Chapter 260: A Defeat
"Provincial system?"
Everyone had a question mark on their faces, and they were all curious.
Ying Zheng said: "What is the provincial system?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the provincial system is a system of local administrative divisions."
When Li Yang said this, he knew that everyone must not understand, so he directly explained: "My Great Qin has a vast territory, too many counties and counties, and they are not subordinate to each other, resulting in the decentralization of local power, and it is difficult for the imperial court to effectively supervise the counties and counties in various places. Therefore, the minister suggested that Daqin be divided into several provinces, which means that a provincial administrative body should be added to the county to govern the counties within the province, and from now on, each place will be divided into provinces and governed. ”
"Are you saying that the establishment of large local administrative regions, the establishment of provincial administrative organs, the concentration of power in the counties and counties in the provinces, and the control of local military, political, and financial powers?" Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and thought about it.
Li Yang nodded: "That's right." The establishment of the provincial system can politically consolidate the unity of the country, centralize the power of the imperial court, and more effectively supervise the counties. However, in order to avoid excessive provincial power, military power can be exempted from provincial control. In this way, the separation of the military and the government of Daqin, the division of local government affairs into provinces and the division of local military power, the division of camps and defense, can be described as both. ”
Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, and then his eyes lit up, obviously he immediately saw the absolute advantage of the provincial system, and couldn't help but praise: "Wonderful, this strategy is wonderful!" ”
Li Si and the others also had their eyes shining, and praised repeatedly: "The provincial system of the town monarch is indeed a good policy. Since the Northern Expedition, the territory of Great Qin has more than doubled, and when the Xiongnu, Donghu, Fuyu, and Sushen set up counties, there are more than hundreds of counties in Great Qin. There are too many counties, the territory is too large, and in some local counties, the imperial court is also beyond the reach of the whip, and the imperial court decrees are also a little tired, and the provincial system can just cure this drawback. ”
Speaking of this, Li Si hurriedly said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with the provincial system of the Zhenguo monarch!" ”
Cao Shen, Zhang Cang, and officials from the National Development and Reform Agency also came out one after another: "The advantages of the provincial system are obvious, and the ministers seconded the proposal!" ”
Ying Zheng nodded with great satisfaction, looked at Li Yang with appreciation, and was very happy in his heart, this guy is really a talent. So he immediately said: "Quasi-play, the town monarch will lead the Development and Reform Agency, and implement the provincial system on the same day, and the local provinces will be governed!" ”
Seeing that the emperor had approved, Li Yang was also very happy.
However, he was not surprised at all by this result, because the provincial system is a major development of the county system since the Qin Dynasty, since the implementation of the provincial system in the Yuan Dynasty, it has a far-reaching impact on the political system of the Yuan, Ming, Qing and even later generations, and the province has become the local administrative body of our country, which has been retained to this day. If Qin Shi Huang 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, the concentration of power, and the unification of local military, political, and financial powers, in fact, there is a hidden danger, that is, the provincial feudal officials have too much power, and the military power is in hand, and it is easy to rebel against autonomy.
Li Yang, on the other hand, controlled the scope of power of the province administratively, which in the words of later generations was the separation of military and government. In the province, only the government is in charge, and the military region is in charge of military power.
In this way, the military and political system of Great Qin is actually similar to that of China in later generations.
Because the army of Great Qin is mainly the four major army corps, to put it bluntly, it is the four major military regions.
These four major legions, one is the brave and warlike Guanzhong Army, which is mainly responsible for the defense of Gyeonggi, that is, the Lantian Battalion. The second is the Lishan Army, the third is the Lingnan Army of Zhao Tuo stationed in the Baiyue Lingnan region, and the Great Wall Army led by Wang Li in the north.
These four major army corps are the four major military regions of Great Qin, garrisoning the Quartet, plus the administrative division of Great Qin and governing the province, it can be said that it is absolutely safe, which is also a major reason why Ying Zhenghui approved the implementation of the provincial system without any worries.
After approving the provincial system, Li Yang continued: "Your Majesty, if the local government sets up a province, the decrees of the imperial court can be transmitted to the local government. In this way, the above-mentioned matter of the formation of inspectors and supervision of the new policy by the people can be under the control of the province, and the province will control the direction, progress and suspension of the new policy supervised by the local people. At the same time, the county soldiers in each locality are controlled by the province and are responsible for maintaining local law and order and ensuring local order. In this way, Bai Shangshu's worries can be resolved. ”
Bai Zheng and the others were stupid.
They never dreamed that things could turn out like this......
It's obviously a dead end, but in an instant, the situation is different.
What's more, Li Yang really came up with a clever plan to resolve all this.
It is also to let the people supervise the new policy and launch a great storm from the bottom up, this kind of bottom-up struggle, because it is a prairie fire, so once it breaks out, unless the army is used, no force can be resisted.
Originally, this kind of bottom-up struggle, although the power is terrifying, but it is also dangerous, as long as the key points and risks are pointed out, the emperor may not dare to use it. However, what is even more desperate is that Li Yang actually came up with a provincial system, which directly solved the risk of local administrative paralysis.
Feng Quji, Bai Zheng and others, at this time, it was hard work from the heart, creating evil, what kind of evil is this? A dead end that he and others had obviously made was so easily resolved by Li Yang, and now looking at this situation, once according to Li Yang's method, the people are mobilized from the bottom up to wage a struggle against the scholars and the nouveau riche, and he and the others will definitely be defeated.
Thinking of this, Feng Qujian and the others suddenly showed a look of pain, and they couldn't wait to beat their chests.
God, is this still human? How could he even crack a dead game?
Feng Quji and the others were almost crying without tears, and they were completely stunned on the spot.
After a pause, Feng Quji still didn't want to admit defeat, and said: "Although the provincial system can make the imperial court decrees spread to the localities, according to what the Zhenguo monarch said, the province is only the administrative body of a large region, if the county and county levels are paralyzed, the province will still not be able to control the overall situation, and my Great Qin will still be in danger." ”
Li Yang smiled: "Feng Xiang is too worried. The 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 policy, so the county and county levels are still operating normally, but the matter of the land reform of the new policy does not need to worry about the county and county officials for the time being. More importantly, the people's supervision of the land reform of the new policy is not to kill people and set fires, and it is impossible to dare to ask the court officials for their crimes, and the right to remove officials is in the court and in the province. Feng Xiang, don't you say? ”
"This ......"
At this moment, Feng Qujian was speechless for a while, and there was no reason to continue to refute him.
Because Li Yang explained clearly enough, the people did not want to replace the county and county officials, but only to supervise and supervise the new policy.
In other words, the common people are the official officials directly appointed by the imperial court, which is equivalent to exercising the power of the imperial court to supervise the local government and supervise the new policy. If your local government has not completed or done a good job of restoring the old land system of the Qin State, they will directly supervise it.
The power to dismiss local county and county officials lies with the province or the central government, and as long as the provincial and central government do not dismiss you for the time being, you will be on a normal errand.
It's just that the common people are not subject to the restrictions of the county government when it comes to the distribution of the land they annex to the nobles and local tyrants.
Feng Qu stood in place in a daze, with his mouth open, wanting to say something, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't say a word, and could only watch Li Yang grin at the corner of his mouth with a smug smile.
At this moment, Feng Qujian almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood. His whole body was in a slight trance, and he seemed to be a little unsteady on his feet, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.
At this time, his whole body became a little lost.
Because he knew that he had been defeated, completely defeated......
To be honest, this result was difficult for him to accept. Because even when he was in the early dynasty today, he never thought that he would lose, and even he was very convinced that even if Li Yang was an immortal this time, it would be impossible to turn things around.
But......
The result turned out to be so unexpected, so unexpected, and shocking!
After a long time, Feng Qujian took a deep breath, and then exhaled the turbid qi in his chest, as if accepting the fact of this fiasco.
I have done my best, and as a result, I can only be convinced. He had to admit that he was not Li Yang's opponent at all.
Feng Qu smiled bitterly, but in the blink of an eye, his whole person looked much older, as if he had become an old man in the twilight......
