Cultivation of empire in the world of immortality

Chapter 172: Establishing the Crown Prince

This great riot in Beizhou was very damaging to the Qin Empire. The three newly built infantry armies were severely disabled, and the more than 60,000 soldiers killed in the battle were the largest battle losses since the Qin army was founded. It is very simple to retire the blond, but it is difficult to rebuild these three infantry armies. The Executive Yuan and the Privy Council quarreled again about the reconstruction issue, and both of them were very reasonable. The Qin and Han Dynasties could not completely favor one side. The final result of the quarrel was that these three infantry corps could be rebuilt, but only 10,000 troops would be replenished each year.

The military's aftermath is the simplest, just follow the regulations. The more difficult thing is to deal with the loss of more than 300 of the empire's 5,000 strong men. On one side, the sect must be compensated, and on the other side, the family must be compensated. The honorary title must be given to him, and his sacrifice for the country must be blessed. Future generations, only in this way can people be willing to contribute to the empire.

The most difficult thing is to appease the people of Beizhou. The top officials of Qin State also have different opinions on this. They are evenly divided between those who favor appeasement and those who oppose it. The Qin and Han Dynasties decided to appease the people. He ordered that the taxes of the people of Beizhou be halved this year, and at the same time let the states arrange the production and life of the people within the territory. Today, Qin State has thirty-six states and three direct-governed prefectures. There are only two royal families in Beizhou, and the royal families of the remaining affiliated kingdoms have been cleaned up. In addition, after appeasing the ordinary people, it is time to punish those who take the lead. The Qin and Han Dynasties instructed that those who voluntarily surrender could be given a lighter sentence, while die-hards should be resolutely eliminated.

The Executive Yuan recommended the deployment of Chidao system in Beizhou. Because Beizhou is too big, the eight-vertical and eight-horizontal Chidao is planned to be built in four phases over twenty years. The first phase is one horizontal and one vertical, connecting north, south, and east. In the construction of Beizhou Chidao, the Executive Yuan adopted the central government's funding and local contribution, and distributed the proceeds on a seven-to-three basis. This greatly increased the local government's interest in Chidao, and they all petitioned the central government to build it first in the state. The Executive Yuan refused, but in order to appease the local government, the first phase was changed to two vertical and two horizontal Chidao trunk lines.

All work in the empire is carried out in an orderly and step-by-step manner. Two years passed without disaster or chaos, but Qin's development speed reached a higher level. The Chidao artery running through the north and south of Beizhou was completed and opened to traffic. The line starts from the Antarctic state of the Tianhuang Empire and ends at the northern Binghai City of Tianlang Xizhou. The east-west trunk line is also about to be completed. People in Beizhou will no longer be restricted by geographical restrictions when traveling, and the economy along Chidao is booming rapidly.

The Royal Air Transport has also opened routes between major cities in Beizhou, and wealthy people in Beizhou have also gained a faster way to travel. Transportation is connected, and people's hearts are connected. Now the people of Beizhou fully recognize their identity and support the rule of the Qin Empire a lot.

The Qin Army has also made great progress in the past two years, and has been constantly training in the ancient tower space. The Qin Wei Army and the Shenwu Army have officially advanced to the fifth level, becoming the only fifth level armies. Half of the elites of the Sirius Army and the first thirteen armies have also advanced to the fifth level. The current cavalry legions of the Qin Army are basically fourth-level legions. Among the infantry, except for three legions that were not fully established, they have all entered the fourth-level legion. The growth rate of the infantry is much faster than that of the cavalry, and the consumption is only half of that of the cavalry. Now even the Privy Council themselves feel that there are too many cavalry and more infantry regiments should be deployed. Qin and Han did not allow it, and the number of flying boats was limited, so the role of cavalry would not diminish. Including the consumption of flying boats, the cost of infantry and cavalry to obtain the same results was almost the same, and the cavalry battle loss rate was much smaller than that of infantry. This allowed the Qin and Han Dynasties to fully support more than a million cavalry.

In the past two years, Qin and Han had more trump cards. Four seventh-level monsters had been practicing hard on the seventh floor of the ancient pagoda space for 256 years. They also had tailor-made training techniques, and now they have all advanced to the eighth level. Dozens of seventh-level magical beasts have also advanced to the seventh level, and eight nine-color sacred deer have also advanced to the seventh level. Their strength ranges from seventh-level first level to seventh-level ninth level. Qin and Han's little friends Wangcai, Treasure Hunting Crow, and Bai Xue are now seventh-level monsters. The three of them have given birth to Qin and Han's children in the outside world. Bai Xue and Qin Daya are inseparable.

When the time came for the eldest son and daughter to become adults, Ouyang Feiyan personally groomed and dressed his son and daughter Changle. Behind him, the two brats watched in confusion as their mother dressed up their sister with tears in their eyes.

"Girl, you will be an adult in a blink of an eye, and you will be independent from your mother!"

"Mother, I don't want it! I want to stay with you and my father for the rest of my life!"

"Silly girl, you won't think so when you have a sweetheart."

On the other side, Qin Han also inspected Qin Xingguo's clothes. He looked at the eldest son who was half a head taller than himself and said with a smile, "Not bad. He is strong and brave. He is worthy of being a descendant of my old Qin family."

"Father, these clothes are too luxurious, I can't wear them well!"

"Your mother made this with her own hands!" Qin Han glared at his son after speaking. After checking the eldest son, Qin Han went to check on his second son. Qin Xingjun was also taken care of by Ou Bailan. He was very handsome. He was taller and stronger than his elder brother Qin Xingguo. When he saw his father coming, the little girl in Ou Bailan's arms immediately jumped up. He flew into Qin Han's arms and kept humming. Seeing his father checking twice and preparing to spin, the second child said speechlessly, "Father, you are dazzling me with your spin!"

"You stinky boy!" After saying that, Qin Han and Ou Bailan started teasing the little girl. Qin Han came to the other side and saw that Ling'er was also dressed up like a fairy by her mother Qulu Tana. Qin Han even praised my daughter for being so beautiful. Unexpectedly, Qu Lutana was very dissatisfied. "That's right, my daughter is just a follower." Me, look at this little monkey doing whatever you want, it makes me so angry that I’m not pretty!”

"Ling'er, why do I think your mother is getting more and more beautiful!"

"That's right, father, mother is even more beautiful," Ling'er replied with a smile.

"You two will lie to me." Qurutana was very satisfied with this trick.

Qin Han laughed and said, "Is there any? Linger"

"no"

Qin Han went to see his eldest daughter Changle again. Seeing Ouyang Feiyan with tears in his eyes, he hugged his wife and said, "The child has grown up. You should be happy."

"I just want to cry!"

"Okay, Changle, come and wipe away your mother's tears! Look how beautiful our daughter is. The son of my old Qin family is both beautiful and handsome."

"Fuck you, I won't get any credit, look at how bad you are?" With the comfort of her husband and daughter, Ouyang Feiyan quickly adjusted herself!

As soon as the auspicious time came, the Qin and Han family mounted their celestial horses and headed to the Qin ancestral hall under the guard of their father-in-law, followed by the imperial relatives and then the ministers attending the ceremony.

When they arrived at the ancestral hall, Qin Han took the children to salute and say hello to the elders. After a mysterious ceremony, Qin Han put crowns on his two sons and equipped them with armors and weapons. Afterwards, the two mothers put sand clothes on their daughters and combed their adult headdresses. , wearing a hairpin symbolizing adulthood.

Next came the gift-giving process. Qin Han gave each of his sons a fine knife and each of his daughters a piece of precious jade. Qin Han's wives also gave carefully prepared gifts. Then came the gifts from the children's grandparents and aunts. Finally, the children's grandparents sent generous gifts, especially Ouyang Feiyan and Ou Bailan's parents, who gave very generous gifts! Because they know that men of the Qin family will leave home and start a new business when they reach adulthood.

The last step was to host a banquet. Ouyang Feiyan invited Wang Ruyi to eat beside her. The heroic female general also restrained herself and diligently served her mother-in-law.

After the children's coming-of-age ceremony, Ouyang Feiyan received many requests for marriage, but was burned by the Qin and Han Dynasties. He spread the news that his children in the Qin and Han Dynasties could marry and love freely, which made many people think that they had the opportunity to marry a princess. Home, or marry His Highness the Prince! However, too many people do not consider the education of royal children, and none of them are simple.

A month later, Qin Han and Ouyang Feiyan jointly issued a decree to make their eldest son Qin Xingguo the prince and grant amnesty to the world. After some elaborate ceremonies, Qin Xingguo was officially declared an orphan and moved into the East Palace.

On October 10th, the prince got married and Wang Ruyi became the crown princess. After her marriage, she went to the military and began to assist her mother-in-law Ouyang Feiyan in managing Lingqianzhuang.

Qin Han and Ouyang Feiyan discussed the treatment of the children. At first, the Qin and Han Dynasties wanted to canonize only their daughters as princesses, but not their sons for the time being. Ouyang Feiyan strongly opposed this, saying bluntly, "We are conquering the world, and if we can't give our children good treatment, what's the point of our efforts? Even without this empire, we are no weaker than we are now!"

"The highest title now is the Duke of the County. It's not good to just give a title to our unworthy child!"

"Pedantry, if you don't ennoble your own children, how can the Lord work hard for future generations? They also want to pass on the title!"

"Okay, but the title has to be downgraded for inheritance!" Qin Han also agreed with Ouyang Feiyan's words, but he didn't want future generations to get something for nothing.

"My dear, can't you think about your grandchildren? After more than ten generations, won't their descendants become ordinary people?"

"Madam, do you think our descendants have more opportunities or do ordinary people have more opportunities? In addition, if you have the strength to be popular everywhere, will our resources be worse than others? Will our children be weaker than others? The inheritance of demotion cannot be changed!"

"Okay! How will Jun'er arrange it?"

"I'm going to make him the King of Xia! He will receive first-class treatment and no fiefdom."

"What does the name say? And is the salary too low?"

"The name is just for commemoration. As for the treatment, it does not restrict them from engaging in side jobs. The Qin family's children have to work hard on their own for the future."

"Okay!" After saying that, Ouyang Feiyan began to enjoy her husband's love and put aside her children's matters. The love between husband and wife is true love!

The next day, the Qin and Han Dynasties decreed that the eldest daughter be named Princess Changle, the second daughter be Princess Changling, and the second son be King Xia, all with the title of first-grade title. Before the civil and military ministers could be happy, the Qin and Han Dynasties issued an edict to stipulate the title succession system.

Many people were unhappy with the downgrading and succession of titles, but this was the will of the Qin and Han Dynasties, and they would not dare to object even if they had the courage to do so. Now that Qin and Han's prestige is comparable to that of the gods, and he treats everyone equally, the lords reluctantly accepted it.

However, there were turmoil in the harem. Qin Han was squeezed out by the dissatisfied daughters again and again, and it took a lot of effort to persuade them. Inheritance is only a way out for filial descendants. He does not restrict his children's struggles, but he absolutely prohibits flesh-and-blood fighting!

Qin Han's words put great pressure on Qin Xingguo and his wife. He was not the only one who could sit in his father's position. Other brothers and sisters could also sit there. He was just the closest to this position. He also calmed down his raging spirit and became more like a prince, and his father still asked him to help take care of his younger brothers and sisters!

After the coming-of-age ceremony, Changle and Ling'er did not go back to Beihan Palace, but went to Dan Medical College for further studies. There were their grandmother and great-grandmother who doted on them, and the two demons of the imperial capital as the nobles called them were born.
