His return to the court also heralded the end of the tribal control of the Huns, Donghu, Puyu, and Sushen, and the entire territory of the north and northeast completely completed the county system.

For Daqin, the completion of the establishment of the prefecture and county system indicates that the grassland tribal peoples will have a stable overall situation in the future.

This time, Xiao He obviously worked hard.

At the same time, he single-handedly led the establishment of prefectures and counties in the four provinces, which also proved his super ability in internal affairs to the civil and military officials in the court.

You know, when the imperial court abolished the Nine Ministers and reorganized eight ministries and two courts (the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Etiquette, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the State Council, and the Supervisory Yuan), Li Yang pushed Xiao He as an educator. The Minister of the Ministry is actually quite discussed by the officials in the court.

Because Xiao He was originally just a small county magistrate in Pei County. After he joined Li Yang, he was a man of no merit, but he was directly promoted by Li Yang. From the very beginning, he joined the Development and Reform Department and participated in state affairs.Then the imperial court was restructured, and Li Yang recommended him as a minister to take charge of one.This really made everyone unacceptable. Countless people questioned Li Yang's cronyism behind his back, and at the same time questioned Xiao He's ability.

You know, there is a difference between Xiao He and Han Xin. Although Han Xin is also Li Yang's confidant, at least he has made great contributions to quelling the chaos. With 500 troops, he quelled the chaos in the south. Whether it is a civil servant or a general, almost no one has any objections.

Regarding this point, Xiao He actually knew it himself.

It is precisely because of this that Xiao He has always been grateful to Li Yang, and at the same time he is waiting for the opportunity to prove his ability.

And this time the establishment of the county system of the Xiongnu, Donghu, Fuyu, and Sushen was an opportunity for Li Yang to prove his ability, so Xiao He naturally worked hard to complete it.

On the day when Xiao He returned to the court, Li Yang and Fu Su greeted each other at the city gate of Xianyang, which moved Xiao He extremely.

"My lord, see Your Highness."

"Your Majesty, pay homage to Lord Zhen!"

Xiao He bowed deeply to Fu Su and Li Yang.

Fusu also made a bow, and said: "Xiao Shangshu has worked hard for Daqin for half a year this time. It can be said that he has worked hard and worked hard."

When Xiao He heard this, he was moved and bowed again: "As a minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, he is concerned with the affairs of the state, how dare he say bitterness."

Fu Su smiled: "Xiao Shangshu, you don't have to be polite."

At this time, Li Yang also said: "Xiao He, you have indeed contributed a lot this time. The establishment of prefectures and counties in the four provinces can be completed within a few months. It is already very difficult. Let's go, hurry to the city, Walk and talk."

Li Yang never doubted Xiao He's ability.After all, he was originally the founding hero and prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty, and his ability in internal affairs was unparalleled.During the Chu-Han War, he stayed in Guanzhong and took charge of the internal affairs, making Guanzhong a solid rear for the Han army, continuously transporting soldiers, food and salaries to support the battle, and played an important role in Liu Bang's victory over Xiang Yu and the establishment of the Han Dynasty.

Even Boss Zhou of the later generations said: "Liu Bang has been defeated in every battle, but he has been defeated repeatedly. He relied on Xiao He as his prime minister and managed Guanzhong as his base. He needed people, money and food. Food. Xiang Yu is victorious in every battle, but he can't stand a single defeat; one defeat is crushing, and one defeat is perish. One of the reasons is that there is no prime minister like Xiao He."

It can be seen from this that Xiao Heyu's ability in internal affairs is outstanding.

In terms of politics, he is also awesome, not only assisting Liu Bang to eliminate Han Xin, Yingbu and other princes and kings with different surnames.And in his later years, he also participated in the palace battle to abolish the crown prince. After Liu Bang died, he continued to assist Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty.

It can be said that a talent like Xiao He is currently in charge of the Ministry of Education, and that is only temporary. In the future, Li Yang will definitely recommend him to the State Council and become the Minister of State.

"How about the situation in Mongolia, Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang?"

The three of them were driving in the same car, Li Yang asked with a smile.

Xiao He quickly replied: "The prefecture and county systems in the four provinces of Mongolia, Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang have basically been completed, and the pasture land has also been divided into counties, townships, and pavilions. The policy of equal land distribution for herdsmen has been implemented. Down to the prefectures and counties, the construction of cities has begun one after another, and the overall situation in Mongolia, Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang is basically stable."

"good very good!"

Li Yang and Fusu were very happy to hear this, and couldn't help but praise and applaud.Because Xiao He's work was even better than expected.

Li Yang asked again: "How is the implementation of compulsory education over there? Are there any difficulties?"

Compulsory education is even more important for the newly unified nomads.

Because compulsory education, in addition to cultural knowledge, also includes patriotic education, which has an unimaginable and huge effect on unifying thoughts, unifying consciousness, and national integration.

"I am from Daqin, and I love my motherland", engrave this sentence into every child's heart from an early age, engrave it into their consciousness, then in the near future, from the next generation onwards, the northern nomadic areas will be Worry no more.

Xiao He naturally understood this truth, so he replied: "Principal, don't worry, the compulsory education in Mongolia, Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang provinces has been regarded as the top priority and has been fully implemented. Almost all school-age children have entered the education system. School, accept compulsory education."

Speaking of this, Xiao He seemed to think of something, and said: "By the way, because the cattle and horses of the herdsmen in Mongolia, Liaoning and other places were expropriated for this farming, it is inevitable that these herdsmen have quite a lot of complaints."

Li Yang nodded, he had expected this.

The cattle and horses of the herders were confiscated free of charge, and then transported to the south and Guanzhong, and distributed to farmers for farming.This is a major matter related to the survival of the people of the Great Qin country, so even though Li Yang knew that it would bring complaints to the herdsmen, he still did it.

After pondering for a while, Li Yang said: "This time, the herdsmen have made a contribution, and the imperial court should give compensation when the autumn harvest comes."

"It's so good! The imperial court will compensate you with grain chestnuts, and the herdsmen will definitely be satisfied."

When Xiao He heard this, the worry in his heart disappeared immediately.After all, Mongolia, Liaoning and other places have just been unified, and anything that will have a negative impact on overall stability is worth worrying about.

…………

After Xiao He returned to the court, Li Yang immediately recommended to Fusu that Xiao He be concurrently the internal historian of Xianyang.

Xianyang is the seat of the country's capital. There is no county guard, but it is under the direct control of the imperial court, and its chief is the internal historian.

Internal history, the same rank as Jiuqing, can participate in the government and be a first-class official.

The reason why Li Yang wanted to do this and make Xiao He concurrently serve as the internal history of Xianyang was because Li Yang decided to leave Xianyang and travel south.

Now in Xianyang, the first emperor is not here, and he, the dean of the State Council, has left, so the stability of the overall situation in Xianyang has become the top priority.

There is Li Si in internal affairs, and Zhou Bo's Lantian camp outside the city, and the only thing missing is the control of Xianyang City.Therefore, this internal history of Xianyang must be a reliable person.

Regarding the tour to the south, first, it is to inspect the farming work in various places, especially the growth of the new crops brought back by Shaohao; second, it is to go to the shipyards along the southern coast to guide the development of sea-going ships, because the development of sea-going ships, imminent.

It is generally believed in the international community in later generations that China was a typical land country in ancient times and had no maritime power.Some people even believe that China's ancient maritime power could only represent the peak of China's 5000-year history during Zheng He's voyages to the West.

Although the Chinese are angry, in our country, no large shipyards have indeed been found.

In fact, such a statement is very wrong.

Because as early as BC, Daqin's maritime strength can be said to have been at the leading level in the world.

First of all, during the Warring States Period, Chu State had shipping, and Qin State took over the shipbuilding industry after the unification of Qin State, and this is how Ying Zheng in the history books patrols the sea.The specific route of Yingzheng's fifth eastward tour was to start from Jiangsu, cross the Yangtze River after passing through Suzhou and Nanjing, and then go north along the coastline, heading towards Langye.In addition to Xu Fu's eastward journey to Japan, all these testify to Daqin's nautical strength, and it is the strength of ocean sailing.

The reason why China's ancient maritime strength has not been recorded too much is actually caused by the short lifespan of the Qin Dynasty.

Because in the state of Qin, it can be said that it is a dynasty that pays the most attention to manufacturing, invention, and innovation in all dynasties.

I won't mention Qin Nu, which was so powerful that it had no opponents in the world at that time.

Bronze smelting technology is also leading the world, reaching the pinnacle of bronze ware.Moreover, at the same time as the peak of bronze, it entered the application of iron.

Moreover, Daqin has a standardized industrial production model that is 2000 years ahead of the rest of the world. If Daqin's production and manufacturing capabilities are not number one in the world, it is nothing but nonsense.

The same is true for Daqin's shipbuilding industry.

In fact, in 1974, with the discovery of a peerless monument, China proved to the world China's ancient maritime strength. In 1974, when the People's Liberation Army was excavating an air-raid shelter at the Zhongshan Fourth Road Cultural Courtyard in Guangzhou, a shipbuilding site was unearthed.

After more than three months of research, archaeological experts finally determined that this is a shipyard built during the Qin Shihuang period.And in the ruins of this shipyard, it is also determined that this shipyard can manufacture a giant sea ship with a diameter of 8 meters and a length of 30 meters.This discovery also proves from the side that in ancient my country, it was a maritime power during the Qin Dynasty, which is beyond doubt.
