"Get up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info If you want to go back to your hometown to retire, tell me that you are an old man by my side. I also hope that you can reunite with your family and enjoy the joy of humanity. ”

The polo on the school field below seems to be almost at the stage of separating the winner and the loser.

Hearing Hu Hai's words, Que Xian'er turned her head to look at Hu Hai below, and blinked her eyes delicately. Others may not know it very well, but she knows that even if all the large and small government affairs of Daqin are handled by the Cabinet Office now, even the young saint who is rare in asking questions actually knows everything up and down in Daqin the most clearly.

Because in the past few years, when Crane Guanzi was still alive, the place where Hu Hai left Xianyang Palace and went to the most was Ganquan Palace. And when I stayed, I was drinking wine and playing chess with my grandfather all day long, but I forgot about the New Year.

And whenever the old and young are playing chess and tasting wine, in most cases, it is Que Xian'er who cooks it herself.

Nowadays, the ingredients of Daqin have gradually become richer, and with the establishment of the Western Regions County, many unique ingredients that originally belonged to the Western Regions have gradually begun to be widely cultivated in various parts of Daqin. With the opening of the Central Asian trade route, more and more spices originating from Central Asia have flowed into Daqin in the past two years, and have begun experimental cultivation in the hands of professors from the Agricultural College of the Royal Academy.

Under the deliberate guidance of Hu Hai, the high-quality pigs originating from Bashu were designated as royal tribute four years ago, and with the establishment of five pig farms around five distilleries near Xianyang, pork has gradually entered the dining table of ordinary people in Daqin in recent years. And because the price of pork is cheap, it was quickly accepted by the people all over Daqin and cultivated on a large scale.

At the same time, in the four counties of Jiuyuan, Longxi, Inner Mongolia and Pingyi, Huhai set up 37 new royal ranches on the basis of the original 12 royal horse farms.

Of the 37 royal ranches, 12 are horse farms. The remaining 25 places are specially used to breed cattle and sheep and other livestock for the people of Daqin.

And this is only the pasture set up by the royal family, and does not include the cattle and sheep raised by the Donghu people, who originally lived on nomadism and are now settled.

There is no shortage of war horses in Daqin now, high-quality horses are horses that can be used as war horses, a year ago, the statistics of Taifu Temple have reached more than two million, which is only the number of good horses in the twenty-four royal horse farms, not counting the wild horses on the vast prairie and the horses raised by herdsmen.

Beef and mutton obviously provide more energy than pork, so that the physical fitness of the Qin people will not be reduced by eating pork.

Of course, it only relies on the cattle and mutton produced in the pastures far away from the center of Daqin, and with the transportation conditions of Daqin today, unless it is more convenient to transport in winter, a lot of manpower and material resources are needed to send those mature cattle and sheep to various counties for slaughter and sale. Therefore, there is still a huge gap in the demand for beef and mutton in Daqin, and at this time, it can only be solved and digested by the people, which is why Huhai did not prohibit the people from slaughtering cattle and sheep by themselves.

In ten years, the vast majority of the people in Daqin had more or less one or several cattle and sheep in their homes. These. The calves provided by the imperial court for free were given to the people.

The premise for all this is that Great Qin controlled the vast grasslands that stretched from the north to the Siberian Plain, which has now become the most important livestock base and pasture in Great Qin.

The Jiuyuan Army, the Qinglong Army, and the Dragon Tiger Army, which has been stationed in the depths of the grassland in Inner Mongolia County, except for the "royal" name battle, which once appeared, and then seemed to have disappeared in the sequence of the Great Qin Legion, Hu Hai calculated that 300,000 troops were arranged to guard the vast northland, but it was enough.

Crane Xian'er has cooking skills that can't even be compared to the imperial kitchen, in fact, she also has to thank Hu Hai for his guidance. Although Hu Hai doesn't know how to make it himself, he still has no problem naming certain dishes and how to make them.

It's just that today's events have given Que Xian'er a new understanding of the young emperor beside her. A little eunuch and an attendant, he can remember it in his heart. It's not a big deal to ask about the millions of armies he has single-handedly trained to die for.

Crane Xian'er's beautiful eyes flickered, but she didn't notice that Wang Yan was so frightened that she even forgot to cry after hearing Hu Hai say that he could let him return to his hometown.

The chamberlain never said that even if he died, he must die in the palace. The emperor said so. Could it be that he didn't want to use himself anymore to drive himself out of Xianyang Palace?

"Your Majesty forgives your sins, Your Majesty forgives your sins. The subordinates did not want to return to their hometowns, and the subordinates no longer dared to mention the matter of returning to their hometowns, and asked Your Majesty not to expel the subordinates from Xianyang Palace! I beg your Majesty forgiveness! ”

Wang Yan, who was in a state of confusion, knelt on the ground and walked to a place a few steps away from Hu Hai, kowtowing and crying. He thought that Hu Hai knew his occasional homesickness. I was angry in my heart and wanted to expel him from Xianyang Palace.

Wang Yan's reaction was really beyond Hu Hai's expectations. So much so that the melancholy on his face instantly froze.

What kind of situation is this, I kindly let you go home to retire. Enjoy the joy of humanity, do you still think I am going to harm you? If I want to hurt you, do you need to talk so much?

The muscles on Hu Hai's face couldn't help twitching twice, and the fairy next to her, who was suddenly so like Wang Yan, couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker when she saw Hu Hai with black lines on his head.

It's hard to see the wonderful expression on his face.

There were more than Hu Hai and Que Xian'er and his party in the stands, Wang Yan's reaction was too great, at this time, there were already students from the Royal Academy who had discovered the situation here, but when they looked around, someone wanted to come over to see what was going on, but they were stopped by the guards of the Longwei Mansion scattered around.

Da Qin did not kneel, and Hu Hai even forbade kneeling on ordinary occasions, and at this time, Wang Yan knelt on the ground and kowtowed, which is difficult for people to think about the good side.

"Presumptuous, don't you hurry up, what kind of system is this?" Seeing that more and more students were gathering over, they had already pushed and shoved with the guards of the Longwei Mansion who could not reveal their identities according to Hu Hai's edict, Hu Hai frowned and scolded in a low voice.

Wang Yan couldn't help but tremble when he heard Hu Hai's scolding, but he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to cry, he habitually got up and bowed to the side, and he didn't dare to make a sound.

Hu Hai's majesty at the moment when he scolded Wang Yan once again made the beautiful eyes of the fairy beside him shine again and again.

After getting along for a long time, most of what she saw was Hu Hai's lazy side, such as the food she made was delicious, but she was always picking and choosing at herself while putting down chopsticks; For example, when my grandfather played chess, he always played repentant chess, and so on.

Most of the time, he was like a young man who was more ordinary than ordinary people, but the power he showed at that moment was something that even she couldn't help but feel worried about.

This is the time to face the ministers and officials.

"When did I say I was going to expel you from the palace? How do you serve me when you can't walk anymore? Hu Hai glanced at the Crane Xian'er beside him, who suddenly became extremely quiet, and continued in a slow tone: "The eunuch and chamberlain in Xianyang Palace, you are the person I trust the most. I might as well tell you today, and you should have discovered that since I ascended the throne, I have never added any eunuchs to the Xianyang Palace.

The number of eunuchs and attendants in Xianyang Palace is still left by the previous father. In the future, all the palace attendants will select women of appropriate age from the territory of Daqin, and will no longer castrate men to select palace attendants. You get the idea? ”

Abolishing the inhumane system of eunuch castration and palace punishment, Hu Hai has been accumulating. In recent years, Xianyang Palace has successively released some young chamberlains from the palace and allowed them to return to their hometowns.

Now there are nearly 10,000 male eunuchs in Xianyang Palace and the rest of the royal palaces such as Afang Palace, Ganquan Palace, and Zhangtai Palace, and half of these more than 10,000 people entered the palace in the year when Zhao Gao was powerful.

Of course, when the first emperor also created a lot of eunuchs, according to Zongzheng Mansion, more than ten years after the first emperor ascended the throne, the total number of prisoners and men sentenced to palace punishment in the whole country exceeded 700,000. And most of these men built the Mausoleum of the First Emperor and the Afang Palace in Lishan.

Hu Hai doesn't want to mention the past again, but in the past few years, the household department has begun to count the people who were punished by the palace and make appropriate compensation. Of course, this compensation can only be made in private, but it is not announced to the public. However, in this way, Hu Hai has risen directly to the same height in the hearts of those released prisoners.

In the land of China, the eunuch system that lasted for thousands of years, Hu Hai hoped to completely cut it off from his own Great Qin. Of course, what kind of method to use to select women to enter the palace, what kind of management methods, and when they can leave the palace need to be carefully studied before they can be decided.

After all, there are too many women in the palace, and improper management is also prone to some other problems. Moreover, if there are villains in the folk women, the damage caused is extremely huge, and there are too many secrets in the palace, how to prevent the leakage of royal secrets is also a more serious challenge.

However, compared with solving the matter of the eunuch system, these things can be overcome in Hu Hai's opinion.

Wang Yan heard Hu Hai's words at this moment, but he already felt that his head was a little insufficient. Que Xian'er didn't have an intuitive feeling about this matter, and besides, this was a royal housekeeping, and she couldn't do anything about it.

Although Wang Yan was a little confused, he understood one thing. That is, from him onwards, there will be no eunuch chamberlains like himself in the Xianyang Palace, and the emperor will no longer use eunuch chamberlains.

Psychologically speaking, as an unsound man, Wang Yan should have been the most touched by the eunuchs. It's just that with his consciousness, he obviously can't think of too many profound places.

As long as you don't want to expel yourself from Xianyang Palace, it's fine, isn't it?
