Qiang Qin

Seeing that Fusu has already made a decree to be elected in the world, those old people who are so concerned about Fusu's marriage because they really have nothing to do are temporarily relieved, which also makes Fusu feel relieved.Now that the decree has been issued, Fusu also knows that there is no possibility of changing his words, everything can only go with the flow, and this matter will not be resolved in a short time, so he will put this major event after the election on the On one side, he began to focus on state affairs and political affairs again.

With the end of the war, Fusu followed the policy of recuperating with the people when the Western Han Dynasty was founded, so the world is very stable. Now that there is food and clothing, the people in those places will not always think about rebellion as before. .Seeing the stability of the country, Fusu began to want to take action against the current political system.To be honest, for Fusu, a person with modern thinking, the system of Sangong and Jiuqing set up by Qin Shi really made him feel strange. But he still doesn't know much about the functions, and he also feels that there are too many and complicated official positions in the court, which is really not conducive to the operation of the state machine.Now that I have come to this era, I should make some changes to the system while changing the history, so that the development of China will be faster!With such a mentality, Fusu began to conceive the details of how to reform in the court.

Fusu compared the political systems of different dynasties and dynasties in history that he knew, and even thought about some foreign things, but in the end he gave up the constitutional monarchy and democracy that appeared in the [-]th century system.These systems can only be used when the people's wisdom is fully open, and the level of education of the people in the Great Qin Dynasty is not generally low. Only a very small number of people are literate, let alone others.And Fusu also knew that if he really did that, all the courtiers would oppose him, and no one would accept this kind of thing that completely surpassed this era.And in Fusu's heart, there is another most important reason that he doesn't want to say, that is, everyone has selfishness. Of course, a country that has been conquered through untold hardships hopes to control it forever in the hands of himself or his descendants. In fact, he is not a saint, he can let power slip away from his hands.In this way, Fusu could only find a suitable one among the political systems of the past dynasties.

If you talk about which dynasty is the most powerful in China, everyone will say Han and Tang without hesitation, so later the talents in the Central Plains are called Han people, and the gathering place of Chinese in foreign countries is called Chinatown.Fusu was no different from ordinary people. He also immediately thought of the Han and Tang dynasties, and then he continued to think about the political systems of the two dynasties that he could learn from.

The Han Dynasty, as the dynasty that followed the Qin Dynasty, basically retained all the administrative planning of the Qin Dynasty, but there was a slight change in its core, that is, from the severe punishment advocated by the Legalists to the Confucianism and internal law. With the rule of Confucianism, the common people will keep their own place. It was not until hundreds of years later that the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out when they couldn't survive.Fusu naturally decided to adopt the Confucianism for his own use, which was very helpful to the consolidation of the regime, but Fusu chose to look down on the bureaucratic system that he was still not very familiar with.

Then he looked at the Tang Dynasty. The imperial examination system and the three provinces and six departments system jumped into Fusu's mind at the same time.Fusu is quite familiar with the system of three provinces and six ministries, especially the six ministries of officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, which were used until the Qing Dynasty, which shows how suitable it is for appearing in China.The same is true for the imperial examination system. Until later generations, the college entrance examination, high school entrance examination, and even the civil service examination were all copies of that set.The imperial examination system can make it possible for those people who have no chance to be an official to have a way to enter the political arena. This is very helpful to open up the wisdom of the people, because if you want to be an official, you have to study, and the talents of the people can only be developed after reading the book. come out.And Fusu also knows that once these people have a thought, then they will not put their minds on rebellion, but will study hard to get fame, so that in reality, they can suppress the possibility of people rebelling to the bottom.Moreover, those scholars will become a powerful force to support his own court, so Fusu thinks this is a policy that should be implemented.

After deciding on the central system, Fusu turned his attention to the localities again. Obviously, the current prefecture and county system is actually imperfect, not as good as the prefecture and county system of the Han Dynasty, but Fusu still thought that the reason for the demise of the Han Dynasty was because The local power was too great, which led to the separatism of the warlords. In the end, even the emperor was held hostage by others, and the late Tang Dynasty was like the Han Dynasty, so he naturally abandoned the systems of these two dynasties.In terms of internal stability, Fusu thinks that the Song Dynasty is a good model, but unfortunately, the various systems of the Song Dynasty are too complicated, and it is not something Fusu who only dabbles in history can figure out, so he still thinks It is better to use the provincial system in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties.

In the past few days, Fusu has been constantly combining the system he knows with the current reality, trying to find a system that is conducive to his own rule and development, so that the Great Qin Dynasty can become a Chinese nation like Tang and Han. proud.Of course, all of this is just slowly taking shape in Fusu's mind. As for realizing all of this, I'm afraid it won't be complete in 20 years, and Fusu may not even be able to see it in his lifetime. I hope that I can walk out such a broad road, and that future generations can continue to develop along this road, so that Daqin will survive forever.

And just one day before Fusu thought of discussing this matter with Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, he thought of a further plan, which was to learn from the Ming Dynasty to set up a cabinet, so that he could guarantee that he would discuss the matter in the future. Whether the emperor is good or not, at least there is a cabinet that can handle government affairs.Think about the Ming Dynasty, although many emperors ignored the affairs of the court, its development was faster than that of the later Qing Dynasty, and the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were very diligent. This is the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty Even if there is no good emperor, as long as the cabinet ministers are wise enough, the country can still develop well.

In this way, Fusu sorted out everything he had imagined, and then left Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Han Xin, and Meng Tian, ​​four of his most trusted people, to bring forward his ideas after the one-day court meeting.

At the very beginning, the four of them didn't understand Fusu's sudden proposal to reform the system. They only made such a move when Fusu was eager to show his political skills after taking over the world.But as Fusu continued to explain, people like Chen Ping and Zhang Liang, who are very proficient in political affairs, saw the beneficial side of his proposal.Especially when Fusu proposed the creative move of using the imperial examination system to select officials through examinations, it gave them a refreshing feeling.

Surprised that Fusu could come up with such an ingenious move, Zhang Liang was also a little worried and said: "Although the emperor's method can make more civilians become officials, so that there will be more people who support our Great Qin, but those powerful people from all over the world How could people be willing? I’m afraid they will do everything possible to obstruct it. Shang Yang’s reform in Qin Dynasty also aroused fierce opposition from the old nobles. If we do it now, the old things will repeat itself.”

Chen Ping smiled and said: "Master Zhang is a little overwhelmed. The world today is different from before. The nobles in those days were all inherited from several generations, and they had strengths that even the king could not ignore, but now they are hundreds of thousands of people. The so-called famous families have already been overwhelmed by the wars of these years, so how can they still have the energy to oppose the emperor's move?"

When Fusu heard this, he felt that it was very reasonable. He really should thank those people from the six countries who rebelled. In this way, those who might have hindered his reforms would have died and fled. to the minimum.Then Fusu said: "Zifang, in fact, if you say that you get an official by learning, the people who are most likely to be officials are those from aristocratic families. After all, there are only a few literate people among the common people, let alone those who have enough knowledge. I have taken part in the scientific examination. So I predict that there will not be many people who object to this imperial examination, and when they find out that this imperial examination will affect their status in the future, everything has become a conclusion."

Zhang Liang thought about it for a while, so he stopped dwelling on this point, and started discussing other measures with Fusu and the others.This discussion lasted for a whole day. After repeated consideration by several people, Fusu decided to use the excuse of not enough officials in the DPRK and China to announce to the whole world that the imperial examination will select talents as officials. When the new policy of imperial examination can be accepted After that, slowly implement other measures.

Fusu knew that so many new systems could not be completed in a short period of time, so he agreed with them and changed everything slowly in a gradual manner.

Fusu was already thinking about how to govern the country better so that Daqin could go further, but the Huns would not allow Fusu to design their own future so comfortably, because they had no food to live on, so In the cold weather of December, tens of thousands of Hun cavalry appeared outside the city of Yanmen County, and launched an attack on this city with few soldiers.

For a long time, the Huns did not send troops to plunder, so that the soldiers of the Qin army guarding the city were unprepared. However, within a day, Yanmen County was destroyed, and the beacon fire was lit in an instant, and spread directly to the soldiers guarding the north. In the ears of Meng Yi of the county...
