Chapter 365 The 300th Flowing Speed Chapter 7: Grand Morning Meeting
Daqin, which started in the western frontier, moved into the barren mountains of Longxi, and finally entered the land of Guanzhong. With the land of Guanzhong as its foundation, it will stand in the world for 400 years!
Since Duke Mu of Qin was born, Daqin appointed Bailixi as the important minister, and after selecting Meng Mingshi, Xiqimu, and Bai Yibing as generals of the Qin army, Daqin rose rapidly and conquered all countries in the four directions. One of the five hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Since the death of Duke Mu of Qin, the nine generations of Great Qin have been in chaos, the national power has shrunk, and the territory has shrunk.
It was not until the Xiangong period that Daqin showed signs of revitalization. The last generation of the heroic lord Qin Xiaogong was born again, becoming the second heroic lord of Daqin. The Daqin, which had been shrunk for hundreds of years, finally showed signs of going east again.
Later, after King Huiwen and King Wu, although Daqin regressed politically, its military strength became stronger and stronger.
He successively attacked and destroyed the two countries of Bashu and Shu, obtained the two places of Bashu, and obtained the land of Shangyu and the land of Hanzhong from the southern state of Chu.
Finally, after a lapse of 400 years, the third hero of Da Qin was finally born.
King Zhao of Qin, Ying Ji, ascended to the throne of Qin King at the age of seventeen, and in less than a year, he dared to take the lead in the war.
And the first shot was to cut off the rebellion in the northwest Yiqu, the Yiqu royal family was slaughtered, and the woman was taken into the Qin Palace to be trained as a guard.
After that, he would implement the plan of bullying the sky. He would worship Changbai as the general, and transfer the Beidi Army and the Bashu Army to carry out the general mobilization of the primary war, and invest nearly one million troops at a time!
He even invested in two titled legions of Daqin, and in the battle of Hanguguan, he overthrew all the countries in the world in one fell swoop.
Since then, Daqin has changed its name to the Daqin Empire, and King Zhao of Qin, Yingji, has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
After that, it was Operation Thunder, which opened the door to the plane, and formed the first expeditionary army. He used himself as the chief marching officer of the expeditionary army, and the chief general of the Lantian army camp was the grand counsellor.
They successively invested in four first-line A-class legions, two second-line B-class legions, and three third-line B-class cargo legions, with a total of 800,000 imperial soldiers, and completely completed the first attack on the world.
The first emperor, Ying Ji, absolutely deserves the three characters of the first emperor, not only because Ying Ji has created an unprecedented great cause in the main world.
It is also because Ying Ji is the first existence to expand the sphere of influence to other planes since the historical records of China.
…
"We see Your Majesty, Long Live Long Live Your Majesty!"
At this moment, in the imperial court, in the Xianyang Palace, a total of more than 100 civil and military officials from the two courtyards of the Qin Dynasty are here.
Looking at the emperor's throne, Qin Huang Ying Ji, who was wearing a black gold dragon pattern robe and a purple gold crown, saluted and said.
Among these people, there are Wei Ran, the right minister of the empire, Shang Yang, the left minister, Jiang Shang, president of the Academy of Literature, Sun Wu, president of the Academy of Military Affairs, Zhao Yong, vice president, Ou Yezi, the minister of the Ministry of Finance, Sun Simiao, the minister of the Ministry of Wood, and Gongshu, the minister of the Ministry of Water. Ban, Fire Minister Cui Wenzi, Earth Minister Bei Yanzi and other officials of the Empire included.
There are also ministers such as Wu Xinjun Zhang Yi, eldest grandson Wuji, Le Yi and other ministers that Ying Ji brought back from the Chu Qiao Chuan world.
All the imperial officials were present, and even the four-pillar kingdom of the empire had gathered three of them.
Of course, Yan Jun, Yingji, was not present as the chief marching officer of the Northern Theater Command, which guarded the frontiers of the empire.
But now, every imperial official's eyes are filled with a little bit of exploration and puzzlement.
Because there was an order from the imperial envoy today, His Majesty had returned to Xianyang yesterday and decided to hold a court meeting the next day.
Hearing that His Majesty returned to Xianyang without a sound, countless imperial officials were also shocked.
At this moment, I heard that His Majesty was going to hold a court meeting. How could these important imperial officials still sit still, so they rushed to their residences in Xianyang and accepted His Majesty's summons in Xianyang Palace.
But until now, all the important officials of the empire do not know what His Majesty the Emperor intends to hold a court meeting today. Is there a new arrangement?
"I hope it won't be another battle!"
"You must know that the empire has prospered for two years, although the accumulation of food that can be used for decades is equivalent to the treasury storage of 20 years of taxes."
"It's barely enough to satisfy the use of all kinds of money in the empire and in the first plane!"
"But the background is still a little weak, and the treasury can no longer support another plane war and the formation of the Second Expeditionary Army!"
The ministers of the empire all sighed and thought that many imperial ministers thought that after two years of hard work, the empire had become quite rich with the accumulation of profits every year equivalent to decades.
It can be said that the poor are prosperous, and with the development of the empire's major projects, these imperial ministers know the difficulties of the empire and become a little less confident about the foundation of the empire.
The world needs money for military deployment, college education plans, civil and bridge engineering construction, money for the replacement of military equipment, and the salaries of imperial officials and imperial ministers.
All in all, in short, there are too many places to ask for money.
According to the statistics of the imperial government, the amount of money the empire spends on major projects every year has reached eight or nine million taels of gold.
It has reached nine-tenths of the empire's tax revenue, which is infinitely close to the fiscal deficit, which makes the hearts of the two prime ministers who jointly manage the empire's treasury feel painful.
This is especially true of Shang Yang. You must know that when Shang Jun followed Duke Xiao, Da Qin was really poor.
In addition to the army building, the rest of the time was really tight, and even meals had to be calculated carefully.
Even Qin Xiaogong, the monarch of the Qin state, can have more than three meat dishes in each meal, which is considered a feast.
Even if Duke Xiao was ambitious back then and decided to devote the whole country to building a new army, he only invested 200,000 gold every year.
Even after the rise of Daqin, the highest investment was not more than 500,000 gold a year, which is like today, hundreds of millions of dollars go out with a wave of the hand.
During the reign of Duke Xiao, the sum of all the financial investment was less than a fraction of what His Majesty the First Emperor invested in one year of his reign.
And this is not counting the food that the empire invests in the taxation process every year. If it is converted, the value of the empire's annual investment has reached 15 million gold, which is quite terrifying.
Recalling the years of hard struggle, and thinking about the increasingly prosperous situation in the current empire, even Shang Yang, who is over sixty years old, has a smile on his face.
Of course, Shang Yang, who had taken Xisui Dan and had a high level of martial arts, seemed to be only in his prime.
"Everyone, it's been a while since I left, how is the progress of your master's cultivation?"
"You are all the ministers of the humerus of my Daqin, and you must never let your cultivation base be slack. You must play an exemplary role in order to inspire the wind of martial arts cultivation in the upper and lower empires!"
