Chapter 233: This Is This Called the Prosperous Age?
"Your Majesty attaches so much importance to blacksmiths, it seems that blacksmiths have a broad road, but it's a pity that I'm old, otherwise I'm going to be an apprentice in the Ordnance Department!"
"Haha, I've already called my two sons!"
"Now it seems that becoming a blacksmith is a good path!"
The people feel new about blacksmiths becoming officials, and at the same time, they also feel that this is also a good way, especially some people who live in poverty, and they want their children to go to the ordnance department as apprentices, because being an apprentice can not only make money, but also have a good growth space, and the danger is low, why not.
For a time, a large number of people rushed to Xianyang from all over the country, all of whom were going to be apprentices in the Ordnance Department, and there were even some people who wanted to settle in Xianyang City.
In April, the 25th day of December in the tenth year of Shengqin!
Great Qin Empire, Xianyang City, Imperial Palace, Qilin Palace!
Outside the main hall, hundreds of people tall and large guards guard outside the hall, two faint officials stand on both sides of the hall door with Buddha dust in hand, the carved beams and paintings in the hall, the black dragon hovers on the black pillar, the dragon's mouth is wide open and contains the dragon ball, which makes people feel solemn spontaneously, the pitch-black tone, makes people feel depressed, on the throne of the black lacquer carved dragon on the high platform, there is a world emperor who looks down on the world.
Ying Chang was dressed in a gold silk black dragon robe, with a dragon head belt around his waist, a sword hanging from his belt, bronzed dragon pattern boots on his feet, and a flat-topped dragon crown on his head.
Below, the civil and military officials dressed in court clothes on both sides of the station, all with solemn expressions, looking ahead without a smile, in this cold winter, Daqin, located in the western corner, is particularly cold, and many ministers have added several clothes, which are more cystic.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!"
Jiang Haiyou, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, stepped out of the civil official queue and bowed to Ying Chang with a respectful expression and shouted.
"Quasi-play!" Ying often makes a strong voice.
"Your Majesty, the water conservancy project in Shangyang County has been completed sixty percent, and it is expected to be completed in April of the eleventh year of Shengqin, and the Hall of Merit has been completed on the tenth of this month!" Jiang Haiyou replied with a sonorous and powerful composition.
Ying Chang nodded, signaling to understand, Jiang Haiyou saw this, so he retreated to his position, waiting for the next minister to stand up, sure enough, as soon as Jiang Haiyou returned to his position, Chang Zifei, the head of the hundred officials, stepped forward and took a step, bending down with a respectful expression to make a report: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!" ”
Jiang Haiyou, who is over fifty years old, has a hint of vicissitudes in his voice.
"Quasi-play!" Ying Chang replied softly.
"Your Majesty, in the tenth year of Saint Qin, my Great Qin has lost a total of four million stone of grain, nine million taels of silver, and after deducting this year's loss, the treasury has about three million three hundred thousand stone of grain, nineteen million taels of silver, and fifty thousand taels of gold!"
"Although the loss this year is large, but the income is also a lot, Hebei, Hedong, Huainan, Nanyang, Guangfeng, Hexi, Shangyang seven counties have all sent this year's taxes to the household department, according to the household department, this year's grain tax is 2.7 million stones, 1.7 million more than last year, 1.4 million taels more than last year, 1.4 million taels more than last year, 1.8 million taels more than last year, 1.8 million taels more than last year, 1.5 million taels more than last year, 1.6 million taels, 1.5 million taels more than last year!"
"This year's total tax revenue has reached 2.7 million stone grain, 4.8 million taels of silver, plus this year's tax revenue, the state treasury has about 6 million stone of grain, 23.8 million taels of silver, and 50,000 taels of gold!"
"In addition, Daqin added 60,000 new newborns, 20,000 births, old age, sickness and death, the total population of the seven counties reached 324,000, 40,000 more than in July last year, because Hebei County, Hedong County, Nanyang County, Huainan County did not implement the national policy, did not increase the number of fertile land, Shangyang County also due to the lack of population, abandoned nearly 40,000 acres of fertile land, fortunately in Hexi County increased 50,000 acres of fertile land, Guangfeng County increased 70,000 acres of fertile land, the total fertile land of the seven counties reached 528 acres, an increase of 80,000 mu over July last year!"
Chang Zifei seemed to memorize this information, spoke fluently, and explained things clearly without pausing, which made many ministers feel admired, worthy of being prime ministers, and having a hand.
Ying Chang's deep but not angry eyes looked at Chang Zifei through the twelve beads of the flat-topped dragon crown, and after a little silence, he asked, "Is there a beggar in Xianyang City?" ”
Chang Zifei was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Ying Chang to ask this, and many ministers were also quite puzzled by this.
"Never!" Chang Zifei shook his head lightly and replied.
The corners of Ying Chang's mouth curled, and he said with a smile: "There are no beggars, which means that the people of Daqin are at least living a life of food and clothing, so can it be regarded as a prosperous world?" ”
"Of course!" Chang Zifei replied sonorously!
The most basic prosperity is to ensure that the people are not hungry, but Daqin has achieved the most basic prosperity, speaking of which, how incredible it is, Ying Chang has only been in charge of the imperial power for three years, and it only took three years to build Daqin into a prosperous country!
The credit for this, the efforts of the Great Qin monarchs and ministers account for thirty percent, the national policy accounts for thirty percent, and the Jin Empire accounts for forty percent, that's right, Great Qin can become a prosperous country in a short period of time, and the Jin Empire is indispensable, it will do whatever it takes to make the four counties of Great Qin a rich place!
"Your Majesty, this is the Great Qin Dynasty!"
"Since Your Majesty took over the imperial power, it only took three years to build the poor Great Qin into a prosperous country that is the envy of all countries, and Your Majesty should be a monarch of great talent!"
"Serving Your Majesty is a blessing that cannot be cultivated for eternity!"
As soon as the ministers heard the word Shengshi, they all showed pride and pride, and stood up one after another to flatter and win Chang.
"No!"
Ying Chang's face changed, which made the hundred officials stunned, and the originally noisy Qilin Hall instantly quieted down, only to hear Ying Chang say: "If the people can eat and dress is a prosperous age, then this prosperous world is not good, what is a prosperous world?" I'll tell you today! ”
Seeing that Ying Chang suddenly became so serious, all the ministers bent down and shouted in unison: "Ministers listen to the holy word!" ”
"The prosperous era in my eyes is that the people have endless clothes to wear, endless food, big fish and meat every day, delicacies from the mountains and seas, every city is a city that never sleeps, every household is brightly lit, and the sound of joy resounds everywhere, this is the prosperous era in my eyes, Jiang Aiqing, do you remember what I said about the great harmony of the world?" Ying Chang looked solemn and said in an impassioned tone.
Jiang Haiyou immediately stood up in the queue of civil officials, and responded with a smile: "The minister knows!" The people do not close their doors, the city does not ban at night, and the world is the same! ”
PS: "The next main plot is to sweep the Kyushu countries, brothers, are your monthly passes ready?" ”
