Da Qin: Rebuked the dissatisfied ministers, held the sword towards the emperor at the beginning

Chapter 79 [Royal Examination System! 】

In the late Ming Dynasty, why was Chongzhen so poor?

True.

The inaction of the Donglin Party may even bring disaster to the country and chaos in government!

And the continued blood-sucking of the landowning and gentry class!

But when it comes to the cancer of imperial finances...

It is inevitable that the total expenditure of the annual salary of the royal family with the surname Zhu in the millions!
But Chongzhen saw that the country was about to be destroyed, but he was still unwilling to take action on his own royal family...

To the point of death and the destruction of the country!
If you don’t see the Ming Dynasty overthrown, what will happen to the millions of royal family named Zhu?
Li Zicheng directly killed hundreds of kilograms of King Fu and held a Fu Lu banquet to reward the entire army!

So when Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang first designed the vassal system, why didn't he consider that the royal family's annual salary would become a burden on the empire's finances in the future?

to be honest!
Lao Zhu still regards himself as an ordinary citizen.

He hopes to use a more pure "family world" method to control all directions in Jiuzhou.

Namely: When he was a child, he was afraid of hunger. Lao Zhu simply hoped that future generations would not be as hungry as he was when he was a child.

however.

Zhu Yuanzhang used the concept of "family world" to construct the vassal system.

It will inevitably lead to a result.

That is to let the people of Kyushu support the royal family surnamed Zhu...

As Lao Zhu's descendants become more and more powerful, it will definitely accelerate the decay and collapse of the entire empire!

Also.

No matter how smart the ancients were, their vision was often limited by the development of the times.

Zhu Yuanzhang started with a bowl, abruptly drove Meng Yuan back to the grassland, and won the Sixteen States of Yanyun, which the Song Dynasty had dreamed of for hundreds of years!

therefore!

Zhu Yuanzhang must have great talent and great strategy.

However, Lao Zhu's vision can only see at most the Ming Dynasty Guozuo several generations later.

On the other hand, Yin Lie can easily decipher the 300-year national destiny of any dynasty!

This is where Right Prime Minister Wang Wan cannot compare to Yin Lie no matter what...

……

Back to this moment.

When Yin Lie moves out ten generations later, the number of the Ying family in the empire will exceed 150 million!

The total annual expenditure required by the treasury is: 5000 million stone per year!

"..."

Right Prime Minister Wang Wan was so shocked that he took several steps back!

What is dimensionality reduction attack!

This is called the most typical dimensionality reduction attack!
From the level of financial figures, it will be absolutely crushed by geometric multiples!
What will happen to you, Wang Wan, even if you are the right-hand minister of the three princes?

The final result of ten generations of crunching numbers is right there!

There is no excuse for this!
Because there is no fuzzy range in mathematics...

One is one!

Two is two!

Do you, Wang Wan, have the ability to calculate a different result?

no doubt!

Wang Wan definitely doesn’t have that ability!
Because the answer given by Yin Lie was already relatively underestimated.

"This this……"

Wang Wan's expression changed inexplicably at this time!
His original arrogance and certainty of victory were all gone now!
Wang Wan really couldn't figure out why Yin Lie had such attainments in arithmetic!

Today, the criteria for selecting officials in Da Qin are very simple...

First: If a family has certain assets, it is 100% impossible for a poor person to become an official.

Second, one must be literate and understand some laws.

Third, you must be over 17 years old.

These are the three rigid standards for being an official in Daqin!
Family assets, literacy, understanding of law, age seventeen or older...

If you are proficient in arithmetic, that would be great, a high-end elite talent!
And an existence like Yin Lie who is proficient in mental arithmetic...

Right Prime Minister Wang Wan can only be described as a genius!
Upper position.

"Qin Qing's small test of arithmetic really makes my Jiuqing rule Su Nei Shi...unmatched!"

Ying Zheng was obviously extremely shocked by the final 150 million royal family members, plus the total financial expenditure of 5000 million shi!

He really didn't realize that there were such big flaws in Wang Wan's vassal system!

Or rather.

Ying Zheng's attention was attracted more by the advantages of the vassal system.

Regarding pension matters...

Every emperor who enjoys great achievements is more or less neglectful in terms of finance.

Ying Zheng's judgment standard is: whether the Fan Ping system can solve the problem of Guo Zuo's inheritance!

Right Prime Minister Wang Wan handed in an apparently perfect answer sheet.

Ying Zheng had no reason to refuse.

As for spending money...

What can you do without spending money?

Since all his sons must be sent away from the vassal state, and military power, financial power, and political power have been restricted, there is no way to loosen up the annual salary.

It totally makes sense in theory!
It's all right!

But when Yin Lie finally presented the answers to the ten generations of data.

Ying Zheng was also a little startled...

He was indeed willing to spend some money on his sons, but in the end it cost him 5000 million shi!

Ying Zheng said that he couldn’t stand it either!
The vassal system must be discussed in the long run.

around.

The seat of the princes of the empire.

Jiuqingzhi Su Neishi heard that the emperor gave him a special nod.

He immediately stood up and said: "Qin Yucheng's mental calculation of the ten generations is very accurate. According to my age standard of 13 years old for marriage in Da Qin, in just 50 years, the annual salary expenditure of the heirs of the Fanping royal family will become a big burden on the empire's finances! "

Zhi Su Neishi manages the agricultural taxation of Kyushu!
He is quite knowledgeable about the financial situation of the empire.

The Northern Expedition is imminent!

The Great Wall needs to be built, the Chidao needs to be built, the national policy for voyages, the imperial tomb project, and the mausoleum policy!

just ask……

Which one doesn’t want money?
There are also the salary expenditures of the empire's [-] officials, sacrificial expenditures, the emperor's daily expenses, etc.!

If you are not in charge of your family, you don’t know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are!

Zhisu Neishi must be on Yin Lie's side this time...

no way.

If Right Prime Minister Wang Wan does what he does, he will most likely take the blame and get into trouble in the end!

Instead of worrying about the follow-up!

It would be better to openly put the truth on the table at the Langya public meeting and let everyone discuss it together.

Anyway, Yin Lie was there to bear the anger of the right prime minister in the end...

Burn less than half of the internal history of millet.

that's it.

After the First Emperor and Jiuqing Zhisu Neishi respectively spoke.

Immediately!

The direction of the empire's princes quickly changed again.

"Good guy! We just heard that the vassal system of the right prime minister is very impeccable. How come in the blink of an eye, Qin Yucheng found such a big loophole!"

"This is more than just a loophole! This is an unbearable burden on the empire's finances. Fortunately, Qin Yucheng discovered it in advance, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"

"That's right! It's not a boast or a slander. Qin Yucheng really has two skills, but sometimes his stance is so uncertain that people can't understand which side he stands on!"

"With just a few words, he calculated the number and annual salary of the Fanping royal family's descendants ten generations later. It can definitely be called a mental arithmetic!"

"I'm suddenly very much looking forward to...what kind of amendment plan to the royal family system Qin Yucheng will propose."

"I think that even if there are flaws in the Right Prime Minister's vassal screen system, it can still be made up for. Since there are too many financial expenditures, shouldn't it be enough to reduce the annual salary quota? It may not be necessary to completely reject the vassal screen system!"

……

The views of the princes of the empire are generally divided into two types.

The first is to marvel at Yin Lie's mental arithmetic and look forward to Yin Lie's plan to revise the royal family system.

The second is to think that there is still room for salvation in the Youxiang Fanping system. After all, the four advantages are also there: ward off foreign barbarians, control the Central Plains, control traitors and sycophants, and protect the country!

If only one aspect of financial expenditure is overwhelmed.

Then he completely rejected the vassal system.

It is inevitable that many important officials in Guanzhong will complain about the Right Prime Minister Wang Wan.

In fact.

The vassal system was indeed necessary to be implemented in Da Qin...

After all, Yin Lie even hesitated a few times about the county system before.

Now the Right Prime Minister Wang Wan has given an optimization plan, changing the county system and the feudal system in parallel to the county system and the vassal system in parallel.

From a guest perspective.

Right Prime Minister Wang Wan does have some merits!
at the same time.

The seat of the noble faction of military martial arts.

The national captain Tu Ju took a deep breath and said: "He is a master of mental arithmetic, and he is worthy of being a national scholar!"

Tu Ju's eyes really couldn't tolerate Yin Lie...

But this does not prevent him from admiring Yin Lie's ability!

no way!
Yin Lie's talent is really outstanding!
It was so prominent that Guo Wei Tu Ju could not ignore it!
Chehou Mengwu said silently: "Guowei, I remember that you have a second daughter..."

Meng Wu now has the intention to win over Yin Lie.

Even if he knows Yin Lie's true identity, he is most likely a criminal.

"Marquis Wu, don't think about it!"

Guo Wei Tu Ju directly cut off all Meng Wu's fantasies, saying: "Qin Lie is destined to stand on the opposite side of us, he will not form an alliance with our army's military honorable faction, don't try to waste your time."

If there's a glimmer of possibility...

Tu Ju also wanted to draw Yin Lie under his command.Instead of supporting puppets!
How about joining forces!

Maybe the Wu Xungui faction of the future army can pass through Yin Lie, leaving a way out from Wu to Wen.

but……

The road back is only the road back after all!

Unless absolutely necessary, Guowei Tu Ju would never agree to transfer from Wu to Wen!
On the other hand, Yin Lie wanted to forcefully suppress the Junwu Xungui faction, so as to bring order to the chaos in the short term and free Da Qin from the inertia of militarism...

Then this is tantamount to holding a knife to kill Guo Guowei Tu Ju and others!
They will definitely resist!
At this time.

Veteran General Hegong said: "This Qin Lie really knows the twists and turns of public debates. In my opinion... we should be tough with him. Just talking is useless!"

Duke Heng is now somewhat impressed by Yin Lie's talents as a national scholar!

I can't accept it!
Look at the face of right minister Wang Wan's face has changed drastically!
Gong Gong said that since he got acquainted with Wang Wan, the latter has always shown a calm look inside and outside the court, and the relationship between people and system design is so slippery!

As a result, Wang Wan meeting Yin Lie now is like a mouse meeting a cat...

It can be called destiny’s nemesis!

Since the letter was not enough, it was natural that Duke He had the intention to use force to kill Yin Lie!
"Old General Hegong, be careful what you say!"

Guowei Tuju reminded him.

With Yin Lie's talents as a scholar and his mental arithmetic, it was inevitable that the emperor would value him.

It is not easy for the Wu Xungui faction of their army to attack Yin Lie.

The follow-up still has to start with Yin Lie’s true identity...

As long as they are convinced that Yin Lie is the criminal madman he once was!

By the time!
Even the emperor cannot protect Yin Lie...

……

Three public seats.

After Zuo Xiang Li Si saw Yin Lie's new ability in mental arithmetic, his pressure instantly exploded!
the reason is simple!
Regarding matters related to the salary reduction of nearly [-] officials in the empire, arithmetic matters cannot be avoided!

Li Si is the leader of contemporary Legalists. While he is familiar with the law, he must also be good at mental arithmetic, but he cannot be compared with Yin Lie.

After all, Yin Lie is proficient in geometric magnification!

No matter how awesome Li Si is...

His arithmetic ability is definitely not comparable to that of Yin Lie who has been influenced by modern knowledge!

suddenly.

Lord Weiyang said: "According to Qin Yucheng's intention, it is nothing more than to reduce the annual salary of the feudal screen title! This is another proposal to offend people!"

Weiyang Jun's mentality has now returned to its usual peace.

Sure enough, the power and status of the Ying family wanted to be fundamentally improved...

too difficult.

There is Shang Jun’s method ahead.

The Ying family can only be restricted everywhere.

First it was military power, finance, political power, and now even annual salary will be cut...

Only the word "nominal" is left!
Lord Weiyang said: It doesn't matter if you don't want the name of the Duke of Fanping, there is too little oil and water, and you have to leave Xianyang in Guanzhong and send it to the Central Plains. What are the princes planning?

"Your Majesty!"

Feng Qu, the imperial censor, said slowly: "At any time, personal interests can not override the inheritance of Guozuo. Qin Yucheng, as the censor, is an errand that offends people."

Feng Quji thought Yin Lie did a good job this time.

It's a big thing.

Instead of laying the groundwork for the Qin Dynasty in future generations, it is better to analyze all the advantages and disadvantages of the vassal system clearly now!
As for the offender...

If you want to do practical things, you will inevitably have to avoid problematic issues.

Lord Weiyang tilted his head slightly: "Mr. Feng seems to be more and more optimistic about this Qin Yucheng."

Feng Quji, the imperial censor, said: "You are a talented scholar with mental arithmetic skills. Your Majesty trusts him. How can I not value him?"

Weiyang Jun: "..."

Left Prime Minister Li Si: "..."

……

The seat of the yin and yang family.

At the beginning of the second public debate in Donghuang, Right Prime Minister Wang Wan Xianwei proposed the vassal system, which she also found extremely difficult.

Even she couldn't help but feel a trace of worry in her heart.

But did not expect ...

Yin Lie once again used his absolute strength to dispel all her worries.

Yin Lie is the future of the Yin Yang family!

It is also the future of Donghuang!
As for Xu Fu... Xu Fu was originally thinking about taking a small revenge on Yin Lie.

But when Yin Lie showed his mental arithmetic ability that crushed Right Prime Minister Wang Wan!

Xu Fu suddenly stopped.

Xu Fu said it was better to stay away from such evil stars.

To avoid losing your life immediately.

……

Seats for the prince and princess of the empire.

In addition to Fusu's growing appreciation and admiration for Yin Lie.

Others, such as Young Master Gao, Young Master Jiang Lu, the eighteenth prince Hu Hai, etc. are all shocked and hate Yin Lie now!

They were shocked by Yin Lie's ten-generation amount of mental arithmetic!

As for the hate...

"Qin Lie is obviously trying to cut our salary for various reasons!"

"Yes! Our military power, financial power and political power have obviously been restricted, and now even our annual salary will be reduced. So what's the difference between us being divided into the Central Plains... and being exiled?"

"Hey! It's really difficult. Our annual salary is too high, which is not good for the country. Our annual salary is too low... We don't have rice in our hands, we can't even coax the chickens, and we even have to pick at the annual salary, so how can we resist the outside world? Defeat the barbarians, secure the Central Plains, suppress the traitors, and protect the country!?"

"This Qin Yucheng, to put it bluntly, he just wants the horses to run and not eat grass. According to what he wants, we are not even as good as cows and horses!"

……

All the young masters were furious!
Ask them to do something!
They also gave them various restrictions, and now what’s even more outrageous is...

Not even the annual salary was given.

Then they will definitely not be willing to do it, and they will naturally be full of complaints and opinions.

last.

Tu Jinxuan silently raised her hand and closed her good sister Ying Yinman's chin.

"Eldest Princess, how are you? Let me tell you, Qin Yucheng must have some tricks up his sleeve, right?"

Tu Jinxuan's face remained calm, but her heart was as turbulent as Ying Yinman's.

She does know that Yin Lie will be prepared...

But she never imagined that Yin Lie's backhand would produce such a shocking impact!
"Uh……"

Ying Yinman also stopped her exaggerated expression.

She said: "Qin Lie is indeed a bit clever, but he is rude to my sisters. This princess... just doesn't obey him!"

Tu Jinxuan: "..."

……

in the field.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

Right Prime Minister Wang Wan frowned and pondered for a while, then said: "Qin Yucheng, people are born, old, sick and die, and their lives are subject to misfortunes and blessings. It would be an exaggeration for you to just talk about the theoretical number of people and financial expenditures!"

Wang Wan began to pick the loopholes in Yin Lie's language!

Debate!
Since it can’t be said in the general direction!
Then focus on the small details...

"Ha ha!"

Yin Lie sneered. He had expected Wang Wan to come like this!
Fortunately, he was prepared...

Yin Lie said indifferently: "Right Prime Minister, let's not talk about life, old age, illness and death. We will have misfortunes and blessings every day. I just want to emphasize one point!"

Wang Wan: "..."

"I just counted the nineteen sons of His Majesty the First Emperor, who were named Dukes of Fanping!"

Yin Lie said in an extremely low voice: "But I don't count any of the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty, the third emperor... until the Duke of Fanping conferred by the tenth emperor!"

The vassal system of Right Prime Minister Wang Wan was not limited to the generation of Emperor Feng Shihuang.

Later emperors could also divide the vassal states.

If calculated strictly according to this scale...

All of a sudden!
"..."

Right Prime Minister Wang Wan was completely speechless!

What else can I say?
Yin Lie has already counted according to the minimum standard.

If Wang Wan continues to find fault, and Yin Lie adds up the number of Fanping Dukes entrusted by later emperors, the answer will only be more exaggerated!
So far!

Wang Wan's vassal screen system has come to an end!

Upper position.

Ying Zheng directly concluded: "The advantages of the vassal system of the right prime minister are: to protect the foreign barbarians, control the Central Plains, control the traitors and protect the country."

"Fatal flaw: Over time, the future will impose a huge burden on the empire's finances!"

"Amendment plan: according to what Qin Qing just said about the Son of Heaven, he will be beheaded for the fifth generation! And the salary quota for the rank of feudal screen will be reduced, and the feudal screen system will still be of value!"

……

Ying Zheng still recognized the vassal system, but it needed to be adjusted and revised before it could be implemented.

The specific adjustment measures will naturally need to be discussed later!
What Ying Zheng really wants to hear now is Yin Lie's plan to amend the royal family system!
"Qin Qing, it's your turn!"

Ying Zheng pointed out with great interest.

Hearing this, Yin Lie bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have the [Royal Family Examination System] for you!"

Kao Feng, imperial examination!
Yin Lie had just been thinking about how to pave the way for the imperial examination system for future generations!

Now he finally found a breakthrough!
Since the imperial examination system cannot be applied to the selection of ordinary people for the time being...

Then simply change the imperial examination system to the title of examination and promote it among the Ying family!

Then!

Those members of the Ying family who stand out from the [Female Examination System] will continue to consolidate the legitimacy of the [Female Examination System]!
in this way!

The imperial examination system can naturally lay the foundation for the imperial examination system in the future!
This is the best way for Great Qin to break the situation from Wu to Wen!
