"One country, two systems?"

Qin Shi Huang stroked his beard and said, "This word is novel. ”

Heifu summed it up well, for more than 100 years, Qin has always implemented the dual-track system of counties and feudal monarchs.

Yes, Shang Yang advocated centralization, but he himself was a beneficiary of the feudal monarchy. After Shang Ying, King Qin Hui and King Zhao successively crowned Zhu Liji as Yan Jun and Wei Ran as Marquis of Sui, both of whom were great princes with actual fiefs. The fiefdoms of these princes were intertwined with counties and counties, and it was not impossible to call them "one country, two systems".

However, Qin Shi Huang was a little disgusted with this "one country, two systems", because at the beginning of his succession, Qin seemed to have a tendency of feudalism to overpower the counties:

Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei, 100,000 households in Luoyang, Henan, and ten cities in Hejian as the fiefdom, the power is overwhelming. Even Chang Yu was mixed with the Marquis of Changxin, with Shanyang City as the food town, and Hexi and Taiyuan as the sealed fields......

At that time, within the four borders of the Qin State, from the court ministers to the local officials, they all said: "What about the Chang family?" With Lu's Hu? "I didn't know that there was a King of Qin!

If it weren't for the change of the palace in Qi Nian, he exterminated the rebellion of Chang Yu in one fell swoop and exiled Lü Buwei, I am afraid that the society of the Qin State would be subverted, how could there be a chance to unify the sea?

In addition, what Heifu said sounded not much different from Prime Minister Wang Juan's proposition.

Wang Juan and others did not dare to advocate a comprehensive division like the Zhou Dynasty, but set the location of the division in Yan, Qi, and Chu, which had just been conquered. Because the three places are not only far away from the Qin State, but also have very different cultures, as for the Qin Mainland and the Three Jin Dynasty, they still maintain the counties.

So in the emperor's opinion, what Heifu said was just a rehash of the old tune, and there was nothing new, but fortunately, Heifu's next words made the emperor patient again and did not drive him out.

"The Central Plains and the hometowns of Yan and Qi, the ministers have never set foot in it, and they dare not say anything, only talking about what they have seen and heard in Chu and Yuzhang in the south of the Yangtze River."

"Hengshan, Huaibei, Huainan and other places, as far as the ministers have seen, although there are many folk villagers and scholars, the prosperity of industry and commerce is even greater than that of Guanzhong. However, the system of Lu in the county and township is not much different from Qin. In addition, there are many household registrations in these places, if the feudal princes are divided, not only will there be a lot less taxes, but after a hundred years, or as Tingwei said, it will become a big trend. Therefore, the minister thinks that where the household can be organized and the people can be gathered, it is appropriate to divide the county and county! ”

This statement is different from Wang Juan, and Qin Shi Huang is a little interested: "Go on." ”

Heifu said: "However, Yuzhang and Cangwu are different, especially the southernmost Shangjiang ...... of Yuzhang."

He confessed, and asked for a pen and ink slip from the hand of the confessor, and drew a map on it.

"Your Majesty, please see, from Xianyang to Nanjun or Jiujiang County, it takes two months to travel by land; From Jiangling or Shouchun to Nanchang, the waterway takes at least half a month; Then from Nanchang to Shangjiang, during which there are many forests and swamps, and the roads are dangerous, and it will be another month...... In this way, it is difficult to convey the annual plan, and if something happens in the local area, it can only be dealt with by itself, and it is difficult to inform the imperial court. ”

"In addition to the long distance and the inability to convey the imperial decree in time, Shangjiang and other places are also dominated by Yue people, and there is no household to rely on, nor can they collect taxes. Even if a nominal county is set up, in fact there are no people to predict and no land to govern. ”

"When I was in the army, I heard Sikong Zhanghan of Jiujiang County tell me that in the past, Han Bo received the edict of King Zhou and divided the northern land. It is said that he was dying in the northern kingdom, because his uncle, not only defended the king of Zhou against the thieves, but also led the people to live in the valley, and the acres were real, turning the originally wild border land into a city and fertile land, which may be the benefit of dividing the feudal ......"

Therefore, Heifu thought that Shangjiang, Cangwu and other places, instead of vacant counties, it was better to divide the towns of Zhugongzi. But you don't have to be crowned a king, you can be a border marquis, so that you can lead the people to migrate, rule according to customs, and slowly promote education. It can also send supervisors, lieutenants, and assistants to the border marquis' territory, which are controlled by Jiujiang County and Changsha County, so that even if there is a change in the border marquis a hundred years later, the imperial court can easily deal with it......"

After listening to this, Qin Shi Huang thought for a while: "The land of the people is the county, and the barbarian border is divided into the border marquis, this is what you call one country, two systems?" ”

"Yui!"

Unexpectedly, the emperor sneered: "Heifu, you want to use my sons as border county orders, and you have also written that Jiangnan is hot and has a disease of water Gu." The princes grew up in the north, with fine clothes and food, and suddenly entered the wilderness, I am afraid that before they arrived at the place, they have contracted the disease and died! ”

"Minister...... The minister did not take this into account, capital offense! ”

Heifu bowed his head and broke out in a cold sweat, but this is not a separation, so he gritted his teeth again and said bravely: "Every word of the minister is out of public heart, based on what he has seen and heard, I hope Your Majesty will check it!" ”

Qin Shi Huang was silent for a long time, and finally spoke again.

"The son of the master, the relatives of the flesh and blood, still can't rely on the respect of no merit and no hard work, and they have kept the weight of gold and jade...... There is some truth in what you say. ”

He seemed to be touched, but he didn't comment on Heifu's words, just waved his hand: "Go down." ”

……

Hefu then withdrew from the inner court, and was relieved only when he was back outside the chamber and breathed in the cool air of the night.

No one saw that the clothes in his armor were already wet, and they were all frightened by the emperor.

"Is it worth it for this risky and bold statement?"

Judging from the emperor's last self-talk, at least it didn't make him angry.

The system of the Qin State was originally that the clan could not belong to the nationality without merit. Qin Shi Huang had more than 20 sons, the eldest son Fusu was about to hold a crown ceremony, and the youngest son Hu Hai was also ten years old.

According to the convention, they only enjoy the name of the son, have a mansion, the next generation, and can also be called "Gongsun, Wang Sun", and in the next generation, they will be commoners.

This is also what the Confucian doctors shouted, "Your Majesty has the sea, and the children are the puppets", which is a normal thing in the Qin State, but from the perspective of Shandong, it is incredible.

The ancients said well, but how can the children of the lord of men be not good? Dignity but no merit, dedication but no work, and many heavy weapons...... If according to what Heifu said, let them be border marquis, it can be regarded as a meritorious service for the country to defend the border, although the first and second generations are more bitter, but the descendants can still enjoy wealth and prosperity.

He also didn't ask for his advice to be adopted, Qin Shi Huang was so easy to convince, then it was not Qin Shi Huang.

But Hef's purpose has been achieved.

"I have my own political opinions, not simply copying the words of Li Si and Wang Juan."

"After tonight, Your Majesty, you will deeply remember me as a person and remember my words!"

Looking at the crooked moon, Heifu showed a smile: "It can also make the emperor feel that Heifu is loyal to the country!" ”

……

"Your Majesty, those two letters have been found......

According to the custom of Qin Shi Huang, the two slips were usually sparse, and after the instructions were immediately sent to the official offices, and then sent to the counties, but some of the books were received, and he would receive them after reading, neither giving instructions nor returning them.

These unpublished notes often contain secrets, and they are also the most feared by the confessors......

Qin Shi Huang pondered Heifu's suggestion as he opened two slips.

One of them was submitted in December after the envoy Yang Hui returned from Nanchang, and he reported everything he saw and heard along the way to Qin Shi Huang, especially the dissatisfied complaints of the Nanchang soldiers and the prestige of Heifu in that expeditionary force.

The second is the book of the imperial history of Jiujiang County in February.

Shuzhong talked about the long distances and difficult roads in Nanchang, Fanyang and other places in the south of the Yangtze River, and now that Nanchang City has been built, and thousands of people have moved from Nanjun, or they can buy a new county in Jiangnan.

But at the same time, the imperial history of the superintendent in charge of supervising officials reminded the emperor of one thing, that is, the six counties of Yuzhang were all led by Heifu. At present, except for the remaining trunk road, which is under the jurisdiction of Ganyue Wu father and son, the rest of the five counties of Nanchang, Fanyang, Luling, Jiujiang and Shangjiang are all under the old department of Heifu as Ling, Wei and Cheng.

These people were all recommended by Heifu to stay in the same place as the Nanjun Township Party. If Yuzhang establishes a new county, this group of people may control the local military, political and legal power, which Qin Lu is very vigilant about.

Therefore, the superintendent Yushi proposed that the old subordinates of the black man be transferred to different counties and counties to prevent the emergence of mountaineering......

The Emperor had already read these two notes, but did not give any further instructions.

It wasn't until today that Qin Shi Huang made a decision after taking a good test for Heifu and observing his words and deeds.

"Although Heifu's words have not jumped out of the trap of dividing the feudal (kē jiù), he can offer a speech to Yuzhang and Shanggan to divide the princes as the border marquis, so he knows that he has no selfish intentions."

If you change those who have different intentions, you will definitely avoid your own "territory", but Heifu does not avoid it at all.

"This son is a person who is loyal to the country, and he is worried about the imperial history."

So Qin Shi Huang instructed on the song: "At the beginning of the Yuzhang in the south of the Yangtze River, the barbarians were uneasy, and the counties needed to be horns for each other, so the positions of the officials in the five counties did not need to be changed. ”

During the period of military control, this situation was inevitable, and the Jiujiang County Supervisor was too sensitive.

In Qin Shi Huang's plan, in the next few years, he has a bigger plan to implement in the south of Limen and Jiuzhi, and when the time comes, the soldiers of the southern expedition will be of great use, how can he cut off the city early?

Besides......

"In the past hundred years, I heard that there were rebellious border marquis and feudal monarchs in Qin, how could there have been rebellious county and county officials?"
