Starting today, he, the first emperor Yingzheng, wants to open up a prosperous China and create a different world.

The enthronement ceremony was grand and mighty, and Qin Shihuang's appearance in the declaration was only a small part of it, and a lot of content was carried out besides it.After two or three hours, it was completely over.

This enthronement ceremony not only gave birth to the first emperor in the world, but also opened a new page in the history of China with the establishment of the Great Qin Empire...

Yingzheng got his wish and became the first emperor, possessing the supreme status.

But at the same time, his work became more and more busy.

Originally, he was just a king of Qin, and he only needed to manage the country he inherited from the previous king.

But now that the six countries are unified, he is no longer the king of Qin, but the monarch of the people of the world.So there are much more things to deal with and consider.

Originally, he was a very hardworking king, and now he didn't even have many rest events. In order to urge himself to complete the tasks and avoid slack, he made a rule that he must review memorials weighing more than [-] catties every day!

But the most critical issue at present is not here.

For the establishment of a new empire, he needs to think about one thing, and that is what kind of system to use for management.

The State of Qin believes in legalism, so the system is naturally the most important thing, and there must be no sloppy.After all, once such a general direction is set, it cannot be easily changed.

For this reason, he specially asked Li Si, Feng Quji, Wang Wan and other important officials to come over to discuss the matter together.

After hearing Ying Zheng's questioning, Wang Wan was the first to express her opinion.

"In my opinion, the enfeoffment system has lasted for thousands of years, so it must have its irreplaceable advantages. The Zhou Dynasty enfeoffed the world and won the fortune of the country for [-] years. Our Great Qin should also learn from it."

His attitude is obvious, he supports the continuation of the enfeoffment system, and believes that this can better maintain the stability of the country.

But at this moment, Li Si raised a different opinion.

"Your Majesty, I think the enfeoffment system is inappropriate."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng said, "If there's anything wrong, it's okay to speak up."

Li Si went on to say, "Zhou Wenwu enshrined many children with the same surname, and then they were alienated. They attacked each other like enemies, and the princes even punished each other. The emperor of Zhou could not stop it, and then the Zhou family fell apart."

Li Si's meaning is also very clear. He feels that although the Zhou Dynasty has existed for eight hundred years, the implementation of the enfeoffment system gave the princes and kings too much power.

Coupled with the fact that the emperor lives in the palace, it is difficult to effectively manage and restrain the princes, which will lead to different forces attacking each other and causing chaos.

Once you can't control the princes you enfeoff, you may even endanger yourself.If some princes develop too strong, or unite with each other, the consequences will be disastrous.

King Wu of Zhou led eight hundred princes to crusade against King Zhou, and finally destroyed the six-hundred-year-old Shang Dynasty.The Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period were too powerful, causing Zhou Tianzi to exist in name only.

Daqin cannot repeat such mistakes.

After hearing these words, Ying Zheng asked, "Then what's Li Aiqing's opinion?"

.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Then I don't know what Li Aiqing's opinion is?"

Hearing the question, Li Si cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I think that since Great Qin is an unprecedented empire, the system implemented should not be the same as that of the previous dynasty."

"The enfeoffment system will only reduce the influence of the royal power. Therefore, I feel that a brand new system can be implemented."

Ying Zheng heard the words and said, "Let's talk about it in detail."

Li Si continued, "Your Majesty can divide Kyushu into units such as counties and counties, and send appropriate officials to each area to manage them. As for these people, you will appoint them yourself, and no one else can make the transfer."

"And you can only give officials the right to manage, but not the right to rule, so that they can't disobey your orders and cause trouble."

Hearing this, Wang Wan on the side said, "If you don't give them the right to rule, they will have no prestige. Then how to govern the place well?"

Li Si replied, "Local officials are only working for His Majesty, they don't need prestige, what they have to do is to spread the prestige of our Great Qin to everyone's heart, and all people can only believe in His Majesty."

"If every subject is in awe of Great Qin, then naturally there will be no more chaos. On the contrary, if each local government is in its own right, people will be confused instead."

After answering the other party's question, Li Si continued to share his thoughts.

"As for the specific structure of the country, I already have an idea."

"For the convenience of management, the minister thought that hierarchical management could be adopted. All areas are divided into four levels. Li, Pavilion, County, and County."

"The county has a county guard, a county magistrate, a county lieutenant, a county supervisor and a censor, and the county guard is in charge of the subordinate counties and roads. The county has a county magistrate, the county magistrate, the county lieutenant, and the county magistrate is in charge of the subordinate townships."

"The township has ranks, the township assistants, the township swimmers, the three elders of the township, the township soldiers, and the township has ranks in charge of the subordinate pavilions. The pavilion has a pavilion chief, a pavilion assistant, a pavilion marquis, a thief, a pavilion father, a pavilion soldier, and a pavilion chief in charge. The subordinates are in various places.

The head of the pavilion manages all the subordinates, and there are Lizheng, elders, Du Zai, Lijianmen, Lizu, and Lizheng are in charge of the subordinates.Shichang, Wuchang, Shichang is in charge of ten subordinate families, and Wuchang is in charge of five subordinate families. Within Shiwu, each family pickets each other. "

"It's like this layer by layer, which can make the country maintain a greater degree of stability."

"In addition, in order to avoid excessive power of local officials, a form of decentralization can be adopted to make them check and balance each other."

"For example, the highest official in a county is the sheriff, but in addition to the sheriff, we can also set up other positions."

"Setting up the county chief to be in charge of administration, the county lieutenant to be in charge of the military, and the censor to be in charge of inspecting officials. In this way, each of them can perform their own duties, which can not only avoid work chaos, but also allow officials to restrain each other and prevent one party from taking the lead. .”

Ying Zheng nodded slightly when he heard the words, and asked again, "Now our Daqin has a vast territory. If we divide it into counties, there may be dozens of them."

"Then how do the sheriffs of these counties manage?"

Li Si said, "I believe that officials like county guards and county lieutenants are still big officials, so they should be under the unified jurisdiction of the central government."

"For example, if the minister is the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, he can manage various regions through the county guards, while the Taiwei restrains the county lieutenants. As for the supervision and history of various places, it will be supervised by the doctor censor. And the three princes, such as us, will naturally be handled by your majesty. Directly."
