Chapter 3 Accumulation of Evils Through the Ages

In the upper study, Qin Yiren was kneeling on the short case and was handling official business. And the short case in front of him was piled up with bamboo slips, waiting for Qin Yiren to dispose of it.

A heavy footstep sounded, and under the command of Wei Yi, several Iron Eagle Sharps came in carrying several large bundles of bamboo slips.

Qin Yiren was big for a while, after the unification of the world, there were many affairs, and there were many people in various places, and Qin Yiren was so busy that he had no time to eat and no time to sleep.

"Put it down." Qin Yiren waved his hand.

Tieying Ruishi put down the bamboo slips and retired when he saw the ceremony.

"Come in." Wei Yu rushed to the door and ordered, only to see more than a dozen scholars come in quickly, salute Qin Yiren, and say, "I've seen your lord." ”

"You are ......" Qin Yiren looked at the dozen or so scholars, and none of them knew him.

"Your Excellency, they are well-educated people who can read many languages." Wei Yu stroked his forehead, a little headache, and said: "Among the recitals I received now, many of them were written by Zhao Wen, Qi Wen, Chu Wen, Wei Wen, Han Wen, Yan Wen, and the ministers were afraid that the monarch would not know about it, so they came to them, but the monarch had doubts, and he could ask them." ”

Qin Yiren wanted to say a few words, but he didn't know where to get up, his right hand slapped heavily on his forehead, and said, "Wei Yi, you did a good job." ”

Qin Yiren stood up and rummaged through the bamboo slips that had just been sent in, and his eyes almost fell to the ground.

As Wei Yi said, these bamboo slips come from all over the country, and the characters used are varied, such as Qiwen, Weiwen, Zhaowen, Chuwen, Hangul, Yanwen, and all of them.

"It's a big joke that there are so many words in one country!" Qin Yiren stroked his forehead. I feel a headache.

"Your Majesty. The world has just been unified. For example, there are nearly 10 ways to write the word 'horse', and there are more than 20 ways to write the word 'dare'. A scholar stepped forward and saluted Qin Yiren, quite emotional.

"What's your name?" Qin Yiren looked at this scholar, and saw that this person was of medium height, but he was very energetic.

"The minister's name is Zhou Qingchen." The man hurriedly replied. It is very glorious, and its head is held high.

Qin Yiren was the first to ask his name, and he was very proud.

"Zhou Qingchen?" Qin Yiren's eyes flashed, he looked at him, and said secretly: "Attracting people who burn books and pit Confucianism? He was infamous in later generations, but in fact he was telling the truth and was very discerning. ”

"Yes". Zhou Qingchen said busily.

"There are nearly ten ways to write the word 'horse', and there are more than 20 ways to write the word 'dare', which is appalling, and this character must be unified." Qin Yiren frowned. Deep voice.

Causing such confusion in the text, needless to say. Of course, it is the inevitable product of the different worlds and the power of the princes. In the past, I was more energetic with the princes, but I didn't think that now, the world is unified, and it is inconvenient to put these pieces written in various languages together.

This is just one of the disadvantages encountered by Qin Yiren, with the return of Wang Jian and them, Qin Yiren has encountered more and more problems, which one is not a disadvantage through the ages?

Wang Qian, Li Mu, Sima Shang, Li Si, Huang Shigong, Wang Juan, Fan Zeng, Zheng Guo, and Li Bing rushed to Xianyang one after another, and Qin Yiren called them together to discuss.

"During the time you rushed back, the government affairs here have increased more than tenfold, and with the spread of governance, this government affairs will be more." Qin Yiren stroked his forehead and chuckled: "In a day, I don't know if the affairs are like this." ”

Originally, Qin Yiren had already thought enough about the affairs of governance, and when it came time, Fang Zhi far exceeded his imagination.

"No matter how much you have, you have to hold on." Fan Sui rubbed his red eyes, very sleepy.

Fan Sui is an energetic person, for so many years in Qin, it is rare to see him tired, and now he is tired like this, which shows the heavy government affairs.

"Luckily, you're all back, so you can share some of the burden." Qin Yiren looked at Li Si and the others.

Li Si, Huang Shigong, Wang Xuan, and Fan Zengzheng are extraordinary, and with their help, I believe it will be much better.

"The next governance is the top priority, and it must not be taken lightly because it is a major matter related to the survival of the great cause of unification. For this reason, the widow specially ordered officials from all over the country to come to Xianyang to participate in the court meeting and discuss major matters. Qin Yiren raised his eyebrows and said, "However, before holding the Great Dynasty Meeting, we have to discuss it well and come up with a charter." ”

The main purpose of the Great Dynasty Meeting was to give officials in various places a unified understanding and clarify how to govern the matter. Before the Great Dynasty Meeting, Qin Yiren and the other high-level leaders had to reach a consensus and come up with a program on how to govern, otherwise, everything would be empty talk.

"The first thing to solve is, of course, the accumulation of shortcomings." Qin Yiren raised his eyebrows, he had a headache, and said: "These disadvantages are terrible, many of them are thousands of years of accumulation, and they have existed for thousands of years." You have come from all over the world, and if you have any problems, tell us about them. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister led the army eastward, first to conquer Korea, then to destroy Wei Qi, and then to destroy Chu, deep into the land of Jiangdong, footprints all over China, the deepest feeling is the inconvenience of transportation." Wang Jian stroked his forehead, was the first to speak, with a look of emotion, and said: "The inconvenience of traffic is not only the different terrain, but also the difficulty of the road, the width of which is different. From Xianyang to Linzi, you have to pass through Han and Wei, and the vehicles passing through Han can not be suitable for Wei roads, and Wei roads are not suitable for Qi roads, which are too difficult to walk, too difficult to walk. ”

China is divided, the princes are conscripted, each has its own road standards, and it will become a strange thing if it is easy to go.

"That's right, the general's words have won my heart." A chorus rang out, coming from everyone's mouths.

"The widow is also very emotional about this matter." Qin Yiren knew very well how difficult the roads of the Warring States Period were, not only the natural environment, but also man-made.

"Also, there are so many levels." Wang Juan sighed with emotion on his face, wrenched his fingers, counted them and said: "When the minister is in Handi, he will find a random direction to travel, don't go too far, just walk one hundred and eighty miles, and you will encounter three or five checkpoints. If you go thousands of miles, you will encounter as many as forty or fifty levels. ”

"Hey!" A sigh sounded, and a group of people shook their heads with emotion.

There are forty or fifty checkpoints in a land of thousands of miles, and on average, there is one checkpoint in twenty or thirty miles.

There are so many checkpoints, because Han implements a feudal system, and the king of Han wants to divide his ministers, and the ministers also divide the retainers, and the retainers have to retainers...... Layer by layer, each more sub-seal adds an additional checkpoint, and everyone has the right to set up checkpoints in their own fiefdom to collect taxes.

"Han Di is still good, Chu Di is even more shocking." Wei Yu shook his head and said, "In the fiefdom of the Great Family, it's not bad." The fiefdom of the Great Family is large, and the number of levels is smaller. In the fiefdoms of those small families, it is called a shock, I once saw that there are four checkpoints in ten miles, and if you calculate it carefully, there is one checkpoint in three or two miles. ”

"These levels can't be kept, they must be scrapped." Qin Yiren has seen with his own eyes how terrifying the checkpoints in Shandong are.

"The minister has been in Wei for several years, and I have seen with my own eyes how rampant the family is." Li Si shook his head, very angry, and said: "The family is deeply rooted in Shandong, although it has been reined in after the implementation of the Qin Law, it is still not to be underestimated. Those big families have a lot of customers, as few as three or five, and as many as hundreds or thousands, and they do many illegal things for their minions. ”

During the Warring States Period, it became common to raise customers. The so-called doorman is actually an idle person, attached to a rich and powerful family, acting for the tiger, oppressing the good, and taking advantage of it.

The most famous Yangmenke are Meng Weijun Tianwen, Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, Xinling Jun Wei Wuji, and Chunshenjun Huang Xie, who are known as the "Four Princes of the Warring States". These four people have a rich net worth, and they have thousands of customers, running and boasting for them, blowing the four of them like flowers, and their "good names" are all over the world.

In fact, these four people are doing some unsightly things behind their backs, and they have nothing to do with the word "virtuous", but they are just people who sell their fame and reputation.

Chun Shenjun actually did the act of usurping the country, can this be a "virtuous" word?

In the implementation of the Qin law in Shandong, although these powerful families have been reined in, their foundation is still there, and they will do bad things from time to time.

You must know that in the Warring States dispute, there are many chivalrous people like dogs, assassins are all over the place, and if they don't agree with each other, they will draw their swords and rise up, killing people to vent their anger, if you want to eradicate these heroes in a short period of time, it is unrealistic, yes, although Han Weiqi has been in the three places for several years, Haoqiang is still very rampant.

"The old aristocracy, families, and heroes of the Six Kingdoms must be uprooted, otherwise, Shandong will be restless, and it will be difficult for the people to have a good life." Qin Yiren fought many times with Pingyuan Jun, Xinling Jun and Chun Shen Jun, and knew how rampant these people were.

In the past, the world was not unified, and the Qin State was not free to deal with them, and now it was time to punish these people.

"The currencies are different, and it is inconvenient for merchants to trade." Fan Zengdao.

The seven warring states each have their own currency, Qi Dao Zhao coins go their own way, Qin is busy dominating the world, and has not yet rectified the economic order, and the currencies of the major warring states are still in circulation. If we do not carry out rectification, it will be inconvenient for the economy to develop, and if the economy does not develop, it will be difficult for the people of the country to live a good life.

"Currencies must be unified." Qin Yiren nodded heavily.

The importance of money does not need to be said, everyone can understand that there is no room for negotiation in this matter.

"What the ministers saw and heard on the road, most of the people were troubled by different scales and different weighing instruments. There are also those unscrupulous and powerful families who do fraud in this way. Li Mu's right hand was clenched into a fist, and his face was angry.

During the Warring States Period, the world was in turmoil, there were many weights and measures, and a country had one or even several kinds of weights and measures, which were in a mess, and illegal businessmen and powerful families profited from it and made huge profits.

In some countries, there are tens or even dozens of weights and measures. This is most obvious in the state of Chu. Because the state of Chu implements partition, there are many families, and the power of the family is very large, even the king of Chu is difficult to control, they do whatever they want, how to formulate weights and measures, is not their work in a word?

"Weights and measures must be unified." Of course, Qin Yiren knew the terrible consequences of the chaos of weights and measures.

In this way, everyone speaks a word, I say a word, speak freely, and everything you say is a disadvantage for the ages. (To be continued......)
