Qin Shi Mingyue Taoist Master Uncle

In addition, the weights and measures system and weights and measures established during Shang Yang's reform were used as standard instruments and promoted throughout the country.

In addition, Yingzheng also issued a decree on the same track for cars.

Before the unification of the Central Plains, the countries had never had a unified system, and the size of the carriages was different in different places, so the lanes were also wide and narrow.

But now that the country is unified, vehicles have to travel on different lanes, which is very inconvenient.

Therefore, it is now stipulated that the distance between the two wheels on a vehicle shall be changed to six feet, so that the distance between the wheels is the same.In this way, it is much easier for vehicles to travel across the country.

In addition to these, changes have been made to many places, especially roads and passes.

Due to successive years of wars, the various regions were on guard against each other, and the vassal states built many fortresses in various places, and the roads between countries were also of different widths, which seriously affected traffic exchanges and hindered the centralized state from controlling various regions.

So now it is necessary to order the demolition of these fortresses and fortresses, and build three roads centered on Xianyang one after another.

A line goes straight to the east through the Yan and Qi regions.One goes directly to Wu and Chu areas in the south.

There is also a straight road from Xianyang to Jiuyuan, which was built to strengthen the defense against the Huns.

The road is fifty steps wide, and a tree is planted every three feet along the road.In the middle is the emperor's royal road, which is marked with obvious signs, and ordinary people are not allowed to walk.A transportation network extending in all directions with Xianyang as the center has been formed, linking all parts of the country together.

This series of plans are all decisions made after careful consideration.

Such a set of combined punches not only facilitates management, but also strengthens the connection between the central and local governments, allowing all power to be concentrated in the hands of the monarch.

The ministers also sighed slightly after hearing such an arrangement. They originally thought that His Majesty could rest for a while after gaining the world, but they didn't expect to make such a big commotion.

There are also courtiers who advise and persuade, hoping to slow down and not be so impatient.

After all, the six countries have just been unified now, so they should rest and recuperate. As for the reform, it is safer to take it slowly.

But Ying Zheng didn't pay attention to it. He has always been decisive and straightforward in his work, and he doesn't like to procrastinate.

As long as the direction is determined, it must be completed as soon as possible, and a relatively high quality must be ensured.

It is precisely because of this outstanding ability and efficient working method that he is able to manage such a huge empire.

Ying Zheng also knew that what the other party said was reasonable. It stands to reason that now that the world has been conquered, the subjects should be given a holiday.

But in his opinion, since the emperor himself is maintaining such a high-intensity working state, the officials and people below should naturally follow the footsteps of the monarch closely.

In this way, the Qin Empire can become a chariot that looks down on everyone, invincible.

Now that His Majesty the Great First Emperor has made up his mind, there is no room for other people to object, so they can only follow orders.

In this way, after the establishment of the empire, new decrees were promulgated one by one...

Time flies, and three months have passed like this.

On a sunny afternoon, the First Emperor Yingzheng rarely had a little free time and came to the gazebo in the imperial garden.

And even invited Beichen to play chess with him.

After Bei Chen dropped a chess piece, he said, "Your Majesty, I see you are a little absent-minded today. What's on your mind?"

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "Does it look like I have something to worry about?"

Bei Chen smiled, "My chess skills have always been so-so. If Your Majesty had been concentrating on playing games with me, he would have won long ago. Besides, you are always busy with everything. If you have nothing to do, how can you expect me, an idler?"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng put down the pawns in his hand and said, "Yes, I have really thought about it recently."

"I don't know what His Majesty is thinking?"

Beichen continued to ask.

Hearing the question, Ying Zheng did not answer immediately, but asked, "The national teacher has a keen mind, and there are few people in Qin who understand my mind better than you. You may wish to guess about this matter."

Hearing the words, Beichen raised his eyes to look at the other party and said, "Since he ascended the throne, His Majesty has successively promulgated many edicts, such that vehicles are on the same track, books are on the same text, Qin laws are enforced, and weights and measures are unified."

"Although such a decision is correct, it is not easy for the common people to accept these things. Presumably these things are what you are worried about..."

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

Hearing Beichen's words, Ying Zheng didn't hide anything, and said straight to the point, "Yes, although all the territories of the six countries have now belonged to the Great Qin, there are not small differences between the people of different countries, whether it is living habits or writing customs. .”

"In order to truly unite the tens of millions of people in the empire, I abolished their previous systems, laws, and the literal currency they used."

"But to accomplish this, the resistance encountered is greater than I imagined."

"The changes in coins, weights and measures, etc. are better. After all, they will not have an essential impact on the lives of the people, so they have not received much rejection."

"What is really difficult to enforce is Qin's laws and writing."

Upon hearing this, Bei Chen said, "Qin's laws are relatively strict. Obeying the new laws means that we have to bear greater pressure, and we have to pay a greater price after violating the laws."

"Originally, the people of the six countries were afraid of the Great Qin. Now that they have seen the strict Qin laws, they are definitely unwilling to accept it in their hearts."

Ying Zheng nodded, what Bei Chen said was the most crucial point.

Then he went on to say, "In addition to the law, the promotion of writing has also encountered relatively large difficulties."

"After hundreds of years of evolution and use, the characters of various countries have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is very difficult for them to suddenly accept new characters."

"What's more, quite a few people still regard Daqin as an enemy."

Beichen said.
