My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 999: One trouble? No, three troubles! Ying Zheng appointed Liu Ji again!

Suddenly, all the ministers fell silent.

Lu Buwei bowed to Ying Chengjiao with gratitude in his eyes.

Han Cang asked carefully, "How would Lord Chang'an like to distribute it?"

It is not the fault of the officials. Ying Chengjiao only said that he intended to offer the pig farm to the court. But what if the officials angered Ying Chengjiao and he did not offer it? Who dared to take food from Ying Chengjiao's bowl?

Ying Chengjiao is indeed not protective of his own people, but can Ying Zheng let Ying Chengjiao suffer any injustice? !

Ying Chengjiao said in a deep voice: "I believe that our Great Qin will become increasingly prosperous and powerful, and our people will also become increasingly prosperous."

"But if the people become rich without merit, it will encourage laziness; if the people become rich through treachery, it will encourage evil. Only when the people become rich through merit can it encourage progress."

"At a time when money and grain are soaring and people are getting richer, our Great Qin needs to continue to implement the fundamental principle of rewarding meritorious service and punishing faults, and further consolidate the positive people's spirit of striving for progress in our Great Qin!"

Lu Buwei nodded repeatedly after listening to him, and all the court officials also nodded in agreement after thinking about it. Only the doctors surrounding him in the distance wanted to refute it.

It’s a pity that they were standing too far away, and their voices could hardly reach Ying Chengjiao’s ears.

Ying Chengjiao emphasized, "Because the Qin people are the foundation of our Great Qin. Generation after generation, they have fought for our Great Qin and expanded its territory. Also, because the Zhizhuyuan is located in Guanzhong, the pigs there are more adapted to the climate of Guanzhong. Therefore, I want to first spread the pigs into Guanzhong."

"But I think that the merits of the old Qin people have already been rewarded, and our Great Qin has always been a one-time reward for one merit and a one-time punishment for one fault."

"So, even if the Qin people get the boar, they should also be credited!"

Lü Buwei's heart, which had just been slightly happy, sank again: "Does Lord Chang'an want to include the pig in the rewards for military merit?"

"Chang'an Jun should know that our Great Qin has no intention of launching a war this year."

"This advice from Lord Chang'an cannot help Lord Chang'an solve his problem."

More importantly, Ying Zheng, Ying Chengjiao and Lu Buwei had already reached an agreement.

With the end of the war of unification, in the future, the Qin Dynasty will gradually lower the status of the military merit system and open up other promotion channels.

Tying a rising sun to a setting god can easily end up pleasing neither side.

Ying Chengjiao explained: "I think that pigs can be included in the military merit rewards."

"But I don't think the boar is so valuable that it can only be obtained through military merit."

"I heard that the king wanted to make the man write his age."

"I think this boar can be a reward!"

Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly focused.

There are two standards for adulthood in the Qin Dynasty today.

Children of the powerful and wealthy class will be registered according to the needs of the clan after birth, and whether they have reached adulthood will be based on their age in the register.

However, the children of the common people class were only considered by height. As long as they reached the height standard for adulthood, they would be considered an adult even if they were only eight years old, and would be immediately registered. However, if they did not reach the height standard for adulthood, they would still be considered a child even if they were over eighty years old, and would not need to be registered.

This directly led to the fact that although Ying Zheng knew how many adults there were in each place, he did not know the age distribution of male adults in each place, and did not know how many more adults the Qin Dynasty would have in the next few years, making it difficult to make detailed plans for the overall strategy in the next few years.

This also led to local areas having autonomy in their population registers, which greatly facilitated local officials and powerful people to conceal the population and secretly gather people together.

What Ying Zheng had to do was to require all males in the entire Qin territory to undergo population registration as soon as they were born!

This move is undoubtedly an attempt to seize the power to govern the people from the grassroots, break the grassroots' information shielding from the central government, crack down on the possibility of the grassroots hiding the people's power, and deal a thunderous blow to grassroots officials and powerful people who are intent on corruption and chaos!

Ying Zheng had been planning for this matter for more than half a year, and had many exchanges with local officials, especially those in Guandong, but he was still unable to achieve his goal.

Ying Zheng had decided to take a step back, first issuing a decree to the world that all men should be recorded in age, and then conducting targeted strikes based on the specific circumstances of the execution.

But Ying Zheng never expected that Ying Chengjiao would actually bring the men Shu Nian and Zhi Zhu together.

But on second thought, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up.

These two things can really be combined together!
Ying Chengjiao couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and said softly: "The pig can be more than a reward for your son's years of study."

"The descendants of the Qin royal family dared to be the first in the world to personally verify the art of suturing and delivering babies."

"Millions of soldiers of the Qin Dynasty were not afraid of the pain of blood and flesh, and personally used their injuries to verify the art of suturing and healing."

"After seven years of testing, although the Great Qin's suture technique still has some shortcomings, it can already contribute a little to the world."

"I ask you to build Daqin hospitals in various places in Guanzhong!"

"Let the suturing technique first benefit the people of Guanzhong, and then the people of Daqin as quickly as possible!"

Seven years is not enough time to bring about significant progress in medical technology.

But what if we add to that the major battles to destroy Wei, Chu, Zhao, and Qi, and the hundreds of thousands of wounded soldiers and hundreds of thousands of prisoners?

To date, Ying Chengjiao has trained a medical team that can fight tough battles and can basically meet the needs of Guanzhong.

But the problem is that this medical team only knows how to fight tough battles and treat battlefield wounds. They have basically zero experience in dealing with common injuries in daily life. When treating injuries, they only consider whether the wounded can survive and do not care about their feelings at all.

Rather than letting them waste two years of medical skills, it would be better to let them go deep into the people, where they can not only cure diseases and save lives but also practice their medical skills, and collect a large number of samples to further accelerate the progress of Daqin's suture medical skills.

Lu Buwei hurriedly said: "No!" "I know that Chang'an Jun cares about the people, but the Qin Dynasty should seek stability rather than change!"

"Da Qin already has too many techniques that need to be spread to the rest of the world. I think we shouldn't push more techniques and changes to Da Qin, to avoid chaos!"

"I think this matter can be decided later!"

Just now, Lu Buwei thought that Ying Chengjiao had changed his temper and wanted to lend him a helping hand, and even cast a look of gratitude towards Ying Chengjiao.

The result is great!
Not only did Ying Chengjiao not come to help Lu Buwei, but he also threw two major problems at Lu Buwei in succession!

Now three problems have emerged one after another. From what Ying Chengjiao said, it is clear that he wants to connect these three problems together to form a bigger problem. How can Lu Buwei not be anxious!
Ying Le stepped forward without hesitation and saluted: "What the Prime Minister said is absurd!"

"I can wait, but can the people of my country wait?"

"Prime Minister, do you know how many fetuses die in the womb every day in the Qin Dynasty?"

"The Prime Minister doesn't know!"

"But every time I think about it, my heart aches!"

Lu Buwei didn't know how to respond to this.

Of course, he didn't know how many fetuses died in the womb every day in the Qin Dynasty. He didn't even know how many children died every day in the Qin Dynasty, because the Qin Dynasty had not yet started to register children under the age of adulthood! How could he know!

Ying Le emphasized his tone and said: "The world is in the midst of great changes, and the king is a wise ruler. Why should the rulers and ministers of our dynasty fear great changes?"

"I hereby submit this advice to Lord Chang'an!"

"Many of the Qin royal family's children, servants, and officials have also learned the art of suturing."

"If the king really wants to build Daqin hospitals all over the world to treat the people and comfort their hearts, the children of the Daqin royal family are willing to go to all parts of the world to serve the people!"

Ying Le didn't know what purpose Ying Chengjiao wanted to achieve, nor did he know how Ying Chengjiao was going to combine pigs and suture techniques together, but none of this mattered.

What Ying Le can be sure of is that this move will bring many benefits to the Qin royal family!

As long as it is good for the Qin royal family, Ying Le will definitely lend a hand!

Li Si, Han Cang and other court officials as well as the doctors in the distance all bowed their hands and said, "I second the motion!"

Lu Buwei closed his eyes in pain.

The Prime Minister has just formulated a strategy for maintaining stability for the Qin Dynasty, where productivity has skyrocketed, and has just begun to think about strategies for governing the country!
However, before I could submit my plan for maintaining stability to the king, the productivity of Daqin would surge again and the grassroots environment would change drastically again, so that I had to make another plan.

This was only the third day after Ying Chengjiao's triumphant return, and Lu Buwei had no idea what kind of difficult problems Ying Chengjiao would present to him next!
Beside Lu Buwei, Wei Liao straightened his crown and looked out the window leisurely.

The sun is shining in the sky, the flowers are smiling at me, and the birds are saying: Good morning, good morning, why are you in such a good mood?
Ying Zheng's eyes flickered, and he said in a gentle voice while thinking: "This matter is of great importance, I think we should discuss it in detail."

Putting this matter aside for the moment, Ying Zheng smiled and looked at Ying Chengjiao and said, "The biggest event in the Qin Dynasty today is Chang'an Jun's pig farm!"

"Chang'an Jun has donated more than 200,000 pigs, which is a great contribution to our Great Qin!"

"Chang'an Jun spent a long time and worked hard to breed pigs for our Great Qin that are far superior to the pigs in Guanzhong. This is a great achievement!"

"I shall reward him handsomely!"

Ying Chengjiao did not continue the previous topic, but bowed and said: "This achievement is not just the achievement of me, but also the achievement of thousands of people in the pig farm!"

"Without the help of the pig farm, I would never have been able to accomplish my mission!"

"Just like Liu Ji, who was responsible for running around to collect fodder for the pig farm, he also built the current pig farm according to his brother's method of collecting pigs in cages, saving more pigs' lives with less firewood, and he also took on the important task of breeding the pigs!"

"In the past, my brother, the pig-management house, could only breed pigs according to their wishes, but Zhanniao Liu Ji has studied a new strategy, which allows us to breed pigs without considering their wishes. He even personally ordered all the pigs in the pig-management house to become pregnant!"

"Yu Zhi's contribution to the pig farm is very great!"

Ying Chengjiao was not exaggerating, nor was he biased towards Liu Ji.

Most of the people in the Pig Farm were too upright. Only Liu Ji's unruly character could come up with so many astonishing methods, helping the Pig Farm to achieve an almost barbaric growth.

Liu Ji has indeed made great contributions to the development of the Pig Farm to such a scale in just a few years!

Liu Ji said with a smile: "Chang'an Jun, you have a very sharp eye!"

Ying Zheng laughed: "Liu Zanniao just said that Chang'an Jun has a keen eye, and I thought Liu Zanniao was just bragging."

"When Liu Zanniao talks about Chang'an Jun's keen eyes, I think Liu Zanniao is actually praising Chang'an Jun!"

Liu Ji cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this compliment is truly very important!"

"When I die, I will order my descendants to carve these words of the king on a wooden board and place it in front of my grave."

"I hope that everyone who comes and goes will know that the king thinks that I am a talented person that Chang'an Jun has discovered with his wisdom!"

Liu Ji's words made Ying Zheng feel happy, and he invited him again: "In the past, I invited Liu Zan Niao to serve as an official, but Liu Zan Niao refused."

"Now that the matter of managing the pig house has been settled, Liu Zan Niao, are you willing to serve in Da Qin?"
