The beginning of the Siheyuan of Wanjie, Wanjie becomes the highest

Xuantian left before Ying Zheng could react. He didn't know how to govern a country or lead troops, and there was no need for him to do it. He might as well continue to be a lazy guy and just watch. My brother Zheng is a professional.

After leaving Zhangtai Palace, Xuantian found a flat place ten miles outside Xianyang City and placed the good horse he promised to give to Ying Zheng there. He used his magical power to build a two-meter-high and half-meter-thick wall around it.

After Xuantian left, Ying Zheng checked the storage space ring given by his master. He probed with his spiritual sense and saw all kinds of things he urgently needed. There were 10 billion tons of grain, or 352.2 billion shi (one shi in the Qin Dynasty was 30.75 kilograms), enough for 2000 million people in the Qin Dynasty to eat for 200 years. There was no need to worry about food shortages.

And with so many high-yield grain varieties, farming techniques, etc., Ying Zheng could finally let go and do it boldly, so he ordered the eunuchs to hold a grand court meeting the day after tomorrow and invite all ministers and generals to participate.

As for myself, I have to sort out the court structure, powers and responsibilities, etc. These are all things I need to handle myself, and who sits in which position is also very important.

Ying Zheng was immersed in his busy work, and the ministers and generals who were notified were all shocked. The first emperor had returned from his cultivation, so his cultivation would definitely improve greatly. Wouldn't they also have the opportunity to cultivate immortality? Just thinking about it made them so excited that they couldn't sleep.

Everyone in the Qin Dynasty was preparing for the grand court meeting, hoping that their efforts would be recognized and rewarded by Ying Zheng. As a person who had read history, Ying Zheng directly asked the leader of the Black Ice Platform, Dun Ruo, to secretly deal with Zhao Gao and replace him with other eunuchs.

Time soon came to the day of the grand court meeting. All the officials and generals attending the meeting arrived early, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the First Emperor.

"The First Emperor has arrived. All the ministers bow." The eunuch welcomed all the ministers with a loud shout. They bowed quickly, and then they saw the young figure of Ying Zheng in a black dragon robe. He looked even more kingly and domineering after his return!

After the meeting, Ying Zheng and his ministers formally discussed state affairs. They reported to Ying Zheng the political events that had taken place in the past month. Although Ying Zheng did not care much about these trivial matters, he had no choice but to listen carefully!

"Okay, I've finished talking. Now it's my turn to speak. My dear ministers know that I am a disciple of an immortal, and the way I choose is the way of fortune. Therefore, my Great Qin needs to establish a fortune. When the dynasty is first established, the greater the fortune, the more benefits we, the civil and military officials and soldiers related to the fortune, will get. Therefore, we must stabilize the Great Qin and let the rule of the Great Qin penetrate into the hearts of the people of the original six countries. And we only have three years."

"In order to make the officials of the Qin Dynasty run more efficiently, I have decided to reform the official system, abolish the system of three dukes and nine ministers, and adopt the system of three provinces and nine ministries, namely the Zhongshu Province, the Menxia Province and the Shangshu Province. The Shangshu Province has nine ministries under it, namely the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Public Security."

"The main responsibility of the Secretariat is to draft and issue imperial edicts. It has one Secretary-General, two Assistant Secretaries, and several assistants. The Secretary-General is Wang Wan, and the rest are appointed by the Secretary-General."

"The Ministry of Personnel was mainly responsible for serving the emperor, advising him on various matters, and discussing state affairs with him. It was also responsible for reviewing imperial edicts, signing memorials, and had the power to seal and reject them. It had one Shizhong, Huangmen Shilang, Jieshizhong, Jianyi Dafu, Jiujilang, and Sanqi Changshi. Among them, the Shizhong of the Ministry of Personnel was Huaizhuang, and the rest were selected and appointed by the Shizhong."

"Among them, the Shangshu Province, also known as the Shangshutai, has nine ministries and 36 departments under its jurisdiction. It is the highest department in charge of the implementation of government orders, and the nine ministries and 36 departments are the executive departments. The Shangshu Province has one Shangshu Ling, two principals, and many Langguan. Their main responsibilities are to implement the government orders issued by the Zhongshu Province and supervise the success of the nine ministries in implementing the government orders. Among them, the Shangshu Ling is Li Si, and the rest of the personnel are filled by the Shangshu Ling."

"The three main persons in charge above them are all directly appointed by the emperor and are directly responsible to the emperor. The list of personnel will be submitted to me for review and I will decide on their appointments."

Ying Zheng finished talking about the affairs of the three provinces in one breath. Although he already had a rough plan in his mind, he was still very tired and thirsty after finishing it. He picked up the water cup from the imperial desk and drank it all in one gulp. Only then did he feel better. Then he talked about the affairs of the nine ministries.

"The responsibilities of the nine ministries are as follows: The Ministry of Personnel is the department in charge of the appointment, dismissal, examination, transfer and promotion of all officials in the country. The chief official is the Shangshu, and there are two deputy chief officials, called the left and right assistant ministers. Under the Langzhong, there are four departments, namely the Wenxuan Qingli Department, the Yanfeng Department, the Kaogong Department and the Jixun Department. The head of the department is the Langzhong, and the deputy head is the Yuanwailang. The subordinate officials include the Zhushi, Lingshi and Shulingshi. The Minister of Personnel is Feng Quji, and the rest of the officials are appointed by themselves."

"The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the country's territory, population, household registration, and land. The chief officer is the Minister of Revenue, and there are two assistant ministers to assist the chief officer. There are four departments under it. The chief is the doctor, and the deputy chief is the yuanwailang. The four departments are the territory department, the population department, the household registration department, and the land department. The Minister of Revenue is Yao Jia, and the rest of the staff will be filled by themselves."

"The Ministry of Rites is responsible for examining the five ceremonies of good luck, good fortune, hospitality, military affairs and bad omen, and is responsible for foreign affairs, imperial examinations and other matters. The chief official is the Minister of Rites, and there are five departments under it, namely the Department of Rites and Ceremonies, the Department of Ancestral Sacrifices, the Department of Guests and Hosts, the Department of Fine Food and the Department of Diplomacy. The Minister of Rites is Shusun Tong, and the rest of the vacancies will be filled by the Minister of Rites himself."

"The Ministry of Justice is responsible for the national criminal law and criminal law review, examines various laws and regulations, and reviews criminal cases across the country. It has four departments, namely the Materials Department in charge of criminal case materials, the Review Department responsible for reviewing cases, the Censorate responsible for inspections, and the Dali Temple responsible for major cases. The Minister of Justice is Meng Yi, and the remaining officials will be filled by themselves."

"The Ministry of War is responsible for weapons and military equipment, military registration of officers and soldiers, military orders, recruiting and training new soldiers, rewards and punishments for officers and soldiers' merits and demerits, and pensions for officers and soldiers who retire or die. The chief officer is Wei Liao, the Minister of War, and the officials who are not in the position can fill the gap themselves."

"The Ministry of Works is responsible for national projects, water conservancy, government-run factories, craftsmen, military farms, etc. The chief official is the Minister of Works. The Minister of Rites is the great Mohist master Mo Di, who inherited the art of mechanical engineering from the Mohist school of the Qin Dynasty. The rest of the staff can be filled by the Minister of Works."

"The Ministry of Finance is responsible for the national taxes and mineral resources, as well as the distribution of official salaries and rewards, state-owned commerce, and the distribution of budgets for various departments. It can be divided into the Mining Department, which is responsible for the inventory and management of national mineral resources, the Rewards Department, which is responsible for the distribution of salaries and rewards, the Commerce Department, which is responsible for the storage of tax revenues and the calculation of the budgets of various departments for the next year, and the Banking Supervision Department, which is responsible for the storage of tax revenues and the calculation of the budgets of various departments for the next year. There is one Minister of Finance, two Deputy Ministers, four Directors, eight Deputy Directors, and a number of others. The Minister of Finance is Zheng Guo, and please fill in the remaining gaps yourself."
