After sorting out the affairs of Zhao Di, there are almost no major events. They are all messy matters, which can be dealt with by many county guards. Side wars can also be left to the army stationed in Zhao Di.
Immediately, the conversation changed and it fell to the west of Da Qin, looking at Changping Lord Xiong Qi.
The two counties in Hexi have been developed for about a year. Although there are no barbarian intrusions around, but... there are only tens of thousands of people in the land of more than a thousand miles, and including the foreign races, the number is only about 100,000, which is too little.
Including the 20,000 people who were moved from Zhao State, plus Longxi, the number of households that were moved within the Pass was only a little over 100,000. It was west of the river, and people from many counties and counties in the Pass were unwilling to go there.
The King of Qin had no choice in this matter. The documents sent by Feng Quji were all about the Chidao, cities and jurisdiction of the two counties in Hexi. The details were not clear at that time.
"The two counties in Hexi, Wuwei County and Zhangye County have now been reorganized."
"A total of 50,000 troops were left in the two counties of Longxi and the Jiuyuan camp. According to the layout of counties in Daqin, a pavilion was set up every ten miles, a small county was set up at fifty miles, and a large county was set up at a hundred miles. All of them have been decentralized."
"There are currently a total of 42,000 households in the two counties, with tens of thousands of residents, many of whom are military households. According to the farming methods left by Marquis Wu Zhen, they gradually flourished. Ten years later, with the addition of relocated civilians,
The two counties can have more than 300,000 people!"
Xiong Qi, Lord of Changping, bowed down. As the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, he naturally knew the situation of the major counties and counties in the Qin Dynasty. The two counties in Hexi had few things to do and were easier to manage.
Ten years later, there were 300,000 people in the two counties, which seemed like a lot, but in fact, compared to the two counties, which were more than 1,000 miles apart, it was far from enough.
For example, the two counties of Longxi are only more than a thousand miles away, similar to the two counties of Hexi, but their population exceeds 800,000 to 900,000 people. Unfortunately... the two counties of Hexi are far away from the core of Zhuxia after all.
Unless they have no choice, it is difficult for the people of the Xia to thrive there.
"Well, so... Da Qin spent so much military and financial resources and gained... very little?"
Qin Wangzheng smiled slightly. In the past, his ancestor Mu Gong dominated Xirong. Why didn't he continue to expand? One reason was that the front was too long, and the other was to expand westward. The gains were too little, and the gains were not worth the losses.
Instead of expanding to the west, it is better to move eastward. Therefore, Duke Mu moved eastward and became the overlord!
After that, in the Xianyang Palace, the civil and military people also looked at Lord Changping with interest. Everyone had heard about the two counties in Hexi newly developed by the Qin Dynasty. They were barbarian countries west of the river.
Everyone is very unfamiliar with those people. Compared with them, the Huns in the north are more familiar with them. Now they hear what Changping Jun said about the two counties in Hexi, and they understand something clearly.
Indeed, if there are only a few hundred thousand people in a place that is more than a thousand miles away, it will not develop no matter how hard it is developed. The foundation is too poor. Now among the big and powerful countries in Xia, which one does not have millions of people and which one does not have thousands of miles?
country.
"Not so."
"Although the two counties in Hexi are far away from the prosperity of Zhuxia, when they were previously occupied by the Yuezhi Kingdom, they had a population of 500,000 people and nearly 200,000 people who controlled the strings. There were many oases and plains, and rivers crisscrossed them, where grains were grown.
Now, according to what Feng Quji said, it will not be difficult to achieve long-term development and accommodate millions of people."
"Moreover, the two counties in Hexi can reach the Xiongnu in the north. During the Qin Dynasty, the Xiongnu was a disaster. The two counties in Hexi can be a passage. To the south is the country of Wusun, and to the west are the small countries in the Western Regions. Each country is not big, and each has its own uniqueness."
"It can be used for business travel and all kinds of businesses. In recent years, the tax revenue of the two counties in Hexi has reached 200,000 yuan. From now on, there will only be more. All kinds of rare things from the Western Regions can also be brought to Zhuxia and exchanged."
Lord Changping shook his head. The two counties in Hexi are naturally valuable, but compared to South Korea, Zhao State is much inferior. Sure enough, the two counties in Hexi have been reproduced for three generations. It's really hard to tell.
There are many rare things from the Western Regions there, business travelers are rampant, and taxes are worry-free!
There are many oases. With the cultivation of grains, Guanzhong does not need to be supported. It can also be centered on it and continue to expand. In the future, it can even continue to be developed into three or four counties in Hexi...more.
Under the farm, there is also a strong suppression of the Hu people in the north!
Yes, the value of the two counties in Hexi is not obvious at the moment, but they will be very important in the long term!
As for today, when the king asked about this matter, it was obvious that he did not mean this. Marquis Wu Zhen quelled the rebellion in Longxi, killed 200,000 barbarians, and expanded the territory for more than a thousand miles. This was a great achievement and needs to be explained clearly.
"What did Marquis Wu Zhen think when he personally opened up Hexi?"
Qin Wangzheng slowly stood up from the bronze throne. He naturally weighed whether the two counties in Hexi were important. He nodded to Lord Changping and turned his attention to the king's younger brother.
"To the west of the river, there are many countries. For the current Qin Dynasty, it may not be important. However, if the Qin Dynasty is a world later, it will be completely different."
"In the past three generations, many Di Rong soldiers from all directions have raided the Xia Dynasty, and the barbarians in the west are the most numerous. King Ping of the Great Zhou Dynasty moved eastward, and this is the case. The opening of the two counties in Hexi will eliminate these hidden dangers."
"Secondly, there are many nomadic people to the west of the river, and many of them are strong and powerful horses, many of which are valuable. For example, the famous horses of Dawan in the Western Region are quite rare. Sure enough, after passing through the west of the river, the cavalry in the army will be more powerful in the future."
"Furthermore, with the two counties in Hexi as the vanguard, they gradually encroached on the Western countries and the Western Regions. The Qin Dynasty spread all the splendor of Xia to Di Rong, weakened it, made it naturalized, allowed merchants to travel, and collected millions in taxes.
Millions of profits!"
"If this is the case, the barbarians in the north can be wiped out without the need for fighting!"
The importance of the land west of Hexi and the Western Regions to Zhou Qing was enough to demonstrate its importance over the years.
Those who are not from our tribe must have different hearts. This sentence is not just a saying, it is a collision of different civilizations. If one side cannot overwhelm the other, then it will be the beginning of a war.
After hearing what the leader said, Zhou Qing stepped out of the queue, cupped his hands and spoke.
But... to many civil and military ministers in Xianyang Palace, perhaps they just saw themselves leading troops to attack and destroy 200,000 Jun, and expand the territory for more than a thousand miles.
"If you plan to attack with troops, if you don't use the force of war, you can gradually eliminate the surrounding barbarians, which is naturally the best."
"Since the destruction of Zhao last year, the Empress Dowager Huayang passed away, internal troubles continued in Xianyang City, the generals destroyed Zhao, and Marquis Wuzhen quelled the chaos in Longxi. It was not because of the mercy of Haotian that Qin wanted to calm everything down, but he did not know how long it would take.
"
"I will do my best to work with you to stabilize the Qin Dynasty, and the general trend of the world will be great. Now that we have succeeded in destroying Zhao, and the Qin Dynasty is stable, we should confer titles to the ministers who have made great contributions as a reward."
"What's going on?"
Qin Wangzheng put his hands behind his back and walked up slowly. Since last year, too many things have happened in Da Qin.
The death of the Empress Dowager Huayang!
Rumors of an earthquake in Longxi!
The general’s fighter plane to destroy Zhao is hard to find!
The net is not good at doing things!
There were constant disputes in the harem, and Mrs. Min and Mrs. Chu were deeply involved in it, and died immediately!
Even Li'er and her unborn baby are in danger!
Hundreds of schools of thought are causing chaos in Longxi!
The Huns from Hexi and the Yuezhi Kingdom invaded with 200,000 soldiers!
…
There were many big and small things, but... now everything has passed, and the civil and military personnel of Qin Ting Temple made it through. King Qin Zheng was filled with emotion, he kept talking loudly, and looked to the side.
Immediately, a gray-haired Wang Cheng came up the stairs, holding a roll of black cloth documents. He was wearing a solemn brocade robe and had his hair tied up. Although his position was not high, he was a direct descendant of the royal family.
"King!"
He walked up to the high platform and bowed his hands.
"Xuan!"
The King of Qin's government came to an end.
"Here!"
Wang Cheng gave Shi Zhong another courtesy.
Immediately, Nuo Da's Xianyang Palace returned to silence again.
"Brilliant Haotian, bless my great Qin!"
"Since the Spring and Autumn Period, wars have been going on continuously, and the Warring States period is bound to come to an end. The Qin Dynasty comes out of Shandong, and the general trend of the world is the way of heaven, and even more humane. It takes less than two years to destroy Zhao, and it will be a great success, which can win the hearts of all Xia."
"The Great Qin Dynasty established its inheritance by law, and those who have meritorious service must be rewarded. Today, the ministers who have made meritorious deeds are given the following titles!"
Wang Chenggui's voice was deep and loud, he was old but full of energy, and the lingering sound spread throughout Xianyang Palace and inside, echoing in the ears of everyone present.
"Wuzhenhou Xuanqingzi!"
Wang Cheng said something to Shizhong, and his eyes unconsciously fell to his head.
"exist!"
Zhou Qing took a small step closer again and bowed his hands.
"For his outstanding achievements in this battle, he was promoted to the Marquis of Che. He was still the prime minister, participated in political affairs, and also held the position of general. He was granted the title of Qianzhong County, Ba County, Shu County, and Nan County. He was given the general administration of the four counties, and he was in charge of the military and political affairs of the four counties.
