Chapter 2306 Summary of the power of the nine Eastern countries
Chapter 2303: Summary of the power of the nine Eastern countries
This time, Daqin dismissed 300,000 troops at one time. Although the total strength dropped to 850,000, the overall combat power increased instead of decline, even stronger than the previous million troops.
After laying off 300,000 troops and liberating one-quarter of the military expenditure, the financial situation of the Qin Dynasty immediately improved a lot. It was no longer so tense, so the funds used to develop internal affairs will naturally be available.
The Qin Dynasty is now in a mess. As long as funds are invested to develop, there will inevitably be huge returns. It can be said that wealth is everywhere. It depends on whether the Qin emperor and his ministers can successfully develop national strength.
Ying Hao naturally attached great importance to this and asked Wang Meng to draw up an internal political formation early.
Prime Minister Wang Meng, the left and right deputy ministers, and many important officials including the Six Ministers of the Ministry of Justice, after a half-day meeting, they discussed whether agriculture is the main focus? Or do you focus on business?
Finally, the sixteen-character policy of "focusing on both rural and commercial affairs, rectifying public order, expanding production, and optimizing official governance".
‘Rural and commercial equally valued” means not focusing on either party. After all, the agriculture and commerce of Daqin were very developed, and with strong development funds, it was not necessary to focus on one. It was possible to achieve that rural and commercial advances in parallel.
‘Reorganization of public security’ is to improve the overall public security level of society and put the Qin society as a whole in a relatively peaceful and stable state, rather than constant riots and riots.
‘Expanding production’ means expanding the productivity of light industries such as textiles, increasing the GDP of Daqin, and improving per capita productivity.
‘Optimizing administration’ refers to improving the comprehensive quality, ability and efficiency of officials to govern, and also including anti-corruption and integrity.
As long as the Qin Dynasty can implement this sixteen-character square formation, it will surely allow you to maintain a high-spirited development momentum.
Prime Minister Wang Meng initially calculated that if the Qin Dynasty could maintain its current policy and devote itself to cultivation for three years, and no large-scale war broke out during this period to affect domestic development, the Qin Dynasty''s national strength in three years would be between 1.5 times and twice as strong as it is today.
At that time, the Qin Dynasty would be able to afford it even if it was a million troops.
Of course, this two million army is just infantry.
If the Qin Dynasty wants to be strong enough to have no shortcomings, it must develop together with the three armies of water and cavalry, and the navy and cavalry are both large military spending families.
Therefore, if you want to expand the navy and cavalry, the scale of infantry will inevitably be reduced.
Ying Hao has even thought of future military expansion plans in advance. After two years of rest, the Qin Dynasty can expand its military army and spend one year to expand its military army to 1.4 million, including 950,000 light and heavy infantry, 300,000 light and heavy cavalry, and 150,000 navy.
After a nationwide census, after statistics, Daqin currently has a total population of 25.1 million, including:
Sizhou is 2.9 million, Yongzhou is 1.2 million, Liangzhou is 200,000, Jingbei is 3.1 million, Youzhou is 2.8 million, Jizhou is 4.8 million, Qingbei is 1.9 million, Bingzhou is 5.3 million, Hetao is 2.9 million;
Among the Jiuzhou of the Great Qin Dynasty, except for the Xinde Yongliang area, only the total population of Sizhou, Jingbei and Hetao was on a downward trend.
This is also because those three major wars broke out in the local area, causing great trauma to the local area, so the population declined so quickly.
After learning about the central population of Daqin, Ying Hao immediately used system props and a summoning card for a million population to increase the total population of Daqin.
"System, how many people are there in summoning authority for summoning a population of tens of thousands at present? And how many people summoning cards are there in a million?" Ying Hao asked the system
[The current system is 58, and before level 40, the summoning authority of a million population is unblocked every ten levels, and after level 40, the summoning authority of a million population is unblocked every five levels, and a total of seven million population is unblocked. At present, the host has used three million, and there are still four million people left to summon the authority.
As for the summoning card for a million people? Currently, the host attack has 5 summoning cards for millions of people. 】
After hearing the system''s answer, Ying Hao felt relieved.
The authority to summon 4 million people, plus 5 million people summoning cards, that is, the total population is 9 million.
Today, no state has a population of nine million, and even Yizhou, which has the largest population, does not have a total population of six million. The total value of the props in Ying Hao''s hands is equivalent to that of a large state.
After pondering for a moment, Ying Hao ordered the system: "Consuming 4,000 summoning points, conducting population summons in Youzhou, and summoning a population of two million."
Youzhou is vast and sparsely populated, with a large number of unparalleled land waiting to be developed. It is also the base for the Qin Dynasty to counterattack Yuanmeng in the future, but it only has a total population of less than three million, so it is naturally Ying Hao''s first choice for the population to be increased.
[Okay, please set the age stage. 】
Ying Hao said decisively without thinking, "All age groups."
After several population summonings, Ying Hao realized that it is not the best to summon young and strong people. After all, young means vitality and motivation. If a region is full of young people, many social problems will easily arise, which is very unfavorable to rule, so it is relatively best to summon all age groups.
[Okay, the host currently has 11195 summoning points, consumes 4,000 summoning points, and performs two summonings of millions of people...
The summoning was successful. In the next two years, these two million people will arrive in Youzhou in various forms, and the total population of Youzhou will reach 4.8 million.
The host currently has two million people remaining to summon the summoning authority, and the remaining summoning points are: 7195 summoning points. 】
"Use all 5 summoning cards for a million people, including: Sizhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Liangzhou." Ying Hao continued to order the system.
[Okay, please set the age stage. 】
“All age groups.”
[Okay, use 5 million-population summon cards to perform 5 million-population summons…
The summoning was successful. In the next two years, these two million people will arrive in various forms in various forms. By then, the total population of Sizhou will reach 3.9 million, the total population of Bingzhou will reach 5.3 million, the total population of Jizhou will be 5.8 million, the total population of Qingbei will be 2.9 million, and the total population of Liangzhou will be 1.2 million;】
The total population of Daqin was originally 25 million, but now it is adding 7 million, which is 32 million.
Even if it is based on the proportion of twenty people raising one army, it can provide one and six million troops, not to mention the one and four million troops planned by Ying Hao.
Of course, the plan to expand the army of 1.4 million is just a general plan. How to proceed depends on the financial situation.
If the financial situation is good, Ying Hao will expand his army by 1.6 million, which is not impossible.
The Qin Dynasty had not yet completed its unification, and the total population of Jiuzhou land exceeded 30 million. This is almost impossible according to common sense, but Ying Hao has a system, and only if the system cheats him, can he do this.
After this population summoning, the total population of the Great Qin Empire has exceeded half of the world''s total population. The combined population of the nine countries of Wei, Song, Wu, Ming, Qi, Shu, Chu, Sui and Tang dynasties is not as large as that of the Great Qin.
You should know that the total population of the Han Dynasty before the chaotic times began was about 55 million.
The Yellow Turban Uprising was accompanied by the melee of the princes. In just over a decade, countless people died of starvation, battle and illness in various places, and the total number of deaths even reached about 20 million.
Although there are many deaths, as suppressing the aristocratic families became a consensus, major forces have liberated a large number of hidden people from the aristocratic families, with a total of nearly 10 million.
In addition, Ying Hao conquered Hetao, Liu Xiu conquered Baiyue, Sun Jian conquered Shanyue, and Tang and Sui Dynasty destruction of Qiang tribes all absorbed a large number of foreign races, thereby alleviating their own population pressure.
In addition, Ying Hao also used the system to summon population many times and summoned 10 million people.
With the promotion of new grain varieties, grain production in various places has greatly increased. After the productivity has increased, countries have implemented policies to encourage childbirth, which has greatly increased the population birth rate.
Through the above measures, the total population of the world is about 58 million, which is more than before the chaotic times begin, and generally shows an upward trend rather than a decline.
I have to say that this is indeed a strange appearance, which has made countless historians in later generations want to solve.
The total population of the whole world is 58 million, while the Qin Dynasty has 32 million. Obviously, it has the strength to unify the world. The only thing that lacks is the time to digest its strength.
After summoning the population, Ying Hao clicked on the system''s world map function, and the division of power among the nine eastern countries was extremely conspicuous.

But from this data, we can see that except for the two countries of Sui and Tang dynasties, the other seven countries have carried out major disarmament, and are currently in a state of rest and recuperation.
Although the Tang State has not disarmament for the time being, it will definitely be disarmament after the situation stabilizes. After all, it has maintained such a large army. If the Qin army does not need to fight over, the Tang army will collapse on its own.
After Wang Meng reported on his policy strategy, Ying Hao looked at the Minister of Rites Xi Zhicai below and asked him to report on the preparations for the imperial examination.
The Education Department, one of the six departments of the Ministry of Rites, is in charge of all schools across the country and the imperial examinations. Therefore, matters related to the imperial examinations are naturally under the jurisdiction of Xi Zhicai, the Minister of Rites.
"Report to Your Majesty, this imperial examination will be the summer examination. I will set the examination period for six months..."
[Dingdong, the Xi Zhicai skill "Ji" is activated.
jealousy of God: If you are too talented and have outstanding talents, even God will be jealous, which will lead to congenital diseases in the body and are extremely difficult to cure. Different people have different effects.
Effect 1. Each time it is activated, reduce the enemy coach by 1 to 4 points of intelligence, and the enemy general’s intelligence is -2.
Effect 2. When making suggestions, intelligent battles, and calculating others, intelligence +2. If your own intelligence is lower than the other party''s intelligence, the additional intelligence +1 is added.
Effect 3. When dealing with government affairs, your own politics will rise by 1 to 3 points.
Note: Tianyan is a skill that is often used. Whenever you try your best to achieve your brain and mind, this skill will be activated. Every time the basic force is activated, the basic force is permanently -2. When the basic force is reduced to below 10 points, death will occur. However, if congenital disease is cured before the basic force is reduced to 15 points, the basic force will permanently +20, but the effect 1 will also be relatively weakened. 】
‘God’ is not Guo Jia’s unique skill. Xi Zhicai is also weak, sick, resourceful and good at making decisions. In addition, his and Guo Jia’s physical problems have long been cured.
[Dingdong, the skill of Xi Zhicai is activated, the effect 3 is activated, and the politics +3 is activated.
Xi Zhicai: Commander 88 (+2), Martial power 35 (+10), Intelligence 98, Politics 96 (+2), Charm 95 (+3);
The current politics of the Xizhicai rose to 99 points. 】
Xi Zhicai made a report slowly, but in just a few words, the imperial examination matters were arranged in an orderly manner, and even Ying Hao couldn''t help but nod in secret.
The old ministers of the Yanmen Army era are reassuring to use!
"The Secretary of the Mother, the first imperial examination in the empire was crucial and no mistakes were allowed."
Ying Hao reminded him seriously, and then said, "In addition to the imperial examination, the Ministry of Rites must also come up with a plan as soon as possible for the construction of the academies of various prefectures and counties."
What is the biggest gap between aristocratic families and civilians?
Of course it is the inheritance of knowledge.
Most aristocratic families have their own collection of books, and children of their own clan will learn whatever book they want. Even if the common people are rich, they may not be able to buy books, let alone receive education.
But nowadays are different.
As Ying Hao promoted papermaking and printing, the cost of books and learning was greatly reduced, which greatly impacted the family''s monopoly position on education.
Nowadays, learning is no longer a privilege for disciples of aristocratic families, and even ordinary children can learn.
