Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 143
Xiao Zhinu came to the Tang Dynasty by traveling through time and space.

The founding kings Li Yuan and Li Jing visited the frontier in person.

And the sound of a system prompt came from the mind of Qin Wangzheng, who was far away in Zhangtai Palace.

[Ding, the little childish slave sent an email, please check the host]

Qin Wangzheng clicked on the system mailbox, and Li Yuan's high-pitched voice spread in the main hall: "Your Majesty, I have ordered the soldiers in charge of guarding the frontier to garrison the fields!"

"Tuntian?"

Qin Wangzheng frowned, with a trace of surprise in his eyes, while drinking tea from the bronze cup, these two words kept echoing in his mind.

The term Tuntian was popularized only in the Han Dynasty, and it is the military embodiment of the recuperation policy.

Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty used soldiers or farmers and merchants to reclaim wasteland.The government uses this measure to obtain military pay and taxes, which can be divided into military settlements, civilian settlements and commercial settlements.

From the conversation between the two people in the recording, Qin Wangzheng can roughly infer the meaning of farming, and he couldn't help sighing: "The strategy of farming is really a clever plan!"

"If this method is used, the army will be stationed on the frontier, cultivate the land and train, and be self-sufficient, which will reduce the burden on the central government."

"And the army, businessmen, and common people can go to the border areas to reclaim wasteland and increase the government's convenient resources. Why not do that?"

Qin Wangzheng slowly unfolded the geomancy map, marking the north, west, and south of the three farm locations, that is, the three major military theaters.

The northern theater is naturally the three counties of Longxi, Beidi, and Lintao; the western theater is composed of the two counties of Bashu and Kansai; the southern theater is naturally the land of Nanjun and Changsha.

After the division of the three major war zones was completed, General Wang Ben was called immediately to discuss the issue of farming.

The military station must let the soldiers in the battle go to cultivate the land, and the soldiers will inevitably complain in their hearts, but as long as General Wang Ben supports it, others dare not refuse.

The old Qin people loved martial arts and were warlike. When Wang Ben was conscripted into the palace, Wang Ben thought that the king of Qin wanted him to put on armor and go to battle to kill the enemy.

But when he learned that Qin Wangzheng ordered the soldiers guarding the frontier to garrison the fields, Wang Ben's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief: "Your Majesty, I think the soldiers are meant to farm and fight. If you let the soldiers farm, wouldn't it be a sham?"

If it was a troubled time, the soldiers would naturally go to battle to kill the enemy, but now it is a peaceful and prosperous age, apart from training, what should the soldiers do with their living expenses?

Shouldn't the soldiers' food, grass and luggage also be collected from the court?

What Qin Wangzheng said was straightforward, and Wang Ben wanted to refute, but he was afraid of offending Qin Wangzheng's prestige, so he nodded slightly in agreement.

Only then did Qin Wangzheng's stiff face gradually ease, and he laughed loudly and said, "The general is worthy of being a pillar! I am very pleased!"

On the next day, Qin Wangzheng issued a royal edict to implement the farming system in the frontier.

At the same time, the unification of Xiaozhuan discussed by Li Si, Cheng Miao, and Hu Wujing was basically completed.

As for Xiaozhinu's bamboo curtain paper, it is naturally an indispensable part.

The people are only allowed to write Xiaozhuan in the bamboo curtain, so that Xiaozhuan style can be quietly promoted throughout the country.

While accepting the bamboo curtain paper, the common people can also readily accept the Xiaozui style.

Along with the unification of writing, Qin Wangzheng also began to implement the unification of weights and measures and the unification of vehicle tracks in various places.

Regarding the unification of Qin's currency, Qin Wangzheng still adopted a soft policy instead of forcing the six countries to accept Qin's currency by force.

Currency is an important part of the country's financial operations, and private coinage is naturally not allowed.

At the same time, the former currency minting institutions of the Six Kingdoms were abolished, and a large amount of Qin copper coins were poured into the market.

The currencies of the six countries were exchanged by Qin in equal amounts, and the people could only accept Qin coins.

Many officials and businessmen only care about immediate interests, and believe that currency represents national memory and cannot be abolished, but even if they have complaints, they dare not make trouble.

After all, Qin's laws on currency are quite strict, and the people are afraid of Qin's laws, so naturally they dare not make trouble.

When the news reached Zhangtai Palace, Qin Wangzheng showed a faint smile on his face, and said lightly: "Since I succeeded to the throne, I swore an oath in front of the palace to bring all the people of the Qin Empire into one!"

"And the unity of currency, weights and measures, and writing is the embodiment of the unity of all peoples!"

"Whoever dares to stop the tide of unification of the world will be swallowed up by the torrent of the Qin Empire!"

Since the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries by force, the Great Qin Empire has recuperated.

With the implementation of the prefecture and county system and the imperial examination system, and the promotion of Quyuanli, Taduan, keel waterwheel, wheat rice, and bamboo curtain paper, the people of the Great Qin Empire re-examined the "tyrant" and began to accept the Great Qin Dynasty. The unified Qin Empire.

Qin Wangzheng took a deep breath, exhaled heavily, and said lightly: "After ten years of rest and recuperation, I will be able to conquer the Xiongnu in the north, flatten the Baiyue in the south, and walk out from the land of Hexi to see the splendor of the five great dynasties!"

Time is fleeting like running water.

The first day of October is a rare leisure time of the year. Unlike later generations, today is the end of the year, that is, New Year's Eve for later generations.

This is a festival shared by the whole world. At night, Xianyang City is brightly lit, turning into a sea of ​​lights.

According to legend, in ancient times, every midnight at the end of the year, the Nian beast would attack the villages, and all villages occupied by the Nian beast were brutally slaughtered.

Therefore, at the end of the year, the people will drive them away with fire and gold.

In the Xia and Shang dynasties thousands of years ago, the Nian beast had not yet formed, and it was not until the Zhou Dynasty that there was a theory of driving away the Nian beast.

The Chinese New Year is the celebration after driving away the Nian beast.

In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, New Year's Eve has become a big festival for the whole world. The joyous atmosphere is getting stronger and the shadow of fear is gradually fading.

At the end of the year, the state of Qin celebrates the new year through social fire, among which the state of Qin is the most famous.

The end of this year is especially lively. The old Qin people in the Guanzhong area raised their torches, beat the gongs and drums, men, women and children together raised torches and poured into Nanshi, dancing like a long dragon on the official roads. , The sound of shouting is like heavy thunder, and the torches are lit like gold everywhere.

Qin Wangzheng has fulfilled the long-cherished wish of the six generations of kings to rule the world. How can the people in Guanzhong not be happy?
At the same time, Qin Wangzheng also participated in it in plain clothes, and the Zhonglang guards who were in charge of guarding followed Qin Wangzheng, sweating profusely.

Only Qin Wangzheng had a smile on his face, and his expression was leisurely.

Since becoming king of Qin, it is rare for him to be as relaxed as he is today!
That night, Qin Wangzheng dreamed that the sky had changed drastically, the sun and the moon were dark, ghosts and gods were playing tricks, all kinds of monsters came to Qin Wangzheng, opened their bloody mouths, and were about to swallow Qin Wangzheng.

Qin Wangzheng woke up suddenly and found that his back was wet with cold sweat.

In the dream, Qin Wangzheng couldn't move, feeling as if he was fixed on the bed by a strong force.Although, after waking up, he found that everything was a dream, but everything was so real, Qin Wangzheng was terrified, and issued an edict the next day: "Order the alchemist from the land of Yanzhao to enter the palace to face the saint, and interpret my dream!"
