Chapter 221 Natural disaster!

Qin Chi smiled slightly and said: "This matter should be left to the city manager. The city manager needs to inspect the market regularly, check transaction vouchers, and investigate and deal with violations immediately if any violations are found."

"At the same time, market brokers also need to accept the supervision and assessment of superior officials to ensure that they fulfill their duties."

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this.

Qin Chi then elaborated on the revision suggestions for the "Law on Reporting Adultery" and "Official Code".

He said solemnly: "The revision of the "Law on Reporting Traitors" should be aimed at encouraging people to actively report traitors. Those who report truthfully should be heavily rewarded as encouragement."

"And those who make false accusations will be punished by being found guilty. In this way, the evildoers will have no escape, and the people will be able to live and work in peace and contentment."

He paused and continued: "However, reporting often involves risks, and people may have concerns."

"Therefore, I believe that a whistleblower system should be established to allow people to report anonymously. This will not only protect the safety of the whistleblower, but also allow the evildoers to have no escape."

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, thinking that Qin Chi's suggestion was both comprehensive and feasible.

They believe that if such laws are implemented, they will greatly purify the social atmosphere and maintain national tranquility.

Qin Chi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "As for the revision of the Official Code, it needs to be more rigorous and rigorous. Officials are the pillars of the country, and their conduct and actions are directly related to the rise and fall of the country and the well-being of the people."

"Therefore, I propose to strengthen the supervision and punishment of officials, and clearly stipulate officials' crimes of corruption, bribery, dereliction of duty and other crimes and their corresponding penalties. We will never tolerate adultery!"

With firm eyes, he glanced around the people present and continued: "At the same time, in order to ensure that the behavior of officials is effectively supervised, supervisory agencies such as Yushitai should be set up. These agencies should not only be responsible for supervising the behavior of officials, but also accept complaints from the people. appeal to ensure that public opinion can reach heaven without hindrance."

As soon as Qin Chi finished speaking, everyone burst into heated discussions.

They knew that the revision of official laws was of great significance for rectifying official governance and purifying the official atmosphere.

The suggestions put forward by Qin Chi are not only to the point, but also concrete and feasible.

After hearing this, Xiao He was deeply impressed and said: "Your Excellency is really a capable minister in governing the world! If these laws can be implemented, peace can be expected in the world!"

Afterwards, with his keen insight and excellent literary talent, he carefully revised and improved the draft law proposed by Qin Chi, making each provision more rigorous, reasonable and easy to implement.

After some in-depth exchanges, everyone finally drafted various laws and prepared to submit them to the First Emperor for inspection.

……

The next day, the morning glow illuminated the sky, and the palace door slowly opened.

The ministers filed in, and Zulong was already sitting on the emperor's couch, waiting for today's official report.

Qin Chi was the first to come out, holding a memorial, and reported in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, after in-depth discussions with Xiao He and others, I have drafted the "Shi Yi Law", the "Act on the Accusation of Treacherous Law" and the revision of the "Official Code" draft."

"These laws are intended to regulate market transactions, severely punish evildoers, and strengthen the supervision and punishment of officials, so as to maintain the tranquility of the country and the well-being of the people! Your Majesty, please read it."

When Zulong heard this, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes, and he took the memorial and reviewed it carefully.

After a moment, he looked up at Qin Chi and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, dear. I am very satisfied with the draft law after reading it. I will promulgate it and implement it after discussing it with the courtiers."

At this time, Li Si also came out to report: "Your Majesty, I have good news to report regarding the progress of the plank road construction."

"The project is progressing smoothly at present. If we go at full speed, we can reach Jiuyuan County in twenty days."

"At that time, our army and supplies will be quickly deployed to the northern border to deal with possible border troubles." After hearing this, Zulong was overjoyed and stood up, saying, "Good! The Prime Minister also contributed a lot."

"The construction of the plank road is of great significance to strengthening the northern border defense and ensuring border tranquility! If you pass on the order, we must ensure the quality and progress of the project and complete it as soon as possible!"

When the ministers heard this, they all looked happy and stepped forward to express their congratulations.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!" an old minister said in a trembling voice, "The achievements of Mr. Qin and the Prime Minister are really a blessing to the country and a blessing to the people! Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and your leadership is good, which is why we have today's great joy. Ministers, etc. I am willing to serve His Majesty as a dog and horse and build a prosperous age for the Qin Dynasty together!"

Another important minister stepped forward and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the arrival of such good news is really a sign of God's blessing for the Qin Dynasty and the prosperity of the country! Tingwei's draft law and Prime Minister Li's plank road construction are both for the long-term peace and prosperity of our dynasty. This is the cornerstone of His Majesty! I am very happy and encouraged and will do my best to assist Your Majesty and create great achievements for the future together!"

The ministers expressed their congratulations and loyalty to the Qin Dynasty with each word.

The entire court was filled with a festive and peaceful atmosphere.

The next day, as the morning light faded, Qin Chi hurriedly got up and went to the residence of his father-in-law, Lu Gong.

Stepping into the courtyard, you can see the scattered flowers and trees, which is quiet and elegant.

Qin Chi straightened his clothes and stepped into the hall.

Seeing Qin Chi's arrival, Duke Lu hurriedly stood up to greet him and said with a smile, "Why do you have so much free time today? What important business do you have here?"

Qin Chi bowed respectfully and said, "Father-in-law, you are here to build a teaching project."

When Duke Lu heard this, he immediately became interested and said, "Oh? Could it be that this matter has been settled?"

Qin Chi said: "Yes, my son-in-law has chosen a location to build a school for his father-in-law to educate the people and pass on the culture."

After hearing this, Mr. Lu stroked his beard and nodded, excited, and praised: "This is a great kindness for a good son-in-law!"

"Educating the people and passing on culture are the foundation of the country, and I should do my best to do so."

At this time, two girls, Lu Pheasant and Lu Su, also heard the sound and came.

When they learned about Qin Chi's move, a trace of emotion flashed in their eyes.

Lu Pheasant said: "Husband, your move is really popular, and I will give you my full support."

Lu Su also echoed: "Yes, husband, your move not only benefits the people, but also cultivates talents for the country. Su'er admires it very much!"

Qin Chi smiled slightly, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

……

A few days later, an urgent military report broke the tranquility of the court.

The messenger soldier was covered in dust, kneeling on His Highness's face, holding up the urgent document with Baiyue's mark in both hands! !

Prime Minister Li Si, the head of the hundred officials, felt nervous. He took the document for Zu Long and started to read it in person.

The handwriting on it was scrawled, but it could not hide the urgency of the situation: "The Baiyue has been calmed down, and the soldiers returned in triumph. However, a plague suddenly broke out on the way, which was different from usual."

"The patient has high fever, red rashes all over the body, and his condition is critical. Please send a good doctor quickly for treatment!"
