Chapter 51 The Great Qin Empire 1 The Three Kingdoms of Qin and Han Dynasties begins

From 230 BC to 221 BC

Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms one after another

Unified the world

King Yingzheng of Qin issued an order

now

The Seven Kingdoms have become one

If I were still called King Qin

Then it would be no different from the kings of the Six Kingdoms

You ministers should give me a good thought

Give me a new name

The name should be loud

Sounds imposing

This commands

The ministers began to discuss

Since ancient times

It's better than the Three Emperors and Five Emperors

It depends on what our master means

I want to surpass everything in the past and present

Just put it all together

Tell the emperor to forget it

Ying Zheng is very satisfied with this title

He also added a little bit of his own thoughts to it

I am the first emperor of all time

Let's call it the First Emperor

In order that future generations will not worry about the title

I've thought of them all, too

My future emperor

It's called the second, third, fourth, and so on

It has been passed down to thousands of generations

The name has been chosen

It's time to get down to business

In the past, the Qin State lived a small life

There are so many people in the land

It's also easy to manage

Now it's different

A thunderclap on the ground

Steep but rich

It's a rich man in the blink of an eye

The territory is bigger

The population is larger

The issues to be considered are also complex

So how to govern this new world

Qin Shi Huang understood very well

It still takes the wisdom of everyone

Some courtiers were more conventional

The early years of King Wu of Zhou

In order to govern the world

Many princes were divided

Help him manage

We feel

Emperor, you should divide your princes into different places

Help you govern the world

At this time

Lees, whom we mentioned earlier, is back on stage

He was vehemently opposed to the partition system

The comments are as follows

In that year, King Wu of Zhou was widely enthroned as princes

But later, the contradictions between the princes became more and more serious

In the end, they bit each other

The world is in a mess

I suggest that Your Majesty follow the habits of the previous Qin State

The county system is implemented throughout the country

As for those meritorious ministers and the children of the royal family

Just give more material rewards

In fact, Qin Shi Huang had already understood in his heart

The reason why the world was in a mess before

It was the feudal princes who made trouble

Now I'm in charge

Such a tragedy must not be allowed to happen again

This time

Lees proposed the county system

It was immediately recognized by Qin Shi Huang

He asked Lees to assist him

Divide the world according to the county system

That's it

The world is divided into thirty-six counties

The subordinate unit of the county is the county

Each county has three direct administrators

The county warden and the county supervisor

These three people

Appointed directly by the central government

thereinto

The county warden is the boss

Manage everything in the county in one place

The lieutenant is the number one military officer

Command the army of the county

Responsible for the security of the county

The county magistrate is the referee

Responsible for overseeing the big and small affairs in the county

That's it

Next

The positions of the central departments should also be lined up

Qin Shi Huang prescribed

Set up two prime ministers on the left and right

It's all my super assistants

Help me govern the country

Set up a royal doctor

Responsibility

One is an important document that governs the country

another

It is responsible for the work of the supervision officials

Set up a lieutenant

Responsible for the construction of the country's army

The security of the country is your responsibility

Set up a court lieutenant

to take charge of justice

Enact laws

Trials of cases

Well

There is also another history of the governance of Su

You are responsible for the country's taxes and expenditures

Anyway, it's about collecting money and spending it

I have given you the official position

but your appointments and transfers

It's up to my emperor to decide

You are all on a wage basis

Take it from the state

Of course

yourself

Just eat your own

This official cannot be passed on to his children

These things above

It's all invisible and intangible

But they are all systems that have a huge impact on the national society

It was the various feudal dynasties that followed

their political system

It is also based on the Qin system

The invisible came out

But Qin Shi Huang still needs to get something that can be seen

At that time, Dayu collected the world's bronzes

Jiuding was made

As a result, Jiuding has become a symbol of dignity and status

I'm going to have one too

Qin Shi Huang ordered

Collect the weapons of the original six nations for me

(Most of these weapons are copper.)

Put all your weapons back in the furnace

Twelve large Kirito were cast

The rest were cast into a number of bronze bells

I'm not like Dayu

I am afraid that someone will steal and hide the treasure

You take these bronze men and bells

Erected on both sides in front of Xianyang Palace

That's majestic

That's it

Qin Shi Huang played a majestic role

Second, to a certain extent, it prevented the rebellion of the subjects of the original six countries

Kill two birds with one stone

Majestic

Qin Shi Huang is majestic

But he is not the only one who is majestic

And one more person

It's Lis

Li Si was already the prime minister at this time

Previously in order to unify the Six Nations

He gave the King of Qin a lot of tricks at that time

Now he's going to do something openly

We said it earlier

Qin Shi Huang at the suggestion of Li Si

There is no continuation of the sub-seal system

Instead, the county system was used to divide the world

We're going to do it for the rest of the day

Let's talk about it again

Several other super contributions from Lees

Warring States period

Because of the difference in geographical location

Cultural differences

The script is different from country to country

The same word

General in Zhao country

Get the state of Qin

There may be no one who knows it

Now everyone is eating in one pot

You may have to read the same book in the future

This becomes a big problem

Li Si suggested to Qin Shi Huang

It is necessary to unify the language throughout the country

Qin Shi Huang gladly accepted this suggestion

An order was given

From now on

It is forbidden to use the script of the former vassal states

All use Qin seal as the unified font

Then he ordered Lees

Improve and popularize the work of Qin Seal

You've got it covered

Lees after receiving the order

Hurried up to make new fonts

This is the small seal

After that

Li Si took charge of the pen again

Write seven chapters of "Cangjie Chapter".

As a study textbook

For the world to copy and learn

Xiao Seal condensed Li Si's hard work

But it wasn't long before he discovered that there was another type of font popular among the people

This font is more convenient to write

Li Si rearranged it

As an official text

This is Lishu

After unifying the text

Lees kept up the good work

Write to Qin Shi Huang

Uniform weights and measures are required

The reason is simple

Warring States period

The norms vary from country to country

The specification names vary in length, weight, and even size

Now the multiples have become one

Everyone inevitably has to deal with each other more

A unified normative scale

Yes, it is a must

Qin Shi Huang agreed to Li Si's suggestion

It is also left to Li Si to handle it at full discretion

The new norm is out

The length is measured in inches

Use the decimal system

The volume capacity is measured in the liter bucket

The decimal system is also used

The weight is measured in baht and two catties of junshi

Twenty-four baht is one tael

Sixteen taels is a catty

Thirty pounds is a pound

Four jun is one stone

The standard of measurement is set

Li Si also established a complete system

Ask everyone to carry it out

Subsequently, the relevant laws were enacted

The system is protected

Unified text

Unified weights and measures

These are all major events that will affect generations to come

That's all it takes

If you think Lees will rest

Then you are wrong

Lees did a few similar things

Of course

The reason is still the different systems of each country before the unification of the world

Warring States period

Commerce is already relatively developed

With business

It is inevitable that there must be a currency

However, the currencies of the vassal states are not the same

Not only the color and style are different

Even the weight is very different

After the reunification of the country

All these have brought great trouble to the harmonious development of the country

In order not to have any more trouble in the future

Lees decided

Trouble yourself again

Old program

First play to Qin Shi Huang

After clarifying the stakes

Authorized

thereupon

The old currency was abolished throughout the country

It's up to Master Lees to design a new currency for you

The new currency provided for gold as the upper currency

In Eridium

Each eridium weighs twenty-four taels

Take the copper half a tael as the lower coin

10,000 copper coins are converted into one eridium gold

The copper half tael is the copper coin with the outer circle and the inner square

Because the design is reasonable and beautiful

Easy to carry and use

Copper coins were used until the end of the Qing Dynasty

Li Si is full of energy

Let's go next

Let's talk about another of his big moves

New questions

Or the old reason

The original vassal states had their own set of habits

Their vehicles vary in width and width

corresponding

The width of the road is also different

It would have been nice if it had been put in the past

At the very least, it can cause some trouble for invading enemy vehicles

Not now

Unification

Unification

Unified standards

will have a convenient life

Li Si suggested to Qin Shi Huang

Up and down the country

Vehicles should be of the same width

corresponding

Roads of the same width will also be built

Qin Shi Huang understood

This is for the good of the country

And the order was given

Then it was left to Li Si to handle it with full authority

thereupon

Up and down the country

The width standard for vehicles has been reformulated

What grade of car are you

I don't care

But

The distance between the two wheels

It has to be six feet

meanwhile

From the capital Xianyang to various important places in the country

All roads will be built

The width of the pavement of the main road

Fifty steps (one step and six feet)

After the hard work of Qin Shi Huang and Li Si

This new country put together

It's finally a bit of a unified look

The original Six Kingdoms and the Qin State were united

But the land of China is too vast

Outside the original Seven Kingdoms

There is still a vast land waiting for Qin Shi Huang to take over

This includes the vast southern strip
