"The identity of the Mo family giant has been confirmed by the Mo Mei in his hand, and the heads of those masters who participated in the attack and killing of the envoy are already on their way to Xianyang City! Ministers, when the heads arrive, you may as well go with me to identify them, and perhaps among these heads of unknown origin are acquaintances. ”

The First Emperor casually flipped through the folds a few times, swept his eyes, and then looked at the civil and military ministers in the court with a subtle smile on his face and said.

"Hum—"

There was another buzz in the hall, and now everyone almost confirmed the authenticity of the news. Many ministers in the court know that Mo Mei is the status symbol of the Mo family giant, and holding Mo Mei is the real Mo family giant, otherwise no matter how legitimate your identity is, no matter how supported by the Mo family's disciples, it is impossible to serve as the Mo family giant.

It's just that Ling Xuan's boldness has not yet reached the point of deceiving the king, and the identity of the Mo family giant has basically been determined.

"Unexpectedly, the Mo family giant was defeated in the hands of that kid!"

Many ministers in the court felt deeply surprised, the Mo family giant, who came and went freely in the land of Daqian, and made the people helpless, was really defeated and was captured alive by Su Lingxuan. This can be called the biggest and most cunning opponent of the Daqian Dynasty, and it ended in such a disorienting and unexpected way.

And the person who caught him was only a boy under the age of sixteen. What's even more ridiculous is that the other party still has the title of "waste", and the Mo family giant is still defeated in the case of superior numbers and many masters!

Thinking of all this, the ministers could only sigh with emotion.

"Su Lingxuan, he really deserves to be Su Qi's son!"

"The tiger father has no dogs!"

Just when these "ignorant" ministers were full of emotion, those who knew the inside story were sweating profusely and trembling in fear.

Others don't know the identities of those masters, but they know it clearly, if their heads are sent back to Xianyang City, and their real identities are found out by the officials of the Tingwei Mansion, then, unless Confucianism is determined to use force to rebel, they will be under the snowy butcher's knife prepared by the First Emperor!

At this time, all the ministers with different intentions saw something from the words and deeds of the First Emperor, and thought carefully in their hearts, and their minds were as sensitive as them, which one was not covered in a cold sweat, and a cold air rose from the soles of their feet and rushed straight to their backbones.

The reason why the First Emperor did not say it directly was probably because he did not want to drive them to a dead end, but just wanted to use this as a bargaining chip to force Confucianism and the forces involved in it to make concessions, so that a series of propositions represented by the county system could be smoothly implemented in the Daqian Dynasty.

It is likely that the First Emperor has already seen through their intentions, but it is not yet necessary to completely tear his face. In other words, as long as the time comes, the First Emperor will not hesitate to dispose of them!

Rao thought he had something to rely on, and once he thought that they were being targeted by the eloquent First Emperor, these people couldn't help but feel numb in their scalps, and the two trembled.

"Good! I have just decided to implement the county system in the world, and Ling Xuan's child caught the Mo family giant, it seems that it is the blessing of the gods of the ancestors of the past dynasties, and they also agree with me to implement the county system to govern the country. The First Emperor showed a joyful expression at the right time and said decisively, "Since this is the case, then I will make a decision, and from today onwards, my cadres will rule the world with the county system." ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The ministers in the court, whether willing or unwilling, could only bend down to congratulate at this time, acquiescing in the legitimacy of this decree.

As early as the beginning of the first emperor's unification of the world, the concept of the county system has been proposed, and after uninterrupted meticulous polishing in recent years, this set of theories has been very mature. As long as the First Emperor decides to implement it, it can be immediately on the right track.

The specific policies of the county system are similar to those of later generations with advanced science and technology, or in other words, the political system of later generations is still using the ancient political system of more than 2,000 years ago.

To put it simply, the county system stipulates that there are a total of 36 counties in the county, and each county has a county guard (equivalent to a high-ranking official), a county lieutenant (equivalent to a defense district commander), and a county supervisor (equivalent to a supervisor), and the county guard is the highest administrator of a county, in charge of the administrative affairs of the whole army, and is directly controlled by the central government, and the county lieutenant assists the county guard and is in charge of the military affairs of the whole county; The county supervisor is in charge of the inspection.

There are lower-level administrative organs below the county level, counties in the interior, roads in the border areas of ethnic minorities, counties with more than 10,000 households and county orders, which are directly appointed by the emperor, and county magistrates for those with less than 10,000 households. The commander and the chief are the heads of a county, in charge of the county's government affairs, and are subject to the county's control. Under the order and the chief, there are lieutenants and captains. lieutenant, in charge of the county's military and public security; 丞, the assistant to the county magistrate or the county magistrate, is in charge of the county's justice.

There are townships, li and pavilions below the county. The township and the li are administrative organs, and the pavilion is a security organization. The township has three elders, a husband and a wanderer. The three elders are in charge of education, the husband is in charge of litigation and taxation, and you are in charge of law and order. The township is the most basic administrative unit of the political system. In addition to the functions of the township government, which are basically the same as those of the township government, they also have the task of organizing production.

In addition, there is a special agency kiosk for security and anti-theft. The county system follows the old practice of the Qianguo, stipulating that the two pavilions are separated by ten miles and the pavilion chief is set up. In addition to the main management of public security, the pavilions are also responsible for receiving officials who come and go, and are in charge of transporting, procuring, and transmitting (documents) for the government.

The central, county, county, township, and village management bodies are functionally the same as those of the central, provincial, municipal, county, township, and village management models of later generations. In the ancient era of 2,000 years ago, there was no doubt that the sophistication of the county system was unparalleled.

The Great Qian Dynasty paid great attention to efficiency from top to bottom, and since the First Emperor had already decided to implement the county system, the next task for the ministers was to determine the candidates for the county guards in various places. As for the county lieutenants, superintendents, and lower-level officials, they can just be used by pulling people from the original political system, and the content of the duties has not changed anyway, but the names have been changed somewhat.

For many nobles and ministers, if they can't be a prince, it's okay to be a feudal official, after all, if they are released, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and they don't have to be afraid of being liquidated by the first emperor one day, and they also have a very high degree of autonomy, and they can let go of their ambitions in a county. Therefore, in the following court discussion, the ministers pointed to the county map that the first emperor let him hang, and put forward candidates for the county guard, and even in order to seize several densely populated and resource-rich counties, the ministers who had just insisted on opposing the county system were fighting with each other with a red face and thick neck, and they couldn't wait to roll up their sleeves and slap each other to death.

Just when there was a quarrel in the court and there were endless disputes between them, Wang Ben, the Marquis of Tongwu, who had always insisted on not participating in political affairs, suddenly came out and said to the First Emperor: "Your Majesty, I also want to recommend one person to serve as the county guard." ”

In a word, it immediately attracted the attention of all the civil and military officials in the main hall.

"Tongwu Hou also has someone to recommend, well, let's hear it." On the throne, the First Emperor said quietly.

"I have a bold idea about the selection of county guards for several counties in the land of Qilu. I highly recommend Xiao Wu An Guogong Su Lingxuan to serve as the county guard of Xue County! ”

Tongwu Marquis Wang Ben was not in a hurry, and said solemnly.

"Boom-"

Just like a huge extraterrestrial meteorite falling in Xianyang Palace, Wang Ben's words suddenly caused an uproar among the ministers.

"Ridiculous!"

Before the other civil and military officials could speak, Chun Yuyue, who was in the Confucian lineage, was the first to jump out, and shouted loudly without leaving any emotion: "Tongwu Hou is out of mind? That Su Lingxuan is just a half-grown kid, you actually recommended him to be the county guard of Xue County! Among the candidates recommended by the ministers present at the meeting, which one is not a conscientious official for one or two decades, has deep qualifications and popularity, and has the ability and prestige to govern a county. If he can be the county guard of Xue County even if he is a yellow-mouthed child, wouldn't everyone be able to? So how can a milky kid serve the public! Where will I put my courtiers and my courtiers? ”
