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
