"As for money and food, we can slowly think of a solution!"
Ying Shu took a sip of hot tea and said meaningfully: "In fact, building a school palace does not cost much money and food!"
"A kind of red brick is being fired over there in Mindi, which can replace the bluestone, and a kind of lime is being fired and mixed with river sand to increase the firmness!"
"When the time comes, send troops to plunder slaves, and then build the academy with red bricks and other materials. The speed will be much faster and the cost will be much lower!"
"Um!"
Nodding, the First Emperor turned to Yingshu and said: "The local official system has been formulated, the county system has been promulgated, and counties have been divided!"
"Zhao Gao, send an edict to Prime Minister Li and Prime Minister Wang!"
"promise!"
Watching Zhao Gao leave, the First Emperor chuckled and said, "Wang Wan and Li Si have some ideas about this matter!"
"Especially Li Si!"
"Teacher and the Prime Minister are both top-notch talents in this world. It is a blessing for the empire to have them. Of course, it is also a blessing for them to meet my father!"
Ying Shu had a smile on his face and said in a relaxed tone: "The hardest time is over, and the empire will get better and better!"
"As long as the imperial court can adhere to its national policy, it will surely unite the Central Plains!"
...
Leaving Zhangtai Palace, a smile appeared on Zhao Gao's lips.
From Gongzi Shu's change of words and the changes in the past few days, he knew that his previous guess was not wrong at all.
Moreover, working together at the Shangshu Office furthered his relationship with Zhao Shu.
Not so much as confidants, but there is a connection.
This made Zhao Gao somewhat excited.
After a while, Li Si and Wang Wan came hand in hand: "Your Majesty, Li Si, Wang Wan pays homage to Your Majesty, His Majesty the Emperor will last forever—!"
"Two dear friends, no courtesy, please be free!" The First Emperor stretched out his hand to signal, with a smile on his face: "Zhao Gao, serve tea!"
"promise!"
At this time, Li Si and Wang Wan just turned towards Ying Shu and said, "I have seen you, Your Majesty!"
"Shu has met the teacher and met the king!" At the same time, Ying Shu saluted quickly.
After greeting each other, they all sat down.
The First Emperor looked at the two men and said: "The empire has issued an edict to implement the prefectures and counties. Does the government have any intention to divide the prefectures and counties?"
At this moment, Wang Wan and Li Si looked at each other, and then Wang Wan said: "Your Majesty, I have discussed with Prime Minister Li these past two days, and we have roughly a direction!"
At this time, Li Si took out a miniaturized map, spread it on the desk, and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look!"
Hearing this, the First Emperor and Ying Shu surrounded him.
"With Xianyang as the core, turn it into internal history!"
"Also known as Neishi County!"
"Besides that, they are Longxi County, Beidi County, Hanzhong County, Ba County, Shu County, Shang County, Yunzhong County, Jiuyuan County, Hedong County, Sanchuan County, and Nanyang County."
"Yingchuan County, Nan County, Taiyuan County, Shangdang County, Julu County, Handan County."
"Yanmen County, Dai County, Shanggu County, Yuyang County, Liaoxi County, Liaodong County, Youbeiping County, Dang County, Sishui County, Xue County, Langye County, Qi County, Jiujiang County, Kuaiji County, and Changsha County. "
"The land of Zhuyue is divided into Nanhai County, Guilin County, Xiang County and Minyue County."
"The chaotic land is divided into four counties: Northern Xia County, Dongtang County, Xishang County, and Nan Qin County!"
"Nanzhou is divided into ten counties: Upper Qin, Lower Qin, Zuo Qin, Right Qin, Middle Qin, Northern Qin, West Qin, East Qin, Border Qin, and Qinhai!"
"As a result, the empire will temporarily establish Wuyi County!"
.......
At this moment, the First Emperor and Ying Shu looked at each other and nodded.
Although the names for the division of counties in Nanzhou are a bit childish, they are all political strongmen, so they can naturally see what Wang Wan and Li Si are planning.
Obviously, this is to name Nanzhou after Qin.
Completely put Nanzhou into the rule of Qin Dynasty, and left evidence.
This is to tell the world that Nanzhou has been the territory of Great Qin since ancient times.
"This division is great!"
The First Emperor took a sip of tea, nodded in approval, and said: "In that case, let it be promulgated to the world, and the local official system will also be promulgated at the same time!"
"Then the government will draft officials and send the list to Zhangtai Palace!"
"We cannot stop the migration of people to Nanzhou and Zhuyue!"
"This matter is related to the empire's control over Nanzhou and Zhuyue. Don't be careless!"
"promise!"
Nodding in agreement, Li Si and Wang Wan felt a lot of pressure. Of course, they would do this even if the First Emperor didn't mention it.
Because the people in Shangnongfang have already spread the news that Nanzhou is indeed fertile soil.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the people from Shang Nongfang have sent word that Nanzhou is indeed fertile soil suitable for farming. Grain seeds that can be harvested three times a year have been found and the people from Shang Nongfang are cultivating them!"
Li Si took a sip of tea and moistened his throat: "The specific yield is not yet clear, but if it is harvested three times a year, the yield of grains will be higher than that of the Central Plains!"
"Um!"
At this moment, the First Emperor was overjoyed: "It seems that God is blessing our Qin Dynasty!"
"Finish this matter first, and wait until the big thing subsides. Next, there are more things that we need to be busy with!"
"Thank you for your hard work, dear ladies!"
"For the sake of the Qin Dynasty, I have no trouble waiting!" Li Si and Wang Wan saluted the First Emperor, their eyes full of excitement.
They are all sincere people with ideals in their hearts.
Now, what the empire does is their ideal. Naturally, they don't care about being busy.
At this time, the First Emperor handed the silk book to Wang Wan, chuckled, and said: "This is the local government system sent by Min Jun. You two beloved ministers should take a look at it first. If you have any questions, let me know!"
"promise!"
The central official system of the Great Qin Empire had amazed them. Both Li Si and Wang Wan knew that the Min Lord in front of them was extremely talented.
Even the central government system can be solved, let alone the local government system.
Compared with the central government system, the local government system is actually simpler.
Because the Qin Dynasty had implemented the county system for hundreds of years, it already had certain experience and precedents to follow. Gongzi Shu could completely carry out restructuring on this basis.
Wang Wan opened the silk book and read it, but the more he read, the more frightened he became. Then he handed the silk book to Li Si.
Compared to Wang Wan, Li Si was even more surprised by the contents of this silk scroll.
Because some of these thoughts were the same as what he had in mind.
After a long time, Li Si put down the silk book, looked at Wang Wan, and said, "Your Majesty, the official system formulated by Your Majesty is suitable for our great Qin!"
"In this way, our Da Qin's control over the local area will take a further step!"
"It's just that this official system will inevitably encounter obstacles in the process of implementation, especially local powerful people, old aristocrats and others!"
"After all, canceling the three elders is equivalent to cutting off the old family and local powerful people!"
"I'm afraid they won't be willing..."
