per mu."

"The grains produced by Caomin Liangtian are not only large in quantity, but also full of grains, which are many times more fragrant than ordinary rice. The reason why Caomin Liangtian can grow grains that are different from ordinary grains is all due to the rice seeds in your majesty's hands. It was carefully cultivated by Caomin two years ago!"

"But on that day, the grassroots were unwilling to contribute to the court because of self-interest, so they fabricated lies and fooled the Prime Minister Zuo. Therefore, today, the court will carry out a new policy to benefit the people and seek happiness and well-being for the people of the world. The court is always for the people. Your majesty It is a disgrace to the people of Qin to share the worries of the people, but the grassroots are extremely selfish!"

"Caomin feels ashamed today. I hereby borrow the hand of Prime Minister Zuo to enter the palace and ask His Majesty to punish Caomin. No matter what crime His Majesty inflicts on Caomin, Caomin will be convinced and will never complain!"

boom!

To Ying Chang, this sentence was undoubtedly a cannonball that exploded beside his ears!

Eight stones per acre!

Although Ying Chang doesn't know how to farm, he also knows that the yield of one mu of land is no more than three stones, and the average is about two stones. If it weren't for the large amount of fertile land in the Great Qin Dynasty, it would not be able to support nearly 4000 million people, and it would be impossible Become the largest supplier of grain to the Kyushu countries.

Eight shi of grain per acre of land means that the output of Daqin Liangtian will quadruple. In one year, there will be at least [-] to [-] million shi of grain.

Ying Chang's concentration is very strong, but when he heard the good news, his face was bloodshot, and his excitement was completely exposed on his face. While excited, Ying Chang quickly got up from the dragon chair, and hurriedly walked to Mr. Zhuang. In front of him, he respectfully helped Elder Zhuang up, and said in an excited tone:

"Old Zhuang, no matter whether this is true or not, I won't blame you, because it's normal for people to be selfish, not to mention you, even I have selfishness!"

"Your Majesty said so, the grass people are even more ashamed!" Zhuang Lao's eyes turned red, and he deeply understood how ridiculous his previous thoughts were.

With such a majesty and such a court, what does he hate!

Zhang Feizi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhuang, don't be ashamed. You have to know that once your rice seeds spread all over the country, our Great Qin's national power will once again break through to a new level. At that time, you will be one of our great heroes. Credit, if Mr. Zhuang is still ashamed, wouldn't he be living in the world without face?"

Elder Zhuang was very moved, tears flowed down his face, and his body was trembling with emotion. Fortunately, Chang Ying supported him tightly, so that Elder Zhuang was not in danger of falling to the ground. Pei Ji also moved a chair at this time, and Ying Chang Chang then supported Mr. Zhuang on the chair and asked Mr. Zhuang to sit down.

The emperor personally helped him into the seat, which undoubtedly moved Mr. Zhuang even more. For a while, he burst into tears and was full of remorse.

After a while, when Mr. Zhuang's mood stabilized, Ying Chang asked respectfully, "Mr. Zhuang, is rice seed cultivation complicated?"

PS:

The bloody Ying Chang stood on the cliff, looked up at the sky, and shouted sadly: "Gods, why don't you vote for a monthly ticket to help me, the world is so close to unification!"

Chapter 860 Ying Chang's Excitement!

When mentioning the housekeeping skills, Mr. Zhuang was full of energy and quickly wiped the tears on his face, "It is not simple to say, and it is not complicated to say that, as long as there are enough people and follow the grass-roots instructions, new rice seeds can be cultivated. However, the grassroots cannot guarantee that the new rice seeds will be the same as the old ones, and they have no requirements on the environment, and may not be able to be planted in some poor mountains and bad water areas, please be careful with this point, Your Majesty!"

"Haha!" Ying Chang smiled disapprovingly, "It's simple. Didn't the eldest prince mention the experiment last night? We can find a few acres of land all over the country as experimental fields and see the results. If they can all grow, then It means that the new rice seeds can be the same as the old rice seeds, without any requirements for the environment, and then the new rice seeds can be covered all over the country before next spring!"

"Good idea!" Zhuang Lao nodded in praise.

"This matter is sponsored by the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, and the six departments are assisted. Mr. Zhuang temporarily takes the position of the sixth-rank official of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion. If this matter is done well, I will reward you!" Ying Chang ordered decisively.

"Thank you, minister!" Zhang Feizi bowed down respectfully and replied!

Elder Zhuang got up from his chair quite excitedly, raised his hand tremblingly and saluted, and said, "Your Majesty's grace is mighty, and the grassroots will surely follow the power of dogs and horses!"

Yingchang grabbed Mr. Zhuang's withered hand, and said gratefully: "Mr. Zhuang is so benevolent and righteous. On behalf of the 4000 million people of Daqin, I thank Mr. Zhuang. Don't worry, Mr. Zhuang. No matter whether the new rice species can adapt to any environment, I will surely With many rewards, I will never let down Lao Zhuang's loyalty to the country!"

"With His Majesty's words, the grass people will die without regret!" Elder Zhuang was so moved that tears rolled down his cheeks again.

Ying Chang first patted Elder Zhuang's withered hands, then let go of them, and said apologetically, "I still have a lot of government affairs to do, so Zhang Aiqing will see you off on my behalf!"

"Grass people don't dare to be!"

"It's okay, Zhang Aiqing, Mr. Zhuang will leave it to you!"

"I understand!"

After several speeches, Zhang Feizi took Mr. Zhuang out of the imperial study room, and when the figures of the two disappeared from Ying Chang's eyes, Ying Chang immediately ran back to the imperial platform, picked up the kit on the imperial platform, and poured all the rice seeds On the royal platform.

There are not many rice seeds, only a handful, but Ying Chang can see hundreds of millions of grains from them.

Looking at the rice seeds on the table, Ying Chang couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and sighed: "I finally understand why Zhang Xiang was so anxious to see me last night, and he also proposed the policy of the imperial court subsidizing the medical expenses. If I expected it to be true, One of Zhuang Yan's relatives and friends must be seriously ill, and Zhang Xiang used this as a breakthrough point to attack Zhuang Yan's inner defense, make him ashamed, and take the initiative to hand over the new rice seeds!"

"Zhang Xiang is really a great talent. He didn't insult his name, nor did he live up to my great expectations for him. Once this new rice seed covers the whole country, the pace of my Great Qin's unification of the world can be shortened by five years. Within 15 years, the Great Qin It must be unified!"

Pei Ji's blood boiled when he heard this, and he bent over excitedly and shouted: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the unification of the world is imminent!"

Ying Chang sat back on the Diaolong throne by himself, looked at Pei Ji solemnly, and said in a neutral tone: "Unification of the world can't just be said without practice, you should immediately send Zuo Zhen and Lu Quan to pass on my secret decree to summon the prisoners." The general and the general of the Zhenjun returned to Beijing in secret!"

General Ma Daudao, the General of Polu, and General Luo Xing of the Town Army, the former guards Manshan Pass and is in charge of the border between Qin and Xia, while the latter guards Hulao Pass and is in charge of the border between Qin and Zhao!

Pei Ji was startled, and recalled two frontier generals at once. This is preparation for a two-front war!

"The minister obeys the order!"

While Pei Ji was surprised, he didn't forget to answer.

"Don't tell anyone about the secret recall of the two generals, especially in the palace!" Ying Chang's eyes flashed a gloomy look, murderous intent bloomed!

A few days ago, Xu Shuimi told him that Concubine Ning Zhao Ke’s dowry maids from the Zhao Dynasty were wantonly buying people’s hearts in the palace, and several maids had affairs with the imperial guards. He didn’t know if this was Ning Concubine Zhao Ke gave her permission, but just in case, she had to learn to keep her mouth shut.

Pei Ji frowned slightly, understanding Ying Chang's meaning, but still asked with a puzzled expression: "Your Majesty, since you are worried that the harem has the eyes and ears of the enemy, why didn't you order a thorough investigation?"

"A thorough investigation must be done, but not now!" Ying Chang said calmly.

If we investigate this matter now, the scene may be ugly, because the dowry maid buys people's hearts, there must be an envoy behind it, the envoy is either Zhao Chaoting or Zhao Ke, if Zhao Ke really instigated, the dragon species in Zhao Ke's belly is too innocent It will become a victim of the political game between the two countries.

Ying Chang doesn't want his own child to become a victim!

If it wasn't Zhao Ke's instigation, it was the Zhao court's instigation, the officials of Daqin would definitely impeach Zhao Ke, expel Zhao Ke and her unborn son from Qin, and become the victims of Zhao's court against Daqin, or wait for her to give birth to the dragon species , the child stayed, and she was expelled from Qin State, neither the former nor the latter was what Ying Chang wanted to see.

Apart from these two points, Ying Chang had other plans. Didn't Zhao Chaoting want to get news from the Qin Palace?Then use the tricks and play a big one at that time, let Zhao Chaoting taste the taste of playing with fire and being roasted by fire, and then he will also know who is instructing the maid to buy people's hearts.

It's not Zhao Ke who is the best, it's not Zhao Ke, he still has a chance to save him, if it's really her, what awaits her will be a dark palace forever, only the poor child.

Seeing that Ying Chang was unwilling to continue explaining, Pei Ji didn't dare to continue asking. He immediately stepped back, sat on a small table beside him, wrote a secret letter, and finally sealed it with the Emperor Qin's seal, and handed it to Lu Quan and Cao Zhen to pass it out of the palace. Secret letter, while Ying Chang continued to review the memorial!

Time passed slowly, and the days passed by!

With the passage of time, the policy of subsidizing medical expenses has become more and more perfect, making the people in Xianyang City smile every day, while the people outside Xianyang City are envious and jealous. Fortunately, in early March, the Pharmacy Department was formally established, and there were more and more people in the country overnight. A pharmacy department was set up, resulting in a subsidy treatment policy covering the whole country!

In less than three months, Daqin implemented three new policies to the whole country, the first one: the nursing home system, the second one: the pension system, and the third one: the subsidy system for medical expenses. It aroused strong repercussions, and the prestige of the Great Qin court grew day by day!

The soldiers of the major camps were also encouraged when they learned of the three new policies of the imperial court.

Such a great Qin, such a court, such a majesty, deserves their allegiance!

At the same time, because of these three new policies, people from all over the world were attracted to Qin. There was no way. Treat the people like a dynasty.

Chapter 861 The fifth prince Ying Le is born!

Some ambitious courts, such as the Zhao court and the Chu court, also want to copy the new three policies of the Qin Dynasty, but their strength does not allow it. How much money will be spent every year to maintain the operation of the new three policies is absolutely astronomical , can't afford it at all.

Indeed, the Qin Dynasty set aside 4000 million taels for the nursing home system and pension system in the first year, and more in the second year, because as time goes by, the number of elderly people will increase, and the coverage of nursing homes and pensions will increase. The higher the price, the higher the court expenditure will be.

4000 million taels of silver, compared to the annual financial revenue of the Zhao court and the Chu court, playing these two new policies will require a lot of power, not to mention the new policy of subsidizing and treating diseases that costs more. Could it be that the army is no longer supported?The officials are no longer supported?

How much silver does the new policy of subsidizing medical treatment need to maintain?The Qin Dynasty could not give an accurate figure, but it can be said responsibly that from the second day of the first lunar month to the beginning of March, the Great Qin Dynasty spent more than 100 million taels of silver on the new policy of subsidizing and treating diseases.

More than 100 million taels of silver may seem small, but you must know that this new policy has just begun to cover the whole country. That is to say, just one city of Xianyang will cost the court more than 100 million taels of silver in three months. Xianyang City has a population of 25. , compared to the nearly 4000 million population of Daqin, it is only ten cents in nine years.

It is conceivable that the policy of subsidizing medical expenses will cost the Daqin court. I am afraid that it will not be able to get it without hundreds of millions of taels of silver. People who were seriously ill were healed, a life was saved, and the number of people who died of illness was reduced, which was of great help to the increase of population.

While Daqin implemented the New Three Governments, the new rice seed project was also being carried out in secret. Experimental fields in various places had been selected. To prevent the new rice seed from being stolen by other countries, Prime Minister Zuo's government had come up with a set of regulations.

First of all, after the new rice seeds have passed the test results in the experimental field, you can only buy new rice seeds from the government, and there is a limit. The limit rule is calculated based on the number of good fields. New rice varieties cannot exceed the number of fertile fields.

There are also strict inspections at all gates across the country to prevent new rice seeds from flowing into other countries. Local governments must also do a good job in cracking down on smuggling and traders, so as to cut off the possibility of new rice seeds flowing into other countries fundamentally and in the process!

The 27th year of Shengqin, April [-]th!

It's night time!

Xianyang City, the Imperial Palace!

As night falls, the stars are shrouded, and the huge palace is covered with silver and white clothes, which is so beautiful!

"Wow!!"

The quiet night was broken by a cry, and in an instant, the maids and eunuchs of Bixiao Palace began to get busy with nervous expressions, and Bixiao Palace was also brightly lit, just like daytime.

Tonight is the night when Concubine Ning Zhao Ke gave birth to a dragon species!

Outside the main hall of Bixiao Palace, Ying Chang, Yang Xiao, Tang Hua, Zhao Mu, Tian Yue, Wei Shuyi and other concubines stood in front of the door.

When he became a father for the first time, when his concubine gave birth to a dragon species, Ying Chang was very nervous, but now he is used to this kind of scene, and he is not nervous at all. He only hopes that Zhao Ke will give birth quickly, and then look at the child, Then you can go back to the imperial study to review the memorials and deal with political affairs.

When a loud cry sounded, Ying Chang breathed a sigh of relief, and it was finally over.

Not long after, the gate of the main hall of Bixiao Palace was opened from the inside, and a midwife officer with a bright smile on her face walked out of the hall with a baby in her arms, and walked towards Ying Chang, "Your Majesty, it is a white and fat girl. Prince!"

The midwife officer smiled and said, while handing the baby to Ying Chang, Ying Chang took the baby and held it in his arms, maybe there was a kind of magic power in him, the baby who was crying and making a fuss suddenly stopped crying, white tender and small The limbs are constantly swinging.

lovely!

Looking at the baby boy in his arms, Ying Chang showed a loving smile on his face. After a short period of contemplation, he smiled lightly and said, "From now on, this is my Fifth Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, named Le, named Ying Le!"

After taking the name, Ying Chang returned the newly born fifth prince Ying Le to the midwife, and after the midwife took the fifth prince Ying Le, Ying Chang turned to look at Queen Yang Xiao, "I'll leave it to you, I still have Hurry up and go!"

After finishing speaking, Ying Chang left Bixiao Palace with Pei Ji and a group of Xianyang palace guards without looking back, and let Yang Xiao, the master of the harem, take charge of the overall situation.

After leaving Bixiao Palace, Ying Chang and his group went straight to the Imperial Study Room. After two incense sticks, Ying Chang and Pei Ji walked into the brightly lit Imperial Study Room, while the rest of the guards stood guard outside.

"Report to Your Majesty, Lord Minister of the Ministry of War seeks to see you, and is waiting outside the palace to announce!"

Ying Chang hadn't sat down on the dragon chair when Xu Shui, the chief of the Zhongwu Guard who was still guarding outside the hall just now, walked into the hall to report.

Ying Chang first sat on the dragon chair, adjusted his sleeves, smoothed his robe, and sat upright, then raised his head to look at Xu Shui, and asked in a calm tone, "Master Yang didn't say what's the matter?"

Xu Shui bent down respectfully and replied: "It seems that the news came from the Wuyang Navy, but I don't know the details!"

"Navy?"

Ying Chang narrowed his eyes slightly, flashed a few flashes of light, and immediately replied: "Then what are you waiting for, let him in quickly!"

"Obey!" Xu Shui responded quickly, turned around and ran towards the outside of the hall.

After about a stick of incense, Yang Ze, Minister of War, led by Xu Shui, entered the imperial study room. When Yang Ze entered the imperial study room, Ying Chang had already started reviewing the memorial. After hearing Yang Ze's footsteps, Ying Chang While reviewing the memorial, Chang asked straight to the point: "What's the situation with the navy?"

Yang Ze continued to walk forward, and when he was only three steps away from the imperial platform, he stopped, took out a memorial from his arms, and presented it with respectful hands, Pei Ji immediately stepped forward when he saw this , took the memorial in Yang Ze's hands.

"Read it directly!"

Pei Ji was about to put the memorial on the imperial platform, but after hearing Ying Chang's words, he unfolded the memorial, stared at the content of the memorial and read: "Mr. Attacking with fists, he successively wiped out many warships of the Yin Army's navy, and finally defeated the Yin Army's four major navy with the power of a Type-A gun-laden warship, forcing Yin Li, the king of the East China Sea, to surrender!"

"The governor of the capital has sent people to escort Yin Liyi to Xianyang. The Ministry of War can send people along the way to protect him from accidents. The governor of the capital will continue to sit in the Wuyang Navy and supervise the construction of warships, in order to make our warships possible in the shortest possible time. The power of the Great Qin Sea is fully formed!"

"In addition, I would like to ask the Ministry of War to inform Your Majesty that there are still 50 people in Yandao. These people were forcibly taken away from Wuzhou and Fuzhou when Yin Li was defeated and retreated to Yandao in the past. I hope the imperial court can treat them properly. Besides, There are still 9 captive sailors, and I hope the imperial court can treat them properly!"

Chapter 862 Secret Order Ma Bold Luo Xing!

"In the decisive battle of Salt Island, our navy sank a total of 61 large warships, 210 medium-sized warships, and [-] small warships, killing [-] enemies and seriously injuring [-] of them. Except for slight damage, there is no loss at all! Yin Hai, the commander of the navy, wrote it himself!"

Ying Chang heaved a sigh of relief as if relieved of a heavy burden. For a long time, the Wuyang Navy had not sent any news, which made him worry that Yin Hai would not be successful in his mission. Now he finally got a reply and defeated Yin Hai with a Type-A gun-carrying warship. Li four naval divisions forced Yin Li to surrender.

Relieved, Ying Chang felt relaxed. He leaned his head back and said with a calm smile, "From now on, I, Daqin, have finally completed the unification of the north. You don't have to worry about threats from the sea anymore. You can let go." Go south to conquer!"

"I congratulate Your Majesty, great victory!"

"Your Majesty's blessings are equal to the sky, and the unification of the Great Qin has become inevitable!"

Congratulations to Yang Ze and Pei Ji for their compilations with smiles on their faces!

Ying Chang got up from the dragon chair, walked leisurely to Yang Ze's side, looked at the night outside the hall calmly and said: "A Type-A cannon can sweep across the northern waters of the East China Sea, if the Wuyang Navy and the Haozhou Navy Completely formed, the sea of ​​the world is all my Qin Hai!"

Yang Ze bent down respectfully and wrote: "Your Majesty, once the Daqin navy is formed, the coastal dynasty will be under the threat of our Daqin all the time, and it will have a huge effect on defeating Han, Chu, and Zhao. !"

Ying Chang nodded in agreement, "That's right, as long as the navy is formed, I, Daqin Facxia, can attack both land and water. It will definitely be a huge disaster for the enemy country. Write back to Yin Hai and ask him to hurry up and build it." Warships must be launched in the spring of next year, and the Wuyang Navy and Haozhou Navy will be fully formed!"

Hearing this, Yang Ze seemed to have sensed something, and immediately couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty plans to conquer Xia next year?"

Ying Chang did not answer Yang Ze's question, but asked calmly, "How is the Xia Dynasty doing now?"

Yang Ze pondered for a moment before replying: "Xia Di Ji Zhan has been taken over by his four princes, and the current Xia Dynasty is already a colosseum for four princes. put down!"

Ying Chang couldn't help laughing in his heart, thinking, how did Ji Zhan become the emperor, it's so stupid to be ostracized by his own son.

"This is a good opportunity!" Ying Chang's eyes gleamed, and a huge conspiracy rose in his heart!
