Chapter 196: Ambitious Spying Overseas
Ying Zheng looked at Guo Jia, and Guo Jia also looked at Ying Zheng.
Both of them couldn't help but show pity in their eyes.
"Minister, Guo Jia greets Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!" Guo Jia knelt down and said respectfully.
Ying Zheng stepped forward to help the other party and said, "Please be filial piety, don't be polite!"
Then, he took Guo Jia's arm and entered the imperial study together, and asked people to prepare delicious food and wine, and a beautiful dancing girl came to dance and help the wine...
A few hours later, Guo Jia left the imperial study and went to the temporary residence arranged by Yingzheng for him in Zhangtai Palace, and was extremely gracious.
The King of Qin has appointed Guo Jia as the governor of Qin Yandao to preside over the military and political affairs of Yandi, and he has also notified Zuo Xiang Pang Tong to equip Guo Jia with the required talents.
Guo Jia will leave for Qin Yandao five days later to serve as the governor of the capital.
Ying Zheng believes that with Guo Jia in charge of Qin Yandao, Yandi will definitely be able to quickly get on the right track.
A few days later, Ying Zheng summoned Jia Xu, the commander of the Black Ice Terrace, in the imperial study.
"Minister, see Your Majesty!" Jia Xu saluted respectfully.
"Excuse me!"
Ying Zheng got straight to the point and said: "Wenhe, now that the Canglong Sailor has built the first batch of lucky ships, which can go to sea and sail far, the widow ordered you to send a group of Black Ice Terrace elites to take the lucky ships to go to sea through the Yan Kingdom and go to the east corner of the Divine Desolate Continent to collect the imperial information close to my east corner!"
"No!!" Jia Xu couldn't help but be excited when he learned of His Majesty's latest order.
He knew that Yingzheng was a generation of heroes, and his ambitions were not just satisfied with being the king and hegemon in the east.
Now, Your Majesty is finally planning to go out of the EAST!
A stage ten million times bigger than the EAST is waiting for them!
Jia Xu's heart that is not wavering in the ancient well also has a long-lost feeling of hot boiling.
He retired from the Imperial Study and immediately began to send the elite out of the EAST.
This matter is related to the future ambitions of His Majesty, and there is no carelessness.
Jia Xu is ready to send elite soldiers and strong generals out of the eastern corner to collect information on the Divine Desolate Continent for His Majesty.
......
Time flies, time flies.
In the peaceful years, time always flies.
In the blink of an eye, it was already a year later.
Since the destruction of the Yan Kingdom, in the past year, there has been no war in Great Qin, and the countries in the eastern corner of the Divine Desolation are the same, and it is rare that they have been peaceful for nearly a year.
Everything in Great Qin is going well.
After a year of development, the newly conquered land of Sanjin, Xiongnu and Yan has developed very well, and the momentum of development is very rapid.
Especially in the Sanjin and Yan countries, even if there was a local drought, after the seeds of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and hybrid rice from Daqin were passed over, an unprecedented bumper harvest of grain was achieved in the first year, setting a record.
Grain production is several times higher than in a normal year.
Because of the increase in grain production, the people finally don't have to go hungry anymore.
In the past, even at the peak of the Sanjin and Yan Kingdoms, millions of people were still hungry every year, and hundreds of thousands of people starved to death.
It has only been more than a year since the Three Jin and Yan Kingdoms were merged into Great Qin, and the people have all their food and clothing, and the excess grain can be sold to the state in exchange for silver taels to improve their lives.
The people regard food as the sky, and if the ruler controls the food well, there will basically be chaos.
In addition to the bumper grain harvest, over the past year or so, Daqin has also built many official roads, and the width is twice as wide according to the latest standards of the old Qin State.
These official roads are like bloodlines, which closely link the Dog Rong, Bashu, Lao Qindi, Qin Wei Dao, Qin Han Dao, Qin Zhao Dao, Qin Yan Dao, Qin Xiongnu Dao, etc., into a unity, so that goods can be conveniently circulated and exchanged with each other.
In addition, the two grasslands of the dog Rong and the Xiongnu provide a large number of high-quality and inexpensive horses, which makes the transportation more convenient, and many families with spare money can use the carriage.
This was unimaginable in the previous Sanjin and Yandi, when only the rich and noble could afford to use the carriage.
The first-class high-quality war horses of the Xiongnu and the Dog Rong were first supplied to the military, and the rest of a large number of horses of slightly inferior quality were sold to the common people, merchants and civilians.
Because of the prosperity of commerce, the people of the Xiongnu and the dogs had a market for horses, cattle and sheep, and their lives were getting better and better.
At the same time as the construction of the official road in Daqin, many major rivers were also dredged, and the transportation of water was also developed.
In addition, the city of nine commercial centers proposed by Shang Minister Fan Li (because Yan was annexed by Qin, one was also built in Yandi), which has also been successfully built and put into use, and the results are beginning to show.
Under the leadership of the nine locomotives of the commercial center city, commerce in various places has flourished, and the commercial tax revenue of Daqin has also risen.
Moreover, the living standards of the people in Xiongnu, Dog Rong, Sanjin and other places have been continuously improved because of the development of commerce.
In terms of education, the Great Qin Guoxue has expanded several times, and the number of students enrolled has also expanded several times, among which many students have been recruited from Sanjin and Yanguo.
Ten universities have also been established and have successfully opened their classes.
It can be said that Daqin almost wiped out all the talents in Sanjin, Yandi, Inurong, Xiongnu and other places for the use of Daqin, building Daqin and prospering Daqin.
In addition, Daqin also established a large number of township, county, county, and Taoist schools in Sanjin, Yandi, Inurong, Xiongnu and other places, unified the written language, and carried out ideological education, etc., to consolidate the rule of Daqin, and cultivate talents.
In terms of troops, the total number of heavy infantry in the Qin State today has reached 1.2 million, 600,000 light infantry, and 200,000 heavy cavalry (the heavy cavalry is the best of the best, the most elite of which is 20,000 Iron Eagle Knights or Iron Eagle Warriors, and Great Qin has recruited Iron Eagle Warriors).
The number of Daqin's regular army has reached a terrifying 2 million, and the second-line garrison army has also exceeded 1 million, and other special arms such as the naval army and the Shenji battalion are not counted, as long as Daqin is willing, more heavy cavalry and hoplite legions can be formed.
However, King Qin felt that the cavalry had these 200,000 and it was almost enough, and it would be no problem to train them into the elite of the elite and sweep the eastern corner, and 1.2 million hoplites would be enough.
Now, the total tax revenue of the Great Qin Treasury in all aspects has exceeded 6 trillion taels of silver in a year, and if Ying Zheng released this data, the countries in the eastern corner of the Divine Desolation would definitely be stunned in shock.
Ying Zheng was very satisfied with the work done by Fan Li in developing the economy.
Over time, as the reforms continue to deepen, the tax revenues generated will continue to increase.
Of course, while the revenue of the Great Qin treasury has increased sharply, the fiscal expenditure has also reached new highs.
Because Daqin's expenditure is too much.
In addition to building roads, dredging rivers, and establishing commercial centers, it also spent on the construction of water conservancy and industrial cities, increased investment in education, and so on.
If Ying Zheng wants to dominate the world of the Divine Desolation, he must increase investment in all aspects, build Daqin into a stronger country, and cultivate more outstanding talents.
In addition, he also wants to turn the various advanced technologies from the land of China that he can see in the books provided by the system into reality.
King Qin was ambitious, and the small eastern corner couldn't satisfy him at all.
......
Three days later, it was the day when King Yingzheng of Qin held the largest annual court meeting, and it was also the day to listen to the reports of various departments of the imperial court, the governors of all provinces, the county guards, and the county orders.
They will report to the King of Qin about the work of the past year or so.
At that time, Ying Zheng will judge the results of their work for more than a year, reward those who are worried, and punish those who are poor.
Sima Yi, the governor of Qin Wei Dao, Zhuge Liang, the governor of Qin and Han Dao, Li Si, the governor of Qin Zhao Dao, and other feudal officials, have already brought their officials to Xianyang in advance and lived in the post house.
Huyan Yu'er, the governor of the Qin Xiongnu Dao, also rushed to Xianyang two days ago, thinking that she would be able to meet His Majesty the wise and martial King of Qin in three days, she couldn't help but be excited, and there was a touch of red on her handsome face.
