The Qin Empire is in a thriving stage recently, and there are profound changes in both external and internal.

Especially the imperial edicts sent by the Kuoma Envoy from Xianyang were shocked by the entire Qin Dynasty. At the same time, the official offices at all levels of the Qin Dynasty acted quickly, and temples were overthrown and books were collected.

As the First Emperor's prestige in the Qin Dynasty became increasingly high, especially after the land reform, the authority continued to increase. Basically, as long as the First Emperor's edict was issued, the people of the world no longer resisted.

In recent years, with the issuance of government orders again and again by the court, the credibility of the government office has long been established.

What's more, the imperial court issued an edict, and the Qin Dynasty will gradually establish academies in the future and promote education, so that people all over the world can enroll.

This decree inspired people and completely made the people of the country stand on this side of the court, leaving only the aristocratic families and branches of various schools of thought that were unwilling to surrender.

Under the leadership of Li Si, book burning and cultural unification are in full swing. At the same time, the work of book review and textbook writing under Chen Ping is in an orderly manner.

The entire Qin Empire's large and small official offices are operating, and the Office of Industry and Commerce and the Office of the Internal Affairs are constantly deepening the exploration of the internal economic system of the Qin Dynasty.

Nowadays, the most idle person in the entire Qin Empire is the First Emperor Ying Zheng.

He is thinking about the loopholes in the Qin Dynasty's national policy and what needs to be changed. Over the years, he has also gradually opened up the Silk Road.

However, the Qin Empire has not yet been integrated. In this regard, Ying Zheng is just a test and has not carried out loudly.

In Ying Zheng's plan, when he truly promotes the Silk Road, he must at least be internal and cultural unification.

At that time, it was the time when all the construction of the Qin court was about to be completed. At that time, the Qin Dynasty had a strong attraction and could absorb all the nutrients outside and continuously nourish the Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng never thought about the development of being calm and self-abiding, but wanted to complete the most primitive accumulation through plunder. This is also the reason why Ying Zheng never thought about opening up to the outside world now.

Because the foundation of the Qin Empire has not yet been solid.

"Zhao Gao, I have issued an edict to Cai Chong and Cai Jiu."

"promise."

The improvement of the Qin Empire system and the improvement of cultural undertakings will be a huge leap, allowing Ying Zheng to continue to promote the direction of the ancient dynasty and prevent him from fulfilling his dreams in his lifetime. This is painful for Ying Zheng.

As an emperor, you should have the courage to shoulder all the courage.

"Your Majesty, news came from the Black Ice Platform, there was trace of Xu City. He was encountered by our Daqin Navy and is now detained in Dandong Port." At this moment, the commander of the Black Ice Platform hurried over and reported to Ying Zheng.

"Is Xushi?"

With a whisper, a sudden realization flashed through Ying Zheng's eyes. After these years, he had forgotten this person. The Qin Dynasty had a lot of disadvantages, and he had no intention of taking some small people and small problems to heart.

After thinking for a long time, Ying Zheng spoke decisively and said, "Tell Wang Ben and ask him to send Xu City to Xianyang."

"promise."

For Ying Zheng, he missed Wang Ben a little.

Moreover, Wang Jian is getting older, and the chances of meeting between father and son will be less and less. Most importantly, he wants to know the news about the navy's long voyage over the years.

Valley

This long voyage is just for crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, but it is also a test. The future Daqin will surely go overseas.

The Qin Dynasty not only wanted to plunder from land, but also from sea.

Plunder the entire world and support a great Qin family.

This is what Ying Zheng has always thought.

In recent years, the population of the Qin Empire has been growing explosively, and the most important of this is land reform. However, such a population increase is still far from enough in Ying Zheng's opinion.

When crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes are introduced and swept across the Qin Dynasty, it will completely stimulate the increase in the population. Ying Zheng is extremely looking forward to this.

Ying Zheng has read the demographic statistics. During the land reform, the Qin Empire conducted a large population census, and had a rough understanding of the population of the entire empire.

The total population of Daqin now reaches 40 million.

However, nearly 10 million of them are young children, which is the result of the influence of population policies over the years. Historically, the peak population of the Warring States Period was only 35 million, and at the end of the Qin Dynasty, it was only about 30 million.

This ten million is the new foundation of the Qin Empire.

But Ying Zheng knew in his heart that this number was still not enough. If he was content with himself and only wanted to live in the Central Plains and develop and change suddenly, this number would be OK.

However, Ying Zheng was so ambitious that he wanted to establish an unprecedented empire. He wanted to make only the Qin in the whole world and only the Qin people in the whole world.

Therefore, forty million people are not enough.

In Ying Zheng's plan, at least hundreds of millions of people must be required to ensure the continuous expansion of the Qin Empire.

Of course, the population is increasing bit by bit, and the territory is also occupied piece by piece. For Ying Zheng, there is still time.

The timeline was before the southern expedition, which meant that he was still several years away from his original deadline. What's more, now he is healthy and looks even more rejuvenated. Even if he can't live forever, it's no longer a problem to live for thirty or forty years.

This means that he has at least 40 or 50 years left to witness the development and changes of the Qin Dynasty.

"My minister Cai Chong, Cai Jiu pays homage to Your Majesty, Your Majesty for ten thousand years, and the Qin Dynasty for ten thousand years!" Just as Ying Zheng's thoughts were fluctuating, Cai Chong and Cai Jiu walked into Zhangtai Palace, bowed to Ying Zheng, and said.

When his thoughts were interrupted, Ying Zheng turned around, looked at Cai Chong and Cai Jiu and nodded, and said, "You two beloved ministers don't have to be too polite, take your seat by yourself."

"I thank Your Majesty."

Seeing Cai Chong and Cai Jiu take their seats, Ying Zheng chuckled and said, "All the philosophers and hundreds of schools of thought have entered Qin, and all your Jiran family have entered Qin. This is a good thing for the empire and Jiran family."

“How is the implementation of the Department of Industry and Commerce?”

"Report to Your Majesty, the Administration for Industry and Commerce has fully implemented it, and the construction of the Office for the candidates and knowledge of officials has been completed. It is constantly integrating and standardizing merchants within the empire." Cai Chong hurriedly bowed to Ying Zheng and reported the situation one by one.

He naturally knew that Ying Zheng attached great importance to this matter. After all, for the sake of merchants, Ying Zheng ignored the ancestral system and revised the gold cloth law and further relaxed the restrictions on merchants.

This is a good thing for the empire and for the merchants themselves.
