In this situation, even with Ying Zheng's composure, he couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart. His chest heaved and his blood surged up. The deafening cry seemed to lift him up to the sky, and he could stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun and the moon.
Starting today, he, the First Emperor Yingzheng, has opened up an unprecedented world
Chapter 3 Ninety Yingzheng's County System
The enthronement ceremony was grand and mighty, and Qin Shihuang's appearance in the declaration was only a small part of it, and a lot of content was carried out besides it.After two or three hours, it was completely over.
This enthronement ceremony not only gave birth to the world's first emperor, but also opened a new page in the history of China with the establishment of the Great Qin Empire.
Yingzheng got his wish and became the first emperor, possessing the supreme status.
But at the same time, his work became more and more busy.
Originally, he was just a king of Qin, and he only needed to manage the country he inherited from the previous king.
But now that the six countries are unified, he is no longer the king of Qin, but the monarch of the people of the world.So there are much more things to deal with and consider.
Originally, he was a very hardworking king, and now he didn't even have many rest events. In order to urge himself to complete the tasks and avoid slack, he set a rule that he must review more than two hundred memorials every day!
But the most critical issue at present is not here.
For the establishment of a new empire, he needs to think about one thing, and that is what kind of system to use for management.
The State of Qin believes in legalism, so the system is naturally the most important thing, and there must be no sloppy.After all, once such a general direction is set, it cannot be easily changed.
For this reason, he specially asked Li Si, Feng Quji, Wang Wan and other important officials to come over to discuss the matter together.
After hearing Ying Zheng's questioning, Wang Wan was the first to express her opinion.
"In my opinion, the enfeoffment system has lasted for thousands of years, and it must have its irreplaceable advantages. The enfeoffment of the world in the Zhou Dynasty won the national fortune for 800 years, and our Great Qin should also learn from it."
His attitude is obvious, he supports the continuation of the enfeoffment system, and believes that this can better maintain the stability of the country.
But at this moment, Li Si raised a different opinion.
"Your Majesty, I think the enfeoffment system is inappropriate."
Ying Zheng heard the words and said, "If there's anything wrong, it's okay to speak up."
Li Si went on to say: "Zhou Wenwu enshrined many children with the same surname, and then they were alienated. They attacked each other like enemies, and the princes even punished each other. The emperor of Zhou couldn't stop it, and then the Zhou family fell apart."
Li Si's meaning is also very clear. He feels that although the Zhou Dynasty has existed for 800 years, the implementation of the enfeoffment system gave the princes and kings too much power.
Coupled with the fact that the emperor lives in the palace, it is difficult to effectively manage and restrain the princes, which will lead to different forces attacking each other and causing chaos.
Once you can't control the princes you enfeoff, you may even endanger yourself.If some princes develop too strong, or unite with each other, the consequences will be disastrous.
King Zhou Wu led eight hundred princes to crusade against King Zhou, and finally destroyed the 600-year-old Shang Dynasty.The Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period were too powerful, causing Zhou Tianzi to exist in name only.
Daqin cannot repeat such mistakes.
Hearing what a few people said, Ying Zheng looked serious, thinking slightly in his heart.
And the few people on the opposite side didn't say anything more, they just expressed their opinions, and the final decision was still in Ying Zheng's hands.
After a while, Ying Zheng said, "What Li Qing's family said is very much in line with my wishes."
After the words fell, it was considered a conclusion at this time. Since the emperor agreed with Li Si's meaning, then he had already made a decision to abolish the division of feudal counties.
Hearing this, Li Si's eyes lit up and he continued: "Your Majesty can divide Kyushu into counties and counties, and send appropriate officials to each area to manage them. As for these people, you will appoint them yourself, and no one else can make adjustments." .”
"And you can only give officials the right to manage, but not the right to rule, so that they can't disobey your orders and cause trouble."
Hearing this, Wang Wan said, "If you don't give them the right to rule, they will have no prestige. Then how can you manage the place well?"
Li Si replied: "The local officials are just working for His Majesty, they don't need prestige, what they have to do is to spread the prestige of my Great Qin to everyone's heart, and the people can only believe in His Majesty.
If every subject is in awe of Great Qin, then naturally there will be no more chaos.Conversely, if each locality operates independently, people will be confused instead. "
After answering the other party's question, Li Si continued to share his thoughts.
"Regarding the specific structure of the country, I already have a plan.
In order to facilitate management, Chen thought that hierarchical management could be adopted.Divide all regions into four levels.Li, Pavilion, County, County.
The county has a county guard, a county magistrate, a county lieutenant, a county supervisor and a censor, and the county guard is in charge of the subordinate counties and roads.The county has a county magistrate, a county magistrate, and a county lieutenant, and the county magistrate is in charge of the subordinate townships.
The township has a rank, the township assistant, the township traveler, the township three elders, the township soldier, and the township has a rank in charge of the subordinate pavilions.The pavilion is set up with the head of the pavilion, the assistant of the pavilion, the marquis of the pavilion, the thief, the father of the pavilion, the soldier of the pavilion, and the chief of the pavilion is in charge of the subordinates.
The head of the pavilion manages all the subordinates, and there are Lizheng, elders, Du Zai, Lijianmen, Lizu, and Lizheng are in charge of the subordinates.Shichang, Wuchang, Shichang is in charge of ten subordinate families, and Wuchang is in charge of five subordinate families. Within Shiwu, each family pickets each other.
Progressive layers like this can allow the country to maintain a greater degree of stability.
In addition, in order to avoid the excessive power of local officials, the form of decentralization can be adopted to make them check and balance each other.
For example, the highest official in a county is the sheriff, but in addition to the sheriff, we can also set up other positions.
The county magistrate is in charge of administration, the county lieutenant is in charge of military affairs, and the censor is in charge of inspecting officials.In this way, each perform their own duties, not only can avoid confusion at work, but also allow officials to restrain each other and prevent one party from taking the lead. "
Hearing these words, Ying Zheng nodded slightly, and asked again: "Now our Great Qin has a vast territory, if we divide it into counties, there may be dozens of them.
So how do the sheriffs of these counties manage it? "
Li Si said: "I believe that officials like county guards and county lieutenants are still big officials, so they should be under the unified jurisdiction of the central government.
For example, if the minister is the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, he can manage various regions through the county guards, while the Taiwei restrains the county lieutenants, and the censors in various places are supervised by the doctor censor.And we and the other three are naturally directly under His Majesty.
In this way, the responsibilities of officials at all levels become clear, which not only greatly improves the efficiency of work, but also facilitates management and control.
At that time, all the power will be concentrated in the hands of His Majesty. As long as you give an order, all counties in the world will obey, and every corner of the country will be under control.
Your Majesty is the absolute ruler of Great Qin, and the entire empire will run according to your wishes..."
Chapter 391 Unification of Metrics and Tracks
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face.
The reason why he wanted to ask other people was not that he didn't have any ideas in his mind.
On the contrary, Ying Zheng is a very assertive person and has a good habit of coming up with a solution every time he encounters a problem. As for what others said, it is just a reference.
Even if what others say is right, he will think it over carefully and then incorporate his own opinion.Only in this way can we always take the initiative and not be led by the nose by others.
However, Li Si's words just now coincided with what he thought in his heart.He is not a person who likes to stick to the rules, and prefers drastic reforms like Shang Yang's than blindly sticking to the rules.
History has proved that there are huge loopholes in the enfeoffment system, so how can he continue to use it?
And Li Si not only expressed his thoughts, but also made a specific plan to arrange everything properly, which is really good.He did not choose the prime minister wrongly.
