Chapter 426: Six-Ministry System
When everyone heard this, they all fell silent.
Li Si is right. Penniless slaves are suddenly free. Can they survive?
If they can't survive, why let them be free? If you give them freedom, you must give them a chance to survive.
"Your Majesty," Fu Zikang said, "What Li Xiang said makes sense, but now people are recruiting workers everywhere. Even if they are not given land, they can still survive.
Wei Chen believes that it is better to directly say hello to the major workshops and let them work in the workshops. "
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said, "What Fu Aiqing said makes sense, Li Si, what else can you say?"
Li Sizuo bowed and said: "Your Majesty, although Master Fu's words are reasonable, they cannot reflect the benevolent government of the imperial court and the benevolence of Your Majesty.
Slaves still work after entering the workshop. They do not have their own fields or houses. Everything is illusory, which will greatly reduce the enthusiasm of the slaves to work. "
"They have wages. After they have wages, they can buy whatever they want." Fu Zikang reminded.
"The wages will be paid a month later. Even if they are paid early, they still have to find a place to live. Will this small amount of wages be enough for them to live in a house and eat?
Mr. Fu, as the governor of Li Neishi, have you calculated how many slaves there are in Xianyang City now, how much wasteland there is, what is the average monthly salary, what is the price of a house, and how much is the rent for renting a house?
There are also wages, housing prices, commodity prices, etc. across the country. How much do you know?
Also, can you be sure that slaves will be treated the same as everyone else after entering the workshop? "
Fu Zikang was speechless when asked. Although he was the governor of Li Neishi, he only knew about the affairs of Xianyang City, and he still didn't know much about the local area, because the local government had its own local governance methods. Generally speaking, the imperial court would not Too much interference.
Qi Di has its own governance methods, and Han Di has its own governance methods, so Fu Zikang really doesn't understand them very well.
Fu Zikang thought for a moment and said, "Has Li Xiangneng already understood this question?"
Prime Minister Li nodded and said, "I have already sent people to inquire. Since the imperial court has implemented the system of prefectures and counties, its control over local areas should be stronger than the feudal system.
Your Majesty, the imperial court's control over local areas is much the same as it was during the enfeoffment system. Basically, there has not been much change.
Wei Chen proposed to abolish slavery and strengthen local management. Among them, the court was responsible for the appointment, promotion, and assessment of officials.
Therefore, Wei Chen believed that the imperial court could establish a new yamen called the Ministry of Personnel, which would be in charge of the appointment, assessment and promotion of officials all over the world.
Although Zhili Neishi was in charge of the world's money, grain, and taxes, he was unable to control the world's market conditions. Therefore, the minister suggested that Zhili Neishi be changed to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The Ministry of Accounts is in charge of household registration, finance, land tax, customs duties, finance, public bonds, currency and banking affairs.
In this way, Mr. Fu can immediately answer the question I just asked. Mr. Fu, do you think so? "
Fu Zikang was immediately furious: "Prime Minister Li, the history of governing Li Nei was established by the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty. If you want to change it, you can change it. How can you take the previous kings of the Qin Dynasty and your Majesty seriously?"
Li Si said in a deep voice: "Master Fu, please don't forget that His Majesty is the First Emperor, who unified the six kingdoms and changed the feudal system to the county system. This is completely different from the ancestral system. If you deny me, are you also denying His Majesty? "
Ying Zheng's face darkened.
Feng Quji said at this time: "Your Majesty, we should change things that are beneficial to the court. The household system and the official system are beneficial to the government's control of the place. I think it can be implemented.
In addition to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs, the imperial court could also establish the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry.
The Ministry of War is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, the Ministry of Rites is in charge of the etiquette of the literati, the court priests, etc., the Ministry of Work is in charge of the world's technology, and the Ministry of Punishment is in charge of the world's criminal laws.
In this way, the four departments mentioned by the minister plus the household department and the official department mentioned by Li Xiang, there are six departments in total. The nine ministers system can be changed to the six department system, which can strengthen the court's control over the local area.
As long as there is any trouble in the place, the six departments will know immediately. "
Fu Zikang and a group of officials from Jiuqing looked at Feng Quji in confusion.
Prime Minister Feng, you are our leader, and you actually asked everyone to reform. The nine ministers are gone and become six ministries. Doesn't that mean that three of the nine will no longer be officials?
Even if you become an official, will you still have the power and treatment you have today?
Just when everyone was thinking about why Feng Quji proposed the six-part system, Ying Zheng spoke.
"The purpose of the Six-Ministry System and the Nine-Ministry System is for Qin to easily control the world. No one can say which one is strong and which one is weak.
Since my two prime ministers mentioned this matter, I think I can give it a try.
Li Si, Feng Quji, the two of you will write out the contents of the six-part system in detail, as well as the local areas. Since there is a six-part system, does the local area also have six parts? "
"Your Majesty is wise." Li Si said, "There are also six local departments. Wei Chenhui and Feng Xiang wrote it down in detail."
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Yes. My dear friends, the purpose of my implementation of the system of prefectures and counties is to unify the world and place the regions under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, instead of just having names and no actual control.
What I want is actual control, so that court officials can quickly know the local situation. As for whether it is the six-ministry system, the nine-ministerial system, or any other system, I think it is fine.
You understand. "
At this time, Ying Zheng exuded the aura of the ancestral dragon. The ministers trembled, all knelt down, and spoke at the same time.
"I understand."
"Li Si, Feng Quji."
"I'm here." Li Si and Feng Quji responded at the same time.
"I give you three days to write down the details of the six-part system."
"No." Li Si and Feng Quji responded again.
"Fu Zikang." Ying Zheng looked at Zhili Neishi Fu Zikang.
"I'm here," Fu Zikang responded.
Ying Zheng said: "I also give you and the other Jiu Qing three days to write out the Jiu Qing system.
I want to post the Six-Ministry System and the Nine-Ministry System so that the people can comment on whether they are good or bad.
At the same time, a political discussion hall was built in Xianyang City. Anyone can go to the political discussion hall to talk loudly and evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the two systems. If they have good ideas, they can also put forward them.
You can send someone to listen to their debate. In the end I will decide whether. "
"Your Majesty is wise." Li Si and Feng Quji said.
Others reacted and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
"Retreat from the court."
Ying Zheng gave the order and immediately exuded the ancestral dragon aura and walked out of the hall.
After Ying Zheng left, all the officials heaved a sigh of relief. It had been a long time since they had seen such a domineering Ying Zheng, and they had almost forgotten how domineering Ying Zheng was when he unified the six countries.
When Li Si and Feng Quji saw Ying Zheng leaving, they took the lead to leave. However, they didn't go long before they were stopped by Fu Zikang and others.
