"I have many soldiers and horses in Jin Dynasty...?" Emperor Min Zizhang of Jin said softly weakly, as if it was a candle about to burn.

Qiu Yixiao closed his eyes and said softly, "Your Majesty, there are still 10,000 cavalry in the Great Wall of the North, 20,000 infantry in Huangshi, and only thousands of remaining soldiers left in the remaining troops. Our country is less than 10,000 young and strong, and all the people are lonely and widowed."

"In twenty years, it will take at least twenty years for us to restore the previous 30% of our national strength and all of them will be restored. Your Majesty, our Grand Jin can no longer afford a war of more than 10,000 people. From then on, our Grand Jin has become a first-class empire and a third-rate..."

"Cough cough!" Before he finished hearing this, Emperor Min Ziqi suddenly coughed suddenly and coughed up several mouthfuls of blood. Qiu Yixiao quickly opened his eyes. When he saw Emperor Min Ziqi coughing out blood, he immediately took out a white cloth to wipe the mouth of Emperor Min Ziqi.

"There is no soldiers, no generals, it is my fault, cough cough... or is it that God is going to destroy my great Jin.... cough cough!" Emperor Jin Min Zizhen's face turned paler and his aura became weaker and weaker.

"What's the difference now? The most important thing now is to sign a ceasefire agreement with the Qin Empire. I heard that the Qin Empire recruited 300,000 troops in Hebei, Hedong, Huainan and Nanyang. This does not rule out that the Qin Empire will retaliate against us!" Qiu Yixiao said worriedly.

"Three hundred thousand..." Emperor Jin Min Zizhang's eyes flashed with hatred, "I am wrong and regret not to treat the Qin people preferentially. If I arrested the Qin people as a military force to fight against Qin when I was recruiting troops, why would my great Jin fall into this level? I hate it, shouldn't it be back then? Cough cough! Cough cough!"

Emperor Min Zizhan was furious and coughed up blood stasis again, making his complexion even weaker, so weak that Emperor Min Zizhan felt difficult to open his eyes.

Qiu Yixiao quickly wiped the blood off the body of Emperor Jin Min Zixiao, but did not refute Emperor Jin Min Zixiao. This was not speechless, but dared not refute. He was like this. If he didn't let him scold him a few times, he might be angry to death.

"By the way, in the Battle of Yangguan, the Qin Empire captured me 30,000 prisoners of war. In the Battle of Qin and Jin, the Qin Empire captured me 200,000 prisoners of war, and many officials and prime ministers immediately sent people to the Qin Empire to discuss the ceasefire and tell the Qin Empire that the Jin Empire was willing to ceasefire and returned household registration to the four counties, but more than 200,000 prisoners of war must be returned to Dajin for a large number, otherwise you will not have to think about household registration!"

Emperor Min Zizhan suddenly remembered that there were more than 200,000 prisoners of war in the Qin Empire in the Great Jin Dynasty. If more than 200,000 prisoners of war could be brought back, the Great Jin Empire would be able to restore its troops in a short period of time. Even if there was no conditions to counterattack Yan and Zhao, it would be enough to protect itself.

When he thought of this, Emperor Min Zizhai suddenly felt his spirit, as if he was looking back!

Qiu Yixiao frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Household registration is a magical weapon to rule the people, and Dajin holds the artifact of the four counties in his hand. The Qin Empire either retrieved the household registration from the Jin Empire or sent officials to formulate household registration again. The former is simple and the latter is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The Qin Empire will definitely choose the former.

This is the bargaining chip in the hands of the Jin Empire, while the bargaining chip in the Qin Empire is more than 200,000 prisoners of war.

It is not impossible to use for exchanges, both of them win-win!

"I am willing to go to Xianyang for negotiations in person!"

Qiu Yixiao decided to take action personally to ensure that the matter was foolproof.

"Okay, then I'll have to do the Prime Minister!" Emperor Jin Min Zizhang nodded, and he also thought that Qiu Yixiao was more secure in his own operation.

After a while, Qiu Yixiao left the palace and returned to the mansion to pack up his bags. He then took a hundred guards to horses and left Jinling and headed all the way west.

The first day of the first lunar month of the tenth year of the Holy Qin Dynasty.

The imperial examinations were almost two-thirds and could end in almost a month!

After several months, the 300,000 young and strong men recruited by the four counties of Hebei, Hedong, Huainan and Nanyang were all delivered to Xianyang. As soon as the soldiers arrived, they were immediately divided by Du Changjing, Bai Qi and Luo Xing. The Ordnance Department was also very powerful. Before the soldiers arrived in Xianyang City, they successfully renovated the captured Jin army armor and weapons, but they did not renovate them all, and only 300,000 sets were renovated, just enough for the 300,000 troops.

The new recruits arrived and armored. The capital was Changjing, and Luo Xing and the others did not stay for a long time. The former transferred one million stones of grain from the Ministry of Revenue to lead troops to the Great Wall on the border of Hebei, while the latter transferred five hundred thousand stones of grain from the Ministry of Revenue to lead troops to Wujin.

Bai Qi also transferred 500,000 shi of grain from the Ministry of Revenue, 250,000 shi each from Yangguan and the capital camp. In addition, Yang Long and Yang Hu took away 800,000 shi of grain before, and immediately took away 2.8 million shi of grain from the treasury, leaving only 700,000 shi of grain left in the treasury.

Fortunately, Shangyang County, Guangfeng County, and Hexi County all delivered the taxes from the 9th year of the Shengqin to the Ministry of Revenue, and the Nanguan area also sent the tariffs for nearly a few months to the Ministry of Revenue. After calculation by the Ministry of Revenue, the total grain tax of the three counties was 1 million stone, the commercial tax was 380,000 taels of silver, the salt tax was 400,000 taels of silver, and the customs tax was 100,000 taels of silver!

Compared with the eighth year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, the grain tax fell by 600,000 shi in the ninth year of the Holy Qin Dynasty. However, the commercial tax and salt tax did not fluctuate much, and there was more tariff input. The war affected the output. This was the result. Fortunately, the war between Qin and Jin Dynasties did not last long, and only affected Shangyang County. If it affected Guangfeng and Hexi, the grain tax would have to drop by more than half.

Since the four counties in Hebei, Hedong, Huainan and Nanyang had just been recaptured, their household registration was not obtained, and the government was in a static state, the court did not collect taxes from the four counties.

There are always going to go, and the court distributed military pay to the 100,000 Yang family army, which cost a total of 500,000 taels of silver. In addition to the military pay, there are also salaries of the court officials and officials from various places, etc., which cost 800,000 taels of silver, which exceeds the total of the three taxes of grain, salt tax and tariffs for the court for one year!

The treasury currently has 1.7 million stones of grain, 24.7 million taels of silver and 50,000 taels of gold. It has to be said that some officials from the Ministry of Revenue have already gone to the four counties and the Qi Empire to buy grain, and the budget for buying grain is 5 million taels. I believe that when these officials return to Xianyang, the treasury will be filled with food.

February 15th, the tenth year of the Holy Qin Dynasty!

On this day, the imperial examination was announced to end. The Qin Dynasty court first arranged a small number of scholars who were listed above to supplement the six departments. The rest of scholars were transferred to the four counties as officials. Chang Zifei fully implemented the strategy of supporting poor families and suppressing aristocratic families, so that poor families could go to some important areas to serve as officials.

As a large number of officials settled in the four counties and local governments, the troops stationed in various places also returned to Nanguan one after another, causing the troops stationed in Nanguan to increase greatly. Of course, this is a later story.

The Great Qin Empire, Xianyang City, Imperial Palace, Qilin Palace!
