Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 740: Marriage Issues (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)

"Five men of the right age can't marry a woman of marriageable age. This kind of situation not only easily arouses public resentment, but also easily leads to the corruption of the social atmosphere. This kind of adultery between men and women has existed since ancient times, but the current situation is very extreme. If we don’t get it right, I’m afraid something big will happen.”

Zhang Cang looked worried, but the second generation was very calm.

"I have long noticed that the people of the world are full of resentment. Now it seems that this resentment is not caused by the empire's annexation of the world. Perhaps the marriage of men and women has been suffering for a long time. It's just that I forced the Liang people to move back. Let these people live under my eyes, and then I can see the problem."

"I live deep in the palace and read the bamboo slips and memorials every day. I have no idea what kind of life the people in the empire are living today."

"The data compiled by the Ministry of Revenue this time helped me and all the ministers see clearly where the problems of the empire lie. Managing the country is like treating diseases. If there is no disease, you will be happy, and if you are sick, treat it. Just knowing that there is a crisis lurking within the empire, but not It’s useless to know what the crisis is.”

Meng Yi stepped forward:

"Thanks to what Your Majesty said, I think that what happened now is not necessarily a bad thing. Now that we have discovered the problem, we can plan to solve it. The empire is often worried about the bandits rebelling, but they don't know why the bandits want to rebel. Nowadays, everyone By checking the gender and age of the population in the world, we can find out the reasons that trouble people's lives."

"This is what I would like to congratulate your Majesty. With the political affairs hall that specializes in dealing with people's livelihood affairs, your Majesty will have a sharp tool in your hands to govern the world."

The Second Emperor responded happily:

"Without Uncle Wang, Zhang Cang, Feng Jie, and Ji Hao, Zhengshitang would not have become the empire's magic weapon so quickly."

The four people naturally came forward to thank them:

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty."

The second generation said this casually, and Jiu Qing felt deeply that his position was unstable.

Zhang Cang and Feng Jie were promoted to ministers, although this was expected.

But looking at the current composition of the four departments, Ji Hao has long been a Shangqing, the young master Ziying is a member of the clan, and Feng Jie and Zhang Cang have both been promoted to the position of Shangqing.

Although in name, the official position of Minister is very low, the titles they enjoy now are all those of Shangqing.Except for the title of Shangqing, all other real powers that should be given were given to him.

And Fusu did play a good card. Once he came to power, he lifted up the clan nobles who had been in decline due to Shang Yang's reforms.The princes, princes, officials and ministers of the Ministry of Rites all benefited from the succession of the second generation.

Seeing the Second Emperor's position becoming more and more stable, Meng Tian suddenly felt that he had worried about the Second Emperor for nothing.

It turns out that the second generation was motivated by the clan, so he dared to abolish the titles of two thousand military-defining families, take back the land around Xianyang City, and combat the annexation of land in the pass.

But Meng Tian didn't expect that Meng Yi would start to feel dissatisfied when he heard these words.

Looking around the world, Qin officials everywhere are doing things in an orderly manner. Isn't it because they have Sikou like him as an example?

Why are the Four Parts more popular than Dali Temple now?

Everyone in the political hall was feeling proud when they suddenly heard Sikou Mengyi say:

"The Qin State has always governed the country by law, relying on the many Qin officials in the empire. Now the Zhengshitang has divided the responsibilities of the prime minister. Maybe today the Zhengshitang can still be distinguished by dividing the responsibilities of the prime minister, but in the future. The minor ministers will be I think the current style of government affairs is a bit lax, especially in the Ministry of Etiquette and the Ministry of Industry, which do not follow the rules and often do illegal things."

"If it weren't for His Majesty's favor, I would have impeached Young Master Ziying."

Everyone looked surprised after hearing this.

When the late emperor died, His Majesty's power lost weight, and people in the court were in chaos, Meng Yi could be said to be the mainstay, supporting all the Qin officials in the world by himself.

At that time, everyone's impression of Meng Yi changed greatly, thinking that his personality had changed.

You must know that Meng Yi was the one who dared to openly impeach Zhao Gao in the court. Not only did Zhao Gao look embarrassed, but the entire Yushitai would avoid him when meeting him from then on.

The person who was the censor at that time was Feng Quji.

The civil servant group was single-handedly supported by Qin Shihuang. The prime minister and the censor, as the heads of the three princes, were both civil servants. This arrangement reflected Ying Zheng's selfishness.And Feng Quji became the censor and supervisor of all officials precisely because he was backed by people like Li Si and Zhang Han.

However, as a minister, Meng Yi often impeached officials in the court.

At first, everyone thought he was young and didn't take him seriously.

But later, relying on the favor of the First Emperor and his family's meritorious service, Meng Yi became a little ignorant.

Under the arrangement of the First Emperor, the Meng family was originally supposed to transition from military generals to civil servants, in order to demonstrate Ying Zheng's tender heart to appease the military-promoted family.

But this chess move didn't work at all.

The Meng family was unconditionally loyal to the Qin State, and it didn't matter if they left the military group. However, it aroused the hatred of the military family, and therefore was not qualified to lead the generals. With Meng Wu's death, Meng Tian strongly supported the Meng family.At this time, serious corruption began within the civil servants group.This made the First Emperor see that the only people who could support the empire were the Meng clan, so he relied even more heavily on them.

This is why Yingzheng trusted Mengshi.

He already knew that the empire was at the end of its rope, and that his successive plans had failed.

And Meng Yi's personality is a factor that cannot be ignored in disrupting Ying Zheng's chess game.

This talented and cruel official with noble birth and self-proclaimed aristocracy is obviously a political idiot.

Most of the ministers bowed their heads and remained silent.

Zhao Tuo was stunned in the court.He had heard about Meng Yi's deeds, but they all said that he was upright and not afraid of the powerful. Now it seems that he is still playing petty temper as a powerful man.

After hearing this, Li Xin felt that what Meng Yi said made sense.His Majesty now attaches too much importance to Zhengshitang. Although he is still a champion and a lieutenant, it seems that His Majesty does not trust and value him so much.

The Political Affairs Hall is the Political Affairs Hall, so four people can't take turns being prime minister.In Li Xinxin's eyes, Lao Wangxiang is the most stable, and no one else can compare to him.

The second generation was speechless for a while, and in the end Meng Tian could only change the subject.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, although today is a small dynasty, I think business should be the main thing. Since this kind of marriage problem has arisen in Hanoi, Shanxi, I think this matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible. But this matter is a little special, men and women Marriage is supposed to be the order of the parents and the matchmaker, but now that there are too few women in the family, even if the parents want to make the decision, they can't do anything about it. There are also the soldiers who settled down and some bandits who have reformed their evil ways and returned to the right way. They were originally homeless people. I am afraid that if this matter is not resolved as soon as possible, it may cause even greater disasters."

In this kind of matter, the easiest way is to steal someone else's daughter.

If the Second Emperor did not let them fight, they themselves would take the initiative to fight over the issue of heir.

But the second generation had made it clear beforehand, and no one said anything about it.

"Dazhuguo is right. We should solve the current problem first."

It was rare for Zhou Qingchen to have any political opinions on major issues, so he had an idea as soon as he had an idea.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I think that we can select women from various places in Guanzhong, and then send them to Hanoi and Shanxi, so that government officials from various places can hire them for them."

Zhang Cang naturally shook his head.

"This matter is definitely not advisable. Those daughters will definitely not want to marry far away. If they are forced to conscript, those families will definitely resent Your Majesty. Originally, it was to appease the people's resentment, but now they are recruiting women on a large scale. Not only will it not appease the anger of Kuang men, but it will also make the empire credibility is damaged."
