At the grand celebration ceremony, on the vast bluestone ground of Wancheng in front of Lingyuntai, the nerves of those soldiers of the Southern Expedition who had tensed for a year were finally relieved in the carnival.

Duke Qin also met with a group of generals in the Xuanzheng Palace, among which Lin Yuyan took the lead, and on the Lingyuntai celebration banquet of Fang Cai, this Gongzi Yan, who was the commander of the three armies of the Southern Expedition, did not come forward, but at this time, the senior generals of the Southern Expedition who could enter the Xuanzheng Hall were all senior generals of the Southern Expedition, such as Fang De, the chief general of the Yulin Army, and the thousands of generals under his command, such as the generals of the Yunmeng Army and the Xiangyang Army.

The court where the Duke of Qin is located is based on civil officials, and it is also because Great Qin is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and military generals need to sit in all sides to defend the army, but recently, for the first time in decades, the number of military generals in the Xuanzheng Palace exceeded that of civil officials.

Because of the supply of grain and grass to support the army and horses of the Great Qin Southern Expedition, Wancheng Cang and even Shanglin Yuan had no grain in stock, Lin Yuyan came all the way, and the food shortage he saw was far more serious than his own, and it is no wonder that the grain and grass budget that Daqin took out at the beginning was to supply 300,000 people to eat for two years.

But all the way to the south, the Great Qin successively collected more than double the number of men and horses, and later after the capture of Yingdu, Lin Yuyan also sent the Qin soldiers from the Jing people to return to their hometown to bring back a large number of people, once reached a million, such a huge number, the daily consumption of grain into the Han water, enough to make the Han water cut off!

However, the harvest of the Qin people should not be underestimated, the land of Jiangbei is a long-term plan, and it cannot be immediately converted into real wealth, but don't forget, the treasures of the old Chu royal family in Yingdu have accumulated for several generations and years, and most of them fell into the hands of the Qin army, and the Yulin army brought some back, which is enough to make up for the deficit of Daqin's grain.

The top priority was to take these exquisite bronzes of the old Chu to the Central Plains vassal states in exchange for grain and grass to make up for the shortage of food in Great Qin.

The Duke of Qin knew the key point in this, and it was precisely because of this that the reward of the Duke of Qin this time was not a direct grain or a fiefdom, but a direct gift to the treasure, like Fang De, the chief general of the Yulin Army, in addition to entering the position of a general, he also received a lot of rewards from the currency (gold).

In the Xuanzheng Palace, it was the Duke of Qin who specially rewarded the generals of the Southern Expedition, and it was the Duke of Qin who decided the promotion of these generals.

However, there are also a lot of embarrassing places for military generals, such as Huangfu Gao and Sheng Nong, who were once born in the Qin Gong Zongwei, these former Great Qin generals, in the past, the Qin Gong appointed them as generals, and more wanted to take the military power from the old clan, but now, with the transformation of the Great Qin to protect the family and defend the country to expand the territory, the two former Great Qin generals had to return to the Zongfu again to be responsible for the training of Zongwei and military soldiers.

Even Fang De, who was a rising star, was only a mere 2,000 generals when they were generals, but now with the success of the southern expedition, he became the general in charge of the Yulin Army, and Huangfu Gao and Sheng Nong once became the assistance of the Yulin Army.

However, although these two people are a little enthusiastic about the reward of the Duke of Qin for these generals of the Southern Expedition, they have not yet reached the point of jealousy, after all, the matter of the Southern Expedition is really too difficult, and at first it seems that it is almost a small and broad, not only to face the soldiers and generals of the Jing State, but also to prevent the Chu people from rebelling and denying the alliance.

It was the great success of this time that made Huangfu Gao, Sheng Nong and the generals above the court all glance at Qin Gongzi Yingyan, who was at the forefront of the generals.

However, in just a few years and ten years, this Qin Gongzi Ying Yan has been able to grow from a cynical son to the most famous general in Great Qin, showing the blood and courage of the Ying clan.

As the minister of state, Han Kui also read the edicts drafted before reading them one by one and sending them to the relevant officials.

The most is naturally liquidated for war exploits, such as Fang De, the chief general of the Yulin Army, Ji Hunt, the chief general of the Yunmeng Army, Chen Zhiqing, the chief general of the Xiangyang Army, Wu Kang, Guan Ning, and other senior generals, the battle exploits were naturally liquidated early, and the Duke of Qin was also given without hesitation.

The reward rules mentioned by Han Kui are for the low-level soldiers of the Southern Expedition.

For example, those who participated in the southern expedition and only escorted grain and grass to the battlefield were reduced by five years, and they were also given rations and clothing for one year.

The subordinate people who participated in the battle should be reduced by ten years, and those who captured the corresponding enemy leaders or prisoners should be directly promoted to civil nationality and received the treatment and reward of the Qin people.

Those soldiers in the army, under the initiative of Han Kui, implemented the "Nine Grades of Military Merit Knighthood" that the Yulin Army first promoted.

In short, the Duke of Qin was not stingy with the rewards of these soldiers of the Southern Expedition.

After the celebration banquet of the Xuanzheng Hall stopped, Lingyun was still noisy and brightly lit, and Duke Qin also knew that these generals wanted to share the joy of their soldiers receiving rewards, so he also let them go early.

Han Kui and other ministers were not the protagonists of this celebration banquet, they all wanted to leave, but Qin Gong still left Han Kui, and the rest dispersed.

There is another person who stayed, and naturally it was Lin Yuyan, who was the commander of the Southern Expedition.

After everyone left, Qin Gong, who was still extremely heroic, restrained his slightly excited face, looked at Lin Yuyan, and also praised: "You did a good job in this southern expedition...... Even the ancestors of the Qin State have done nothing better than you. ”

Han Kui also nodded and said from the side: "The land of Jiangbei was obtained by Gongzi Yan leading the Great Qin soldiers, and the two battles of Yingdu also made Great Qin not afraid of the bullying of Chu State, and carried forward the prestige of Great Qin, His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan is indeed an excellent general!" ”

Qin Gong realized that he must not kill this tiger, so he also looked at Lin Yuyan and admonished: "Don't be arrogant, the courage of the soldiers is the support of the national strength, and the advantages of the soldiers also need to be picked up by the national strength. ”

Lin Yuyan naturally knew that the monarch's father was so secretly warned because of how much grain the southern expedition had consumed in Great Qin, so he stood up and persuaded him: "Monarch's father, this southern expedition to plunder the people of Jingdi is a long-term plan, and it is a ...... that the sons have experienced thoughtfully."

Originally, Duke Qin still thought that these six sons were going to say something, but he didn't expect to argue about this in front of him, as the lord of the Qin State, the vision he saw was definitely not comparable to that of a minister like Fan Xuan, so before Lin Yuyan finished speaking, Duke Qin directly interrupted him: "How can Lone not know your mind, watching you go to Lin Yuan to collect the displaced people, it can be seen that Lone is not treating the people you moved from Jingdi as a burden, but the root of the rise of Great Qin." ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan exhaled a sigh of relief, and looked at Duke Qin at the moment, knowing that this monarch's vision was beyond ordinary people's ability, the territory of Qin State was indeed vast now, but with a population of less than two million occupying such a vast land, there was inevitably some emptiness.

Millions of Jing people moved into the territory of Great Qin, and there were 100,000 people who could recruit soldiers alone.

But such a huge demographic dividend also requires a huge risk, and such a warship carrying overweight materials cannot withstand any wind and waves!

Since receiving the news that the battle of Qin and Chu had compromised with the Chu state, the energy of the Duke of Qin and even the entire court was focused on how to reduce the risk of millions of Jing people pouring into the territory of Great Qin.

The courtiers' suggestions were nothing more than the one to resettle the displaced people, build houses, and reclaim the land to resettle those displaced people, these clichés also made the Qin Duke unable to raise any interest, but the Minister of State Han Kui put forward a suggestive opinion of "reducing the Qin pawns".

But Duke Qin was still thinking about it, after all, sharpening the Qin pawn was directly related to the foundation of Great Qin, but Duke Qin didn't care, and he didn't make a decision so far.

"Father Jun is worried that the Qin State will not be able to digest the millions of Jing people?"

Even between the thoughts of Duke Qin, Lin Yuyan in the hall also spoke, directly interrupting Duke Qin's thinking, and immediately fell on the body of the sixth son, who had always given him a lot of surprises, so Duke Qin also asked: "Since you have all connected millions of Jing people into the territory of Great Qin, you should have your own countermeasures, and listen to your opinion." ”

Lin Yuyan took a step forward and also asked Gong Qin: "Son, please open the mansion and build teeth!" ”

"Open the house and build teeth?" Duke Qin also looked at Lin Yuyan and asked, "Didn't you leave the pavilion early?" ”

Han Kui, who was on the side, looked at Lin Yuyan's words, and nodded with understanding, as if he knew what the reason for Qin Gongzi to do this.

Lin Yuyan replied: "The so-called opening of the government and building teeth by the sons and daughters is to act independently, form a party for personal gain, and support party henchmen......"

The more Qin Gong heard the end, the more he wanted to scold this disrespectful sixth son, acting on his own, forming a party for personal gain, and supporting party henchmen are first-class crimes, if others commit such crimes, Qin Gong will also wipe out his three clans, even if Lin Yuyan, if he commits such a crime, he will be stripped of the position of the prince at the least, and exiled at the worst.

But Duke Qin's city government still made him hold back the anger in his heart, and when Lin Yuyan finished speaking one by one, Duke Qin had a gloomy face and didn't say a word.

Lin Yuyan, who had been paying attention to Duke Qin's face, also explained after a few breaths of silence: "The politics of the Great Qin State cannot be resolved overnight, it takes at least two generations to continue to implement the new policy of the Great Qin. Nurture the party! ”
