After a war, the losing side is certainly depressed, has no light on its face, and its strength has fallen, but the victorious side also has a lot of troublesome aftermath to deal with. Therefore, Gao Yuan did not care about the reunion with his wives and concubines, and in the early morning of the second day after returning to Daijun, he recruited officials to summarize the battle.

Although Daijun achieved a brilliant victory in this war, annihilating about 150,000 Qin troops in total, capturing more than 60,000 Qin troops, and occupying a large amount of land, the casualties of the Dai army were also not small, with more than 70,000 soldiers killed in battle, and more than 4,000 soldiers were injured and disabled, and they could no longer fight in the army. In addition, a large amount of food and materials, financial and material resources have been consumed. Although the war was basically fought in the vicinity of Daigun, Daigun still recruited more than 500,000 civilian servants to support the war on the front, so it had a heavy impact on Daigun's agricultural production, which originally had not much arable land and was difficult to be completely self-sufficient, and this year's land endowment was definitely insufficient, and a large amount of grain needed to be imported to fill this gap.

However, this battle is still a huge harvest for Dai County, so far, the actual area occupied by the Dai army is Guangyang County, Yuyang County, Youbeiping County of Yan State, Julu County and Dongyang County of Zhao State, plus the original territory, roughly including most of Hebei Province later, northern and eastern Shanxi, and part of the central and southern parts of Inner Mongolia, the territory area has more than doubled, although there is no detailed statistics on the population, but it is estimated that it should be between four hundred and five million, and it is Guangyang County of Yan State, that is, the land of Dukang, It has always been the main grain and grass production in Yan State, the land is fertile and abundant, and Julu County in Zhao State is located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, which is also a fertile soil, so it can be said that as long as it is properly governed, Dai County's grain can be completely self-sufficient.

Therefore, after this battle, the overall strength of Daijun has been greatly improved, although it is not as good as the three kingdoms of Qin, Qi and Chu, but it is already stronger than Zhao Wei, Han Yan and other countries that were destroyed by Qin, and can completely compete with the Qin army.

However, because these lands are newly occupied, it still needs a certain amount of time to stabilize dìng, appoint local officials, restore local order, formulate taxes, and fully integrate them into the control system of Daijun, but not only can not bring much benefit to Daijun in a short period of time, on the contrary, Daijun needs to pay considerable manpower and material resources to restore and rebuild, but this is only an upfront investment, once these places are restored to normal, Daijun can start to collect dividends.

Fortunately, Daijun has been preparing for this war for several years, and has indeed accumulated a lot of materials and money, and this war did not last long, and it was only more than five months before and after, so although a lot of materials and money were consumed, there was still a certain surplus in the treasury, and it was still able to support it. The newly occupied places have not been greatly damaged, the loss of personnel is not large, and the reconstruction does not require too much financial and material resources, on the contrary, the investment of manpower is larger. It is mainly in these occupied areas that an effective administrative system and military force have been established.

In addition, in the past six years in Daijun, Daijun has established a set of effective administrative system and experience in governing the country, and has also trained a group of middle- and lower-level officials with management experience, so it is not very difficult to establish an administrative system in the occupied areas, as long as this set of experience and system of governing the country is copied to other occupied places, and the other is to redivide the army.

Ning Qi and others had already begun to have several preliminary ideas for the post-war restoration work, and had also made some preparations, and had determined some candidates, just waiting for Gao Yuan to make a decision.

In fact, on the way back to Dai County, Gao Yuan also thought about post-war governance affairs, and generally had three ideas: the first is the redivision of the existing area, according to the existing administrative area, there are currently nine counties under the jurisdiction of Dai County, namely Yunzhong County, Yanmen County, Dai County, Shanggu County, Julu County, Dongyang County, Guangyang County, Yuyang County, and Youbeiping County.

"County" is roughly equivalent to the concept of a province in later generations, but Gao Yuan believes that although his current territory is not small, it is still a little more to be divided into nine provincial-level administrative regions, because in another time and space, after the Qin State unified the six countries, it was only divided into 36 counties.

Now that I have such a little territory, I will divide it into nine counties, of course, there are too many of them, and it will cause unfavorable factors such as too many officials, excessive administrative costs, and reduced administrative efficiency, so it is more appropriate to merge the current nine counties to a certain extent and reduce them to five or six counties.

The second is to move the capital, now Daijun is the administrative center of the plateau, which is equivalent to the capital, but the location of Daijun is too northerly, far away from the Central Plains, it used to be such a place, so there is no other choice, and with the expansion of the territorial area, the center of gravity is gradually shifting to the south, if it is still Daijun as the administrative center, it is obviously not suitable, not only is not conducive to the further development of Daijun, but also is not conducive to the development of military operations in the future, so it is necessary to choose a new place as the administrative center.

However, the new capital city was chosen there, and the plateau did not have a clear goal for a while, and there was no particularly large scale in the area he currently occupied, which was suitable for the establishment of the capital, and if a new place was chosen to build the capital, it would require a lot of manpower and material resources, so it would be necessary to make a decision after consulting with the ministers.

The third is to attack Liaodong in the north, completely destroy the Yan State, and bring the remaining Liaodong and Liaoxi counties of the Yan State into their own control. This is a decision made by Gao Yuan after hearing that Yan Guo had sent envoys to ask him for Jijing.

Among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, Yan is a relatively alternative one, on the one hand, Yan has the longest history and is the last branch of the Zhou Dynasty, so in the hearts of Yan people, they often regard themselves as orthodox and look down on other countries, but Yan is the weakest of the Seven Heroes, only a few years strong during the period of King Yan Zhao, and its influence is limited to the East, and the biggest achievement is to almost destroy the Qi State; On the other hand, the Yan State was the most unstable factor in the alliance, because it was in the early period of the Alliance, the Yan State repeatedly betrayed the alliance and led the failure of the Alliance. In the late Warring States period, Qin and Zhao fought for the male, and Zhao was located between Qin and Yan, blocking Qin's troops for Yan State, according to the truth of the cold lips and teeth, Yan State should be friendly with Zhao State, but for some reason, Yan State wanted to be the enemy of Zhao State, and after every Zhao and Qin war, Yan State would send troops to attack Zhao State, but every time Zhao State was defeated, and the army was lost. And what makes people puzzled is that if Yan wants to expand its territory, it should also attack the Qi State, which has never been heavily armed, why should it be provoked by Zhao State, which is recognized as the strongest soldier.

However, Gao Yuan is too lazy to study what kind of mentality Yan Guo has, since Yan Guo is an unstable factor, then it is the best way to reduce this unstable factor as soon as possible and never suffer in the future. Just after the war, all countries have to rest for a few years, and this will enter a few years of peace, there will be no large-scale war, it is a good time to completely destroy Yan and eliminate unstable factors, and now there are only two counties left in Yanguo in Liaoxi and Liaodong, which are already extremely weak, and there is no territorial border with other countries, so there will be no country to rescue Yan. Not willing to strike at all.

After listening to Gao Yuan talk about his three ideas, Ning Qi said: "The three points that the lord said are all things that should be implemented immediately, but before that, there are two things that are more urgent, and if these two things are not solved, the three points that the lord said are difficult to implement." ”

Gao Yuan was also stunned for a moment, and said, "There are still those two things, are you so anxious?" ”

Ning Qi, Shen Shen, and Geng Zhong glanced at each other, and Ning Qi smiled and said, "Please call the lord the king Jianguo first, and then implement the three points of the lord." ”

After hearing this, Gao Yuan not only laughed, but said, "I thought it was something important, but it turned out to be these two things." ”

Shen Shen said: "The lord and can't think that these two things are irrelevant, as the saying goes, if the name is not right, it is not good, now the Zhou family is dead, the heroes have no leader, Qin, Chu, Qiyan, and the countries have long been called kings, and now the lord has just won a big victory over the Qin army, and now he has a territory of thousands of miles, with hundreds of thousands, enough to respect Qin Chuqi, and the lord is now with Wu Anjun as the honorific title, it is really not worth the name, and it is also inconvenient for us to set up officials and knights, since Qin Chuqi has already called the king, why can't the lord be called the king." ”

Geng Zhong also said: "It is necessary to build a country to be called the king, and now the lord has owned the land of nine counties, and it is not enough to be a county, and there are many inconveniences in the exchange of official documents, announcements, edicts, decrees, etc., so it is reasonable to establish a national name in order to justify the name." ”

Gao Yuan nodded, although he has always cared about these false names, but if it is really what everyone expects, he will not refuse to call Wang Jianguo, and he also understands the hearts of the officials, although the feudal monarch still implements the three-level official system of the Zhou system of scholars, doctors, and secretaries in the county, and although the feudal monarch is above the third-level officials of the scholar, doctor, and secretary, it is still a title under the ministers, not to mention that the Qin State also set up two titles above the feudal monarch, Guan Neihou and Liehou, which are higher than the feudal monarch in terms of name. Therefore, Gao Yuan still uses the title of Wu Anjun, of course, there are many changes, and it also affects the promotion of other officials in Daijun. Although it is a feudal monarch or a feudal candidate, it is just a name, but not everyone is the same as Gao Yuan, and they don't care about the imaginary name.

In addition, Gao Yuan also thought that with his current strength and the merits of defeating the Qin army, it is reasonable to be called a king, since the ministers have persuaded him to be the king, it is inconvenient to refuse, and since he is the king, of course, he must establish a national name, which is better to say, so he also nodded and said: "Since everyone thinks so, then according to everyone's opinion." ”

When the three of them heard this, they were all overjoyed, and said in unison: "Thank you, lord." ”

But Gao Yuan thought for a while, and said: "But this must not be said in advance, because the envoys of Qi and Chu are about to come to Daijun, since they are going to form a Triple Alliance, then the act of becoming the king cannot ignore their feelings, first listen to the attitude of Qi and Chu, and then don't let them feel too sudden." ”
