To tell the truth, most of the cabinet members of Xiao He, except for a few systematic exchanges, are local elites. Those people are definitely the smartest and wisest people on the planet.

Ye Tong does not interfere in the affairs of the cabinet, it is all presided over by Xiao He and others, and it is very good to be able to achieve such a huge result. Especially in recent years, there has been a great change in ideological concepts. The imperial civilization has developed from the original agricultural civilization to the level of navigation civilization and industrial civilization, which exceeded Ye Tong's expectations.

"How many people does the empire have now?"

Ye Tong is only about 50 million, but I really don't know how many there are.

Speaking of population, Xiao He said with a smile on his face: "My lord, so far, the total population of the empire is 66 million, of which 57 million are of the Yan and Huang ethnic groups, more than 3.5 million are of other ethnic groups (including captive Hun women), and 5.5 million are students of civilized schools.

The reason why the population grew so fast was mainly due to a series of measures introduced by the empire to encourage childbearing. However, there is a serious shortage of labor, and young children and the elderly account for more than eighty percent.

The main engineering projects of the empire rely on the students of civilized schools, otherwise it is really impossible to carry out so many large projects. ”

In order to increase the population, the cabinet has formulated a series of policies, and indeed a lot of efforts have been spent, and billions of dollars are spent every year on subsidies for newborn children alone.

In the Qin Empire, only worry about life, not about raising. From the day a child is born, the government has various subsidy funds, milk powder, clothing, etc., until he or she enters elementary school.

The Qin Empire currently implements 9 years of compulsory education, five years of primary school, and free supplementary middle school, high school or technical school. There were no secondary schools and junior colleges in the empire, and all of them were classified as technical schools.

University enrollment is very small, accounting for only 20% of the total number of students, and the remaining 80% are basically going to vocational and technical schools to train excellent skilled workers.

University enrollment does not pass the unified examination, but the major schools recruit independently, and recruit students according to their hobbies and usual grades, with the purpose of discovering elite students with expertise.

Although the university is not free, in fact. As long as it is a Chinese nation, once you enter the university, it is almost the same as free, students have subsidies, if you don't pursue good food, there is no problem, and accommodation and books are also free.

Relatively speaking, it is easy to get into college, but it is very difficult to get out, and you definitely have to lose a layer of skin. It is difficult to get credits for each major, and if you don't study hard, you won't be able to get a graduation application. Once the four years are not passed, they have to pay their own expenses, and the school will no longer provide subsidies.

Ye Tong felt that there was no need to have so many universities, and what the empire lacked most was skilled workers. Even if all students are enrolled in universities, there will not be many people who will actually become talents, and it will only be a waste of state expenditure.

You don't have to enter a university to become an elite, as long as you have a specialty in a technical school or work, you can also get opportunities. The empire has a lot of incentives.

The education of the empire was on the right track, and Cao Shen contributed to this. After being named and criticized by Ye Tong, Cao Shen held back his anger, and in the past few years, he has been ruthless in education and has done a good job.

Ye Tong didn't have to worry about the development of other industries and commerce, under the overall planning of Dingjun Mountain, the empire's industry and commerce developed well, and it was already on the fast track.

After listening to the introduction of the cabinet Xiao He and others, what excited Ye Tong the most was that the economic development at the county level and county level had been greatly restored.

As a result of the promotion of a large number of township chiefs from the township to serve as county officials, county officials, and staff members of various departments, the work style at the county and county levels has been greatly improved.

After the replacement of a large number of chief officials, the advantages of the originally backward county and county economy were immediately manifested. After all, there is no shortage of talents at the county and county levels, as long as the policy is right and someone guides them, once it starts, the development will be very rapid.

Due to the backward development of the county and county levels for several years, the current economic development of the county and county levels is still not comparable with that of the township and village levels.

"Lao Cheng, what kind of big case has the Imperial History Pavilion investigated?"

When it comes to the Imperial Pavilion, no one is not afraid, whether it is an official or a business owner. He is definitely the one who only talks about the law and does not talk about human feelings.

Not to mention anything else, it is useless for Prime Minister Xiao He to come forward to intercede. In Cheng Yu's eyes, there is only the law and nothing else. Once a crime is committed, no matter what status it is, it must be done in accordance with the law.

It is precisely because of Cheng Yu's example that the staff of the Imperial History Pavilion are all selfless people. It's a group of guys who don't get in oil and salt, even if Ye Tong comes forward, it is estimated that it will be useless. Of course, Ye Tong doesn't have to come forward to engage in favoritism.

Cheng Yu didn't have any smile on his face, and replied solemnly: "General, there have been no big cases in the Yushi Pavilion in recent years, and only a few cases of food safety and drug safety have been investigated, and they have all been punished according to law. ”

The Qin Empire attached great importance to the safety of food and medicine, and its punishment of criminals was even more severe. Other crimes do not involve family members, but in all cases of food and medicine, not only all property is confiscated, but also responsibility must be investigated, and the main person in charge is basically beheaded, and his family members are also implicated.

Once the quality problems of food and medicine are involved, not only will they be severely punished, but they will also erect a monument of shame in the place where their family is located. After serving their sentences, their families are never allowed to work in the food and drug industry again.

Food and drug supervision is extremely strict, and many additives cannot be used, and once found, all arrests and prosecutions are carried out from top to bottom.

For example, the simplest ham sausage stipulates that the meat must reach more than 90%, and the proportion of flour cannot exceed 10%, otherwise it will be illegal and will be severely punished.

In the Qin Empire, it was unrealistic to get rich by manufacturing counterfeit and shoddy products. Once discovered, it will be hit harshly.

Some people say that property can be hidden, hehe! It is simply impossible, the banks of the Qin Empire are real-name system, and they do not engage in unnamed deposits and remittances.

Banks also do not dare to make unnamed deposits, and if they find that there is only one way for them to fail, they will be held accountable. Banks also dare not mess around, so they can only do things according to the rules.

In general, the laws of the Qin Empire were very harsh. However, as long as you don't break the law, life is secure. All laws are based on the interests of the people and the state.

To put it mildly, the laws of the Qin Empire were to protect the vulnerable and protect the general public. Not only is there a minimum wage protection law, but there is also a limit to working more than eight hours a day, and if you do that, you have to pay more than five times your salary.

If the company defaults on the employee's salary, once there is an appeal, the boss of the enterprise will face a very high fine, and the boss will also be given an ultimatum, face a decline in his creditworthiness, and even be blacklisted.

Once you are blacklisted, your credibility will be reduced, and it will be difficult to do anything in the future. Once the bank finds that its creditworthiness has deteriorated, it will immediately stop lending, and the tax department will always pay attention to the taxes that should be paid.

Ye Tong said: "The empire's economy is getting better and better, it is basically on the right track, the growth rate is also good, and the living standards of the people have made a qualitative leap." However, after they have been well fed, well housed, and well clothed, the common people are very lacking in spiritual civilization.

At present, the empire lacks entertainment activities, and it is not enough to have simple teahouses, taverns, brothels, etc., but it is also necessary to increase the development of literary and artistic groups in various situations, and it is also necessary to allow cultural people to create more excellent works.

Now we only meet the material needs of the people, not the spiritual ones. This must change. ”

The material foundation satisfies the demands of the people, and the aspect of spiritual civilization must be taken into account. Over the years, it's not that Ye Tong doesn't pay attention to cultural construction, but in fact, he has no energy. In addition, the people can't even fill in the form with their stomachs, and what spiritual civilization are they pursuing.

Only on the basis of good food, shelter and clothing will the people have spiritual needs. Of course, the Qin Empire would not form state-based literary and artistic groups, but would only allow private individuals to set up them, and everything was market-oriented.

As mentioned earlier, the Qin Empire did not have state-owned enterprises, only private enterprises. If the Cabinet is a referee, it can no longer act as a player, which would be unfair.

Seeing that the bigwigs were no longer talking, Zhang Liang, chief of staff of the military cabinet, said: "My lord, there is something very troublesome. During the conquest, due to geographical and environmental reasons, it was impossible for the navy and the southern expeditionary army to wipe out all the natives in the islands and jungles.

After the Qin army conquered, there were still a very small number of natives hiding in the jungle, and the Qin army would be very laborious and cost-effective if they wanted to clean it up. However, if they are not cleaned up, the people of the empire will not be able to enter those islands and regions for development. ”

It is indeed a troublesome matter, the land that the Qin army has conquered and taken over cannot be discarded, and the people must be allowed to develop and utilize it. Only when the people make good use of the land resources that have been taken over and conquered, can the empire's conquest be cost-effective.

The conquest of the Qin Empire belonged to the national conquest, and the personal conquest of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were two different concepts. The conquest of the Qin Empire was to benefit all the people of the empire and to pursue the greatest interests. And the expedition of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, to put it bluntly, for the sake of face, the people could not get anything.

What Zhang Liang said is not only that it is not cost-effective for the Qin army to come forward to eliminate the bandits hiding in the jungle, but also an important point, the Qin army is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, a savior, and some dirty work must not be done by the Qin army.

Hehe!

"What Zifang said is good, whether it is Han Xin's Southern Expeditionary Army, or Zhou Yu and Lin Xiao's navy, after taking over the islands and land, there are indeed a few bandits hiding in the jungle, and they have to find a way to solve it, and the Qin army will definitely not be able to do such a thing."

After hearing this, the cabinet members despised Zhang Liang one after another, what is the high cost, won't the Qin army send a small number of troops to clean it up? To put it bluntly, Qin Jun was unwilling to do dirty work, for fear of damaging his reputation.

The cabinet members understood that Qin Jun was unwilling to do dirty work, and that matter would definitely fall on the cabinet again. Because the cabinet has the police in its hands.

Xiao He shook his head and said: "My lord, the police in the hands of the cabinet can't do those dirty jobs, especially the natives and bandits hiding in the jungle, and the ability of the police is not enough to complete that kind of task." ”

Ye Tong knew in his heart that the police really couldn't do that job, and they had to find a way again. The police are also not allowed to do dirty work, because the police are there to maintain law and order, and it is not appropriate to do that work.

Dizziness!

The military is reluctant to do it, and the cabinet is not willing to do it either.

Hehe!

"General Ben understands that the military and police will definitely not be able to do that job, but in order to let the people go to those areas and islands to develop as soon as possible, we must clear out the bandits hiding in the jungle, otherwise, what are we going to do with those islands and regions?"
