Chapter 401: Invite the Nations to the Celebration Feast!
It's a pity that cement hasn't been developed yet, and he, a garbage traverser, won't do it.
Jiang Haiyou heard that he was often praised, and a smile on his face that was difficult to hide, as a courtier, didn't he work hard just to get the emperor's recognition and appreciation?
"How many Jin army prisoners are there in the Ministry of Industry now?" Ying Chang then asked.
When Jiang Haiyou heard this, his face immediately turned straight, and he replied: "Back to Your Majesty, there are still 80,000!" ”
10,000 captives were sent back to the Jin Empire in a quarter, and after more than three years, there were only 80,000 Jin prisoners left in Daqin, and in another two years, there would be no one left in the Ministry of Industry.
Ying Chang fell silent, his eyebrows fell into contemplation, and after pondering for a moment, he spoke: "I want to send all 80,000 captives back to the Jin Empire!" ”
This decision was carefully considered, and now that the Ministry of Industry has stopped all projects, these 80,000 captives will eat and drink for nothing, and the Guangfeng County Water Conservancy Project Project will not be able to start in a short time, and besides, the Great Qin Empire is now not short of labor, and it can be completely self-sufficient!
But in this case, it will cost a lot of extra money, after all, recruiting people to work is to pay wages, and the captives only need to take care of the food, but if you think about it carefully, you can let the Jin Empire give money, and directly send an envoy to tell the Jin Emperor that as long as you are willing to pay silver, Daqin will return 80,000 captives to the Jin Empire at one time.
The Jin Empire is currently short of manpower, and it will not disagree, and when the time comes, the Jin Empire will be slaughtered, won't it be fragrant?
Ying Chang's voice fell, and the eyes of the five ministers looked at Jiang Haiyou, originally the five ministers thought that Jiang Haiyou would not agree, but they didn't expect that Jiang Haiyou agreed!
"Agreed!" Jiang Haiyou replied without thinking, without hesitation at all, but a little happy.
The five ministers were stunned, did the sun come out in the west today? Agreed?
Jiang Haiyou agreed to this matter not to echo Ying Chang, he agreed for a reason, the first reason is just as Ying Chang thought, the Ministry of Industry stopped all the projects, these 80,000 prisoners are eating and drinking for nothing, and the Guangfeng County Water Conservancy Project Project does not know when it will start, which is unknown.
The second reason is that 10,000 people are repaid in a quarter, which is beneficial to Daqin in the early stage, but it becomes troublesome later, because every time after paying off people, they have to reschedule manpower to fill the gaps, making the original clean plan extremely cumbersome.
"Let's talk about this matter first, I won't say it in so much detail now, the specific details will be said at the reception!" Ying Chang said calmly.
"Yes!"
The six ministers bent down in unison and responded!
Since Jiang Haiyou did not object, and neither did the five ministers, I believe that Jiang Haiyou agreed to this matter, and Jiang Haiyou must have Jiang Haiyou's purpose!
"Next!"
Jiang Haiyou retreated from the queue, and Yang Ze, the secretary of the Ministry of War, stood out of the queue and bent down respectfully to make a report: "Your Majesty, after more than two years, all the officers and soldiers of the Xiguan Battalion, the Nanguan Battalion, the Jingshi Battalion, and the Wujin Battalion have been equipped with new weapons!" ”
"30,000 iron cavalry and 20,000 sword and shield soldiers in the Xiguan battalion, a total of 50,000 troops, 10,000 iron cavalry, 20,000 pikemen and 20,000 crossbowmen in the Nanguan battalion, a total of 50,000 troops, 30,000 sword and shield soldiers in the Beijing battalion plus 3,000 heavy cavalry, a total of 33,000 troops, 40,000 crossbowmen, 20,000 pikemen, 20,000 sword and shield soldiers in the Wujin battalion, a total of 80,000 troops!"
"The Great Wall battalion has 60,000 iron cavalry and 30,000 sword and shield soldiers, a total of 90,000 troops, and the total strength of the entire Great Qin Empire is 300,000!"
Yang Ze first told the situation of the new standard equipment, and then reported the situation of the major battalions and the total strength of the Great Qin.
"This Western Expedition to the North, a total of 10,000 iron cavalry killed, Xiguan lost more than 100 iron cavalry, this total strength and troop deployment not to mention, there have been great changes recently, let's talk about it at the banquet together!" Ying Chang said.
After the conquest of the Northwest Desert, there have been great changes in the deployment of troops, which has to be explained in detail, and it is not clear in a short time.
"Yes!" Yang Ze replied with a respectful expression, and then retreated to his position.
Shangshu Lei Tong of the Criminal Department immediately stood out of the queue and bent down with a smile on his face to make a report: "Your Majesty, in recent years, due to the gradual prosperity of my people in Daqin, the number of criminals has declined significantly, and petty theft has been very rare!" ”
As the secretary of the Criminal Department, what he wants to see most is that the prison is empty, although the goal of the prison is empty has not been reached yet, but the offender has dropped sharply, which is enough for him to be happy, after all, this is all political achievements.
"The decrease in the number of criminals shows that my people of Great Qin are really rich!" Ying Chang nodded with satisfaction.
If someone is well fed, warmly drunk, and able to support themselves, will anyone be willing to do something shameful? Yes, there must be, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and human nature is difficult to guess.
"Next!"
Lei Tong retreated to the standing, and then Kong Wen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, walked out of the queue, among the six ministers, he was the oldest, and he was already in the age of sixties, but looking at his appearance, Kong Wen was a little younger than Chang Zifei.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has prepared a reception banquet, and the silver spent has been submitted to the Prime Minister's Mansion, in addition to the reception banquet that has been prepared, the canonization ceremony and wedding ceremony are being prepared, and it is expected that the canonization ceremony will be held in a month, and the wedding ceremony will be held in two months!" Kong Wen made a report with a respectful expression.
Yingchang nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a proposal!" Chang Zifei suddenly stood out of the queue and said.
"Oh? What a proposal, Chang Aiqing said! Ying Chang squeezed out a smile on his face and replied.
"Since ancient times, the Great Northern Desert and the Western Desert have been my old enemies in Kyushu, and the countries dare to be angry and dare not speak out against them, but now, my Great Qin has swept through the Northwest Desert, completely swept away the old enemies that have existed for thousands of years, and completed the great cause of the ages that countless people have not completed!"
"The minister thinks that you can hold a big celebration banquet and invite all countries to come to my Xianyang banquet, first, you can take the opportunity to deter the world, second, you can show the righteous king of the Great Qin Empire, and third, you can make allies!" Chang Zifei said sonorously, his eyes flashing with fine light.
To complete the eternal cause of conquering the Northwest Desert, it would be a pity not to find someone to celebrate.
After listening to these words, Ying Chang immediately understood what Chang Zifei meant, and showed off his fists! Find allies!
There are pros and cons to show your fists, and there are two advantages, one is to deter the nations, raise the prestige of the Great Qin Empire, so that the countries dare not underestimate Qin, and the other is to highlight the righteous king of the Great Qin Empire, so that the people of the world know that Great Qin has removed two old enemies for the people of Kyushu, which can deepen the good impression of the people of the world on the Qin Empire.
