Chapter 203
Li Si, the person who strongly supports the eschatology, has changed his mind, and the possibility of successful eschatology is extremely small. Ying Ning was anxious and shouted: "Li Si, if you say it is abolished, what should I do if the heroes are? My great Qin has always been rewarded for merit. I will never let the great Qin break his promise and destroy the bridge when crossing the river, right?"
Li Si had no good idea for this problem. When he heard this, he was speechless. At this moment, Han Fei took out the memorial, raised it high, and stuttered: "Your Majesty, Han Fei has this memorial."
Although Han Fei was born stuttering, his talent was admired by his ministers. When he heard that he had a report, he calmed down and thought that when he heard that even Ying Ning would no longer force Li Si and look at Han Fei.
The King of Qin waved his hand, and Zhao Gao came over to take the memorial and submitted it to the King of Qin. The King of Qin could guess the meaning inside without looking at it. He opened it and read it again, looking at Han Fei and said, "It's still a joint memorial."
The memorial is too long, and it will take a long time to read it to you. I will find someone who knows the inside story to tell you briefly. Mr. Zhou, you have signed your name, and you will tell me the meaning of the memorial."
Han Fei stuttered, it would be a very painful thing to ask him to say that he was careless. Although this memorial was not written by Zhou Chong, Zhou Chong was the initiator, so it would be best for him to tell it.
Zhou Chong was always at the forefront at the critical moment. All the ministers knew that he had always had a lot of tricks, and people unexpectedly thought that his intention would be adopted in most cases. Maybe he gave up the vocation and the ministers were unwilling to do so, but they had to listen to him patiently.
With a response, Zhou Chong briefly said: "Dear colleagues: Zhou Chong was ordered to explain the general intention of the memorial. If there is no need, please correct me.
This memorial was written by Han Fei, and the signatures include Mr. Liaozi, Zhang Liang, Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Meng Wu, Meng Tian, Meng Yi, Li Mu, Wang Ao, Gan Luo, and the following are here.”
With so many important officials signed, it seems that the King of Qin had already had an idea. It was obviously unwise for the ministers to make a feud, and the ministers were afraid. The people close to Ying Ning couldn't help but move a few steps away.
Zhou Chong continued: "The main idea of this memorial is as follows: First, it is recommended that the king abolish the feudal division, establish counties and counties, and establish thirty-six counties across the country, and the county will be established. The county will be established. The king will choose the virtuous and appointed as the prefect.
Second, the separation of military and government, officials in charge of government affairs shall not interfere in military affairs, and officials in charge of military affairs shall not interfere in government affairs. Third, the separation of finance and government affairs shall be established, and a unified accounting system shall be established. The lending accounting method shall be implemented nationwide and the accounting management shall be managed uniformly.
”
In addition to the first of the three items, Li Si just said, the other two items were even more unheard of and unheard of. They couldn't help but open their mouths so much that they were so surprised that they couldn't speak.
Ying Ning retorted: "Zhou Chong, I heard you mean that you should change everything. May I ask Lord Zhou. Today, I inherited the shortcomings of the Warring States Period, different books, bad car, different weight, different measurements, and different trends. Can you change it by saying that you can change it?"
The King of Qin suddenly stood up from the throne and slapped: "Well said it! I also think that these disadvantages exist today. Before the world is unified, you think it is impossible for me to unify the world. Now I have unified the world.
This achievement has been done by Shang Tang, King Wu of Zhou, and Duke Zhou, and others, so it is nothing. Now, I will do something that they have never done, nor have I thought about, and they dare not do, nor can they do it.
You all listened to it: All my books on Daqin must be the same, the car must be the same track, the power must be the same, and the measurement must be the same. If you send a car from Xianyang, you must travel freely to every place in Daqin.
My decree is to understand everyone in the world, and destroy all the checkpoints along the way, and confiscate all the weapons."
These words shocked the crowd, and the ministers were shocked. They couldn't help but scream, and there was no more sound.
Zhou Chong knew that this was not only a manifestation of the Qin King's ambition, but also had great benefits for later generations. At that time, iron tools had gradually dominated, and those bronze weapons were collected and recast.
It can be used to build agricultural tools or other uses. It has only benefits but no harm in the development of society at that time. He said: "The king is wise and Zhou Chong is impressed."
The ministers woke up and said, "The king is wise!"
The King of Qin sat down and said, "Mr. Zhou, continue."
Zhou Chong went down and said, "The fourth strategy is how to reward meritorious officials that my colleagues are concerned about. After discussion, we unanimously agreed that rewarding meritorious officials does not necessarily mean that they must be divided into vassals."
The inability to appease the heroes and forcing the Qin King to enfeoff was Ying Ning's last hope. If this could be solved, then his hope would be ruined. Therefore, he was more anxious than anyone else and asked, "How to reward the heroes?"
Zhou Chong smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Good Education Ying learned that we all agreed that using salary is better than using land. Since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, there were very few titles for marquis. Shang Yang was enfeoffed Shang Land. Not long after, Shang Yang's rebellion was leaked, and the land was eliminated, and the other was Ying Hou.
It has been hundreds of years since the Qin Dynasty to reward meritorious officials with salary instead of land, so there will be no difficulties in implementing it."
Han Fei, Wei Liao and the others said together: "The king, I will discuss it."
When things came to this point, Li Si knew what he should do, so he hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, Li Si will discuss it."
I think it is not convenient for the court to make orders. Replacing the dividing of land and title of marquis with salary can correct this disadvantage. From then on, the suffering of the princes in greatness will not reappear in the Qin Dynasty."
"Well said!" The King of Qin praised: "The princes are in power, which makes the emperor unable to order the emperor. What causes this situation is the problem of feudal division. The reason is that Li Si's memorial is very clear, so I decided: I will never be a marquis in the Qin Dynasty! Many meritorious officials will give me salary and titles.
Those who have made great contributions can pass on three generations. After three generations, they must rely on their own abilities to gain fame and fame. This article has been implemented since Shang Yang's reforms and will not change in the future."
The King of Qin had made up his mind and could not change it. The ministers had to accept the reality that they could not be granted the title of marquis and said together: "Abide by the order!"
Ying Ning was determined to look at Feng. Things were irreversible, but he was still dissatisfied and stood still without saying a word. The King of Qin asked: "Uncle Wang, what do you think? Do you still think that my actions are wrong?"
If you persist, there will inevitably be an unexpected disaster. Ying Ning weighed the pros and cons, and had to say: "I dare not return to the king. I think this move is to follow the will of heaven and follow the will of the people. It is a way to benefit all generations."
This is obviously a bullshit, but if this can be said from his mouth, it means that his conspiracy was completely shattered, so the King of Qin stopped worrying about it and said, "The fifth is to add a title to me. My achievements are far above Cheng Tang, Wu Wang, and Zhou Gong. I have achieved true unification and then called Emperor.
I call myself me. I am the first emperor since Pangu opened the world, so I am the First Emperor!"
The title of honor is just a title. The ancients valued it very much, but Zhou Chong did not agree. The Qin Dynasty was a turning point in Chinese history. He planned a series of events that influenced Shenwan. There were many of them still used today. Therefore, Qin Shihuang's achievements were indeed unmatched, and it was impossible to be called emperor, so Zhou Chong would not stop him.
