Three Princes and Nine Qings, the highest level of power in Great Qin!

Since Xianyang, the decree has been quickly conveyed to hundreds of officials through the Taiwei, the prime minister, and the imperial historian, and the counties of the world have been flying!

As a result, following the reduction of taxes and the establishment of the Qin Law, the originally slightly relaxed life of the people of the world became tense again.

Without him, it is necessary to use conscription to start construction!

In particular, for large-scale infrastructure projects involving the whole world, counties and counties in various places have begun to levy conscription.

Of course, compared with the past, now the grain production has increased in an all-round way, and the law has been changed to a certain extent, even if the large-scale levy is not too harsh, and the levy is no longer levied during the busy agricultural season, in fact, the people can live.

Because the current Daqin is completely able to feed the family by farming alone.

Moreover, because of the increase in grain production, the food during the conscription was naturally much richer, so that the people would not be weakened and died of illness and starvation after serving the conscription.

Of course, no matter how much conscription is levied, it will inevitably have a certain impact on people's livelihood.

Originally, in the agricultural slack season, Qianshou could use his free time to engage in some handicrafts or engage in some other production and business activities to obtain additional income, improve the quality of life, or save family savings.

Now, with the exception of the all-important agricultural hours, their leisure time is almost occupied by forced labor.

Of course, because it is a large-scale infrastructure project, the conscription and conscription are all in the county, and a considerable part of them serve in the township.

The main content of the service is mostly projects involving people's livelihood such as bridge building, road paving, and canal irrigation, so the resistance of the head of the Qiantou is not very high.

Working locally means not having to be too far from home.

Contribute to the local infrastructure, roads, bridges and canals, most of the locals can also use.

Therefore, as long as the government does not encroach on their cultivation time and can ensure food, the work enthusiasm of the head of Qiantou is still quite impressive.

In the final analysis, the previous life was too depressing, and Qianshou had just escaped from the sea of suffering, so he was still able to adapt to this kind of large-scale conscription.

After all, it used to be like this, and it was even worse than now.

At the same time, Daqin's department in charge of foreign affairs, "Dianke", was officially renamed Daxing Ling.

At the same time, under the instruction of Zhao Si, Daxing Orders began to send diplomats to various countries one after another.

The main purpose is to establish a diplomatic department, form regular diplomacy, and establish a foreign office.

Wuheng and Xianbei, who intervened most deeply with Great Qin, were the first to establish the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Great Qin.

Because of the great power of the Xiongnu, Wuheng Xianbei could only rely on the reason of Daqin's snort, and the two generously set aside Daqin to set aside an area of about 30 inclinations of land in the royal city to establish an embassy, and at the same time, Wuheng Xianbei also officially sent diplomatic personnel to settle in Xianyang to set up an embassy.

Of course, Xianyang is the center of the world, and the buildings are already quite dense, and every inch of land is expensive, so it is impossible to set aside a piece of land for them to establish an embassy, so the final result of the negotiation is to set aside a street as a future diplomatic street.

Of course, it is impossible for this street to be given to Wuheng and Xianbei in its entirety, strictly speaking, they only occupy a few houses, and the vacant ones are for the convenience of embassies from other countries.

After Wuheng Xianbei and Daqin formally established diplomatic relations, they were followed by the Xiongnu.

Because of Great Qin's strong intervention in the steppe and Mao Dun's fear of Great Qin, the main development direction of the Xiongnu was concentrated in the west.

Now the Xiongnu are beating according to Dawan, a pig is advancing suddenly, if it goes well, it won't be long before the Xiongnu can pass the copy of the Western Regions.

The Xiongnu couldn't defeat Daqin because Daqin was too strong, in fact, the current Xiongnu still had no problem with friction with the countries of the Western Regions.

Of course, because Yinshan was almost completely taken away by Great Qin, in fact, no matter how smoothly the Xiongnu progressed, Great Qin could still free up his hands to meddle in the Western Regions pattern at any time.

After all, the portal had been handed over by the Xiongnu, and it was almost nonsense to want to completely block the road to the west of Great Qin.

Because there has been no friction for a long time, coupled with Maodun's foreign policy and the reason that the porridge is hostage to Qin, the current diplomacy between Great Qin and the Xiongnu is in the honeymoon period.

Therefore, after the consultation, Mao Dun also set aside 300 dumps of land near the royal city for Daqin to set up an embassy, and at the same time, the Xiongnu envoys also officially settled in Xianyang to establish an embassy.

Later, with the efforts of Li Shiqi, Jizi Joseon also officially sent an envoy to Daqin, and quickly finalized the establishment of an embassy.

It was followed by Ye Tiaoguo and Zhenban and other countries of the Eastern and Southern Barbarians.

After that, the Great Decree began to exert force, signed a series of equal and friendly trade treaties, and gradually liberalized foreign trade.

The Qin State was heavy and simple, far less than the Tang and Song dynasties, where luxury goods emerged one after another, and materialism was rampant.

However, the national strength is here, and the Qin State is the most developed country in terms of productive forces, and the quality and quality of goods are absolutely first-class, so the trade treaty that does not involve internal and military affairs is quickly and successfully.

Who doesn't want to take advantage of Big Brother?

Of course, Zhao Si's purpose was not to trade.

Trade is established for the purpose of establishing contacts, and establishing contacts is for the purpose of finding out the situation.

After the signing of the treaty, the Great Decree began to organize people to set up caravans to investigate the situation of various countries in real time.

Of course, in addition to the caravan, there is also a certain amount of academic exchange, eh...... It is a bit too much to say that it is an academic exchange, and it is purely a unilateral crushing of Great Qin.

Under Zhao Si's will, in addition to organizing caravans, Daxing also organized a group of scholars to go to various countries for academic discussions.

Their role can be seen as that of later generations of European missionaries.

On the one hand, it is to promote the reputation of Daqin, on the other hand, it is to carry out cultural propaganda, and secondly, it is to get in touch with the politics of various countries.

Students, caravans, one bright and one dark...... Zhao Si's ambition is almost obvious.

In fact, Zhao Si didn't think about annexing too many countries, but whether he annexed or not, it was always good to know more about the other party.

With the establishment of embassies of various countries, the initial success of the diplomatic system, the initial opening of trade, and the recovery of private commerce, cross-border trade is quite prosperous.

In particular, Xianyang, as the first place and an area where diplomats from all over the world gather, also gathers the most rare things.

Of course, there are occasional things that don't happen that are so friendly.

For example, some countries maliciously probed on Qin's political news, such as some commercial and economic disputes related to foreign trade......

The bigger the stall, the more things will naturally be, in the same way, if Zhao Si has the intention to spy on other countries, it is inevitable that other countries will test Daqin.

Of course, the cultural plagiarism of Zhao Si actually does not mind, and even the political imitation of Zhao Si is strongly in favor.

The only thing he has to guard against is technology......

The more similar the culture, the more similar the political model, and the more convenient it is when it is annexed.

If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't so obvious, Zhao Si would even be eager to send hundreds of students to carry out a series of political reforms for this group of Fanbang barbarians.

Diplomacy aside, the general government has also begun to exert force.

The first is the reform of pay and job content......

The current Great Qin does not have slaves in the strict sense, at least there is no such thing as slaves in the law, and the vast majority of the handicraftsmen who will work in the Shaofu are naturally no longer subordinate concubines, but in fact, as a remnant of the old times plus other factors, they are no different from the previous days.

The same is under personal control, and there is no salary.

Under Zhao Si's repeated orders, Qian Gong had no choice but to let go of the money......

At the same time, the branch of the Shaofu in Jiaodong, Longxi and other places is also under close preparation and construction.

Zhao Si planned to directly establish a military factory in an area where the military was concentrated, and it was also under the jurisdiction of the general Shaofu, but the advantage was that it could be built on the spot and distributed nearby, and there was no need to transfer it from Xianyang.

Of course, there are drawbacks...... The borderlands are already chaotic, and once a large-scale military factory is built, once it is conquered, it means that the enemy will not only get a city......

However, the area around Jiaodong in Longxi is now a borderland......

The future may be the hinterland.

In this regard, Zhao Si has been thinking for a long time, it is impossible to unify the earth, and the limit of the empire is here, but it may not be impossible to try one or two across Europe and Asia.

No matter how bad it is, there is no problem in becoming a speaker in the entire Eurasian region, as long as the territory is large enough, the area around Jiaodong and Longxi can be regarded as the hinterland.

It's much simpler to govern the internal history of the chestnut, and their main task is to increase production!

Under the instruction of Zhao Si, Zhili Neishi began to recruit agricultural assistants from the hundreds of schools.

The work of the agricultural assistant is to go deep into the counties and villages to popularize the latest and most scientific crop cultivation and planting techniques summarized by farmers.

He said that he was an official, but in fact he was just a supernumerary, with no rights, and his salary was very low.

But! The experience and achievements of agricultural officials are counted as political achievements.

If you are not an official, you will naturally not count, but the achievements of taking the official career will be included in the reference, so there are naturally not a few people who participate.

As for the results, it has not yet been shown, after all, it takes time for grain to grow, and Qianshou's learning ability is not so strong, and in agriculture, only five years can achieve initial results.

The most important thing is, of course, the reform of the military aspect.

The first to bear the brunt is Lingnan......

After the selection of the 600,000 troops in Lingnan, 60,000 horses were initially selected to become permanent full-time soldiers.

Off-duty soldiers!

That is, non-commissioned officers who do not carry out any production activities and are only responsible for combat missions.

Originally, Zhao Si was ready to approve it, but he received a letter from Shusun Tong, so Zhao Si waved his hand and ordered Zhao Tuo to reduce 60,000 soldiers and horses to 30,000.

The reason is very simple, although only one-tenth of the 60,000 people selected out of the 600,000 are selected, the number of high-quality soldiers is still no more than 30,000.

The remaining 30,000 is a bit of a number, and the cost of the off-duty soldiers is too high, not because they can't afford this money, but because this money is wasted on inferior soldiers.

As a result, the military composition of Lingnan changed from the original 600,000 production and construction corps to more than 500,000 tuntian soldiers and 30,000 non-commissioned soldiers.

The taxes of the Tuntian soldiers are very heavy, and in addition to their own rations, they have to support 30,000 full-time soldiers, which can be said to be beyond their means, and Xianyang has to support it to a certain extent.

Of course, this is only an expedient measure, and when Lingnan is completely developed, there will be no special troops such as the Tuntian soldiers, and the land will completely belong to them, and they will no longer need to undertake combat missions and the task of supporting soldiers.

The developed Lingnan naturally does not need so many full-time soldiers to be stationed.

As for the feudal situation of Longxi and Zhao Si, the situation is very different.

There are 50,000 soldiers in Longxi who are completely out of production, and the rest are the construction corps, which has to graze in addition to tuntian.

And Zhao Si's feudal kingdom is a bit deformed...... How to say it, there are a lot of soldiers...... At present, the total strength of the entire Zhao State is about 300,000, of which 80,000 are completely out of production.

To put it mildly, all the extra income of the entire Zhao State is probably used for military training.

Well...... The effect is very significant, if there is really any problem, as long as Zhao Si can run away to Zhao State, even if he pours the power of Great Qin, he will not be able to conquer and destroy in a short time.

"Tell Zhang Cang, let him disarm, how can he support so many troops?" Zhao Si rubbed his eyebrows and issued a decree.

"Daqin is building, and Zhao State can't be left behind, and it can't be delayed."

Time flies.........

A year flies......

Of course, for the construction project of the whole country, one year is really nothing, and now it can only be regarded as a preliminary result.

However, the North Korean side of the envoy has made new progress.

With the death of the former prime minister of the country, Wei Man fled back to Wei's fiefdom, and the war between Jizi Joseon and Wei was doomed.

At the same time, Wei also sent an envoy to Daqin as an independent force for the first time, and requested to establish diplomatic contacts with Daqin, which was recognized by Daqin.

Well...... The Wei clan is strictly regarded as a domestic slave of Kei Zhun, and is not an independent force.

Of course, if it can be recognized by Great Qin, then the Wei clan can justifiably call its fiefdom Weiguo.

Daqin is currently in the process of production and construction, and it is not convenient to send troops to interfere, Zhao Si agreed to Wei's request after careful consideration.

In other words, in the eyes of Zai Daqin, the Wei clan is completely independent of the power of Jizi Joseon.

Of course, it was not to give Wei's platform, but to intensify the contradictions between Wei's and Mizi's Joseon.

If Wei's is not independent, it can only be regarded as an internal political struggle.

Kei Zhun can also be solved by means of political fighting, or Wei can solve Ji Zhun usurpation by other means.

Great Qin's meddling in the internal political struggles of other countries seems to be a bit unjustifiable, and secondly, the internal struggles are relatively mild, and no matter which side wins, the weakening of national strength is quite limited.

But once Wei's is independent, the two are bound to do a real fight.

Daqin had enough confidence to intervene in the interference between the two, and let them fight to the death, so that they couldn't stop.

Until, until Da Qin was able to free up his hands to deal with them.
