Chapter 78 I want to know who is Pei Gong?
"The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Punishment are the same. Some of their powers should be retained in the Shangshu Province, but the collection of taxes and appropriations must be independent and can no longer be retained in the Shangshu Province."
Ying Zheng listened while listening. After thinking about it, he understood Li Nian's intention to cut off other powers of the Shangshu Province and make it an agency only for handling government affairs.
Li Nian continued: "The six departments must also be dismantled and subdivided. The Ministry of Households is in charge of household registration, land, marriage, and heirs, as well as the world's taxes, money and food allocations. It is also too much. Complex! ”
"Taxes are the source of national finance and are extremely important. They should be strictly managed. I believe that a separate department for collecting taxes and approving cashiers must be established, parallel to the Ministry of Household Affairs, rather than under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs."
Ying Zheng said: "Is this the practice of later countries?"
Li Nian nodded and said: "Yes! Later countries attach great importance to taxes. Whether they are fighting against other countries or doing domestic governance, they all need taxes. Endowment as a guarantee. It is money and food, and the way for the country to obtain money and food is to collect taxes. "
"Collecting money and food is important, and accounting for money and food expenditure is naturally important, so I think it is necessary to set up a special department for verification to prevent expenditure. Excessive, there is People are corrupted."
Ying Zheng could not deny it. Li Nian continued: "The scope of the Ministry of Rites is also too broad. If the king intends to establish imperial examinations in the Qin Dynasty in the future, he can take over the authority of schools and imperial examinations. Split into a teaching department or teaching department The Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Rites are both responsible for receiving envoys from other countries, and they can also be separated into a Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
After a long time, Li Nian finally finished speaking: "The above is my humble opinion, which I combined with later generations. Thinking.”
Ying Zheng said helplessly: "According to what you said, the powers of the three provinces and six ministries can indeed be weakened, and the powers and responsibilities of each ministry can be made clearer, but the number of officials needed..."
With so many departments, Da Qin How many officials are needed?
It is completely inconsistent with the current reality of Daqin!
Moreover, during the operation process, what if the rights and responsibilities of each department are made clearer, so that each other can act in accordance with the rules and regulations?
If any system can run perfectly according to the designer's ideas, it will naturally be very effective, but how is it possible to implement it in practice?
Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty also wanted everyone in the world to perform their duties and work in their own professions, so that his Ming Dynasty would last for thousands of years. However, problems arose within a few generations.
Which one of the Tang Dynasty’s military household system and the Ming Dynasty’s military household system is not temporarily advanced?
However, when later generations talk about the decline of the Tang Dynasty, the collapse of the military system is not often mentioned.
Thinking that there were not enough people and officials were needed, Ying Zheng suddenly looked at Li Nian and asked: "Maybe you can recommend some available talents for me? This question shouldn't be difficult for you, right? You come from later generations and know History, we must know who can be used by our Great Qin?”
He is here after all!
Li Nian sighed silently. He had been unwilling to take the initiative to mention this issue.
Because answering this question may make some people die.
For example, if Ying Zheng learns that Han Gaozu's name is Liu Ji and his home is in Zhongyangli, Peifeng City, will he immediately send people there to kill Gaozu?
Like Zhang Liang, the eternal sage who hated Qin deeply and personally participated in the assassination of the First Emperor. Will the First Emperor kill him after learning about his deeds?
Li Nian still has a very favorable impression of Gaozu, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, who has sought saints through the ages.
Therefore, the First Emperor didn't ask before, and Li Nian didn't take the initiative to mention it. But now that the First Emperor asked, Li Nian knew he couldn't avoid it.
"The Duke of Pei was able to establish the Han Dynasty, and he must have many talented people under his command. Why don't I tell you about it. Let's start with the Duke of Pei. I want to know who he is?"
Li Nian took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and said bravely: "In the fifty-first year of King Zhao, Pei Gong was born in Zhongyangli, Peifeng City."
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, how many years ?
The fifty-first year of King Zhao?
Could it be that Peigong, who founded the Han Dynasty, was about the same age as him?
He originally thought that Napei Guild was much younger than him, but he didn't expect that he was from the same era.
According to what Li Nian said, he died in the thirty-seventh year of the First Emperor, which was forty-nine years old. Pei Gong was also forty-six years old at that time. How could this man establish Nahan and become the master of the world at such an age?
He is truly an incredible person!
Li Nian continued: "Pei Gong's surname is Liu, with the given name Ji. According to historical records, Pei Gong was long-looking, with a beautiful beard and beard, and seventy-two sunspots on his left thigh. He was kind-hearted and caring by nature. He is generous and charitable, has a free and open-minded personality, is informal and generous. ”
“But he didn’t like to engage in agricultural production and was often scolded by his father. In his early years, he had conflicts with his sister-in-law because he took people to live as food.”
Historical records said by Li Nian Everyone seems to be saying good things about Pei Gong, but the more Ying Zheng listens, the more he feels something is wrong. Why does Pei Gong sound like a market scoundrel?
Can such a person conquer the world and replace Da Qin in his place?
Ying Zheng frowned and said, "Does this Pei Gong look like a scoundrel?"
Li Niandao: "The king may not use 'like', but this is also the charm of Peigong. He is open-minded, flexible and flexible. He can mix with anyone and know how to make good use of them."
"Even if he builds Han Dynasty The same is true after becoming emperor. Not only can he sit high in the court and discuss matters with ministers, but he can also have a happy conversation with a small soldier without formality. "
" "Historical Records" once recorded an incident. Event: When Emperor Gaozu struck the cloth, he was hit by a stray arrow and suffered from a serious illness. Empress Lu came to see a good doctor. Emperor Gaozu asked the doctor, and the doctor said: "The disease can be cured."
Yu Emperor Gaozu scolded him and said, "I use cloth clothes and hold a three-foot sword to conquer the world. Isn't this destiny? The destiny is in heaven. What's the point of being a magpie?" So he refused to cure the disease and gave him fifty pounds of gold.
Ying Zheng was silent after hearing this, wondering what he would do if it were him.
The answer made the First Emperor even more silent, and he would probably accuse the doctor.
“At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Pei Gong was originally not strong, far inferior to the overlord Xiang Yu. He was defeated many times, but he was able to defeat Xiang Yu in the end. This is precisely because of these.”
“Pei Gong After he became emperor, he once discussed with his ministers why he won the world and why Xiang Yu lost it.
He once said: "I am not as good as Zifang in strategizing and winning a battle thousands of miles away." br>
I am not as good as Xiao He in controlling the country, pacifying the people, providing wages, and constantly supplying food.
With an army of millions, we will definitely win in battle and capture when we attack. I am not as good as Han Xin.
These three are all outstanding people, and I can use them.
This is why I conquer the world.
Xiang Yu had a fan that increased but could not use it. This is why I captured him. ’”
"Pei Gong also has many shortcomings. He is greedy for pleasure, lustful, shameless, disowns his relatives, behaves dissolutely, and has no manners of a gentleman."
"When he and Xiang Yu were fighting for world supremacy, he was hunted down and abandoned his son. Female, he and his children fled in the same car, but in order to escape He ran away and threw his children out of the carriage several times. He was indeed a scoundrel as the king said. "
Ying Zheng didn't think anything about abandoning his son and daughter, but he originally thought that he was a scoundrel. That Pei Gong should be one of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, but I didn't expect him to be such a person.
But then he thought about it and realized that Pei Gong was really an interesting person, more interesting than he thought. Ying Zheng was looking forward to the scene of bringing Pei Gong to Xianyang and meeting him.
As for the overlord Xiang Yu, Li Nian had mentioned before that he must be a member of the Xiang family. Thinking about it this way, these nobles from the six countries were not good enough. They were defeated by a scoundrel and conquered the world.
I have basically read all the messages from everyone, but the more I thought about it, the more confused I became. After thinking about it for two days, I decided to write it according to my ideas, and combined with the suggestions made by everyone, I tried to make changes as much as possible.
