Long live the ancestral dragon of all worlds

Chapter 101 Three Years, Great Qin Fission

Soon, the prime minister and General Shenwei entered the imperial study.

"I pay homage to Your Majesty!" They saluted respectfully.

"All free!"

Ying Zheng directly ordered: "Zhongda listen to the order!"

"The minister is here!" Sima Yi cupped his hands.

The King of Qin said solemnly: "The widow ordered you to build an acropolis on the outskirts of Xianyang City, named 'Gongcheng', dedicated to papermaking and printing. All workers and their families moved into this city, and they were not allowed to leave Gongcheng easily. "

"Promise!" Sima Yi cupped his hands again and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

He knew that His Majesty did this to prevent thieves from sneaking into Daqin Paper Mill and Printing Mill from happening again.

Now, paper mills and printing houses are built in Xianyang City, with a large population and mixed fish and dragons, so it is difficult to guard against them.

If a separate city is built, dedicated to papermaking and printing, with a single staff, it will be much easier to manage and the safety will be greatly improved.

Moreover, this industrial city can play other roles in the future.

For example, Daqin has a new secret technology industry, and workshops can also be set up in this city.

Ying Zheng's eyes fell on Xue Rengui, and he said majesticly: "General Shenwei obeys orders!"

"The minister is here!" Xue Rengui cupped his hands.

Qin Wangdao: "The widow ordered you to lead a thousand iron eagle cavalry and [-] heavy infantry to guard the industrial city and strictly prevent external forces from spying on papermaking and printing."

He wanted to come, with the powerful generals of gods, demons and gods, coupled with iron eagle heavy cavalry and heavy infantry, any Xiaoxiu would like to peek at the commercial secrets of Daqin.

"No!" Xue Rengui took the order.

The prime minister and General Shenwei were ordered to leave the imperial study room immediately.

Yingzheng's move is to implement militarized management of paper mills and printing workshops.

As Sima Yi thought, Yingzheng is indeed preparing to set up more workshops in Gongcheng in the future to apply many technologies in "Tiangong Kaiwu".

……

In the following time, the king of Qin put all the strategic centers within the state of Qin, and carried out various governance and reforms.

Yingzheng plans to spend several years to build Daqin into the kingdom with the most powerful military and the richest economy in the east of Shenhuang.

At this time, Zhao, Wei, Han, Qi, Chu, Yan, Yue and other vassal states are going in the opposite direction to Qin, and they have started a new round of expansion.

They waged an annexation war against the small kingdoms around them.

The above-mentioned powerful vassal states each took care of annexing small states and did not interfere with each other.

……

Time flies, and three years have passed in a flash.

Three years later, Daqin is not what it used to be.

The total number of regular main battle troops of the Qin Army has increased to 60, including 10 heavy cavalry, 40 heavy infantry, 10 light infantry, and 20 second-line defenders.

With such a large-scale army, the military expenditure alone has reached a terrifying 5750 million a year.

Among them, the expenditure of 10 heavy cavalry reached 2500 million taels per year.

This is the military expenditure based on the annexation of Quanrong by the Qin State, and Quanrong County can provide a large number of high-quality war horses and horse feed at low prices.

Otherwise, the annual military expenditure of the heavy cavalry would exceed 3500 million taels of silver.

40万重装步兵军费，2800万两/年；10万轻步兵300万两/年；20万二线守城军150万两/年。

In this way, military expenditure alone is 5750 million taels a year!

This was unimaginable in Qin State a few years ago!

At that time, Qin's annual fiscal and tax revenue was only about 1650 million taels. How could it support a 60-scale main battle army?

Today's Great Qin is not the same as it was a few years ago.

Earth-shaking changes have taken place, like nuclear fission!
In the past three years, a series of large and small water conservancy projects led by Dujiangyan and Zhengguo Canal, two super water conservancy projects that shocked the world, have been successfully built in Qin territory.

This allowed most of the fertile land in the Qin State to be irrigated, and the people could no longer look at the face of God to eat, and even in drought years, the grain harvest could be bumper.

In addition, sweet potatoes were planted on a large scale in Qin State, which made Qin's grain production reach another peak.

In addition, due to the continuous wars against other small countries by the Shandong countries, a large number of war refugees and refugees flooded into Qin.

In just three years, the population of Qin State soared from 700 million to 1400 million, making Qin the No.

Refugees from the war flowed into the Qin State, and Yingzheng not only gave them food to eat, but also allocated land for them to cultivate.

After the capture of Bashu, Yucheng County, and the annexation of Quanrong, the land of Qin State increased a lot. In addition, a large amount of fertile land from the 36 wealthy families was recovered. After the completion of water conservancy projects such as Dujiangyan and Zhengguo Canal, many fertile fields were reclaimed. Yingzheng was worried that there would be too much land. If the people can't cultivate it, it will be barren.

Who would have thought that the powers of Shandong would continue to launch wars of aggression against small countries, sending a large number of people to Qin.

This made most of the land in the Qin State cultivated by the people.

In this way, a virtuous circle is formed, the land is cultivated, food is continuously produced, and taxes are continuously paid to the royal court.

Grain harvests have been bumper year after year, and the common people can eat enough and wear warm clothes, live better and better, and their enthusiasm continues to increase.

The land tax alone can pay 4000 million taels of silver to the royal court a year, which is more than twice the amount before King Qin came to power.

The newly added commercial tax can pay the royal court another 2500 million taels of silver a year.

In this way, the Qin royal family collected 6500 million taels in taxes alone, more than enough to pay 5750 million taels of military expenditure.

In addition, government franchise businesses such as selling salt, selling paper, selling printed books, and Daqin Bank can also generate 3000 million taels of silver profit for the royal court a year.

Calculated in this way, the total annual income of the Daqin treasury is 9500 million taels of silver, which is close to 1 million taels of silver.

At the same time, Wei, the most prosperous and powerful country, only had an income of 4000 million taels a year, Qi and Chu around 2800 million taels, and even less in other countries.

Qin State has leapt to become the richest big country in the east corner of Shenhuang.

Of course, Qin's expenditure is also very large.

Military expenditure reached 5750 million taels a year.

A large number of schools have been set up across the country to open up people's wisdom and cultivate talents for Daqin.

A large number of official roads twice as wide as other countries and a large number of post stations were built in large quantities to make transportation more convenient, reduce the cost of goods transportation, and prosper business.

Construct various water conservancy projects.

Help poor people.

Maintenance of various facilities, etc.

All this costs a lot of money.

Even so, after one year, the treasury still has a balance of at least 1500 million taels, and there is no deficit.

Today's Qin State is unprecedentedly powerful and already has the strength to go east.

In the past three years, Ying Zheng, the leader of the Great Qin who led the rise of the Great Qin step by step, has also grown from a 16-year-old boy to a young man who is almost 20 years old.

He is eight feet tall, with a long, well-proportioned and vigorous body, his cheeks seem to be cut by a knife and an axe, his facial features are three-dimensional, his eyes are black and bright like stars, and his whole person looks majestic and noble.

When the others saw him, they couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

This is the King of Great Qin, and like Great Qin, he has undergone earth-shaking changes.

In addition, as Yingzheng completed a series of tasks, Qin was also upgraded from a level 2 country to a level 3 country.

Yingzheng refined many of the elixir collected by his subordinates, and his cultivation had reached the third level of the Xuanwu Realm, and he had cultivated new supernatural powers.

Sima Yi, Xue Rengui, Dongfang Bubai, Ji Gang, Bai Qi, and Pang Tong also reached the third level of Xuanwu Realm.

It is worth mentioning that in the past three years, Yingzheng has not obtained a summoning card for gods and demons.

He asked about the system reason.

The system told Yingzheng that now Qin is focusing on internal affairs and has not launched a large-scale war abroad, and the summoning of gods and demons has been suspended.

When the King of Qin launches a war against the Shandong kingdoms, he will get the God and Demon Summoning Card again.

The systematic explanation made Ying Zheng feel helpless, but he had to accept it.

……

Outside of Qin.

In the past three years, the three countries of Wei, Zhao and Han have annexed almost all the small countries around them that could be annexed.

The strength has also increased a lot.

By annexing other countries and plundering supplies, the Three Jins have also returned to their peak.

They were ready to move again, and turned their gazes westward, to their old opponent - Qin!
