The Jagged Empire of Daqin

"Your Majesty...what is Your Majesty talking about..." Zhao Ke hesitated in panic.

"I don't know what I'm talking about, so just listen carefully, you don't need to answer!"

"Actually, I already knew that you had a problem, but do you know why I still brought up Xuan Zhao's attack on Xia in front of the ministers? Because I want to use your hand to make the Zhao Dynasty relax its vigilance and make the Zhao Dynasty I don't think I will cut him down!"

"I also think that the Zhao Dynasty will not pass the news on to the Xia Dynasty in order to protect you. In this way, I have deceived both the Xia Dynasty and the Zhao Dynasty. I can kill two birds with one stone. When you hear this, you know what I mean. Do you mean it?"

"That's right, my real intention is to attack the two dynasties of Xia and Zhao at the same time. Unfortunately, I underestimated the ruthlessness of the Zhao Dynasty, and even disregarded your safety to pass the news to the Xia Dynasty. I also intend to unite with the rest of the world to attack our great Qin Dynasty. !"

"I have sent an order to Hulao Pass and Manshan Pass to stop the Southern Expedition in March next year. I am not afraid, nor do I intend to seek peace, but to give the world a chance and give them time to gather coalition forces. I want to breathe a sigh of relief. Destroy them!"

"I have already added 50 troops to the southern border, and now there are 130 million Qin troops on the southern border of Daqin, all of whom are elite soldiers and commanded by strong generals. The imperial conquest, unifying the northwest of Kyushu!"

Ying often told all about his plan without any reservations.

Zhao Ke's heart was full of turmoil. He didn't expect that Ying Chang knew that he had a problem, and he didn't expect that Ying Chang didn't take the opportunity to start the war in advance, but gave the world a chance to form a coalition army.

Is this hubris or self-confidence?

"Your Majesty really wants to destroy Zhao?" Zhao Ke exclaimed.

At this point, she didn't show her feet, but only showed the attitude she should have.

If Ying Chang hadn't identified Zhao Ke as the real culprit behind the scenes, he would have thought Zhao Ke was wronged.

"From now on, the sons of Daqin have never forgotten the unification. Even if I die in battle, Chaozhongwu dies in battle, the next Chaowu, the next generation of Daqin Emperor, will inherit my ambition to complete unification. On the road to unification, gods block and kill gods, demons Block and eliminate demons!" Ying Chang said expressionlessly.

Chapter 898 Declare war on the nations!

Hearing this, Zhao Ke understood the meaning of Ying Chang's words, which was to tell her, don't think about killing him, just think that it can end Daqin's dominance of the world, Daqin now has the ambition to unify, no one can Suppress.

Even if it is suppressed, it will come back to life one day.

The unification of the world is a foregone conclusion, no one can stop it, block it, kill without mercy!

"Your Majesty, Da Zhao is..."

Ying Chang suddenly interrupted: "I know that the Zhao Dynasty is your mother country, but what about your mother country? Can't I destroy your mother country? The mother country of my mother's mother is still the Jin Dynasty. Isn't it destroyed by me? Before long, the Zhao Dynasty will completely perish, and Zhao people will become Qin people forever!"

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. From now on, you can stay here. I will send someone to serve you, but you can't leave Bixiao Palace. As for the reason, you know it well. Even if you don't admit it, the people around you have such a big incident, you, the master, should also accept the punishment!"

After Ying Chang finished speaking, he turned and left indifferently, while Zhao Ke sat on the spot in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking, and Ying Chang didn't care what she was thinking. She is now a pawn in the eyes of Zhao Wangchao , in Ying Chang's eyes, she is also an abandoned child, useless, and doesn't care what she thinks at all.

After Ying Chang finished handling the matter, he went back to the imperial study room to review the memorial, and Pei Ji also returned to the imperial study room soon, telling Ying Chang that all the offenders had been killed...

Xianyang City!

Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the edict said: Zuo Prime Minister Zhang Feizi's implementation of the system of subsidizing medical expenses has contributed to the community, and the success of the new rice seeds has contributed to the community. From now on, I will worship the right prime minister of the Qin Dynasty and take charge of the country's political affairs. Prime Minister Zuo was succeeded by Yang Ze, Shangshu of the Ministry of War

Blessed by heaven, the emperor issued an imperial edict: Zhuang Yan, a citizen in the northern suburbs of Xianyang City, has contributed to the cultivation of new rice seeds in Daqin Sheji and Jiangshan, which has contributed to the unification of the world. Ji Hou

Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: Since I ascended the throne, I have made great efforts to govern, vigorously mobilize horses and horses, and aim to unify the world. In the seventh year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, I regained the imperial power; Nanyang four counties!

From the 12th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty to the 14th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, in two years, I led the Great Qin Iron Cavalry to conquer the Northwest Desert, expelled the vicious Qiang people from outside the boundary mountains, and turned the Huns into Qin people. Since then, the grasslands have been all the land of the Great Qin Dynasty; In this year, I led the Xuanjia Army to attack the Yan Dynasty far away, and the troops came under the capital of Emperor Wuyang!

In the 20th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, it took a year for the tiger and wolf division of the Great Qin Dynasty to destroy the Jin Dynasty, and took over the nine counties of Jin; The unification of the world is one step closer!

The unification of the world is for the people of the world. The reason why the world has frequent wars and wars is precisely because the countries coexist and attack each other for mutual benefit, making the common people miserable. Every dynasty is established and every dynasty is destroyed. It is the people of Li who suffer !

Only when the world is unified and the world is unified, can we develop the peace of the ages. However, the monarchs of the countries are self-interested and unwilling to unify peacefully. I would like to tell the nations that those who surrender to Qin will not die, and those who resist Qin will be killed!

"Three announcements at once, each of which is heavy news!"

"How can a grass-roots man become a marquis? Are you kidding me? What's the meaning of this new rice seed? What's the use?"

"You don't know this, do you? I heard that this new rice variety can produce eight stones of grain per mu, which is four times that of the original!"

"real or fake?"

"Cheat you to have food?"

"Haha, if it's true, Fenghou is worthy of the name, I accept it!"

"Can the new rice seeds be bought? I can't wait."

"Why do you pay attention to the new rice seeds? Isn't the imperial court's declaration of war on the nations more powerful than the other two declarations?"

"Da Qin is awesome!"

"The nations are going to attack Qin, it seems that a world-shattering war is about to break out!"

"My Great Qin will surely win!"

"The nations don't look at how much they are. I, Daqin, have seven or eight million armors. What are the nations going to do to fight us? It's an act of courting death. Let's see if the nations are not blown up this time!"

"I heard that the imperial court has issued an order to increase troops on the border."

"To be honest, I'm a little nervous. I don't know how many troops the Allied Forces have. It shouldn't be tens of millions, right?"

"Ten million? Impossible!"

"It's not impossible. It depends on whether the countries pay attention to the attack on Qin. If they pay attention to it, if all the countries gather soldiers from all over the country and recruit young and strong, there may be tens of millions of troops!"

"Don't be afraid, I, Da Qin, are all elites, and my generals are like clouds!"

"Your Majesty is here, King Wu is here, what kind of storm they can stir up, from what I can see, I am afraid that in my lifetime, I will be able to see Great Qin rule the world, I am really looking forward to it!"

"Also looking forward to it!"

The three stones stirred up thousands of waves, and the announcement was issued. The whole city of Emperor Xianyang was boiling, and the streets and alleys were all discussing what was announced today. A small group of people are very worried, worried that Daqin will lose.

Of course, the new rice planting incident also caused quite a stir. Compared with the court's declaration of war on the nations, the sensation caused by this incident is like a small splash, which is not worthy of attention.

Time passed slowly, and with the passage of time, the news of Daqin declaring war on other countries spread throughout the prefectures and counties of Daqin, and spread to Qi, Zhao, Xia, Han, Chu, Shu, Yue, Lu, Shen, Qing at a very fast speed. Waiting for the major dynasties, and 27 vassal states!

The Great Qin Dynasty is also mobilizing the army urgently. On the official road to the southern border, banners are flying, dust is flying, and long dragons composed of black armored troops are marching towards their respective passes. Most of the black armored dragons are retired soldiers from the reserve battalion. Call them back and let them go south.

For this battle, Daqin is full of fighting spirit, especially the soldiers, want to take this opportunity to make great achievements, and those generals who have not yet become famous are also planning to take this opportunity to become famous and become famous generals in one fell swoop.

The title of knight and general is right in front of you!

The 28th year of Shengqin, the first day of the first lunar month, and the Spring Festival!

Chen Shi!

Great Qin Dynasty, Xianyang Imperial Capital, Imperial Palace, Kylin Palace!

On the high platform in the Qilin Hall, Ying Chang was wearing a five-clawed black dragon crown suit, a nine-pronged flat-topped dragon crown on his head, and a dragon and phoenix sword hanging on his waist. The side is still the same as usual.

The officer queue was crowded with people, and the military officer queue was empty except for Bai Qi.

"How is the progress of the alliance of the nations?" Ying Chang asked with a blank expression, looking at the officials without anger.

Chapter 899 Court Proposal!

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Feizi, the prime minister on the right, took a small step forward and bowed down respectfully to make a report: "Your Majesty, according to news reports, after the Xia Dynasty, the Han Dynasty has announced to attack Qin. Although Qi and Chu have not yet It is announced that the Qin Dynasty will be conquered, but the great-grandson of the empress dowager of the Qi Dynasty has already gone to Wuzhong Kingdom to have a banquet, and the emperor of Chu Dynasty has also gone to Wuzhong Kingdom to have a banquet!"

"Yi Chen saw that although Qi Chu did not announce the attack on Qin, his intention has been clearly shown. It is estimated that the monarchs of all countries will reach an agreement at the Banquet of Endless Kingdoms, and jointly send troops to form a coalition to attack our Great Qin!"

Ying Chang nodded when he heard the words, and continued to ask: "How many troops does Ai Qing think the coalition forces will have?"

Zhang Feizi frowned, hesitated for a while, then raised his hand and replied: "Your Majesty, I can't guess how many troops the coalition army has, but I can assure you that even if the coalition army has tens of millions of troops, it is nothing more than a strong foreign army. Crash!"

"Okay, the coalition army, how dare you act presumptuously in front of my Qin army!"

"This time, we must teach the other countries a good lesson and let them know that they did not provoke Daqin!"

"After all, the coalition forces are coalition forces. They only unite on the outside but not on the heart. They can't defeat the Qin army like an iron barrel. This time, my Great Qin will wipe out at least half of the living forces of the countries. I believe that within 15 years, we will be able to destroy the countries and unite the world!"

"This battle must be won, there is no doubt!"

As soon as Zhang Feizi finished speaking, the ministers immediately agreed that the coalition forces were vulnerable, not only the ministers thought so, but Ying Chang also thought so.

In terms of military strength, the Qin army now has 150 million regular troops, 20 sailors, 700 million soldiers in the reserve battalion, and more than 130 million soldiers who have retired. Adding up all of them, the Qin army has 1000 million troops, plus the ugly With the bull-style artillery, Daqin has no reason to lose, and he will win the game.

It is too late for the countries to join forces. If they had joined forces to attack Qin five years earlier, it is really possible for the countries to succeed. Even if the Great Qin is not destroyed, it will return to its original shape. It is a pity that the countries are lucky, thinking that the Qin Dynasty will be as poor as the Wei Dynasty. Wu, exhausted the treasury.

"Confidence is a good thing, but don't be arrogant, and don't underestimate the nations. This battle is about whether we can unify Great Qin. I hope that Great Qin will be [-]% spirited and cautious!" Ying Chang shouted in a cold voice with a solemn expression.

"Your Majesty would like to obey His Majesty's instructions!" All the ministers bowed down and shouted back.

Immediately afterwards, Jia Luo, Minister of the Household Department, walked out of the official queue, came to the center of the hall, bowed to Ying Chang with a respectful and solemn expression, and made a salutary report: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"Quasi-playing!" Ying Chang said.

Jia Luo straightened his back, looked ahead, raised his hand and wrote back with a serious smile: "Your Majesty, as of December 27, the 430th year of Shengqin, according to repeated strict investigations by the Ministry of Households and various local governments, the Great Qin Pass The new population of the five prefectures is 30 million, with 180 births, old ages, illnesses and deaths, and the three prefectures outside the customs have a new population of 20 million, with births, old ages, illnesses and deaths of 560, and the total population of Daqin has increased by [-] million throughout the year!"

"Today, the population of Daqin Pass has reached 170 million, of which Beizhou has 40 million, Zhongzhou has 890 million, Dongzhou has 740 million, Fuzhou has 310 million and Wuzhou has 190 million. !"

"Among the five prefectures in the Great Qin Pass, Shudong prefecture has the largest population increase, with a new population of 120 million a year, followed by Zhongzhou and Beizhou. Fuzhou and Wuzhou have also recovered their original populations!"

"The total population of the three prefectures outside Daqin Pass reached 300 million, of which Guzhou accounted for 450 million, Yuanzhou accounted for 430 million, Ningzhou accounted for 420 million, and the total population inside and outside Daqin Pass reached 470 million!"

"As of December 27, 500, according to the statistics of Shengqin, according to repeated investigations by the Ministry of Household Affairs and local governments, 7000 million mu of good farmland has been added in the whole country of Daqin, and the growth rate has declined. Two million acres!"

"There is also the imperial government's policy of subsidizing medical expenses. Throughout the year, the imperial court spent 800 million taels of silver due to the policy of subsidizing medical expenses. Although the loss was large, it also reduced the number of births, old ages, illnesses and deaths by more than half in Daqin, and indirectly provided more than [-] million taels of silver. Thousands of labor!"

"Not counting this year's fiscal revenue, the treasury now has 18 billion taels of silver and 780 million shi of grain!"

Before the government subsidized medical expenses policy, the number of births, old ages, illnesses and deaths each year inside and outside the Daqin Pass, compared to the national population of a vassal state, resulted in the population not being able to skyrocket.

The Great Qin court, as opposed to buying their lives with money.

This is worthwhile. Before the unification, the importance of population is self-evident.

"I see!" Ying Chang nodded, and then asked, "How is the financial situation this year?"

Zhang Feizi and Jia Luo looked at each other, as if they were asking each other whether it was you or me.

After a while of eye contact, Jarrow immediately raised his hand to make a report: "His Majesty, Shengqin's annual financial revenue has declined in 26 years, and the annual grain tax is 1000 million shi grains, which is less than last year's grain tax. [-] million stones of grain!"

"The salt tax is 8000 million taels of silver, the commercial tax is 2000 million taels of silver, and the customs duty is 7000 million taels of silver. The three states outside the customs have made 5000 million taels of silver for the dynasty by selling cattle, sheep and horses. An annual profit of [-] million taels of silver!"

"According to the statistics above, the total fiscal revenue of Shengqin in 27 years is 4000 million taels of silver and 23 million stones of grain. Adding this year's fiscal revenue, the Daqin treasury currently has 780 million taels of silver, 50 Wanshi food!"

Ying Chang frowned and said rather displeasedly: "I remember that last year the country's fertile land was 700 million mu, and the grain tax was 1000 million shi, but this year the country's fertile land was 7000 million mu. If it goes up, it goes down, it’s fine if it’s down, but it’s so much down, how can Ai Qing explain it?”

"Also, apart from the fact that there is no problem with the salt tax, the commercial tax was 2000 million taels of silver last year, why is it only 5000 million taels of silver this year, instead of increasing but decreasing, it has decreased by nearly half; the tariff was 2000 million taels of silver last year, Why is there only [-] million taels of silver this year?"

"Last year, the three prefectures outside the customs made a profit of 7000 million taels for the DPRK, but this year it was only 5000 million taels. Last year, the Household Department made a profit of [-] million taels, but this year it was only [-] million taels of silver. That's so much less. , how does Ai Qing explain?"

PS: "Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a full order, ask for a reward, ask for a recommendation ticket, and ask for four daily requests. I hope you can support me a lot!"

Chapter 900 Budget!

Jia Luo's face was a bit ugly, he hesitated for a moment, and then he replied bravely: "Return to Your Majesty, the reduction in food taxes is because most of Wuzhou, Fuzhou, and Dongzhou have been drought-stricken in summer, and there has been no rain in March. The benefits of the canals have brought meager amounts of water to the fertile fields, and it is feared that most of the three prefectures will have no crops!"

"Drought?" Ying Chang's face turned gloomy, and he asked in a deep voice, "Why is there no memorial about the drought in my imperial platform? Is this a natural disaster or a man-made disaster!"

Jia Luo hurriedly knelt down on the ground, pleading guilty in fear and trepidation: "Three prefectures are indeed in drought, but the local officials and ministers think that there are water canals, which can keep the fertile fields safe, and there is no need to worry about His Majesty, but whoever imagined, there are no water canals." How much water is provided has resulted in uneven crops this year, and the grain tax in the three states has plummeted!"

"I have committed the crime of dereliction of duty, and I hope that your Majesty will come down!"

Ying Chang narrowed his eyes and looked at Du Yushi Chang Qing, who nodded slightly, indicating that he had already checked and it was indeed a drought.

Knowing that it was indeed a drought, Ying Chang's face softened a little, the drought is nothing, it's just a man-made disaster.

"Drought is irreversible, no wonder you are on your head, but you didn't report it, let me be a blind cat once, pass the decree, fine the minister of the household department with three months' salary, and stop the salary of the officials involved for one month. If there is another time, the crime The crime will be added, and the punishment will be severe!" Ying Chang shouted in a cold voice with no expression on his face.

"The minister waits to obey the order!" All the ministers hurriedly bowed down to salute and shouted in unison.

"Get up, the decline in grain tax has been explained clearly, now explain the tariff, commercial tax, and the three states outside the customs!" Ying Chang said.

Jarrow wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, slowly got up from the ground, leaned over and replied: "Your Majesty, the reason why tariffs, commercial taxes, and tax revenues of the three states outside the customs have decreased is because the countries have united, and the Zhao Dynasty has paid for it. After I, Great Qin, declared war, I seized the property of the Qin merchants in the Zhao territory and expelled the Qin merchants out of the country!"

"The same is true of the Xia Dynasty and the Han Dynasty. Although the Chu Dynasty is not as extreme as the former, it also temporarily prohibits Qin merchants from entering Chu. There is also the Qi Dynasty. Although the Qi Dynasty did not expel Qin merchants, it did not prohibit Qin merchants from entering. However, the tariffs for entry into Qi have been increased, making many Qin merchants quit after knowing the difficulties!"

"There is also Zhongshan country, Zhongshan country has completely torn skins with me, Da Qin. Although it did not declare war on me, Da Qin, but followed Zhao Xiahan, knocked down my Qin and Shang wealth, and deported it. Because Xia, Chu, Zhongshan, and Qi did not allow it The entry of Qin merchants made it impossible for Qin merchants to go south, and the Qin merchants who went south before were also driven back one after another!"

"Qin merchants in the southeastern countries of Kyushu sensed that something was wrong, and they all borrowed the land of Wei Dynasty and Yue Dynasty to return to Qin from Yanshuiguan. In just half a year, the situation in the world has changed. Merchants from other countries dare not enter Qin, so Only then will the three states outside the customs, tariffs, and commercial taxes drop!"

"All countries are closed, Daqin can only digest it internally, and the minister predicts that the annual fiscal revenue will drop sharply again. The minister is also going to propose to reduce the budgets of various ministries and save some money for our dynasty!"

After listening to these words, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty finally understood how the fiscal revenue dropped, and it turned out that the problem was here.

Ying Chang was also a little confused. When he declared war, he didn't consider this at all.

Careless again.

"The Qi Dynasty is a bit too much. He sent his great-great-grandson of the emperor to a banquet to discuss the invasion of Qin, and now he has raised the customs duties for entering Qi!"

"It seems that the countries not only want to send troops to attack me, but also want to rely on commerce and trade to drag down my Great Qin's finances!"
