"It has been a month since the issuance of national policies. I wonder if it has been effective?" Ying Chang asked with a smile.

When Chang Zifei heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Your Majesty, the three counties have not yet been able to send back the news, but our Xianyang City has already developed 10,000 acres of fertile land and has been watered and irrigated, and is ready to start plowing in the end of April!"

"Not bad!" Ying Chang nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Yang Ze, who quickly bowed his head and bowed, and only heard Ying Chang ask, "How many blacksmiths are there in the Ordnance Department now?"

"Report to Your Majesty, in one month, I have only summoned 200 blacksmiths from Shangyang County. Hexi and Nanfeng are still convening. It will take about a month for the blacksmiths of the two counties to enter the Ordnance Division. With this, the number of blacksmiths in the Ordnance Division is more than 370 people, and the speed has doubled. Now, three batches of heavy armor can be created in ten days!" Yang Ze replied with a respectful expression.

"Where is the armor of the war horse?" Ying Chang asked immediately.

"Uh... hasn't been created yet..." Yang Ze couldn't help but lower his head.

"Divid some manpower to do it. The war horses do not have armor, so they are still called heavy cavalry?" Ying Chang said helplessly.

I told Yang Ze last time that the armor of the war horse cannot be left behind, but it has not been built yet, so I really don’t know what to say.

"It's my dereliction of duty, so please forgive me!" Yang Zeshen replied.

"Just knowing that you are wrong, you can go back first, and get a handicap immediately and do what I said!" Ying Chang said expressionlessly.

"Abide by the order!" Yang Ze nodded and responded, and immediately turned around and left the imperial study room.

After Yang Ze left, Ying Chang moved his butt back and leaned on the dragon throne to make himself feel more comfortable. Then he asked Chang Zifei: "Is there any movement in the Jin Empire now?"

"Not yet!"

When talking about the Jin Empire, Chang Zifei couldn't help but frown, his expression was slightly solemn.

Everything in the Qin Empire is now moving in a good direction, but it is easily restrained by external reasons. Once the Qin and Jin war begin, a large amount of manpower and financial resources will be consumed. If a soldier is killed, the court will pay pensions. In addition to paying pensions, it will also recruit young and strong men to supplement their troops. The people will also have to lose one young and strong men, and the less young and strong men will reduce one labor force. Insufficient labor will involve the development of farming and land reclamation.

As the saying goes, one moves the whole body!

War is about national strength. No matter how winning or losing, it will lose more or less.

"If Qin and Jin started a war, how likely would we win?" Ying Chang looked at Chang Zifei with a gaze as if he was.

Chang Zifei fell silent and fell into deep thought. After thinking for a few breaths, Chang Zifei spoke with a solemn look: "If it is a war of attrition, I will definitely be defeated by the Qin Dynasty. Although the Jin Empire lost more than 200,000 elite troops seven years ago, its foundation is still stronger than ours and the national treasury is rich!"

"And our Great Qin has just started, and our national strength is in a stage of explosion, and its foundation cannot be compared with the Jin Empire. If we can develop for two or three years, our Great Qin will be able to win 50% against the Jin Empire!"

Chang Zifei's answer was very pertinent and he did not have blind confidence.

"What if it's an annihilation war?" Ying Chang asked again.

"Annihilation war?" Chang Zifei fell into deep thought again. After a while, Chang Zifei smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, it is difficult for us to win the annihilation war. After all, our Qin army has limited military strength, and over the years, our Qin army's combat effectiveness has continued to decline. Unless we transfer 100,000 Yang family troops in Xiguan back, we have a chance to win. However, if we withdraw, the Qiang tribe will not give up this great opportunity!"

"It is difficult to fight. If the Jin Empire really sends troops to attack Qin, we will fight an annihilation battle, destroy them in one breath, and then regain the lost land!" Ying Chang shouted with a strong and powerful voice.

"Now our Qin Dynasty has the only way to choose..." Chang Zifei said helplessly.

"I won't talk about this for now. Why haven't Jaro come back yet? It's been five months since he went out? Nothing will happen, right?" Ying Chang changed the topic, with a hint of worry on his face. There was no news yet for five months, which is very worrying.

Chang Zifei shook his head disapprovingly and said, "This is unlikely. If something happens to Lord Jia, the left and right generals will definitely send someone to send news. Maybe Lord Jia has already brought the horse trinket back..."

"Report!"

At this moment, a loud voice came from outside the imperial study room, interrupting Chang Zifei's words.

Chang Zifei turned around subconsciously and looked out. Ying Chang also looked out of the hall. He saw Li Ming, deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, standing outside the door with excitement on his face. There was a familiar person standing next to him, Jaro.

"Oh my goodness!"

Chang Zifei and Ying Chang were both shocked. They mentioned Jaro just now, and Jaro appeared at the door. Chang Zifei's mouth is a little smart...

"Cao Cao is not that fast, right?" Ying Chang said in a sarcastic and slander.

"Come in quickly!" Ying Chang waved impatiently.

Upon hearing this, Jaro immediately walked into the imperial study room, and the deputy commander Li Ming bowed and said he was leaving.

"I said, Lord Jia, when did you come back? Why didn't you inform me in advance?" Chang Zifei said to Jaro, who was smiling in surprise.

"Haha!" Jaro couldn't help but chuckled, then saluted Ying Chang, and said with a smile: "Isn't this trying to surprise His Majesty, haha!"

"It's a surprise, it's really a surprise, but whether I can report it next time will really worry me for a while!" Ying Chang said angrily.

"Thank you for your concern for me, I am very grateful!" Jaro replied with some emotion in his heart.

"Looking at you, you look like you are returning home with a full load! Haha!" Ying Chang smiled at Jaro with a smile.

"That's natural!" Jaro was a little arrogant, and Chang Zifei couldn't stand it anymore.

"You two sit first, don't just stand!" Ying Chang pointed to the chair next to him. Chang Zifei and Jaro were not polite, and each sat in their own seats.

After Jaro sat firmly, he brought Ying Changzuo to the editor: "Your Majesty, is this time going to the Kama tribe on the Prairs? I brought 6,000 high-quality war horses back. Each high-quality war horse was traded for fifty taels of silver, which cost a total of 300,000 taels of silver. The Kama tribe also gave six sweat-blooded BMWs, which could travel thousands of miles a day!"

"Each horse is fifty taels? Is there a six sweat-blooded BMW?" Chang Zifei suddenly became a little strange. What was strange was not expensive, but cheap.
