Chapter 252 Matters that need to be handled by the emperor
Putting the mobilization of auxiliary troops on hold until after the dynasty had dispersed, Zhao Wen looked at Wei Liao, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Liu Bang, the commander of the Shaofu.
"After the two ministers have dismissed the court, they will come over with Wang Aiqing for a discussion!"
Nowadays, all the military provisions of Da Qin are provided by the Shaofu, and all the equipment are provided by the Ministry of War. Zhao Wen naturally wants to ask clearly before the war.
After arranging the war, he turned to look at the three cabinet members. Zhao Wen was secretly disappointed. For such a long time, he had brought tens of thousands of ministers from various worlds, but the Qin court had not changed much, not even the number of people.
If the increase is too much, obviously, this is a cabinet problem.
However, Zhang Juzheng is still at the county level, and his next step is to serve as minister. He is not suitable to be transferred to the cabinet before he is fully familiar with the Qin Dynasty.
"In the past month, almost tens of millions of people have entered various parts of Daqin. How has the cabinet responded?"
Before Zhao Wen left, he handed over all government affairs to the cabinet and the inner study. However, the inner study could only passively handle the affairs assigned by the cabinet and had no choice.
"Back to your majesty, the cabinet has allocated all the necessary resources for relocating the population from various places. No famine has occurred in any place due to the increase in population. Due to the increase in population, I plan to add forty-three new counties. After your majesty seals it, it can be spread throughout the world.
!”
Zhao Wen secretly sighed in his heart. After all, Wang Wan was not Lu Huiqing, so he was too cautious in his actions. However, he felt relieved at the same time. He was not in the capital. If he encountered a big boss like Lu Huiqing, he would probably be the first to come back.
The thing is to kill people.
"The population of Shu has increased from more than one million to more than six million. Now there are dozens of counties. In my opinion, it is extremely inappropriate to call it a county!"
"I plan to upgrade Shu County to Shu State, and set up counties under Shu State, which is like adding another layer above the counties and counties!"
Having said this, Zhao Wen looked at the ministers below. Everyone bowed their heads in deep thought. No one spoke. They leaned back slightly and looked down with a leisurely expression.
Setting up states above counties is inevitable in the future. After all, as the population increases, it will be too complicated for counties to handle administrative affairs, whether it is ministries or cabinets. More importantly, many urgent matters will also be handled.
hold up.
But for officials in the DPRK and the Central Government, when the county is established at the state level, the status of local officials will inevitably be elevated. Even some powerful local officials will inevitably compete with various ministries. This is considered a reduction of the rights of each ministry, and naturally they must be carefully considered.
"I second the proposal!" Wang Wan, Feng Quji, and Li Si simultaneously stepped forward and saluted.
"I second the proposal!" Shi Teng, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Wei Liao, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Wei Zhuang, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, also stepped forward and saluted at the same time.
Unlike other people in the palace, these people clearly knew that the Qin Imperial Army was currently at war with a country called the Song Dynasty, and this Song Dynasty had more than 100 million people.
In addition, His Majesty can enter different worlds, and the population will inevitably continue to migrate. Today, the Qin Dynasty only has tens of millions of people and only dozens of counties. The county system can cope with it, but if the population reaches hundreds of millions, there will probably be hundreds of counties.
In the future, there may even be thousands of counties, and all the affairs of so many counties will be reported. Not to mention whether it will delay things, but the three of them in the cabinet will not be able to handle so many affairs even if they are extremely busy.
Therefore, although His Majesty said it suddenly, in the view of the three cabinet members, this is inevitable for the Qin Dynasty in the future. The establishment of Shu County now can be regarded as an experiment in the state system so that the court can deal with it in the future.
"It's not just Shu. The population of Chu in the south now far exceeds that of Shu. Even if there is a Supreme Emperor sitting in charge, there is only one Supreme Emperor after all, and Chu is too far away from the capital of Qin. I suggest that a state can be established in Chu."
!”
In the process of handling affairs sent from various places, the Chu region spends the most time on the road, and Chu region now accounts for half of the world's population. If this continues, a large number of affairs will inevitably be delayed on the road.
In Wang Wan's view, unless the emperor planned to build another court in Chu, the implementation of the state system in Chu was inevitable for the current Qin Dynasty.
"Accurate!" Zhao Wen glanced at Wang Wan with satisfaction and said directly: "The cabinet is responsible for dividing the Chu region into states and reporting it to state officials!"
One matter after another was reported and dealt with continuously, because now Daqin has exempted all taxes in the world, and the affairs of officials in various places have been reduced by most. The most reported matters are the various projects that need to be started in various places.
Nowadays, all the projects in Daqin use the labor recruitment system, and relying solely on counties and counties is naturally unable to complete them and requires funding from the court.
However, with the support of several warehouses of gold, silver and jewelry that Zhao Wen placed in the Shaofu, the cabinet could be said to accept all projects submitted by counties. Only when several counties or areas involving several counties were involved, Zhao Wen's seal was required.
Zhao Wen will naturally not refuse. As long as he submits the report, he will agree to it!
After finishing all the court affairs, return to the harem study. This is also the only place Zhao Wen will come to in the harem.
Although Lao Qin took some concubines with him when he left, there were still a large number of concubines left. Even for his own reputation, Zhao Wen would not appear in other places in the harem.
However, after staying in the Song Dynasty for such a long time, my new palace should be built.
"Your Majesty, the young master ordered Liu Bang to ask for an audience!" Chu Yi walked over lightly and whispered.
"pass!"
The young master is in charge of all his own assets and can be said to be the emperor's chief steward. He didn't say anything in the court and knew that he wanted to discuss the war with Wang Jian but still came over. It was obviously something big.
"Your Majesty, I am very happy. The current paper output of the Shaofu can fully support the paper consumption of various government offices and schools!"
Liu Bang came in with a happy face and reported loudly to Zhao Wen that there were only a few papermaking craftsmen at the beginning, but now there are tens of thousands. This was all cultivated bit by bit by him as a young official.
No matter who it is, they will never dare to deny the achievements of his Shaofu Ling!
"Okay!" Zhao Wen praised with satisfaction. In just a few months, he was able to train paper craftsmen who could supply all the schools in the world. This is definitely a reflection of Liu Bang's ability. Another person would never be able to achieve this speed.
Looking at the excited Liu Bang in front of him, after following him, it can be said that he was conscientious. First, he sent old scholars to seduce Fusu, and then it was about the integration of the people. Even the livestock distributed in various places, Liu Bang did it personally. It was definitely
A qualified Shaofu Ling.
But Zhao Wen knew that Liu Bang would probably have a hard time in the future!
He has always tried to limit the spread of the history of later generations in the Qin Dynasty, because he was afraid that after knowing his results, it would cause conflicts among the courtiers of the Qin Dynasty.
But this time to attack the Song Dynasty, too many Qin troops will enter the Song Dynasty. When these people come back, Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, will be known to everyone. Even if he has his own protection by then, I am afraid that he, the Shaofu Order
