The fifty-ninth chapter of vertical and horizontal
The expansion of Daqin this time doubled the territory and doubled the people. The territory expanded this time was all wealthy areas. It was just because of the lack of unified planning and the disturbance of the fake robbers of Daqin. Many countries' economies were even in a state of embarrassment. All countries were forcing farmers to grow food, while the major countries were forcibly requiring their medium-sized countries to provide food.
After the Qin Dynasty took over the territories of those countries, it naturally re-planned all territories and formed a local agricultural reclamation army to build farmland fields and open up wastelands completely. As a wealthy area, there was not much wasteland, but clearing up wastelands belonged to individual actions, and farming was also individual actions. Therefore, there was a lack of unified planning, and many fields were in a state of water shortage.
After the unified planning and construction of Daqin, the area and yield per mu of fertile land will increase, and the materials in the territory can flow smoothly, and the characteristic economies of various places can be fully utilized. Many areas that are not suitable for growing grain can fully develop industries suitable for themselves, without worrying about insufficient food supply, which greatly improves the economic benefits of various territories.
After being included in the Qin Dynasty, the economy of various places immediately changed drastically, and the price of food was controlled. The number of newly recruited troops exceeded 30 million. After raising the recruitment standards for troops, the troops were greatly reduced. Although the Qin Dynasty had the most powerful military power, the proportion of military expenditures used by the state was still lower than that of the original countries.
The most important thing is that after the army was reduced, a large amount of labor was liberated, which was an important foundation for the development of the economy. After Daqin took over the territory, Wang's father quickly activated the state machine of Daqin, the implementation of the new policy, the appointment of administrative officials, the mobilization of grain and other materials, the registration of population and resources in various places, unified planning and the formulation and implementation of agricultural reclamation plans.
Wang's father was very busy. Although he had trained a large number of administrative officials, the newly expanded territory was too vast and the number of new residents was huge. Although Wang's father had let all institutions operate with all their strength, it took nearly half a year to completely complete the construction of administrative agencies in various places and implement the new policies.
The state institutions of the Qin Dynasty were very different from those of the original countries. The original countries implemented administrative autonomy based on each county and city, so they lacked a unified plan. The city lords were all in their own affairs and only needed to pay fixed money to the country every year and send certain soldiers to the military. The city lords were trying hard to make money, and the taxes in each city were also different.
The Qin Dynasty was managed in a unified manner, and the country implemented unified taxes, which was significantly lower than before. The city lords of various countries were recruited and could become officials of the Qin Dynasty, but they could not increase and taxes were drawn. They were no longer local officials of the Qin Dynasty. If they unified the implementation of the Qin Dynasty's policies, their power and income naturally could not be compared with the original ones.
Of course, most of the original city lords were generals. After the Qin Dynasty was incorporated, most of the city lords were adapted into the army, while most of the local administrative personnel were civilian officials. Although the rights and income of the original king and city lord were affected, the living standards of residents were significantly improved, and the satisfaction of the people was greatly improved, which naturally contributed a lot of the Divine Emperor's Skills energy to Xu Sancai.
The Qin and the coalition forces were in a state of confrontation on the border of the Great Chu, and Xu Sancai was not in a hurry to continue to expand. On the one hand, he needed to build a newly expanded territory, and on the other hand, he also needed to reorganize and train troops. Nowadays, most of the troops of the Qin Dynasty were directly incorporated from the original countries, and there was naturally no cooperation between them. The training level was huge, which greatly affected the combat effectiveness.
The Qin Dynasty and the coalition forces were in a confrontation, and the military training naturally became a top priority, including the military knowledge training of those generals. The task of the military training camp was arduous and arduous. Xu Sancai personally compiled the military training materials and regularly presided over the general's military knowledge training. He also needed to be responsible for diplomacy with the temple. This is an important guarantee for the current security of the Qin Dynasty.
It is naturally impossible for Xu Sancai to cede the country's sovereignty and interests. In his diplomacy with the Eight Great Temples, he mainly dragged it to buy time for the development of the Great Qin. The Eight Great Temples are now in a crisis about the rapid rise of the Great Qin. The Great Qin has completely controlled the regime in his own hands, and the loyalty of the people has greatly increased, which has greatly weakened the influence of the Eight Great Temples.
The eight temples were also very contradictory at this time. One is that the Qin Dynasty has a vast territory and a large number of people, and its influence among the people is increasing. If it turns against the Qin Dynasty now, the branches within the Qin Dynasty will naturally be expelled. Even if the Qin Dynasty is finally eradicated, it will inevitably make the Qin people dissatisfied with the temple, which will seriously affect the influence of the temple.
However, if the Great Qin is allowed to develop, the influence of the temple will gradually be weakened, and the temple will eventually lose a lot of faith power. However, if the temple turns against the Great Qin now, it will lose many branches in front of it, which will inevitably lead to a sharp reduction in the power of faith. No matter what, the power of faith will be greatly reduced now, and it will inevitably be severely punished by the gods.
Therefore, the senior management of the Eight Great Temples could not reach a unified opinion for the time being, but only contacted the Eastern Family and the Great Qin to fight for the best conditions for the Temple. The Eight Great Temples also had a competitive relationship. You should know that there is only one god that believers believe in, and the Eight Great Temples all need to collect the power of faith, which inevitably leads to rob believers.
The eight temples are harmonious on the surface, and they will unite to the outside world when fighting for interests. However, due to their respective interests, they also have their own small abacus. They are also organized on the surface in negotiations with the Daqin and the Eastern Family, but they have secret connections in private to fight for the best conditions for each.
This gave Xu Sancai room to deal with, and he secretly provoked conflicts between the eight temples, making the competition among the eight temples gradually highlighted. If he wanted to revitalize the Elemental Dharma Hall, he would sooner or later have a conflict with the eight temples. Now, the strength of the temple can be weakened and the time for development for the Qin Dynasty can be obtained. Of course, he would not give any effort.
The Dongfang family is also stepping up negotiations with the temple, but because Xu Sancai kept throwing out new conditions, he also provoked conflicts among the eight temples. The Dongfang family could not casually release secular power, and the eight temples had never reached an agreement with the Dongfang family. However, the eight temples no longer restricted the Dongfang family from intervening in the war. Whether they could turn against each other and curb the Qin Dynasty, or even eliminate the Qin Dynasty, was the result that the temple was most willing to see.
After two years of repeated negotiations, the Golden Spirit Temple and the Sun Temple among the eight temples finally agreed to cooperate fully with the Dongfang family and prohibited the mages under his command from helping the Qin Dynasty. Only the two temples faced the Qin Dynasty and Xu Sancai were not worried. He even hoped that such a situation would occur, so he immediately ordered the sealing of all branches of the two temples within the Qin Dynasty.
The two temples have hundreds of branches in the territory of the Qin Dynasty. All of these branches were closed by the Qin Dynasty, and the mages of the two temples were also expelled from the country, which immediately caused the two temples to lose a lot of faith power. The Eastern Family had not reached a final agreement with the other six temples, so it was not possible to launch a war against the Qin Dynasty immediately.
The two temples lost nearly one-eighth of their faith power, which was an unbearable loss for the temple. The two temples had to ask Daqin to re-enter. However, in order to instigate the conflict between the temples, Xu Sancai allocated some branches of the two temples to the other four temples under certain conditions. Therefore, even if the two temples wanted to return, they would have no place to live.
The two temples paid a huge price to return to the Qin Dynasty, but the original branch halls were divided by other temples, and the four branches were unwilling to be returned for nothing, which made the two temples unable to quickly reopen the branch hall. Naturally, the specifications of the branch halls could not be reduced at will, otherwise it would have an adverse impact on the reputation of the temple. If it was rebuilt, it would not be possible to complete in a short period of time.
The two temples negotiated with the four temples respectively, but in the end they only took back less than one-third of the temples. The two temples not only reduced a lot of faith power for this decision, but also extorted a large amount of money and property by the Great Qin and the Four Temples, but in the end they lost most of the temples and believers in the Great Qin territory.
As a result, other temples were even more unwilling to turn against the Qin Dynasty. Moreover, after this incident, the conflicts between the eight temples became increasingly acute, and it was naturally more difficult for the Eastern Family to completely unite the eight temples. Xu Sancai's separate treatment of the eight temples further intensified the contradictions between the temples.
Among them, the Thunder Temple, the Temple of Time, the Temple of Wisdom, the Temple of Mountains, the Temple of Sea and the Temple of Life are not far or near. Although the Temple of Golden Spirit and the Temple of Sun were able to return to the Great Qin after paying a huge price, there have always been gaps in their relationship with the Great Qin.
Of course, Xu Sancai did this on purpose, but he did not completely turn against any temple, so as not to completely join forces with the Dongfang family in anger. Even the four temples that are closely related to the Qin Dynasty will only have the Dharma King involved in the war of the Qin Dynasty. However, if the temple and the Dongfang family join forces, the Dharma Emperor will be sent to the war, and it is not impossible for the Dharma Saint to appear.
The Dongfang family was unable to win over all the Eighth Palaces, so they naturally did not dare to officially launch a war against the Qin Dynasty. However, the Dongfang family did not hesitate to invest this time and sent thousands of family members to join the coalition forces, responsible for the training and command of the coalition forces, and recruited tens of thousands of elite troops from the three major countries and trained them into the outer elite legion of the Dongfang family.
At the same time, the Dongfang family also took out a lot of money and asked the Assassin's Guild to assassinate the officials of the Qin Dynasty. Since Xu Sancai has been living in seclusion and usually appears in different ways, no force has his detailed information so far, and even his true appearance cannot be confirmed. Therefore, the target of the assassination was changed to the main administrative officials of the Qin Dynasty such as Wang Fu.
