Chapter 408: The Reception Banquet is also a court discussion!
Although the principal is only a minor official, for the two of them who have dreams of becoming a career, the principal of Zhengliupin is already very satisfied.
Zhang Feizi, who was sitting at the head of the civil service, smiled with relief, the two sons finally realized their dreams, and how far they can go next depends on themselves.
As for the eldest son Zhang Huaimeng, he was not worried at all, and he could guess that Yingchang would not let Zhang Huaimeng stay in Xianyang, and would let him be the county guard, because after Daqin conquered the Northwest Desert, he would definitely divide a large number of counties, and Daqin lacked county guards with governance experience, so eighty percent would let Zhang Huaimeng go to be the county guard of one of the many counties in the Northwest Desert!
"Father, I'm hungry!"
At this time, a childish ethereal voice sounded, and I saw Yingbei, who was sitting next to Tang Hua, pouting and looking unhappy under the high platform.
"Okay, serve, serve!" Ying Chang smiled awkwardly and hurriedly asked people to serve the food.
"Hahaha!"
The hundred officials laughed loudly, and they were all amused by Yingbei's appearance.
Dozens of palace maids walked into the Fengtian Hall with wooden plates, the wooden plates were steaming delicacies, and after the palace maids placed the delicacies on each seat, Yingchang raised his hand to pick up the wine jug and poured a little into the wine glass, and the ministers of civil and military affairs followed suit.
Ying Chang stood up from the dragon chair with a wine glass in both hands, and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs also hurriedly raised the wine glass and stood up, only to see Ying Chang drink with a solemn expression: "This cup of wine is dedicated to the heroic spirit of the soldiers who have spilled their blood into the ground for the Northern Expedition to the West for two years!" ”
"!"
"!"
Ying often drank it all with his ministers, giving high respect to the fallen soldiers!
After drinking a glass, Ying Chang added another glass, raised his glass to Zhao and said: "This glass of wine, should be honored by General Zhaolie!" ”
"To General Zhaoyeol!" The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs shouted at Zhao Haoqi, and then the monarch and the minister drank it all again.
Zhao Hao was moved to tears, and he wanted to cry.
It seems to be just an ordinary toast, but it made Zhao Hao very moved and honored!
Ying Chang refilled his glass again, raised his glass to Galu Yue and Alona Shun Sheng, and shouted: "In the first battle of the Western Expedition, the warriors of the Ningta Legion shed their blood, bravely killed the enemy, and won the most critical battle to conquer the Western Desert. ”
"General Jingningta! Victory Commander! The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs shouted at Garu Yue and Alonashun Sheng with a solemn expression, and did not discriminate against them because they were Xiongnu.
Garu Yue and Alonasun Katsu stood up excitedly and raised their glasses in return.
At first, they were worried that they would not be able to integrate into the Great Qin bureaucracy and be isolated, but now it seems that integration should not be a problem.
"This glass of wine, to General Hulie!" Ying Chang raised his glass again, and the civil and military officials also raised their glasses and shouted: "Respect General Hulie!" ”
Yang Hu raised his glass with a smile on his face and returned the salute, and the monarch drank it all!
After the people who should be respected, Ying Chang also sat back on the dragon chair, and the ministers also sat down one after another, and it didn't take long for Chang Zifei to look around with a red face, and said with a smile: "Everyone, Your Majesty has been fighting for Great Qin for two years, pacifying the troubles in the northwest, and it is an emperor who has no one in the ages. ”
"Yes, three glasses to Your Majesty!"
"Haha!"
The civil and military officials raised their glasses to Ying Chang, Ying Chang smiled and raised his glass in response, he only drank one glass, while the civil and military officials drank three glasses in a row, and after drinking the wine to the emperor, the toasting process passed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, eat vegetables, eat vegetables!"
"Delicious, really delicious!"
"That is, the imperial chef in the palace is not comparable to your domestic servant!"
"Is this comparable?"
"Take a bite of the delicious food in the palace, that's a blessing, haha!"
"Uncle Wang, I want to eat this!"
"Good!"
"I want this chicken leg!"
"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, wait a minute, the minister will take it for Her Royal Highness!"
The hundred officials began to eat and drink lively, the Fengtian Hall was filled with a joyful atmosphere, and the moving Yingbei also became the happy water of the hundred officials, constantly begging for the food on the minister's seat, and the mouth was full of oil, Tang Hua wanted to manage it at first, but he couldn't control it at all, seeing that Yingchang was indifferent, Tang Hua didn't care, and let Yingbei toss back and forth in the hall.
"Qin wine is really good!"
"Yes, it's so cool, compared to our goat's milk wine, it's just one day and one place!"
Galu Yue and Alona Shun Sheng suddenly fell in love with the Qin Empire's spirits, and when they thought of the goat milk wine they drank before, it was like drinking urine, which was not a grade at all, thinking that when they left Xianyang City, they would ask for a little more spirits, otherwise they would not be able to live their lives.
"Zhang Xiang, please!"
"Please!"
"Zhang Xiang, how does it feel to come to the Qin Empire?"
"Wonderful, wonderful, haha!"
Chang Zifei and Zhang Feizi chatted tacitly, and the rest of the hundred officials also talked to each other with their colleagues next to them, and the three Zhang brothers integrated quickly, but they integrated into the military, and soon got along with Zhao Hao and the generals.
This has made many ministers wary.
After about a while, Ying Chang raised his hand and pressed it, signaling the hundred officials to be quiet, and when the hundred officials saw this, they all quieted down, and looked at Ying Chang on the high platform with their eyes, only to see Ying Chang speak calmly: "Everyone, Aiqing stop first, I will say a few things first!" ”
Tonight's banquet is not only a reception banquet, but also a court discussion!
"Listen up!" The ministers of civil and military affairs raised their hands in response.
Ying Chang glanced around at the ministers of the main hall, and then said in a tone that was not light: "Ladies and gentlemen, Great Qin has conquered the Northwest Desert, and the next step is to rectify it and increase the heritage of the Great Qin Empire, and now there are more than three million grassland people in the Great Northern Desert!" ”
"I plan to carve out sixteen counties, one county and seven counties, and one county with 30,000 people in the northwest desert, and first set aside the administrative area, and after sending officials to take up their posts, setting up the government, and after the government is established, the local government will concentrate all the local cattle, sheep and horses and imprint the official seal, so as to show that these cattle, sheep and horses are official!"
"Stamp the mark, and the government will hand over the cattle, sheep and horses to the grassland slaves, let them be responsible for free-range, if there is a merchant to buy, the government will be a party to the transaction, and after the government receives the money, it will be kept first, and it will be handed over to the state treasury at the end of the year as a local tax today!"
"The grassland people who have restored their civilian status have sold cattle, sheep and horses, and they need to hand over fifty percent of the transaction amount to the government as a commercial tax, which will be collected by the local government, remember, you must not oppress the grassland people, whether he is a slave or a commoner, you must not oppress them, otherwise they will be punished with the crime of oppressing the people!"
"This matter is responsible for the household department and the official department, the household department is responsible for fabricating household registration, liquidating cattle, sheep and horses in various places, and the official department is responsible for dispatching officials, by the way, Zhang Huaimeng was a county guard before, let him go to one of the counties in the northwest desert to serve as a county guard!"
