After going to court, Xiao Yuan began to walk around the palace. After all, the palace had just been built and he needed to be familiar with it.
He was wearing royal robes and a royal crown. Wherever he passed, the palace guards stationed everywhere knelt down on one knee when they saw him.
As he walked, Xiao Yuan also felt that something was wrong. Although the palaces were majestic, apart from the Forbidden Army, they were still the Forbidden Army. They were too deserted and solemn.
Thinking of this, he immediately summoned Liang Yuan and Chu Ning.
After receiving the news, the latter two people did not dare to delay and rushed over. After seeing Xiao Yuan, they knelt down and saluted: "See you, Your Majesty."
"No courtesy." Xiao Yuan waved his hand and continued walking forward. The two of them quickly followed behind with their shoulders slightly lowered.
After wandering around and looking around, Xiao Yuan said without looking back: "Chu Ning, have you made arrangements for the palace maid?"
Because Chu Ning used to be the housekeeper of the prefecture, after Xiao Yuan became king, she has now become a palace maid, mainly responsible for the affairs of the palace maids. After hearing this, she quickly said: "Back to the king, we are already making preparations. We have initially determined the age. They are between fourteen and twenty years old, mostly chosen among the people."
"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded and said: "For the palace maiden matter, private women need to voluntarily enter the palace. They cannot be forced. The monthly gold and silver should be slightly increased."
"Yes." Chu Ning responded.
Xiao Yuan added: "In addition, after the first batch of palace ladies are confirmed, their household registration and other documents will be handed over to Liang Yuan."
"In the palace, there must be no scheming, no unknown persons. Find out their details one by one." As he spoke, Xiao Yuan also glanced at Liang Yuan.
The latter quickly responded: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely handle this matter well."
"Well, you can go about your business." Xiao Yuan waved his hand casually again.
"Wei Chen, please leave." The two of them bowed and left.
That night, Xiao Yuan stayed at Gu Xue's place. He had been tired for several days due to the conferment ceremony, so after nightfall, he fell on Gu Xue's bed and fell asleep with his head covered.
After a sleep after fatigue, Xiao Yuan slept very comfortably. Here at Gu Xue, he also slept very peacefully without so many worries.
Early the next morning.
"Husband, husband..."
Gu Xue's soft call came from the side, and she was pushing Xiao Yuan with her little hands. Although Xiao Yuan is now a king, in private, they still call him that between husband and wife.
The latter was still asleep at this time, and he said vaguely: "Xue'er, don't make trouble, I'm so sleepy."
After saying that, he turned over and continued to sleep soundly.
This is because he has been too tired these past few days and has not had a good rest.
But Gu Xue became even more anxious and put more strength on her hands: "Oh husband, get up soon! It's already dawn! It's time to go to court early!"
After hearing this, Xiao Yuan finally sat up reluctantly, rubbed his eyes and said, "What time is it?"
"It's almost time." Gu Xue came back and saw that he was awake, so she started to prepare things for him to wash.
But Xiao Yuan was obviously dozed off and hadn't slept well. He was also a human being, so he would naturally have some emotions. He couldn't help but muttered: "I'm so exhausted! What's wrong with not going today!"
"Husband, you are talking nonsense." Gu Xue rolled her eyes at him, walked over and sat on the bedside and pushed him: "Get up soon."
"Alas!" Xiao Yuan sighed, and in desperation, he could only lift the quilt.
After he got up and dressed and washed, Gu Xue also began to carefully arrange the lapels of his royal clothes and tie his jade belt.
morning.
By the time Xiao Yuan entered the court meeting hall, hundreds of officials had already arrived.
He was dressed in royal robes, with a royal crown on his head, nine strings of jade beads on his forehead, and the King of Qin's sword hanging on his waist. His aura showed the majesty of a king.
Seeing him, all the officials knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "I will see you, your Majesty, and I will be king for ten thousand years."
"Your Majesty, please stand down." Xiao Yuan waved his sleeves and took a seat on the throne directly above.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." People shouted in unison again, and then they all stood up, bowed their heads slightly, and lined up on the left and right.
At this time, Prime Minister Liu Yuzhi was the first to stand up, bowed his hands and saluted: "Your Majesty, now, the national structure has been determined, but there are still some disadvantages among the counties, such as the population problem of Beiling and Liyang, due to Xirong The reason for the occupation of the twelve cities is that the current population of these two places is not as good as that of other prosperous counties, which makes it difficult to collect taxes, the people are poor, the fields are abandoned, and the business travel is sluggish. Therefore, Weichen suggested that a relocation policy can be promulgated to provide generous benefits. Conditions and land encourage people in other counties to move north."
There was a Wang case in front of Xiao Yuan. Hearing what Liu Yuzhi said, he also put the bamboo slips back and said deeply: "We have always wanted to deal with the population problem in Beiling and Liyang, but have not implemented it. Now the Prime Minister Propose a specific relocation policy. After consultation, an official document will be sent to me as soon as possible."
"Wei Chen takes orders." Liu Yuzhi returned to the train.
Immediately afterwards, Shangguan Wenruo stood up and raised the military issue with Xiao Yuan. He suggested to Xiao Yuan that the state should provide certain accommodation to the families of the Qin army officers and soldiers who died in the battle.
Xiao Yuan has actually thought about this matter, and he completely agrees with it. Just when he was about to answer, Jiang Yi stood up and expressed his objection: "Your Majesty, I think the policy proposed by Lord Shangguan is inappropriate. "
As he spoke, he added: "Our country is originally located on the border. Although it is prosperous now, the national treasury is still not sufficient. The king has already restructured the army. The soldiers' pay has been increased, and the military merit system is unprecedented. Soldiers only need to fight bravely to kill the enemy, and dying on the battlefield is also a sacrifice for the country. No king in the world will make arrangements for soldiers who die in battle, and our country does not need to do the same."
After hearing what he said, Xiao Yuan shook his head and said: "You must all know that kings in the world have built palaces and spent countless gold and silver. If this money is used to house martyrs, it will be more than enough!"
"Gu, you don't need any palace, a royal uniform is enough, but the soldiers who died in battle! They shed their blood on the battlefield for the great cause of our country, Qin!"
Having said this, he seemed to have some emotions. He stood up and pointed outside the hall and said in a loud voice:
"Look at this Qin Palace! If it weren't for our Qin Army soldiers, why would we be here!"
"Look at your official uniforms! If it weren't for our Qin Army soldiers! Why would you be standing in the temple!"
"Without my soldiers! There would be no Qin!"
"There is no need to discuss this matter again!"
"The national treasury is not sufficient, so I will demolish my palace! Minato, please help me! The martyrs who died in the war must be resettled!"
Seeing his words like this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but slide her Adam's apple, secretly swallowed her saliva, and quickly said cautiously: "Yes, yes, it was the minister who made a mistake..."
The soldiers who died in the battle were all young men from the Qin State. They died on the battlefield and shed their blood for the country, but their families lost their backbone. What should they do with their wives, children, and children?
The kings of other countries did not care about this issue, or rather, they would rather spend their gold and silver on extravagance, but Xiao Yuan regarded this as the top priority.
Big deal, it’ll be harder!
The Qin army dares to fight, and the Qin country is not afraid of poverty. As long as the whole country and the army and the people are united, Xiao Yuan believes that a great country will eventually rise.
