After Yu He left, Meng He reported it and Zhang Han asked to see him.
I raised my head and glanced at him: "What's the matter?"
Zhang Han handed Yuchi a separate military report and said briefly: "This time the musketeers fired a total of four thousand rounds of projectiles. Yuchi asked Your Majesty if it is not necessary to retrieve the projectiles for the time being, because the place of Wolf Court is already full of corpses." Mountains and seas of blood, in order to prevent the soldiers from leaving nightmares, only Yuchi and the three of them went in to investigate the situation."
I handed the general report back to him: "As it should be, that's it."
Zhang Han cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. In addition, will the Musketeers' camp be located in Shanglin Garden?"
I thought about it and said slowly: "The troubles of the Xiongnu have been eliminated, and the Western Region has surrendered. The construction of the new city will be ready to start. By then, there will be too many people around Shanglin Garden, and part of Shanglin Garden has been included in the new city plan. The city is under construction in the future, so it’s better to find another place, but I didn’t think of any hidden place.”
Zhang Han cupped his hands and said, "I have a place to go."
"Oh? Tell me."
Zhang Han responded: "The straight road starts from Yunyang Ganquan, which is only 800 miles away from Shangjun and 1,400 miles away from Jiuyuan. Once the Huns start fighting again, it only takes one day for the news to reach Ganquan Palace. When the emperor was still alive I often go there to discuss with the Mongolian generals to defend against the Huns, and the grain and grass for the northern army are transported to Ganquancang first and then sent out from Ganquancang."
"Your Majesty has not been to Ganquan Palace since he came to the throne. The soldiers there are not well-trained. Your Majesty, why not let the musketeers stationed in Ganquan, so that they can not only defend Xianyang, but also guard the food and grass, and stay away from crowded places? What do you think?"
"Yes." I nodded and said with a smile: "It is indeed a good place. I haven't paid much attention to this place before. In this case, I ordered the musketeers to garrison Yunyang. As for Rewufang, Xianyang is still left and cannot be used except in wartime. Providing gunpowder to the musketeers.”
Zhang Han cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is wise. In addition, the three trucks of bombs brought this time have not been used. Can they be transported back to Rewufang?"
I waved my hand. This thing was already an explosive. It was too dangerous to put it in Xianyang. I thought for a moment and said, "Put it in Jiuyuan. It can be used for emergencies. Don't tell Meng Tian what it is. Just tell him that it should be stored away from crowded places. Any No one is allowed to open it, let alone throw it away, but if anyone knows what it is, let him come and see it!"
"As you command!"
I stood up and took a look outside the palace. The leaves in Shanglin Garden were already slightly yellow, and I sighed: "I still have to come more often to these Li Gong. Although I am training with the new army this summer, it is very cool in Zhangtai Palace."
Since arriving at Zhangtai Palace, Tao Yao has not shouted "Hot" anymore...
Zhang Han smiled slightly and replied: "Your Majesty is diligent in political affairs. In addition to Xianyang Palace and Zhangtai Palace, there are six other palaces: Ganquan Palace, Liuguo Palace, Jingyang Palace, Liangshan Palace, Wangyi Palace and Xingle Palace. Your Majesty should Go and take a look often, otherwise those people might make such a mess of the palace."
I chuckled, waved my hand and said: "Forget it, don't rush to leave the palace now. Let's talk about it after I go to various places after the court meeting. It's been a long time since I went to see how people in the world are living. I have to see it with my own eyes. , otherwise you won’t be able to rest assured.”
The two chatted casually for a while, and then Zhang Han left.
The days that followed were mainly about discussing with Li Si the dispatch of officials to the Western Regions and dealing with the family members of the Qin army in the Western Regions.
The dispatch of officials to the Western Regions is more complicated, involving issues such as new official positions, ability inspections, willingness, etc., and the number of officials required is relatively large.
Different from Donghu and Hexi, there are too many countries in the Western Region, and they were not won by defeating their armies. Except for Wusun, which was actually controlled by Da Qin, other countries also had complete national systems such as kings and generals. How? Dealing with the relationship between Da Qin officials and them was also a headache.
As for the family members of the Qin army in the Western Regions, they are basically divided into two types. One type is those who have brothers and sisters in the family, and naturally want their parents to stay in their ancestral home. This group is given preferential treatment in taxes and subsidies as promised;
The other is the only child in the family, which is very rare. After all, in this era, people are willing to have more children regardless of whether they can support them. Although the tax pressure is high, for people in this era, these children are when they are old. Afterwards, according to their wishes, they are scheduled to set off next spring with the officials sent to the Western Regions.

On the first day of October, there will be a great meeting.
After worshiping heaven and earth as usual, I led all the officials to the Temple of the Emperor of the Past Dynasties.
The journey was extremely solemn. Originally, the Great Court Meeting was a matter for the imperial court and the emperor's family. Now Emperor Panguwa, the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors were included. Many people from Xianyang City and people surnamed Ji who got the news to pay homage to Emperor Zhou followed the ceremonial guard and went there together. bye.
As early as when I proposed to build the Tianzi Temple, I ordered that there would be no restrictions on the Tianzi Temple and that everyone could enter and worship.
Today is hosted by the imperial court and the emperor goes to worship in person. People need to worship before I can enter before worshiping. However, in order to let the world see my sincerity, everyone can watch from both sides of the square in front of the temple.
After offering sacrifices to all the emperors in the palace, I walked out of the palace door and stood still in front of the palace.
The hundreds of officials and crowded people below were pious and silent. Many people could not squeeze in, so they crowded the surrounding roads and open spaces. The main hall, because the main hall of Afang Palace is the base, is extremely tall and can be seen even from outside the temple wall. To the Tianzi Temple and my figure.
I glanced around the crowd and said solemnly: "I am the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty. I built the Temple of the Emperors of the past dynasties to worship the gods and emperors of the past dynasties. The purpose is to let everyone in the world know that the great Qin unified the world to stabilize China and inherit the inheritance of all ancestors. The ambition of the person!
I would like to tell Emperor Panguwa that today's land still breeds the descendants of China; to the three emperors and five emperors, there will no longer be floods and disasters in Kyushu; to the emperors of all generations, there will be no more wars, disputes, and conquests by princes!
I surrendered Hexi, destroyed Donghu, conquered the Western Regions, and conquered the Xiongnu. I gained more than 20,000 miles of land! Our Great Qin will finally be free from evil!
I hereby make an oath to all my predecessors and all my subjects: I will make our great Qin a strong and prosperous country! I don’t want all the nations to come to court, I want to make the land of Great Qin wherever the sun and the moon shine, and wherever the rivers reach! If you violate this oath, both humans and gods will be punished! "
"Your Majesty, ten thousand years! Ten thousand years of Great Qin!"
The tsunami-like shouts resounded throughout Shanglinyuan. No matter male or female, old or young, not to mention Qin, Zhao, Han and Wei, all were excited at this moment and cheered from the bottom of their hearts, startling countless birds.
These honest and simple people living in the land of China, all they want is a piece of land and a house, and they can endure thousands of hardships! Who is the king in the world? They don't care; who is the master in the world? They don't care, they just want to survive!
There are bursts of vocal music and roaring shouts!
I will defend this Great Qin! I will protect this China! In the next ten thousand years, who will dare to bully China? !
