The capital of the Qin State in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was not Xianyang at the beginning, and the old Qin people were semi-settled and semi-nomadic at the beginning, in fact, there was no fixed capital.

At that time, Wei took advantage of Qin's civil strife and seized Qin's land west of Hexi (between the Yellow River and the Luo River). After Qin Xiangong ascended the throne in 384 BC, he was determined to recover the land of Hexi, and in 383 BC he built Liyang City in Liyi, and moved the capital to Liyang, followed by a series of reforms, carried out a military counterattack against Wei, and initially changed the situation of passive beating.

After the death of Qin Xiangong, his son Qin Xiaogong inherited his career. Qin Xiaogong appointed Shang Yang to carry out a series of reforms, which made the poor and weak Qin state the most advanced and richest of the kingdoms, and laid a solid foundation for Qin Shi Huang to unify China. In 350 B.C., Shang Ying issued a second decree in Liyang, moving the capital from Liyang to Xianyang. Liyang as the capital of the Qin State for only 34 years, during this period the Qin State is in a period from weak to strong, so Liyang has an extremely important position in the history of the Chinese capital. Ancient oak yang is also famous for the Shang martingale reform.

The distance between Liyang and Xianyang is less than fifty miles from the plane map, it is located on the north side of Weishui, on the edge of Zhengguo Canal, less than thirty miles away from Wucheng, another garrison site of the Qin army during the Warring States Period, even now Liyang still has a high status for the Qin people.

The patrol team did not go to Liyang, and on the way, Lu Zhe only listened to Li Si, Meng Tian and other people in Guanzhong talk about the changes in the Qin State in history.

Of course, some people from Qin Di have their intentions when talking about the historical changes in Qin Land, Zhang Liang repeatedly wanted to break that atmosphere, but after trying a few times, Lu Zhe still listened to it with relish, and he could only suppress his inner uneasiness.

Some people told Lu Zhe that the historical changes in Qin were to call for the memory of being a Qin person like the emperor, after all, from the perspective of nationality, Lu Zhe was from Longxi.

Why did Longxi County throw itself into Lu Zhe's arms so simply? In addition to most of the big clans in Longxi County, they established long-term trade relations with the Han State at that time, isn't it because Lu Zhe's nationality is from Longxi County!

For the people of Longxi, the people of Nanjun and the Yangtze River basin are the main talents in the process of Lu Zhe's rise. Anyway, it's not the Longxi people who take the lead, since they can't monopolize the first place, only the unwilling queen, Lu Zhe beckons slightly, how can there be a reason not to defect immediately!

Zhang Liang's inner uneasiness stems from the fact that people from Qin have a tendency to fill the court more and more, and the generals in the army used to be basically from the Yiling lineage, although they were born in Qin, accounting for forty percent, but sixty percent were from the homeland of the Six Kingdoms. In the civil official system, people from Qin accounted for 30 percent, and officials from the homeland of the Six Kingdoms accounted for 70 percent, which accounted for a relatively large proportion.

The old nations either disappeared or became feudal. For a period of time, the proportion of civil and military officials under Lu Zhe changed again, and with the acceptance of the civil and military affairs of the old countries, when the empire was established, the military general group increased by 10% to 70% of the military group, and the civilian official group increased by 20% to 90%.

Some "well-intentioned people" calculated that seventy percent of the military's generals were born in the old countries, and ninety percent of the civilian-bureaucratic group were also born in the old countries, and they once celebrated each other, thinking that it was a very good trend, and they also thought that although Lu Zhe was born in Qin, he took great care of people from the old countries. Basically, with an inexplicable eagerness, there is a great idea of wanting to suppress the Qin family's civil and military forces.

In recent years, the national policy formulated by Lu Zhe has not changed, but people from Qin Di have begun to flood the officialdom with a "emergent" scale, and it has only been less than three years. The proportion of officials in the center of the Qin region has regained 30 percent, the military generals from Qin have been restored to 40 percent, and the civilian official group has increased by 10 percent to 40 percent compared with the previous 30 percent.

There is a set of processes for the appointment of officialdom in the empire, and it is based on performance and evaluation. However, once people have preconceived notions in their hearts, they will not think about the same platform, equal opportunities, and will only get the answers they want from a series of things. That is, there are signs of re-escalation of people from Qindi, and then it is guessed that Lu Zhe will make great use of people from Qindi.

The Wehrmacht had the size of twenty legions, of which eight were lieutenant generals from Qindi, and five of these six legions were cavalry legions, while the empire only had six cavalry legions. Lu Zhe's emphasis on the cavalry corps is well known to the world, and five of the six cavalry legions are actually Zhonglang generals of the Qin family, which is another proof that those people speculate that Lu Zhe wants to favor the Qin family.

Let's take a look at where the three infantry corps led by the other three Qin-born Zhonglang generals are stationed, one of the elite infantry is stationed in Luoyang, Sanchuan County, and the other two elite infantry are in Handan in Handan County and Guanjin in Julu County. As long as you look at the map of the mountains and rivers, you will come to a conclusion that any of the three places is a strategic place, and it is the most important place for soldiers to fight.

The rest of the legions, the cavalry corps is still being strengthened, but the infantry army has gradually reduced the auxiliary troops and the war troops, and few are in a state of full strength, and the places where they are stationed are in addition to the border counties, although many of them are in the transportation hubs, but it is not like a strategic place that is the most important one.

There is also a difference between the generals from the old countries, the group of people from the Six Kingdoms who followed Lu Zhe from Yiling in the early days, they were in high positions, but their hearts were not necessarily towards the old countries, such as Gongwei and Ji Bu are more obvious examples, watching what they did did not look like they were fighting for the Chu people.

In addition, although they are in the positions of Zhonglang Generals, such as Wu Rui, Huan Chu, Zhou Wen, Cao Ji, Zhou Yin, Sima Ang and others, these people have their own experiences and different backgrounds, the only thing that is a little similar is that they are not up or down, and most of the time they are powerless if they want to do something.

Fusu accepted the peaceful annexation, and many officials who were originally the center of the Qin State mostly chose to leave the feudal state, not as ministers of their subordinates, and directly served the emperor, the representative figures of the military were Meng Tian, Wang Ben, and Xu Yan, and the representative figures of the civil officials were Kui Lin, Li Si, and Wang Juan, most of whom also found their own positions in a short period of time to continue to shine.

It's not that there are some talented people who stay in the Qin feudal state, the more famous ones are Meng Yi, Feng Zheng, Nei Shi Teng and others, they have not cut off contact with other people who directly serve the emperor, and there are some indications that the Qin feudal state can be selected in the Western Regions is from the central part of the Qin civil and military operations.

Many people don't understand a point, didn't the emperor read history books? During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qin State was located in the northwest corner, grew stronger in the process of development, and then advanced eastward to dominate the world, arranging the Qin State in the Western Regions, where the control of the empire was not too strong. Is that to repeat history?

Zhang Liang took the opportunity to express his concern to Lü Zhe, believing that it might be a disaster to settle the Qin feudal state in the Western Regions, and suggested that Lü Zhe re-choose the fief of the Qin king Fusu, and even thought that it would be a good choice to arrange for the newly discovered Luzon mainland at sea.

"Luzon is located in the southwest of the imperial maritime frontier, and the existing shipping lanes are basically to pass through Luzon." Lü Zhe was very pleased that Zhang Liangneng talked about the importance of Luzon's location from the perspective of the empire, and then said: "Luzon is an inexhaustible copper mine underneath, and the island is full of gems. The various spices that had been discovered were popular and sought after in the empire, and after learning about them, did the Doctor still think that it was appropriate for the Qin feudal state to be placed on Luzon? ”

Previously, Zhang Liang knew that Luzon Island was rich in spices, but he did not know that Luzon Island contained a huge amount of copper ore underground. I didn't know that the island was full of gems, so I was stunned when I heard this, but said: "At least it's not on land, even if there will be repeated effects and consequences later, it won't be fatal." The Western Regions is located on land, and it is on the way to the westward expansion of the empire, if the Qin feudal state is repeated in the future, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Of course, Lu Zhe knew about these things, but he had other plans. He changed the subject and talked about the government affairs presided over by Li Si. Later, he talked about the number of newborns in the empire that had exceeded thirty million, and asked, "Maybe the doctor can take on more important duties?" ”

The empire had a policy of encouraging childbirth, and the number of newborns had increased repeatedly in recent years, as the second-line troops and auxiliaries were mostly repatriated back to the hinterland. They are getting more leave, and the number of newborns has increased to nearly eight million this year.

Childbearing should also be encouraged by health care, otherwise it will cause a terrible disaster. The empire's health care infrastructure has been underway since the 36th year of the First Emperor's reign, and it has been six years now. Because of the restrictions of the control zone at that time. In fact, the counties in the Yangtze River basin have achieved some results, but the Central Plains, Guanzhong, Yandi and other regions that were incorporated into the rule in the later period have only made a start.

"Health care everywhere is important to ensure the survival and health of newborns. It's about the Empire's 100-year plan. Lu Zhe's face was full of longing, and he said: "Nearly 200 million guan has been invested in a few years, and there will be even greater investment in the future, and the center has allocated 1 billion guan in the next ten years, and 100 million guan will be invested every year to take care of related problems." And this does not take into account the cost of encouraging childbearing. ”

Zhang Liang's expression was directly stunned when he heard this.

A billion? The empire's current annual income is more than 30 million guan, which is on the rise, but it is estimated that it will not exceed 60 million guan in the next ten years. In the previous years, the empire's financial investment was 40 million to 50 million guan, which is equivalent to a fiscal deficit of at least 10 million guan per year. As a result, even if the estimated annual fiscal tax revenue reaches 60 million yuan, it will be difficult to cover the previous fiscal deficit in a short period of time.

It is not a secret to many people that the national treasury is very rich, not only the central government knows it, but also the county officials in some places know it, and even the people can see that the state continues to invest money to build local foundations.

The national treasury should really be very rich, after all, the minerals in various places have been mining precious metals such as copper, silver, and gold, and after the navy occupied the Japanese archipelago, two kinds of minerals such as silver and gold were discovered in succession. Zhang Liang happened to have access to the production of precious metals in the Japanese Islands, and in just two years, hundreds of ships of precious metals had been shipped back to the mainland, although most of them were unrefined ores, but he could imagine how much gold and silver they were. He had just heard the emperor say that there were unimaginable copper mines under Luzon, and he was shocked but actually ecstatic.

Recently, the empire has been sending equipment and craftsmen to the Japanese islands, and intends to build supporting facilities for refining in the Japanese islands, so that in the future, there will be no need for the Japanese islands to transport the raw ore back to the empire for refining, and gold and silver can be transported back after local refining, which is equivalent to increasing the transportation capacity in disguise.

Zhang Liang also knew that the relevant exploration team had also traveled to Luzon from mainland China to explore the veins, and some news also showed that the veins had indeed been discovered. Not counting the Luzon side, a super-large copper mine has also been found in Cochin on land.

With so many minerals combined, will the empire be short of money? The empire will not be short of money at all! What should really be worried is whether there will be any undesirable phenomena caused by so much money being put into the market.

Lu Zhe, the emperor, is estimated to be one of the more comfortable ones in history, which is based on the premise that he has "advanced vision", in fact, it is also related to the expansion national policy formulated at the beginning.

It is a consensus that the use of alien slaves for labor will not change the minds of the people in the country. It is also the consensus to use alien slaves for dangerous work. The domestic leaders have been killed and injured, and the policy of the empire needs relevant pensions, even if there are pensions, it will make the people's hearts gradually lost, and it is better not to do this kind of thing if you don't want to make people angry. Alien slaves are dead when they die, not to mention whether they take alien slaves as people, alien slaves are dead, at least no one in the country will feel distressed, from some parts, the high consumption of alien slaves even makes a large number of people who are engaged in slavery smile.

The emperor has less to curb because he has money, so why is this not the case for a country's civil and military affairs? Because the consuls were not short of money, they had more confidence in dealing with the demands of various places; Because the military has money, it can also have the most sophisticated equipment and a steady supply of grain, and the only thing to worry about is whether logistics and transportation can keep up.

Zhang Liang naturally wanted to accept the emperor's appointment, and he was very much looking forward to finally ending his status as a perennial doctor and devoting himself to the handling of civil affairs.

"It is destined to be a magnificent year...... Zhang Liang has a lot of expectations in his heart, looking at the scene of Lu Zhe talking happily with the civil and military ministers, he has more extended thoughts in his heart: "A different emperor, because of the national conditions of the whole country that is united. The emperor is Chinese New Year's Eve three years old today, he is usually in good health and has never been sick, and his face has not aged for a long time. ”

Mingjun is hard to find, especially a man who is not murderous internally, is a generous courtier, cares about the people, and is committed to pioneering...... And so many other aspects of the emperor, what kind of courtiers do not want to serve under such a person? (To be continued.) )
