After the celebration banquet, the court became lively again.
After the war, there were countless matters, big and small, and the officials were kept busy.
As the highest decision-maker, Ying Zheng was even busier.
Not only did he have to deal with daily government affairs, but he also had to discuss post-war arrangements with his ministers.
Recently, I often go out early and come back late.
Chu Yuening rarely saw him. Only late at night could she feel a broad chest against her back.
While feeling sad, she also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I finally have time to take care of my waist.
Otherwise, if this continues, she will really have to ask the Shangshi Bureau to prepare some nourishing soup.
However, she had some doubts in her heart.
The two of them have been trying for so long without taking any precautions, so why haven't I gotten pregnant?
Chu Yuening thought about it for a while and decided not to pursue the matter any further. Having a child is a matter of fate and cannot be forced.
Besides, she was already content with having three treasures.
During this period, she was also very busy.
Just the two tasks of opening a factory and establishing a national primary school gave her a headache.
Fortunately, we had assistance from the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Education, which helped to relieve a lot of the pressure.
In addition, the hospital is about to be completed...
Of course, they were not the only ones busy, there were also clerks in the government, farmers doing spring plowing, workers doing their work, merchants doing their business...
Everyone is working hard and contributing a little to the development of the country.
Today, Daqin is booming and thriving, bursting with unprecedented vitality and vigor.
As spring turns to summer, the sun becomes hotter and hotter, and a wisp of summer breeze blows by, making the trees more lush and green, and the flowers more colorful and fragrant.
After finishing the important matters at hand, Chu Yuening finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After the initial bumps and bruises, the newly appointed students became much more calm and initially learned how to be a good factory manager.
Perhaps they are still a little immature, not mature enough, and not tactful enough in dealing with things.
But it is undeniable that they are becoming the backbone of the development of the Qin economy.
In addition, with the funding from Chu Heng, various counties began to build primary schools one after another.
Time flies, and everything is slowly getting back on track.
On the other side, in the court.
Ying Zheng and his officials finally agreed on a specific set of regulations for the newly conquered territory.
The original territories of the Yuezhi, Wusun and other tribes were established as Hexi County, troops were sent to garrison, and local administrative units such as counties, townships, and Liting were established.
County cities were also built in the Hexi Corridor to facilitate management and the future opening of the "Silk Road".
All fortifications were built by prisoners of war. Upon completion, they could be freed from slavery, join the Qin household registration, and enjoy the same status and treatment as the Qin people.
Those who perform well can also be rewarded with housing and land.
As soon as the news came out, the prisoner-of-war camp was in an uproar.
After the captives were shocked, they all looked incredulous.
Since ancient times, what good outcome has there been for people who have become prisoners of war?
Basically, they were reduced to the lowest-class slaves, doing the dirtiest and most tiring work, and were not well fed or clothed.
Whether you can survive depends entirely on how strong your luck is.
But now, as long as they build a city, they can escape from slavery and become civilians.
And if you do a good job, you will get a house and land.
This is great treatment.
So good that their first reaction was disbelief.
So someone plucked up the courage to ask the soldier who delivered the message.
"Sir, is this true?"
"Of course, there's no benefit in lying to you."
The soldier was relatively gentle and answered patiently.
He received an order to publicize the benefits of joining the Qin Dynasty to this group of foreigners and encourage them to sincerely surrender.
"When the city is built, if you behave well and have a piece of land to grow sweet potatoes, potatoes, or pumpkins, you can feed your family."
"But the most important thing is our Daqin household registration status."
"When the factory opens in the future, you can come in and work there, get paid every month, and never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life."
The soldier's tone was very calm, but it seemed genuine and not fake, as if he was used to it.
Most of the prisoners already believed it to about 70%.
Listening to the beautiful blueprint described by the soldiers, I felt dizzy.
Some people are skeptical and take risks, asking a series of questions, eager to find an answer.
"Sir, what are sweet potatoes, potatoes, and pumpkins? Are they a kind of food? We have never heard of them."
"What is a factory? What kind of work does one do in it?"
The soldier was not annoyed and explained each question in detail.
When they heard that the sweet potato yield per mu was 10,000 kilograms, everyone gasped.
When they heard about the factory's welfare benefits, everyone's faces were immediately excited and they were looking forward to it.
When they heard that the children of Daqin could go to school, everyone was shocked and their eyes were full of envy.
Writing...that's something only the nobles of their tribe can learn!
People from the Central Plains can even learn it as young as children.
After the soldier finished explaining, the prisoner-of-war camp fell into a long silence.
The captives had different expressions, but the previous despair and numbness were no longer in their eyes.
What replaces it is the expectation and yearning for future life.
It is human nature to admire the strong.
Joining a powerful empire not only brings you protection, but also provides you with food, clothing, and a stable life.
Unconsciously, the resentment in the captives' hearts dissipated a little, and a hint of secret anticipation appeared.
When the construction of the city began, all the captives rushed over without the need for supervisors to drive them away, and each one worked harder than the other.
