Of course, the bureaucracy has its own faults and problems. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, their ability and efficiency are beyond doubt.

In particular, when there is a powerful king in their head who controls their life and death, honor and disgrace, they are basically an open group.

Historically, Qin Shi Huang's bureaucratic system was famous for its ancient and modern times.

Countless great projects such as the Great Wall and the Qin Straight Road are all masterpieces of Qin Shi Huang's bureaucratic system.

In this process, Qin Shi Huang unified China by the way, realizing the county system, the same track for cars, and the same text for books.

Today's Han bureaucracy is undoubtedly stronger than that of the Qin Shi Huang period.

It's not that the ability surpasses the predecessors.

It's the strength and organization and scale that surpass those of their predecessors.

During the period of Qin Shi Huang, how many bureaucrats were there in the whole world?

Even if you count the officials, is there two million?

Probably not!

Today, the county and township of the Han Dynasty, Tingli County, are well organized and powerful.

In the Guanzhong and Sanhe areas, it is even unprecedented that every township is equipped with a complete system of yours and soldiers.

Each person has a corresponding officer.

You can even mobilize the militia organizations in the township to participate in or launch the encirclement, suppression, and arrest of criminals.

In the Qin Dynasty, this was only possible in the core area of Guanzhong.

The pavilion chiefs and lizheng groups composed of a large number of veteran officers/non-commissioned officers have given the grassroots organizations a strong enough organization and mobilization power.

Since the Battle of Mayi, all wars and various constructions have relied on the power of this system.

And the central officials who can control these grassroots forces are naturally not stupid or mediocre officials.

Even if there were, they would be ousted by others.

In fact, since the fourth year of Yuande, the competitive pressure of officialdom has become more and more intense.

Don't you see, now, have the chiefs of the Jiuqing Yamen basically changed?

The old bureaucracy has receded, and the new has risen.

These people may have problems of one kind or another, but their abilities and insight and means are necessarily the best among their peers.

Yes, after thinking about it carefully, the big farmer Cheng Shangrong bowed and said: "Your Majesty, since you want to build Weicao to connect Luoyang, repair the chasm and even the big river, why not renovate the ditch and open up the Yangtze River?" ”

Hangou is a canal built by Wu Wangfucha in the late Spring and Autumn Period for his dream of being the hegemon.

This canal is a symbol of the hegemony of the Wu State, but because of this canal, the husband died and the country was destroyed.

In a sense, Fucha is Yang Guang's predecessor.

But although the husband is dead, the ditch has always existed and plays a vital role.

However, at this time, Hangou still has a fatal flaw - because it is a canal built in the Spring and Autumn Period, various standards and technical indicators can no longer keep up with the development of the times.

Nowadays, the role of the ditch is just a water conservancy channel.

Few people attach importance to it, or elevate it to the point of connecting the Huai River with the Yangtze River.

If Liu Che is not mistaken, it was not until the Eastern Han Dynasty that the status of Hangou began to be highlighted, but at that time Hangou was in disrepair, and the Eastern Han Dynasty officials were not powerful, and in the Three Kingdoms, Sun Quan and Cao Cao broke out many wars around the control of Hangou.

The ditch was badly damaged by the war, and the passage was often cut off and almost buried in silt.

Fortunately, the Eastern Jin Dynasty attached importance to the role of the ditch in order to transport grain and grass, and also for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and began to comprehensively renovate and build.

And the ditch was re-planned and redesigned, and more new technologies and methods were used.

Nowadays, Hangou is not taken seriously.

It's just a ditch in the history books, a symbol, and only locals and agricultural experts will notice it.

Liu Che shook his head and said to Shang Rong: "Aiqing only knows one thing, but I don't know the other. Hangou I know the benefits, but it's not time yet! ”

Once the ditch is started, it means that the Sui-Tang Grand Canal will start digging hundreds of years in advance.

The reason is very simple, if you dig through the gap with the chasm, then the connection between the Huai River, the Yangtze River, and the Great River will be opened.

At that time, the people, public opinion and society will call for a Grand Canal connecting the north and the south!

And the problem is that Liu Che doesn't have the financial resources and strength to do this now.

I don't dare to bet on it.

In Liu Che's plan, the Grand Canal of Emperor Yang of Sui is of course a great project, and it is also a very necessary thing!

But not now!

It doesn't take 10 or 20 years to complete the construction.

It is entirely possible to spread the entire Grand Canal project into 30, 40 or even 100 years.

First dig the connection between the chasm and Luoyang, open up the traffic between the river and Huaisi, and then open up the water passage between Guanzhong and Luoyang.

In this way, the risks are dispersed, but the benefits are real.

It can also be used to train an excellent engineering force to prepare for the future Grand Canal and other super projects.

In fact, it is necessary to use this project to practice.

After hearing this, Shang Rong bowed and said, "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

And the others were all bright-eyed, Shang Rong didn't mention Hangou It's okay, as soon as Hangou was mentioned, they immediately remembered that in addition to Hangou, there was also a big ditch.

Dagou is a canal built by the Wei State near Daliang City in the early Warring States period, which is mainly used for irrigation and transportation of military supplies.

It still exists today, but it is no longer as pomp and circumstance as it once was.

The reason is very simple, at the beginning, Qin destroyed Wei, and the Qin general Wang Jian was the Liang who led the ditch water to irrigate the Liang City, and the Wei State was destroyed.

In the Han Dynasty, the people near Kaifeng felt that this canal was unknown, so they didn't care much about it.

However, once the country decided to build a canal connecting the north and the south.

Well, this canal can play an important role.

In addition, when Qin Shi Huang conquered Wuyue, he built a canal called Jiangnan River in the local area (mainly near Guangling).

This canal can also be utilized.

In addition, there is also a spiritual canal connecting South Vietnam and Wu Chu, is it possible to use one or two?

If it is really done in the future, all the large and small canals in the north and south will be connected, and the Yangtze River and other branches will be completely connected.

This is a great feat!

All participants may go down in history and be watched by all the time!

Especially those ministers who were born in the Legalist family, they are now dancing excitedly, and it is difficult to restrain themselves.

Every Legalist official has a dream of a great project in his heart.

Beginning with Li Kui, every Legalist bureaucrat was obsessed with all the works of greatness, enormity, and miracles.

So, they built the Zhengguo Canal, so, they built the Great Wall, so, they built the world's first highway - Qinzhidao.

Now, an even greater project has appeared before their eyes, and everyone is fascinated.
