Chapter 766 Qin An’s Suggestion (2)
Everyone was stunned, what did the Emperor Master mean? Was Hong Kong built in vain? But after the city of Guangzhou was built, it became very prosperous, and everyone made a lot of profits.
Now that Hong Kong City is under construction, they have invested a lot of money. If you say that it has been built in vain, then their losses will be extremely heavy.
"Emperor Master," Jiang Lu said, "I spent a lot of energy and money building Hong Kong City. If it cannot bring in profits, I need to stop the losses in time."
"No need." Qin An said, "Hong Kong has a special location, not only Hong Kong, but also the Strait of Malacca. This is the only place where the Atlantic Ocean must pass. In the future, our ships will go to more places from here.
But it’s still too early to say this. What we need to do now is to develop ourselves, first of all, building roads, and then transportation.
The purpose of building roads is to facilitate the passage of horse-drawn carriages, so that everyone can get from one place to another as quickly as possible.
So I'm going to look at two types of transportation, one is what I call the steam train, and the other is the automobile.
Both are common means of transportation in later generations, and I can design and manufacture them. "
"Then I'm sorry to bother you. Just ask for anything you need. Whether it's manpower, material resources or financial resources, as long as you ask, I will give it to you." Ying Zheng said.
Li Si and others felt that Ying Zheng's words were so familiar, as if the person he spoke to last time was Xu Fu.
If Ying Zheng learns what other people think, he will definitely be very angry. Can Xu Fu compare with Qin An?
One is in the sky and one is under the ground, no, it is a bug in the ground.
Qin An said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will study it as soon as possible, but in the meantime, I need to study the railway route and build the railway."
"Okay. You arrange everything. The officials in the DPRK and the Central Government are at your disposal, and Fusu will assist you." Ying Zheng said.
"Thank you, father-in-law." Qin An said.
Regarding Ying Zheng, Qin An didn't like to call him His Majesty the First Emperor, preferring to call him father-in-law, and the same was true for Ying Zheng, so as to bring the relationship between the two closer.
"But, father-in-law." Qin An continued, "There are many things we have to do now, and we need to constantly carry out reforms. We launch the first industrial revolution.
This will have a great impact on all handicraft industries in Da Qin, and may even eliminate them. However, in a few years, Da Qin's business will grow exponentially. "
"Is it a severe shock?"
"It's quite serious." Qin An said, "But this matter can be done step by step. For example, my clothing workshop and textile workshop still use primitive water mill looms, but I will invent the steam loom.
The speed will be a hundred times or even a thousand times that of the original. Moreover, the machine-woven cloth is the same regardless of style and size.
In this case, are those hand-made textile workshops still useful?
There is also a sewing machine. I don’t know if you have seen it, but I have seen it. It can sew very quickly, many times faster than needle and thread sewing.
But please rest assured, father-in-law. I will try to make this impact as small as possible. "
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you and let Li Si and Xiao He help you."
"No." Li Si and Xiao He said at the same time.
"Thank you father-in-law, and thank you father-in-law and Mr. Xiao." Qin An said to the three of them, "The other and most important point is to establish a police system.
The police are official officers, but unlike existing official officers, they can only arrest and interrogate, but cannot sentence guilty people.
I know that Meng Yi mentioned this matter and finally established the Jinyiwei. "
Meng Yi said: "Reporting to the Imperial Master, in fact, the responsibilities of the Jin Yiwei are the same as those of the police, but they have different names.
Nowadays, Jinyiwei's reputation in the hearts of the people is very good, so the official thinks that there is no need to go to so much trouble and change the name. "
"I didn't say we were going to change it," Qin An said, "I didn't say we were going to establish a police force, I was talking about a police system.
Simply put, it is management
System, classification, price, salary, etc., do these Jinyiwei have it? "
"Yes, currently the Jinyi Guards have one commander, two commanders, two commanders, two governors, fourteen people from the 1000 households in the 14th division, deputy 1000 households, 100 households, trial 100 households, general flag , Xiaoqi, and then the ordinary imperial guards, these are what the imperial master told the subordinates." Meng Yi replied.
Qin An held his forehead and said, "Then I also told you that this Jin Yiwei appeared in the Ming Dynasty and was the emperor's personal guard. He did many and complicated things."
Qin An did not speak out about the atrocities committed by the Jin Yiwei, especially the surveillance of the ministers, which gave Meng Yi a lot of face.
Meng Yi looked at Qin An with grateful eyes and said, "The Imperial Master is right, Jin Yiwei does have a lot of things to do, and the Imperial Master needs to rearrange them."
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "I will give you a detailed system of future police officers. They are divided into several types, with different treatment and different responsibilities.
But the purpose is the same, which is to protect the people, prevent, stop and investigate illegal and criminal activities; maintain social security and order, and stop behaviors that endanger social security and order.
The obligations of the police are: obey orders, obey instructions, perform their duties in accordance with the law, and resolutely complete their tasks.
Therefore, your Jin Yiwei must undergo rigorous training. At the same time, the imperial court needs to establish a Jin Yiwei academy to specifically train Jin Yiwei.
However, if you want to be a Jinyiwei, you also need to have a certain amount of knowledge, and preferably someone with some skills.
Someone once said that the best way to deal with a criminal is to find a criminal who is more capable than the criminal.
To put it harshly, even Jin Yiwei has to learn to cheat and deceive. They learn this not to commit crimes, but to have the ability to see through criminals' crimes, so that the people can reduce their losses. "
Meng Yi thought it made sense and immediately said: "Xiaguan understands, Xiaguan and Jin Yiwei still have a lot to learn."
Qin An nodded and said, "Don't worry, you can ask any questions you have. The first thing the Jinyi Guards have to do is to deal with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and the anti-Qin forces, especially the bandits.
During my father-in-law's reign, some policies were too radical, which led to many people turning into bandits or occupying mountains and becoming kings.
It's just that many times, no one pays attention, or the other party is too cunning and has never been found.
From now on, Jinyiwei will start a thorough investigation of these forces. As long as they have not committed any murders, they can let bygones be bygones.
But in everything, you have to ask the nearby people. If they think the bandits don't deserve to die, they will arrest them first and then conduct an investigation.
If there are extenuating circumstances, we should give each other a chance. "
Li Si stood up at this time and said, "Would this be against the law?"
"My father-in-law, there is love outside the law. There is nothing wrong with acting in accordance with the law, but it is nothing more than love outside the law.
However, it is not that the murderer is not punished, but the original death penalty is turned into a suspended sentence, and the suspended sentence is slowly turned into a fixed-term prison sentence, and then the case is dealt with according to his performance in prison. Qin An explained.
