Chapter 117 Circulation

In the spring of this year, Xianyang was filled with the joy of great victory.

Although it encountered a rare heavy snow in winter, the counties responded in time, with few casualties and injured people. The collapsed house was built with help from neighbors.

Therefore, when the news of the victory came, there was joy inside and outside Xianyang City, with not many different voices.

As soon as the palace banquet was opened, Ying Zheng would remind him that he would sing poems with beautiful words and praise the virtues. Some of them had good voices and sang them directly, singing and sang, praising Ying Zheng's wise and magical martial arts.

Fusu was quite used to such large-scale horse racing scenes. When everyone got up to dance together, he was also caught among the dancing officials, looking very lively.

This time, the big boss Ying Zheng did not do anything forcing the forced purchase and sale. Instead, he gave everyone a very conscientious reward and received a large-scale reward on merit.

Of course, Ying Zheng also made some encouraging words, saying that those who traveled a hundred miles were half ninety, and the world has not yet been unified. King Yan and King Chu are all fleeing, and Qi is still squatting there safely waiting for Qin to conquer. Therefore, we cannot take it lightly!

After all, Ying Zheng had a good time drinking, and finally Fusu brought him back to sober up.

After all the officials dispersed, Ying Zheng heard Fusu’s people under his command to prepare tea and water, sat up a little, opened his eyes and turned around to look at Fusu.

Seeing Fusu approaching, Ying Zheng lay down halfway, closed his eyes and asked casually: "Is it much faster for us to fight in this world than in your dream?"

"Yes." Fusu honestly replied, and took the sobering tea handed over from his left and right to present it to Ying Zheng, asking Ying Zheng to relieve the wine so that he would not have a headache when he woke up the next day.

Ying Zheng sat up and took the sobering tea delivered by Fusu in one sip. The astringent and bitter taste slowly suppressed the strong sense of alcohol.

Most people will frown when drinking this thing. However, Ying Zheng did not reveal any of it. He only handed the cup to the person who was serving him. He leaned back on the soft pillow and said, "Okay, I'll take a rest for one night, you can go back."

Fusu took the opportunity to discuss with Ying Zheng: "Father, I have something to ask you for advice from the ministers."

Ying Zheng glanced at him and said, "If you have anything to do, I will go to them, but I didn't stop you from looking for it." He didn't ask what Fusu was busy with, and waved his hand to let him retreat.

Fusu left the palace and returned to his house to discuss with Zhang Liang for a winter draft of the official selection system.

They were still young. Even though they had good vision and thinking, they still felt that something was missing after discussing, so Fusu was going to chat with people from various yamen who did practical things face to face, and ask them one by one about their opinions and experiences.

You should know that some things that have not been handled by yourself cannot think of, and it is better to brainstorm this plan.

Fusu had reported to Ying Zheng, and from the next day he harassed civil and military officials one by one, discussing the scope and work procedures of each yamen with them.

Fusu is twelve or thirteen years old this year. He has grown a lot taller and looks like a gentle boy. Everyone has dealt with him a lot, and gradually he is no longer treated as a child in his heart.

When Fusu asked about the matters he was in charge, most of them patiently explained it to Fusu, which really gave Fusu a lot of inspiration.

Fusu started to ask people for advice every day with a small notebook.

This matter soon reached Ying Zheng's ears. Ying Zheng did not express any opinions on this, nor did he ask anyone to stop him. It was obvious that he had acquiesced to Fusu doing this.

Fusu usually doesn't make friends with foreign ministers. Apart from often visiting students from Imperial College and inviting them to chat and see Zhuxiong, he basically has no personal relationships with the court officials. Those who really have more contacts are Meng Tian and Li Si.

Even among these companies, he only exchanged festivals and festivals during the holidays and would not discuss too many issues with the government.

This time, Fusu was abnormal and asked about serious political affairs. He also visited all the civil and military officials in the court, which was really surprising.

Many people are thinking about what Fusu wants to do, or what Ying Zheng wants to do.

You should know that many times the father and son are in the same group. Whose opinions are not important, and who their specific ideas are not important. What matters is that as long as one of them wants to do something, they are still the hard-working ministers who have to work hard!

After thinking about it, no one figured out the reason. When people familiar with each other communicated with each other, they found that what Fusu asked about was only the daily work of the corresponding yamen, and nothing special.

The more this happens, the less reliable it feels. If I didn’t want to do something big, would it be necessary to ask one by one? I heard that Fusu has even looked for Zhao Gao, who is in charge of the imperial carriage and horse, and obviously he wants to search all over the court.

Zhao Gao was also wondering. Fusu had indeed come to him recently and asked him what Che Mansion Ling usually does, what difficulties are there in the work process, what other matters require special skills, etc.

There is nothing to say about these things, Zhao Gao answered them one by one, and quietly pondered in his heart about Fusu’s intention to ask these questions.

Zhao Gao is usually responsible for Ying Zheng's carriage and horses. Ying Zheng always follows him when he travels. Occasionally, he will be responsible for writing any edicts outside.

This position is not considered a high-ranking official, but it is undoubtedly a position that is very trusted by Ying Zheng.

Zhao Gao could see Ying Zheng's preference for the eldest son of Fusu, but Fusu seemed gentle, but it was difficult to really get close to him. He was very good to everyone, but if he trusted and whoever he was close to him, he always only trusted those around him, and maintained a quiet friendship with others.

Moreover, Fusu was in charge of the Shaofu Office for many years. He could directly misappropriate the money and people, and he also took advantage of the rare treasures in the treasury.

Not to mention that he doesn't need others to give money and goods to please him, even if he is really happy to accept it, others can't come up with treasures that interest him.

Ying Zheng is in his prime, not to mention how long it will take for ten or twenty years. There may be too many variables here, and Zhao Gao has no reason to choose to serve Fusu. Therefore, Zhao Gao always just responded to Fusu politely and acted neither humble nor arrogant.

Fusu visited a row of ministers and accumulated a large pile of information. After seeing Zhao Gao, he was recalling the events of his previous life. He analyzed the functions of the yamen in the court today and found that there were not many people who had the opportunity to write such an edict in his previous life, and Zhao Gao was one of them.

His father admired Zhao Gao's good handwriting very much, and occasionally asked Zhao Gao to draft an edict.

From this point of view, the edict is likely to be written by Zhao Gao.

Li Si, who was appointed as prime minister at that time, was also present, but the father-in-law and son-in-law had a very unhappy relationship at the time, and there was almost no possibility of mutual political views, so Li Si would not dissuade him even if he knew the existence of the edict.

However, it's different now.

Things in previous lives should not happen again.

Fusu suppressed his churn thoughts and started to modify the official selection plan with Zhang Liang.

This plan includes the official system they think is feasible and the assessment method for corresponding official positions. Different official positions require different talents, so specialized examinations should be conducted for positions with higher professional skills.

Anyway, the first round of selection requires an exam, and the second round of selection requires an exam. After arriving at the post, the year-end assessment will naturally be conducted according to the original pre-schedule system of the court every year.

In fact, there has not been much change, but a threshold has been set and an additional way to select officials.

Fusu discussed with Zhang Liang for several rounds and combined the existing methods of selecting officials and the assessment plan. After he felt that the plan was basically perfect, he went to look for Ying Zheng with a thick stack of manuscripts.

Seeing Fusu take out a stack of manuscripts, Ying Zheng asked curiously: "Is this what you are tinkering with recently?"

"Yes." Fusu nodded and responded. He explained his idea to Ying Zheng. His official selection system was structured on the county system, which could make the entire court a more efficient management tool.

Ying Zheng picked up the manuscript and looked at it. Instead of turning it down, he looked at Fusu and said, "It's that 'dream' that tells you that the Qin Dynasty will implement the county system in the future, rather than enfeoffing princes?"

Since the Zhou Dynasty lost control of the princes, all countries have actually been exploring new systems suitable for managing the country. It is not only Qin that has tried the county system, but the county system of each country has its own characteristics, and more or less combined the feudal system.

The only one that has not tried the county system is Qi State, but Qi State also has its own characteristics, that is, the Five Capitals system. Simply put, it means that there are four other capitals outside the capital, and each of the Five Capitals has a leadership team, and they all have a certain voice in state affairs. Therefore, sometimes the words of the King of Qi are not very effective, and government affairs are carried out in consultation and quantity.

The current King of Qi has been enjoying himself since he was a child. He never thought about taking care of many things before, but now he doesn't want to take care of them, so he just continues to eat, drink and have fun.

Qi State is backed by a large sea, and its commerce and trade are very developed. Even if the King of Qi does not manage the government much, the whole country of Qi State is still in order, and the people live a prosperous and abundant life.

Ying Zheng has learned about these situations in various countries, but after looking at them after a while, Ying Zheng still felt that the county system of Qin was the most thorough.

As of now, the county magistrates and county officials of each county are appointed and removed by the court. He has absolute control and does not have to worry about the aristocratic bases that were sealed and rebelled, and seek opportunities to break up the world he had worked hard to conquer.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng didn't like being led by such an illusory dream.

Since he could take down Chu State faster than the "self" in his dream, his choice would only be better than the "self", rather than retrace the path chosen by the "self".

Similarly, he didn't like Fusu to be influenced by that dream all the time.

Fusu saw Ying Zheng's obvious displeasure from Ying Zheng. After thinking about it, he talked to Ying Zheng about his opposition to the county system in his previous life and hoped to restore the feudal system.

At that time, he truly felt that his teacher Chunyu Yue and Prime Minister Wang Wan and others were justified, and that the feudal system was more conducive to consolidating the rule of the Qin Dynasty, and that it was not reliable to completely appoint and remove officials from the court to govern the area.

But in fact, the successful experience of managing such a large country has not even had it in the Zhou Dynasty.

On the contrary, the Zhou Dynasty used hundreds of years of riots in the vassal system to prove the disadvantages of the feudal system.

In fact, since Shang Yang's reforms, Qin State has been unable to return to the era of feudal division.

The system of military merits and titles established by Shang Yang's reforms broke the boundary between nobles and civilians, gave civilians a leap to advance to nobles, and allowed various classes in Qin to meet up.

This passage that countless soldiers tore out with their blood and lives cannot be blocked. If it is blocked, chaos will occur and even shake the foundation of Qin.

But after unifying the world, there are fewer opportunities to make military achievements, and this passage is equivalent to being closed.

This will lead to the aristocratic class slowly being fixed after that. There is not enough fresh blood in the court. Civil and military officials will not seriously consider how to govern the country, but will only consider how to gain benefits in their own pockets. The people will not be motivated to do anything. If they are bullied and cannot live a life, they may even cause chaos in various names.

If you want an economic prosperity, the method is very simple. Try to make money and logistics circulation as much as possible!

If you want the court to be stable, the method is very simple, try to allow power to circulate as much as possible!

The official selection system added by Fusu is to open up another power channel for ordinary people.

When there is war, ordinary people can move upward by making military achievements; when there is no war, ordinary people can move upward by selecting officials through the scientific examination.

Even if not everyone has that opportunity, this can at least ensure that talents will not be buried and the class will not be solidified, so that those who are ambitious in the world will have the momentum to rush up, and those who are ready to start to enjoy power and wealth will be sober and always remember that they may still be kicked down by others!

In this way, no one will slacken and everyone will compete to show off, and the government and the country will naturally flourish.

Even if someone wants to make trouble, there will not be many people willing to make trouble with them.

In fact, if you can avoid fighting and bleeding, ordinary people will definitely be the happiest thing. As long as your life is ready and there is a little hope, they will not have to issue strict laws and will work hard and live their lives well.

Fusu told Ying Zheng about his thoughts.

Ying Zheng finished listening patiently and asked, "This is what you see from your dream?"

Fusu nodded and shook his head again. He said, "This is what I discussed with Zifang."

Some things only understand the surface but cannot analyze them thoroughly. After discussing them with Zhang Liang, many things become extremely clear.

Fusu and Ying Zheng praised Zhang Liang again, saying that with Zhang Liang, everything he did was like a tiger with wings, and it was extremely relaxed.

Ying Zheng felt his brain hurt and said helplessly: "Okay, I will watch it." After that, he sent Fusu away and don't yell at the boy named Zhang in front of him.

The author has something to say:

Ying Zheng: A bastard, I'm so excited when I didn't see him bragging

Fu Xiaosu:?
