Chapter 137: Kill a Chicken and Show it to the Monkey
It will take time to prove that iron is more suitable for this era than bronze, and at the moment during this period, Yinggao really has no excuse not to follow the first emperor to learn how to deal with the affairs reported by various counties.
Although later generations are telling how brutal the first emperor was, and how much he didn't treat the common people as human beings, it was just a conclusion that was reached after many generations of later generations, and of course it can't be true.
After learning from the First Emperor for more than a month how to deal with government affairs in various places, Ying Gao couldn't help but find that if the First Emperor could really let go of his vanity, don't make a big show to build those palaces, tombs, city walls, high-speed or something, and he would really be a Ming Jun in later generations.
Take the matter of repairing the Great Wall as an example, in Yinggao's opinion, you have so many manpower and material resources, and you can directly destroy the Huns, even if you can't completely eliminate them, then you have to let them know that you can harass whoever you want, but you can't harass our Daqin, you are so hard-hearted, it won't take a few decades, and the Huns don't know where they have migrated.
But such a big project has been started for more than ten years, and if you go and say that this thing is useless, isn't it just to demolish the first emperor, and the construction of the new palace, isn't it your son's enthusiasm to supervise the construction, and if you repeat it at this time, then your character will be gone.
In addition to these, Yinggao found that the first emperor was really an emperor who must be compared, that is, what disaster had suffered in the county, the first emperor had to give instructions in person, otherwise he would send an imperial history to take a look, but any problem that could not be solved, Xianyang would take care of it.
This suddenly made Yinggao understand why the First Emperor wanted to live forever so much, there were too many things and not enough time!
And through this period of learning with the First Emperor, Yinggao himself is not nothing, at least how many counties and counties are there in Daqin, who are the officials of the counties, what is going on, he has already cleared the door, and there are already many of them on Yinggao's blacklist, once Yinggao takes power, these guys will be unlucky.
After a long time, he saw a lot of bamboo slips, and Yinggao also discovered what was the biggest problem facing the management of Daqin, the simple county system was indeed able to consolidate centralized power, but the problems they reported to the first emperor to approve were all moaning in Yinggao's opinion.
In what county, the river burst its banks, how many poultry were drowned, a thief was found in what county, and it has been taken down by the county lieutenant, several people were slightly injured, and some grain was lost in the county, please help Xianyang......
After reading these bamboo slips, Ying Gao really had the urge to kick the guy who wrote the bamboo slips a few times, and said in his heart that if it weren't for your daily good news and bad news, day after day, year after year, the first emperor would be fooled and didn't know what Great Qin was like, how could those anti-Qin forces in Chen County find the mountain?
There are also sinners like Liu Bang, how can they still allow his daughter-in-law to hang around the county? If all of these piles reached the ears of the First Emperor, would he not be able to directly turn him upside down in anger?
What is called reporting good news and not reporting bad news, isn't this especially called reporting good news and not bad news, and when the day the problem is discovered, it will needless to say that it must be a big problem.
If you can't bear it, you don't need to endure it anymore, Yinggao can't stand wasting time every day on these things like taking off his pants and farting, so one day after careful consideration, he made a suggestion to the first emperor......
Three days later, in the Xianyang market, the county order that Yinggao had brought back from Chen County was placed in a prisoner cart and displayed in Xianyang City, while an official beside him read his sins aloud.
These sins have naturally been hammered by Yinggao after many investigations during this period of time. This doesn't mention the ugly thing he did in the county temple when Yinggao was out on patrol before.
However, what was mentioned was that he not only exterminated the serious problem of bandits in Chen County, but also concealed and did not report it, and connived at the officials under his command to collude with the mountain bandits, and the people of Chen County did not tell the truth about their hardships, which caused many Guizhou capitals in Chen County to take refuge in the mountain bandits.
This pile of piles one by one, all of them were obtained by Yinggao from patrolling Chen County, and because of this, the county order of Nachen County was beheaded directly in Xianyang City after the public demonstration.
This is not the end, after this, all the county orders within the scope of Daqin, one is counted as one, and they all received a document about the crime of the county order of Nachen County, and hung it on the wall of the county temple for vigilance, and said that if there is another imperial history or a person who goes out on patrol finds out about such a thing, it is not as simple as beheading, but beheading......
Everyone knows that beheading is a hammer deal, and it will send you to the West Heaven at once, but the waist beheading is different, the whole person is cut in two, but you still have to wait for your own death.
Ying Gao knew that after such a play, he would definitely be able to scare a large number of timid county orders, but if he had already made a big mistake like Chen County, you still don't expect him to repent.
A few days after the letters were delivered, a dusty middle-aged man was sitting across from Yinggao in Yinggao's mansion.
"Childe, but do you really want to go to Chen County to serve as a county magistrate? Long Wen Chen County ......"
This middle-aged man is the county commander Xu Gong who had been subdued by Yinggao when he was in Fan Yang before, and now Fan Yang, after Dong Xi and others were taken down by Yinggao, Xu Gong has already become an indispensable figure.
But when he was comfortable with this county order, a paper order from Xianyang City tossed him to Yinggao's mansion, and as soon as he heard such news, Xu Gong's face immediately showed a rather helpless look.
"If Chen County is good at everything, what will this son let you do from afar? You don't have to fix that bitter gourd face, if you do a good job in this Chen County Order, what can you do for the county guard of the entire Chen County? ”
As soon as Duke Xu heard this, how could he have any excuses, but he had already heard that Yinggao was made a prince by the First Emperor two months ago, so this young man sitting opposite him now is the emperor of Great Qin in the future, the emperor said that you can be a county guard, then of course you can!
Let Xu Gong be the county order of Chen County, which is a routine that Yinggao has thought of a long time ago, and just before the original Chen County county order was beheaded, the First Emperor had already responded to this matter.
And just as Yinggao was gradually changing Daqin, some things also changed because of him.
