Chapter 250: A Great Good Thing

……

A series of negotiations, first signed by the representatives of the coalition powers, and then handed over to the joint members of the two sides, made up of dignitaries from both sides, made a quick tour of the countries, where the de facto or nominal rulers of each country signed the terms of the peace for a period of thirty years. However, for this peace clause, the coalition forces need to pay a total of 40 million taels of gold within a year, including the Mughal princess and their dowry, in addition, the countries must also provide Da Zhao with 2 million young and strong forces for Da Zhao's propulsion except for war, which is allowed and must be replaced every five years, and the food and daily necessities of 2 million people must also be paid by the signatory countries every year. It is equivalent to that the countries gave Dazhao two million young and strong laborers who did not need to spend anything.

Of course, before all the war reparations were paid. All members of the coalition forces, including Osgrad, were to be disarmed and detained in the territory of Dazhao. Naturally, the money for these captives to eat, drink, and sleep also had to be paid by the allied forces. As for all war materials, including war horses and swords and the like, they are purely Da Zhao's trophies and will not be returned.

The reason why Zhao Zheken signed this contract was mainly because he was worried that if he was too domineering, he would provoke a more powerful armed force than the coalition army. And I have traveled through it for less than three years, and the time for farming is shorter. I have a small world and the support of these two babies. As long as he is given some time to develop, Da Zhao can develop rapidly under the condition of extreme speed. Instead of offending the world before you are fledgling, it is better to dive in and develop quickly. I believe that as long as you give yourself a few years, you can increase Da Zhao's comprehensive strength by more than several times.

Most of those loot Zhao Zhe also looked down on. In addition to the collection of some top-of-the-line sword armor. The rest was handed over to Shen Yijun and asked him to hold an auction within the scope of Dazhao. Anyway, in the territory of Dazhao, there are many rich and powerful families, and if they get some of the spoils of this foreign civilization and collect them at home, there will always be people who are interested. As for the remaining seventy or eighty thousand war elephants, this thing is really a huge expense to raise, and the surname Suo is also sold. After all, it costs a lot of money to raise this kind of giant elephant, but it can still reflect its value when it is used to carry heavy loads and do some business. Not to mention that elephant pulling is a good thing, the price of making handicrafts with ivory is also quite high. As a result, the total amount of money brought to Zhao Zhe by the entire batch of elephants will not be less than 100 million silver taels, of course, including the ivory of the elephant who died in battle.

After a series of estimates by Shen Yijun, the value of all the loot should exceed 300 million taels of silver, but except for elephants, a shipment with a surname is not necessarily a good thing. You'll have to sell it slowly, and it will take a few years to ship this batch of loot. In this battle, Da Zhao also suffered a lot of losses, with a total of about 300,000 soldiers killed and more than 100,000 disabled.

Fortunately, because of the destruction of the Houjin Kingdom, he made a fortune, after the previous consumption. There is still some money left, a series of pensions, and rewards to be distributed. Because of a big victory and a lot of income, Zhao Zhesuo increased the pension and reward several times with a stroke of the pen. More than 100 million silver was smashed, and there was jubilation in the army, praising the emperor's wisdom both in their hearts and in their mouths. It was Shen Yijun, but he looked like he was crying and mourning all day long, and he finally had some surplus money in the treasury, but most of it was spent in one go. The other side still has a lot of war reparations, and the spoils of war can be sold. The future can still be expected.

Not to mention things such as bereavement pensions and rewards, Zhao Zhe also pulled people and began to sum up the gains and losses of this war. There is no doubt that this war has benefited Da Zhao a lot. However, there are also many problems exposed in the war. For example, although the power and range of the Delicate Cannon and the Exquisite Gun are good, the cooldown problem is not dealt with well. For example, in fact, most of the soldiers who die do not die immediately on the battlefield, but are injured and later cannot be treated, and eventually lead to death. For another example, if the bow and arrow of the Golden Eagle Flying Horse fly higher and keep a safe distance, it is better to throw it down with a stone. If you use rocks, why not develop some bombs? The same is true of the shells of the exquisite artillery, and the shells used today are still iron balls. It's time to vigorously develop explosive shells.

Nowadays, due to the heavy use of small worlds in the battlefield, small worlds are no longer a big secret. It's just that the vast majority of people only know that the small world is a self-contained world. But I don't know how often I want to do it in a small world. As a result, Zhao Zhesuo's surname selected elites covering various fields in the entire department of the department, and the total number of technicians reached 10,000, and they were thrown into the small world to establish an institution known as the Sanctuary Research Institute to the outside world.

I don't know who I've heard about it, the so-called technology, science. It is human beings who have effectively summed up their own experience, eliminated the chaff, and formed science and technology. What Zhao Zhe wants to do is to make this Sanctuary Research Institute become the top scientific research base of Great Zhao. After all, having a time frequency of twenty times can at least speed up Da Zhao's scientific research and development speed by twenty times. Ten years later, Da Zhao's technology theoretically moved forward by two hundred years. Of course, this is just a theory. Many scientific and technological things are not easy to break through without a lot of use and summary. Fortunately, in this regard, there is a wise brain to rely on. There is also the recruited alien Sanfrey, which can make Da Zhao's own scientific research team take a lot of unnecessary detours.

After being busy with these things, Zhao Zhe had the leisure to enjoy some family fun with his family in the Forbidden City. Especially Princess Wushuang, she has begun to learn to walk and begin to know how to speak. In addition, Cai Guyan and Xu Linglong added a daughter and son to Zhao Zhe respectively. It's just that Guyan is very stubborn, and under Zhao Zhe's forcible oppression, after cultivating to the realm of grandmaster in the small world, she still lives outside the palace and continues to do her business. It's just that as soon as I have time, I will go back to the Forbidden City to reunite with Zhao Zhe and his daughter. Fortunately, the harem has always been the most secret and unknown place in history. Others only know that there is a Cai Guiren in the harem, but no one knows that Cai Guiren has always lived outside the palace and is doing those big deals that make Zhao Zhe a little embarrassed.

As for Linglong, after having a son, the surname is much more mature and stable. Naturally, after being made a concubine by Zhao Zhe, she also had no interest in living in the palace. was also forced to cultivate to the realm of the grandmaster, but fortunately, after having a good lifespan and a long youth, she began to continue to study her invention. Today, she is the director of the Sanctuary Research Institute, leading a large number of researchers to study the latest technology in the small world.

But Zhao Zhe knows that there are pros and cons to such a thing as a small world. The proportion of time is twenty times that of the outside, and it is used to do most things, which will allow Zhao Zhe to gain benefits in the shortest possible time. However, you said that Xu Linglong is a good and decent woman who studies science and technology in the small world all year round, and refuses to cultivate. It's one year outside, and it's twenty years inside. In other words, as long as Da Zhao's imperial calendar is advanced by six years, Rao is Xu Linglong has a grandmaster-level physique, plus the abundant aura in the small world, he will also die of old age.

This kind of thing is something that Zhao Zhe absolutely does not want to see. Who wants their wife to die of old age after six or seven years in the blink of an eye? Although in fact she did live for more than a hundred years. As a result, this point gave Zhao Zhe quite a headache. But I have to admit that if she personally presided over the research in the Holy Domain, Da Zhao's science and technology would indeed develop rapidly.

As a result, Zhao Zhe was raising spirit stones at the same time. He would always force Xu Linglong to cultivate, and gave her a deadline, if she didn't cultivate in the real world for one year, and twenty years later in the small world, he would personally drive her out of the small world. Fortunately, Xu Linglong is a very talented woman, not only those inventions and creations, but also quite good in cultivation. She is not a stupid woman, and she knows that if she remains in the realm of a grandmaster, her lifespan will only be more than a hundred or ten years old. Although for a scientific researcher, the life expectancy of more than 100 years is a long time. But for any scientist, the longer the lifespan, the better, because the longer the lifespan, the more knowledge and experience can be accumulated.

Therefore, she didn't show much resistance to Zhao Zhe forcing her to cultivate. After all, with a long lifespan, you can absorb more knowledge.

But the problem is that the cost of cultivating a congenital and cultivating a grandmaster is far different. To say that a person with excellent qualifications can become a grandmaster, he can almost do it by spending hundreds of spirit stones. But even if it is a person with excellent qualifications, from the Grandmaster to the Innate Cultivation, the cost required will not be less than five thousand spirit stones. This is still the lowest, as far as Zhao Zhe himself is concerned, even if he condenses qi into the liquid realm, if he cultivates to the innate realm, the amount consumed will not be less than five thousand.

Although Zhao Zhe coveted all kinds of innate strength, if he wanted to cultivate the innate troops on a large scale, it was something that he didn't have to think about. The only thing that I thought about was that it was already quite a great thing to be able to turn two top-level troops that played a great role in the battlefield into a full grandmaster. Fortunately, the Tiger Tooth Soldiers, at least at the level of the Golden Eagle Soldiers, are already the peak powerhouses of the first grade. With the powerful grandmaster, there is only a line of separation. Moreover, in this battle, the two units were the ones with the highest participation rate, and they experienced many fierce battles, and the combined casualties had reduced them to about 900 each. But those who survive have accumulated a lot of experience, and the battle of life and death is often the best way for people to make breakthroughs. As long as it costs dozens of units of aura, those who are about to be promoted can break through to the Grandmaster.

But although it is a small amount, I think that in addition to the more than three hundred who are already grandmasters, about 1,500 people will be promoted to grandmasters, even if there are a small number of each person, it is an extremely large number. What's more, these two armies need to be replenished with about two hundred fresh blood. If you want two thousand-strong armies to reach the Grandmaster level, the aura consumed is at least seventy or eighty thousand units.

This is an extremely large expense, and the spirit stone vein that Mughal married with the princess is a small mine, and tens of millions of spirit stones will be made if it dies. Far from filling this hole. As a result, Zhao Zhe could only replenish the army first, so that the two armies could be re-replenished. Two hundred with excellent qualifications, it takes three months to reach the peak of a product, and the aura consumed is not too big. Because in terms of the consumption of aura, the amount consumed below the grandmaster level is less than that of the grandmaster level and above, I don't know how many times.

But a grandmaster is a grandmaster, and his survival rate on the battlefield is far from being comparable to the pinnacle of a product. Even if you encounter an innate powerhouse, as long as the number reaches a certain level, you don't have to be afraid at all.

Fortunately, it took the lead in developing the spirit stone detector, and with the gradual detection of the whole country. Scattered miniature veins and some scattered spirit stones were discovered one after another, and two small veins were detected in Changbai Mountain and Mount Tai. It can be seen that although the spiritual stone veins on the earth are scarce, one or two small ones can always be found occasionally. Especially in those deep mountains and Daze, where people are rare, there are always some spiritual stone veins, and it is needless to mention arranging people to mine them.

Time, little by little.

Another year and a half flew by, and it was already the beginning of Yongtai's sixth year.

In the past year and a half, Zhao Zhe has spent most of his time on government affairs. Da Zhao Guo is like an industry waiting to be revived. Because of the foreign war, the army in the hands of the emperor was strong and powerful. In addition, with the full operation of the various clean government organs, the government offices at all levels throughout the country are undergoing rapid changes, and it is obvious that not only are the political roads gradually smoothed, but the government at all levels is also spending most of their efforts on government affairs.

Because Zhao Zhe attaches great importance to the construction of data, he has made a detailed setting for the performance of officials, and there are many rules and regulations listed on it. For example, during his tenure, a certain county official and county magistrate worked hard to improve water conservancy, which not only had the effect of flood control, but also increased agricultural output, and naturally achieved political achievements. But in the past, everyone has a different ruler in their hearts for this kind of political achievement, and only distinguishes what small merit is, big merit and so on.

However, Zhao Zhe has digitized them all. For example, to improve water conservancy, to what extent, how many ditches to dredge, how much farmland to irrigate, how many dams to repair, and so on. Based on these facts, they are translated into tangible performance data. An official's daily government behavior will be strictly recorded, and then counted into performance data.

Of course, it is obviously impossible for human beings to completely digitize political achievements and calculate them extremely fairly. This kind of thing can only be handled by a smart brain like Yiyi. As a result, according to Zhao Zhe's requirements, he compiled a set of performance management system by himself, and set up a process to operate this system. The performance of each official is measured into specific data according to the changes in the parameters of various circumstances.

Officials can be promoted and transferred upwards according to their own political achievements. Or the elimination of officials. Of course, Zhao Zhe also has a smart brain on hand. According to Da Zhao's current scientific and technological strength, if you want to make a computer in a short period of time, things like the Internet are still unrealistic. In this way, the role of officials and officials has come into play, and they have the power to record, evaluate, and verify government affairs.

It's very simple, because every point of political performance is recorded and checked, and it is what you have done to obtain this political achievement. It's easy to check. As a result, although most of the system is run by manpower, it can barely be maintained, at least it is a good start. Of course, there are rewards and punishments, and in the setting of the list of political achievements, there are countless things that reduce political performance.

As a result, Da Zhao's bureaucratic system is gradually moving in the direction of good surnames. Some officials who have the ability but do not know how to do things can also earn enough political capital to climb up the ladder by doing practical things, so that their talents can be better developed, instead of wasting their waste on flattering their superiors and digging out their minds to collude with the network. Now under the bureaucratic performance system of Da Zhao, everyone must be promoted or demoted according to the size of their political performance. Favors, relationships and the like, are of little use. Even if it is useful, it can only be used to better handle government affairs. Because really handling government affairs well and obtaining political achievements is the only way to be promoted.

Of course, Zhao Zhe did not expect the entire bureaucracy to become completely incorruptible, which is obviously a luxury. As long as there are people involved, there will always be all kinds of loopholes. As a result, Zhao Zhe also set up a special performance inspection team. The only thing they do is to question the performance of any official, not let go of any doubt, and then conduct a thorough investigation of him. Once it is found out who is cheating, lie about it. Even the officials who carried out the inspection will be unlucky.

If the development of science and technology is almost over, this set of performance settings and systems will gradually improve. Leaving most things to a more rigid computer system is more efficient and eliminates cheating.

Let's not mention it at this time, I only know that the current political situation of Da Zhao is relatively refreshing, and the political situation is relatively stable. Of course, for the time being, there are no ambitious people showing their fangs. After all, the strength that the emperor has at hand now is too strong, so strong that there is no way to resist. What's more, in this historical background, the emperor himself was ordered by heaven and was deeply recognized and recognized by the people as rulers. This is an innate advantage.

Zhao Zhe not only strengthened his own ruling power, but also agreed with this feudal society, the promotion and sacralization of imperial power. The Department of Rites not only manages the students of the world, but also has the responsibility of educating the world and etiquette the world. As a result, the duty of propagating the imperial authority and striving to sanctify the imperial power was entrusted to them.

The effect may not be obvious in a day or two, but after a long time, the imperial power will become more and more important in people's hearts. And some of the emperor's great achievements deliberately publicized also made Zhao Zhe, the Yongtai Emperor, more and more respected in the minds of the people.

Agriculture is the foundation of the country. In particular, Dazhao was originally a large agricultural country, and the vast majority of the people in the country were farmers. With a population of 130 million, it is not a simple matter to feed and feed them very well. Even when Zhao Zhe took over the poorest country, he did not relax his attention to the development of agriculture. Over the years, the energy and money lost in water conservancy have been countless.

As a result, the water conservancy system of the whole country is gradually improving, and the efficiency and quality of farmers' cultivation are also steadily improving. In addition to water conservancy, Zhao Zhe himself has a group of people who specialize in agriculture in the department of the government. Today, there are also a group of people in the Sanctuary Research Institute who are dedicated to improving agricultural productivity. A year and a half, for the agricultural researchers of the Sacred Domain Research Institute, a full thirty years have passed, but fortunately, the small world of the Sacred Domain is full of spiritual energy, and even if they don't cultivate, they can increase the lifespan and physique of many people. It took 30 years to achieve initial results in the improvement of rice and wheat seeds.

In the small world, the aura is abundant, the land is fertile, and the growth cycle is also shortened a lot. However, the rice grown here is extremely plump, and when peeled off, the grains are crystal clear. It is also exceptionally sweet and appetizing. Moreover, this kind of rice can improve human body functions, improve immunity, and increase longevity when eaten over time.

Because a small amount of cultivation is only for experimentation. Therefore, these crystal rice are only a tribute to the royal family. After decades of screening and optimization of rice varieties, rice varieties have made great progress in their own evolution. In order to simulate all kinds of different environments outside the small world, Zhao Zhe also specially let the small world consume some aura, and tested the latest rice varieties on hundreds of experimental plots in the small world, such as cold and heat, cold and heat, lack of aura, or poor nutrition.

Obviously, those rice varieties that have been optimized and cultivated for nearly 100 generations in an aura abundant environment. It has become a very strong, but not too strong rice seed with a surname. After trial production in various experimental fields, it was found that the rice varieties in those environments, both in terms of quantity and quality, were far inferior to those in the small world, and each grain seemed to be stunted.

However, even the appearance of stunted growth. Its comprehensive yield and quality are far better than the rice currently cultivated by Dazhao. If this rice variety is planted all over the country, the yield of Dazhao rice can be more than doubled, and the quality of rice will also be greatly improved.

Rice grown in all kinds of ordinary or harsh environments, although it is not as effective as Sanctuary rice, has an extremely obvious effect on the improvement of the human body. However, after long-term consumption, it also has some benefits for improving people's physique, but the effect is less than one-third. But even so, it is a big deal for the improvement of the national physique of the entire Dazhao.

Year by year, physique improvement, decades, one or two generations later. The physique of all the people of Dazhao will have a qualitative leap. And once the physique has changed, it will be passed on to the next generation through genes, which will make the next generation more likely to have a higher starting point, which is a great thing for a strong country.
