Landing at the door of the 20th Prince's Mansion, Wang Wan and Zhang Juzheng put down what they were holding in their hands, and looked at the Dongchang inner guard who had knelt down beside them: "Send Mr. Wang back to the Mansion, and let the Young Master
Arrange a mansion for Master Zhang!"
At the same time, he raised his hand and released Xue Bing and Gongsun Lan. These two women were brought over by the stone gate. Naturally, they could not stay in the stone gate forever: "Place these two girls in the mansion, the same as Miss Shangguan Haitang!"
"
After finishing the explanation, he looked at Chu Yi. Chu Er directly ordered: "Ring the bell and summon all the civil and military officials to come to court to let them know that I am back!"
"Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang!" The huge bell sounded far away in the capital of Qin, and the faces of civil and military officials suddenly changed color. The only person in the world who can summon all civil and military officials to go to court is the emperor of the Great Qin Empire!
As soon as he thought of this, he immediately stood up and hurried towards the palace as quickly as possible.
"Meet my father!"
"I heard that you sent more than 20 million people from another world to Chu. Are they settled properly?" The First Emperor said with anxiety on his face. There were more than 20 million people, which was almost close to the total population of the previous world.
With so many people added at once, Qin's national power will inevitably increase greatly. However, Qin has only resettled millions of people, and the price of food has skyrocketed. It may be even more difficult for Chu to resettle 20 million people.
"The people have been settled, but the number of township officials is huge. Now Chudi is urgently training scholars from another world!"
The Qin Empire had a system of prefectures and counties, with townships, pavilions, and li set up below the county level.
One hundred households per li, one li long.
There is a pavilion every ten miles and one pavilion long.
There are ten pavilions and one township, and one township chief.
The power has been completely extended to the most basic level. It can be said that the rule is extremely strict, and it is even similar to the modern system.
Such a system can mobilize all the strength of the country in times of emergency.
But the biggest trouble with such a rule is that it requires a sufficient number of officials to support it.
Both the district chief and the pavilion chief could be elected locally, but the township chief was appointed by the imperial court.
In the past, because of the vast territory and sparsely populated areas, and the large number of old aristocratic officials from the Six Kingdoms involved, it was manageable.
But after Zhao Wen became emperor, he began to replace a large number of officials from various places.
Although he had not been emperor for a long time, under Zhao Wen's hands, almost all the officials of the former Qin Dynasty had changed places, and a large number of positions were even replaced by scholars he admitted through examinations and scholars brought back from the Ming Dynasty.
These people have not been in office for long. This time, the Chu region transferred many capable and experienced township officials and county magistrates. It can be said that Daqin is now extremely short of officials, especially capable officials.
"In the newly resettled place, coupled with inexperienced officials, severe punishments and severe laws must be used to prevent everyone from daring to act rashly!" The voice of the First Emperor was extremely firm. These people had no affiliation with the Qin Dynasty. As long as someone provokes them, they can do it at any time.
Make trouble.
And the most indispensable thing in the world is ambitious people!
"I would like to ask the Supreme Emperor to take over the Chu Territory on my behalf. It only takes one year for these people to be stabilized!"
Because of pumpkins and various high-yielding seeds, as well as the reclamation order, Zhao Wen's prestige in Chu was extremely high, even higher than that of the First Emperor. However, the number of people in Ming Dynasty now far exceeded the population of Chu by several times.
Even if the royal family and nobles dispersed and took away millions of people, the population ratio would still be too huge.
What's more important is that there is a shortage of officials in the Chu region, and the officials that are there are being promoted in a hurry.
For example, Xiao He, who was just a minor official before, was first appointed as the county magistrate by Zhao Wen, and then became the governor of Jiujiang County a few months later. After Zhao Wen became the emperor, Jiujiang County was divided into ten counties, which can be said to be the best in the world.
Large county.
The people who came this time, because the gate was opened in Jiujiang County, and Jiujiang County had just deployed all the officials, so the largest number of people were accommodated. Now they probably have a population of nearly 10 million.
Such a large population has even exceeded the previous Great Qin. Even if Xiao He is a genius, this is beyond the limit of his current abilities.
The same is true for several other counties and newly drawn counties!
Although with the Jinyi Guards around, Zhao Wen can clear up any trouble at any time, but if people's hearts are in chaos, it cannot be restored by killing.
But if the First Emperor is in charge and can deal with various emergencies at any time, for up to one year, not only can he recruit officials from all over the country, but he can also train these officials. Only then can these people be truly included in the Qin Empire.
"I am now sitting in charge of Chu Di, which has a population of almost 30 million?" Looking at Zhao Wen, the First Emperor had a strange look in his eyes. This was the best way he came up with, but his body was suddenly weak, and after passing the throne, he
His sudden improvement was definitely inseparable from his son.
After becoming the emperor, he first changed the military system, retaining only the elite, and then changed the administrative system. Even the eunuchs in his palace were changed a lot. He was not in the Qin capital, and he would rather let the eunuchs handle government affairs than let himself intervene.
He has no defense against himself and will not believe anything he says.
But now, he was able to generously offer to sit in the Chu region, which made the First Emperor think so weird.
"My son, I absolutely trust my father!" Zhao Wen said with a stern face. The court was full of veterans of the First Emperor, and it was in the Qin land where the First Emperor swept across six kingdoms. In a place like this, if the First Emperor returned to power, his prestige would reach its peak in an instant.
.
But in the Chu region, his reputation is even better. In addition, a large number of new officials are Ming Dynasty scholars. In the largest Jiujiang County, Xiao He, who was born under him, is the county governor. He wants these people to be respectful to the legendary cruel First Emperor.
, even if the First Emperor was very capable, he would never be able to win over people's hearts within a year.
Not to mention that Dongchang and Jinyiwei were still there, allowing the First Emperor to come to Chu to take charge, he would definitely be at ease!
"Your Majesty, come to court!" Chu Yi's high-pitched voice resounded throughout the hall.
"I welcome your Majesty!" All the ministers raised their hands and bowed at the same time.
He slowly sat on his dragon chair and looked down. When he left, there were a few more people. Liu Bang, the commander of the Shaofu, Han Xin, the deputy general of the Forbidden Army, Lu Ze, and someone in his thirties, probably Meng Tian, were there.
There was Wang Wan, the chief minister of the cabinet who had just returned from Chu. Although he looked tired, he was still standing in the queue.
He leaned back slightly and said, "No gifts!"
As soon as the voice fell, a wave flashed across his waist and the jade, and Zhao Wen's soul began to rise crazily. In just a moment, it had already more than doubled. At this speed, it won't take long for his soul to rise.
The soul can reach the limit of the current body.
In addition to the improvement of his soul, Zhao Wen even had a feeling that the fate of the world had completely gathered on him. He was the protagonist of this world, and his actions were unfavorable!
