Bai Hui gave the order to find a salt mine.

Ying Jiang immediately got up: "No! ”

King Qin asked, "Are you so sure, there is salt there?" ”

Bai Hui smiled: "I said yes, then there is." But where it is, I only know that it is probably in Rongyi, and the last time Brother Wang mentioned the military expenses in Shu, it is better to return Rongyi to Dahewei, and pay 30% of the annual production to Xianyang, and 10% to Shu. ”

"Yes." As long as the King of Qin is not allowed to take money from the treasury, this matter can be discussed.

Sichuan Jingyan has a history of 2,000 years, but anyone who has a little love for history, this is basic common sense, but even if Bai Hui is allowed to stand on the salt well, he can't tell the specific location, only that it is probably in Rongyi.

In fact, Zigong's well salt was only discovered in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

But Bai Hui was short of salt, and relying on the little salt he bought from various countries, he was not enough for the soldiers to train intensively.

At present, the per capita daily salt consumption is less than three grams according to the standards of later generations, and even fewer in remote areas, that is, Bai Hui robbed Linzi of Qi and occupied Luoyi, and the average daily salt used by Bai Hui's heavy troops in training did not reach six grams.

In later generations, the per capita salt consumption in the northern region was almost 10 grams per day, although the WHO recommended 6 to 8 grams.

It can be said that at present, the Qin State belongs to a strict salt shortage area.

After serving the food, Bai Hui said again: "Brother Wang, mention a trivial matter, I just thought about whether it is appropriate, let's discuss this with the Queen Mother." ”

"You say." What King Qin said to Bai Hui was more interesting to him than the dishes in front of him.

Bai Hui said: "Can you change the three public and nine secretaries to the three public and three divisions and six departments." ”

"What?" King Qin's chopsticks fell on the case, Bai Hui, you are chatting, you said such a big thing so easily. However, King Qin quickly picked up the chopsticks: "Okay, you say." ”

"The three dukes are still the same, and the three dukes of our Qin State are Xiangguo, Taiwei, and the imperial envoy. Then add three divisions, the three divisions are the salt and iron division, the law department, and the financial department. ”

"Stop, you say salt and iron?" King Qin came interested.

"Of course, Brother Wang, you think, salt and iron are the first priority of our Great Qin, without salt and iron, what do we use to fight, this thing must not be handed over to the merchants to toss, it must be controlled in the royal power."

King Qin nodded violently: "This matter is good, salt and iron seem to be the business, so what is the finance?" ”

"Two words, money, food!"

"Good!" King Qin thinks it's good, and this thing sounds good. "You can say six more." King Qin didn't ask the Law Department, thinking that he was in charge of the world's criminal law, and was only responsible to King Qin, which sounded like he was satisfied.

Bai Hui continued: "The head of the six departments is the Ministry of Rites, which is in charge of etiquette, sacrifices, rituals and religions in the world, educating barbarians, receiving envoys from various countries, etc., and can be divided into small departments or small divisions. ”

"Yes!"

"Then there is the household department, which is in charge of household registration, agriculture, six livestock, horses, and so on. Next is the Ministry of Industry, repairing rivers, palaces, making equipment and so on. As for the ministry, all the officials in charge of the Qin State are assessed, trained, and promoted. Next is the Criminal Department, the difference between the Criminal Department and the Law Department is that the Law Department is in charge of the trial, and the Criminal Department is in charge of arrest. ”

"Sounds good, it's only five."

"The last one is the Ministry of War, I think my brother Bai Qi can be the first biggest officer of the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War is in charge of the war."

King Qin thought carefully about the official establishment of the current Qin State, and it seemed that it was not enough, so he asked at the moment: "This is not enough, is there anything else?" ”

"Zongzheng Mansion, in charge of the affairs of the clan. Weiwei Mansion, the capital city and the palace guards. Or separate Ma Zheng and set up a servant mansion. Then separate diplomacy from matters such as Jiupu, and set up a foreign affairs office. Plus take care of the food and drink in the palace and what house. ”

After listening to Bai Hui's speech, King Qin slapped a few cases hard: "It's good, I'm optimistic about this matter, let's go back to Xianyang, let's go together." ”

"Done."

Bai Hui is confident that this is a higher level of political system. It is more systematic than the three princes and nine kings.

"One last article, twelve important ministers, plus three top generals of the Qin State, will form the Great Council of the Qin State, and major matters can be discussed behind closed doors. You can help Brother Wang come up with an idea. ”

King Qin smiled: "This, you can have it." ”

King Qin understood that Bai Hui was helping him gain some power, and although he didn't have the confidence to support the entire Great Qin, he also wanted to participate in government affairs. At least the Empress Dowager Xuan can be monopolized and divided a little bit.

At the same time, the important ministers were all elites, from whom he could learn the art of managing the country.

Bai Hui asked again: "Brother Wang, what to do with Yingyun." ”

"Spare him his life, after all, he is also our brother." King Qin is indeed a soft-hearted person, otherwise how could there be Lin Xiangru and others who want to die or live in front of King Qin, what kind of things like crashing into pillars and destroying buildings. If it was a few decades later, if it was replaced by Qin Wangzheng, this kid would definitely be scraped alive.

The other people here, from Ying Jiang to Yu Shao Envoy, to Tao Hui, they wished that they didn't even have ears, and they dared to listen to these things.

But on the contrary, King Qin and Bai Hui just chatted and decided such a big major state event of the Qin State.

After three rounds of drinking, King Qin asked Bai Hui: "This first salt and iron division, do you want it?" ”

"Yes." Bai Hui was not polite at all.

"It's good, think about it, there is no suitable person, and I don't understand this matter. By the way, give a cart of high-quality jade materials to your brother, or make good jade, and add some people to the palace, and you must always have some rewards for your brother. ”

Bai Hui smiled: "The Queen Mother is strict." ”

"Not really, the Queen Mother thinks that she should be frugal now, and you can help me tell the Queen Mother about the jade material."

"Okay, I'm going to prepare three cars, and I'll pull the rest away after Brother Wang picks the rest."

"Very good."

King Qin and Bai Hui said it easily, but it was not easy for those who listened to it.

Young Envoy Yu never expected that this wicked Bai Hui would have such a high status in the Qin State, and there seemed to be nothing that could not be interfered in big and small matters.

Even if King Qin added some jade materials to the palace, he had to discuss with Bai Hui.

At this time, King Qin asked again: "Next, what work do you have to do for your brother?" ”

At these words, my jaw dropped in shock.

Bai Hui didn't feel any difference, and replied: "Brother Wang, there is a big job, if I talk well, some leaders of Jiupu hope that Brother Wang will give them a marquis, and then personally sign some contracts to show their attention." ”

"This is fine, it's easy."

"The rest of the time, there are still many good scenery in Shudi, Brother Wang can go to the mountains and rivers, and go to the Jiangyan construction site by the way, the draft of the speech has been ordered to be written, and Brother Wang only needs to motivate morale."

King Qin happily agreed, he liked this kind of easy and brainless work.

After finishing the meal, Bai Hui immediately ordered to leave, preparing to pack up and leave for the south.
