Chapter 113

"By the way, Mother. Tomorrow, we must go for a good stroll. I have never been to such a fun place before."

"Didn't that Eunuch Wei say that we can enter and exit all parts of this Budalagong as we please?"

"I also want to go for a walk outside the palace..."

Princess Changle was just like a chirping little sparrow, speaking excitedly without stopping.

The night grew deep.

The Budalagong, amidst the biting cold wind, finally fell into tranquility.

In the days that followed.

Qin Mu was constantly busy handling the state affairs of Great Qin.

He distributed the entire population of 10 million across various parts of Tibet.

Thanks to the help of the system, the problem of centralized population management was naturally a breeze.

Besides this.

Qin Mu appointed Shen Wansan as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

At the same time, he established a commercial bureau within Lhasa and placed Shen Wansan in charge.

He also allocated all ten thousand commercial talents to him.

Shen Wansan was a world-renowned commercial genius!

The number one richest man in the world!

No matter what it was, it could be turned into gold and silver in his hands.

Such a talent, if not utilized properly.

Wouldn't it be a waste of heaven's gifts?

Qin Mu had Shen Wansan exclusively manage all commercial dealings inside and outside Great Qin.

Whether it was various agricultural crops, minerals, handmade textiles, or local specialty delicacies,

In short, one sentence!

Great Qin's economy must surpass that of Great Tang!

Besides this.

Even slaves could be traded!

Qin Mu established an educational official position within the imperial court, and Wang Yangming was appointed to this post!

Wang Yangming was an even greater figure than Shen Wansan.

The famous founder of the School of Mind, revered by later generations as a sage!

Having him educate the world was the most suitable choice.

Just like Shen Wansan.

Wang Yangming also had his own administrative agency.

Qin Mu allocated all ten thousand teachers to Wang Yangming and established educational institutions in every location.

This educational institution was not just for teaching people to read and write.

Many of Qin Mu's ideologies were also spread to the world through this institution, further consolidating his rule.

In addition to these two departments, Qin Mu specifically established a medical institution.

The person in charge was naturally the divine physician Li Shizhen from the Academy of Sciences.

Ten thousand physicians who heal the sick and save lives were also all allocated to him.

Professional people manage professional matters!

These three newly established departments were uniformly regulated and governed by Yan Song.

The resettlement of the ten million people was coordinated and managed by Zhang Juzheng and Liu Bowen.

Ten thousand craftsmen were also all allocated to them.

For a time.

City after city began to rise from the ground on the Tibetan Plateau.

The population increased rapidly, and everywhere was a scene of vibrant vitality.

Coupled with the road construction and improvement methods previously rewarded by the system.

A network of roads extending in all directions spread rapidly to every corner of Great Qin.

Large tracts of saline-alkali land, through saline-alkali land improvement methods, had now become fertile fields stretching for thousands of miles.

Super wheat, super cotton, and super oil-wheat greens covered countless fertile fields.

Many farmers were driving yaks with Tibetan characteristics, working diligently in the fields.

Groups of three or five farm women carried vegetable baskets and lunch boxes, delivering meals to their men.

There were also many children playing and frolicking in the fields, a scene of prosperity.

In the towns.

Merchants and foot soldiers were in an endless stream.

Merchants hawking various goods and a dazzling array of commodities were springing up like bamboo shoots after rain, born vibrantly on this land.

Just as Great Qin's internal affairs were in full swing, a piece of news was transmitted from outside the borders to the Budalagong.

Inside the main hall.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Great Tang is preparing to negotiate peace with our Great Qin, and has now dispatched envoys to enter the Tibetan Plateau."

Zhang Juzheng reported the news received earlier to Qin Mu, who sat high above.

"Negotiate peace?"

"I thought Great Tang could hold on for a bit longer!"

"I didn't expect them to be unable to hold on after just a few months?"

Qin Mu raised an eyebrow, his tone filled with disdain.

He had long seen through the drawbacks under the Great Tang's prosperous age.

The aristocratic families, clans, and the Five Surnames and Seven Clans had long ago carved up all the benefits of the prosperous age!

They held firmly to the power in their hands and were unwilling to contribute even a fraction to the people of Great Tang.

Not to mention their Emperor, Li Er!

At this time, Great Tang was like a bloated man who had been forcibly puffed up.

While developing crazily over these few years, it had also hollowed out its own internal demand completely.

The legendary article that Qin Mu once wrote was merely a rough concept.

If one were to reform completely according to the methods above, the gains would indeed be great, but the side effects and backlash brought about could not be underestimated either.

Clearly.

Li Er did not see those drawbacks, but instead desperately implemented the strategies of that legendary article all at once.

Coupled with the fueling of the flames by the Five Surnames and Seven Clans and the aristocratic families.

Everything had become irredeemable!

"Yes, Your Majesty! It is said that Great Tang's grain and fodder are insufficient, and they had no choice but to seek peace with us."

"For such a vast and mighty country, how could they be short of grain and fodder after only a few short months?"

"Who's to say otherwise!"

The assembled officials in the hall discussed heatedly.

"Alright, I would like to see what new tricks the Great Tang envoys have."

Qin Mu revealed a hint of an expectant smile.
