Time seemed to have passed slowly, Dong Yi finally finished speaking, and then the entire Qutai Palace was silent. The ministers bowed their heads, waiting for Zhao Zheng to be furious, but they waited for a long time and did not see any sound on the throne. As the right prime minister, Wang Juan couldn't help but look up, only to see Zhao Zheng clenching his fists on the low table, gritting his teeth one after another.

Zhao Zheng is over 30 years old and has been on the throne for 19 years, he no longer has the naivety of the past, and he seems to be a rational and pragmatic king. Before the crowning, Lu Buwei took care of government affairs, and after the crowning, there was Xiong Qi's crutch, and after Xiong Qi's death, there was no one else.

Xiangbang and prime minister are two different concepts, Xiangbang is entrusted to the state, and the power of the prime minister is greater than the power of the monarch in the jurisdiction; And the prime minister is only the deputy of the prime minister, although he still performs the power of the prime minister, after all, he is not entrusted with the country, and he cannot compete with the monarchy.

After Lü Buwei, there was no more Xiangbang in the Qin State, and after Xiong Qi, there was no half of the Prime Minister's state, and Wang Juan was left with a clear name. After Wang Juan came up was Li Si, and Li Si persuaded the emperor to completely surrender to the monarchy, and the emperor said whatever he wanted.

Extended to the Western Han Dynasty, Xiao He was in charge of the rear, and the power of the prime minister rose again, Liu Bang was very worried about this but could not change it, so he appointed Zhang Cang as the prime minister, and was stationed in the prime minister's mansion (Han avoided, said Xiangguo) to supervise and audit the finances of the prime minister's government. Ji Xiang is the official position of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhang Cang is personally loyal to Liu Bang, and the supervision of changing someone to be the Ji Xiang will immediately come to naught, so Liu Bang appointed Zhang Cang as the imperial historian. The Imperial Historian, Xiangbang and Taiwei belong to the same three dukes, and have the right to supervise the hundred officials, so that the relationship between checks and balances can be determined.

However, there are still flaws in this arrangement. What is Dr. Goshi? The Imperial Historian is the left and right historians who follow Xiong Jing's ass every day, and they record their words and deeds about the same, and if they want to check the accounts of the Xiangbang Mansion, they will faint. Zhang Cang is because he has been practicing arithmetic for a long time, so he can serve as a counter. If another person is appointed as the imperial doctor and the minister of the state government, he cannot be supervised.

What to do? Since you can't supervise it, then you will be paid from the bottom of the kettle. During the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the Su internal officials were changed to the Great Agricultural Order, and then the Great Agricultural Order was used as the minor internal officials. The governor is equal to the finance minister of later generations, and is in charge of the country's finances, that is, the country's money bag, referred to as Ouchi, as opposed to the Shaonai of Shaofu. Because under the Qin system, the prime minister is not easy to supervise, so take away the money bag of the prime minister's house, which is equivalent to the 94 tax reform in later generations. There is no money, and the prime minister's government cannot engage in real estate and land sales, so everything is subject to the monarchy's power.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he no longer played this trick, the first hero was no longer appointed as Xiangbang, and the second Xiangbang was newly established under the Si Zhi, which was not only the imperial history and the prime minister to supervise the finances, but directly supervised the actions of the Xiang State, and the rank was higher than that of the Prime Minister, only under the Xiang State. Later, even the Prime Minister's Mansion was gone, and Shangshu replaced it. What is Shangshu? Shangshu is just a few scribes who manage the documents in the Mingtang of Qutai Palace, and they are the officials of the Shaofu.

Institutionally, the monarchy has been expanding until the relative power disappears completely, but some kings have been able to transcend the system and have sole power, as was the case with Zhao Zheng. In the past two years, with the Xiong Qitong Jing case, Zhao Zheng has made a drastic move, and the Chu forces have been cleaned up by him, and they can no longer turn over in the political arena of the Qin State.

Then he found a problem: after the management of the Chu system was cleaned up, the officials who filled it in were not necessarily better than the officials of the Chu system. The officials of the Chu family have a constraint outside of the king, and the constraint from Xiong Qi's personal constraint - not just anyone can get into the eyes of the relatives of the Chu family, and it is not unreasonable for the Marquis to look down on Fan Sui back then.

According to Qin law, the officials are guilty, and the recommended people are also guilty. The Chu family wants to be evergreen in the political arena of the Qin State, and although the recommended officials are not all Bai Qi and Wang Qian, they cannot be Fan Sui and Zheng Anping. The officials of the Chu system went down, and the newly appointed officials without factions had no restraint, and they dared to take any money and be greedy for any money.

For Lü Buwei, Zhao Zheng has a way; For Chu's relatives, Zhao Zheng also has a way. But a greedy official like a locust, Zhao Zheng had no way to do it. The state of Qin was supported by countless officials, including the right prime minister Wang Xuan, and Zhao Zheng could change it if he wanted to, but he couldn't give up the entire bureaucratic organization. If the bureaucratic organization is gone, the Qin state will also be gone.

He was still very happy that the Kwantung Four Kingdoms had handed over the right to mint money to the Ziqian family, but Dong Yi, the official of the Zhisu Dynasty, pointed out what was about to happen: the corrupt officials of the Qin State would rush to buy the bonds issued by the Ziqian family, resulting in a shortage of gold and silver in the Qin State.

It has become a common practice for officials to be greedy for money, and Zhao Zheng can still exercise a little restraint in the war. The officials shipped the embezzled gold and silver money out of the Qin State to buy the bonds of the enemy countries, and Zhao Zheng could not restrain this kind of collaborating with the enemy.

"My lord, the minister thinks that this is unfounded." After dispelling a few thoughts, Shaofu Qing Lang Sheng still spoke. Dong Yi is a big inside, he is a young insider. Da Nei Shao Nei, in charge of the entire Qin State's money, grain, and materials.

"Since Shaofuqing thinks that this is groundless, the purchase of horses will be paid by Shaofu?" There is a reason why Dong Yi picked things out. Qin Banliang is not hard currency, gold and silver are hard currency. The year before last, all the gold in Da Nei Shao was robbed, the Han Shui Bashu that produced gold was lost, and the price of silk was suppressed by the Chu State, and the hard currency was becoming less and less in the Qin State.

The war intensified, and more and more horses were lost and damaged in battle, so he wanted to try to exchange the gold and silver in the hands of the officials, and buy more war horses this autumn, but he didn't want the Chu State to move faster, and he would issue new bonds of the four countries next month, and the gold and silver in the hands of the officials would be sucked away by the bonds of the four countries.

"Minister, if you allow the gold and silver to remain in the Kanto, Great Qin will have no money to buy horses." Dong Yi repeated his previous admonition again.

"Ran......" Zhao Zheng took a deep breath, trying his best to calm his emotions, and then asked, "What can I do about it?" ”

"All customs should strictly inspect the caravans, chariots and horses, but when they see gold and silver, they will all be exchanged for the following coins." Dong Yi said, "The minister asks the king again, and the nobles and officials are not allowed to accumulate gold and silver in their families, and those who exceed the hardware are guilty." ”

"This is not feasible, my lord." When Wang Juan heard that his subordinates had such an idea, he immediately spoke out against it.

"King, this ......" government affairs are not Wei Yi's concerns, but gold and silver are related to horses, and the Qin army needs hundreds of thousands of horses. Such a large number of horses cannot be bred in a short time, and can only be purchased from the Rong and Hu people. "Jing people's boats cruised in the big river, and the private salt and iron were transported into the county from the big river, and the corn and cloth of the county were transported out of the Qin country by boat from the big river. If the king's decree strictly prohibits the storage of gold and silver, it will tend to be like gold and silver. ”

"The minister thought that the king was now edicting and persuading him, saying that gold and silver are the most important things in the country, and the nobles and officials should be exchanged for the next currency." The king is not angry, and the ministers dare to speak out gradually before they are angry, Li Si said.

Li Si suggested that he give an edict to persuade him, and Zhao Zheng blinked his eyes within a few words, and the ministers in the hall also laughed in his heart. Gold is gold, the next currency is copper, or miscellaneous copper, who will use gold to exchange for miscellaneous copper? The four countries of Kanto are enemy countries, but enemy countries talk about credit, and it is better to turn gold and silver into bonds than to pile them at home. In case one day he is imprisoned, piling up at home not only cheapens others, but also becomes another piece of criminal evidence.

After Li Si finished speaking, the right prime minister Wang Juan said again: "For today's plan, you can order all customs to strictly inspect the caravan and horses, and strictly prohibit the gold and silver from being transported out of Daqin." Besides, after the boat master has been rebuilt for a long time, he can't drive the Jing people out of the river? ”

"I can't." Wei Yi made no secret of it, and directly replied that he couldn't.

"Why not?" Wang Juan asked. "Jing people's boats are cruising in the big river, for example, Jing people's spears pierced into my Great Qin's body, and the country's blood does not stop, is the national captain ashamed?"

"The river is more than ten miles wide, and the boat runs on it as if it were in the East China Sea. Jingren's war boat can be collided or cut, and our boat division is invincible. Wei Yi has said this countless times.

"Lord Bai Di once said that the Jingren war boat originated from the sea in the middle of the earth, so can't you invite a boat-builder in the sea in the middle of the earth?" Wang Juan still doesn't give up.

"Boat building is a secret that is not passed on by all countries, and Great Xia does not need boat battles, so there is no boat builder, although there are boat builders in Persia, the sea in the earth and other countries, but thousands of miles away, their people do not want to enter Qin." Wei Yi replied again.

"Alas!" Even Master Bai Di had no choice, so Wang Juan had no choice but to sigh.

"Minister, minister or ......" Wei Yi didn't speak, and behind Wei Yi, Zhang Cang plucked up the courage to speak.

"What?" The ministers had no choice, Zhang Cang opened his mouth at this time, obviously he had something to say.

"Tell the king, the minister may have a foolish plan." Zhang Cang's heart was beating hard, and he also wanted to be appreciated by the king by relying on a word like his senior brother Li Si, worshipping as a chief, worshipping as a secretary, and worshipping as a court lieutenant. Whether it succeeds or not, it depends on this time.
