Chapter 23 The New Deal and Yan Yan
"See the King, King St. Ann."
When the new monarch ascends the throne, all the ministers, no matter how high you are, must bow to this first dynasty to show their loyalty to the king.
Ying Zheng looked at the group of people who knelt down and bowed, and said, "No courtesy." β
The waiter who was kneeling on the ground stood up and shouted, "No courtesy." β
The voice of the chamberlain stretched for a long time, spreading throughout the entire hall, and the chamberlain at the door of the hall continued to convey, "No courtesy." β
The shouts have been extended to the square in front of Zhangtai Palace, where the officials and officials of the entire Xianyang are bowed down, and on this day, in Xianyang, regardless of the size of the official position, they must go up to the court to see the new monarch ascend the throne.
It's just that some people can take a seat above the main hall, and some people stand in the square waiting for the meeting.
Some people have bowed down three times in these short three years, and some people have only been able to see Qin Jun once this time, and then they may not be able to see Qin Jun until they die.
"Sit down."
"King Xie."
Thirteen-year-old Ying Zheng is six feet tall, wearing a black cloth and red patterned clothes, a dragon with gold stripes, a beautiful jade belt around his waist, a gold hook, and a four-foot long sword hanging on his left hand.
Ying Zheng's hair was tied with a scarf before he was crowned, and a white jade hairpin was inserted on the top of his head, which was a gift from Zhao Ji.
Standing behind him were Shang Guan and Shang Shu, one Peng Yin and one Bingbi, Shang Xi stood in front of him and announced Ying Zheng's words loudly, and the dots were full of voices that had been stirred by internal forces.
The process was carried out step by step according to the previously agreed process, and each policy began to be determined.
The new king still governs the world with benevolence, exempts taxes for three years, relieves labor and conscription, and encourages childbirth and childbirth.
In addition to the military, the chariot soldiers and archers were completely abandoned, and heavy cavalry, light cavalry, crossbow cavalry, and crossbow infantry were formed.
The new government has two courts under its jurisdiction, the Agricultural Institute and the Machine Academy, and Tian He and Gong Yiqiu serve as the presidents of the two courts for the time being, and the assessment will be determined after three years.
At the same time, it opened up trade with the Qiang and Xiongnu, using salt, tea, cotton, grain and trade with the two tribes, and only collected horses, cattle and sheepskins, and ore as trading goods.
An hour has passed since these matters were settled.
At this time, Yan Yan stood up and said, "King, the minister has two things to send." β
Ying Zheng knew what Yan Yan was talking about.
Ying Zheng said: "The Taishi has something to give to the widow." β
Yan Yan said, "Your Majesty, please take a look." β
As he spoke, Yan Yan looked outside, and after a while, an attendant came in with a tray and a few potatoes and sweet potatoes, and placed it in the center of the main hall.
Everyone looked at the lumps that covered the dirt, they were like kudzu.
Yan Yan said, "These two things are not easy to come by, and they can solve the food crisis for our Qin country, so that my Qin country will not suffer from hunger, and the people of Qin will not experience starvation." β
Yan Yan's words made everyone stunned, they could avoid the pain of hunger and not experience starvation.
As Xiangguo, LΓΌ Buwei and Zhi Su Nei Shi Feng Qujian know best how valuable such things are.
Lu Buwei stood up and said, "Master, these two things can really be as you say. β
Yan Yan nodded.
Lu Buwei said, "Taishi, don't hide it, tell them about their efficacy." β
Yan Yan walked to LΓΌ Buwei's side and saluted him, then picked up the potato and said, "This thing is called a potato, high mountains, basins, rivers, fields, as long as there is soil, it can grow, and the yield per mu is extremely high, and it grows rapidly." β
"It's called sweet potato, it's the same as potatoes, and it's more productive than potatoes."
LΓΌ Buwei also took the potatoes and sweet potatoes in his hands, and he looked at the two things, "How many seeds are there, and whether they can be popularized." β
Yan Yan said, "Cut the two things into babies or fist-sized planting, during the care of fertilization and weeding is enough, in March into shade, April flowering, five months to be able to harvest, a vine can produce up to more than 30 catties, the lowest can be more than 10 catties, and it is extremely easy to preserve, the preservation method is appropriate, two or three years as new." β
LΓΌ Buwei was so excited that his hands were trembling, as the prime minister of the Qin State, his governing ability was beyond doubt. But in the past few years, he has always been restrained, why? It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.
Shi Feng also stood up and said, "Taishi, I don't know how many of these two things exist. β
Yan Yan said, "Three thousand catties of potatoes and four thousand catties of sweet potatoes." β
Feng Qu said quickly, "King, please aim to promote this thing in Xianyang, and come to the army to protect it, and when it matures, it will be nationalized, and let it continue to be planted." β
"Five years, no, three years."
"In three years, my Great Qin will never have a famine."
Yan Yan said, "I don't know the internal history, there is a very fast way to plant this thing. β
Feng went and said, "Master, please speak." β
Under these two species, seedlings will grow, and a section will be intercepted, and the soil can be inserted to live, and the original seedlings will not be damaged. β
Yan Yan's words stimulated everyone even more, they looked at the two lumpy things, are these two things so easy to survive?
Feng Quji looked at Yan Yan and said, "Taishi didn't laugh. β
Yan Yan "never dared to laugh about this matter. β
Feng Qu said quickly, "King, in this way, in a year and a half, it only takes a year and a half, and my Qin Kingdom can be popularized." β
"Please order the king to rise from Xianyang throughout the country to popularize these two species."
Yan Yan: "The king, these two things are not their highest yield now, and I also ask the king to order the farm to plant two things, observe the two things, and increase the yield of the two things. β
Ying Zheng looked at Yan Yan, Feng Quji, and Lu Buwei, and the expressions on the faces of the three of them were basically the same, they were all distressed looks.
Ying Zheng "Accurate." β
Tian He looked at the two crops on the side, and at this moment he felt very fortunate and glad that he had made a choice.
Yan Yan said, "The king, the minister still has something to do." β
Ying Zheng: "Taishi, please speak." β
Yan Yan's "marching and fighting, pay attention to the speed of a soldier, so the minister proposed to renovate the road from Xianyang in eight directions. Along the way, a small post station was built every fifty or fifty miles, a medium post station was built every two hundred miles, and a large post station was built every five hundred miles. β
"Each of these eight main roads must be six zhang wide and can accommodate four vehicles running side by side, so as to make the way for the rapid movement of troops and the rapid transmission of war reports in wartime."
Wang Di, Meng Fu, Meng Wu, and Feng Zai stood up and said, "The king, the last general and others agree with the Taishi's proposal. β
Lu Buwei also nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the minister also agrees with the Taishi's proposal." β
All the generals spoke up, "The last general agrees with the Taishi's proposal. β
Ying Zheng looked at Yan Yan, and he didn't expect Yan Yan to propose this policy.
Ying Zheng "Accurate." β
"The king is mighty."
Yan Yan then saluted and said, "King, there is still a government that needs to be proposed. β
Ying Zheng looked at the teacher, every policy is related to the great plan and general trend of the Qin State, I don't know what will be next?
Ying Zheng: "Taishi, please speak." β
Yan Yan "The Qin army exists in the form of guards in the counties and counties, but only in important military places will the army be stationed all year round, and the rest of the guards are all soldiers in wartime and people in agriculture. β
"In this way, the combat strength of the armies in various places will not be the same, so the minister suggested that the conscription system be abolished and the military system should be adopted."
Ying Zheng" Taishi elaborated. β
Yan Yan "abolished the conscription system, the Qin State does not need a large number of people to join the army, what is needed is a real army." β
"Divide the army into two kinds, one is the Qin State Army and the other is the Qin National Army."
Meng Fu said, "Taishi, what is the difference between the two. β
Meng Fu already understands the truth, but singing needs a tower, and the court needs superfluous voices.
Yan Yan "The Qin army, but all men in the first year of the crown must join the army, receive at least one year of military training, and at the end of the year, they can choose to leave the army or choose to stay in the army. β
"Those who choose to leave the army must return to their guard post to report and join the local people's army, becoming the reserve force of the Qin army, and can go to the battlefield to fight and kill the enemy at any time."
"In addition to accepting soldiers who have left the army, the people's army must also regularly organize military training for local people, so as to ensure that when the war comes, everyone in the city can assist the army in defending the city and help the army inquire about information."
When Yan Yan said this, he looked around and said in a deep voice, "I'm talking about anyone, young children are less than twelve, the elderly and women have passed the destiny of heaven, and men have passed the sixtieth birthday, so they don't need to participate in the training of the people's army." β
"Officials, aristocrats, wealthy merchants, commoners, slaves all need to be involved."
As soon as Yan Yan's voice fell, the court was silent.
Yan Yan said loudly: "If I, the Qin State, want to swallow up the six countries of the Kwantung region, we must work hard and work hard. β
"Sweep away the countries outside the border in one fell swoop with absolute combat power."
Ying Zheng stood up, looked at the ministers in the hall and said, "The secretaries have objections to the Taishi's proposal. β
"The ministers have no objections."
Yan Yan's proposals are all proposals to enhance the national strength of Qin, and he also speaks with the righteousness of swallowing up the six countries of Kwantung, and whoever dares to oppose it at this time is opposing Qin's destruction of the six countries and opposing the king of Qin.
Ying Zheng "Xiangguo, Taishi, Feng Quji, Tian He obeyed orders. β
The four of them saluted and said, "Wait for the order." β
Ying Zheng "ordered you to make every effort to popularize potatoes and sweet potatoes." β
"Obey."
Ying Zheng" Cai Ze listened to the order. β
Pawn Cai Ze said: "The minister is here." β
Ying Zheng "ordered you to lead the pawn envoys to the Qiang and Xiongnu to discuss trade matters." β
"The ministers obey."
Yingzheng "Wang Di, Meng Fu, Meng Wu, and Yan Yan listened to orders." β
"Wait for orders."
Ying Zheng "ordered you and the other four to implement the new military administration that the Taishi said." β
"The ministers obey."
Yingzheng: "LΓΌ Buwei obeyed the order. β
"Obey orders."
Yingzheng "ordered you to implement a new policy." β
"Obey."
Ying Zheng "loses the enemy and obeys the order." β
"The minister is here."
Ying Zheng "ordered you to lead the machine government to develop new types of armaments and trap beasts. β
"Obey."
"Zhang Qin listened to the order. β
Shaofu Zhang Qindao: "The ministers listen to the order." β
Ying Zheng "ordered you to cooperate with the Guardian Pavilion to jointly build a straight road station." β
"Minister's order."
Yingzheng "scattered the dynasty." β
"Scattered."
"Congratulations to the king."
Ying Zheng's figure disappeared from the throne.
Outside the main hall, all the officials were so shocked by the news that came out of the dots that they couldn't speak.
Isn't that Taishi's ability to govern the country too terrifying, first to solve the food problem, and then to solve the military problem.
One problem after another was resolved by him, and it only took two or three hours for the Qin State to once again have the power to get out of the pass, and there would be no shortage of troops in the entire Qin State, and all the names were soldiers.
Yan Yan, LΓΌ Buwei, Meng Fu, and Wang Di were summoned to the apse by Yingzheng.
Ying Zheng sat on the throne and asked everyone to sit down after seeing the four of them saluting.
Ying Zheng called the four Aiqing here to ask the four Aiqing, how long will it take for the Qin State to start fighting for the world. β
The four of them glanced at each other, all silently calculating the time.
Ying Zheng looked at Wang Yu and said, "Old general, you are a veteran of the Qin State, and you have experienced a lot of wars, what do you think?" β
"King, if all the policies above the hall are implemented today, the old minister thinks that it will take five years." β
Meng Fu said, "King, General Wang is right. β
"The Taishide policy is a good policy for the Qin State, but no matter how good the policy is, it can't be achieved overnight, it takes time."
Ying Zheng nodded, then looked at Lu Buwei and Yan Yan and said, "What about the teacher and Xiangguo?" β
LΓΌ Buwei said, "The king, the minister has calculated, it will take five to seven years to transform all policies into a warlike force. β
Yan Yan: "The king, the policy is beneficial to the country, as General Meng and Xiangguo said, it takes a certain amount of time to transform into combat effectiveness. β
"For example, the construction of straights and post stations will take several years. In order to popularize potatoes and sweet potatoes in the early stage, they must not be kept and used as rations, so it will take one to two years to harvest. β
Yingzheng "Since this is the case, then let the countries of the world be calm for a few more years!" β
Yan Yan shook his head and said, "King, the world can't calm down. β
Lu Buwei nodded and said, "Since it has been decided to destroy the Six Kingdoms, then from now on, we must divide the Six Kingdoms and attack the Six Nations, so that they cannot develop and grow calmly." β
Yan Yan "Xiangguo is right, so after waiting for a year, you can go out of the customs to attack Han and Wei, and let the two countries tear up the alliance What a stupid thing." β
Meng Fu saluted and said, "King, I am willing to be the vanguard to attack the two countries, and I will be ashamed." β
Ying Zheng: "General Meng is good at training, and he will naturally let you go on the expedition when the time comes." β
"King Xie." β
Ying Zheng "Serve." β
The chamberlain brought the meal and put it on the table in front of each person.
Ying Zheng raised his glass and said, "All the secretaries raise their glasses." β
The three of them raised the wine on the dining table, and Yan Yan also raised the teacup.
Ying Zheng "drink." β
After the meal, Ying Zheng left Yan Yan and let the three of them leave first.
The three of them also knew Yan Yan's status and special in Ying Zheng's heart, and they didn't dare to show any ideas. Besides, Yan Yan's thinking and governing policies are too high, and every policy today is a policy to strengthen the country, but in his mouth, he said so much at once, he had to obey.
Lu Buwei also knew that he could still sit in the position of the king of Xiangguo, which was related to Yan Yan, so he didn't dare to have any means in the territory of Qin.
Yan Yan left Xianyang and sent several groups of people to disappear, proving that Yan Yan had someone around him to protect him or his own strength.
But since he can still sit in the position of the prime minister, although the rights have been divided, it is still a country and a country above ten thousand people.
