The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 944 On Governing the Country

Zhou Shi was quite courageous, but after hearing the emperor's words, he couldn't help being startled. Even Fazheng, who was traveling with the emperor, was quite frightened.

"Your Majesty! No way! The Great Wall was built with manpower and material resources, and it has not yet been fully completed. If it is abolished, it will be a disaster for thousands of years!"

Fazheng cupped his hands and said.

Fusu looked at the Great Wall with distant eyes: "When governing a country, no matter how high and majestic the city is, it will be breached one day; I think that in order to prevent the rebellion of the world, the father gathered all the soldiers in Xianyang and cast it as gold. Twelve people, selling Fengdi, killing heroes, I hope my Daqin country can last forever, how about taking it over? After the father died, it really obeyed the sentence that the first emperor died and the land was divided."

"I have done what my father failed to do back then. The Xiongnu and Hu people have now belonged to my Great Qin. I believe that my successor can definitely manage such a huge territory. If I don't even have this confidence, then She is not worthy of sitting on the throne of Jiuchongxiao, what do you think, Aiqing?"

"This..." Fazheng thought for a moment, looking at the empress in the distance. If Wushuanger, king of Qin, ascended the throne in the future and became the next king of Qin, there would naturally be no problem. After all, half of Wushuanger's blood was Xiongnu Nobles, but if Wu Shuang'er hadn't inherited the throne, it's hard to say whether the Huns and Hus would rebel in the future.

"My minister believes that in the future, I will be able to suppress the four directions and deter the young people." Fazheng said seriously, the emperor has confidence in himself, and he must also have confidence in himself.

The most difficult thing to control on the grassland is that the herdsmen live in pursuit of water and grass, not like the Central Plains people, who have their own fixed family business, and it is best to collect taxes.

However, since the emperor had a whim and built an earthen city in a fixed area on the grassland, herdsmen from all over the country would sell their cattle, sheep, leather, meat and other items here. There are also Huns who moved their families to live in the pass.

Because some people want to live on the grasslands, while others yearn for a stable life in the interior, with a fixed income and farming.

As for the issue of land annexation, it was the one that Fusu considered the most.Since ancient times, the biggest problem in all Chinese dynasties has been the land issue. The reason why the people are willing to follow the bandits to rebel is almost entirely because the land annexation makes them unable to survive, so they rise up to visit.

As long as the imperial court can guarantee a piece of land for the people to cultivate, and the people can have a bite to eat, who would be willing to get up and visit, and do things like pinning their heads to their waistbands?
It's just that it is still in the era of war and chaos in the world, and there is no way to talk about land annexation. However, there are a lot of unowned wasteland everywhere. According to the regulations, there is no need to pay taxes for two years. If a person flees from another country, the imperial court will distribute farm tools for free, and the cattle will naturally be exchanged for grain.

At the beginning, the cattle were provided free of charge, but later some of them were in short supply, so they were changed to paid ones. We don’t need money, but we need food.

Qin State has now become a behemoth, and if it wants to buy grain from other countries, it can only do it secretly.Because other countries have regulations, once it is discovered that they are selling grain to Qin, they will be punished.

Perhaps there are bold people who dare to make fun of their own lives, but no one dares to make fun of the lives of the entire clan.

Therefore, there are very few big clans who dare to take the risk of beheading and exterminating their families to do business with Qin State Qin State.

The imperial court encouraged people in Qin to buy grain from different places to reduce domestic consumption.

"This year's grain harvest is no longer a problem." Fusu and Fa were chatting.

Fazheng said: "If Your Majesty wants to go to war, it may take some time to prepare, at least until the potato harvest brought back by Neptune from America."

"The harvest of that thing is certain."

Fazheng couldn't understand why the emperor had such a positive attitude towards the good potato harvest, but he didn't ask any further questions.

"Life on the grasslands is hard, but since the surrender to my Great Qin, herdsmen everywhere have gotten used to enjoying life, and it is indeed difficult to start a war."

Fu Su agreed and said: "Government of officials is the most difficult topic in the history. If the government of officials cannot be effectively supervised, the country will not last long. Since the first emperor of our dynasty, the administration of officials has been divided into three powers: politics, military and finance. I still feel that it is not right. That’s right, it’s better to set up an assassin.”

"The so-called inspectors specialize in picking up the conduct of officials big and small in a county. Whether an official is upright or not, there may be unjust, false or wrongly decided cases. This is the first! The second is greed. Since ancient times, officials have been nothing more than the word "greed". Public grievances, so if this point is not done well, the whole country will end sooner or later.”

"This is of course nothing to do." Fazheng was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. All the deployment of officials in the country was handled by him alone. Now that the emperor said such things to him, it was inevitable that he would be afraid, and it was normal.

"There is a way that works from top to bottom. As an emperor, I also set an example. I have no desire to enjoy it." Fusu said in a low tone, "This country was created by soldiers with every inch of blood. I went to the battlefield and fought hard. I can't bear it If you trample on it, you won't be able to see other people trample it."

"After setting up the speaker a few years ago, just now the whole court was arguing, and they all clamored for me to remove the speaker. Why do you think so?"

Fazheng said bluntly: "It is uncomfortable to be scolded by the officials who inspect the conduct of all officials, so I ask the emperor to dismiss the officials."

"I'm afraid there were hundreds of officials demoted during that time." Fu Su naturally remembered it clearly.

Fazheng nodded: "There are 130 people in total, and 20 of them were attended by officials. After being verified by the Minister of Criminal Affairs, they were indeed involved in corruption and bribery, and they were punished according to the law. The calls to cancel the spokesperson have also decreased."

"There is one more thing you didn't say, the situation of giving gifts in the court has also decreased a lot." Fusu laughed strangely: "At the beginning, I ordered that all those who gave gifts to officials would be sent to the army, and some people jumped out to oppose me. , this Great Qin Kingdom was still relaxed at the very beginning, the land of the Liao and Liao cavalry, at that time, anyone who wanted to be appointed or dismissed was appointed and dismissed, and whoever wanted to be promoted was promoted. No matter what it is like now, everything must be Look at the faces of the officials."

Fazheng could hear Fusu's playfulness, and was very moved in his heart. The fact that the emperor could say such words to himself was enough to show that the emperor completely regarded himself as the closest person.
