Chapter 715 Recovery

"Go back, I won't sign these two credentials!" Jin Yao sighed and shook his head.

After all, Queen Jun is just a queen, not the King of Qi. She can do many things, but there are many things she cannot do after all.

"As expected!" Qi Shi sighed.

Since Jin Yao said that he shot the King of Qin with his bow and the King of Qin did not dodge, he knew that the two letters of credence had no meaning whether it was a conspiracy or a scheming to alienate him.

"However, I can promise that if Qin Qi sends troops to Qi in the future, as long as Qi is willing to surrender, Qin will not start a war and retain the Qi clan lineage!" Jin Yao promised, looking at the faltering envoy of Qi.

Qi Shi trembled, turned his head and saluted Jin Yao, then turned and left.

"Your Majesty, all the envoys have committed suicide by drowning themselves in the river!"

However, not long after the Qi envoy left, Long Wei hurriedly reported back.

Jin Yao also fell silent. He counted the time and found that the Qi envoy had just left and turned to Peng Ze.

"Give him a grand burial!" Jin Yao sighed deeply.

"Everyone, please encourage us, a weak country has no diplomacy!" Jin Yao said seriously as he looked at the ministers and generals.

The State of Qi was originally a great eastern country that kept pace with the State of Qin. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, it had always been the top group among the Six Kingdoms of Shandong. However, it has now fallen to this point.

After all, it’s all about weapons!

Without the protection of force, but with coveted wealth, that is a sin!

“Let’s encourage you together!”

Jin Yao didn't say any more. Today's Dragon City has occupied a large area south of the Yangtze River, and he has killed all the local gentry and nobles. What needs to be done now is to supplement the officials!

But even today's Qin State cannot afford so many officials to appoint and remove, resulting in official vacancies everywhere.

The Qin State had no choice but to use Li Si's suggestion and use officials as teachers. But among a group of military officials, how many of them could govern the place?

Short-term military control will not be a problem, but it is not a long-term solution!

In particular, the death of Qin Gui Guo II was not only caused by Hu Hai, but also due to various problems. Ying Zheng was able to suppress all these with his personal charm, but it does not mean that these problems did not exist.

The first is the issue of the appointment and removal of officials. If the Qin State could solve the appointment and removal of officials and replace the existence of local nobles with Qin officials, then there would be no uprisings and rebellions in various places just because of those who rebelled and raised the flag of righteousness.

Therefore, Jin Yao must find a solution before Qin is unified, otherwise history will happen again, and that is not what he wants to see.

Throughout the Chu-Han War, the population of China dropped sharply, which was simply terrifying.

When the First Emperor unified China, the population of China was about 30 million, but by the early Han Dynasty, the population was only about 15 million.

It can be seen what kind of disaster the Chu-Han War brought to China, especially during the time of the First Emperor. The Qin State was able to suppress the Xiongnu in fighting, so that the Hu people did not dare to go south to herd horses, and did not dare to bend their bows and complain.

But when he arrived at Liu Bang, he was surrounded by Bai Deng, and he had to rely on marriage in exchange for short-term peace.

Ultimately, the root cause is insufficient population!

"Resume production!" Jin Yao looked at Chen Xian who had returned and held another meeting of Dragon City's top executives.

The entire Dragon City will not have any more wars with the Chu State in a short period of time. The Chu State cannot afford it. Dragon City will also abolish most of the Dragon Guards and return them to the fields to ensure production.

"Here!" Chen Xian and Wu Rui also knew very well that after years of fighting, Longcheng needed time to lick its wounds.

If the Qin State launches troops against the Chu State within three years, Longcheng will only be able to stand aside and be unable to provide any help.

"What did the farmer say?" Jin Yao looked at Chen Xian and asked.

Very early on, he asked Wu Rui and Chen Xian to go to farmers' houses to invite farmers and scholars to join Longcheng to help Longcheng resume production.

But until now, no scholar from the peasant family has been seen entering Longcheng.

"Your Majesty also knows that until the war is over, the peasant disciples will not dare to step into the war-torn areas easily." Chen Xian said in a low voice.

Jin Yao nodded, the common people knew how to avoid war, let alone these scholars.

"Go and invite me again!" Jin Yao sighed, Dragon City was in dire straits and was lacking everything.

"The farmland was damaged due to the war, so Long Wei helped the people recover. At the same time, in the name of the government, he lent money to the people to grow grain and farm tools to help the people resume farming!"

"Secondly, set up night schools in each township, select officials to teach local management methods, and select the best to serve as officials!" Jin Yao continued.

"Here!" Chen Xian, Wu Rui and others nodded.

This is also a helpless move. Although promoting filial piety and honesty can select people with high moral character to serve as local officials, those with high moral character may not be able to manage!

Therefore, Longcheng must also send officials to assist local management and teach local villagers how to learn filial piety and integrity to manage the local area.

"Should we follow the example of the Qin State and legislate farming methods and teach them to the localities?" Chen Xian looked at Jin Yao and asked.

The Qin State had agricultural laws, which clearly recorded when to sow, fertilize, how much to dig the ground, and the sowing geometry were all stipulated in detail.

Jin Yao frowned. Qin's farming laws were set during the Shang Dynasty. However, at that time, Qin only had Guanzhong and Longxi. The terrain was similar, so it was natural for them to farm according to the same farming laws.

But Dragon City is different. Dragon City has mountains, plains, and swamps, and the farming methods cannot be the same.

Adapting measures to local conditions is the key!

"Please ask the agricultural officials to come up with universal agricultural laws as soon as possible, promulgate them, and require all regions to farm according to the agricultural laws!" Jin Yao still agreed.

Although this will cause some places to be inapplicable, it is enough as long as most of them are suitable. It is impossible for them to revise a farming law specifically for one place.

"But remember to remind the local government that if it is not suitable, report it to Dragon City as soon as possible, and then send officials to make appropriate modifications according to local conditions!" Jin Yao still reminded.

"Here!" Chen Xian nodded.

These Qin countries are all experienced, so they can just follow Qin's practices to avoid those mistakes.

"There's one more thing!" Wu Rui suddenly said.

"What's the matter?" Jin Yao looked at Wu Rui doubtfully.

"Dragon City is a feudal country. As the king of Dragon City, your Majesty should breed offspring for the country. Only when you have a heir can the country be stable, and the officials and people of Dragon City can feel at ease!" Wu Rui said seriously.

Being childless has always been a major issue for a country and should not be underestimated, but now that Dragon City is stable, they will naturally have their little king!

Jin Yao frowned. This is indeed a problem. Sometimes it is not his decision whether to marry a wife and have children.

"Is there a suitable candidate?" Jin Yao looked at Wu Rui and asked.

"Yes, Princess Feiyan of Zhou Dynasty, the daughter of King Qin, and the daughter of King Qi are all good choices!" Wu Rui replied.

The concubine of the king of a country cannot have a low status!
