MTL - Getting Simulated By The Empress Is Not My Intention-Chapter 3 Simulate again

  Chapter 3 Simulation again

  【Simulation evaluation: failure. As a retainer, you offered a brilliant strategy, separated Shan Yu, and made great contributions. But this can't restore the fact that Qin State declined, Qin State is still going to perish. 】

  【Simulation reward: Washing tendons and cutting marrow. 】

  As the reward display ended, Zhang Beichen found that there seemed to be a trace of cool air entering his body, which made his limbs feel extremely relaxed, and his body, which was worn out by long-term overtime work and staying up late, seemed to have become stronger.

  The whole person is refreshed and conscious, as if he has been reborn!

   "Damn it, are the rewards in this game really worthless?" Zhang Beichen wondered.

   At this time, the game interface changed.

  【The novice tutorial is over. 】

  【Do you want to start the formal simulation? 】

  【In the official simulation, the rewards will be richer, but they can only be opened once in a period of time. 】

   "Let's go, after two rounds, don't talk about becoming an empress, King Qin didn't win!" Zhang Beichen made up his mind, "Even if we can't raise King Qin to become an empress in this simulation, we must take her down!"

  …

   "Formal simulation?" Ying Yiren held his breath in his heart, "This time, I must make a comeback!"

  …

  【The official simulation has started! 】

  Zhang Beichen gained his own identity, from [Commoner: Zhang Beichen] to [Commoner: Zhang Beichen].

  His character attributes have been improved because of the previous simulation rewards. So his character card has also changed from a white card to a blue card.

   "Not bad, at least the start is better than the first two rounds." Zhang Beichen began to think about how he should play this round.

   Needless to say, the first game was a complete failure. In the second game, although I helped to pacify Longxi, the other countries hadn't done it yet.

   "The key lies in King Qin. I can't do it alone. If I can meet King Qin in advance and let her change her strategy, it will be easier later." Zhang Beichen was thinking when he suddenly saw a prompt pop up in the game.

  【You were walking on the street, when you were interrogated by a small official, and learned that your name was Zhang Beichen, the small official took you away. 】

   "???" Zhang Beichen greeted, why doesn't this game play cards according to the routine, why does the plot of each game start differently.

  I was directly taken away this time, so will I be sent to the army again? That's too bad luck!

  【The little official brought you to the Palace of the King of Qin. You met the King of Qin. The King of Qin asked why you didn’t come to the palace to work for her? 】

   "???" Zhang Beichen was stunned, what's going on? Does King Qin know himself?

   Could it be that he became so popular just because he changed from a white card to a blue card? Obviously every game, the reputation will be reset, and my reputation is now zero.

   Besides, didn't she refuse to join the King of Qin before?

  【You responded that you have just arrived in Qin, and there is no way out. The king of Qin didn't embarrass you, but kept you and appointed you as a public servant. 】

  Official is the lowest title and official position in the Qin State. Zhang Beichen has no merit, and being directly appointed as an official is already extremely high treatment.

  【In the first year, you worked diligently in Qin Palace, and your ability improved. 】

  【You have been taught martial arts by the chief guard of the King of Qin, and you have successfully practiced, and your cultivation has reached the first level. 】

   "Sure enough! The ability of a subject can be improved." Seeing Zhang Beichen's attributes, Ying Yiren quickly sent several teachers to teach him.

  Zhang Beichen was dumbfounded, he was clearly here to handle business. As a result, King Qin sent people over every three days to teach horseback riding, archery, and other schools of thought.

  He studies all day long.

   "I didn't expect that after more than ten years of learning in reality, I still need to learn in the game!" Zhang Beichen was speechless, thinking that his attributes were improving, so he had to concentrate on studying.

  There were no accidents in the first year. King Qin and the people rested to restore their national strength.

  The next year, the problem reappeared.

  【Old Shanyu of the Rongdi tribe in Longxi saw that Qin’s national strength was weak, and was instigated by Yan and Zhao to launch a rebellion. 】

  Facing the rebellion, Zhang Beichen naturally offered his advice again.

  【You propose to the King of Qin to send secret envoys to use alienation tactics to mislead Lao Shanyu. King Qin appreciated your strategy very much, adopted your suggestion, and sent you to Longxi as an envoy. 】

  The next process is similar to the last time. When King Qin pacified Longxi, all countries sent troops to carve up Qin.

   "It's this point again!" Ying Yiren began to think about how he would break the situation this time.

  She did not rush to make a choice this time, but called a group of ministers to discuss together.

  At present, Qin State is still there, even the old clan is on the same front with her, and will not betray easily.

  【The ministers suggested that the cession of land and compensation should drive apart countries. 】

   Ying Yiren was still worried, so he consulted with Zhang Beichen. This time, she was worried that Zhang Beichen would be trapped in Rongdi again, so she asked him to come back early after finishing his work.

  【Zhang Beichen offers advice to you. He believes that the Six Nations Alliance appears to be united against each other, but in fact each has its own ghosts. It is better to promise a lot of benefits to one of the countries, persuade it to withdraw its troops, and at the same time send secret envoys to the Wei State to delay the King of Wei, and the Six Nations Alliance will collapse on its own. 】

   "This is still a rift, but rather than spreading the interests among the six countries, it may be a way to convince one of the countries by hitting the power." Ying Yiren adopted Zhang Beichen's proposal.

  【Zhang Beichen was sent to Wei Guo as a secret envoy. He bought the prime minister of Wei Guo with a lot of money and delayed the time for Wei Guo to send troops. 】

  【Jing Ping sent an envoy to the State of Yan, promised to make great profits, and the State of Yan withdrew its troops early. Upon seeing this, Zhao Guo also withdrew his troops. 】

  【The king of Wei saw that Longxi was pacified, and the two countries retreated. With the persuasion of the prime minister of Wei, he decided to accept Qin's cession of land for peace. The crisis of Qin State was resolved. 】

   "It's finally over!" Ying Yiren heaved a sigh of relief, this simulation, she finally made it to the third year!

   But even so, Qin became weaker after ceding land and paying compensation. After a few years, other countries still can't sit still and want to attack Qin.

   "It seems that we must work hard and find talents to help govern Qin." Ying Yiren began to issue new orders.

  【The treasury is empty, you decide to start from yourself, live frugally, and take the lead in donating property. Hundreds of officials and nobles donated money one after another, and you got a fortune. 】

  【You issue a royal decree to recruit talented people from all over the world to serve Qin, and all of them can be named officials and nobles. 】

   "By the way, there is also Zhang Beichen." Ying Yiren did not forget Zhang Beichen. In the first two simulations, this courtier showed loyalty, and it was also because of Zhang Beichen that he was able to resolve the crisis this time.

  【You ordered Zhang Beichen to be a public official, in charge of seeking talents and governing the country. 】

   "It's a doctor! Haha." Zhang Beichen saw that his title had been raised by six ranks. There are twenty ranks of titles in Qin State, from low to high, and the seventh rank is Duke.

  Became a public official, Zhang Beichen has more room to operate. He first specified the content of Ying Yiren's recruitment order.

  Let all scholars have to pass the exam first before they can enter the recruiting hall, and they are in charge of eating and drinking. If they become officials, there will be a probationary period of one to three years. If the probationary period fails, they will simply leave and not be given a title.

  Official positions and titles will only be granted if the probationary period is acceptable. In this way, many people who fished in troubled waters were eliminated, and King Qin also saved money.

  【In two years, the Recruitment Order has begun to bear fruit, and Qin has regained some vitality. But compared to other countries, it is still weak. All countries are eyeing Qin, you have to send a lot of gold and silver money to countries every year. 】Ying Yiren felt that it was too difficult for him. In the past few years, he has been saving money and food. Even his favorite wine has changed from three meals a day to one meal every three days.

   Just like that, Qin Guo still looked half dead. Spending money to buy peace can't buy it for a few years. In recent years, the appetites of the surrounding countries have grown, and money can hardly satisfy them. It is estimated that in a few years, the women of Wei Wang, Chu Guo, and Zhao Wang will not be able to bear it again, and the coalition forces will attack her!

  Ying Yiren decided to hold a court meeting to discuss the matter with the ministers.

  【The ministers and generals agreed that Qin was weak because of the loss of a large area of ​​territory. The army should be rearmed and lost ground should be regained. 】

  Qin Yiren also thinks so. In fact, before her, her father-in-law also went to war again and again. The old clans, generals, and nobles also relied on wars to obtain fields, population, and titles.

  So once the Qin State has strength, they will promote the war, but the more they lose, the less they win, which makes Qin become poorer and weaker as it fights.

   Zhang Beichen saw it, why did he want to fight again? The state of Qin finally recovered a bit of vitality, and these courtiers urged the King of Qin to launch a war. If there was a real fight, it might perish again.

  So, he hastened to remonstrate.

  【Governor Zhang Beichen remonstrated that the national strength of Qin is not enough to support the war, and its military strength is not comparable to that of Wei and other countries. He believes that Qin should carry out reforms, implement new policies, and only consider war after reforms and strengthening. 】

  【The ministers accused Zhang Beichen, thinking that Zhang Beichen was bloodless and afraid of the nations. Xiangguo Meng Yuan proposed to dismiss Zhang Beichen. 】

  Ying Yiren took a look, good guy, you old **** still want to dismiss my love minister? In the last simulation, it was you who led people to rebel, or Zhang Beichen endured the humiliation and avenged the widow!

  【You decided to adopt Zhang Beichen's suggestion and make reforms to improve yourself. And appointed Zhang Beichen as Zuo Shuzhang to preside over the reform. 】

  The title of Zuo Shuzhang was raised by another three levels than that of the Duke, and Zhang Beichen was promoted again.

  【You promoted Zhang Beichen to preside over the reform, which aroused dissatisfaction from the courtiers and the old clan. They began to obstruct Zhang Beichen's reform openly and secretly. 】

   "Finally we can get down to business." Zhang Beichen has not been idle during this period of time. He has investigated all aspects of Qin's information and discovered the problem of Qin's weakness.

   That is, the old clans represented by Meng Yuan and others occupied a large amount of land and population, while the Qin State was warlike. Every war made the people poorer and the wealth was further occupied by the old clans.

  So Qin is getting poorer and weaker.

  If you want to make Qin strong, you must reform. Return the land to the peasants while freeing the slaves, increasing productivity and increasing the population.

   In addition, we must find ways to weaken the strength of the old clans. This will inevitably touch their interests and attract their counterattack.

  【You tried to implement the new law, but because the implementation of the new law failed several times before, the people did not trust the new law, and it was difficult to implement the new law. 】
