Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 239 The Heir and the Concubine

After confessing to Lu Bing, Qian Yuan put aside the matter of Wanhuamen for the time being. Anyway, he couldn't be in a hurry, so he picked up the second official letter before the case and began to review it carefully.

This is the procurement agreement for the Psionic Fortress Cannon finalized between Duzhi Division Commercial Cao and King Wei.

According to the terms of the agreement, Wei Wangfu will purchase 12 spiritual fortress cannons successively within three years at a price of 100 spirit stones each.

The procurement progress depends entirely on the production progress of Bingjia Division.

The cost of each spiritual fortress cannon is around 3 spirit stones. After the technology matures, the cost can be further reduced.In other words, every time a spiritual fortress cannon is sold, it can create a profit of at least 9 spirit stones.

One hundred doors is a profit of 900 million spirit stones.

This is the real profiteering.

Anyway, King Wei has a rich family, and Qian Yuan has no psychological burden at all to blackmail him.

Just be a local tyrant.

Not only that, the large-scale production of psychic fortress cannons can also promote the overall upgrading of Bing Jia Division's ordnance industry, thereby cultivating a group of skilled craftsmen and driving a series of downstream industries.

The value created far exceeds the profit itself.

In addition to earning spirit stones, it is also in Qianyuan's interest to sell spirit energy fortress cannons to the king of Wei, strengthen the border defenses of the western border of the empire, and slow down the invasion of Zhulong Kingdom as much as possible.

After the system upgrade, Qian Yuan has made no secret of his ambitions for the entire empire.

Qian Yuan didn't want that, before he could control the overall situation, the Zhulong Kingdom had already invaded the empire and destroyed the western border of the empire.

"I hope King Wei can hold on." Qian Yuan thought silently.

An official letter was quickly processed in Qianyuan's hands, either reading it, signing it, writing comments on it, or directly issuing instructions.

Efficient and concise.

After occupying Nanyu County, even though Xiao He, a master, was in charge, and five newly-promoted magistrates were under his control, there were still many things that Qian Yuan needed to deal with, and there was no delay.

For example, for the confiscation of the offending family, Qian Yuan needs to personally mark it.

Many matters related to the livelihood of the people in the feudal land, or the fate of tens of thousands of people, and the use of millions of taels of silver, are written by Qian Yuan, seemingly lightly.

He is already a veteran in handling government affairs.

At this moment, an official letter came into Qianyuan's sight, which was requested by Zhu Lijie, Cao Yuanwailang, the master of ceremonies in the palace. It was not about specific government affairs, but about Qianyuan's heirs.

Zhu Lijie stated in the official letter that Qianyuan has been in the feudal domain for four years. In order to pass on the feudal land in an orderly manner and at the same time stabilize people's hearts, it is necessary for the princess to give birth to an heir as soon as possible.

Qian Yuan's eyes were fixed.

He wasn't sure if this was Zhu Lijie's own request to claim credit, or if he was instructed by others to be the first to crack this problem as a pioneer.

Qianyuan's ears are not deaf.

He knew that with the capture of Nanyu County, he also assumed the post of Protector of Southern Border, and the topic of heirs of the royal family became more and more frequent in the fiefdom.

Not only officials, but even generals are behind this matter.

As Qianyuan ascended all the way, a large number of emerging civil servants, military generals and aristocratic families rose up with him, forming a new vested interest group in the fiefdom.

Now, the group begins to plot for their overall benefit.

The issue of Qianyuan's heirs is related to the succession of the fiefdom. It is no longer his personal problem, but is linked to the overall interests of the fiefdom.

It's normal to be concerned.

Qianyuan is a monk at the out-of-body stage, Ziyue is Wuzong, both of them have gradually stepped into the ranks of the strong, their physiques have changed, and it will be more difficult for ordinary people to conceive children.

This is the law of heaven and earth.

The more powerful the race, the harder it is to conceive offspring.

In addition, Ziyue has been in the army all year round, and the two get together less and leave more. Although Qianyuan did not deliberately control them, they have been married for more than two years, and there has been no happy news so far.

But this is not a big problem.

Qianyuan and Ziyue are strong, and their lifespan is naturally higher than that of ordinary people. Compared with the increased lifespan, as long as they are patient, they can always give birth to offspring.

Just like the brothers and sisters of Qianyuan, they are no less than the earth dynasty.

In fact,
For the royal family, it is not a good choice to conceive children too early.

Because the parents have a long lifespan, if children are conceived too early, they may have to wait a long time to inherit the title when the children grow up.

Some didn't even wait for this day until they died.

This is the hidden danger.

Therefore, the royal family will probably deliberately control the birth time of their heirs, unless the qualifications are limited.

The civil servants and generals below naturally understand that with Qian Yuan's current practice progress, not to mention the past few years, in the next 50 years, I am afraid that they will all need to worry about the issue of offspring.

They are not really urging Qianyuan to have children now, but they want Qianyuan to have an attitude.

Some die-hards in the fiefdom have always complained about Ziyue leading the army as a princess. The issue of heirs is not the best article.

Moreover, the Fifth Family's loss of power in the capital of God gave these people even more courage.

Some people are already talking about it, saying that Qianyuan should marry a side concubine, or at least take a concubine, so as to enrich the back court.

According to the system, Qianyuan, with the honor of King Qin, could marry two side concubines in addition to one main concubine. As for the number of concubines, there was no limit to the number of concubines, and he could do whatever he wanted.

But until now, there is only one concubine in Qianyuan, Ziyue.

It's not that Qian Yuan is pure-hearted and ascetic, or something else, but he has never met a suitable one, and he is not a stallion, so it is impossible to casually bring a woman he doesn't know into the room.

Being in a high position like Qianyuan, apart from special encounters, not to mention falling in love, there are very few women who can come into his sight, which seems a bit high-ranking and few.

And as a monk, Qian Yuan was somewhat restrained in matters in the house.

This has caused the current embarrassing situation, and the officials below have "forced the palace" in a tactful way, which is really a bit embarrassing.

"Did you marry that girl Aning?"

Suddenly, such an idea flashed in Qian Yuan's mind, counting the time, that girl has grown up.

The fruit is ripe.

Shaking his head, Qian Yuan ignored the matter, and naturally treated Zhu Lijie's request coldly, and even reprimanded him a few words at the back of the official letter.

No matter what the intention is, Qianyuan can't let Ziyue get hurt.

That was the woman he identified as,

Mistress of the fief,
Must be respected by fief owners.

If it wasn't for not wanting to cause extra trouble, Qianyuan even wanted to dismiss Zhu Lijie's post, so as to beat the emerging interest groups. The revolution has not yet succeeded, and it is not yet time for them to fight for their own interests.

Qian Yuan has to decide on the one-third of an acre of fiefdom, and he does not allow other noises to interfere with the progress of the hegemony.

As for the concubine, let's just let it happen.

…………

With the complete end of the battle of Kunwu County, the empire ushered in a new pattern.

Also ushered in a brief peace.

In the southwest, the kings of Wei, Qin, and Chu, each occupying two counties, supported a strong army and were self-respecting. Although they all coveted the throne, they were afraid of each other.

No one dared to act without authorization.

If one is not good, it may usher in a joint attack from the other two parties.

Such as Qianyuan.

If he dared to lead his troops to attack Kuaiji County or Kunwu County again, King Wei would definitely not just sit back and watch the show with peace of mind like last time, and would definitely intervene forcefully.

An overly powerful Qin Palace is not in the interests of Wei Wang.

The same is true for King Wei and King Chu. The difference is that both of them will face the threat of the new dynasty, and they will continue to play games with the new dynasty in the dark.

On the contrary, Prince Qin's Mansion seemed to be in a safe corner, far away from the center of the vortex.

Similarly, the existence of Qian Yuan was a powerful deterrent to King Wei and King Chu, preventing them from attacking the new dynasty, so as not to catch fire in the backyard.

It is precisely because of this that the new emperor wants to win over Qianyuan.

And in the north.

The Zixiao Sword Sect has already made up its mind, wandering between the Xin Dynasty and the Wei Palace, trying to survive in the cracks between the two major forces, only seeking self-protection, and has no power to set off any huge waves.

The invasion of Beidi Kingdom was equally difficult.

In Shaoyang County, Jin Wang Ganji, who had fallen to the new emperor, led the Second Empire Army, which has reached its full strength of five divisions. With the full support of the court, it has been fighting at the forefront of the confrontation with Beidi Kingdom.

As for Yan Wang Qianyou of Beiyue County, he has recently formed a fiefdom garrison. In addition to protecting himself, it also shoulders the important task of fighting against Beidi Kingdom and guarding the northern border of the empire.

In this way, the empire's troops in the north increased sharply.

As a result, Beidi Kingdom has never found a good opportunity and can only maintain the status quo.

The empire is currently in a fragile but relatively stable balance. No one, including the new emperor, dares to act rashly. They are silently accumulating strength and looking forward to the next big outbreak.

But this balance cannot be maintained forever.

One thing, neither aristocratic families nor ordinary people can tolerate a disintegrated empire for a long time.

The most dangerous thing is that once the Qian family is unable to control the situation, over time, it is likely to breed the ambitions of some ancient families and give birth to ideas to replace it.

At that time, the empire will become more and more chaotic.

Second, the size of the troops under the command of King Wei, King Chu, etc. obviously exceeds the fiscal and tax load of the area under their jurisdiction. The heavy tax policy must not be sustained for a long time, otherwise it will cause civil strife.

How to talk about attacking Zhongzhou?

Breaking the balance is inevitable, and what is needed may be just a fuse.

In view of this, Qianyuan was so interested in the news of Wanhuamen. When he couldn't use it internally, he naturally thought of transferring part of his energy to the outside.

The balance is going to be upset,
When the balance is broken, the chips in the hands of each party can be different.

Given the current situation of the fiefdom, internally, apart from purging the remnants of the king and implementing the New Deal, Qianyuan has no way to immediately increase its strength.

Whether it is the New Deal or the Juling Grass planting plan that Qianyuan has deployed, it is all in the stage of laying the foundation, and it is the foundation of the fiefdom that is consolidated.

This requires several years, even ten years of cultivation.

Immediate results are not available.

And the fastest way to increase strength is undoubtedly expansion.

Whether internally or externally.

…………

On the tenth day of October, it was sunny.

While Qianyuan was waiting anxiously, Lu Bing finally came to report.

"Your Highness, we have found out!" Lu Bing said.
