Chapter 276: Thrive

With the curtain down on two terrifying worldly wars,

The whole world,

All ushered in an eerie peace.

The main thing is that the seemingly calm surface now, as the kingdoms of the world are divided into two different camps, the air has begun to fill the air with a thick smell of gunpowder.

The feeling of mountain rain is about to come, which makes many monarchs feel very depressed.

however

With the recuperation of the Qi and Qin states, 🅼.VODTW.cOM

There was a rare situation of peace in the whole world between countries.

In the current pattern,

The kings of all countries were honest.

for fear that he will become the object of the great power game,

Zhao and Chu also licked their wounds and seized the time to restore their national strength.

Throughout the second half of the fourth year of Qitian,

In this situation full of gunpowder, it was very peaceful.

In the past six months,

There is no country in the whole world that has mobilized troops in a big way.

Such a strange scene can be said to be the first time since the chaos of the nations.

When the time comes to the fifth year of Qitian,

This is already the sixth year of Han Lin's travel.

The reason why it is the sixth,

Or is it because the name of the country was established in the second year of his accession to the throne.

During the year,

There is still nothing major happening in the Qi country.

Han Lin seemed to have forgotten about the affairs of Chu for the time being,

During this time,

Always stay in the Golden Bird Terrace and play with the concubines in the harem.

Happy days,

Full of 'boring' and 'boring'.

This winter,

The expansion of Linzi City has also been completed by more than half.

meantime

Han Lin also specially found a lot of skilled carpenters, and after a period of practice, he created many ice carvings outside Linzi City.

The ice sculpture not only has pavilions and pavilions, but also has the elite of Daqi armed with knives and guns.

In Linzi City,

The many ice sculptures are beautiful and attract countless tourists.

Moreover, Han Lin also asked people to build a simple ski resort on some moderately steep slopes.

Visitors can sit on wooden skis and slide down the slopes down the snow.

Entertainment like never before,

It attracts countless tourists every day.

Although the winter weather is cold and windy, this does not stop these people from wanting to play.

Because of the abundance of the current Qi country,

In winter, it is rare for people to freeze to death.

Inside,

There is also the reason that there are no natural disasters in Qi country.

Winter may be cold, but as long as you are well prepared, you will be able to survive it smoothly.

Some people who have savings have heard that there is a new way of entertainment in Linzi, and they have come to experience it.

In addition to ski slopes and ice sculptures,

In Linzi City, it is also very lively.

Especially the major bathing centers,

With the relaxation of restrictions by the imperial court.

Right now

The major cities of Qi, including Linzi City, Jinling City, Handan City, Jicheng City, etc., these cities with a long history and many wealthy families,

A number of entertainment venues have been established one after another.

thereinto

Most of them are bathing centers, gambling houses, bars, etc.

And almost all of them follow the same model as in Linzi City.

merely

There are also some restrictions on starting these entertainment industries.

The first is to obtain the permission of the imperial court to operate, and the second is that the tax is much higher than that of ordinary industries.

After all, this kind of industry,

Each one is a book of profits.

Han Lin didn't hold it in his hand, after all, while eating meat, he also had to let people drink some soup.

The gentry and wealthy families in various places, while starting these industries, helped themselves to make money.

And while they operate, they will also help the imperial court to supervise illegal operating places.

After all, there will obviously be a lot of illegal operations in the private sector.

Now that Han Lin has lifted the restrictions, the wealthy families who have obtained business licenses will obviously help the imperial court to seize the illegal operating places, after all, they are all competing for food with themselves.

With the advent of winter,

Far from being sluggish, these entertainment venues continue to increase their customer traffic every day, and their business is extremely hot.

Especially the major bathing centers,

In this cold and cold midwinter, soaking in the warm pool water is a beautiful thing.

And

After bathing,

You can also enjoy a massage from a beautiful woman.

It's like a heavenly treat, and I don't know how many people will be intoxicated by it.

With the boom in tourism and service industries,

Qi's tax revenue is also rising at a rocket-like pace.

Besides

In agriculture, Qi once again had a bumper harvest last year.

Although a large part of the young and strong people in Qi are involved in various projects, the number of farmers who cultivate the fields has been greatly reduced, and even many families are women plowing the fields.

However, this did not affect the grain output of Qi in the slightest.

After all, Qi has a national fortune-level buff, and in the past few years, there has never been a natural disaster, and every year is smooth.

In this case,

Qi's grain output is rising every year.

Last year, after another bumper harvest.

The grain depot of Qi was once again full.

Militarily,

At present, in addition to the security forces of various counties and counties, the state of Qi currently retains only 500,000 standing troops.

Don't look at the ancient wars, hundreds of thousands of people went out to fight at every turn.

But

The vast majority of them are logistics personnel.

That is, the front-line personnel who are responsible for transporting food and the like, and who can really participate in the battle, may not even have half, or even only a third or a quarter.

After all, the leader is outside,

The food consumed every day needs to be transported from the rear in a steady stream.

And, due to the low production capacity of antiquity,

So there is simply no way to organize, a large number of completely out of production standing army.

After all, the greater the number of standing armies, the more people there are, and they cannot participate in the cultivation of the fields.

In this case,

The tuntian system came into being.

The same is true of the 500,000 standing army of Qi at present.

First of all

The state of Qi was divided into four military regions by Han Lin.

In addition to Linzi City, the other three military regions had 100,000 soldiers and horses.
