Now it is November, the snow in Wancheng this year is not late, and there is no mercy because of the lack of grain this year, the snow in Lingnan this year is particularly large, and the thick place is full of three feet deep, fortunately, the grain traded with Wei was put into the warehouse as early as early November.

Winter is bound to die, or because of the lack of warm clothing, or because of insufficient food, there is no way, even if they get the food aid of Wei, the people of Daqin are far more than three million, this winter, the Qin officials who gathered in Wancheng in the past also went to each important county to explore the disaster relief situation and the number of people.

Since the implementation of the household organization and Qi people in the territory of Daqin by the Minister of State Han Kui, a large number of people have not been fixed in one place in recent years, but with the annual conquest, a large number of soldiers, people and subordinates have been recruited, all of which have caused a deficit in the place of Daqin, and even this deficit has been maintained for several years.

So that the dismissal of the subordinates to return to their respective cities and cut the soldiers, it actually made the local acres appear in a temporary state of discomfort, it is precisely because of this, it is still in the winter can still be said, but don't affect the spring ploughing in March in the spring of the next year, this is also the time when Daqin maintained the winter year, that is, the persuasion of agriculture was assigned early, and the fields between the countryside were supervised.

The chaos of the people naturally inevitably reached the ears of the Great Qin officials, especially Han Kui, who was extremely concerned about internal affairs, and he also noticed that something was wrong early in the morning, and after naming the Duke of Qin, the Duke of Qin said: "Go and discuss with the sixth son how this matter should be ......."

The Duke of Qin, who has a rather vicious eye, can see at a glance the shortcomings of the internal affairs of Great Qin today, and the root cause lies in the [Nine Grades of Military Merit Awarding System] in the army implemented by the six sons.

A few years ago, this military merit award was only implemented in the Yulin Army, and further afield, after Han Kui started to reorganize the Nanyang Army, it also implemented a small part, but with Gongzi Yan leading the various armies to conquer the south and the north, it also pushed this military merit award to the various armies of Daqin.

In this way, it is the general's meritorious service knighthood that has made a kind of habitual understanding of the people of Daqin, and ordinary people think that enlisting in the army is a good opportunity to get ahead and make meritorious contributions, so nine of the ten families in Daqin have cut their heads and want to squeeze into the army.

Moreover, a large number of fields are gathered in the hands of military soldiers, and the specifications of hundreds of acres at every turn also make the Qin County Government aware of the inappropriateness, the population is endless, the war is also endless, and the military merits are inexhaustible.

If all the public land is turned into private land, the most important source of tax in Daqin - farming will collapse.

Moreover, most of the people who cultivated farmland in Daqin were rural people, and no matter how poor they were, they would hire two or three subordinates from the county government to help, as the owners of the land, and many of the Qin soldiers who could fight well would not go to the fields to cultivate crops in person.

As a result, there are some places that emphasize "war" over "farming."

At the beginning, when Qin Gong first saw that the nine-grade military merit knighthood system taken out by the sixth son was indeed able to stimulate the morale of the Great Qin soldiers, but after all, there were indelible drawbacks, after all, taking agriculture as the foundation was the guarantee of the prosperity of the country, if there was no food, there was no need for the enemy country to attack at all, and he was in chaos because of famine.

Now Han Kui has put the crisis of this matter in front of Duke Qin, and it is also for Duke Qin to abolish the "Nine Grades of Military Merit Knighthood" proposed by the six sons, but after all, it is to take care of the feelings of the six sons, and the Duke of Qin also entrusts this matter to Han Kui, so that Han Kui can persuade the six sons to be reasonable and emotional.

Han Kui understood what Duke Qin meant, and immediately left Duke Qin, except for the palace gate, which went directly to the left, and turned to the East Palace, which Gongzi Yan is now in charge of.

Although the East Palace is integrated with the Qin Palace, it is self-contained after all, separated by a palace wall.

This is also the first time that Han Kui has come to this so-called East Palace, and I have to say that the handwriting of the East Palace has been quite small recently, so that Han Kui also has to concentrate on staring at every move of the East Palace, for fear that something will go wrong.

set up a commercial office, prepared for the construction of various straights and canals in Daqin, traded grain with Wei, and funded the establishment of Daqin's public school and Nanyang Xue Palace...... These major events are all implicated in the prosperity of Great Qin's national strength, but Han Kui, who cannot strive to stabilize the word, does not pay attention to it.

Entering the East Palace, Han Kui saw an old acquaintance, who was He Shen, the cangliao of Wancheng Cang, although he was just a small official with a salary of three hundred deniers, but after all, he was the official who governed the largest warehouse around Wancheng, and he was also the prime minister's mansion who often went in and out of Han Kui.

He Shen also saw Han Kui, and after bowing respectfully, when Han Kui asked why he was here, He Shen replied: "It's that recently, there have been many grain exchanges between the East Palace and Wancheng Cang, and the lower officials are also waiting for the approval of the East Palace here." ”

"The approval of the East Palace...... Han Kui's eyes closed, and he turned his head to look at the main hall of the East Palace, there were many figures in and out, and even in the side halls on both sides, there were many figures walking around, Han Kui said in his heart: "The king just gave the East Palace the position of the Commercial Department, who would have expected that today, the East Palace actually used the Commercial Office to directly let many official offices in Wancheng obey the orders outside the palace......"

At that moment, there were also small officials in the East Palace who ran over to greet Han Kui, the minister of state, and Daoming Gongzi Yan was dealing with state affairs in the inner hall.

Along the way, Han Kui found that the most conspicuous halls in the East Palace were full of small officials walking back and forth, either holding calculations, or burying their heads in the desk to write something, and there were also entertaining various foreign officials, everything was in order, and it didn't seem chaotic at all.

has been introduced into the inner hall by the officials of the East Palace, and Han Kui noticed that there were only a few figures gathered in the huge inner hall, which was a little empty.

Lin Yuyan also learned of Han Kui's arrival after the communication, and also got up and came out to greet him: "I wanted to go to Han Xiang, but I didn't expect Han Xiang to come uninvited at this time......

Han Kui also asked, "I don't know what His Highness wants to do?" ”

Lin Yuyan pulled Han Kui to the table, picked up the parchment book displayed on the table, and smiled at Han Kui: "This is the news collected by Yu from the land of Lao Qin in Wuguan, Han Xiang will see if he feels a little familiar......
