The internal history of Neishi County is Lao Zongzheng Yingteng. ""The fastest update, full text hand-typed

In addition to Neishi County, the remaining more than 40 counties were all served by important ministers of the court, such as the Three Princes and Nine Qings, the nobles of the Great Qin family, and the county guards who were directly appointed because they had made good contributions to the Great Qin when they unified the world.

These three forces constitute the most basic middle-level structure of the world ruled by Great Qin today.

It is true that Great Qin unified the world, but if the world cannot be controlled in this hand, it is better to only focus on this foundation. At least these counties are firmly in the hands of Great Qin, and they will not be grass on the wall.

Originally, in the turbulent anti-Qin wave, which of those county guards did not see the wrong momentum, and immediately changed their banners to join the rebels. Holding Daqin's Yulu, but in the end he became the backbone of the anti-Qin force, which cannot but be said to be a kind of sadness. Baidu search "" to see the latest chapters

In addition to the county guard, there is also the county lieutenant, and the county supervisor is also the supervisor of the imperial history. These three are somewhat similar to the separation of powers in later generations, and in the Great Qin official system, these three positions are not high or low, and they are considered equal.

The county guard, the county lieutenant, and the county supervisor are all silver seals and blue ribbons, and the rank is 2,000 stones. One stone of the Qin system is equal to four jun, one jun is equal to thirty catties, and one jin is equal to sixteen taels, which is about 0.256 kilograms in later generations, and one stone is equal to 30.72 kilograms in later generations.

Two thousand stones a year, if according to the measurement of Great Qin. is 240,000 catties of grain, and even if the 240,000 catties of grain are converted into the measurement of later generations, there are 61,440 kilograms, that is, 122,880 catties.

This is more than 120,000 catties of grain. Even in later generations, in terms of the state purchase price, it was nearly 150,000 to 200,000 yuan. And that's just the price of food for generations to come. You must know that in the pre-Qin era, grain can be said to be the most hard-term currency at that time, so the value of these 240,000 catties of grain in the pre-Qin era far exceeded that of later generations.

The civil servants of Daqin. Enjoy a veritable high salary.

Although this also confirms the wealth of Great Qin on the other hand, it is a group of moths that cannot be raised. Of course, it is not absolute, and there must be more than 40 county guards who are concerned about the Great Qin County Guard. But how many can there be?

Outside the county guard, the county lieutenant is in charge of the county garrison, in charge of public security, and detects thieves. The county lieutenant is also directly under the imperial court and fights against the county guard. The official system of the Great Qin county has a subordinate official, and the inland counties have one Cheng and the large counties have two Cheng. The border counties are placed with one lieutenant every 100 miles, two each of the lieutenants and two lieutenants, and the border guards are in charge; The disposal of the pass is the captain of the pass. All of them are subordinate to the county governor.

The county lieutenant, the soldiers under his command are the county soldiers in the military sequence of the Great Qin, that is, the local army.

However, the imperial court had clear regulations on how many county soldiers should be in each county and how many local armies should exist, and the imperial court had clear regulations on the need for defense because of the need for defense. Most of them are elite border armies with an establishment, and the county officials in the inland counties really have no law to follow.

In other words, Great Qin did not have a clear rule on how many county guards should be in each county. There is also no law to follow regarding the equipment and armament, training, etc. of the county guards. Although every county, every county has an arsenal.

In fact, most of these arsenals were used to provide weapons and armor to the rebels in the original history. If there were no rebels, it is estimated that they would have been rotting in the arsenal.

There is no law to follow, which has created a situation where Great Qin is heavy on the outside and light on the inside. The border fortress town has the most elite border troops of Daqin, such as the Jiuyuan Army, the Longxi Army, and the Southern Navy.

However, the inland counties are extremely empty. There was no explicit order from the imperial court, and the local county guards and county lieutenants were embarrassed and filled their own pockets, so they naturally did not exert great efforts to recruit soldiers, not to mention that in the later period of the reign of the first emperor, in addition to large-scale conscription and labor to build the Great Wall, build the Chi Road, build the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum, and build the Afang Palace, it took most of the energy to find the ethereal immortality.

And the large-scale conscription of the common people to serve in labor, naturally there are not many young people in the inland counties who can serve as county soldiers. That's one of the reasons.

For various reasons, in the original history, with the rise of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the anti-Qin beacon fire quickly spread to all parts of the Central Plains, and the inland counties did not have any troops to suppress these rebellious remnants of the Six Kingdoms, so that the original spark finally became the fire that destroyed the Great Qin.

If the local county officials in Daqin can effectively suppress the rebellion, and there is no need to wait for Zhang Han to release hundreds of thousands of prisoners in Lishan to act as a counter-rebellion army, Daqin only needs to transfer a few elites of the Jiuyuan border army to extinguish the anti-Qin flames that are burning more and more in one fell swoop, and Daqin may not perish at all.

Of course, history has no ifs.

In addition to the county guard and county lieutenant, there is also an important position, that is, the county supervisor, that is, the history of the supervisor. Supervisor of the Imperial History, subordinate to the Imperial History, is responsible for supervising the county guard and other officials.

The Three Princes and Nine Secretaries of the Great Qin, in addition to the left and right prime ministers, are the golden seal purple ribbon and the rank ten thousand stones, and the rest of the government secretaries, including the Imperial Historian, Taiwei, Zongzheng, etc., are all silver seals and blue ribbons, and the rank is two thousand stones (explained at the end of the chapter).

Doctor Yushi, in charge of supervising hundreds of officials, is the deputy prime minister. There are two subordinate officials of the imperial historian, one is the imperial historian, who is the deputy of the doctor; One is the imperial history. Among them, because of the commander of the imperial history (accepting the affairs of the minister, the impeachment is illegal, and sometimes he is also ordered to carry out the case) and the imperial history of the county supervisors, he can order the imperial history to correct hundreds of officials according to the rules, and the power is particularly heavy.

The county supervisor, that is, the supervisor of the imperial history, which itself should supervise the position of the county guard, the county lieutenant and the county officials, has also gone with the flow for more than ten years, and has gone further and further from the original intention of the first emperor.

There is nothing wrong with the system itself. It's just the method and the person who is doing it that is wrong. At least, in Hu Hai's view, the measures initiated by the First Emperor to supervise the imperial history and supervise the officials of a county are still very avant-garde and applicable.

In addition to the county guard, county lieutenant, and county supervisor, there is also a very important official position in the Daqin county system, that is, the county officer.

The county is the deputy official of the county guard, assisting the county guard to manage the county government, with a copper seal and a black ribbon and a rank of 600 stones. When the county warden is absent or unable to serve as a director, the county officer shall act as the county warden. The subordinate officials have a history of death, a master book, a priest's order, etc. The counties of Biansai have a long history, manage the military and political affairs of soldiers and horses, and have the same rank as the counties.

The position of county commander can be said to be the most important official position in a county except for the county guard, county lieutenant and county supervisor. However, this very important position in a county has nothing to do with the Great Qin Imperial Court.

Because the county is the deputy governor of the county guard, he is directly appointed by the county guard. On the other hand, among the county lieutenants, only the county lieutenants will set up county commanders to assist the county lieutenants in commanding the county officials.

Thus, a contradiction arises. The county commander is appointed by the county keeper and belongs to the deputy governor of the county guard, and the county guard can directly act as the county guard if he is not in the county guard, on the other hand, the county commander is directly subordinate to the county lieutenant.

The intricate relationship led to the problem of excessive concentration of power in the Great Qin official system at the middle but particularly important level of county officials. The county guard is no longer just managing the livelihood of a county, but also meddling in the military. If you have a good relationship with the eunuch history, then the county guard will be the real emperor of this county.

As for the county level, which is at the bottom of the Great Qin bureaucracy, according to the size of the population, there are two official positions: the county commander and the county magistrate. These two official positions, together with the two positions of county chief and county lieutenant, are the lowest and last official positions in the Great Qin official system.

The county order is printed with black ribbons, with a rank of 1,000 stones to 600 stones, and the county magistrate is sealed with a yellow ribbon and a rank of 600 stones to 500 stones. The prefectural magistrate and the prefectural magistrate are both the prefectural magistrates of the county, and they will be appointed directly by the emperor according to the law.

According to the Qin system, the annual income of the county magistrate and the county magistrate is between 120,000 jin and 60,000 jin of grain. The two official positions of county captain and county lieutenant, with a copper seal and yellow ribbon, rank of 400 stones, etc., are like 50,000 catties of grain. There is no doubt that it is still a high salary.

And many county officials under the county magistrate and the county magistrate, the county seat and the county lieutenant, such as Gong Cao, Ling Shi, Prison Peng, Wen Wuwu, Stable, Pavilion Chief, Three Elders, etc., are all appointed by the county magistrate or the county magistrate himself.

Fortunately, although the county officials are appointed by the county guards, they will report to the imperial court, and then compile them into the official official sequence of the imperial court, and issue them after being approved by the imperial court; The county officials, on the other hand, are mostly deducted directly from the taxes by the county order as the income of these people. Although there are not many county officials, there are hundreds of county governors in Daqin, and each county has a few dozen officials and dozens of officials, all of which rely on the people to provide for them.

There is no definite number. There is also no specific number on the official classics of Great Qin.

But there is no doubt that the consequence of this is to add a heavy sum to the already complicated taxes of the people. No wonder the people are miserable.

It took three days of hard work for Hu Hai to have a general understanding of the official system of Great Qin. But the more he learned, the more urgent Hu Hai felt about the reform of the bureaucratic system.

Because he thought of a problem, that is, he issued an edict to exempt the people from paying taxes for three years, which does not mean that the people do not have to pay taxes for these three years, but only that they do not have to pay taxes to the imperial court. In other words, every county still collects taxes from the people.

And whether the following county orders or county magistrates will take the opportunity to levy taxes on the people, the answer is to think with your toes and know what it will be.

Hu Hai had already learned the difficulties faced by the reform of the bureaucratic system yesterday, and all the bigwigs of the imperial court unanimously wept bitterly against it, and the results would be self-evident if they were forcibly implemented. After all, Hu Hai still has to rely on these people to carry it out, and in the end, I am afraid that the reform of the official system will be unrecognizable, and it will also make Daqin inaccessible and fall into chaos.

So where do you start?

Hu Hai closed the last scroll of bamboo slips in his hand and fell into deep thought!

ps: (The two thousand stones in this rank, relative to the rank of two thousand stones, are one-third higher than the county guard, county lieutenant, and county supervisor, that is, 27,800 stones, more than 300,000 catties of grain in Qin, and about 180,000 catties in later generations.) )
