Needles can be heard in the council hall. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even Ying Teng, who is relatively closest to Hu Hai, doesn't know what to say at this time.

If he said that he knew, then if the emperor asked something later, such as how did he know about it and not report it, how should he answer? If you don't know, it seems that you are suspected of bullying the king.

"How many of the 100,000 Huns are strong?"

Regarding the rumors, Hu Hai was too lazy to say anything more. After all, if you say too much, you will lose, not to mention how Li Si died, Feng Quji, Meng Tian, Ying Teng and others are among the insiders.

It doesn't matter what the reason is, the important thing is that Li Si was indeed forced to death by Hu Hai. That's enough.

As an emperor, Hu Hai's words and deeds may be related to the life and death of many people, and they will be carefully figured out by the courtiers.

Some words are point-to-point. Hu Hai believed that if he asked this sentence, the important ministers in this hall would definitely be able to understand the meaning of it, after all, it was absolutely impossible for someone to sit in this council hall to be a straw bag.

"Back to Your Majesty, among the Huns sent to Xianyang, except for the old and weak women and children, there are more than 60,000 young and strong people."

Hu Hai took the initiative to change the topic, and the atmosphere in the council hall was suddenly relaxed.

Obviously, the ministers also knew that the emperor was only vaguely expressing his dissatisfaction, and did not mean to delve into it. However, if there are still courtiers chewing their tongues behind their backs in the future, then the consequences will have to be weighed.

The one who answered was Zhang Cang, the head of the Shangji Mansion.

Since Hu Hai set up the Shangji Mansion, the scope of functions of the Shangji Mansion began to gradually expand, and even Shangfang now produces weapons, armor, gold, silver, copper coins and even paper every day. You have to go through the registration of the Shangji Prefecture before you can leave the workshop.

The rest of the large ones, such as the newly opened acres of land, household registration statistics, and the government's grain stocks, etc., are also included in the overall planning scope of the government.

Zhang Cang can be said to be the hottest new star in the Great Qin Dynasty. From a small official. Leaping to the same level as the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries who have stood in the Great Qin Dynasty for decades, the rocket-like speed is no longer enough to describe Zhang Cang.

"Oh? Zhang Aiqing, the arithmetic book I gave you, how is Aiqing reading now? ”

Hu Hai looked at Zhang Cang, who seemed to be thinner than when he left Xianyang, and asked with a smile.

It is said to be an arithmetic classic, but in fact, it is a book compiled by Hu Hai himself, including addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, Arabic numerals, and decimal points, which is similar to the compilation of primary school mathematics in later generations, but this can already be called a godwork of earth-shattering ghosts and gods in the pre-Qin era.

"Your Majesty. This method of calculation has increased the efficiency of the calculation of the officials of the government by thousands of times, and the accuracy is even more accurate than in the past. ”

Zhang Cang heard Hu Hai ask about arithmetic, and for a moment it was like being beaten with chicken blood. The five-body prostrate on the ground shouted loudly.

Zhang Cang is actually not a real official, whether it is his foundation or his personality, he really can't be regarded as a qualified official. It is more suitable for professional research, which is actually more like those nerdy scholars who specialized in research in the later generations.

On the one hand, this is related to his own conditions, and on the other hand, it is also related to Zhang Cang's original position.

After all, Zhang Cang wasn't even a small official at the beginning. He still served under Li Si, and was recommended by Li Si to Fusu before he was able to enter the Great Qin Dynasty under the recommendation of Fusu.

However, even if Zhang Cang enters the court, he can only be regarded as a small official who does not enter the stream at all. After all, at that time, Fusu was sent to Jiuyuan by the First Emperor for more than ten years, and the First Emperor had not established a prince for a long time. Therefore, Zhang Cang is naturally not weighty enough for super middle bosses like Li Si to pay attention to.

And Zhang Cang can be said to be the first accounting master in Chinese history. If history had not changed because of Hu Hai's crossing, Zhang Cang would have become the first prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty more than 20 years later. Assist Xiao He to lead the government, and finally become the prime minister.

Therefore, when Hu Hai mentioned arithmetic, Zhang Cang was naturally full of energy. After all, people who engage in research have the same intellectual curiosity for new knowledge in their profession as an addict encountering opium.

Hu Hai is very useful to Zhang Cang's horse. Although he is also plagiarized from the knowledge of later generations, there is no way, in this era, this arithmetic came from Hu Hai's hand, which is Hu Hai's.

Feng Quji and the others didn't know what happened between Zhang Cang and the emperor. Originally, Zhang Cang, who was still stereotyped, was surprised that he had also learned to pat on the back, but at this time, anyone could see that the fanaticism on Zhang Cang's face did not seem to be a fraud at all.

Could it be that the emperor really can't accomplish anything?

Even the most difficult and difficult methods of arithmetic can teach arithmetic masters like Zhang Cang?

"Professor I give it to you, firstly, I hope that Aiqing can count the money and grain of the household registration of the acres of land in the world for me, and then I hope that Aiqing can carry forward these algorithms, and finally spread them all over my Daqin, so that everyone can learn them. Presumably, Aiqing will not live up to my expectations. This kind of algorithm, only if Aiqing learns it, it is not a pearl dust, and I am very relieved. ”

"Your Majesty! His Majesty is willing to die for His Majesty! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Is there anything new?

"I want to rebuild the unfinished Nine Plains Straight Road, what do you think Aiqing thinks?" Hu Hai changed his words and finally got down to business.

Jiuyuan straight road, through Yunyang, Shangjun to Jiuyuan, a total length of more than 1,800 miles, the first emperor originally built the purpose of strengthening the defense of the Xiongnu. The total length is more than 1,800 miles, the straight road is 50 steps wide, and the track is 6 feet wide. A tree is planted every three zhang next to the road.

This straight road of opening mountains and rivers and building bridges was not completed until the death of the first emperor. Among the laborers ordered by Hu Hai to be released at the beginning, nearly 100,000 of them were building the Jiuyuan Straight Road.

The unfinished Jiuyuan Straight Road is still passable, after all, Zheng Guo's Zhisu Neishi Mansion has already marked the straight road routes. All cavalry, foot soldiers and so on are okay, but if you deploy grain and grass on a large scale, it will obviously take a lot of time.

Now that Great Qin is unified and there are nearly 100,000 Xiongnu prisoners, Hu Hai thinks it is time to reopen the construction of the Jiuyuan Straight Road. The straight road from Xianyang to Shangjun has basically been connected, so it is very convenient to dispatch grain or something.

And in Aocang, there happens to be a large amount of grain that is about to deteriorate or is in the process of spoiling.

The important ministers of the palace glanced at each other.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Ying Teng took the lead in getting up and agreed.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

All the important ministers stood up in unison and answered.

"So very good, the Jiuyuan Straight Road is related to the Jiuyuan, Shangjun, Pingyi and other counties, this time it was rebuilt, and the craftsmen of the Su Nei Shifu were ordered to demolish the middle nine-foot emperor's imperial road. The Jiuyuan Straight Road is related to the well-being of all the people in the world, and I don't go to the Jiuyuan every day, and all the people in the world can pass! ”

The difference between the Jiuyuan Straight Road and the rest of the Chi Road is that in the middle of the straight road is the Emperor's Imperial Road, which is marked with obvious signs, and ordinary people are not allowed to walk. If you set foot on the emperor's royal road, you will be killed.

This was well implemented during the time of the First Emperor, but Hu Hai thought that it was no longer applicable.

After all, sooner or later, the countries of the Western Regions west of Longxi and Jiuyuan will be incorporated into the territory of Great Qin, and the Jiuyuan Straight Road at that time is not only for military purposes, but also a key avenue connecting Great Qin and the territory of the Western Regions, and it is also a commercial route.

If there is a nine-foot-long imperial road in the middle, it will inevitably affect normal business activities.

"Your Ministers obey!"

"The construction of the Jiuyuan Straight Road, with the Shangji Mansion and the Zhisu Inner History Mansion, will be coordinated and started as soon as possible!"

Hu Hai's last sentence can be regarded as the end of today's small court.

……

The ministers left one after another, until the bell rang three times, and it was already the time of the child, and the day passed like this, and Hu Hai was still in the council hall flipping through the mountains of county newspapers. He has not been in Xianyang for nearly eight months, and he has accumulated so many reports that need to be handled by Hu Hai.

The Prime Minister's Mansion, the Shangji Mansion, the Zongzheng Mansion, and the Imperial History Mansion jointly handled political affairs, and Hu Hai did not give them the right to read the newspapers in various places. The first emperor was extremely domineering in his control of power, and everything in the world was always done by himself.

At this time, if Hu Hai was left to himself, he felt a little unbearable.

Obviously, the reform of the bureaucratic system is already necessary. From today's big court meeting, to the small court meeting, and then to the mountain of recitals today. All told Hu Hai that the reform of the official system was imminent.

The current Three Princes and Nine Secretaries of Great Qin, after Hu Hai's constant touch, have many functions that overlap with each other. When Hu Hai did not issue the issue of conscription of grain and grass and winter cotton clothes in Xianyang, there was even a problem that the two major prefectures of Zhisu Neishi Mansion and Shangji Mansion did not know who was the core and who would handle it.

In the end, after a delay of several days, the problem was still poked to Hu Hai, and Hu Hai ordered the Su Nei Shi Mansion to recruit and the Shangji Mansion to coordinate the dispatch and transportation, so that the batch of cotton clothes that supported the people of Chen County and Dang County could be successfully transported out of Xianyang.

The reform of the official system is different from Hu Hai's direct establishment of institutions such as the National Land Government and the Shangji Mansion in addition to the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, but to take back power from the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, and then redistribute it, among which there will inevitably be the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries who will lose power. It will inevitably touch the position of the protΓ©gΓ© of the nobles who have entered the various prefectures and yas.

The reform of the official system involves not two families, but basically the core interests of all the nobles of the entire Great Qin.

If one is not done well, Hu Hai will lose all the games. It's a big deal to lose and start over, at least all the armies of Great Qin are now under the control of Hu Hai, and Hu Hai is not worried about being overthrown on the throne, after all, most of the five major legions from the big camp are ordinary people without any background.

All their net worth interests are related to Hu Hai alone.

However, if the first failure is achieved, and a second reform of the bureaucratic system is carried out in a short period of time, I am afraid that the opposition will be even more intense. Therefore, Hu Hai knew that he had to succeed at the first time, otherwise he could only wait until he was enough to suppress all the nobles of the Great Qin family and have the prestige equal to or exceed that of the First Emperor.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night. Ask Lord Wang in the matter, where will he stay in the palace? ”

Long Jiao came behind Hu Hai and asked in a low voice.
