In the days that followed, the officials of Daijun actively discussed and studied the three points proposed by Takahara, while Takahara focused on rewarding the army.

Daijun is similar to the Qin State to reward military merit system, the promotion of the army, are based on military merit, merit rewards and punishment, let the capable go up, the mediocre down. This can not help but maintain the morale of the army, let the soldiers fight the battlefield, bravely kill the enemy, and can also improve the credibility of the government, which is also very important, if the credibility of a government is lost, then the government's survival time is just around the corner.

When Shang Ying was in the Qin State and began to implement the reform of the law, in order to win the trust of the people, he sent people to erect a tree in the city and informed: "Whoever can move it to the city gate will be rewarded with ten gold." And no one in the Qin people dared to believe it, and then it was increased to fifty gold, so someone carried the wood and moved to the city gate, and sure enough, he was rewarded with fifty gold, and the Qin people began to believe in Shang Ying, so Shang Ying began to implement new laws in Qin. It is known as "Ximu Lixin" in history.

In later generations, the evaluation of "Ximu Lixin" is also different, and the positive view is that this is because Shang Ying established the credibility of the government among the people of Qin, and made the people believe in the new laws and decrees issued by the Qin court, which made a good start for changing the law in Qin; The opposite view is that this is just a show by Shang Ying, a little trick to fool the people, that is, to tell the people, don't think, just listen to me.

To be fair, both of these views are reasonable, and the "Ximu Lixin" has indeed played a role in building the credibility of the government, but it is also indeed a show by Shang Ying. However, putting on a show is an important component of political activities, and there are no politicians who don't put on a show, so Guan Jian is not about the show itself, but about the result after the show.

If you want to establish the credibility of the government, it is impossible to rely on a show alone, and there must be follow-up means, and in this regard, Shang Ying is undoubtedly successful, because the implementation of the new law has consolidated the credibility of the government established by Tong Guò "Ximu Lixin", so "Ximu Lixin" is not just a show of Shang Ying.

In the past few years in Daijun, Gao Yuan has indeed established the credibility of the government in Daijun, and the residents of Daijun have basically any objections to the news released by the government, the various systems promulgated, and the payment of taxes and services, just like this time to resist the Qin army, the people of Daijun are quite supportive of the various actions of the government.

However, Gao Yuan also knows that the credibility of the government is a long-term construction process, and it is very difficult to establish, and it is very easy to destroy it, so every small detail must be done. It is very important to reward and punish meritorious deeds, and to enforce orders and prohibitions, and the rewards and promotions of soldiers must not be taken lightly, and they must not be sloppy after a great victory over the Qin army.

Since this battle was a great victory for the Dai army, almost all the soldiers who participated in this battle basically had a prize, even if they had not fought on the battlefield, but just followed Izumo around in a circle, in addition to the normal military salary, each person could also get a reward of 200 copper coins. Two hundred copper coins is almost enough for an ordinary family of four or five people to live for two or three months in Daijun, and it is only the lowest reward for the Dai army, and other soldiers who have participated in the battle will receive a different number of money rewards according to the number of times each person has participated in the battle, as well as the size of the meritorious service. In addition, soldiers who were wounded or killed in battle also received considerable pensions, and some families also received tax reductions and exemptions.

As a result, just to reward the soldiers, it cost nearly a million copper coins, as well as thousands of eridium gold, originally after this battle, Daijun still had a considerable amount of gold and copper coins in stock, and more than half of it was used up at once, but it was still able to afford it.

In addition to rewarding money, there are also a considerable number of soldiers and generals who have been promoted because of their military merits. Therefore, most of the soldiers were very satisfied with their rewards, and Gao Yuan was extremely respectful.

After several busy days, the rewards of the army were finally processed, and the temporary recruits were immediately disbanded and let them go home to reunite with their families, while the soldiers who were serving took turns on leave, and each individual had their turn to go home to rest and reunite with their families.

In addition, this time the battle on behalf of the army also killed nearly 70,000 soldiers, in addition to thousands of wounded and disabled, so there is a considerable gap in the army, now the composition of the army is roughly divided into two kinds, one is the fixed army, that is, the professional army or the professional army, there is a fixed length of service, during the service, not allowed to quit halfway, like the formation of four corps in the county, it belongs to the fixed army, but also the main force of the army; The other is the temporary conscription army, also called the reserve army, which is an ordinary peasant in peacetime, but in peacetime it is necessary to receive a certain amount of military training, and then temporarily recruit and transfer it in wartime as a supplement to the main force.

Although such a set of military systems requires a large amount of financial and material resources to maintain an army on a fixed basis for a long time, in general, small and medium-sized wars can be dealt with by a fixed army and will not affect agricultural production. In this era of constant wars, the benefits still outweigh the suffocation.

Most of the dead are from the fixed army, there is a gap of about 50,000, and this gap is naturally to recruit new soldiers to fill, but now that the territory of the plateau has expanded, then the number of troops should also increase accordingly, but there is no need to rush for a while, after all, the possibility of war in a short period of time is not large, and there are more important things to deal with, so the army can be repaired for a period of time.

After Gao Yuan dealt with these matters, the envoys of Qi and Chu also approached Daijun and temporarily rested in the pavilion outside Daijun. Zhang Liang, who came to Daijun with the envoys of the two countries, entered the city overnight and met the plateau.

However, before meeting Zhang Liang, Gao Yuan listened to the staff of the pavilion post report that the envoys of the Yan State who had been expelled from the country by Dai County actually returned to Dai County with the envoys of Qi and Chu and lived in the pavilion post.

Originally, the personnel of the pavilion had been ordered by Ning Qi to prohibit the reception of the envoys of the Yan State, but this time the envoys of the Yan State came to Daijun with the envoys of Qi and Chu, and the two sides seemed very close, and the personnel of the pavilion also received instructions from the city of Dai County, and they must receive the envoys of the two countries of Qi and Chu with the highest specifications, and there could be no rudeness, so in front of the envoys of the two countries of Qi and Chu, the personnel of the pavilion were not good at expelling the envoys of Yan by force, so they had to let the envoys of Yan also live in the pavilion first, and then send people into the city to inform the plateau, Wait for the disposal of the plateau.

After Gao Yuan learned about it, he also felt a little surprised, did the envoys of Qi and Chu know that they had driven away the envoys of Yan, if they didn't know, then they were deceived by the envoys of Yan and used by the envoys of Yan, or that the envoys of Yan planned to use this opportunity to see themselves and ask for Jijing; If the envoys of Qi and Chu already knew about their own expulsion of the envoys of the Yan Kingdom, and they would bring the envoys of the Yan Kingdom to Daijun together, it would be interesting, could it be said that the two countries of Qi and Chu really planned to help the Yan State ask for Jijing.

Of course, the situation of the body, the plateau is not very clear, and it happened that Zhang Liang also came at this time, so it is necessary to ask carefully, but no matter what the situation is, the plateau will never give up an inch of land in Yan Kingdom.

After the two met, Zhang Liang first congratulated Gao Yuan, congratulating Gao Yuan on being able to defeat the Qin army this time and obtain a battle that changed the general trend of the world.

Gao Yuan smiled: "You don't have to be so polite in the ovary, sit down and talk." ”

After Zhang Liang thanked him, Gao Yuan said: "How did the envoy of Yan Yu meet with the envoys of Qi and Chu. ”

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "The minister knows that the lord will definitely ask this question, in fact, when he was outside the city, he was making a good proposition, and asked the staff of the pavilion to temporarily take in the envoy of the Yan Kingdom, please forgive me." ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "It must make sense for the ovary to decide so." ”

Zhang Liang said: "Back to my lord, this time the envoys from Qi and Chu are all mixed with dragonfish and fish, and it is not simple. ”

Gao Yuan laughed and said, "I want to hear about it." ”

It turned out that when the two armies of Dai Qin started the war, and within the two countries of Qi and Chu, there was also a fierce debate on the attitude of this war, although there were people in both Qi and Chu who advocated sending troops to aid the Dai army and resisting the Qin State together, such as Tian Kezang, Jun Tian Kezang of Qi State, Xiang Yan of Chu State, etc., all advocated joining forces with Dai County to resist the Qin army.

However, the Qin State has always attached importance to diplomatic activities, as early as the beginning of the war, it sent Yao Jia and Dun Liang to envoy Qi and Chu respectively, and also half threatened and half warned Qi and Chu not to send troops to aid the Dai army, and even asked Qi and Chu to send troops to destroy Dai County together with Qin. In Qi and Chu, there are also many pro-Qin people, the Qi State is represented by the victory of the prime minister, and in the Chu State, it is the three old families of Jing Zhaoqu, all of whom advocate friendship with the Qin State.

In Qi and Chu, the strength of the pro-Qin and pro-Dai factions is roughly equal, and naturally no one can convince anyone, but after some quarrels, the two countries finally decided to wait and see what happens, and not to make a decision to help that side for the time being.

And the deeper reason for such a result is that within the two countries of Qi and Chu, in fact, no one is quite optimistic about the Dai Army, even if they are the most supportive of the Dai Jun Tian Kezang and Xiang Yan of the two countries, they do not dare to insist too much on their own opinions, but of course the Qi and Chu countries do not have the courage to completely attach themselves to the Qin State and attack the Dai County, so they finally decided to remain neutral.

In fact, whether it is Zhang Liang or Yao Jia, or Dun Weak, they did not expect Qi and Chu to send troops to help themselves, but just hoped that Qi and Chu would not support each other, so it was acceptable for both sides to maintain a neutral attitude, so the activities of both sides came to an end temporarily, waiting for the progress of the war, after all, diplomacy is still based on national strength, and at this time, it is decided by the two sides of the Qin Dynasty on the battlefield.
