The plan is to build a super country, or a super civilization, based on the 200 million people in the Han area, where technology and mystery go hand in hand.
The first ten-year plan is only the foundation-laying stage. There will be a second, third, and even countless ten-year plans in the future, because the goal Qin Bin set for this new country is not only peace and prosperity, but also the distant sea of stars, and the sea of stars is not limited to this universe.
Let's not talk about things that are too far away for now, and get back to the present. It is May of the second year of Chuping. At this time, the thirteen states in the Han area have all been brought under the central management. At the same time, the management of the Western Regions Protectorate has reached its final stage, and the management of the Xianbei in the northern desert and the Western Qiang and Fa Qiang in the plateau has also been gradually started. It won't be long before the map of the Han Empire will be close to the middle and late Qing Dynasty. As for further expansion, it depends on the explosive growth of the Han population after entering a peaceful and prosperous stage.
After all, the land will not move away, but if there is not enough population to migrate to the border, there is no point in conquering more land.
While the Han territory was developing steadily and foreign military operations were being carried out in moderation, the officials in the Han court, feeling that a prosperous era had arrived, at a grand court meeting in mid-May, with advance hints from Zhang Juzheng and others and led by Yuan Wei and others, formally requested the Emperor to confer the title of king on the general and bestow the Nine Gifts.
Then, Liu Xie, who was sitting on the throne bored, became excited and asked, "Has the date for abdication been set?"
"..."
As all the ministers in the court stared in astonishment, Qin Bin, standing in armor before the emperor, shook his head helplessly, but soon laughed at himself, mocking himself for having fallen into the cliché and actually having to go through the ritual process.
Qin Bin's self-deprecating smile made Yuan Wei and other Han officials tremble with fear, but soon they widened their eyes again because Qin Bin spoke directly to Di Xie.
"Your Majesty, why don't we just discuss the date of abdication in court?"
Di Xie was a little scared at first, mainly because he spoke too quickly just now and might make things difficult for his own general. If he was punished by copying books and memorizing lessons, he would really cry. But now, after hearing what Qin Bin said, he felt relieved and nodded quickly.
"Okay, I've wanted to abdicate for a long time. How about tomorrow? The weather has been nice these past few days, sunny and windy. I think tomorrow won't be bad either. It will definitely be a good day!"
As he said this, Di Xie actually looked at Qin Bin with hope on his face.
How much do you not want to stay on the throne...
It seems that since the general entered the court, the emperor has been living a very comfortable life...
All the civil and military officials in the court were speechless at this moment.
Qin Bin wanted to roll his eyes, but he held back and said, "Your Majesty, this is not something that can be taken lightly."
"Is that so... Then big brother, when do you decide... Well, then everything will be done according to the general's wishes. I have no objection."
Realizing that he was being a little frivolous, Di Xie quickly put on his emperor's manner. However, it was too late, as all the old officials in the Han court saw it.
When Qin Bin was about to bow in response, he suddenly found that Di Xie was giving him a look. The meaning was very simple, which was - Brother, I have nothing to do here, can I leave first?
Qin Bin glared at him.
Liu Xie shrank his neck, then immediately resumed his emperorly demeanor and sat quietly on the throne.
The reason Liu Xie was so anxious to leave was simply because today was his day off as a student. Thinking of having fun, Liu Xie naturally hoped that the court meeting would end as soon as possible.
Qin Bin couldn't say anything in public about this, so he had to preside over the court meeting and finalize the abdication issue first.
In fact, all matters related to abdication, as well as the construction of related facilities such as altars, have been prepared, and it’s just a matter of going through the procedures.
So after Qin Bin spoke, Zhang Juzheng and other cabinet leaders had people distribute the plan that had been prepared long ago. Then Zhang Juzheng pointed out to the court officials some individual matters that they needed to pay attention to, especially in dealing with foreign guests, which required extreme caution, and asked them to read it carefully after returning.
Yuan Wei and other old ministers of the Han court were of course stunned by what they heard, especially the heads of state from other worlds, who were even more dumbfounded.
As for the details, Zhang Juzheng and others had to explain them to Yuan Wei and other old ministers of the Han court one by one. Otherwise, no one knew whether Yuan Wei and other old ministers of the Han court would do something weird in front of the foreign guests.
However, this kind of clarification should not be put in the grand court meeting, but should be held at the court officials' working meeting hosted by the cabinet. So after a general mention was made and the date of abdication was determined to be September 21, the second year of Chuping, Zhang Juzheng, at Qin Bin's suggestion, began the normal court meetings related to military, political and people's livelihood issues...
Chapter 380: Qi Refiner System
Now that the specific time of abdication has been decided, the next step is of course to take action.
But in reality, there is not much Qin Bin needs to do.
For example, Qin Bin does not need to worry too much about the Han court officials and the people at the moment. After all, with sufficient preliminary work and with the cabinet bigwigs such as Zhang Juzheng watching over them, it is basically unlikely that anything will go wrong.
As for the Ten Thousand Worlds Group, Qin Bin also decided that in early August, he would let the time of this mixed world of the Three Kingdoms be aligned with that of the Eternal Continent, and then notify the members of the Ten Thousand Worlds Group.
I believe that a month in advance is enough time for group members to arrange their own affairs and come to watch the ceremony calmly.
Before that, Qin Bin focused more on the 'Three Immortals of the Late Han Dynasty'.
To be more precise, it is based on the cultivation system brought by the 'Three Immortals of the Late Han Dynasty'.
The so-called "Three Immortals of the Late Han Dynasty" are actually Zuo Ci, Yu Ji and Nan Hua.
Zuo Ci and Yu Ji were real people in history, and both were recorded in the Book of the Later Han.
Zuo Ci was a famous alchemist, known as 'rarely divine', meaning there were very few people with such supernatural powers and Taoist skills.
Yu Ji was a famous Taoist priest and the author of "Taiping Jing". The Taiping Dao founded by Zhang Jiao was derived from "Taiping Jing".
As to whether the Yellow Turban Rebellion in history had a direct relationship with Yu Ji, we don’t know.
Nanhua Laoxian is a fictional character in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the prototype is probably the title given to Zhuangzi in Taoist scriptures. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Nanhua Laoxian became the immortal who gave Zhang Jue the "Taiping Yaoshu".
When he arrived in this world, Qin Bin first learned from Lu Bu that these three immortals were truly powerful men. At least before Qin Bin arrived, they were the top three powerful men in Han territory.
Later, Qin Bin learned through the secret scrolls of the Luoyang Imperial Palace that these three immortals were indeed three immortals who had lived for at least several hundred years. Moreover, before the appearance of the Heaven-granted Mark, that is, before Emperor Guangwu, Zuo Ci and Yu Ji were already famous among the alchemists.
The records of the Nanhua Immortal are even older.
The secret scrolls of the Han Dynasty even suspected that the Huangshi Old Man during the Chu-Han contention period was Nanhua, but without more direct evidence, it could only be a suspicion.
But this is not important. The point is that there are clear records in the files of Emperor Wen's period that Nanhua's real name is unknown, but he claimed in front of outsiders that he was a pre-Qin Qigong practitioner who was proficient in the art of longevity. He once appeared in Chang'an, the capital at that time, and demonstrated extraordinary abilities. Unfortunately, Nanhua was not recruited by the court and only appeared briefly in Chang'an. Emperor Wen never got to meet Nanhua in his entire life.
In the later years of Emperor Wu's reign, he mobilized the entire country to search for Nanhua and various immortals who were rumored to know the art of longevity, intending to achieve immortality. However, just like the First Emperor of this world, he failed.
As for Yu Ji and Zuo Ci, who probably appeared later, there were also sporadic miraculous records of them in the secret scrolls of the Han Dynasty. Generally speaking, like Nanhua, they were practitioners before the appearance of the Heaven-granted Mark.
Out of curiosity about the normal cultivation system of this world, before the Qin army took control of the entire Han territory by force, Qin Bin had already asked people to inquire about the whereabouts of Nanhua, Yu Ji and Zuo Ci, but unfortunately he had no success.
However, after Qin Bin came to power and completely controlled the entire Han territory, Nanhua, Yu Ji and Zuo Ci appeared together on the streets of Luoyang.
Naturally, Qin Bin immediately had the three people invited into the General's Mansion. In addition to asking about their purpose, he was more curious about the cultivation system of Qigong practitioners in the Pre-Qin period.
The purpose, or reason, for Nanhua and the other two to appear on their own initiative was also very real.
It's not that they came to submit to Qin Bin because they saw that he was destined to be their leader. Instead, the people Qin Bin sent out to look for the three of them were very powerful. They felt uneasy every time they brushed shoulders with those who were inquiring about them. As time went by, the three of them became more and more worried. They were afraid that if they really angered this anomaly who appeared out of nowhere, they would be targeted for the rest of their lives.
For the sake of future safety, or to die cleanly so as not to live in confusion every day, Nanhua and the other two decided to bite the bullet and show up in Luoyang to see what this anomaly was trying to do.
In the end, the three of them discovered that the reason why Qin Bin looked for them was purely out of his curiosity about the cultivation system of the pre-Qin Qi-refining practitioners, and he was willing to exchange it for an ancient martial arts system that was countless times more powerful than the Qi-refining techniques that they regarded as treasures. They couldn't help but laugh and cry about this, and even slapped themselves in their hearts.
Needless to say, Nanhua and the other two became retainers of the General's Mansion and provided Qin Bin with a vast amount of knowledge related to the Qi Refiner's cultivation system.
After Qin Bin conducted an in-depth study of the Qi Refiner system, he discovered that this was a "health preservation" system that focused on longevity and was weak in combat.
Of course, this emphasis is on the ancient martial arts system that focuses on combat.
In fact, the combat effectiveness of this system is not weak, especially in terms of talismans and five elements spells. There are many unique features that make Qin Bin's eyes light up.
Therefore, in the following period of time, in addition to his daily official duties, Qin Bin spent most of his time studying the Qi Refining System, and sorted out many of the essential parts. He planned to find time to discuss with his two teachers to see if they could be integrated into the universal version of the cultivation system that Qin Bin was working on.
Just like this, time passed little by little, and soon it was September of the second year of Chuping.
Although the autumn wind was gradually rising in Hanting Luoyang at this time, the climate was mild and pleasant. It was indeed a sunny day.
At this time, the abdication process was imminent, and all the famous Han families who allowed would come to Luoyang to watch the ceremony.
In addition to the Han people, there were also delegations from various worlds who arrived one after another, and they were all led by heads of state.
Including the Dragon King, the Elf King, and the Kana King are all here.
In addition, representatives of dozens of tribes such as Wuhuan, Xiongnu, Fuyu, Xianbei, Western Qiang, Yue people, etc. who were defeated and formally declared their loyalty to the general of the Han court, as well as modern media people from various countries, made Han court Luoyang at this moment filled with the image of a grand occasion with all nations coming to pay tribute.
The most distinctive among them is probably the First Emperor.
Because the First Emperor brought Liu Bang, Han Xin and Xiao He with him.
That’s right, they are Liu Bang, Han Xin, Xiao He and others in the Qin Dynasty.
One can imagine the expressions of the old officials of the Han court, especially the members of the Liu Han royal family who served in Luoyang, after they learned about this.
Speaking of the First Emperor, before the Qin Dynasty fell into chaos, he reorganized the country, abolished corvée labor, reduced taxes, disciplined officials, etc. In addition, the First Emperor continued to focus on shaping an imaginary community of "the people of Great China" among the people, and with the support of high-yield crops, this powerful combination of punches led to the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty within two or three years.
The various schools of thought and Liu Bang and his ilk, seeing that the lower-class people of the six kingdoms were gradually enjoying a good life with enough food and clothing, began to regard themselves as Qin people and even took pride in it. This was tantamount to the First Emperor exposing their very foundation for rebellion, so what was the point of their rebellion?
Chapter 381: Yuqin, Yongxing
So Liu Bang directly concealed his identity as a farmer's son and continued to stick to his promising post as a pavilion chief of the Qin Dynasty.
It turned out to be a promising position, because not long after, Liu Bang and Xiao He were both recruited to Xianyang. The First Emperor thought highly of Xiao He and promoted him to a high position, directly making him the Minister of the Chancellery of the First Emperor (the Qin Dynasty also had Ministers of the Chancellery, whose function could be understood as the emperor's clerical secretary, and who was a close attendant of the emperor with great power). Liu Bang was promoted to the Taicang Order under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which could be said to be a rapid rise to fame.
Besides, most of the famous people in the early Han Dynasty such as Han Xin, Ying Bu, Peng Yue, Guan Ying, Zhou Bo, Chen Ping, Cao Shen, etc., lived a glorious life, either serving in the army or in politics. Each of them has shown the image of a great person and has been highly valued by the Qin court.
There are bright and beautiful ones, and of course there are also bleak and gloomy ones.
For example, the stubborn Zhang Liang, after being granted the title of master, went to the labor reform camp set up by the First Emperor in Qinling Mountains to sing "Labor is the most glorious". Another example is the Xiang family, including Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng, all received the same treatment as Zhang Liang.
In a word, Liu Bang, Han Xin, Xiao He and others in the Qin Dynasty, led by Qin Shi Huang, came to the Eastern Han Dynasty to watch the Han Emperor's abdication ceremony. The scene was simply too beautiful.
The subsequent processes of abdication and offering sacrifices to heaven went very smoothly. After all, Qin Bin always emphasized stability in everything he did. Under Qin Bin's influence, the cabinet officials gradually became like this. Therefore, these processes, which had been prepared and rehearsed several times a few months ago, would certainly not encounter any problems.
Even Liu Xie took every step very seriously and cautiously. Of course, Liu Xie was simply afraid that if he messed up, his brother would beat him.
This is not just talk, his brother, Qin Bin, will really beat him up.
For example, a few days ago, when he was on a "secret visit" and walking on the streets of Luoyang, he suddenly became curious about a brothel on the side of the road. He ignored the persuasion of his entourage and insisted on joining in the fun. He even played a round in the small gambling house in the brothel. Then, when he returned to the palace that night, Qin Bin beat him with a willow branch, and after the beating, he was lectured for almost two hours like chanting a sutra.
This was not the end. His followers arranged by Qin Bin, who took care of him as if he were a family member, were all sent to a week of hard labor as punishment because they failed to stop him in time. He was also confined to his house for a week.
From then on, Liu Xie knew that he must never touch brothels and gambling houses, otherwise his brother would really beat him to death.
In short, Liu Xie was very cooperative and completed the entire abdication ceremony very seriously. Although the old ministers of the Han court below the altar all looked gloomy, and some even wiped away tears quietly, if they saw Liu Xie bowing his head to worship the new emperor, with his face flushed with joy, they would probably be angry to death.
Regardless of what happened to Liu Xie and the old ministers of the Han court, Qin Bin received the mandate from heaven. After completing the formal ceremonies, he officially announced that the new dynasty would be named "Qin" and the reign title would be "Yongxing". He also appointed the empress and officials, and named Liu Xie the Duke of Yongkang. He then issued a general amnesty (only for minor crimes) and the whole world celebrated.
Without going into details about the subsequent parades, celebrations, state banquets, etc., on the next day, Qin Bin held an offline state meeting with all the heads of state in the Wanjie group.
The theme is the new construction of Yuqin. The workload of 200 million people entering the industrialized society is huge and requires the strong support of all modern Chinese.
Yuqin?
Qin Bin's courtesy name was Jun Yu, which means "a gentleman is like jade". To distinguish himself from Qin Shi Huang's Ying Qin, Qin Bin called himself Yu Qin.
Naturally, the Grand Commander of Old China and other modern Chinese leaders have been waiting for this moment.
After all, modern China has a core problem of serious overcapacity. Now there is a superpower with a population of 200 million and almost no modern infrastructure, and even a complete medieval earth is right in front of it. It would be strange if people were not greedy.
Yes, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is only a matter of time before Yu Qin unifies the earth.
However, Qin Bin did not open up the market with his eyes closed. Instead, he gave relevant conditions that must help Yuqin establish modern industry and cultivate industrial talents.
And this condition is actually not a big deal. After all, the moment Yu Qin was established, its relationship with all the countries in the Ten Thousand Worlds Group was maximized. It is a super brotherhood that is even more solid than an alliance, so all the great leaders of China will have no objection at all.
After preliminarily finalizing the various industrial aid projects for Modern China, Qin Bin handed over the discussion and implementation of the next specific matters to the cabinet.
As Qin Bin's first prime minister for a period of twenty years, Zhang Juzheng will be in charge of all modern industrialization plans.
Whether he can be re-elected twenty years later depends on Zhang Juzheng's ability.
Zhang Juzheng had modules such as modern professional politician and industrial and commercial expert, so he was of course very familiar with modern politics and economics. The ministers of the economy, industry and other related departments under the cabinet also all had modules of modern politician and related professions. So soon, they started "hawing" with various official industrial and commercial negotiation delegations of China. The "lively" and "tense" scene made Qin Bin smack his lips in amazement, and at the same time he was glad that he had always insisted on letting professionals do professional work instead of making a fuss on his own.
While Yu Qin was proceeding step by step and entering a stage of great development, Qin Ling on the Eternal Continent also entered a period of great development.
As for the chaos in the Eternal Continent, it is gradually calming down.
It was mainly because of the trump card Qin Bin showed at his wedding that made the eastern countries of the Eternal Continent doubt their lives, and then the orcs gradually calmed down. In addition, it was not known whether it was instructed by the gods or something else, but under the leadership of the orc high-level officials, the various tribes of the "Justice League" where the orcs were located gradually stopped all military actions. In addition to conducting strategic contraction, they also began to encourage civilians to trade with the Kana Empire, intending to ease relations with the Kana Empire.
However, this is all superficial. In reality, each tribe in the "Justice League" is building temples and shrines, and there are frequent rumors of the apparent holiness of various legendary gods. For a time, the religious atmosphere within the orcs and other eastern tribes is much stronger than that of the western continent.
Needless to say, this is the prelude to the Protoss launching a new round of 'games'.
In other words, the God Clan did not give up their original pace because of this, which means that there is still a possibility of war between the group led by Qin Bin and the God Clan at any time.
The only thing that made Qin Bin and others feel a little relieved was that during this period, the Life Elves and the religious forces within the Kana Empire were very quiet, and they all looked like they were trying hard to be invisible.
This clearly shows that the gods do not want to overly provoke Qin Bin for the time being, so they try not to touch those countries and races that are related to Qin Bin.
Faced with this situation, Qin Bin had many discussions with the Dragon King, Kana King, and the Elf King, but they could not come up with a friendly solution.
The main reason is that they don’t have the real confidence to fight against the God-Emperor.
Of course, the situation is still good for now. After all, Qin Bin’s various actions during the wedding did scare the top leaders of the gods, otherwise the religious forces within the elves and Kana would not have been dormant. This has won Qin Bin and others time to continue to accumulate strength.
The way to accumulate strength is not complicated. It is to manage one's own country well, vigorously develop the people's livelihood economy, promote modern industrialization and informatization, and transform more population into effective will-producing population, thereby greatly increasing the will-power benefits of each party.
This is true for the Life Elves, the Kana Empire, and Qin Bin's Yu Qin.
In other words, the dragon clan is a little special.
