Prime Minister of Great Qin

The next day.

Ji Heng arrived at the Zhizhi Mansion.

This is the first time that I have officially entered the restructured government.

There are not many officials in the restructured government.

Many of their faces were somewhat reserved, especially those of Li Erlang and others, who had dark faces and looked very humble. They did not even dare to raise their heads to look at Ji Heng.

He looks like a common man.

Ji Heng sat down.

He took the initiative and said: "Today is the day when all the members of the Reform Office are here. As the name suggests, the Reform Office was temporarily established for the purpose of restructuring, and the system to be changed is naturally the current Qin system."

"The world has changed."

"The system should also change accordingly."

"This is the principle that the world has followed throughout the ages."

"If you don't know how to assess the situation and keep pace with the times, you will eventually be abandoned by the times and become the dust of history. Since the founding of the country, Da Qin has been diligently pursuing innovation and seeking changes in everything. This is why it is completely different from the Zhou system. world."

"However, the founding of the Qin Dynasty was still short-lived, and many systems were incomplete."

"It's not perfect either."

"Perhaps in your opinion, the system of Great Qin is very complete and has been verified for more than a hundred years, but this is one moment and not the other. Shang Yang's changes have certainly contributed to the rise of Great Qin, but today's Great Qin, It is no longer what it used to be, whether it is borders, population, etc., they have all been greatly improved compared to the past."

"And the system that Da Qin had in the past can no longer afford it now."

“Therefore, restructuring is imperative!”

"I know that you have many views and opinions on restructuring, and you also have your own opinions. I can accept and agree with this, but there is one thing that needs to be said first."

"If a major policy decision has been made, no one is allowed to question it, let alone obstruct it secretly."

"You just have to obey!"

"If you have any objection to this, you can leave directly."

"I will never stop it."

"But if you stay and do it in disguise, then don't blame me for being rude. The affairs of great government cannot be undermined by others. I have appealed to Your Majesty and requested that a sharp sword be made to kill the disloyal people in the government."

"I now leave the choice to you."

"Stay or go!"

Ji Hengduan sat at the table, looking down calmly, with nothing strange on his face.

Meng Yi, Zhang Cang and others looked at each other with firm eyes.

There's no way they're going to quit.

Before, Zhang Cang had plans and ideas to withdraw, but after learning that the Xiongnu went south, he changed his mind directly, because he realized that the restructuring mansion was the safest place.

Zhang Liang bowed his head.

There is no movement at all.

It was as if he turned a deaf ear to Ji Heng's words.

As for Xiao He and Chen Ping, they have seen the general trend of the world and will not waver at this time.

Liao Ke looked solemn.

He never thought about leaving, especially when the person in charge was Ji Heng.

There is no reason to leave.

As for Li Zuoche, Gongshu Rang and others, their expressions did change slightly when they heard Ji Heng's words, but after thinking for a while, they also chose to stay. There are not many opportunities in the world to break into someone's house like now.

If you miss it, you may never see it again.

At least to them.

Half a moment.

Everyone has made a choice.

No one left.

See this.

Ji Heng nodded with satisfaction.

He smiled and said: "Since you have all chosen to stay, I respect your choice. I have roughly browsed through the various bamboo slips you presented, and I feel that they are not systematic."

"It's hard to make it a rule."

"Da Qin pursues the rule of law."

"Dharma is the formula of the world and the instrument of all things."

"As the saying goes, there is no rule without rules."

"Since Shang Yang's reform, the Great Qin Dynasty has established a clear legal system early on. The most common among them are the six laws, namely the "Thief Law", "The Thief Law", "The Capture Law", "Prison Law", "Miscellaneous Law", " "Gu Lv", if we talk about other things, there are "Laws of Chuanshi", "Laws of Running Script", etc."

"Everything has its own rules and regulations."

"And the methods and ideas you submit are often very scattered and broad. Da Qin can't just make a big and unsuitable law just because of your suggestions, right?"

“A bit of everything, but not too much, just for one thing.”

"This would be a waste of administrative staff."

"It also consumes too much the attention and energy of the lower-level officials."

"Therefore this is not advisable."

"Not available either."

"What you need to think about now is how to create a new legal system with written rules and regulations that can accommodate the views and opinions you have put forward, and it is a complete and organized main line."

"Da Qin already has a "Legal Questions and Answers"."

"No need to have another one."

"What you have to do is create a new law!"

"A new law that is independent of the existing laws of Da Qin, a new law that can perfectly accommodate the various views and opinions you have put forward, and can even be supplemented and improved over time."

"That's what today's meeting is about."

After hearing Ji Heng's words, everyone was stunned.

Create a new discipline?
Does this 'Zhong Heng' really know what he is talking about?

The current laws of Da Qin are hundreds of years old. After hundreds of years of development, they are already very complete. How is it possible to create a new law based on the already perfect laws? How could this condition exist under the complete laws of Qin Dynasty?

Not only were Li Erlang and others confused by Ji Heng's request, but even Meng Yi, Zhang Cang, and Chen Ping, who were well versed in laws and regulations, were all at a loss as they were caught off guard.

A new law?

Is this really possible?
How can Da Qin have room to establish new laws?
Since Shang Yang's reform, the world's evaluation of Qin's laws has always been dense and complicated.

Qin's law is more complicated than autumn tea, and the net is denser than condensed fat.

In the eyes of many people, the laws of the Qin Dynasty are already more numerous than the tea flowers in autumn, and the laws of the Qin Dynasty are finer than solidified grease.

Under this rich and complicated law with complicated items and complex systems, a new law must be created.

Is this really possible?

The hall was quiet, no one said a word.

All of them had big heads.

Li Erlang and others really want to ask their palace master, do you really understand Qin Lu? Do you know how detailed and dense the laws of Qin are?
At this moment, not only Meng Yi and others looked in disbelief, Zhang Liang was also dumbfounded, shocked by Ji Heng's words.

It's really not surprising that it will never stop.

But this is too outrageous.

Even though he was an enemy of Da Qin in the past, he would never have imagined such an outrageous angle.

Looking at the stunned people below, Ji Heng secretly shook his head and continued: "Do you think what I said is a bit unbelievable, or even outrageous?"

"But you have to try."

"If you don't try, how will you know the corruption of Da Qin's laws and regulations?"

"I know the laws of Qin as well as you do. In a sense, the laws of Qin are rich and trivial, with complicated items and complex systems, and they control all aspects of the people at the bottom."

"However, many legal concepts in the Daqin Code are vague, and some provisions are repetitive or contradictory."

"In the era of great strife, other than Qin, they actually followed another method, that is, 'to punish a new country with light codes, to punish a country with chaos, use heavy codes', but Qin did the opposite."

"Before unification, the country followed the legalist ideology and ruled harshly and won the world."

"But after the reunification, the world was scarred, with hundreds of wastes waiting to be renovated, and the people were in urgent need of recuperation. However, the laws and regulations of the Qin Dynasty were still conservative and did not want to be flexible. They still continued to squeeze the people at the bottom and made the people at the bottom miserable."

"It comes down to it."

"It's because Da Qin's laws and regulations can no longer keep up with the times."

“And this is also the direction of restructuring.”

"What you really want to do is to break out of the existing Qin Code framework, while retaining the Qin Code's emphasis on law and deference to etiquette, heavy punishments and light crimes, and strict but fair and lenient interrogation. Under these conditions, A new law is re-researched, and then this law gradually replaces the old law.”

"Strict and fair, harsh and upright!"

"But I can't think that far right now."

"What you need to consider is from what angle you should establish the new law to accommodate the various regulations and systems of the restructuring."

Hear the words.

Everyone was thoughtful.

They already understood.

Ji Heng wanted to break out of the existing legal framework of the Qin Dynasty and retain only the most basic principles of Qin's laws. Under this framework, he would re-establish a new legal order.

But it's not easy either.

They live under Qin laws and are deeply affected by the existing Qin laws.

It doesn't mean that you can jump out just by jumping out.

And it was all so sudden.

They were unprepared.

I don't even know how to start.

Don't know where to start.

Be quiet for a long time.

Meng Yi said: "Please ask Mr. Zhong to give us some direction. This is all too unexpected. It is completely beyond our expectation and imagination. I really have no clue and my mind is empty."

Everyone also smiled bitterly.

They thought they were well prepared.

result.

When they really faced Ji Heng, they found that their preparations were far from enough, and the difference was so great that they were at a loss as to what to do.

Ji Heng frowned.

He has given these people a month to prepare.

But obviously.

They are not ready yet.

Ji Heng took a deep breath, calmed down, and said slowly: "In fact, you don't need to think so much. You only need to grasp one thing, which is what Qin Luzhi is."

"It's the law!"

"It's a military meritocracy."

"And why are the laws and regulations of Da Qin so complex?"

"It's because under the military merit and nobility system, it is clearly stipulated that the title is used to indicate the superiority, rank, and level. Each land and house are named according to the difference. The clothes of the ministers and concubines are based on the family. Those who have meritorious service will be honored, and those who have no merit will be honored. There is no luxury in wealth.”

"In order to differentiate, eventually the layers of distinction become complicated and complicated."

"The foundation of Great Qin is military merit."

"So if you want to establish new laws, you should start with titles."

"Out of Jue, but also better than Jue!"

"If the new law wants to break away from the old law business, it naturally needs to be born out of the military meritorious service, but it must be clearly distinguished from the military meritorious service, so I have only one idea."

"Split the title in two."

"A civilian title is a civilian title, and a military title is a military title."

"This is used to redefine status and treatment such as respect, rank, rank, etc."

"Open civil law!!!" (End of chapter)
