The First Tyrant of Daxia

Hear the words.

Everyone in the office was shocked and whispered to each other.

Specialty, metal?

What does this have to do with that? Can this thing rebuild Xiliang?

They were puzzled, but they did not dare to question Qin Yun, so they could only wait quietly.

He Ya frowned, tried to recall, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, Xiliang is not rich."

"The only precious treasure left is the Xiliang war horses. There are already a batch of them in Tianlang City. There are still 70,000 war horses in total."

"As for metal ores, Xiliang does have some, but not many, and their value is generally not high. When the empress... when Wang Min built this empress palace, she went to the hinterland of Laoshan to mine."

Hearing this, Qin Yun thought about it and realized that this warhorse was also the biggest trophy captured in this expedition against Liang, and it would preserve the spark for the future Xiliang Iron Cavalry!

"Western Liang war horses will be kept for Daxia's own use, but these ores or rare earths can be traded."

Hear this.

Everyone realized later that His Majesty was planning to develop trade again. They had also heard about the establishment of the Department of Commerce, which was unprecedented and had improved the status of merchants in Daxia.

But someone stood up and said worriedly: "But your majesty, this rare earth ore is not like cotton clothes. The people can't use it, and we don't have any channels to sell it."

"Even if the wealthy merchants in the Central Plains have this way, no one dares to come to Xiliang given the current situation."

As soon as this statement was made, it was recognized by the majority and they all nodded.

Qin Yun might be the first emperor in history to worry about commerce, and he rubbed his temples at this moment.

"People always come up with solutions. I have a way to sell the products!"

"But the prerequisite is to find the rare earths and minerals buried underground in Xiliang. Ordinary ones are not enough. They must be widely useful."

He Ya's eyes flashed, and he quickly volunteered: "Your Majesty, let me leave this matter to you, the guilty minister."

"I know some places where I might be able to dig up good ores and rare earths!"

Qin Yun simply shook his head.

He Ya looked slightly disappointed.

"Your task is to train a group of excellent Xiliang cavalry for me. Don't worry about anything else." Qin Yun said again.

Hearing this, He Ya showed a hint of joy and nodded heavily.

Qin Yun said solemnly: "Let's settle it like this. You go and draw the map later. I will personally survey the rare earth ores and then find buyers, striving to gain an inch of life for Xiliang after the war."

"Now, what difficulties do you think there are in forming the Xiliang Cavalry?"

"We don't have much time left. The Tiger Guards are there to deal with the Turks. We need garrison troops in various parts of Xiliang. Otherwise, we will be at the mercy of others."

Everyone was shocked and agreed deeply!

After the Xiliang War, the country was in a state of depression and ruin! We must raise a new army, otherwise it will become a loophole.

He Ya hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, let me talk about this matter."

He looked embarrassed. "After the battle of Julu, Xiliang had no troops capable of fighting. In order to protect himself, Wang Min asked Zhang Ren to raise another 120,000 troops."

"And Daliang is not legitimate, and has always been resisted by the people. Even a large number of people have gone to the north, so it is difficult to recruit soldiers."

"Finally... Zhang Ren ordered that every household be forcibly conscripted..."

boom!

Qin Yun slammed the table and shouted, "Is there such a thing?!"

He Ya trembled, knelt down quickly, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, this is true, I dare not lie."

"It was this incident that caused public resentment. Many men even fled to the mountains to hide, making it even more difficult to recruit cavalry."

Qin Yun swept it away sharply and snorted coldly: "Humph!"

"I don't think it's that simple, is it?"

"Did you also withhold the army's salaries and use some force?"

Under the scrutiny, He Ya felt as if needles were pricking his back and cold sweat broke out.

How did Your Majesty know these things?

"Your Majesty...this..."

Qin Yun cursed: "Assholes, my Xiliang has been messed up by these stinking soldiers. Even after their death, they still left such a mess behind!"

"It's time to bring Zhang Ren out and have his corpse whipped!"

Everyone trembled and dared not speak.

"He Ya, I'm warning you!"

"Your head is not completely on your neck yet, you'd better behave yourself. If you dare to behave like before, no one can save you!"

He Ya kowtowed: "Yes, yes! I understand!"

The other officials were also terrified when they saw this. His Majesty's aura was too strong. Even someone like He Ya, who was comparable to Mu Le, was so wary of him.

a long time.

Qin Yun said: "The salaries of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry will be doubled. I will personally issue an imperial decree to explain this. This should make the people believe it a little more."

"And they will be given to their families as soon as they join the army."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes widened.

"Your Majesty, double it?"

"But where does the money come from?"

"Isn't this expenditure too huge? Didn't you say that Xiliang's problems should be solved locally and you won't ask the national treasury for more money?"

Qin Yun waved his hand: "Who said I want to ask for money from the national treasury?"

"Of course I have a solution. Let's first exchange the nearly one hundred boxes of gold, silver and jewelry extorted from the Turks. There should be a large sum of money, which can cover the initial expenses of rebuilding the Xiliang Cavalry."

"As long as I can find minerals, rare earths, and channels, money will come rolling in! Xiliang's people's livelihood and finances will also recover quickly!"

"If it really doesn't work, I can collect some protection fees from those small border countries, right?"

Hearing this, everyone became suspicious.

He whispered quietly: "Protection fee, what is protection fee?"

"Why are your majesty's thoughts always so strange? I don't understand..."

"hiss……"

Qin Yun was too lazy to explain. The Han people were very particular about etiquette in everything, and they might not agree even if he explained it clearly.

"Okay, it's settled."

"Hurry up and do it. I want to see the formation of the Xiliang Cavalry in the shortest possible time!"

"Money, I will find a way to make sure that I won't hinder the livelihood of the people in the Central Plains!"

Everyone bowed deeply: "Yes!"

Soon afterwards, Qin Yun issued an imperial decree, announcing to the people of Xiliang.

Anyone who joins the army does not need to go on a long expedition, but only needs to garrison in Xiliang.

In addition, salaries will be doubled, benefits will be favorable, and there will be opportunities for promotion.

The most important thing is to get paid first, then join the army!

As the news came out, Xiliang was shocked!

The people of Sirius City gradually walked onto the streets, and many men gathered together, looking at the notice and talking about it.

"Alas, another conscription!"

"I haven't paid the salary I owed my second son yet!"

"Old man, that is owed by Wang Min's pseudo-regime. It has nothing to do with the court. This time, His Majesty has spoken and will pay the salary in advance."

"Did your Majesty say that in person?"

"Correct!"

"And I heard that this time the soldiers are not going to fight, but just to guard Xiliang!"

"so good?"

"Hiss... The people of the Central Plains live very well, much better than we do in Xiliang. Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous, and you deserve our trust!"

"Let's go to the market. If they really give out money first, I'll go and try it! We can barely make ends meet at home!"

"go!"

Soon, public opinion was overwhelmingly positive.

This is the reputation Qin Yun gained from building the Central Plains and winning numerous battles, which won him the hearts of the people!

The market entrance.

Qin Yun looked around and saw that more and more men were joining the army and believing in themselves. He felt relieved, but at the same time, he felt more stressed.
