Siheyuan: I decide the fate of the world with my medical skills

Repairing roads outdoors in the winter is obviously inefficient and can easily lead to colds. Perhaps we can consider transferring these people directly to the border counties.

Recently, Meng Tian reported to the court that a salt lake had been discovered in Shangjun, and that they had begun organizing military forces to collect minerals in the surrounding area.

This was actually an additional task given to me by Meng Tian when he left office.

Recalling the parade that year, I took a bus to Dingbian Salt Lake and even visited the abandoned earthen house ruins of the 359th Brigade.

However, I did notice some serious hair loss during the subsequent note-taking process... (Laughter)

But what is important is that, in stark contrast to the Great Salt Lake in Qinghai Province, the maps of the Qin Empire at that time were relatively rough, and I could only roughly mark out a city on the map based on my general impression, whose area might be larger than several provincial capitals.

Meng Tian's document stated that this salt lake was discovered accidentally by a group of soldiers exploring for minerals while chasing a white rhino. This shows the amazing value of unexpected discoveries!

Therefore, the captured Qiang warriors were registered in the official labor list and sent to the salt lake to work.

Although the Qin Dynasty still followed the slave system at this time, it was different: we called them "Li Chen". Although they lacked freedom, they could still retain their individual property ownership and social rights and responsibilities.

Moreover, according to the tenth level of military merit reward, if a "slave official" cuts off the enemy's head during combat, he can also be promoted and rewarded, thus being promoted to a free status. Changhe, a famous general in history, defeated the enemy army that crossed into Shanhaiguan with a slave corps. Another benefit of sending prisoners of war to work in the salt pond is to prevent them from escaping. Imagine the vast saline wasteland. For individuals trying to leave, it is no different from being in a cage, and escape is almost impossible. In addition, the existence of the Jiuyuan Army, the nearest garrison, is enough to deter all Qiang people who are plotting against the law.

After thinking about it, I added to the bamboo slips and ordered Li Xin to conduct a detailed screening among the Qiang captives, select the great elders and clan leaders of the Qiang tribe, and then send the remaining people to the salt field to form a more orderly working pattern.

It is difficult for the "chief culprit" to survive in a chaotic situation. After eliminating the leader, the chaotic Qiang group will be less likely to spontaneously connect.

After being sent to the salt fields, they carefully selected "traitors" or "rebels" from among these people, gave them additional benefits, and guided them to assist the military in managing the rest of the captive groups.

This stimulated the conflict and turned the dispute between Qiang people and people from the Central Plains into that between Qiang slaves and Qiang administrators. I closed the bamboo slips, picked up a new pen, and wrote about the operation of the salt industry on another page. In actual operation, it was just the key performance appraisal system of later generations, which made the miners' salary directly related to the amount of salt harvested. This proverb sounds a bit exaggerated, "It's not a big deal to talk about time, but it's a matter of life and death to talk about results"......

Well, this method can indeed be extended to all official workshops!

In addition, government-run shops can also adopt this method. We can adjust the salaries of employees, adding a bonus system to the original stable salary base. The daily settlement system is implemented.

The higher the daily operating income, the higher the corresponding daily performance salary. This should make the small vendors in the market no longer have a stern face!

It was really too disrespectful! Fusu recalled the scene he had seen when he was strolling on the streets of Changyang before, and felt angry and amused.

My mother once said that sales clerks in state-owned enterprises had difficult expressions, but I didn’t take it seriously at the time… Fusu glanced at the gloomy sky outside and guessed that the first winter snow would soon fall.

According to the Book of Rites, in the twelfth month of winter, the emperor needs to preside over a grand and solemn Nuo ceremony to worship heaven and earth, ancestral temples, mountains, rivers and lakes.

When he saw the battle report submitted by Han Rang, he couldn't help but think that this was just like Bulbasaur finding the mysterious treasure of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse in the candy of Cheetos. It was so amazing!

It was decided to hold this year's sacrificial ceremony in Yongcheng County, the birthplace of the Qin people, which is of great significance.

In addition to the sacrificial ceremonies, he also planned a grand ceremony to present the enemy's heads. The Qiang leader was publicly executed and his head was displayed to comfort the Weiguanzhuang of Fuhan County who had died in the battle, as well as the Qin people who were martyred when the rebels invaded the border!

"Destroy their land and avenge their blood"!

Well, in order to prevent others from imitating and intimidating neighboring ethnic groups, we will invite many forces including the Xiongnu, Yuezhi, and Donghu to come and participate in this ceremony. In addition, in order to show the country's military strength across the country, we will also ask each county to send representatives to observe.

This ceremony is like the military ceremonies held by some countries in later generations. It not only boosts morale, but also demonstrates the existence of military force to countries around the world.

When some countries display their military equipment, they usually also display their superb diplomatic skills. Well, for this large-scale ceremony, a health check of the entire population is required first...

Phew, the correct term should be to arrange a meeting of the imperial kitchen. After all, it involves all aspects of preparation, large-scale events with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of participants, food preparation, accommodation safety, security work, entry order, pace and seating allocation for participants... Fusu recorded his views on bamboo slips, asked Han Rang to pass them to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and continued to review the latest battle report from Longxi.

Li Xin was given specific instructions: all war horses over five and a half feet tall (about 15 centimeters) should be transported back to the capital, Xianyang, and kept in state-owned stables. The rest of the animals were to be kept for the Longxi army.

As for the captured boys and girls… those who are young and whose values ​​are not yet established are more likely to change their minds. They are sent to the "Hidden Officials" for a few years of education and correction, and then they grow up to be qualified and law-abiding people of the Qin State.

The Qiang girl followed her previous words and distributed some of the spoils of war, giving them as concubines to soldiers who performed well on the battlefield as rewards. As for the rest, she sold them cheaply to soldiers who were willing to stay in the Huangshui area to develop and cultivate the land.

Qin Shihuang Fusu finished processing the latest military report. A palace servant at the door walked over and whispered something to Han Rang next to him.

"Your Majesty, Madam Tian Ji and Madam Zhao Ji request to see you."

"Invite them in."

Although he did not have to go to court early to work, but when he woke up every morning, in addition to the delicate fragrance in his arms, Fusu had to face the mountains of official documents and memorials.

Even while sitting in a bumpy and swaying carriage, Fusu still held the bamboo slips, trying to reach the target weight quota for the day: 120 kilograms of affairs to be handled.

Although the overall matters are not complicated, most document approvals only require a simple "approval" or signature.

However, you should at least read it carefully first to understand its contents.

As the temperature dropped, Fusu changed to riding in a horse-drawn carriage when going out. Today he would only travel in the Guanzhong area, so he only needed to bring less than two thousand armored troops as his escort.

Not far from Xianyang, the golden chariot stopped next to a wooden pole on the side of the road that was nearly ten feet high.

There is a unique monster statue on the top of the wooden pole, and the three characters "Du Youting" are engraved in seal script at the bottom of the pole.

This is the ancient architectural relic that was later called Huanzhu and Huabiao. Legend has it that in the Xia Dynasty, Huanbiao was set up at important traffic intersections for people to write suggestions and current affairs criticism; today, this object is used as a wooden marker for roadside guides.

In front of the palace gate, there are two huge white marble tablets, which are dozens of feet high, decorated with coiled dragons and mysterious black crow patterns, and at the top are two cute little beasts named "Wang Jun Chu" and "Wang Jun Gui" that look like dogs. These two pieces of leftover wood from construction were made into this miniature landscape by Fusu's order, following the principle of reuse. He stood up from the carriage, squinted his eyes and saluted the dazzling sunlight in the sky for a moment, suggesting that Xianyang's attempt to winterize again failed.

Then he stared at the monster statue on top of the column and remembered its description from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

About 300 miles to the west is the Yinshan Mountains, where there lives an animal that looks like a raccoon but has a long, snow-white beard, called a "Tengu." Its voice is as clear and melodious as crying, and it has the effect of driving away evil spirits.

Unfortunately, the book does not mention how to cook this animal. Perhaps when the Classic of Mountains and Seas was written, this strange species was already on the verge of extinction. Fusu shook his head and continued to observe along the way.

At the end of this rammed earth avenue are several rows of small houses covered with black roofs and built of mud. This is where the once famous general Bai Qi chose to commit suicide.

Although he missed the general deeply, considering that there were other urgent matters to be dealt with, he could only decide to avoid paying tribute to him for the time being.

As he walked to the left of the road, he thought to himself: Who would claim that Bai Qi was a child found in the wilderness? This is simply a mockery of all the fallacies in the world.

Bai Qi was a subordinate of the Ying clan, the son of Duke Wu of Qin, and the heir of Prince Bai Bai. Therefore, when Wei Ran recommended him to be a general, his military merit system status was the tenth level of military merit - Zuo Shuchang.

In the Qin social system of this era, for a person born in a foreign country or a rural area, if they have not made any outstanding military achievements, they may hold a high position, but they will not enjoy the glory of a high noble title.

Take Sima Cuo, the general who defeated Shu State, for example. When he was a state lieutenant, he was only a guest official of the Zuo Shuzhang, and was later promoted to the 12th rank of Zuo Geng. In contrast, Bai Qi was quickly promoted from state lieutenant to Daliangzao, and became a powerful position holder at the level of a lord.

All this is because the initial version of the military merit system only reached the level of Great Liangzao. Although Bai Qi had made outstanding contributions, such a promotion had already reached the pinnacle of the system. It was like a top student with excellent academic performance who was stopped at 100 points because of the highest score.

However, this also proves a key point: although the Qin State after Shang Yang's reform had the phenomenon that the children of the royal family were more likely to be promoted quickly, it was more obvious than the personnel of high-value units from outside. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that Wang Jian, a famous minister in the early Qin Dynasty, complained about the difficulty of being promoted to the title of Qin Lord and asked for more rewarded land while planning for the future life of his descendants.

However, this also implies the principle of balance between the worlds - it can be reflected in any system. Fusu shook his head slightly, walked in the passage formed by the array of halberd servants for thirty seconds, and then arrived at the gate of the papermaking work area.
