What is the difference between cutting down mountains and destroying temples and destroying people’s ancestral graves?
That is to say, the grassland tribes are accustomed to sky burials and do not have the obsession of returning to their roots, but they also have their ancestral mountains that they believe in.

As the date of the Qin Dynasty's unification ceremony approached, Xianyang became extremely lively.

"Master Li Yao is imitating Master Chen Jian!"

Looking at the bustling Xianyang filled with banners everywhere, Luo Bing couldn't help but smile and sigh.

Ever since Chen Jian started using the sponsorship trick, places everywhere seem to have begun to learn and follow suit.

As one of the most grand and solemn ceremonies of the Qin State, the Ceremony of Unification was an event that attracted the whole world. The number of merchants willing to sponsor the event was no less than that of Han Fei's wedding, and the capital behind it was even stronger.

"These trading companies are the largest businesses in the world!" As the foreign minister of Bingzhou, Gongsun Linglong knows more big merchants.

Han Fei's wedding could only be considered a small affair and could not attract any large merchants or businesses.

Xianyang is different. After all, Xianyang is an old capital city, and all major trading companies in China have branches here.

Therefore, it is very likely that the Qin State's unification ceremony will earn more than Beiye Royal City.

"If you don't copy homework, you're a fool!" In the Qin State's Zhisu Neishi Yamen, Li Yao had no sense of shame as a plagiarist.

If you don’t use good things, you are either a fool or an idiot.

What's more, can the businessmen's things be called copying? This is called reference.

"But don't embarrass me. If a national gift is not as good as a wedding, I will kill all of you first and then resign!" Li Yao glared at his subordinates.

He had templates to copy and more opportunities to avoid mistakes, but he still couldn't beat Beiye Royal City. He should be really ashamed.

“Yes!” The Qin State’s Grain Management Office also knew the consequences.

When there is no comparison, everyone can say nothing about the worst, and the only thing they compete with is who is worse.

But with the comparison, whoever is worse is the one with mediocre, lazy and negligent governance, which can be fatal.

"Sir, do you want to go to the East Market of Xianyang as well..." asked an official.

If you're going to copy, just copy the whole thing!

"..." Li Yao was silent and glared at the man coldly.

Let yourself do a striptease?
I’m old, how can I have the inverted triangle and eight-pack abs like Chen Jian!
What's more, do you have the muscles of those strong men in the Bingzhou Grain Administration Office?

The officials of the Qin State's Grain Management Office fell silent as they looked at their fat bodies.

They are both internal historians, so why is there such a big difference between them?

Why don’t you just enjoy eating and drinking with the merchants? Why do you have to be so self-disciplined!
“If the profits after the unification ceremony are not as good as Bingzhou, then I don’t mind stripping you all and hanging you on the mast of Xianyang East Market for three to five days!” Li Yao said angrily.

The passenger and merchant throughput of Xianyang is much greater than that of Beiye Royal City, and the unification ceremony is a grand event in the world. If this cannot compare with Beiye Royal City, then he can find a rope and hang it on the mast of Xianyang East Market.

But before that, he would definitely hang all these people up first.

"..."The officials in charge of grain in Qin State were all trembling with fear. They believed this!
Everyone knows that Li Yao is from the Longxi Li family. He inherited his father's title, Marquis of Didao, and once served as the prefect of Nanjun. He also came from the battlefield.

And in this unification ceremony, Li Yao's title of Marquis of Didao is likely to go one step further, from county marquis to full marquis, and then to Marquis of Wen.

In addition to the Wang and Meng families with two marquises in one family, the Longxi Li family will also be the same.

Because Li Xin did not suffer a great defeat like in history when Chu was destroyed, he was also granted a title of nobility this time.

Therefore, the Longxi Li family will also have two marquises, and they are both civil and military marquises.

"That's a bit too many titles!" In Qinian Palace, Ying Zheng frowned as he looked at the title document handed over by Meng Yi.

All of a sudden, three dual-marquis families were created for Daqin: the Wang family, the Meng family, and the Li family!
"After all, it is a unification, which is no less than the founding of a new country!" Meng Yi said in a low voice.

"Can Hei Bai Xuan Jian also be granted a title of nobility?" Ying Zheng was stunned when he saw Hei Bai Xuan Jian, who was at the end of the list.

"If His Majesty the First Emperor gives it to me, I will take it. If Your Majesty thinks it is too high, I can refuse it!" Hei Bai Xuan Jian said with lowered eyebrows and confident eyes.

Ying Zheng's mouth twitched, what the hell are you pretending for!
You pretend to be harmless in front of me, but once you leave the hall, who among the civil and military officials in the court is not afraid of you?

However, the enthronement documents handed over by Siche Shuzhang Mansion were not just enthronement documents, but also recorded the achievements of these people why they were awarded the title of nobility.

As the leader of Luowang, Hei Bai Xuan Jian has a lot of blood on his hands over the years. He has assassinated many generals and important ministers of enemy countries, and provided a lot of important intelligence to the invading army, so his military merits are enough to make him a marquis.

Of course, he was just an ordinary county marquis, not a full-time marquis.

Zhang Han looked at Hei Bai Xuan Jian with envy. They were both intelligence chiefs, but Hei Bai Xuan Jian had enough military merit to be awarded a title of nobility. However, because he was in the inner court of the Shadow Secret Guard, his military merits were far behind Hei Bai Xuan Jian, so it was a great achievement for him to be awarded the rank of noble.

"Here's a reward for you!" Ying Zheng shook his head helplessly.

If the military merit is sufficient but it is not rewarded, it would be a violation of the rules of Qin State, which is much more serious than giving a reward of a title of nobility.

"A title for military merit!" Ying Zheng sighed.

Being granted titles of nobility or dukedom are small matters, and only a small amount can be obtained.

The key is the soldiers below.

One change may not have much impact, but during the entire unification process, too many changes were created.

Almost tens of thousands!
Why not change?

That means being exempted from military service!

According to the previous Qin State practice, those who did not change their titles could serve as the chief clerk of a county or department in the local area.

Although it is only the fourth level among the twenty levels of military merit titles in the Qin State, it cannot withstand the huge number of people.

"Actually, we can wait!" Meng Yi said with a smile.

Bingzhou copied the system of Qin State, and the system of military merit and rank was also copied by Bingzhou. However, Bingzhou was a country-building reward state, and the rewards were much higher than those of Qin State.

"..."The corner of Ying Zheng's mouth twitched. You are bringing up something that is not relevant.

I wonder if I can wait for Bingzhou to come up with a corresponding strategy and then copy it?

The problem is, it's shameful and humiliating.

"As long as you don't retire, then there will be no more service, right?" Hei Bai Xuan Jian put forward his suggestion.

"?" Ying Zheng and Meng Yi both stared at Hei Bai Xuan Jian in a daze.

Are you the devil?
The army was recruited in the first place in order to unify the world. Now that the world is unified, you still won't let people go home and want to squeeze them dry?

Do you really think that the army is your trap with no escape?
"Well...it's not impossible!" Ying Zheng thought about it.

Compared to sending these soldiers home, keeping them in the army seems to have less impact.

If they were allowed to go back, the Qin State would have to vacate corresponding official positions to accommodate these people, and these people would easily become new local aristocrats and establish their own local regimes.

The key point is that the Qin State does not have so many official positions for them.

"But if we don't put it back, we will need to continue looking for the enemy and continue the war!" Meng Yi frowned.
