Chapter 198: Three Consecutive Strategies
Everyone was shocked again. This was decentralization of power, decentralization of power to the First Emperor.
Everyone looked at Ying Zheng, not daring to make a sound. This is a good thing. Once Ying Zheng agrees, everyone will have the opportunity to enter the cabinet.
If Ying Zheng disagrees, then only Li Si will be scolded and punished, and it has nothing to do with them.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said: "Li Si, since you can propose the idea of a cabinet, you should have a detailed plan for the cabinet."
"Replying to your Majesty, I have some humble ministers," Li Si said.
"Okay, I want to know your plan. Tell me in detail." Ying Zheng said excitedly.
Feng Quji was so excited to see Ying Zheng, and he couldn't tell that he had known about the cabinet affairs for a long time.
Could it be that Li Si came up with this cabinet system?
Li Si on the side slowly said: "Your Majesty, the main purpose of the cabinet is to help your Majesty handle daily government affairs. There are so many daily memorials to the court, and your Majesty does everything personally, even with a strong body, it will be too much.
Therefore, Wei Chen suggested setting up a cabinet with two prime ministers and nine ministers, a total of eleven people, who would help His Majesty in reviewing and approving memorials every day.
For important matters such as military affairs and taxation, the cabinet will select the memorials and hand them over to His Majesty. Other minor matters that the Cabinet can handle will be helped by Your Majesty.
Every day, the cabinet will integrate the events it handles and write it into a booklet and hand it to His Majesty. After reading the booklet, His Majesty will know what happened today. "
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "I understand, the cabinet is my assistant, helping to check and handle memorials.
In this way, I will become quite relaxed. This is a wonderful thing. I am sure about the cabinet matters. History, Feng Quji, and my nine ministers, you all can join the cabinet together. "
"No." Li Si, Feng Quji and the officials from Jiuqing responded at the same time.
"Li Si, since you raised the issue of the cabinet, I will hand over the cabinet to you."
"Your Majesty, rest assured that Wei Chen will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations." Li Si said, "So, under the cabinet, Wei Chen hopes that Your Majesty will once again establish a supervision department for the province.
All decrees issued by His Majesty and the Cabinet need to be reviewed by the subordinates. The provincial ministers have the right to reject the imperial decree or slightly polish it. "
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said: "The Ministry of Menxia is used to monitor the cabinet. Yes, this can be done.
My dear friends, what do you think? "
Feng Quji said: "Your Majesty, I and others are willing to share the burden for Your Majesty, but this is the first time for the cabinet and the province, Wei Chen and others have heard about it. I am afraid that the specific matters cannot be done to satisfy Your Majesty."
Old fox.
Ying Zheng cursed in his heart, and then said: "It doesn't matter, Li Si will be responsible for everything. If he can propose it, it means that he has a detailed plan.
You go and discuss it yourself, I will give you the power, Fusu, Wei Liaozi, the three of you enter Menxia Province. "
"No." Fusu and Wei Liaozi responded at the same time.
Xiao He was stunned, I went in and saved it? I just entered the door and saved it? It's really unbelievable.
"Xiao He can't thank you enough." Fusu saw Xiao He in a daze and immediately stepped forward to remind him.
Xiao He came to his senses and immediately bowed to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will go through fire and water for the Qin Dynasty without hesitation?"
"Okay. I'm just waiting to see how you perform."
"promise."
"Your Majesty," Li Si said again, "Wei Chen has another way to obtain a large number of talents for the imperial court."
"Great." Ying Zheng said, "Speak quickly, tell me quickly, what is the solution?"
"The Imperial Examination System."
"What is the imperial examination system?" Ying Zheng asked.
Everyone else looked at Li Si in confusion. Did Prime Minister Zuo meet an expert recently? Three things happened in a row.
The first two things are easy to understand, but what the hell is this final imperial examination system? How come this is unheard of.
"Your Majesty, the imperial examination system is a system in which the imperial court promotes officials through assessment.
Wei Chen felt that students from all over the world could be tested on questions from Confucianism, Mohism, farmers, medical experts, Legalists and military experts. As long as they passed, they could become officials of the imperial court. "
"Your Majesty," Feng Quji said, "This imperial examination system sounds good, but it is very difficult to implement."
"It's not difficult," Li Si said. "In the past, it would have been a bit difficult to take the exam with bamboo slips. However, now that we have the Four Treasures of the Study, the exam will be very simple."
Immediately afterwards, Li Si took out a memorial from his arms and said: "Your Majesty. This is the detailed regulations on the cabinet, provinces and imperial examination system written by Weichen last night.
Please take a look at it, Your Majesty. "
"Send it up."
As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, a chamberlain brought Li Si's memorial to Ying Zheng.
After Ying Zheng received the memorial, he pretended to read it.
"Wonderful, very wonderful." Ying Zheng praised loudly, and then said: "The provinces, the imperial examination system, and the cabinet are all great things that benefit the country and the people.
I'm sure, Li Si, you will draw up a contract and tell the world that the imperial examination will be held once a year, and this year's imperial examination will also be held. The specific matters will be discussed by the cabinet, and I will make the final decision myself. "
"No." Li Si responded, "Your Majesty, since we are going to hold the imperial examination, we must discuss it with the farmers, Mohists, military strategists, Legalists, Confucians and doctors, and let the six of them come up with the questions. After the questions are completed, these The six people will be locked up until the end of the imperial examination.
The purpose of this is to prevent the six people from leaking the test questions. "
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "This is possible. Bring me representatives from the six families. I want to meet them in person and tell them about the importance of the imperial examination."
"promise."
"Everyone, is there anything else?" Ying Zheng spoke again.
Feng Quji stood up and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the grain harvest for this autumn's harvest is 10% more than in previous years. m.
In addition, His Majesty's new farm tools speed up harvesting, and the people are grateful to His Majesty.
Now that the autumn harvest has been completed, all the uncultivated wasteland in Da Qin can be reclaimed. "
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "Your cabinet has discussed this matter and then report it to me.
The migration of millions of people from the Central Plains to the land of Baiyue to plant rice is a top priority. Your cabinet will prepare a detailed plan for me. "
"No." Feng Quji and others responded at the same time.
Nowadays, the candidates for the cabinet are temporarily held by Jiu Qing and the two prime ministers on the left and right.
Ying Zheng suddenly stood up and said to the court officials: "I have one more thing to announce today."
The scene suddenly became quiet. They saw Ying Zheng's serious expression and knew that Ying Zheng was about to announce something big.
When Ying Zheng saw that the scene was quiet, he said in a deep voice: "I will confer Qin An as the Emperor's Master of the Qin Dynasty today, with an official rank of first rank and a salary of ten thousand shi."
Some people died, but not completely...
