[Simulation evaluation: Failed. As a disciple, you made great achievements by offering ingenious strategies to alienate the chanyu. But this did not reverse the fact of Qin's decline, and Qin still perished. 】
[Simulation reward: Cleanse the tendons and cut the marrow. 】
As the reward display ended, Zhang Beichen found that there seemed to be a hint of cool air entering his body, making his limbs feel extremely relaxed. The body that had been worn out by long-term overtime and staying up late seemed to have become stronger.
The whole person feels refreshed and conscious, as if he has been reborn!
"Damn it, are the rewards in this game really true?" Zhang Beichen was confused.
At this time, the game interface changed.
[The novice tutorial has ended. 】
[Do you want to start the official simulation? 】
[In the official simulation, the rewards will be more abundant, but they can only be opened once in a period of time. 】
"Let's go, after two games, let alone raising an empress, King Qin didn't win!" Zhang Beichen made up his mind, "In this simulation, even if King Qin can't raise an empress, we still have to win her!"
…
"Formal simulation?" Ying Yiren also held her breath in her heart, "I must make a comeback this time!"
…
[Official simulation has started! 】
Zhang Beichen gained his own identity and changed from [Commoner: Zhang Beichen] to [Commoner: Zhang Beichen].
His character attributes have been improved a bit due to previous simulation rewards. So his character card also changed from white card to blue card.
"Not bad, at least the start is better than the previous two games." Zhang Beichen began to think about how he should play this game.
Needless to say, the first round was a complete failure. In the second round, although he helped to pacify Longxi, other countries had not yet done so.
"The key lies in King Qin. I can't do anything alone. If I can meet King Qin in advance and ask her to change her strategy, it will be easier later." Zhang Beichen was thinking about it when he suddenly saw a prompt pop up in the game.
[You were walking on the street, and suddenly you met a clerk who interrogated you. He learned that your name was Zhang Beichen, and the clerk took you away. 】
"???" Zhang Beichen said with a greeting, why does this game not play according to the routine, and why does the plot of each game start with a different one.
This time he was captured directly. Will he be exiled to the army again? That's too bad luck!
[The clerk took you to the Palace of Qin. You met the King of Qin. The King of Qin asked you why you didn’t come to the palace to serve her? 】
"???" Zhang Beichen was stunned. What was going on? Does King Qin know him?
Is it just because I changed from a white card to a blue card that I am so popular? Obviously, the reputation will be reset in every game, but my reputation now is zero.
Besides, wasn't she turned away when she sought refuge with King Qin before?
[You responded that when you first arrived in Qin, you had no connections. The King of Qin did not make things difficult for you, but kept you and appointed you as a public official. 】
Gongshi is the lowest title and official position in the Qin State. Zhang Beichen was directly appointed as a Gongshi without any merit, which is already a very high salary.
[In the first year, you worked diligently in the Qin Palace and your abilities improved. 】
[You were taught martial arts by King Qin’s guard chief, successfully practiced, and reached the first level of cultivation. 】
"Sure enough! The minister's ability can be improved." Ying Yiren saw Zhang Beichen's attributes and quickly sent a few more teachers to teach him.
Zhang Beichen was dumbfounded, he was obviously here to do something. As a result, the King of Qin sent people over every two days to teach horse riding, archery, and various schools of thought.
He studies all day long.
"I didn't expect that after more than ten years of studying in reality, I still have to study in the game!" Zhang Beichen was speechless, thinking that his attributes were improving, so he had to concentrate on studying.
There were no surprises in the first year. The King of Qin and his people rested and restored their national strength.
The next year, the problem arose again.
[Seeing the weakening of Qin's national power, Lao Shanyu of the Rongdi tribe in Longxi was instigated by Yan and Zhao to launch a rebellion. 】
When encountering a rebellion, Zhang Beichen naturally offered his advice again.
[You have proposed to the King of Qin that you should send secret envoys to use alienation tactics to mislead the old Chanyu. The King of Qin admired your strategy very much, adopted your suggestion, and sent you as an envoy to Longxi. 】
The next process was similar to the last time. When the King of Qin pacified Longxi, various countries sent troops to carve up the Qin State.
"We've reached this point again!" Ying Yiren began to think about how she was going to break the situation this time.
This time, she did not rush to make a choice, but summoned the ministers to discuss it together.
For now, the Qin Kingdom is still there, and even the old clan is on the same front as her and will not betray easily.
[The ministers suggested that we should cede territory and pay compensation to drive a wedge between the countries. 】
Ying Yiren was still worried, so she went to Zhang Beichen to discuss it. This time, she was worried that Zhang Beichen would be trapped in Rongdi again, so she asked him to finish his work and come back early.
[Zhang Beichen offers you some advice. He believes that the Six Nations Alliance seems to have the same enemy, but in fact they all have their own agendas. It is better to promise one of the countries huge benefits, persuade it to retreat, and at the same time send a secret envoy to Wei to delay the king of Wei, and the six-nation alliance will be destroyed without an attack. 】
"This is still a estrangement, but compared to spreading the benefits to six countries, it may be a way to convince one of the countries." Ying Yiren accepted Zhang Beichen's suggestion.
[Zhang Beichen went to Wei as a secret envoy. He bribed the prime minister of Wei with a lot of money and delayed the time for Wei to send troops. 】
[Jing Ping sent an envoy to the State of Yan, promising huge profits, and the State of Yan withdrew its troops in advance. Upon seeing this, Zhao Guo also retreated. 】
[Seeing that Longxi was pacified and that the two countries had withdrawn their troops, and with the persuasion of Wei's prime minister, the King of Wei decided to accept Qin's cession of territory and seek peace. The crisis in Qin was resolved. 】
"Finally passed!" Ying Yiren breathed a sigh of relief. In this simulation, she finally made it to the third year!
But even so, Qin became even weaker after ceding territory and paying compensation. After a few years, other countries still couldn't sit still and wanted to attack Qin.
"It seems that we have to work hard and find talents to help govern Qin." Ying Yiren began to issue new orders.
[The treasury is empty, you decide to start from yourself, save food and money, and take the lead in donating money. Officials and nobles donated money one after another, and you got a lot of money. 】
[You issue imperial orders to recruit talented people from all over the world to serve the Qin State, and all of them can be granted official titles or titles. 】
"By the way, there is Zhang Beichen." Ying Yiren has not forgotten Zhang Beichen. In the first two simulations, this minister showed loyalty, and it was also because of Zhang Beichen that he was able to resolve the crisis this time.
[You decree that Zhang Beichen is made a public official and is in charge of seeking talents and governing the country. 】
"Duke! Haha." Zhang Beichen saw that his title was suddenly raised by six levels. There are twenty levels of nobility in the Qin State, from low to high, and the Duke is the seventh level.
As a public doctor, Zhang Beichen has more room for maneuver. He first specified the content of Ying Yiren's recruitment order.
All scholars must first pass the examination before they can enter the recruitment hall and be in charge of food and drink. If they become officials, they will have a probationary period of one to three years. If they fail during the probationary period, they will simply get out and will not be given a title.
If the probation period is sufficient, the official position and title will be granted. In this way, many people who fished in troubled waters were eliminated, and the King of Qin also saved money.
[In two years, the recruitment order began to bear fruit, and the Qin State recovered some of its vitality. But compared to other countries, it is still weak. All countries are eyeing Qin, so you have to send a large amount of gold and silver to all countries every year. 】Ying Yiren feels that it is too difficult for her. In the past few years, she has been frugal and even her favorite wine has changed from three meals a day to once every three days, and it is also a multi-grain wine brewed in her own house.
In this way, Qin still looked half-dead. Spending money to buy peace can't buy it for a few years. In recent years, the appetites of surrounding countries have grown larger and larger, and money has become difficult to satisfy them. It is estimated that in a few years, the women of King Wei, King Chu, and King Zhao will be unable to bear it again and allied forces will attack her!
Ying Yiren decided to hold a court meeting to discuss the matter with the ministers.
[The ministers and generals agreed that Qin was weak because it lost a large area of territory. We should reorganize our armaments and regain lost ground. 】
Qin Yiren also sees it this way. In fact, before her, her father-in-law also fought continuously. The old clans, generals and nobles also relied on war to obtain fields, population and titles.
So once the Qin State gained strength, they would push for war, but they would lose more and win less, causing Qin to become poorer and weaker as they fought.
When Zhang Beichen saw it, why did he want to fight again? The Qin State finally recovered a little strength, and these courtiers encouraged the King of Qin to start a war. If there was a war, it might be destroyed again.
So, he quickly gave advice.
[Gongguo Zhang Beichen advised that Qin’s national strength was not enough to support the war, and its military strength was not as good as that of Wei and other countries. He believed that the Qin State should implement reforms and implement new policies. Only after reforms and strengthening could it consider war. 】
[The ministers accused Zhang Beichen of being bloodless and afraid of other countries. Prime Minister Meng Yuan proposed that Zhang Beichen be dismissed. 】
Ying Yiren took a look, "Good guy, you old guy actually want to dismiss my beloved?" In the last simulation, it was you who led people to rebel, or Zhang Beichen endured the humiliation and avenged the others!
[You decide to adopt Zhang Beichen’s suggestion and make changes to strengthen yourself. Zhang Beichen was also appointed as the chief of Zuo Shu to preside over the reform affairs. 】
Zuo Shuzhang's title was raised three levels more than that of Gong Dafu, and Zhang Beichen was promoted again.
[You promoted Zhang Beichen and presided over the reform affairs, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the courtiers and old clans, and they began to obstruct Zhang Beichen's reform openly and covertly. 】
"Finally we can get down to business." Zhang Beichen was not idle during this period. He investigated all aspects of the Qin State's information and discovered the problem of Qin's weakness.
That is, the old clans represented by Meng Yuan and others occupied a large amount of land and population, and the Qin State was warlike. Every war made the people poorer, and the wealth was further occupied by the old clans.
So Qin is getting poorer and weaker.
If you want to make Qin strong, you must reform. Return the land to the farmers, free the slaves, increase productivity, and increase the population.
In addition, we must find ways to weaken the power of the old clans. This will inevitably touch their interests and trigger their counterattack.
[You tried to implement the new law, but because the implementation of the new law failed several times before, the people did not trust the new law, and it was difficult to implement the new law. 】
