Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 714 The county governor of the world, as the same Jiuqing (Please reward the monthly ticket recommendation ticket!)

Hearing this, the second generation couldn't help but think of one more thing.

"I know that most wealthy families have the habit of raising scholars, like Zhao Xie, who has more than a thousand guests and has evil intentions; middle-class families also raise hundreds of people, who is the current king of the county; even a small wealthy family, just cares about Even if you have plenty of food and wine, you have to support two or three scholars. Even poor officials and people are willing to help the poor as long as they can live a decent life."

"I love talents, but the people in the countryside are more able to love talents than me. Without those rich businessmen and families, those scholars can't survive at all. So according to their vision and pattern, they will naturally love talents. Those rich merchants and big businessmen are grateful, but they have no affection for me."

"But if things go on like this, these scholars rely on their powerful clans. Over time, they have no feelings for the empire. Once someone instigates them, they will become a threat to the empire. As for the scholars, I have always hoped that they can serve the empire, but the imperial court There’s no room for that many people.”

"If I are cruel, these people will definitely take the opportunity to say bad things about me, but if I don't deal with it, I will let them dig holes for the empire secretly. What you just said reminded me, why don't we just take advantage of this The next time I recruit civil servants in the local area, I will find out the household registration of these scholars and who they are attached to."

Fusu took one step and counted three steps. After hearing this, Zhao Wan naturally admired the second generation.Moreover, His Majesty obviously has a better grasp of the situation in the country than the previous one, which also makes the people below less likely to use their brains.

"Your Majesty Shengming."

"The land of Shanxi has been severely damaged since the Battle of Changping. Now I want to gradually make the empire strong. If we can return the garrison and solve the problem of barren fields together, we will open a Good omen. What does Zhao Jun think?"

Your Majesty's idea is indeed good, but this matter is a bit like fighting fire with fire, and this matter is still a bit dangerous.

Zhao Wanze quickly smiled:
"Your Majesty is well-planned and I admire you greatly."

"I remember you just said that there are some good ways to govern the country. Please tell me together today. Otherwise, if you leave, I may not be able to come back for many years."

Zhao Wan was thinking about returning to Guanzhong to serve as prime minister, but now that he heard the emperor said that he would not be able to come back for many years, he naturally felt a chill in his heart.

If that's the case, don't blame him for speaking loudly.

"Your Majesty, I didn't want to mention this matter, lest your Majesty would not trust me in the future because of what I said. But now that your Majesty has given me such an errand, I am in a dilemma, so I decided to report this matter to your Majesty. .”

"tell me the story."

"Your Majesty thinks that His Majesty alone can decide the affairs of the world?"

"The late emperor worked hard and slept long and hard. The memorials he reviewed every day weighed up to five hundred kilograms. After I succeeded to the throne, I reorganized the minister's desk and worked day and night to sort documents. Even so, I still felt tired. Then Zhao Qing thinks that under such circumstances, I can still say that one person can decide the affairs of the world."

"Since your majesty has such a heart, the minister will be blunt. The ancient sages established the country in order to let the people of the country live and work in peace and contentment. Now that your majesty is the son of heaven, he also wants to achieve a world of great governance. It's just that there are so many affairs in the world. Your Majesty alone It is really inappropriate for people to decide everything in the world.”

"If the late emperor was still alive, no matter which minister said this, he would inevitably lose his head. But now, it is your Majesty who has changed, so I dare to risk my life to remonstrate. I sincerely ask your Majesty to promote the position of county governor in the world, with the same rank as the nine ministers. This move can appease all counties in the world.”

After that, Zhao Wan lowered his head and kowtowed again, still trembling.

Sitting on the seat, the Second King was slightly stunned for a moment.Fusu already knew that these local officials had great opinions on the emperor's system, but unexpectedly, Zhao Wan went beyond the emperor's system and directly persuaded him to change the local system.

"Do you dare to say this in court?"

Zhao Wan shook his head.

"Don't dare."

"This move will cause an uproar between North Korea and China."

Zhao Wan continued:

"Your Majesty, please think twice. What I said today is actually a path that I have worked hard on for several years. Now that your Majesty has implemented the system of coexistence of counties and states, it is possible for your opinion to succeed. Now there are 27 counties under your Majesty's command, but these county guards His status is nothing more than that of a former official. His position is no better than that of a senior official, and it is even more difficult to reach the level of the three nobles and nine ministers in the court."

"Compared to the county king, there is a huge difference in status. Whenever something happens, you must report it to the emperor. But your majesty knows better than anyone else that the biggest drawback of the local government is that your majesty cannot personally supervise the actions of these subordinate officials. If If one person is corrupt, there will be a group of people who are corrupt; if there is one person who refuses to retaliate when something goes wrong, then there will be a group of people who will not retaliate when something goes wrong."

"In the eyes of the ministers in the imperial court, the status of the county guard was actually due to his lack of ability and insufficient ability to serve in Xianyang, so he was sent to the border areas to work as a cruel official, a bitter official, and a laborer. It seems so low, but, to the empire, the county guard is sometimes far more important than the Sangong Jiuqing."

"For the empire, counties and counties are the bricks and stones on which the Empire State Building is built. Even if there are big pillars to help His Majesty prop up the roof in the court, if the cornerstone falls or is crooked, the pillars that support the roof will be destroyed again." What's the use?"

In Zhao Wan's view, the Three Gongs and Nine Qings are like the pillars. To ensure that the roof does not collapse, the pillars must be solid and not rot; but if you just focus on the pillars and ignore the cornerstone, the empire will still collapse.The metaphor is very incisive and the threat is well concealed.

The second generation's eyes also shone with cunning,

"Since it is the cornerstone, it must be under the stone pillar. Of course, I want to ensure that the cornerstone does not rot, but it is absolutely impossible for me to place the cornerstone on the pillar. Zhao Qing thinks so."

The implication is that I can improve the status of the county governor, but I can never make it higher than the three ministers and nine ministers.

Zhao Wan smiled, and this smile was extremely confident.This matter cannot be decided by the emperor, but by the county guards from all over the country.The world is so big, the princes are jealous, the generals are jealous, don't these county guards be jealous.Get rid of the early bird, there are still people who come after!
"Your Majesty, it is said in the Spring and Autumn Annals that when governing a country, human nature must be taken into consideration. It is human nature to like leisure and hate work. Meritorious generals can be made marquises, and princes from the royal family can be made kings. Your Majesty has always done things impartially, knowing that you want to make the world Submission to His Majesty depends on profit distribution, but now, His Majesty has forgotten that there is such a group of people who, as the cornerstone of the empire, have neither status nor real power."

"Ignoring everything else, your Majesty now wants to conduct a census of Guanzhong's population, household registration, land, and the number of scholars. Does your Majesty intend to rely on the prince or the prince?"

"Your Majesty, I am risking my life to speak today for the sake of the empire. If your Majesty cannot solve the problem that local officials, governors, and governors have too little power and treatment, then I personally think that your Majesty will come back for ten more five-year periods. The result will be It’s the same thing.”

"How can there be something for nothing in the world? Your Majesty, please think twice."
