Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 455 Daqin is no longer the former Daqin
Xiao He was at a loss for Fusu's question.

However, Xiao He had an exquisite mind and quickly understood Fusu's intentions, so he told Fusu the truth about meeting Liu Bang's generals.

After Fusu heard this, he was secretly happy, but he didn't reveal too much.

"Since Mr. Xiao intends to do something practical for the people of the world, Fusu believes in Mr. Xiao's sincerity. As for their affairs, let me, Brother Kun, come back and deal with them!" Fusu said indifferently.

Xiao He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, cupped his hands and said, "Qin Wang is wise."

"Okay, if you are polite, there is no need to say more."

Fusu waved his hand and said, "To call you here today, there is one more thing, I don't know if it's feasible."

Zhao Kun once mentioned this matter to him, but he wanted to hear Xiao He's opinion.

Although Xiao He is also an old minister of Liu Bang, but with the previous incident, he believes that Xiao He should know current affairs.

But when Xiao He heard Fu Su's words, he was a little overwhelmed with thoughts.

Although the meeting with Cao Shen and Fan Kui was kept a secret, the people in Fusu found out about it.

This shows that I have not yet gained the trust of the Qin State. If I am not careful, I am afraid that it will be more or less fatal.

but
What is it?
He actually called himself here!
Is it related to the imperial examinations and newspapers?

With doubts in his heart, Xiao He cupped his hands again and said: Is the King of Qin talking about the imperial examination system? "

This Xiao He is really good, Fu Su looked at him, nodded and said: "Well, it has something to do with it, but now is not the time to discuss that."

After finishing speaking, he raised his finger and pointed to the table case: "Have you seen the mountain of memorials in front of this king?"

"This"

Xiao He looked intently, not knowing why, so he didn't speak.

Fu Su murmured: "I am a human being after all, with limited manpower, how can I always pay attention to this memorial?"

"And in this memorial, those that need to be dealt with urgently, those that can be put behind, but have not been separated."

"In this way, this king is very headache."

When the Qin State was newly established, Zhao Kun had the idea of ​​forming a cabinet, but Daqin had just stabilized, but he didn't implement it immediately.

Now that the Huns are shattered, the foreign troubles of Daqin have been resolved.

It's time to develop new ideas.

Fusu's question was exactly what Zhao Kun wanted to ask.

He didn't want to be locked in the palace all day to deal with government affairs when he succeeded to the throne. He wanted to arrange the cabinet team in advance.

But Xiao He was even more puzzled by Fusu's words: "Report to the King of Qin, forgive me for being stupid, I don't understand what you mean, can you express it clearly?"

This guy, it's just that if you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter an eagle!
Didn't Brother Kun say that before doing this, you should consult someone first?

Could it be that Xiao He is not suitable?

Do you want to find Chen Ping?

Forget it, let me remind you again, if it really doesn't work, then discuss it with Zhang Liang and Chen Ping.

Having made up his mind, Fusu went on to say: "This king wants to establish a government office dedicated to handling the national government affairs. This government office is independent from the prime minister's office. Its main duty is to review the national memorials and give opinions so that the emperor Focus on it!"

A government office independent of the prime minister's residence?
Could it be that King Qin intends to decentralize power?

If this is the case, the functions of the Prime Minister's Mansion may be greatly reduced, which is not necessary!

Thinking of this, Xiao He was taken aback, and asked with some concern: "Is the matter of the new government office too hasty?"

"The other thing is, when the courtiers handle affairs, will there be any concealment? If there is concealment and the emperor does not know, then there will be problems."

"Therefore, the King of Qin may have to establish a supervisory institution to monitor the review of the memorials of the new government office."

Hearing this, Fusu thought for a moment, and said: "Naturally, the supervisory organization will be established, so we will recruit people from the third division."

"Since there is a supervisory organization, it is only necessary to formulate a set of orders immediately."

Xiao He nodded and said: "There is a new government office to handle the national government affairs, and at the same time there is a supervisory agency to review. In this way, whether it is the King of Qin to supervise the country, or the emperor to handle the country's major affairs, it will be much easier."

"However." Speaking of this, he changed the topic, and continued: "Nowadays, there is a shortage of Chinese officials in the imperial court. It may take some time for this new government office to gather people to establish it." "

"Yes, Not Bad."

When Fusu saw Xiao He expressing his thoughts one after another, he couldn't help showing a satisfied smile.

At the same time, I couldn't help being surprised.

This Xiao He was able to think so comprehensively, and even roughly coincided with the contents of Zhao Kun's letter, he really deserves the talent of the country's prime minister.

With just one click, he can roughly come up with a complete idea.

Fusu is relieved that he will be responsible for forming the cabinet.

After pondering for a while, Fusu continued, "You're very good. I'll leave it to you to be responsible for the lack of people. You must be careful and don't let the wind leak."

Reform cannot be accomplished overnight, Fu Su is not stupid, and Xiao He is naturally not stupid either.

He cupped his hands solemnly and said: "King Qin, don't worry, I will finish it as soon as possible.

Fu Su nodded, suddenly remembered something, and added: "There is one more thing, what is the prime minister's opinion on this imperial examination system?"

Hearing this, Xiao He cupped his hands and said: "Back to the King of Qin, I feel that this method benefits the country and the people, and it is the gospel of poor students in the world, Your Majesty is wise."

"In that case, let's go down."

"Here."

Xiao He retreated as promised, and at the same time secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

From today onwards, he is truly entering the core of power.

Watching Xiao He leave, Fusu looked at the memorial in front of him, and began to review it again.

After all, before the cabinet was established, these memorials had to be reviewed by him. Looking at each incident, he thought of Zhao Kun again.

"Brother Kun, why haven't you come back yet!"

"There is no peace in any part of the country, there is famine everywhere, and there is not much food in the treasury today."

"The war has been fought until now, and the national treasury is almost exhausted, and the food stored before is almost wiped out, and the imperial court can't pay the salary now."

Thinking of these, Fusu felt a headache.

If this continues, Daqin, which has just quelled the civil strife, will have problems again soon.

We must first solve the problem of food and clothing for the common people.

Food and clothing are solved, and everything is easy to handle.

Now it is no longer possible to relieve the pressure on the people by reducing taxes. The current situation is to help them grow good land and harvest more food.

Ordinary people grow food just by looking at the weather. If the weather is good, they can get a good harvest. If the weather is bad, the whole family will have to drink northwest wind.

Thinking in his heart, Fusu put down the memorial and shouted outside: "Come here, send Qin Tianjian to the study!"

On the other side, Frequency Sun.

Ying Zheng and Zhao Kun's class returned to the imperial court, passing through Pinyang, and planned to rest here before returning to Xianyang.

At this time, Zhao Kun's mansion.

Ying Zheng and Zhao Kun were drinking tea and chatting.

"The cabinet you said shared the power of the emperor. Is this really beneficial to the governance of the country?" Ying Zheng sipped his tea and frowned.

Accustomed to holding power in his hands, he questioned the establishment of the cabinet.

Zhao Kun asked rhetorically, "Even when the father is governing, the prime minister's mansion still has the decision-making power. Doesn't this also share the power?"

"Even if the Prime Minister's Mansion shares the power, the main power is still in the hands of the emperor. The emperor alone has the final say on the country. Isn't that bad?"

"Okay, Erchen didn't say it's bad, it's just that I'm too tired."

"tired?"

Ying Zheng squinted his eyes: "The important national affairs are related to the people of Li, how can we abandon them because of tiredness?"

"Father, think about it carefully. When you held the power in your hands, how many memorials were reviewed in a day, and how many of them were really related to national affairs?"

Sensing that Ying Zheng's eyes were not kind, Zhao Kun did not admit cowardice, but presented the facts and reasoned.

Ying Zheng heard the words, but did not answer Zhao Kun.

Zhao Kun continued: "Whether it is the emperor reviewing the memorials, or the prime minister's office sharing power, the efficiency is not high. The cabinet is a group of people working together, which is equivalent to the emperor's think tank. The people in it are not involved in government affairs, but are only responsible for helping the emperor handle matters. "

"When the emperor needs them, he can also lead them to work together."

"Um"

Hearing the words, Ying Zheng pondered for a while, then raised his hand and said, "Go ahead"

"In addition to the reasons mentioned before, there is one more thing to establish a cabinet. I want to abolish the prime minister's office."

"Abolish the prime minister's mansion, why is this? Didn't you mean to establish an independent cabinet?"

Zhao Kun replied: "The independent establishment of the cabinet is just a measure of rights and interests. The future court structure will adopt a new department system. Although the Jiuqing system is pioneering, it is not rigorous. The greater the power, the more likely problems will arise."

"New department?"

"Yes, for example, if we want to discover business, we should establish a commercial department for overall management. For example, if we want to develop agriculture, we should establish an agricultural department."

"There are new departments such as the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Reform and Development, and the Ministry of Education."

"If these functions are refined, the power of the existing yamen will be greatly weakened."

Hearing about General Zhao Kun's new department, Ying Zheng immediately became interested, but just as he was about to ask, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Nanyue!"

at the same time.

In Nanhai County Wei's Mansion.

Zhao Tuo looked at the patriarchs of various tribes in Baiyue sitting in the hall in various strange postures in front of him, his face was extremely gloomy.

"Lieutenant Zhao, you have a good relationship with me, and Baiyue is deeply impressed, but the border is really not peaceful. You Qin people slaughtered my tribe for no reason, killing nearly a thousand people. Baiyue has always respected Daqin. Why did Daqin treat Baiyue like this?" A Baiyue patriarch spoke a half-understood Qin language.

Zhao Tuo looked embarrassed, and looked at this person: "The current Daqin is no longer the former Daqin, and I am helpless!"

"Hmph, Nanhai County is under the jurisdiction of the county lieutenant. We only recognize the county lieutenant and let the county lieutenant decide."

Another Baiyue patriarch said: "We must ask Qin to give an explanation!"

Hearing this, Zhao Tuo was secretly happy.

He had long intended to manage the Baiyue.

However, now that the Great Qin has re-established the Central Plains, it is time to destroy the old and establish the new.

The prince Zhao Kun has the tendency to be better than the blue, and secretly announced several major measures during the period of supporting the Soviet Union and supervising the country.

I heard that the entire Central Plains region has gradually stabilized under the governance of the two brothers.

Originally, Zhao Tuo planned to map it out slowly, secretly looking for an opportunity.

But the remnants of the Six Kingdoms were wiped out too quickly, and before he could make a move, Daqin resettled the Central Plains again.

Coupled with the news that Ying Zheng was still alive, Zhao Tuo felt a deep sense of crisis.

After all, when Qin was in danger, he did not send troops to rescue.

Nanhai County is located in the extreme south of Great Qin. The mountains here are far away from the emperor. In addition, it is separated by high mountains. For Great Qin, it is almost an enclave.

Here, Zhao Tuo has the status of an emperor.

If Zhao Kun and Ying Zheng hadn't plotted against the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, he would have had enough patience to slowly operate here and conspire against the Central Plains.

Even if you can't make a great achievement in your life, your children and grandchildren will always be able to wait for the opportunity.

He didn't believe that every king after the Great Qin Dynasty was as wise as the first emperor and Zhao Kun.

But now it is not possible.

Originally, when he was in Longchuan County, he adopted a gentle policy towards Nanyue, and complacently named it Heji Baiyue.

Otherwise, Baiyue and Daqin have hated each other for a long time, how could he send an envoy to bow down?

However, he has always done this kind of thing secretly, and has never been noticed.

Now that Xinqin keeps testing Baiyue, he has another plan. From this point alone, Xinqin and Zhao Tuo cannot reach a consensus.

So, Zhao Tuo simply stopped pretending.

He has already formulated a comprehensive plan. As long as it is implemented smoothly, it is not impossible to demarcate land for the country.

After all, 50 Qin troops guarded South Vietnam.

Baiyue hasn't been wiped out for more than ten years. When the time comes, he will rely on the natural moat in the north and face Xinqin, and he will not be powerless to resist.

The Baiyue people acted recklessly in Nanhai County, and he did it on purpose.

He knew what Emperor Shi Huang was thinking. What Emperor Shi Huang wanted was territory, and a group of natives were simply ignored.
If these natives can be manipulated to only recognize him, it is not impossible to become king.

Once the king is crowned, even if Baiyue recognizes the new Qin Dynasty, Zhao Tuo has the final say.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo secretly rejoiced, but said calmly, "Patriarchs, please be careful, this world is your Majesty's world after all. In the troubled times of the Six Kingdoms, Your Majesty and the Crown Prince will re-determine the universe, and the power of heaven is inviolable!"

Hearing this, a Baiyue patriarch suddenly appeared out of the crowd, looked at Zhao Tuo with piercing eyes and said, "Qin belongs to Emperor Qin, but Baiyue doesn't, and Nanhai County doesn't matter either!

The county lieutenant has been operating in the South China Sea for more than ten years, and he is well-known for his prestige. If it is better to plan for the South China Sea to stand on his own, the Baiyue clans will be the kings and look forward to it! "

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall instantly became audible.

The patriarchs of all ethnic groups look at me and I look at you, with inexplicable expressions.

Baiyue got this name because they lived in one place and originated from the same ancestral nation.

But the current relationship is not as happy and united as it appears on the surface.

The so-called poor mountains and bad waters come out of troublesome people.

The environment where Baiyue is located is harsh, and they don't do farming, so the living resources are actually very scarce.

For hundreds of years, various ethnic groups have fought endlessly because of this.

But this kind of hatred is nothing compared to a better life.

Why do they frequently harass the Qin people?
It is because the other party's production skills are much more advanced than theirs, and they can easily obtain food and other materials from the Qin people.

Qin people have always been arrogant and regard them as barbarians.

Even if they want to learn farming, no one is willing to teach.

In this way, their little thoughts are clearly revealed.
