The ruler is long, and the inch is short.

Jia Taichu noticed that Ji Xuanling's face was worried, and he hurriedly hugged Chao Wat and said: "King, Weichen is not good at the rule of officials, however, Yecheng County Shou Chu Liangji is upright, known to be capable, serving as Yecheng County punctual, Yecheng's politics are clear, the economy has been restored, and everyone praises the people. ”

He hopes that the talents he recommends can be appreciated by the king and promoted to Jiuqing to contribute to the country.

"The king, the son of the original counselor Xu Ji, Xu Maocai is a good person, and he has a prestige in Xianyang City, which can be used more." Yin Hong also recommended one.

Ji Xuanling didn't know Yecheng County Guard, nor did he know Xu Maocai.

However, the imperial court is the time to employ people, and they can be entrusted with important tasks and try their talents.

"In a hurry, follow the power, still write the order, pass on the widow's oral edict, summon Chu Liangji to enter the court, serve as a counselor, and use Xu Maocai as a court lieutenant, specifically responsible for the affairs of the officials." Ji Xuanling ordered.

"Whoa!"

At the bottom left of the main hall, a young man got up from the cushion and bowed down to exit the court.

The officials in the palace saw that Ji Xuanling accepted Jia Taichu and Yin Hong's suggestions, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

One by one, they make suggestions for the disadvantages of the times and recommend the virtuous.

Ji Xuanling made a decision on the spot, drafted an edict, and instructed Tieying Ruishi to pass on the order, select capable ministers, and fill the vacancies in the three princes and nine secretaries, the secretaries and the army.

During this period, Ji Xuanling instructed the dining room to prepare food for the hundred officials to satisfy their hunger, and after replenishing their physical strength, the monarchs and ministers continued to discuss government affairs.

After a long time, Taiwei Yin Hong got up and saluted: "Great King, the officials are in the peace, the military is outside, at present, the Black Flag Army, the New Army, and the Iron Eagle Rui Soldiers of Great Qin are only 1340,000 in total, which is less than half of the army in the era of the first king, and less than 30% of the heyday, which can neither stop the invasion of the six eastern countries, nor resist the attack of Yuan Ci in the south."

Weichen suggested that recruits should be recruited as soon as possible to expand the number of pro-troops. ”

"Captain Yin, Great Qin has constant internal and external troubles, the front line has been repeatedly defeated, many Qin people have moved east, in just seven or eight years, the people of Great Qin have been reduced by as much as thirty percent, and it is very difficult to recruit soldiers again." Feng Chang Lu Shiming retorted.

"Yes, the king is in charge, and Daqin should take the lead in recuperating and actively resuming production." Zongzheng Yang Xiuwen suggested.

For a while, hundreds of officials were gossiping, and the retractors believed that Great Qin was weak, and the government treasury provided a large number of elite soldiers, while supporters in the army believed that the military was not well prepared, the national strength was weak, and it was difficult for Great Qin to rise.

The Qin State adopted a traditional conscription system, and the royal palace usually provided arable land and residence to each military household, and they provided soldiers for the country for generations.

After the royal palace issued a military order for conscription, all those who met the requirements for conscription must be thrown into the army when the war comes, and everyone will fight against the enemy and foreign enemies.

In view of Qin's domestic and external troubles, Ji Xuanling very much agreed with Yin Hong's suggestion, a strong country must first strengthen the army, a strong army can be safe, the fist is hard, no one is afraid, there is a quiet external environment, Great Qin can recover the economy with peace of mind.

Only then did Yin Hong recommend three or four generals who were good at fighting, and he also proposed conscription, which was in line with the current situation.

In the past ten years, Daqin has often been invaded, with fewer foreign victories and more defeats, countless casualties in the army, and the soldiers are brave and afraid of war, afraid of war, and war-weary, and it is not easy to recruit new troops.

However, Ji Xuanling knows the truth that if you want to strengthen the country, you must first strengthen the army.

"If Great Qin wants to stand, there must be a good fighting tiger, even if it smashes pots and sells iron, eats chaff and vegetables, it must train elite soldiers."

Smash pots and sell iron, eat bran vegetables, and train elite soldiers.

The Wenchen present learned of Ji Xuanling's determination and courage, for a while, there were no officials to refute again, and all the generals gradually became enthusiastic.

Ji Xuanling showed his attitude. Unquestionably, he commanded: "Shaofu, from today onwards, cut half of the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, and reduce the expenses of the palace. An edict was issued that all nobles and gentry, family slaves, maids, and guards should not exceed three times the number of their clansmen.

But whoever resists the decree and does not respect it, more than one person, will be fined 100 buckets of corn. “

Cut down the eunuchs and maids in the palace, and release the slaves, maids, and guards of the noble gentry families.

Shaofu Fan Yifa looked stunned and couldn't believe it.

His colleagues were also surprised and puzzled, the king was afraid of offending a group of nobles and gentry by doing this, and many families had to cut slaves, maids and nurses among the hundred officials.

It's a pity that Ji Xuanling set an example for the world by setting an example, first cutting the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, so that the officials present could not refute.

The king rules and cuts down the slaves.

When Shaofu hesitated, he said: "Your Majesty, cut the slaves of the noble gentry, for fear of causing instability among the people, and it is not conducive to the king pushing the executive order."

"Huh!"

Ji Xuanling sneered and said seriously: "Who is not satisfied, let him come to the palace to talk to the widow!"

"Your Majesty, the way of the herdsmen is to be safe, and it is good to change Daqin drastically, but if there is a mistake, it is easy to backfire!" Zongzheng's sheep cultivation Wendao.

After all, today's king is only in power, although he has the support of the generals in the army, but after all, the foundation is unstable.

It is imperative to consolidate the throne.

Ji Xuanling glanced at Yang Xiuwen and said loudly: "Aiqing's words are reasonable, the way of the herdsmen is in peace. Jia Aiqing, spreading the widow's will, from now on, calls on the people to reclaim the ownerless wilderness in the counties of Daqin, halve the rent and tax of all the people, and encourage farming.

All the mountains, forests, rivers and rivers of Daqin were opened, and merchants were allowed to mine minerals, develop fishery and salt resources, and produce salt and iron.

Abolish the customs clearance between the counties, allow the common people and merchants to come and go freely, and the goods to circulate freely, and promote economic ties between the localities,"

This...

Yang Xiuwen, Fan Yifa and other officials heard the news and became shocked.

The king has just made a decree that offends the nobles, and this side has given them even greater benefits.

This one-to-one strategy!

Served.

The five-body body admired by hundreds of officials was thrown to the ground.

Once the royal palace allowed private reclamation, merchants were allowed to mine, and fishery salt and iron ore were developed, not only the nobles, but also the common people and merchants would benefit, and it would also revitalize the lifeless commodity trade of Great Qin.

Taxes are like sesame seeds blooming.

"The king is wise." Yang Xiuwen, Fan Yifa, and Shi Jia Taichu of Zhisu Nei, sincere admiration.

Ji Xuanling shifted the topic to the matter of conscription, and ordered: "Captain, immediately send an edict, give amnesty to the world, pardon all prisoners in prisons, death row prisoners under the age of thirty in various places, form a Snapdragon army, and the widow will come to train in person."

Release the other prisoners and allow them to participate in reclamation and business.

In addition, among the freed guards and slaves, 50,000 soldiers were recruited and incorporated into the new army, and the new army was renamed the Xiaowu Army.

In case of war, all those in the army, regardless of their family origin, regardless of military rank, will be rewarded according to meritorious deeds, and if the heirs of royal nobles have no military merits, they will be disqualified from inheriting the title. ”
