Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 213 Returning to the country today, Guanjian is in charge! (seeking subscription)

It has been a few days since the Lichu Dynasty will end.

However, the courtiers were silent about the establishment of the reserve this time.

It seems that there are doubts in my heart.

the other side.

After Fusu and others left Jiuyuan, they embarked on the journey to return to the country, and the atmosphere on the way was very brisk.

The longer he stayed in the army, Fusu became more and more extraordinary in Qin Jun's temperament, and he also deeply understood the painstaking efforts of his father to let him get acquainted with the Meng brothers.

In all fairness.

When a young man is growing up, it is a great fortune to be able to learn from someone like Meng Tian and to be able to experience in the mighty army.

Just thinking of these, Fu Su secretly frowned.

Meng Tian is his foreign teacher, but he never claims to be his foreign teacher, he is dedicated to the country, but when the Huns harassed the border, his father sent Meng Tian to lead the army, and it took several years to go north, but during these few years, he I don't know how to get along with Confucian scholars.

Looking back now, I have mixed feelings in my heart, and I can't tell what it feels like.

This kind of emotion didn't last long, and Fusu's mind was devoted to understanding the army again. This trip to the army gave him a solid understanding of the Daqin army, and a more detailed understanding of the situation at the bottom. Mastered, I was even more convinced by what Ji Heng said at the beginning.

This is the greatest significance of this trip.

The straight is long.

It also took seven or eight days from the time he set off to return to Xianyang, and Fusu felt very tired after the journey.

After bidding farewell to Meng Tian and Li Xin, Fu Su went straight back to the palace.

The eunuch Wei Sheng had been waiting outside the hall early on, and when he saw Fusu coming back, he quickly greeted him. At this moment, Fusu was not wearing a prince's uniform, but a military leather armor and a black cloak with gold threads.

"My minister, Wei Sheng, congratulations, young master, congratulations, young master." Wei Sheng knelt down on the ground, his eyes couldn't hide the excitement.

heard.

Fusu was startled.

He looked at Wei Sheng curiously, and asked in confusion: "What are you congratulating? What are you congratulating? Why can't I understand?"

He didn't lie.

He has been in the army and knows little about the situation in the court. After receiving the edict, he has been busy on his way and has not received any news halfway.

Wei Sheng said excitedly: "Young master has been busy on the road these few days, I'm afraid I haven't heard the news."

"Your Majesty has decided to appoint the young master as the heir."

"I congratulate the young master."

Wei Sheng bowed again.

"Father has decided to establish a crown prince?" Fu Su was taken aback for a moment, and then his heart froze, and he said solemnly: "Wei Sheng, you can't talk nonsense, where did you hear the news? And who told you."

Fusu looked cautious.

Wei Sheng looked at Fusu suspiciously, and seemed to find that Fusu really didn't know about it, so he could only cup his hands and said, "My lord may not know something, but five days ago, His Majesty held a court meeting, and the content of the court meeting was discussed. It was a matter of establishing the crown prince, at that time, hundreds of courtiers in the Manchu Dynasty discussed it, and finally decided to establish the crown prince."

"I thought the young master already knew about it."

"Just looking at the young master's appearance, it seems that he is completely ignorant, but this minister is a little unclear."

Wei Sheng told the truth.

Immediately, Wei Sheng seemed to realize that his words were inappropriate, and hurriedly added: "Your Majesty must have been busy on his way at that time, so the court did not report this matter to you, and His Majesty's official report has not yet been issued directly. It's normal for the young master to not know."

"It's just that this matter has already spread in the palace and in the city."

"How dare the minister fool the young master?"

Seeing Wei Sheng's serious face, Fu Su was a little convinced, and he was very surprised by this, but more of it was a deep sense of uneasiness and apprehension.

The word Chu Jun has extraordinary meaning.

This represents responsibility.

He is no longer the young man who was ignorant and ignorant back then.

In the past half a year, he has grown rapidly, and he has truly tasted the great responsibility and the weight of the world. In a trance, he even began to doubt himself.

Can you really take on the heavy responsibility in this world?

he does not know.

The only thing he knew was that in ten years, the state of Qin swallowed up the world, the country suddenly grew bigger, and the state affairs suddenly became more numerous. It's just the most superficial change, but the deeper change is far beyond the understanding of the people in the world.

The vast majority of people in the world, as well as my former self, only see the emperor's incomparably sacred power and halo, but only when we truly understand this country can we realize how crude this idea is.

The great expansion of the country and the sudden increase of power are terrifying to the plunder of the monarch's energy.

It was only nine years since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, but he saw his father's rapid aging, and also saw his father's daily hard work. This kind of hard work is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Undercurrents in the world, courtiers' strife, etc., even if you are in a high position, you are also walking on thin ice.

He had never thought of becoming the crown prince once in the past, and he had even considered himself the crown prince for quite a while, but when the position of crown prince really fell to him, Fusu seldom had a shred of timidity and evasion.

Fusu looked at Wei Sheng, and said seriously: "Don't talk about the matter of the crown prince, my father's imperial edict has been officially issued, I am still just a son, no different from other younger brothers, and you don't want to make a fuss about it. As long as I know, I will be punished severely."

Wei Sheng said hastily: "I dare not."

Fusu entered the hall, just like Wei Sheng, his wife, concubine, and children were all congratulating in the hall, Fusu waved his hand in deep annoyance, motioning them to leave, just said that he was too tired to pay attention to these things, and said After that, I went straight to take a shower and change clothes.

half an hour.

Fusu changed into neat clothes.

He didn't stay in Lama Temple for too long, and went directly to see his father.

The news of Fusu's return to the palace had already been heard by Shihuang. Shihuang was not surprised at Fusu's arrival. He looked at Fusu calmly, nodded in relief, and said, "It's dark, skinny." Now, but leaner than before."

heard.

Fusu's heart felt hot.

It had been a long time since he had been praised by his father.

This time, for the first time, the first emperor put aside the almost never-ending desk affairs for Fusu, and also ordered a small banquet to be set up in the study for the first time, and chatted with Fusu while leaning on the couch tired and relaxed.

For father and son, Shihuang asked, Fusu talked.

Fusu told what he had seen and heard in the Jiuyuan army, including the defense and counterattack of the Jiuyuan army against the Huns, and also talked about what he had seen and heard at the bottom of the army, and also talked about himself All kinds of experiences on the way from south to north.

The atmosphere in the study is very harmonious.

After listening to Fusu's experience for a while, Ying Zheng asked with great interest: "You spent a lot of time in the local area this year. You once walked in the old Qin land and stayed in the desolate Beiyuan. Tell me, what is the current situation in the world?"

Fusu's face tightened, knowing that his father was testing him, he didn't dare to be careless in the slightest, after thinking about it in his mind, he said in a deep voice: "In the past ten years, the great cause of consolidation of China set by my father at the beginning of the founding of the country , has achieved initial results, the roads are smooth, business travel is dense, the river defenses are gone, the rivers and boats are densely packed, the fields and canals are unobstructed, the farming fields have improved greatly, and the road is full of vitality. There is no more chaos during the war. elephant."

Ying Zheng laughed and said, "Tell me about any shortcomings."

Fusu showed hesitation on his face, and finally said calmly: "Based on my minister's in-depth understanding of the local area, Daqin can only implement the affairs related to the court's major affairs. As for the practical matters related to people's livelihood, it is still very messy, and even there is no progress. , or little progress."

"Tell me specifically." Ying Zheng said calmly.

Fusu said: "My son went to the Beiyuan army during this period, and it was the first time I learned that the Great Qin abolished the currencies of the six countries and unified the use of Qin Banliang, but the number of Qin Banliang in the world is very small, and many places still circulate it. The currencies of the six countries."

"The problem of people's migration."

"Father's original intention was to let Guandong and Guanzhong complement each other, so as to eliminate the hatred between the two places, but the actual effect was not good. Because the number of old Qin people who migrated there was relatively small, they were bullied by the original people of the six places. Many old Qin people complained about the bias of local officials."

"There is a big difference between Guanzhong and Guandong."

"Otherwise."

"Population registration status of the six places."

"In the army, I talked with the soldiers at the bottom of the army from time to time, and I also talked with the corvée who built the Great Wall. Many of them were from the heads of Guizhou from the six places. I accidentally learned from them that the local powerful nobles used to hide a lot. population, and these populations are not registered on the household registration of Daqin."

"There are also problems such as land tax and corvee in various places. The output of grain varieties in different places is different, and the tax revenue is also different. However, local officials often use the highest land tax and corvee to collect, but the lowest is handed over to the court. Then There is a lot of profit to be made from it.”

"."

Ying Zheng listened quietly, his expression very calm.

Seeing this, Fusu's thoughts were flying, but he spoke very calmly. He said: "In addition to various practical matters related to people's livelihood, the specific ones are related to the reform of people's livelihood. Guanzhong and Guandong are actually two systems in parallel."

"Local officials have great discretion. At the beginning, the imperial court asked them to follow the actual situation and make the most beneficial choice for the local area, but now it has become the private land of local officials. Through the differences between the two systems, they further Artificially create a gap between money and food, and seek massive benefits from it."

"The local head of Guizhou has suffered greatly from it, and it has also suffered greatly from it."

Fusu spoke very vigorously.

When it comes to emotion, he even dances and dances, unable to hide the anger in his heart.

For Fusu's agitation, Yingzheng didn't take offense at it, nor did he reprimand, but just listened lightly, and after Fusu had finished telling what he had heard, Yingzheng nodded lightly and said: "The people's livelihood is so difficult, In the past, the imperial court was relatively laissez-faire in reforming people's livelihood."

"But people's livelihood is not too important."

"At least it doesn't matter right now."

heard.

Fusu's pupils shrank slightly.

His eyes were full of shock and disbelief.

He was a little puzzled, why did the emperor say that?

Facing Fusu's surprise, Ying Zheng said indifferently: "You have talked with Ji Heng many times, and Ji Heng also told you a lot of truths, but did you once say that you want to solve people's livelihood?"
