Prime Minister of Great Qin

Ji Heng smiled heartily.

He touched the account and said, "Prime Minister Feng is really quick to talk. Since Prime Minister Feng is so impatient, I will not hide it."

Ji Heng glanced at the several swordsmen and pen officials on the side, stood up on his own initiative, went to the open door of the main hall, and said a few words to the attendants guarding outside. Then, several attendants joined forces to close the main hall door.

There was only a banging sound, and the door of the hall was completely closed. It was getting late, and without the brilliance of the dusk, the whole hall was much darker.

See this.

Meng Tian and others were stunned.

But he didn't pay too much attention to it. What could Ji Heng do on his own? However, judging from Ji Heng's cautious attitude, I am afraid that what he wants to say will not be so ordinary.

Maybe even shocking.

Ji Heng returned to his seat and did not add any more candles. There were only a few fires burning around the entire hall.

Ji Heng said: "It is a matter of world secrets, so I will pay more attention to it. This meeting can be called a closed-door meeting."

"But what you said does make sense. It will take a long time and a lot of human and financial resources to promote and implement this system."

"Your division is a bit too unrealistic. The demand for money and food in the world is also very high. As far as I am concerned, it is not advisable."

"In addition to the two divisions of military power mentioned just now, dual leadership must be implemented in the world, that is, the system implemented for merchants back then. In addition to local officials such as county governors and magistrates, the political affairs in charge of other officials will also be subject to corresponding It is managed by the Central Government Office.”

Ji Heng nodded.

"Folks is the foundation of everything."

However, they also sensed some implications from this sentence. Ji Heng might want to make some exchange of interests with them, and then speed up the restructuring.

Meng Tian said: "I don't have any opinions. Everything must be based on the overall situation and the world in mind."

"But only the Prime Minister."

"..."

"In the past few decades, Da Qin will gradually change in many aspects, but the first one must be the system."

Almost weakening the rights of all ministers.

This is becoming too much.

In the past, the prime minister controlled the world's political affairs, but now he only controls the "political" aspect, and only plays a coordinating and supervisory role in "things".

He naturally knew that these officials would not agree, and he did not expect that they would be agreed. He was just using this to express his attitude.

Tao She's eyes were uncertain, and he said in a deep voice: "Your idea is indeed very bold, and can even be called crazy. Da Qin's existing system is actually very complete."

"As for the establishment of a state system you mentioned before, it actually has some merits. It's just that under the state system, the government is subdivided into administration and directors, and then unified under the jurisdiction of the court."

Ji Heng said: "I know that these ideas seem unbelievable to you and are simply unacceptable."

"Some are in charge of government, and some are in charge of affairs. Those in charge of government are under the control of the Prime Minister's Office, and those in charge are responsible for the chief officials of various ministries and agencies, and are under the unified control of the Government Affairs Council. However, the Prime Minister also presides over the Government Affairs Council, which has the role of coordinating and planning the world's political affairs."

"I have heard a saying a long time ago that politics is an art of compromise. I firmly believe in this statement. I wonder what you ministers think of this statement?"

Ji Heng nodded and said with a smile: "It should be so."

"But in my opinion, rights are like being caged."

"It is indeed not something Da Qin can afford now, but that doesn't mean it won't be able to afford it in the future, so this is just my view of the system."

Meng Tian and others had strange expressions on their faces. They didn't expect Ji Heng to be so straightforward, nor did they expect Ji Heng to speak so straightforwardly.

"And the emergence of Minjue will definitely lead to changes in the law. However, unlike previous reforms, the laws of this restructuring will be slowly replaced and changed."

Ji Heng looked calm. This was just the beginning. Da Qin's existing political system actually didn't have much of a problem, it was just that it was too powerful.

As for the power of the Taiwei, it was even more weakened.

"I can speak freely."

It seems that there is not much difference, but in fact the power has been reduced a lot. The Yushifu also directly stripped off the power of supervising the military, and at the same time deprived part of it to local officials.

"Therefore, the functions and powers of the court will also be divided into two parts."

Listening to Ji Heng's words, even Meng Tian couldn't help but his face darkened. Ji Heng was constantly decomposing the authority of the three princes and at the same time reducing the status of Jiu Qing.

"In addition, the functions and powers of the Yushifu remain unchanged and are still responsible for supervising officials all over the world. However, the local government offices also have the same functions. The two are under different jurisdictions and are not affected by the other."

Hear the words.

Ma Xing also said: "With such a subdivision of powers, political efficiency will undoubtedly be greatly reduced, and there will be a lot of demand for officials, which Da Qin cannot meet now."

The 'Three Dukes' became five or six people.

"This method is not advisable!"

Other officials also spoke one after another and directly rejected Ji Heng's proposal. Such a division of power was too strong and overbearing, and they could not accept it.

As for the weakening of Jiuqing's power, it became even more obvious. It became a subordinate official office of the above several official offices, and its power was also divided into several.

Under Ji Heng's description, the power structure of Da Qin has completely changed, becoming the Government Affairs Office, the Prime Minister's Office, the Yushi's Office, the Taiwei's Office, the Military Affairs Office and several other newly formed government offices.

"The same is true for the military. The supervisory function not only exists within the army, but is also supervised by the Yushifu or other government agencies. Without an order, Gai will not obey the order."

"in addition."

"The shorter one is more than ten years, the longer one is decades."

"Let me talk about another thing that is closely related to you. Since the officials of Da Qin enjoy retirement benefits, they naturally have to give up something."

"And gave up..."

"It's the right not to pay taxes!"

"After more than ten years or decades, the officials of Da Qin will have to pay taxes just like the local people, and being a civil servant only means that they don't have to serve."

"As for the reason, you may or may not know it. It is because of land annexation. You have a lot of rights in your hands."

"With your status, you naturally do not need to pay taxes and grain, but this also means that this actually opens the door to you and even the officials in the world. People in some places will take the initiative to 'offer their fields' to avoid corvee taxes. .”

"It will continue like this."

"Most of the land is owned by officials and local powerful people, and the money and grain collected by the court are getting less and less. Da Qin's system is already very expensive, and it has to bear a lot of expenses after the restructuring."

"In the end, it will only continue to be borne by the local heads of Guizhou. Therefore, Daqin will not allow officials to not pay taxes or pay taxes in the future, but before that, the court will not treat you badly because of this."

"The remuneration of officials will be increased accordingly to make up for the lack of money and food due to tax payment. This is just a statement, a statement to the people of the world. Da Qin, from the princes and ministers to the common people, must pay taxes."

"No one was spared."

"Even the emperor is no exception."

Hearing Ji Heng's words, the expressions of the officials present changed even more. The previous division of power between them had already made them a little hesitant and could not accept it. Now Ji Heng is taking advantage of them. This is really too much.

It's too heartbreaking.

Everyone present had dark faces.

Even if Ji Heng said that his salary would be increased in the future, this was still not acceptable to them. Once this hole was opened, the lost benefits would not be made up by the court's salary.

Ji Heng could see clearly from the looks of the ministers that it would be difficult to implement these policies because they had already touched upon the core interests of officials, one in power and one in wealth. But Ji Heng didn't care much.

He just told everything about it. As for whether it succeeds or fails in the end, this is a process of mutual compromise.

Ji Heng continued: "In addition to these two aspects, Da Qin will also make a series of adjustments to the law. You should already know about this, so I won't say more."

"Everything is based on the people."

"Besides."

"Great Qin will also relax household registration restrictions to a certain extent, allowing people to engage in business, craftsmanship and other industries. In addition, it will also allow farmers, Mohists and other schools of thought to build corresponding vocational and technical schools in various places to cultivate and develop the skills of various industries in Great Qin. "

"This is also against the laws of the Qin Dynasty, but it is also inevitable. As far as the medical clinic in the city is concerned, everyone may know it."

"Actually, many people are educated at home, but after so many years, many doctors just follow the textbooks and follow the diagrams, without much substantial improvement."

"Therefore, certain restrictions are relaxed and more people are allowed to enter to speed up the development of various industries and improve Da Qin's experience accumulation in all aspects."

"This will not only improve Da Qin's skills and level in all aspects, but will also have a strong promotion effect on the entire world."

"of course."

“There are pros and cons.”

"People in the world are seeking profit and avoiding harm. When they see a certain industry is profitable, it will inevitably lead to a large influx of people, which will then lead to good land being abandoned and no one cultivating it."

“So there needs to be a certain threshold.”

"That is to say, only people who have obtained a public official or even a superior are qualified to make a choice, and they also need to go through professional screening before they can enter."

"This is also based on some of the divisions in that newspaper."

"It will all be started later."

"Correspondingly, Da Qin will prepare for the re-division of state governance in the next ten years or even decades."

"Encourage births among the people."

"The number of households will ultimately determine where the state will be in a few decades, as well as the major counties in several major aspects of the state system. These large counties with large populations will also receive additional support from the court."

"The other thing is to reform the land system. Now the land system in Da Qin is relatively chaotic, with public ownership and private ownership mixed."

"Guandong and Guanzhong are also different."

"In order to achieve world governance, to curb land annexation, and to encourage private people to reclaim wasteland, I personally suggest that the nature of farmland be divided into two."

"The fields within the city are owned by the state, while the fields in local townships and li are owned by all the households in the local township and li."

"The court cannot be occupied or occupied."

"In addition, the imperial court should send Mohist disciples to re-measure the fields and re-divide the local townships. In this way, under the governance of the townships, they will do their best to reclaim wasteland."

"Because this is local land."

"And the local government can only allocate these fields that belong to the township. As the population increases, land reclamation has become essential."

"It is up to the young master to decide how long the court will provide rent-free and tax-free land for local reclaimed land."

"Local fields can only be transferred, not bought and sold, let alone sold to outsiders. Even if the meat is rotten, it can only be rotten locally."

"The court will not recognize any sales deed regarding local land, and it is also illegal."

"In addition to fields, there is also the need to encourage local production and vigorously promote new technologies and techniques to speed up local production and recovery."

"Da Qin should reward the skills and related people who have limited improvement in production."

"There are still roads."

"Except for special periods, road restrictions will be relaxed to a certain extent, allowing local officials and merchants to travel, but the court can use this to charge a certain toll."

"In addition, if the economy permits, the court should provide sufficient financial support for the construction of local roads, water conservancy and other facilities to speed up the flow of commodity information across the country."

"This will speed up the integration and unification of the world."

"There is also the Qin Dynasty that unified the world. In order to rectify the world, we should recruit scholars from all over the world to compile the history of Zhou Dynasty. In addition to revising political history, we should also focus on revising legal history, economic history, cultural science and technology, etc."

"Use history as a mirror and history as a mirror."

"..."

Ji Heng said a lot in one breath, but many of the ideas he said were completely unexpected, and many people found it refreshing.

But at the same time.

I also felt deep pressure.

There are so many things to do, so much that even just one thing gives them a headache. Perhaps the only thing that can be easily accepted by the world is to encourage childbirth to determine the state territory.

others.

Each one is difficult.

Some difficulties come from the court itself, some come from local resistance, and some come from the selfish motives of officials and scholars.

Just one piece makes people feel dizzy, and what Ji Heng wants to do is completed in one piece. This huge transformation is already reshaping the world.

It completely surpasses any reform in the past. Its depth, breadth, and scope of influence are unmatched by any reform in the past.

The whole place was silent.

The swordsman and penman on the side also stopped writing in shock. His eyes were full of disbelief and shock. The hand holding the pen was trembling and he forgot what he should do.

So do other officials.

Full of shock.

Before Ji Heng targeted them, they thought it was intentional, but after hearing all of Ji Heng's thoughts, they suddenly understood that this was not intentional at all.

It's just a part of Ji Heng's restructuring.

What he wants is to rebuild the world, and to completely change the system, country, governance, people and many other aspects.

The ambition is so great that it has never been seen before.

Zhang Cang's pupils shrank, his face twitched slightly when he looked at Ji Heng, and he even cursed a madman in his heart.

crazy.

A complete lunatic.

These ideas are too crazy, there is no compromise at all, they just want to selfishly build a new world, and they don't care about other people's lives or thoughts.

a long time.

Meng Tian stood up suddenly, stared straight at Ji Heng, and said with a livid face: "Do you know how shocking your ideas are? How unreasonable? Do you really think they are feasible?!"

Ji Heng said with a half-smile, "That's why I say politics is an art of compromise."

"And I also think..."

"Everything depends on human effort!" (End of Chapter)
