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

Chapter 95 The empire’s financial chaos!The authority of the temple is unclear!
[Yanglian Silver] was also produced by Emperor Yongzheng of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

However, Yin Lie only used the name "Yanglian Yin", but did not use the actual name of "Yanglianyin" of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Because the official salaries of Da Qin are already high enough.

If we continue to adopt the model of issuing [Integrity-supporting Silver] during the term of office, it will once again turn into a high salary to support integrity...

and so.

In Da Qin, the best way to implement [Yang Lian Yin] is to follow the pension model of later generations.

to be honest.

As long as you can work steadily in your position until you are successful.

The imperial court will issue a pension, also known as [Integrity-raising Silver], based on your years of service and your specific performance in your position.

As such.

This will allow honest officials and censors to set an example and receive only a low basic salary during their tenure. At the same time, they will be wary of internal corruption, and will not continue to punish corruption with high pressure, causing resentment among officials and hindering the development of the country...

opposite.

"Qin Yucheng, awesome!"

Li Si gave a thumbs up very down to earth!

[Raising Lian Yin] was really something he had never thought of.

Lao Li has always focused on what kind of system and rules should be established during the tenure of the Integrity Officer and the Censor...

But did not expect.

All it takes is a slight shift in thinking.

Allowing honest officials and censors to continue to receive money after taking office can ensure the internal integrity of the supervisory agency to a large extent.

"[Yanglianyin] has a maximum annual salary of one thousand dan and a minimum of one hundred dan. The specific salary can be increased based on the length of service and merits in punishing corruption..."

Li Si slightly added the details of raising integrity.

If corruption punishment targets were set for honest officials and censors every year.

Then it will cause continuous high pressure in the temple...

However, as long as the assessment period of merits in punishing corruption is extended to every few years, or once every ten years, the intensity of punishing corruption can be effectively adjusted at any time.

Suppose corruption has gone too far in some places recently.

As long as the local government performance evaluation period for punishing corruption is shortened to once a year, the superior ones are rewarded with an increase in the level of integrity-supporting silver, and the inferior ones do not need to be punished for their lack of merit. They are directly criticized and recorded with demerits, which is enough to satisfy all the honest officials and censors. Get started!

Wait until the wind wears off.

The imperial court resumed the timetable for performance evaluation of corruption punishment as usual.

It is equivalent to reducing the pressure on the temple princes and local officials...

In summary!

Li Si really felt that Yin Lie had once again given a wonderful policy!

"His Majesty."

Li Si cupped his hands and said: "In this third Langya public discussion, I am convinced that I lost! Qin Yucheng's comprehensive salary model, plus the [Secret Discount System], [Qin Law Dagao System], the establishment of a clean government, and the supplementary regulations in the corruption punishment rules." Investigation and punishment, descendants and descendants to repay the shortfall, and the creation of [Integrity-raising Silver]..."

"These are all strategies that will benefit the country at the top and all the people at the bottom!"

"Weichen, I am ashamed of myself!"

……

When Lao Li bowed his head, he really bowed his head!

Just like when Ying Zheng once asked Li Si: How is Han Fei better than you?
Li Si replied: Han Fei is ten times more talented than me!
True.

When Li Si faced his fellow senior brother Han Fei, he must have given him a little more face with his words.

Going there is enough to prove that Lao Li is a very broad-minded person.

However, this still does not hinder Li Si's heart, which is actually quite greedy for power.

But Li Si never regarded Yin Lie as his opponent...

the reason is simple.

He believes that Yin Lie is destined to be a flash in the pan, a fleeting meteor!
Li Si felt from the bottom of his heart that... Yin Lie's righteousness was something he could not do despite his words.

After all, Lao Li is a common man after all.

On the Langya stage.

"Hahaha! Very good, very good!"

Ying Zheng is extremely happy!
He looks at Yin Lie now... the more he looks at it, the more he looks like a treasure!
Even leaving aside Yin Lie’s familiar identity that may be related to him!
Ying Zheng was also extremely lucky. He was lucky enough to save Yin Lie when he was in the palace!

Even if it weighs on his majesty and integrity...

It's all worth it too!
"Reward! Qin Lie is promoted to the title of five great officers, ranking first among the great officers!"

"Give me a sword to suppress evil and evil, and also to demonstrate the merits of today's clean government!"

"In addition! From now on, when you walk in front of the emperor, you don't need to pass the message. You can meet me anytime and anywhere!"

……

Ying Zheng promoted Yin Lie to a noble title again!

This time it’s the ninth-level fifth doctor...

The pinnacle of promotion for ordinary minor nobles is the title of Fifth Doctor!
The tenth-level left concubine chief, the eleventh-level right concubine chief... are already in the ranks of high-ranking nobles, and it is impossible to be promoted without mentioning the family name.

It can be seen that the First Emperor still has a sense of proportion!

Let’s look at the second reward: sword control...

This symbolic meaning is great. The emperor personally gave him a sword. In later generations, it will be a Shangfang sword that can represent the imperial power!
Cut first and then play!

Royal charter!

It cannot be maintained except by the feudal officials!
However, in the pre-Qin period, Ying Zheng personally gave him a sword, and the honorary symbolism was even greater...

As for the final walk in front of the emperor, it is a privilege to have unhindered access.

Let's just put it that way.

Under normal circumstances, there is only one situation where you want to see the emperor anytime and anywhere.

Frontline military information is urgent!
Youguan Jiangshan Sheji!

Otherwise... Foreign ministers are just foreign ministers after all, and they must abide by the etiquette of monarchs and ministers!
As a result, Ying Zheng now broke the barrier between monarch and minister towards Yin Lie!
All of a sudden!
Yin Lie's status has become extremely special, and he can definitely be called the most popular person before the First Emperor so far!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

Yin Lie bowed his hand to thank him as usual.

He understands...

The First Emperor must have discovered and initially determined his identity, so he gave him the privilege of walking in front of the emperor unimpeded!

Notice!

This is a privilege that even the three princes and important ministers do not have!

only he...

Yin Lie couldn't help but think about it.

The problem is that Yin Lie is now clearer about his goals!

He has no allegiance to anyone!

Even if the First Emperor is really ruthless... there is a father-son relationship with him.

It is impossible for Yin Lie to succeed Da Qin.

What he wants is to consolidate the foundation of China for all generations and try to extend the Qin Kingdom as much as possible.

From the perspective of a time traveler, this is more like an [Imperial Game] and an attempt to realize the vision of eternal glory.

Thousands of years later.

There will still be people shouting my name!
Needless to say.

That is definitely a very romantic thing.

of course.

At present, the princes of the empire are worried about Yin Lie being promoted quickly again...

They had expected it, but they still didn't expect that the emperor would elevate Yin Lie to such an extent!
Three public seats.

Guo Wei Tu Ju clenched his fists: "Add five doctor titles, be rewarded with a sword, and be given the opportunity to walk in front of the emperor... It seems that it won't be long before Qin Lie will be granted the title of Marquis and the Prime Minister!"

Tu Ju's eyes really wanted to spit out fire.

But he still restrained himself.

There is no useless impeachment like before.

Now Yin Lie is in the limelight!

Coupled with the emperor's love and protection...

Tu Ju also had to avoid his sharp edges!
Right Prime Minister Wang Wan tilted his head and said: "It depends on the success of the Northern Expedition. If Li Xin wins a big victory, Qin Yucheng will definitely take one of the first achievements. When the time comes... With your Majesty's temperament, it is not impossible for him to become a marquis and worship the prime minister. possible……"

Guowei Tuju: "..."

Yes!

Yin Lie has already been awarded the title of Five Doctors even though he has no military merit!

If the Northern Expedition was conspired and won the first achievement...

The possibility of becoming a marquis is very high!

After all, since ancient times...

Conquering all the barbarians belongs to China's highest military honor!
Therefore.

Guowei Tu Ju and other people would go to great lengths to seek advice during the Fengchan ceremony on Mount Tai to start a large-scale campaign in the Northern Expedition!
That's incredible military success and wealth!

"Let's just say that based on the various national policies proposed by Qin Lie in the three Langya public discussions, and supplemented by the military achievements of the Northern Expedition, it seems completely natural to be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister!"

Feng Quji, the imperial censor, said something fair.

When Yin Lie was enthroned from Mount Tai, he angrily complained about the contemporary head of the Kong family in Qufu: Kong Bai started...

There were three public discussions until Langya opened the sea.

Yin Lie proposed too many national policies.

Northern Expedition Blitz!
Involving the Yin Yang family’s plan to separate the three powers of destiny!

The imperial examination system!

Young Da Qin said!
Comprehensive salary model!

Three detailed rules for punishing corruption...

These are still relatively simple statistics. In terms of more specific policies, I can’t count them with both hands.

suddenly.

Weiyang Jun also said with great interest: "When it comes to the establishment of the system and other matters, Qin Yucheng is indeed indispensable, but..."

Weiyang Jun smiled and said nothing.

Feng Quji asked back: "Why do you want to speak but stop talking?"

"Ha ha."

Weiyang Jun directly changed the subject and said: "I just think Feng Gong really has to speak for Qin Lie. Firstly, he is a subordinate of Qin, and secondly, he proposed the system of raising honest silver. It is not only beneficial to honest officials, but also to the censor. One party!" Lord Weiyang did not gain any actual benefits from the three public discussions in Langya.

But as the uncle of the First Emperor, there was no need for him to end up fighting for anything.

Power, fame, money...

Weiyang Jun is not lacking in anything.

After all, he was a ruthless man who dared to lead the Ying clan... to burn himself to force the palace!
This is an undisputed strongman!
And now the royal family examination system established by Yin Lie can continuously pluck out good talents from the Ying clan.

For Weiyang Jun...

He is very willing to see the children of the royal family have a brighter future.

but.

One yard owned by a yard!
Weiyang Jun felt that the emperor was obviously a little too fond of Yin Lie.

There is a lack of restraint and rules that should exist between monarchs and ministers.

This is not what Mr. Weiyang wants to see!
"Your Majesty, let's discuss the matter. The basic salaries of honest officials and censors are very low, and we cannot set bonuses for punishing corruption..."

Feng Quji said seriously: "Qin Yucheng specially made up for it by providing an honest bank, which is very appropriate!"

The voice did not fall.

Guo Wei Tu Ju said indifferently: "No matter how appropriate it is, it can't erase Qin Lie's suspicion of seeking his own interests!"

Feng Quji: "..."

Old Feng couldn't help but rolled his eyes, but didn't say anything more.

After all, the relationship between Tu Ju and Yin Lie!

It has reached an irreconcilable point.

Feng Quji could put in a few good words for Yin Lie, but he would never openly help Yin Lie fight with Guo Wei Tu Ju.

……

The seat of local ministers.

More than a dozen county-level officials all looked a little discouraged.

"It seems that Qin Yucheng is destined to rise to prominence. If people like this get the upper hand, I really don't know what trouble they will cause in the future!"

"Haha! Don't panic, there is always someone who is more anxious than us. If you don't see it, the captain's face will almost fall to the ground!"

"It depends on whether Qin Yucheng knows how to advance or retreat. During the emperor's eastward tour, he accompanied him to hold public discussions and debates. This is definitely his home court. But once he arrives in Xianyang... the situation will be completely different!"

"What? Your Majesty's favorite minister still has no place to stand in Xianyang? In my opinion, as long as your Majesty's favor is still there, no one dares to touch Qin Lie's hair, and the same is true in Xianyang!"

"Don't be too absolute. He, Qin Lie, is your Majesty's favorite. Why don't the three princes, nine ministers, and I not be welcomed by your Majesty? Since we are all your Majesty's ministers, we really want to fight... Haha!"

Many local officials were extremely unhappy with Yin Lie's promotion!
Factionalism is one aspect.

on the other hand.

Yin Lie indeed broke many unspoken rules. For example, he was awarded the title of Fifth Grand Duke without any military merit, and he also had the privilege of walking in front of the emperor, which the three princes did not have...

Too much honor and favor!

Naturally, it is inevitable to be envied by others.

This is something that has been impossible to do since ancient times.

……

in the field.

Our Left Prime Minister Li Si intends to officially bring the curtain to a close on today’s third public debate.

immediately.

Li Si then congratulated Yin Lie several times.

Yin Lie returned the greeting as usual, and then he said: "Xiang Li, I still have a few words to say..."

"Oh?"

Li Si was a little surprised when he heard this.

After all, Yin Lie had already won the third Langya Public Discussion, and he felt extremely ashamed of himself.

Yin Lie still has a few words to say.

Then this...

Li Si instinctively looked back at the First Emperor.

Ying Zheng immediately said: "Qin Qing, just feel free to say whatever you want!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Yin Lie bowed his hands and saluted, he began to plan to complete his system's excessive task.

In other words, it is the preliminary paving the way for the restructuring of Daqin temples!
Through the public debate just now.

Yin Lie said that it would be appropriate to start from finance and try to open a breakthrough first!

that's it.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li."

Yin Lie quickly completed his preparations and said bluntly: "If you want to curb corruption and straighten out the empire's finances, you still need to solve a fundamental problem!"

Ying Zheng personally asked: "What is the problem?"

"The imperial court's finances are in chaos!"

Yin Lie paused and said, "For example, the young master has the right to collect taxes on mountains, seas, and ponds, and pay tribute to the local government for the use of the palace."

"At the same time, all construction matters are also coordinated by the Young Master!"

"But the problem is that the materials and money needed for the construction of the empire's projects need to be allocated from the treasury in charge of Zhi Su Naishi. The inner treasury of the Shaofu needs to take care of the food, clothing and living expenses of the palace staff, as well as His Majesty's occasional travel. Have fun hunting and wait.”

"This has resulted in people in the Young Mansion being able to use His Majesty's name to misappropriate money from the treasury reasonably and legally at all times... causing financial chaos and unclear authority!"

……

Yin Lie's various measures to punish corruption just now were basically targeted at local areas and ordinary corruption cases.

However, if some high-ranking officials in Kyoto want to be corrupt, it is definitely not something that an honest government official or censor can handle.

Take the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty as an example!
Everyone knows Yan Song's son: Yan Shifan doesn't know how to hold back, and he is greedy in all kinds of ways!

So why can't we investigate thoroughly?

the reason is simple!
As long as Yushi and Qingliu want to question Yan Shifan...

Yan Shifan backhandedly linked all corruption matters to Jiajing!

There you go!
Yushi and Qingliu immediately lost all temper.

Do you want to investigate even the emperor?
how?

Want to rebel!
and so!
This is an unsolvable problem!
If you have to solve it.

It must be done from the source.

That is: restructure the temples and clarify the financial ownership of the empire!
The treasury is the treasury.

The inner library is the inner library.

It cannot be generalized.

"For example, His Majesty wanted to build Afang Palace before. As long as this national-level project does not stop for a day, the officials of the Shaofu can continue to take money from the treasury."

Yin Lie organized his speech and said: "Stones, wood, and transportation requirements, each item is related to Your Majesty. Who can check? Who dares to check!?"

Li Si: "..."

Afang Palace has stopped.

But Yin Lie still brought up the old things again!

All of a sudden!
Jiuqing Shaofu stood up immediately and said: "What do Qin Yucheng mean by this? Are you questioning whether we are enriching our own pockets!?"

Done!

Jiuqing Shaofu bowed his hands to the First Emperor and said: "Your Majesty, all the account books for the construction of Afang Palace have been recorded, and the details can be checked at any time! I hope your Majesty will learn from it!"

The reaction of Jiuqing Shaofu was very big!

no way!
Yin Lie had already bombarded Jiuqing Shaofu in the face, and it was impossible for the latter to have no reaction.

On the Langya stage.

Ying Zheng frowned: "Qin Qing, this matter is huge and involves many things. Even if we want to investigate... we can only wait until we return to Xianyang to conduct detailed inquiries."

Jiuqing Shaofu: "..."

Young Master Jiuqing was quite helpless when he heard this. His Majesty now only believes in Qin Lie and really wants to investigate them thoroughly...

The reason is just because of Yin Lie's words!

This inevitably made Master Jiuqing feel a little worried.

in the field.

"Your Majesty, my intention is not to investigate the young master's house immediately."

Yin Lie explained: "But the Young Mansion is an official of the inner court. In the name of His Majesty, he takes care of both the financial power of the inner treasury and the construction and construction of the outer dynasty, and yet he can reach into the treasury at any time... It is inappropriate!!"

Speaking of this.

Yin Lie turned around and said, "Your Majesty! Let me give you another example. The servant of Jiuqing is in charge of the emperor's court affairs and foreign affairs."

"This also means that there is no distinction between inside and outside... The national horse administration is the national horse administration, and the court horse care is the palace horse care."

"If they are mixed together, it will lead to opportunities at the institutional level."

"Yang Duanhe, the servant of Jiuqing, can enclose land and embezzle money from the treasury at any time in the name of raising horses for the palace... Can Jiuqing refuse to govern Su Neishi? Do you dare to refuse?"

"However, in fact, the daily expenses for the court's horses should be allocated from the internal treasury, not the national treasury!"

……

to be honest!
It is the treasury that Jiuqing is responsible for governing internal history. It needs to bear many expenditures such as national projects for foreign dynasties, the Northern Expedition, and official salaries.

The inner treasury of Jiuqing Shaofu is responsible for all the needs of the palace!

No matter what.

The system of the Three Officials and Nine Officials is not very clearly divided between the inner court and the outer court.

This is definitely a huge institutional problem!
Under the Langya stage.

"..."

Yang Duanhe, the servant of Jiuqing, raised his head in confusion!

what's the situation?
When did he enclose the land?

Don't talk nonsense, kid!
Yang Duanhe Ben was a military commander who debuted together with Wuchenghou Wang Jian.

Not only did Wang Jian become famous, but Yang Duanhe also made the first contribution in quelling the rebellion of Jun Chengyu of Chang'an.

Now he is ranked as the servant of the Nine Ministers, a proper and important minister with both civil and military skills!

suddenly!

Ying Zheng asked: "Yang Qing? What do you think of Qin Qing's words?"

Yang Duanhe: "..."
