Daqin started with offering immortal medicine

Bai Zheng also gave up at this time, turned his head and glared at Li Yang, and asked: "The common people are above the local government, and the majesty of the local government has been lost. How will the court order be issued?"

To be honest, this question is really tricky and realistic.

Because once the officials in the counties and counties are absent from work and go on strike, the state machinery will stop functioning, and the imperial court's decrees will naturally not be spread to all parts of the world.

In other words, the entire Great Qin will no longer be ruled by the imperial court.

At this moment, Ying Zheng also had to take it seriously. With a solemn expression on his face, he turned to look at Li Yang.

Li Yang ignored Bai Zheng, turned his head to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, asking the people to supervise and supervise the implementation of the New Deal is not to indulge the people in murder and arson, nor to let them do things freely, but to have leadership and discipline. to act."

"At the beginning, I said that the imperial court issued a decree, and the people from all over the country set up an inspection team. What is an inspection team? The so-called team means that they are not scattered and disorderly people, but have leadership, discipline, and act in accordance with the imperial government's orders. representative of the people."

"There is authority and discipline, heh, it's ridiculous!"

Bai Zheng sneered, and asked: "My Great Qin has a vast territory, and your Lord Zhen is at the top of the court, how can you control those unruly people?"

"Bai Shangshu asked a good question!"

Li Yang smiled, turned to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, the question Bai Shangshu asked is actually the second thing I want to ask today! I plan to change the system."

"Reform?"

This time, everyone was stunned.

You know, the last restructuring was the abolition of Jiuqing, and the department and temple were changed into ministries and courtyards.

And this time, what does he want to do?

"Restructuring?" Ying Zheng was also curious, with a look of doubt on his face.

Li Yang nodded: "Return to Your Majesty, I want to set up a provincial system!"

2 Chapter Sixty

"Provincial system?"

Everyone had question marks on their faces, and they all became curious.

Ying Zheng said: "What is the provincial system?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the provincial system is the local administrative division system."

When Li Yang said this, he knew that everyone must not understand, so he directly explained: "Our Great Qin has a vast territory, and there are too many counties and counties, which are not under each other, resulting in the dispersion of local powers. It is difficult for the imperial court to effectively supervise the counties and counties in various places. Therefore , I suggested that Daqin be divided into several provinces, which means adding provincial administrative agencies above the counties and counties to govern the counties and counties within the province area. From now on, each place will be governed by provinces."

"You mean to set up large local administrative regions, set up provincial administrative agencies, concentrate the power of counties and counties in the province, and govern local military, political, and financial power?" Ying Zheng raised his brows slightly and began to think.

Li Yang nodded: "Exactly. The establishment of the provincial system can consolidate the unity of the country politically, centralize the power of the imperial court, and supervise the counties and counties more effectively. However, in order to avoid excessive power of the provinces, Military power can be free from provincial restraint. In this way, the Great Qin army and government are separated, local government affairs are divided into provinces and governed, and local military power is divided into camps and guarded, which can be described as both.”

Yingzheng pondered for a while, and then his eyes lit up, and he obviously saw the absolute advantage of the provincial system immediately, and couldn't help but praise: "It's wonderful, this strategy is very clever!"

Li Si and others also had their eyes bright, and they praised repeatedly: "The provincial system of Zhen Guojun is indeed a good strategy. Since the Northern Expedition, the territory of the Great Qin has more than doubled. There are hundreds of counties and counties in our Great Qin Dynasty. There are too many counties and counties, and the territory is too large. Some counties and counties are beyond the reach of the imperial court. This disadvantage."

Speaking of this, Li Si hurriedly said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I agree with the provincial system of Lord Zhen!"

Cao Shen, Zhang Cang, and officials from the National Development and Reform Administration also came out one after another: "The advantages of the provincial system are obvious, and the ministers and others are seconding!"

Ying Zheng nodded very satisfied, and looked at Li Yang with admiration, feeling very happy in his heart, this guy is really talented.So he immediately said: "Zunzuo, the king of the town will lead the development and reform department, and implement the provincial system immediately, and the local provinces will be governed!"

Seeing the emperor's approval, Li Yang was also very happy.

However, he was not surprised by this result at all, because the provincial system was a major development of the prefecture and county system since the Qin Dynasty. All have far-reaching influences, and the provinces have become the local administrative institutions of our country, which have been preserved to this day.If Qin Shihuang couldn't see this administrative system with obvious advantages, wouldn't he be a fool?

More importantly, Li Yang also improved the provincial system of the Yuan Dynasty.

The provincial system of the Yuan Dynasty, centralized power, and local military, political, and financial powers were omnipresent. In fact, there were hidden dangers, that is, the provincial feudal officials had too much power, and with military power in their hands, it was easy to rebel against self-government.

On the other hand, Li Yang controlled the province's scope of power to the administrative level. In the words of later generations, it was the separation of the military and the government.In the province, only government is in charge, and the military region is in charge of military power.

In this way, the military and political system of the Great Qin Dynasty is actually almost the same as that of China in later generations.

Because Daqin's army is mainly the four major armies, to put it bluntly, it is also the four major military regions.

Among the four major armies, one is the brave Guanzhong Army, which is mainly responsible for the defense of Gyeonggi, which is the Lantian Camp.The second is the Lishan Legion, the third is the Lingnan Legion stationed in the Baiyue Lingnan area by Zhao Tuo, and the Great Wall Legion led by Wang Li in the north.

These four armies are the four major military regions of the Great Qin, guarding the four directions, and the administration of the Great Qin is divided into provinces, which can be said to be absolutely safe. This is also a major reason why the Yingzheng Council approved the implementation of the provincial system without any hesitation.

After approving the provincial system, Li Yang continued: "Your Majesty, if a province is set up in a local area, the imperial government's decree can be circulated to the local area. In this way, the above-mentioned matter of inspectors formed by the common people to supervise the implementation of the New Deal can be accepted. The province is under the leadership of the province, which controls the direction, progress and stop of the local people's supervision and supervision of the New Deal. At the same time, the county soldiers in each place are controlled by the province and are responsible for maintaining local public security and ensuring local order. In this way, Bai Shangshu worries can be resolved.”

Bai Zheng and the others were all dumbfounded.

They never imagined in their dreams how things would turn out like this...

It was obviously a dead end, but in an instant, the situation was completely different.

More importantly, Li Yang actually came up with a clever plan to resolve all this.

It is to let the people supervise the New Deal and launch a big storm from the bottom up. This kind of struggle from the bottom up is like a prairie fire, so once it breaks out, no force can resist it unless the army is used. of.

Originally, although this kind of bottom-up struggle was terrifyingly powerful, it was also dangerous. As long as the key points and risks were pointed out, the emperor might not dare to use it.However, what makes people even more desperate is that Li Yang actually came up with a provincial system, which directly and perfectly solved the risk of local administrative paralysis.

Feng Quji, Bai Zheng and the others, at this time, they are suffering from the heart, committing a crime, what kind of crime is this?The deadlock that I and others had clearly created was resolved by Li Yang so easily, and looking at the situation now, once Li Yang's method was followed to mobilize the people from the bottom up to fight against the gentry and the upstarts, If you wait for others, you will definitely lose.

Thinking of this, Feng Quji and others suddenly showed a look of pain, wanting to beat their chests and stamp their feet.

God, is this still a human?How could he even break the deadlock?

Feng Quji and the others were almost on the verge of crying, and were completely stunned on the spot.

After a pause, Feng Quji was still unwilling to admit defeat, and came out and said: "Although the provincial system can spread the government's government orders to the localities, according to what Lord Zhen said, a province is just an administrative organization for a large area, such as counties and counties. The two levels are paralyzed, the province is still unable to control the overall situation, and our Great Qin is still in danger."

Li Yang smiled: "President Feng is overthinking. The common people will not replace the administrative power at the county and county levels, but the imperial court directly granted them the power to supervise and supervise the land reform of the New Deal, so the county and county levels are still operating normally. However, for the time being, the county government does not have to worry about the land reform of the New Deal. More importantly, the people’s supervision of the land reform of the New Deal is not murder and arson, and it is even more impossible to dare to question court officials. .Feng Xiang, do you think so?"

"This……"

This time, Feng Quji was at a loss for words, and there was absolutely no reason to continue to refute him.

Because Li Yang's explanation is clear enough, the people are not trying to replace the county government, but just inspecting and supervising the implementation of the New Deal.

In other words, the common people are the imperial envoys directly appointed by the imperial court, which is equivalent to exercising the imperial court's power of inspecting the localities and supervising the New Deal.If you haven't completed the work of restoring the old land system of the Qin State, they will directly supervise it.

The power to recall local county and county officials lies with the province or the central government. As long as the province and the central government do not recall you for the time being, you can work normally.

It's just that the people are not restricted by the county government when they distribute the land they annexed to the gentry and local tyrants.

Feng Quji stood there in a daze, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't say a word, so he could only watch Li Yang grinning slightly with a smug smile on his face. .

At this moment, Feng Quji almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.The whole body was slightly stunned, and he seemed to be a little unstable, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.
