Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 390 Boring Political Struggle

"allow!"

Shi Huang pondered for a moment and nodded.

In fact, Dongyi was not in danger, but as Great Qin's offshore business was in full swing, it was time to plant Great Qin's flag all over the offshore.

Dongyi are widely distributed in the Northeast and offshore areas. After Tudou, the Northeast and offshore areas will sooner or later be the targets of Qin's conquest.

"The other thing is the scientific research funds of the Craftsmanship Bureau..." Zhao Si looked at the First Emperor.

"You can allocate it yourself and withdraw it from the gold and silver transported back from the Aviation Trade Military Mansion." The First Emperor nodded.

Zhao Si nodded happily.

Obviously, because of Zhao Si's deliberate guidance, the First Emperor paid more attention to the craftsmanship bureau.

Zhao Si's ultimate goal is of course to make the Craftsman Bureau independent, but now artillery can only shoot three feet, and steel smelting can only be used for agricultural purposes. It is too early to talk about these now.

After drawing a pie for the First Emperor, the goal was achieved, and I chatted with the First Emperor for a while.

It wasn't until the First Emperor opened his mouth to let him go that Zhao Si left the palace and went straight to Xianyang County.

At present, in Xianyang County, Xiao He serves as the county magistrate, Zhou Bo serves as the county magistrate, and Cao Shen serves as the county captain. It can be said that the entire Xianyang County is the hall of Zhao Simenke.

Of course, in the end, it still depends on the officials.

There is no shortage of experienced old officials in Xianyang County, there is no shortage of sneaky people, and there is no shortage of lackeys and spies of noble families.

Xianyang City is the political center of the entire world. Even if it is a county, the turmoil and turmoil in it are no less than that of a county.

However, Xiao He is still Xiao He.

After all, Wang Zuo was a talented person, not to mention the help of Xiao He and Zhou Bo and Cao Shen, so he did not take up the post alone.

The three of them were born in the same place, and they have a tacit understanding of each other for many years. They are all talented people. The three of them worked together and in just half a year, they had clarified all the affairs of Xianyang County. All government officials obey orders.

After clarifying the county government, Xiao He began to deal with the old cases of Shen Nian that had accumulated in Xianyang County. Within a month, he solved all the old cases, mysterious cases, unresolved cases, and unclear matters that had accumulated in Xianyang City.

Because Xianyang County is the center of the world, although the public security is better than other areas, there are more people in high and powerful positions, making it more difficult for the county to handle affairs. Before Xiao He took office, the presence of Xianyang County was repeatedly reduced until Xiao He took office. From then on, Xianyang County Government was truly stunned by not being afraid of power and enforcing the law impartially.

Of course, part of Xiao He's confidence in enforcing the law impartially and not fearing power was given by Zhao Si.

When Zhao Si stepped into Xianyang County House, he was greeted by Xiao He, Cao Shen and Zhou Bo.

"Shangqing!"

Xiao He, Cao Shen, Zhou Bo and others saluted together.

"No need to be polite." Zhao Si waved his hands, knelt down and said with a smile.

"At present, Xianyang's government affairs are clear and clear. You have gained a good reputation not long after you took office. You have been able to accomplish so many things in such a short period of time. Now it seems that letting you serve as a county talent is somewhat of an understatement."

Xiao He heard this and shook his head and said: "Qin Law is already perfect enough. I just govern Xianyang strictly according to Qin Law. There is nothing worthy of praise."

"Why do you need to lie to me? I have something to do with you this time." Zhao Si waved his hand.

Xiao He believed that it was crucial for Zhao Si to stand behind him to protect him from the wind and rain, but there was no doubt about Xiao He's personal ability.

Perhaps it was because the starting point given by Zhao Si to Xiao He, Cao Shen, Zhou Bo and others in this time and space was too high, so that the three of them were a little too modest.

"Please give me your instructions." Xiao He nodded.

"You should be aware of His Majesty's plans and plans. After much thought, you are the only ones who can handle these matters properly." Zhao Si looked at Xiao He and the others.

Xiao He pondered for a moment, nodded and asked: "Is it only for the nobles who moved to the pass or for the entire Xianyang?"

"We will not promote the world for the time being..." Zhao Si shook his head.

"The difficulty with implementing suing and suing this time is that the nobles will inevitably hide their property, move goods, and even the carriages and horses will be secretly reduced. Even if suing is supplemented, it will be very problematic to implement it, let alone There will definitely be people who will interfere with this, and there will probably be people in the county government who act as spies for others.

In addition, although the relocated nobles are no longer in Guanzhong, they are related to each other by marriage. After several months of migration, the wealth of Wang Ling's children has become widely known. At present, the relocated nobles have secretly established connections with countless wealthy families. From time to time, there are many children from the family who serve as officials in Guanzhong, and there is a lot of resistance from both top and bottom.

But you don't need to worry about the pressure from above. Just go ahead and act in accordance with Qin's laws. In addition, the government officials and officials may not do their best. I will let Fan Kuai lead the fifty-feathered forest army to obey your orders. Be sure to keep the calculations in mind. The matter is handled properly. "

Xiao He nodded.

Zhao Si made it clear that he was willing to take the blame for their platform, so all they had to deal with was the nobles' small means of hiding goods and transferring assets. In this way, the pressure was not actually that great, not to mention that there were also The Fifty Yulin Army obeyed his orders.

The Fifty Yulin Army may not be very strong, but the Yulin Army specializes in guarding the palace. This is an attitude.

"Are you confident?" Zhao Si asked.

"It's not difficult." Xiao He, Cao Shen and Zhou Bo looked at each other and shook their heads with a smile.

"It's just that if we do this, my lord's reputation may be harmed by us." Cao Shen also smiled.

……

Under Zhao Si's instructions, Xianyang County Government launched an operation.

On the same day, under Xiao He's order, the county government began to post notices throughout Xianyang City to spread the word.

Gao Min is a supplement to Suo Min and is not a separate decree.

That is to say, to encourage the report to be untrue.If the report is true, all the property of the defendant will be confiscated, and he will be fined to be guarded at the border for one year, and the whistleblower will be rewarded with half of the confiscated property.

Because of the high rewards, people began to report merchants on that day for hoarding goods and not paying taxes truthfully.

Of course, it’s just middle-level reporting on each other.

The upper class nobles have their own playing fields and rules.

The first batch of people to suffer were the middle-level nobles and small and medium-sized business officials. Since the key targets of the attack were not them, Xiao He, Zhou Bo, Cao Shen and others chose to be dealt with lightly.

At this time, the three of them were able to maintain a good reputation, and at most they only suffered some minor criticism, and the middle and lower class nobles and merchants did not have the connections to impeach Xiao He and others.

As time went on, Suan Min continued to be promoted. After the first wave of reporting boom, middle- and lower-class aristocratic merchants began to pay taxes voluntarily due to harsh penalties, and reports became less and less.

The first wave of reports passed quickly.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao He followed Zhao Si's instructions and came to Wang's house to perform a big show.

Xiao He entered the Wang family and took the initiative to carry out the calculation.

There were more than a dozen cartloads of Qin money pulled out from Wang's house that day.

It's unbelievable.

After all, Wang Jian was the only Chehou in the Qin Dynasty. Everyone knew that Wang Jian's active cooperation was a show, but everyone also understood the First Emperor's determination to carry out calculations.

After the Wang family, then the Xiang family and the Yu family took the initiative to request the county government to enter the family to settle the relationship.

Several more carts of Qin money were being pulled out.

As the drama came to an end, Xiao He officially raised the butcher's knife against the relocated nobles.

What followed was endless impeachment.

The reputations of Xiao He and the others took a turn for the worse, and Zhao Si's previous good reputation was also ruined.

Among them, it was not only the relocated nobles who contributed, but also many nobles in the pass who raised flags and shouted.

Of course, their impeachment was only aimed at Xiao He, Zhou Bo, Cao Shen, and not against the decree of Suan Min.

There is no doubt about the power of the First Emperor. The nobles in the Qin Dynasty did not dare to attack the calculations issued by the First Emperor himself. However, there were policies and countermeasures.After all, policy implementation depends on people. As long as no one implements it, the so-called imperial edict is just a piece of waste paper.

They started with the personal ethics of Xiao He and others, and at the same time they also began to attack Zhao Si for not knowing people well.

In short, we are trying to kick down the executor of the misfortune.

No one wants to pay...

As for the nobles in the Guan Dynasty who were waving flags and shouting, they were simply speechless.

No one can say whether the First Emperor will stop the turmoil by relocating the nobles.

Or will the First Emperor restart the conspiracy again in the future?After all, calculations and reports have been written into Qin's laws, and when to implement them is a matter of one sentence.

The cases of the First Emperor were piled up with overwhelming impeachments.

In the palace...

Zhao Si is assisting the First Emperor in handling official affairs.

There have been too many impeachment documents recently, and it is impossible for the First Emperor to read them one by one. Zhao Si's task is to pick out the impeachment documents and present the specific documents to the First Emperor.

The First Emperor was leaning back on the recliner leisurely, while Amber accepted the First Emperor's touch helplessly.

Zhao Si knelt down in front of the desk and opened the official documents.

"It's impeachment again. Do you want to hear it, Your Majesty?" Zhao Si looked at the First Emperor.

“Who is impeached?”

"mine."

The First Emperor suddenly became interested and said with a smile: "Read it and listen."

"Shang Qing Zhao Si..."

Zhao Si read out the memorial to impeach him word for word, and praised the other party's literary talent.

He is worthy of being knowledgeable, and he can also quote ancient scriptures to illustrate the present.

Hmm... The general content is to impeach Zhao Si for not being respectful enough as a minister, and for being arrogant because of the closeness and trust of the First Emperor...

There is no specific content, because Zhao Si has indeed done nothing wrong, so he can only personally attack Zhao Si personally.

The First Emperor burst out laughing when he heard this, and looked at Zhao Si, who was bored and had lost his integrity, and said: "It's not wrong to impeach. As a minister, you are so slack in state affairs..."

Zhao Si heard the sound and quickly sat upright with a normal look on his face.

When the First Emperor saw it, he looked really human-like and smiled.

"okay……"

The First Emperor waved his hand.

"Who wrote the letter?"

"Doctor Su Qi is waiting for the imperial edict."

"Draft a decree to appoint Dr. Su Qian as the magistrate of Longchuan County to supervise and compile the affairs of Baiyue to educate the barbarian people." The First Emperor pondered for a moment.

Longchuan County is located in Lingnan.

Although the salaries of Dr. Daizhao and the county magistrate are almost the same, and the county magistrate has greater power than Dr. Taizhao, but from a noble official in the central government to the land of Lingnan... it is definitely a rise and fall, and it can even be said that It's not an exaggeration to say that he was exiled.

"If your Majesty's decree is made, there will only be more memorials to impeach ministers." Zhao Si looked at the First Emperor with a bitter look on his face.

"I sent him to lead important matters in Longchuan..." The First Emperor glanced at Zhao Si strangely.

He had an impression of Dr. Zhao Su, who was capable and able to do practical things.

Zhao Tuo has been staying in Lingnan, and the First Emperor originally planned to replace a group of people in Lingnan.

Su Qian was promoted openly and secretly, but there was nothing he could do about it. Who made him unlucky? It just happened that the First Emperor thought of his name.

Rather than punishing Su Jian for Zhao Si, it is better to say that Su Jian did not live hard, and the First Emperor gave him a small warning.

"Then I won't be more at a loss..." Zhao Si frowned when he heard this, but he could only study the ink for the First Emperor honestly.

Having said that, with the mandatory implementation of Suan Min, as the main person in charge of Suan Min, there were gradually more memorials mentioning Zhao Si.

Of course, everyone is aware of the First Emperor's closeness to Zhao Si, so most of the memorials mentioned about Zhao Si are testing.

It is nothing more than a subtle expression that some of Zhao Si's behaviors are suspected of being inappropriate. Even more obscure things do not mention Zhao Si at all, but use the past to describe the present.

For example, in the past, a king was too close to a minister and ignored the imperial dignity. As a result, the ministers became arrogant and did not take national affairs seriously. What consequences were caused.

To put it bluntly, there is a strange atmosphere.

Not to mention, there are quite a few memorials of this type.

Zhao Si has read a lot in the past few days, treating them all as short stories to pass his time.

But for now, the First Emperor is definitely a competent boss, and he chooses to turn a blind eye to rumors, or even not read them at all.

There were more memorials against Zhao Si, not to mention the memorials against Xiao He, Cao Shen and Zhou Bo.

Compared with the obscurities and temptations against Zhao Si, Xiao He, Cao Shen and Zhou Bo were nothing more than Zhao Si's wings in the eyes of most people, relying on Zhao Si to exist, so they were even more unscrupulous in their actions.

His heart can be punished at every turn.

He often acts dishonestly as an official.

Otherwise, he is the worm of the country.

In short, the political struggle in ancient times was actually just that.

It was nothing more than using various means to make the First Emperor suspicious of Zhao Si, so the monarch and his ministers became alienated...

As long as the First Emperor had even the slightest distrust and suspicion of Zhao Si, a large number of people would inevitably flock to him and push Zhao Si down from his position as a close minister.

It sounds a bit like courtship between animals.

Kick others down, and then spread your wings to attract the king's attention and gain a close status.

Quite boring.

Zhao Si watched as the First Emperor finished writing the imperial edict and continued to assist the First Emperor in handling official affairs.

It wasn't until night fell that the official documents picked out from the trash talk were finally processed.

What is left is a thick pile of impeachments that could fill a book.

"Take it and burn it..."

The First Emperor waved his hand.

A strange color flashed in Zhao Si's eyes.

"The progress of the calculation will be accelerated. We must complete the calculation before autumn." The First Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly.
