Chapter 99: That bullshit executive deputy emperor of Da Qin, whoever wants to be treated as such!
While looking at the bamboo slips, Li Nian also saw the First Emperor stating to the ministers that the new plow and tofu were all made by him, refuting Li Si's statement.
Li Nian knew that when the First Emperor made this statement, he was demonstrating his trust in him.
What Li Nian was thinking about was the First Emperor's intention in saying his name at this time?
Could it be that the First Emperor intended for him to familiarize himself with the princes of Qin before he took the stage behind the scenes, so as to lay the foundation for him to join the government in the future?
It was okay to get acquainted with the Dukes of the Great Qin Dynasty. Li Nian was also very curious about these people whose names were left in history.
Speaking of which, after traveling to the Qin Dynasty, he saw two historical celebrities with his own eyes, one was the First Emperor and the other was Meng Yi. Like Guo Dian and the guards and maids who protected and served him, in history Not a word.
The Twenty-Four Histories are so vast that it is difficult to name the head of Guizhou. Whatever happened in the Six Dynasties was only a private plan.
Not to mention the head of Guizhou, so many officials in the past dynasties have not left their names. Those whose names are left in the history books are either evil people and traitorous ministers, or they are very famous heroes and loyal ministers. Generally, honest officials and capable ministers cannot leave their names.
The Twenty-Four Histories are too thin after all.
However, even if you enter the DPRK and participate in politics, you will definitely be in intrigues with others.
Li Nian doesn't like to scheming with others, and he doesn't think he can outplay the Dukes of Qin.
Instead of scheming with others, it is better to do more other things to improve life in Daqin. His paper has not been made yet.
Li Nian didn't pay much attention to Li Si's words. It was obviously sent to him intentionally by the First Emperor.
It was Li Si's behavior before and after that made Li Nian think of a sentence: 'Tingwei was arrogant at the front and respectful at the back, thinking about it makes people laugh! ’
Continuing to look through the bamboo slips, I saw that the First Emperor proposed to use Qin's soldiers to rule the world, and the fatigue that had arisen was immediately swept away.
Although this method still cannot perfectly solve the problem of the lack of officials in the Qin Dynasty, it is a compromise method similar to Wang Wan's enfeoffment of remote areas.
Qin soldiers who are given an official position by the First Emperor will definitely be regarded as an honor by the Qin soldiers and support the Qin Dynasty even more loyally.
Qin soldiers went to serve as officials in various places in the Six Kingdoms, which not only stabilized the place, but also brought the cultural customs of the Qin Dynasty and promoted the integration of the people of the Six Kingdoms and the Qin Dynasty.
But there are also problems and hidden dangers.
If Qin soldiers are illiterate, they may not be able to govern the place well, but this shortcoming can be changed.
These Qin soldiers can survive the battlefield and obtain military honors. They are definitely not stupid. If you give them a chance, they will learn quickly.
Another example is whether the Qin soldiers can get along well with the locals, or will they bully the locals by relying on their official positions?
The relationship between Qin and the Six Kingdoms is that of conqueror and conquered. When the Qin soldiers face the people of the Six Kingdoms, they may have a mentality of looking down on them and saying, "You are all defeated by us."
This kind of mentality may lead them to look down on or even insult the local people. However, doing so will intensify the contradiction between Qin and the people of the Six Kingdoms, and is not conducive to local stability.
The Dukes of Qin and the First Emperor also took this into consideration.
The method given by the Dukes of the Qin Dynasty was to conduct irregular inspections, strictly prohibit the law, and establish a rule to attack the nobility.
Irregular inspections are to secretly send people to various places to check the management situation, and report problems to Xianyang in a timely manner.
Of course, Da Qin already lacks officials, so there cannot be many people patrolling, and naturally it is impossible to patrol all places.
The law strictly prohibits that if a Qin soldier is found to have harmed a local official, he will be severely punished. The use of severe punishment to intimidate him is equivalent to beating him with a stick.
"Government, nobility and governance" is a sweet date. Qin soldiers can use their merits in governing the place as an upward ladder. That is, if Qin soldiers manage the place well, they will have the opportunity to be promoted to a higher official, and even enter the temple and become an important minister of the Qin Dynasty.
Li Nian believes that this set of operations can sufficiently reduce the harm caused by Qin soldiers when they are officials, unless they are neither afraid of death nor want to climb up.
The First Emperor also revealed a method in the bamboo slips that he did not tell the princes of the Qin Dynasty: he wanted to divide the princes into local places, and by evaluating the princes' management of the fiefdoms, he would force them to manage the places well. . ‘This is a combination of Wang Wan’s method of enfeoffment and Qin’s method of serving as officials! '
Li Nian thought to himself, and it was not difficult for him to see the purpose: This is to train the princes' ability to govern the country and pave the way for future overseas enfeoffments; to suppress the princes and appoint them The Qin soldiers who served as officials in various places did not dare to be too arrogant.
‘The First Emperor has listened to my words and wants to start training you young masters. ’
‘I wonder where Fusu will be thrown? Wouldn't it be Qidi Sanghai, Xiaoshengxian Village? Will Hu Hai also be released? ’
‘Is it possible that Fusu will be thrown out as a Qin soldier and let him go to implement his benevolent policies? ’
The more Li Nian thought about it, the more he felt that Fusu Hui was different from other Qin princes. He would not be entrusted to a local place by the First Emperor as a prince, but would change his name and surname and be thrown out as an unknown Qin soldier.
Reflecting on his thoughts, it was difficult for Li Nian to judge whether the measures taken by the Dukes of Qin and the First Emperor were effective.
Because this has never happened in history, but it is better than giving up control of these places directly.
Another disadvantage of using Qin soldiers as officials is that it may arouse the dissatisfaction of some "virtuous talents". They think that Qin soldiers are of humble origin and have little knowledge, so they are worthy of being officials to govern the world?
As soon as Li Nian thought of this shortcoming, he rejected it. How could this be called a shortcoming? It should be called an advantage!
Who would be a "virtuous person" who would have such thoughts? They are either nobles who think highly of themselves, or hypocrites who read books and think they are superior to others.
These people rely on their background and the opportunity to read and write to look down on the people at the bottom.
This situation also exists in modern times, such as some college students using lyrics to mock migrant workers for asking for wages.
This idea arises because they believe that their class is higher than others, and the world should be governed by people like them.
But the First Emperor used Qin soldiers to govern the place, and he clearly stepped on the faces of these people, and told the world one thing:
You don’t have to be a noble prince, or a learned scholar to be an official. , you also have a chance!
Did the Qin Dynasty’s class blockade improve in disguise?
Li Nian looked weird, and yes, the feudal emperor would indeed prioritize himself for the purpose of maintaining his own rule, but it did not mean that he would definitely side with the nobles.
Sometimes, out of profit considerations, the emperor would even restrict the nobles to benefit the common people.
Other than these, Li Nian could not think of many problems with this plan of using Qin soldiers to govern the place.
Did the First Emperor send this method to him to show off to him, or to remind him that pinyin and dictionaries should be put on the agenda?
After all, he once said that after paper is made, combined with simplified Chinese characters, pinyin and a dictionary, people can quickly become literate.
Regarding the method of making Qin soldiers become officials, Li Nian thought about it and added one thing: he could use the press platform to promote that the people of Qin and the six countries were all of Chinese blood and were all brothers.
Although this certainly cannot completely avoid the problem, it can reduce it a little bit.
After reading all the bamboo slips, it was already late at night. Li Nian walked outside the palace to take a breath and glanced at the Great Qin Palace under the night cover.
‘This is just to help the First Emperor check for leaks and fill vacancies, and evaluate the gains and losses. I don’t have to discuss matters with the ministers myself, and I have to work until so late. If I were to directly participate in politics, how long would I have to work? ’
‘Those emperors who can handle government affairs diligently every day for decades are really amazing. It is not easy for a monarch to become an emperor and achieve great things. ’
Just thinking about his experience tonight, Li Nian felt his scalp numb.
The bamboo slips that the First Emperor sent to Liuying Palace are certainly not all the government affairs he handled today, but only part of them.
But just this part has kept him busy until now. If all of them were sent over...
That bullshit executive deputy emperor of Da Qin will be whoever he likes. He will be a bully in future generations. I have never been so blessed.
The claw machine is very slow to code words. I will try the computer tomorrow. If it doesn’t hurt, I will still use the computer. Thanks for some great suggestions, some of which are used in this chapter.
