Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 582 Sang Hongyang?He is dead (please give me a monthly recommendation vote!)
"I thought that within ten days, the young master would understand what I said today."

Kai Ji smiled:
"I look forward to your Majesty's good news."

"This account matter is claimed to have been completed to the outside world. I heard that some people are uneasy because of my inspection of the accounts, and the people in the court are panicked. However, these accounts are not allowed to be destroyed. You should keep them sealed."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty."

"I have decided to abolish the Moon Festival and establish the Moon Festival on August [-]th. By then, there will be no curfew in Xianyang City, and young men and women in the city can travel. Anyone can travel freely in the city regardless of grade. I have established The purpose of this festival is to allow the people in Xianyang City to celebrate on the day of the full moon and enjoy this peaceful and prosperous age."

"Why would your Majesty suddenly want to do this? Besides, lifting the curfew and allowing young men and women to walk around the city will probably cause trouble. The trend of promiscuity was finally curbed. Your Majesty did this, and the DPRK I’m afraid those great scholars may not agree with His Majesty.”

"Kuiji, there have been 500 years of war. From the princes of the emperor to the common people, everyone is living under the shadow of war. I just want to deliberately arrange the Moon and Eve Festival to tell the people of the world that the era of war has completely passed. Now The people can let down their guard."

At the end of the Warring States Period, as the war became more and more brutal towards the end, the Chinese atmosphere at that time had changed a lot, especially in the extreme mentality of people all over the world.

"Although there is no war, many people still live in the shadow of war. Such a country is naturally not a paradise. I want to take this opportunity to ease the atmosphere in the country, and I also want to take this opportunity to let everyone in the world Let your guard down and enjoy the festival together.”

"Master Wei, don't you think this is a good way to improve national cohesion?"

For II, the construction of national mentality is also a very important part of governing the country.

Wei Ji was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Although this theory was novel, it was indeed practical, but he was surprised that these words actually came from the mouth of the second generation.

"Your Majesty not only wants to ensure the food and daily life of the common people, but also cares whether they are worried or happy?"

"Naturally. Since the Empire is a paradise, what kind of paradise would it be if there were no laughter and laughter?"

"But young men and women gather together in the city in the middle of the night. Isn't this inappropriate?"

"Why are you worried about this? Even if I don't let them take to the streets, they will still be messing around. The Master said, 'Food and sex are the same.'"

Wei Ji had nothing to say for a moment, so he just whispered:

"If this continues, I'm afraid there will be a lot more babies in the city by the eve of next year."

"What are you saying, Master?"

Wei Ji is embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, the minister made a slip of the tongue."

"The reason I'm telling you this is because I want you to preside over it."

Wei Ji was surprised again and again.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. How can I be qualified for such a thing?"

"There are not many veterans in the court that I can trust. I leave this matter to you because I hope you can take this opportunity to show your face in front of the people of Xianyang and let them know the capabilities of my new young master. "

The Second Emperor always spoke better than he sang, and since he was the emperor, how could Kai Ji refuse.

Wei Ji bit the bullet and said:
"only!"

"In addition, I want you to re-investigate and record the treasury, the inventory in the palace, various prefectures, temples, and localities. I want you to re-record the food, money, silk, and various taxes. The Shaofu has transferred many people to go there Ministry of Industry, if there is not enough manpower, I will issue an edict to ask you to personally go to Taixue to organize examinations and select people."

Wei Ji was not very interested in people from Taixue.Although Qin State Taixue was completed ten years ago, most of the well-known people in it are old men.Most of these old people are alive, they only like to talk about scriptures, and they don't do business.It is not unreasonable for Han Fei to attribute Confucian scholars to the five beetles.

As for Wei Ji's age, he was considered young compared to the old men from Taixue, so Wei Ji knew that he couldn't control them.

Most of the younger generation are children of scholar-bureaucrats.

If you choose a small official who is responsible for counting numbers, good at calculations, and excerpting records, these Taixue disciples can certainly handle it, but what Wei Ji needs is someone with real talents.

"You look embarrassed, but the people from Taixue don't suit your liking?"

"Your Majesty, Taixue is full of small talents, but it is not easy to find great talents in Taixue."

After hearing this, the second generation naturally frowned.

"According to what you said, in fact, most of my imperial colleges are full of wine bags and rice bags."

"Your Majesty, this is not what I mean. Your Majesty has entrusted the Ministry of Household Affairs to the management of me. I not only have to manage the tax household registration of the world, but also deal with issues related to the currency economy. It's just that your Majesty, the tax household registration is easy to handle, but the currency economy The problem requires a great talent like Guan Zhong. Has Your Majesty ever heard of anyone in the Imperial Academy who knows how to organize a country's economy like Guan Zhong?"

"This is also something I'm worried about. Could it be that I can't find talents like Guan Zhong and Sang Hongyang in the world?"

"I am ignorant and ignorant. I have only heard of Guan Zhong. I don't know who Sang Hongyang is?"

"He's just a talent I heard about in Qi State."

"According to what His Majesty said, this person must be a great talent if he can be called together with Guan Zhong. I don't know where he is now?"

The Second Emperor looked at Wei Ji.I thought that Wei Ji was too honest. If he lied to him that Sang Hongyang was an immortal, he would definitely not believe it. He would get to the bottom of it and ask me if I could really communicate with immortals in my dreams.

The second generation said seriously:
"Sang Hongyang? He has starved to death in the mountains."

[Some people are not yet born, but are already dead. 】

Wei Ji was surprised and said:
"That's a pity."

"Kui Ji, you go to Taixue first. Things like picking up shells from the sea require chance. If you only sit in the household department, the great talents you ask for will not fall from the sky."

After hearing this, Wei Ji felt that what II said was indeed reasonable.

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. I will go now."

"go Go."

As soon as Wei Ji left, Huo Cheng came over and said:
"Your Majesty, it's already noon, why don't you let School Five go back? Sooner or later, Lishanling will notice."

"Let him out of the palace."

Xia Hei couldn't help worrying:

"Your Majesty, what if he lets it out?"

"Isn't the military strength within the imperial city not enough to fight against the people of Xianyang City? It's just a small fifth school. Even if he tells it, what will happen. I have already broken the relationship with them by removing the [-]th Marquis. They decided to assassinate Zhang Han, just to take this opportunity to shame me."

"When the news got out, they were just scared and didn't dare to act rashly. But if Zhang Ping didn't spread this matter, it wouldn't affect the overall situation. But he can take this opportunity to show his loyalty to me. There are three brothers in the Zhang family, Born in a craftsman's family, he has no military achievements, but he is a new role model in the court today."

"The days of the imperial military nobles are over. I really have no way to set up Xianyang City in a place like Nanyang County, but I can turn Xianyang City into today's Nanyang County. A place without the obstruction of thousands of noble families. .”

"The era when the nobles ruled the common people has long passed. The new era will be the era when the nobles of the Ying family and the common people rule together."

(Information obtained: The permanent population of Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty, was 25. Before the 35th year of the First Emperor (212 BC), the permanent population of Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty, was 55, and the temporary population was 5, totaling 60. After the 35th year of the First Emperor of Qin, the permanent population was still 55, and the temporary population increased to 10, with the actual population being 65. "Greater Xianyang" had a permanent population of 35 million and a temporary population of 130 before the First Emperor's 10th year. The actual population is 140 million. After the 35th year of the First Emperor's reign, the permanent population was 105 million, the temporary population was 15, and the actual population was 120 million.)
To sum up, this thousand-household aristocratic family is calculated as one hundred people per household, which is 10 people. I will conservatively estimate it as 15 here.

One thousand aristocratic families support 15 people, which is quite a large number. This is why it is difficult for military families to shake them.

This is why the protagonist wants to build the imperial city in the first place, to circle out the noble families so that they can be dealt with later.
