In the fifty-fourth year of the Qin Dynasty, on the eighteenth day of the second month of the fourth year of the Second Emperor's reign, the Ministry of Official Affairs suddenly issued a document for each county. Within three months, the Ministry of Official Affairs was to collect statistics on the place of birth, ancestral home and even the inheritance of all registered officials in the counties and counties of the Qin Dynasty, and then register them.
Register for inquiries.
At the same time, in the Qin Dynasty, the Ministry of Civil Affairs sent a large number of officials to Xianyang and Guanzhong to register and register the Xianyang courtiers. This registration and registration, regardless of grade or title, without exception.
In the item of inheritance, if there is no master, you can also fill in the form of ancestor or even great-grandmaster. Unless there are no disciples within three generations, if there are any, they must be registered in the Ministry of Personnel.
This writing by the Ministry of Personnel did not go through the Cabinet Office, but was written directly and suddenly.
Officials in various counties and counties have not noticed much abnormality. After all, it is the official seal of Meng Yi, the official secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. However, the officials in the capital of Xianyang City have more or less noticed some abnormalities.
Since the emergence of the Cabinet Office, the seals of the Six Ministries and the Six Ministries have basically been signed by the Cabinet Office and the Six Ministries. However, this time, the official seal of the Ministry of Personnel only has the official seal of Meng Yi, the Minister of Personnel, but there is no seal of the Cabinet Office.
.
During the reorganization of the imperial court, His Majesty the Emperor had already stated when he established the cabinet that the cabinet would manage affairs and the six ministries would cooperate under the cabinet and be responsible for specific matters. This was the first time that official documents without the cabinet seal appeared.
It is obviously impossible for Meng Yi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, to bypass the Cabinet Office and write the document alone, and Meng Yi would not do so.
Then there seems to be only one explanation. The matters in Meng Yi's official document were sent directly from the emperor's study to the Ministry of Personnel, without going through the Cabinet Office at all. That's why there is only the official seal of Meng Yi and no seal of the Cabinet Office.
After thinking about this, the officials in the DPRK and the Central Government were puzzled, but they all filled in the form honestly and truthfully, and then submitted the printed form issued by the Ministry of Personnel to the Ministry of Personnel.
Four important ministers of the Cabinet Office, including Meng Tian, also received official letters of inquiry from the Ministry of Personnel.
After the official letter was handed over, there was no follow-up from the official department, and no news came from the emperor. Such an unusual thing was gradually forgotten by many officials.
…
The discovery of the Yuzhou Ding, one of the Nine Dings, in the Huaihe River in Guangling County, Donghai County, spread throughout the Qin Dynasty at an unprecedented speed. Countless people, noble families and even ministers in Xianyang and Guanzhong were all talking about it.
No one expected that just four years after entering the Second World War, such a huge and exciting event would come.
What is the Kyushu tripod? It is a symbol of royal power. It is a symbol of the common master of the world for more than two thousand years.
Although the Great Qin Dynasty has now unified the world and has the He family's jade seal that "is commanded by heaven, it means longevity and longevity", in the eyes of some old antiques living in seclusion in the mountains and scholars and scholars who advocate orthodoxy, although the Great Qin Dynasty has already
The new imperial power symbolizes the important weapon of the country. But after all, it is because of the helplessness of the Nine Cauldrons.
In other words, the unification of the world by the Qin Dynasty was not God's will, but the Qin Dynasty was stealing the country and stealing the national destiny of the Zhou royal family.
It seems that this can also explain why when King Zhaoxiang moved the Jiuding to Xianyang, there was a big tripod above the Si River in Pengcheng. He suddenly jumped into the water and disappeared without a trace.
Even when the First Emperor made nearly ten thousand people enter the river to search during his southern tour, he never thought of it. It seemed to further confirm that Da Qin was actually a thief who relied on his strength to steal the country's destiny.
Of course, no one dares to say that it is shameless. However, if you think about it, there will definitely be people who secretly curse Da Qin for being shameless, and even wish or wait for Da Qin to destroy the country.
This can be seen from the fact that in Hu Hai's recruitment order, only a few talents who were beginning to become famous came to apply.
Back then, there were a full 138 great sages in the Doctor's Palace. Unfortunately, most of the doctors left in the Doctor's Palace now are of average ability.
Jiuding can only be owned by the emperor who has the destiny of the country.
This has been a common principle in the hearts of Chinese ancestors for thousands of years.
Although the old Qin people did not care much about Jiuding on the surface, in fact, they were still very sad that Jiuding did not appear at the coronation ceremony of the First Emperor.
However, now Yuzhou Ding has appeared.
The Yuzhou Ding, which had disappeared without a trace and had been searched for for more than a hundred years by the monarchs of the three generations of the Qin Dynasty, suddenly appeared.
Isn't this God's will?
The Yuzhou tripod could not be found, but now, only four years after the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, he automatically appeared in front of the people of the Qin Dynasty, and he appeared in the process of building the Guangling Bridge for the people by His Majesty the Second Emperor.
There is no doubt that this Yuzhou tripod was ordered for the current second emperor.
In the great Qin Dynasty, where the public sentiment was high, Hu Hai's reputation as the Holy Emperor was increasingly confirmed, and the trend of being deified became more obvious.
I don’t know when a Holy Emperor Temple appeared near Guangling Bridge. In the temple there is a bronze sculpture of the Holy Emperor imagined by the people of Guangling. This sculpture was the result of many wealthy households and common people from Donghai County, Kuaiji County, and Sishui County voluntarily offering gold and silver.
Of course, this gold and silver does not refer to real gold and silver, but to the gold of copper and iron.
Although Hu Hai was at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, this temple was not a place of worship, but a temple to enjoy the incense of sacrifice.
Over the past thousands of years, apart from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, His Majesty the Second Emperor of the Qin Dynasty should be the first emperor whose statues were erected by the people to enjoy incense and sacrifice alive.
At the same time, Hei Bingtai quietly released the news that Hu Hai had grasped the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, the sword of the holy way.
The Xuanyuan Sword, the sword of the holy way, hangs from his waist, and now the Yuzhou Ding, which was originally lost, has been rediscovered. There is no doubt. Everything has shown that His Majesty the Second Emperor is the successor of Guo Zuo chosen by God.
The people in Da Qin were in a state of excitement and excitement.
In fact, Hu Hai had received the report jointly sent by Qi Hong, the governor of Donghai County, and others, and the report sent by Weng Zhong three days ago.
However, the report did not provide much useful information to Hu Hai. Because both Qi Hong and Weng Zhong reported a strange thing at the same time, that is, they could not approach the river outlet where the Yuzhou Cauldron was located.
However, the two people's letters and reports, without exception, detailed the process of discovering the Yuzhou Ding.
In fact, the discovery of Yuzhou Ding may really be God's will.
Because the Construction Corps was incorporated into the regular regiments of Daqin by Hu Hai, they were treated as prisoners and could enjoy all the benefits of the regular regiments of Daqin. Naturally, their morale was greatly boosted and everyone felt proud.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the worries of the important officials in the DPRK are somewhat unnecessary. The Chinese people have always been the most industrious and docile ethnic group. As long as they can survive, even if they can barely survive, no one will think about rebellion.
Any person who is not a fool can discover all the changes that have taken place in Kuaiji and other Chu lands after Hu Hai put down Xiang Liang's rebellion. They have exempted all taxes and labor for three consecutive years. I am afraid that even when the King of Chu was there, he had never done so.
I've been there. What's more, although there are occasional labor conscriptions, all the people who serve have received rewards that were unimaginable in the past.
The lives of the relatives were better, and guards were recruited from other counties where there was no rebellion, and the pay was generous. The captured soldiers of the Chu army were actually very happy.
If you say you don't regret following Xiang Liang's rebellion, I'm afraid not many people will believe it. But what's the use of regret? You can only serve as a prisoner and do hard labor, waiting for a certain amnesty from the supreme emperor.
But what no one expected was that happiness came so quickly. The petitions from relatives in Jiujiang and Kuaiji could be delivered to His Majesty the Emperor. And the most important thing is that although His Majesty the Emperor did not agree to the petitions from relatives, he gave more
Good reply.
Being able to become a regular legion of Da Qin and enjoy generous benefits, is there any better gift than this?
Therefore, the progress of the Guangling Bridge project became even faster after the establishment of the Construction Corps. During the winter dry season, the barrage was completed in just over a month. This also included the flood control dams more than a hundred miles upstream.
It needs to be built in advance.
After all, after damming the river, the upstream water cannot flow down and will soon be accumulated and raised. If there were no dams, I am afraid that Donghai, Kuaiji, Jiujiang, Sishui and other counties around the Huaihe River would also experience floods in winter.
.
Although the progress of the construction has accelerated, Shangfang Zuocheng Tianfang, who is responsible for the construction of Guangling Bridge, knows that the time left for him and others is actually very short. Because there is at most less than three months of hard work, Chu Di will enter
Meiyu period. At that time, the water flow of the Huaihe River is the most abundant. If the foundations of more than ten bridges cannot be laid within three months, all efforts will be in vain.
I work overtime every day to clean up the sludge in the river, and then pour the heated iron pillars with a radius of one foot into the deep pits.
On the evening of the tenth day of February, the soldiers of the Qin Army in the Construction Corps were working together to dig the foundation hole in the middle of the river. Unexpectedly, just after digging a few times, a majestic stream of water suddenly spurted out from the hole.
When they came out, more than a hundred soldiers of the construction corps who were under construction were rushed around and unable to stand at all.
When such an accident occurred in the most important bridge foundation hole, Tian Fang and others came in a hurry. They organized more than two hundred people to prepare to open a hole along the hole to drain the groundwater out. At this time, Tian Fang was just
I thought I and others had dug into a water hole.
But as the two hundred or so people approached, the pothole that was a few feet in size and had stopped spraying water spewed out a stream of water that was several times faster than before.
However, this time it did not stop automatically after spraying like the first time. Instead, it shook for a while, and the muddy Huaihe River slowly rolled towards both sides. It seemed that there was a wild beast rolling in the mud of the river.
, wanting to break out of the mud. (To be continued...)
