Prime Minister of Great Qin

The court meeting ended hastily.

However, the targeting of officials in the restructured government has not ended. Compared with people from Guanzhong such as Meng Yi, Zhang Cang, Liao Ke, and Li Erlang, people from Guandong such as Chen Ping, Xiao He, Gong Shuzhang, and Qian Chan are now serving in the court. It is obvious that people speak lightly, so it became the focus of impeachment.

Chen Ping's past has been uncovered.

There was even a rumor that "Chen Ping stole his sister-in-law", which made Chen Ping black-faced these days. His brother did divorce his sister-in-law, and she did have a certain relationship with him.

But there is absolutely no such thing as a robber sister-in-law.

Moreover, his ex-sister-in-law was snobbish, unkind to others, and repeatedly made things difficult for him. How could he have a relationship with such a sister-in-law?
Absolutely ridiculous.

However, the rumors were so fierce that they could not be stopped at all. By the time Chen Ping knew the news, it had already spread a lot, which also made him angry for a long time.

Moreover.

Da Qin is very open about marriage and love.

How could such trivial matters be worthy of such publicity? It was clear that someone was taking the opportunity to cause trouble, disturbing his mind and forcing him to give in.

Xiao He and Gong Shuzhang both experienced encounters like Chen Ping's, but Xiao He was still good. After all, the previous Shangji Conference in the court rated him as the best. How could those in the court turn around and say that the original selection was wrong?

However, some private matters were widely publicized, especially the fact that he ran away without telling anyone and ran directly from Sishui County to Pei County and then to Dang County.

He was also criticized for a while.

However, although Xiao He was also deeply depressed, he did not pay too much attention to it. After all, these reprimands had little impact on him, but they had a significant impact on others.

Especially public transfers.

He is a descendant of Lu Ban, and he has some quarrels with the Mohist disciples. Although he is a descendant of his ancestors, he is somewhat difficult to deal with.

Now that the Mohist family is gradually gaining momentum in Guanzhong, they are also very ostracized and disgusted with him, and they target and impeach him in various ways in private.

He already had a low official position.

After being targeted in turn, I really couldn't stand it any longer. I felt depressed for many days, but I gritted my teeth and persisted.

Don't dare to quit easily.

But the whole person looked increasingly tired and embarrassed.

Qian Chan and others also had a hard time.

However, there is always some bottom line that they face, and what Zhang Liang faces directly becomes a stormy sea. All kinds of tit-for-tat confrontations are almost non-stop. Even on the way to the reform office, Zhang Liang will be pointed at all the time.

In this regard.

Zhang Liang knew it well.

Some people are invisible to reform.

It's just that you can't go against Fusu's words on the surface. You can only make some small moves in private to disturb his mind. These are trivial things after all.

The only thing that made Zhang Liang frown was one thing.

Ji Heng's appetite was too big.

As soon as the news of the new law came out, it was criticized in various ways, and many of the reasons were well-founded, and the court was very controversial.

In this regard.

Ji Heng ignored it.

It was just that many officials in the restructuring government couldn't stand such high pressure, and after confiding in Ji Heng many times, Ji Heng finally agreed.

Restructure the house.

All the officials originally scheduled for the Reorganization Mansion have arrived.

Chen Ping and others looked a little haggard, obviously they had been tortured a lot during this period.

At this time.

Li Erlang spoke up: "Mr. Zhong, the replenishment of officials in the restructured government has gone smoothly during this period. However, with the continuous replenishment of personnel, the dissatisfaction and controversy in the court have become more and more serious."

"The lower official also has doubts in his mind."

"Please sir, please clear me up."

Li Erlang bowed respectfully.

Ji Heng nodded and said calmly: "But it doesn't matter."

Li Erlang said: "Previously, my husband suggested that we should break away from the restrictions of the old laws and establish new laws. When I first heard the news, I was very excited."

"Xiaguan worked in Bashu in the past and has some understanding of the local situation. He knows that the Qin Law is actually overlapping and burdensome with the Education Commission in many aspects."

"Therefore, the innovation law is very recognized."

"But everything cannot be divorced from reality. Sir's idea is too crazy. Once the new law appears, the entire Daqin State will not be able to adapt to it."

"This will only create more unrest."

"I think your idea is inappropriate and too unrealistic. It ignores the acceptability of the officials and the head of Guizhou."

Hear the words.

Ji Heng's expression was slightly strange.

He thought Li Erlang would say something, but it turned out to be such a simple thing. He raised his eyes and looked down and said calmly: "You also have this confusion and doubt?"

Everyone nodded.

Ji Heng's face showed a hint of speechlessness. He shook his head and said: "I did propose the establishment of a civil law to divide the world's laws into two."

"But why did I ever say I would do it overnight?"

"We haven't set a date yet."

"I just want you to let go of your shackles and not be restricted by the existing laws and regulations of Daqin, so that your hands are tied. The civil law will definitely be introduced."

"But it won't be that urgent."

"It will only be done step by step. What you really want to do and what you should do is to fill in the aftermath of the 'disposal of family officials' within the framework of civil law."

"As for other commonly used laws such as thieves' laws and thieves' laws, why did I say that they would be introduced immediately? I did tell you what I said."

"But it's also for other people to hear."

"Let them know that Da Qin is going to change the laws, and let them be mentally prepared in advance to change all the laws as soon as they come."

"How can this be?"

"At most, we will start from easy to difficult, proceed step by step, and finally spend more than ten years or even decades to improve every aspect of the civil law."

"It also allows the people of Great Qin to have enough time to adapt and accept it."

"You are wrong."

After hearing Ji Heng's words, everyone's expressions turned pale, and their cheeks felt slightly red and hot.

They have reacted.

My understanding is poor.

In their understanding, Ji Heng wanted them to establish the civil law and then implement it directly. In fact, Ji Heng just asked them to let go of restrictions and show off their skills without restrictions.

In addition, the court officials also understood this, which ultimately made them feel deeply pressured. In fact, this was not the case. It was entirely because they were overthinking.

What Ji Heng wants is for them to complete the proposal and improvement of the guaranteed 'retirement system'. As for the rest, it is not involved at all.

Zhang Cang rubbed his temples.

He was also in a trance.

But Zhang Cang woke up quickly and quickly understood why he fell into this situation. It was entirely because Ji Heng's influence was too great.

In the past, Ji Heng just kept silent and became a blockbuster. So when Ji Heng said that the military and civilians were divided, he subconsciously took over the entire restructuring.

But practical.

This is completely misunderstood.

And it's so wrong that it's ridiculous and even ridiculous.

Because with Ji Heng's understanding of the world, how could he make such a big mistake, and how could he not know the impact of the new law on the world without knowing it?

He didn't even think about it that way.

It's just that they were frightened by those words, and then they believed them to be true.

Think of this.

Zhang Cang couldn't help but blush. He had rarely made such big mistakes in the past, but this time he made stupid mistakes one after another.

It shouldn't be true.

Ji Heng didn't say much about this.

Although I don’t know why these people take things that are obviously impossible to accomplish in a short period of time seriously, it is not very important.

His purpose has been achieved.

The explanation of the civil law was spread to the Qin court and the ears of all officials, but this was obviously not enough.

Ji Heng said slowly: "You have actually thought a lot about some suggestions and ideas about abolishing the tenure system, but you are not sure whether it will be passed in the end."

"Therefore, I intend to create a new Propaganda Department to publicize the restructuring to the people of Xianyang."

"Establish a newspaper office."

"It's called 'Blowin'."

"This is used to test the public's acceptance of restructuring and their attitude towards some new policy changes."

"For the selection of officials in the Propaganda Department."

"I personally choose Ying Gao, Ying Jianglu and others, and the newspaper's media uses paper made by Hu Hai."

"But you are responsible for all the articles in the newspaper. They will then publish, edit and distribute them, and finally collect the opinions of the people all over the world."

"This will determine the feasibility of the restructuring and its acceptance by the people all over the world."

"At the same time, we use the 'Buzzer' to constantly inform the world about the progress of Daqin's restructuring, so that they know the direction and content of the restructuring in advance, and then strengthen their recognition of the restructuring."

talking.

Ji Heng took out a "newspaper" from his sleeve. There was very little content on it. It only briefly introduced what a "newspaper" was, and then most of the positions were empty.

Meng Yi and others have already looked over.

Ji Heng casually handed the 'newspaper' to Meng Yi.

Meng Yi reached out to take it, and other officials also stood up one after another, crowded around Meng Yi, and looked at the newspaper curiously.

The advent of newspapers.

Zhang Liang was still a little surprised.

He and Ji Heng lived under the same roof. He had not discovered this thing before, nor did he know about it. He had not even thought that paper could be used for this purpose. However, when Ji Heng took out this 'newspaper', Zhang Liang couldn't help but be excited.

he knows.

This thing is so important for guiding people's hearts.

And this is also part of Ji Heng's "serving the people".

He did not rely on courtiers for all laws as in the past. Instead, he informed the people of a certain right of judgment and the right to know, so that the people could participate.

Although the opinions of the people at the bottom may not necessarily be adopted in the end, under the publicity of these newspapers, the people have undoubtedly had a process of adapting to the direction and content of the restructuring in advance.

This will obviously be of great benefit to the issuance of various laws in the future.

even
The dissatisfaction of courtiers can be skipped.

Meng Yi and others looked at the newspaper with a lot of blank space curiously, with various strange looks in their eyes.

Who are they?

From the first moment I saw the newspaper, I knew it was unusual.

Once it really spreads in the city, Da Qin's restructuring will soon be known to the whole world, and some of their thoughts and ideas on the restructuring can also be informed in advance to the people at the bottom through these newspapers. , let the people at the bottom know in advance and even give feedback.

This way.

The various 'laws' they created are undoubtedly more popular than previous laws.

It is also easier to be accepted by the world.

When.

Given the general trend, even if some officials are dissatisfied, what can we do?

Can it really be stopped?
Even if someone does stop him, once this person's affairs are leaked, he will be instantly infamous.

Therefore, everyone has to weigh one or two.

Zhang Cang cupped his hands and said, "How much does this newspaper cost?"

Ji Heng said: "The cost is high, and at present, it is much higher than the bamboo slips."

"Therefore, the number of copies of this newspaper will not be large. It will only be used to promote the restructuring. Unless the cost of construction is significantly reduced in the future, it will only be published in Xianyang City."

Zhang Cang nodded.

Even so, it's amazing.

The carrier of this newspaper is obviously more convenient than bamboo slips.

You can also write more words and write down more content.

If the cost can be reduced in the future and spread widely, I am afraid that the cost of admission to Daqin will drop again and again.

Da Qin's suppression of the old scholar class will also be more thorough.

Even though it is expensive to make now, it will have miraculous effects when used to spread it within a small area. At least for the courtiers of the Qin Dynasty, it is absolutely unexpected.

When they react, they may not be able to stop it at all. This is also putting pressure on the Qin court officials and forcing them to make concessions.

And what's even more amazing is.

Ji Heng handed over the publicity matter to Gong Gongzi Gao, Gongzi Jianglu and others, which made those in the court afraid to make too much noise even if they were interested.

Otherwise, if you cause His Majesty to be dissatisfied, you will only bring trouble to yourself.

This also means.

Unless His Majesty steps in to stop this 'news report', it will definitely spread and it will definitely surprise people.

The others also had strange expressions on their faces at this moment.

During this period, they were obviously at a loss, and they would always be suppressed by courtiers, trying to force them to make certain concessions.

But there are newspapers.

They can turn from passive to active.

With this initiative on the scene, combined with Han Xin's pressure from the north, the final power of restructuring will be completely handed over to them, and the courtiers will have no influence at all.

even……

They also have to bend down.

Chen Ping's eyes were no longer limited to this restructuring, but also focused on the other functions of this newspaper. In the past, Da Qin's influence on the world actually became weaker and weaker as it went further.

But with newspapers, Da Qin's influence on the world will be greatly increased, and it can also be used to promote Da Qin's policies.

The benefits are many.

But where did this paper come from? How many people know the specific manufacturing method? This is a problem.

But Chen Ping didn't ask.

Ji Heng obviously would not tell him such a powerful weapon of the country, and it was probably Fusu who revealed this to Ji Heng privately.

During the years of the Kanto Rebellion, Guanzhong never stopped and probably made progress in many aspects.

Now it is only gradually revealed.

Ji Heng said: "Do you still have doubts? If not, you can put some thought into making a written explanation of the placement of officials after the abolition of the life-long system, and then hand it over to General Lu and others. It was published in newspapers and distributed."

Meng Yi and others handed over their hands: "I will obey your orders."

They were obviously a little excited, and they were also very curious about whether their and others' ideas would be recognized by the citizens of Xianyang.

See this.

Ji Heng smiled faintly.

He did not take away the newspaper template, but left it in the Reorganization Mansion, and then went to the palace. He wanted to report the matter to Fusu.
