EbookFREE.me, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the rise of the empire of the heavens and worlds!
In the sixth year of Genesis, on November 1, the sixth year of the first emperor, after the beasts were drawn into the Qin army, another major event happened in the empire.
An order from the top of the imperial capital directly made the government at all levels that had worked hard to become more busy.
Census!
Yes, it is the population census!
Since the establishment of the empire, it has merged two small worlds and promoted the local world into a small thousand world.
Not only that, the empire also captured a region in the world, with a population of at least tens of billions.
Coupled with the native population of the Great Qin world, the population of the land under the rule of the empire has reached a rather alarming number.
But for the specific number of people under the rule of the empire, no imperial minister can tell it, not even the enlightenment of the emperor of Qin.
The population is really too large to count at all, and the government at all levels in the empire did not spend much time paying attention to this seemingly unimportant matter.
However, in order to understand the true background of the empire, with a wave of Yingji's big hand, the imperial government at all levels in the Great Qin World and the Southern Territory launched a vigorous census operation and household registration operation.
One after another, imperial officials brought their entourages, wearing rosters, and went to count the population and set up household registrations in major states, counties and towns.
Even though most of the mountain villages in desolate and remote places were not forgotten by the empire, many empire officials who worked tirelessly to help register household registration and population statistics.
The entire operation can be said to be vigorous, with more than hundreds of thousands of officials from all levels of the empire.
Coupled with the availability of funds and the cooperation of the people, the demographic statistics and household registration plan are progressing smoothly, and there are no major twists and turns.
In another two months, in the Great Qin World, in the imperial capital of Xianyang Palace, Ying Ji held another small court meeting, with only seven or eight important imperial ministers present.
Its content is to report and summarize the vigorous demographic statistics and household registration establishment.
"Your Majesty, after the hard work of all levels of the empire, the empire's census and establishment of household registration have been successfully completed."
"According to statistics, the empire currently has more than 25 million troops in the Great Qin World, including more than 280 million people. The total population of the Great Qin World is more than 305 million."
"As for the statistics from Xuantian Southern Territory, the statistics are a bit scary. General Bai Qi's Second Dispatch Army has an army of over 60 million."
"Counting the population of over 13.3 billion, the total population is just over 13.4 billion."
"Together, the land under the rule of the empire has a population of 13.72 billion, and the potential for war is huge."
"Even if there are some remote places similar to the land of a paradise that are missed by some local government, the data can not be too much, the deviation range is no more than a million."
"Your Majesty, this is a population of 13.7 billion, which represents the great war potential of the empire."
At this moment, above the palace of Xianyang Palace, Daqin Zuo Xiangguo Shang Yang said, his words also meant joy.
Hearing that, Wei Ran, Lu Xun, Sun Wu and others couldn't help taking a breath.
Although they know that the population of the empire today is very large, a random check can find out a shocking data.
But I didn't expect too much.
This is not a matter of one or two billion, but a population of 13.7 billion, which is beyond imagination.
"No, the main world is, after all, a new world born through the integration of three worlds. It is not surprising that it has a population of over 300 million."
"And the South of the Profound Sky is after all a Middle Thousand World. Although it is the most remote and backward region of the Five Profound Regions, it is reasonable to have a population of over 13 billion."
"In addition to fighting strength, warfare must also be built, and population background is one of the most important."
"With a population of 13.7 billion, you guys, to what level can the empire develop to the highest level?"
Looking at the seven or eight imperial ministers in the Xianyang Palace, Ying Ji also said with a smile.
"His Majesty, with the resources and population controlled by the empire, coupled with the peculiar attributes of the empire, the empire can fully grow into an existence that can compete with the orthodox imperial movement."
At this time, Sun Wu spoke.
And everyone also took the lead.
Obviously, as the sage among the soldiers, Sun Wu's words are still very convincing.
"Well, if this is the case, then I will firm up my mind, refrain from fighting for a long time, and wholeheartedly enrich the empire."
"With only sharp claws, the day the Qianlong comes out of the abyss!"
Ying Ji smiled.
"Your Majesty, there is one more important thing that must be resolved quickly, otherwise the empire will not be able to fully develop."
At this moment, Wei Ran's advice aroused Ying Ji's attention.
"Waiting for anything, I order you to come here quickly."
Hearing Wei Ran's serious words, Ying Ji did not dare to take it carelessly, and took it seriously.
Seeing Ying Ji's performance, everyone was also satisfied. It seems that your majesty has not become exhausted because of the peace time of the past two years.
"Your Majesty, the empire has moved too fast in the past two years, and many problems have emerged."
"Take the number of states and counties in the empire as an example. In the past two years, the empire has established 67 states in the main world and two hundred and three states in the southern region of Xuantian. The administrative scale of a full 270 states."
"And each state has seven to nine counties, which is more than two thousand counties."
"Behind the huge administrative system is the lack of huge talents."
"Although the number of hundreds of thousands of the imperial government seems to be a lot, even if one county is spread to death, it can be divided into 20 or 30 people, even a county magistrate in the original imperial state."
"Now before the empire, there are more than two thousand county guards, and there are vacancies for tens of thousands of county magistrates."
"As for the positions of more than two hundred state shepherds, there is no shortage of them. Before, His Majesty issued an order to kill the enemy when he personally conquered the Xuantian Continent."
"As a result, the soldiers of the empire fought bravely and killed the enemy desperately, and a large number of outstanding men emerged."
"In addition, the empire already has a group of outstanding people, and the amount is considerable."
"And these people were also given the seal of state and animal husbandry and imperial documents according to their credit when the states and counties of the two circles formed their embryonic form, and they went to various state capitals to take up their posts."
"There are also people who are good at the army and remain in the army as the commander of the army."
"But your Majesty, there are so many prefectures and magistrates that have vacancies in the two government offices, it is impossible to let people in the army take charge."
"Some of these people may be talented, but they are a minority after all."
"More are ordinary soldiers with only a passion for marching and fighting, but they don't know anything about government affairs."
"I simply don't have the ability to serve as a local official. Forcibly driving the ducks on the shelves will backfire."
"It's so sad!"
Wei Ran also said bitterly, that the hardest meal to cook is undoubtedly that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
Obviously, Da Qin is now in a situation where it is difficult for clever women to cook without rice.
Upon hearing this, Ying Ji couldn't help but stunned, and then she gave a wry smile.
"Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that the empire's states and counties would one day be so large that the empire's talents cannot be supplied."
"It seems that the army is too capable of fighting, which is sometimes an annoyance."
Ying Ji rubbed her temples and said helplessly.
If it were to let some other dynasty masters know what Ying Ji's thoughts were in his heart, he would definitely scream and scream, and then waited to rush to choke Ying Ji to death.
Your uncle, people want their army to fight better.
It's okay for you, but you are too disgusted!
What virtue?
At this time, the imperial ministers like Sun Wu, Jiang Shang, and Shang Yang also showed bitter smiles on their faces.
They really had nothing to refute what the emperor said just now.
If it weren't for the imperial army to fight too much and the territory it had laid down too much, Daqin would really not face such a dilemma.
"Ugh!"
With a sigh from the court and the field, the helplessness of the Qin monarchs was exhausted...
