Chapter Twenty-Six: A Good Book Indeed
On the second day, before the Great Pilgrimage
Qin Zheng was changing into court clothes under the service of several internal officials, preparing to meet his imperial elite, but the process of changing clothes was rather slow, so that Qin Zheng always had a chance to think nonsense......
It is not clear how often the Qin Dynasty's court meeting was, when it started, and what form, and there are few records in history, far less than the record of Ying Zheng's "dreaming of sleeping at night".
Therefore, he directly changed it to the cabinet form of the later dynasty, that is, the meeting of the Revolutionary Committee, which was held in Qin Zheng's study, which just replaced the Yan Dynasty (royal court meeting).
Governing the dynasty (Chang Dynasty) twice a month, once in the middle of the month and once at the beginning of the month, the standard of the last dynasty is still according to the Lu, 600 stones can go to the court, but not enough qualifications but need him to go to the palace do not need to report the ceremony.
In terms of the functions and powers of officials, the mode of casual deliberation of other posts and even supervisory posts (mainly imperial history) was abolished, and related positions were used to deliberate.
The supervisory power of the Imperial Historian will be mainly used in administrative anti-corruption and administrative litigation proposals, which in fact clarifies the scope of supervision of the Imperial Historian.
On the other hand, many of the rights of the prime minister were precipitated into the various orders, and the orders were no longer subordinate to the prime minister and the imperial historian, but gradually formed a six-ministry system similar to that of later generations, but the departments on the Qin Zheng side were more and more professional.
At the same time, Qin Zheng is still planning to introduce the system of selecting officials by examination, of course, this is not the same as the imperial examination, but more like the selection of officials, or the selection of civil servants, to replace the status quo of grassroots selection by prestige and interpersonal relations.
At the same time, it adhered to the Qin Dynasty's excellent performance evaluation and promotion system, and sorted out the new county and township pavilion system according to the divisions found in the early Ming Dynasty.
It's just that limited by the level of education, the main target of these reforms of Qin Zheng is still the elite, after all, if you want to be an official, you must at least be able to read and write, so at least you are a military landlord.
Thinking of this, Qin Zheng frowned, now this level of education has seriously limited his reform, you must know that the interface he entered his brain yesterday, and the scientific and technological evaluation he saw was 3/4/4.
Military technology 4, which should be derived from the military application of gunpowder; Diplomatic technology is not clear, probably because of the new model of the Hedong Governor's Office? Or is it an independent Ministry of Foreign Affairs?
However, this administration is really low, is it because his cabinet reform is not good? In the game, he can still level up with points, but now he doesn't even have an idea.
"No, I have to find a few capable people to help!" Qin Zheng made up his mind.
At this time, his court clothes were finally put on, and then he walked towards the main hall, originally King Qin had to carry it when he traveled, but Qin Zheng sternly refused, he knew the consequences of not exercising, of course, he now also knew the perversion of the ancient dress......
Finally, Qin Zheng came to the main hall, and the ministers had been waiting here early. As soon as Qin Zheng entered, everyone saluted: "Meet Your Majesty, Your Majesty for ten thousand years, Great Qin for ten thousand years!" ”
Qin Zheng sat firmly on the throne, and then raised his hand and said, "No courtesy!" ”
The crowd also returned to their mats and knelt down.
Qin Zheng saw that the number of hundreds of officials had increased a lot, and he also knew that the method of recommending and electing officials for emergency had already worked, so he was really forced to do so, but fortunately, with Qin Lu in hand, he didn't dare to recommend the master without a certain achievement, and he would have to sit together in case of an accident.
In any case, this is already the most formal court meeting that Qin Zheng has passed through for more than a month, and Qin Zheng can't help but feel a little unreal.
Qin Zheng hurriedly shook his head and returned to normal: "Do you have anything important to report?" ”
After Qin Zheng asked, Zhao Gao looked at Yingyi Zilian and didn't mean to get up, then he got up and walked to the center of the hall, and saluted:
"I have received a letter from the general Wang Li, our army broke through the Liukou in a canyon in the Hui Department, and captured more than 1,600 people below the thief Li Guo, which is really a great victory!"
Qin Zheng couldn't help but laugh excitedly when he heard this: "Hahaha, great, I want to reward them, but where is General Wang Li?" ”
Zhao Gao replied: "Your Majesty, when General Wang Li wrote the letter, it was snowing heavily in the north, and he would not be able to come back for a while.
Moreover, he also mentioned that the Hui Department was seriously damaged, the food was insufficient, and their rations had to be evenly distributed to the prisoners, so I am afraid that they would not last long! ”
Qin Zheng frowned when he heard this, and as soon as he finished saying the good news, he came to trouble again, the terrain of the Loess Plateau in the north was suitable for a light cavalry raid, and it was extremely difficult for any brigade to transport grain......
Qin Zheng hurriedly asked: "Please don't stick to your position and speak freely, those who have the method will be rewarded with military merits!" ”
You must know that Great Qin is the supremacy of military merit, and now the meritorious work in the north is not small, Qin Zheng's offer is definitely not low, but everyone has nothing to do.
Finally, someone in the team of the civil official Yu Shi Dafu raised the wat board, and saw a big white fat man swaying up and standing next to Zhao Gao.
Sure enough, it was Zhang Cang, a scholar who came out, and I saw him bowing to him: "Your Majesty, the minister has an idea, although he can't change the way, but he can definitely improve the efficiency of grain transportation." ”
Qin Zheng looked at his "dumpling killer" and said in disbelief: "Aiqing, please speak." ”
"Your Majesty, when the minister was cleaning the library yesterday, he saw a book, which was also recorded on the paper that His Majesty said, and his content was really all-encompassing.
Originally, Chen just planned to skim it, but the more he read, the more addicted he became, and finally he actually read through it, as if he had been enlightened.
In the section on the art of this book, there is a tool that the minister thinks can help His Majesty. Zhang Cang danced excitedly.
Qin Zheng knew that now Zhang Cang had plunged into the library left in the early Ming Dynasty, reading all kinds of strange books, but what was the book he was talking about so powerful?
"Aiqing, don't just say it, quickly submit the book, or read it to everyone." Qin Zheng urged.
Zhang Cang sobered up from his intoxicated state and said: "Your Majesty, the scholar didn't bring it, but the minister can recite it to everyone, can you say that it is starting from the beginning or reversing it?" ”
Qin Zheng's cheeks twitched, and he hated that he couldn't go up and beat the fat man, who was present who didn't know that you were a scholar and never forgot it, do you need to show off?
"No need, just say the tool, the books will be sent to my study." Qin Zheng interrupted directly.
Zhang Cang said unwillingly: "That tool is not unusual, in fact, it has appeared in history for a long time, it is a deer cart played by young children."
Large deer carts were also assembled in various countries to transport goods, but they were still too rudimentary, and this book records that one person invented a new type of deer cart.
If it is not tight, it can be pulled by cattle and horses, and it can also be pushed by both hands, and it can even be tied with a rope to share the weight with the shoulder. ”
As soon as Qin Zheng heard it, he knew that he was talking about the uniwheel, so wasn't it Zhuge Liang who invented the uniwheel, or the wooden ox and the flowing horse?
Qin Zheng nodded: "As soon as Aiqing said, I also remembered that I heard the sages talk about a kind of wheelbarrow, a weighbridge car, which is probably this thing." ”
Zhang Cang was surprised when he saw Qin Zheng, and he was a little unwilling in his heart, but he could only secretly complain in his heart that Qin Zheng had to be said by others to remember.
However, although the two of them talked back and forth, the others had never seen a wheelbarrow or read the divine book, so they could only imagine it out of thin air and sigh to each other.
Qin Zhengyi raised his hand to interrupt everyone's exchange of ears, and commanded: "This tool is really easy to use, give Zhang Yushi credit."
After I went back to the study to see it, I would directly draw a picture of the general, and then mobilize craftsmen from all over the country to produce, and the imperial court would purchase and support the northern land. ”
"Hey!" The crowd responded one after another.
"Now that Zhang Yushi has been listed, I will announce to you that I have asked Zhang Yushi to learn and calculate the latest calendar, which will be gradually promoted in fixed-point experiments before the next court meeting.
In the future, all the people of Daqin will abide by the new calendar, produce labor, sacrifice and rest, understand? ”
At this time, Yingyi, who had always played soy sauce at the meeting, suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, do you even have to change the sacrifice?" ”
Qin Zheng suddenly understood that the only thing Ying Yi could manage as a puppet was sacrifice, and if the sacrifice also changed the rules, wouldn't he be useless?
Qin Zheng comforted at this time: "It's just to change the time, not the method, and it's just to change the national ceremony, and the general sacrifices in various places still follow the original." ”
Yingyi was skeptical after hearing this, but there was no reason to object, so she could only salute and go back.
Qin Zheng was most concerned about the encyclopedia that Zhang Cang said at this time, the level of knowledge he encountered now was insufficient, and the transition technology was counting on this encyclopedia.
So Qin Zheng immediately asked Zhang Cang: "Zhang Yushi has even learned the characters of the previous dynasty, so come and tell me about that book when you go to the next dynasty." By the way, what's the name of the book? ”
Zhang Cang saluted and said with an evocative expression: "Back to Your Majesty, this book is called "Dream Creek Pen Talk""
Qin Zheng was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and said to himself: "It's really a good hanging!" ”
