Chapter 1035 Heaven and Earth Above, I Report Qin for Cheating! King, Why!
Ji County, Wuyang Palace of the former Yan State, now the Dai Palace of the Dai State.
It has been several years since Dai Wangjia ascended the throne, and he finally has the first palace that truly meets the royal etiquette standards.
But Dai Wangjia had no time to appreciate this palace that belonged to him carefully, and even had no time to correct the names of the palaces (give them new names). He hurriedly moved his bed into the side hall of the imperial study and devoted all his energy to government affairs.
October 7, the 17th year of Qin Wangzheng.
Dai Wangjia sat at the first seat in the imperial study, and the prime minister Mao Sui, the doctor-in-chief Zhuo Ta, the guard Lu Gao and other important officials of the Dai State were on both sides, and everyone's face was quite gloomy.
In the middle of the aisle, a minister held a bamboo slip and recited in a deep voice: "This year, the per-acre yield of the Qin Guanzhong area is mostly around 4 shi and 2 jin, and the per-acre yield of the Qin Guandong area is also around 3 shi and a half. Only the per-acre yield of the Qi area is still around 2 shi."
"This spring, Qin Chang'an Jun distributed Qin Wangzheng's 16-style rich and powerful pigs, totaling 110,000 heads, to Guanzhong. I originally scoffed, thinking that even if the pigs were distributed to the people, the people would not be able to support them. However, I never thought that Qin Chang'an Jun had sent alchemists to find a precious grass called "alfalfa" many years ago. This precious grass can be cultivated on poor land, is easy to grow, has a high per-acre yield, and can fertilize the land. It has been cultivated in Qin for many years. Qin feeds pigs with alfalfa, so it is not difficult for the people to raise pigs."
"The rich and powerful pig is also worthy of its name of rich and powerful. It grows from a pig to more than 400 jin in just one year and has a lot of oil. It is said that this rich and powerful pig has a baby with a lot of fat. The pigs are twice as big as normal pigs. I haven't seen them myself, but I think the rumors are true. This year, Qin has built pig-raising facilities in various counties, and can get hundreds of thousands of pigs every year. Qin's ambition to make all the people eat meat is obvious! "
"I beg the king to take back a good breed at all costs. It's worth it to make the pig rich and strong!"
"This year, Qin has carried out large-scale construction projects, building water pestles, water mills, and water grinders in various places. In the past, it took several people and several days to pound the millet, but now it only takes one person and one day. Qin has also paved a road called cement, which is wide and flat, and can be built ten miles a day. It is a miracle."
"This year, Qin Chang'an Jun personally went east to pacify Qi, so Qi people came to follow him, and the King of Qin sent..."
The envoy stationed in Qin, Zhao Pu, wrote a year-end report of more than 10,000 words from multiple angles such as grain production, economy, people's strength, politics, military, and culture.
But the emperor and his ministers looked uglier and uglier as they listened.
The primary goal of the war between Yan and Qi to attack Qin was to curb or even destroy the rapid development of Qin's national strength.
As a result, after a great war, Qi was destroyed and Yan retreated outside the Great Wall. However, Qin's national strength was not curbed, but rather soared!
Mao Sui sighed with envy and jealousy: "Last year, Daidi was overturned, and there was almost no harvest. Our Great Dai could only survive with the grain from the old Yan land."
"Yes! This year, Daidi is going to suffer from a severe drought, and I am afraid that there will be no harvest. This year, our Great Dai does not know how to survive."
"On the other hand, Qin not only got the fertile land of the old Qi, but also doubled its yield per mu."
"In the long run, Qin will become richer and stronger, and our Great Dai must prepare early!"
The weather in Daiyan is cold, and many fertile fields in later generations are tidal flats that cannot be cultivated in this era. Even in the season of good weather and good harvest, the average per mu yield in Daiyan is only about one and a half stones, and only fertile land can reach two stones, but the average per mu yield of Qin is already between three and a half and four stones. How can Mao Sui not be jealous!
Watching the power of powerful enemies and old enemies soar, this feeling is even more uncomfortable than the sharp drop in one's own national power.
What is even more distressing is that the national strength of Dai is really plummeting, and the king and ministers of Dai don’t even know how to hold on until the autumn harvest next year!
Zhuo Ta said bitterly: "I am more afraid of the sixteen ways of enriching and strengthening pigs by Qin Wang Zheng!"
"In the past, the soldiers of Yue were weak and not good at long-term battles. The King of Yue built a pig mountain to fatten the soldiers, and the soldiers of Yue suddenly became stronger, so they helped the King of Yue to swallow Wu."
"The rich and strong pigs obtained by Qin Chang'an Jun today are more than double the pigs of the King of Yue in the past."
"The pigs that the various counties of Qin want to manage are more than ten times more than the pig mountains of the King of Yue in the past."
"The Qin army is already invincible. If it is fattened with pigs for several years, how can it resist!"
In this era when people are not getting enough food, which army can have enough food every day? Which army has the foundation to become elite, and if they can eat meat from time to time? The potential of this army will definitely exceed your imagination!
Even if such an army appeared in Yan and Qi, it would be enough to make Dai feel uneasy, let alone appearing in Qin!
At this moment, Zhuo Ta wanted to climb up the Jichou and point his finger in the direction of Qin and shout: Heaven and Earth, I report Qin for cheating!
If the report is unsuccessful, then Zhuo Ta would like to ask Heaven and Earth, is it too late for him to lead the Zhuo family back to Zhuo County and serve the Qin?
Dai Wangjia spoke in a slightly tired voice: "What you said is also what I have seen."
"Because of Qin Chang'an Jun, Qin's national strength has soared, and it has repeatedly soared again on the basis of soaring!"
"According to the investigation of the scouts, although Qin Chang'an Jun has not been in Guanzhong recently, he has opened another workshop next to the Chang'an workshop, and opened 600 hectares of farmland in Chang'an Township. The farmland and workshops are as heavily guarded as when the gold juice was developed to treat feces. The King of Qin will also visit from time to time."
The hearts of Zhuo Ta and others sank again.
They have not yet found out what treasures are hidden in Ying Chengjiao's Lantian workshop, and Ying Chengjiao has opened a new workshop and a new piece of farmland?
Mao Sui's voice became more bitter: "Chang'an Jun is the god of heaven's grace and earth's love."
"Chang'an Jun's research and creation of craftsman-made objects and cultivation of spiritual livestock and plants are not research, but he is carrying the will of heaven and earth to bring the treasures to the world."
"Since Lord Chang'an has made such a big move, I think it won't be long before General Qin will have good luck again!"
Dai Guo still didn't know that the research carried out by that field and that workshop was not led by Ying Chengxuan himself, but by Zheng Anqi, Lechen and others.
If they knew, then they would definitely——
Even more panicked!
In the past, Ying Chenglong only needed the help of mortals to attract auspiciousness. How auspicious is this that he needs the help of immortals!
But even if the monarchs and ministers of the country don't know this cruel truth, a gloomy cloud has filled everyone's hearts.
Dai Wangjia said in a deep voice: "I think that if the Qin State is allowed to develop wantonly, the Qin Dynasty this year may not only double the yield per mu of the old Qi land, but also have hundreds of thousands of pigs in each Qin county."
"This year's Qin will surely have new creations and new craftsmanship, which will be hard to come by for my generation!"
"If things go on like this, our generals will become increasingly unable to resist Qin's military front, and the survival of the country will only depend on Qin's thoughts."
Dai Wangjia looked at the ministers sincerely and asked: "Everyone, I love you!"
"Do you have any good ideas to help me?"
What greeted Dai Wangjia was silence.
A desperate silence!
The country of Dai, which had just experienced an earth dragon turnaround and a great defeat, needed to recuperate, but the coming drought and increasingly powerful opponents did not give Dai a chance to recuperate.
If we fight now, we can't beat him.
I won't be able to beat him even more if I fight him in the future.
Dai Guo's situation can be described as extremely embarrassing!
With all-round disadvantages in terms of strategic depth, number of young men, people's fighting spirit, food and armament reserves, and future development, the two potential allies of Yan and Zhao are more unreliable than the other. Even Mao Sui and other ministers can be described as heroes. , but couldn’t think of a way to break the situation.
Dai Wangjia sighed softly in his heart, and suddenly laughed loudly and said: "Why do you, my beloved, behave like this?"
"I know that today Qin is strong and its generation is weak. However, Qin has many internal shortcomings, but our generation is united and united!"
"I think that today's great generation should cultivate internal affairs and strengthen their muscles and bones. Waiting for time, we will surely see the opportunity to fight!"
Dai Wangjia was also desperate.
But Dai Wangjia could only hold on and encourage everyone. If the people's hearts were lost, the team would not be able to lead it.
The ministers were also in despair, but they also knew that what Dai Wangjia said was Dai's only chance of victory. They all stood up and handed over their hands: "What the king said is true!"
Dai Wangjia smiled and nodded: "Dear dear friends, please don't let the power of the Qin State distract you."
"This advice is widely spread among travellers, and I will consider it carefully. Do you, my beloved ministers, still have any memorials?"
Mao Sui stood up, cupped his hands and said in a deep voice: "Report to your Majesty."
"This year's taxes and grain have been transported back to Jicheng."
"This year the great generation will receive a total of taxes and grain..." After a pause, Mao Sui just sighed in his heart and said: "One hundred and seventy-three thousand dan."
After hearing about Qin's grain output and then hearing about Dai's grain output, the ministers couldn't help but sigh.
What is the concept of 1.73 million stone grain?
The State of Qi paid more food than this to invite Ying Chengyu to serve as the left prime minister of the State of Qi!
Mao Sui continued: "After the war, although many Ding Nan from Qi returned to their hometown in Qi, there were also many young people left to live in the future, totaling about 200,000."
The breathing of the monarchs and ministers of Daiguo was stagnant again.
Young men are valuable when they are needed for farming and fighting, but during slack periods, young men are a burden. They eat much more than women and children. If they don't have enough to eat, they may fall into trouble at any time and become a destabilizing factor in society. .
Dai Wangjia asked again in a deep voice: "Do you have any good ideas to solve the shortage of food and grass in my generation?"
A famous and important minister, a wise man, frowned in thought and gave advice from time to time.
But compared to the difficulties faced by the ministers of the Great Qin Dynasty, the situation of Dai State was even more difficult. Even if the hair fell all over the floor in the imperial study, they could only tear down the east wall to repair the west wall, and they could only survive by eating a lot of food.
Suddenly, a shout broke the oppressive atmosphere in the imperial study room.
"King Qi! Mr. Wu An asks to see you!"
All the ministers were surprised.
Everyone knows that Li Mu has been thinking about returning to Daidi since the war. He only set off a month ago because of his busy official duties.
Why did he come back so early? !
Dai Wangjia's eyes darkened slightly, and he laughed loudly and said: "I have something important to discuss with Lord Wu An, and Lord Wu An has returned! You are worthy of being my confidant!"
"My dear friends, please implement what we have discussed today first."
"Xiangbang stays and summons Lord Wu An!"
The ministers admired the deep love between Dai Wang Jia and Li Mu, and left one after another.
But when they saw Li Mu coming towards them, they found that Li Mu's face was not pretty.
Striding into the imperial study, Li Mu looked directly at Dai Wangjia with angry and disappointed eyes, and asked solemnly:
"Why!"
