***

Qin Mu was in Chang'an until the beginning of spring, and there were some small-scale rebellions in Qinghai-Tibet, but there were no major changes, and Qin Mu was relieved.

I have to say that the law of drawing Ding is really a good policy, and taking away the young and strong of these few tribes is equivalent to drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle, even if someone wants to make trouble, they can't make a fuss.

In the northern steppe, a large number of Mongolian nobles were relocated inward, preventing them from taking the lead in rebellion, and the imperial court issued a policy to promote Mongolian tribes to live together, open fur processing factories, recruit workers, and prohibit overgrazing, which played a very big role in the protection of the grassland ecology.

Qin Mu drove back to Nanjing in March and took a look along the way.

Because of the high labor intensity, 800,000 prisoners died more than forty percent in the process of road construction, but the war on the Indochina Peninsula is still prolonging, and the aborigines are still being cleaned up. The construction of roads is one thing, and the other is to use the war to greatly reduce the number of natives in the Indochina Peninsula and lay a solid foundation for long-term peace and stability in the future.

The coverage of the cable telegraph is also becoming more and more extensive, and basically every state has a telegraph. The telegraph station was open to the public, and to send a telegram of less than five crosses, you had to pay 20 cents.

Even so, the telegraph stations in various places are still very busy, and every day all kinds of official letters, text messages, and business information can be transmitted quickly through the telegraph network, and the operation speed of the whole society has been greatly accelerated because of the appearance of the telegraph.

As a result, the imperial court was able to cut down on a large number of post stations and reduce expenditures.

Because the imperial court encouraged industry and commerce. With the improvement of the internal road network and the removal of foreign trade barriers, Daqin's industrial and commercial industries are constantly growing, and many industries have shifted from traditional family-style handicraft workshops to intensive large-scale production.

Nanjing's stock exchange has become more and more prosperous, there are more and more listed companies, and the people in big cities have gradually changed the habit of storing money and turned it to investment to make money.

The influence that Qin Mu brought to Great Qin was in all aspects. From politics to military, ideology, science and technology, education, and so on, the changes are revolutionary.

The official road from Xijing to Nanjing is paved with asphalt pavement, very spacious and flat, along the way, Qin Mu lived very comfortably, the spring breeze was blowing, the grass and trees were green, and he lay on the spacious and luxurious imperial chariot. enjoying the hospitality of princesses from all over the world;

Princess Irina of Tsarist Russia and the charming Persian princess Ishman were half-dressed, vaguely wonderful, one left and one right fed cherries to Qin Mu with small mouths, and the enchanting Russian queen Dani lay down under Qin Mu. A snowy light shook

The country, the beauty, this is the life of the emperor.

After returning to Nanjing, Qin Mu completed the initial judicial reform. Began to introduce tax reform, while refining and optimizing the original tax. Set up consumption tax, personal income tax, corporate income tax, value-added tax, etc.

Since history, China's tax system has been deformed, with the poor paying taxes, and the rich getting richer and richer without paying taxes.

Such a tax system caused the exhaustion of the imperial court's tax revenue, and would make the contradiction between the rich and the poor irreconcilable, the rich became richer, the poor became poorer, and they could not even eat, and finally developed to the point that they could only use force to redistribute power and wealth, and the demise of all dynasties was the same.

This is the biggest cause of the collapse of the country in the past dynasties.

Qin Mu's previous judicial reforms were actually paving the way for tax reform.

In 1874, under the strong promotion of Qin Mu, it lasted three years, and the judicial, fiscal and taxation reforms of Daqin were basically completed.

In 1875, the Great Qin Dynasty basically completed the suppression of the Indochina Peninsula and the Nanyang Islands, and the war subsided.

In 1877, Daqin's steam engine technology made a major breakthrough, the steam locomotive was successful, and the first railway from Beijing to Kaifeng began to be laid, marking Daqin's entry into the railway era.

In the same year, the first steam iron kettle ship came out, with a displacement of 1,000 tons and a speed of 8 knots.

In 1880, after many demonstrations and field surveys, as well as technology accumulation, the Great Qin requisitioned 200,000 laborers from Africa and the Ottoman Empire to excavate the Suez Canal on a large scale, which took four years to complete, opening up the golden waterway of the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea in one fell swoop.

In Europe, France was divided into two countries, and the three southern provinces were occupied by Spain. Charles II of England was successfully restored and the monarchy was restored.

In the Middle East, the Ottoman Empire struggled to build a strong navy due to financial depletion, and the Mediterranean coast was constantly under attack by European powers. The internal contradictions intensified, and three separatist powers were born in the Arabian Peninsula, openly freeing themselves from Ottoman rule.

The Persian Empire, on the other hand, fought a decade-long war with the Kurds and Uzbeks in Khorasan, exhausted, and finally had to recognize the Kurds and Uzbeks as independent states.

In India, relations between the Mughal Empire and the Dzungar state of Western Mongolia have been tense, with skirmishes. Mo Chen'er gradually weakened, and Great Qin's control over India continued to grow, reducing India to a semi-colony.

In the south, Ceylon, the indigenous people were basically caught up with the Indian mainland, and the port of Gaolangbu became the headquarters of the Great Qin Indian Ocean Fleet, and the number of Han Chinese on the island of Ceylon increased to 80,000, and the trade was unprecedentedly prosperous.

By 1881, the paper dragon coins of Daqin had basically passed through Korea, Japan, Siam, and several Tibetan vassal countries in India. Japan was under the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate, and it was a daunting day.

In the same year, the first rear-loading howitzer with modern significance was launched in Nanjing Ordnance Supervision with a range of 17 miles. Mortars and torpedoes were used to equip the army, and the Great Qin Navy became the sole hegemon on the oceans, and began to colonize the Americas and seize the Great Lakes region of North America.

In 1882, Qin Mu reformed the cabinet system and gave the cabinet greater administrative powers. At the same time, the election system of local councillors was improved and a parliament was established, which allowed Qin Mu to take more time out of his daily heavy government affairs.

In 1883, the first wireless transmitter came out in Nanjing. In the same year, a major breakthrough was made in oil refining technology, refining diesel and gasoline, which provided energy support for internal combustion engine technology.

The first thermal power station in Niushoushan, south of Nanjing, was successfully piloted, providing electricity for lighting throughout the palace.

In this year, Qin Mu was 38 years old, and he already had 28 sons and 22 daughters
