The purpose of the First Emperor's trip was simple.

That is to let Yingshu change his official office.

Now that the affairs of the Sikou General Administration have basically been settled, all that is needed is for someone to implement it according to the plan, and the framework of the Sikou General Administration has also been completed.

After hearing this, Yingshu pondered for a moment, then turned to the First Emperor and said, "Father, my eldest brother and Chen Ping both have great talents. It is no longer a matter of taking charge of the Sikou General Administration."

"But not this year!"

"The Great Qin Sikou General Administration is at a critical moment!"

Having said this, Ying Shu walked to the map of the office of the Sikou General Administration and said word by word: "Father, this year's Sikou General Administration will set up the Sikou organization at the county level!"

"This level is very simple!"

"Now at the county level, at least the world's noble families and hundreds of schools of thought will not stop it!"

"My son, Chen Ping, and others have discussed and decided that this year, the Public Security Bureau will conduct the first census in the empire, and then draw up a yellow population list and re-determine the inheritance!"

"This year the Great Sikou is very important!"

At this point, Yingying said with a faint voice, "Father, it's time for us to check the fields!"

"Led by Prime Minister Li, the national government went out to check the fields. At the same time, the Public Security Bureau conducted a census of the population and formulated a population yellow book!"

"The other departments will assist and mobilize an elite team to serve as the basis for the census of land and population, as a team of guardians!"

"In the future, they will be the foundation of the armed division force!"

"Father, the imperial court's tasks this year are very heavy, almost no less than the previous year, and there is not just one currency reform!"

.........

Yingshu's words made the First Emperor look solemn.

He kept his eyes on the map, pondered for a long time, and said: "I'm afraid the effect of checking the fields at this time will be ineffective!"

"Why not wait until the Sikou General Administration extends to the countryside?"

In the eyes of the First Emperor, when the Sikou General Administration extended to the countryside, it meant that the Qin Empire's control over the Central Plains had truly penetrated into the countryside.

This is the best time to do it.

Hearing this, Yingshu took a sip of tea and handed it to the official: "The township is the gathering point of the clan, local power, and almost all forces!"

"If the Sikou General Administration wants to extend to the countryside, it will cost a lot of money, and the empire will need to go all out!"

"Previously, the minister decided to abolish the three elders and establish the township magistrate and the township prime minister. He only took advantage of the great power of the Qin Empire that swept through the six kingdoms of Shandong!"

"Even so, my father also knows that it is actually very difficult for the imperial court to control the countryside!"

"Basically, except for the abolition of the Three Elders and the establishment of township orders, the rest of the situation has not changed much from before. This is why they did not resist fiercely!"

"So, at the level of Xiang, if the empire is not stable, we can't move easily!"

"What's more, the current empire needs to have books with the same text, cars with the same track, travel with the same principles, unify weights and measures, and promote the continuation of Qin law!"

"This is a difficult thing in itself!"

"It will take most of the empire's energy!"

"Moreover, now there is currency reform, census, and land inventory!"

"Father, our tasks this year are very heavy. There is no need to touch the township level!"

"After all, the academy and the national examination also need to be strengthened!"

.........

When he first came to the Sikou General Administration, the First Emperor came in a good mood.

When the Ying Shu was finished, the first emperor's good mood was gone. Although the Ying Shu was said easily, he knew very well that every item was troublesome.

"Li Si is responsible for inventorying the fields, attracting the attention of local powerful people and old aristocratic families, and then using the national examination to influence the world's scholars, so that hundreds of schools of thought do not dare to mess around!"

The First Emperor took a sip of tea and said meaningfully: "Then launch a currency reform to attract the attention of the world, so that you can calmly complete the armed divisions and population census?"

"Ha ha......."

At this moment, Yingshu smiled awkwardly and said to the First Emperor: "Father, this is all for the Qin Dynasty!"

"Teachers have a lot of experience and abilities, but they are naturally far behind!"

........

Naturally, the First Emperor would not care about this.

He knew in his heart that these things would have to happen sooner or later. Now that Ying Shu had been thought of, it was a good thing for the empire, not a bad thing.

"Fusu and Chen Ping are indeed unable to take on such a big responsibility!"

"You continue to be the chief commander!"

At this point, the First Emperor changed the topic and said: "But you also know that the national examination is also the top priority of the empire this year!"

"Especially to institutionalize and normalize the national examination, we need someone with strong abilities and insights to take charge!"

"I thought about Meng Yi before, but I'm afraid Meng Yi is powerless!"

"You also know that Meng Yi now also has to take charge of the academy..."

The First Emperor's intention was very clear, which was to involve Ying Shu.

Just somewhat reluctant.

He knows in his heart that he must be involved in everything, and he must not be exhausted in the end.

Moreover, doing so would not be good for the Qin Empire.

Only when a hundred flowers bloom can an empire grow healthily.

The empire cannot rely on one person for everything. If something happens to him, the empire will collapse without a fight.

"Father, the national examination is a matter of the Department of Education!"

"It is most appropriate for Xu Zheng to be responsible for this matter!"

Yingshu took a sip of tea and said word by word to the First Emperor: "My son can assist Xu Zheng as a staff officer!"

"Give me some advice for Xu Zheng!"

"Father, today's empire itself is carried forward by you alone!"

"You also know how dangerous such an empire is!"

"Now, the court is beginning to get rid of this situation step by step. We must persist and not go back to the starting point all of a sudden!"

"The Great Qin Empire can't rely on the father and son to fight on their shoulders, right?"

"Now my father is in his prime. After my father, there are also sons and ministers, but what about the sons and ministers?"

"Will little Chang'an really grow up like his father, or like his son?"

"Father, we have to think about the future of the empire!"

...

At this moment, Ying Shu spoke with some seriousness.

From the day he established himself in Da Qin and became a member of the imperial family of Da Qin, Ying Shu began to prepare for this matter.

Now that we have finally made some progress, we will naturally not let the First Emperor be destroyed because of his quickness.

Moreover, in a normally functioning empire, it is not a good thing for powerful ministers to appear. Centralizing power to one person is often the beginning of disaster.

Yingshu naturally doesn’t want the Qin Empire to go down this path!

Therefore, he must eliminate all bad signs one by one!
