Hmph, if the Jiang family dares to do such a rebellious thing, he Qin Huaidao doesn't mind letting the Jiang family be erased from the territory of the Han Dynasty.

He looked at Zhang Huaishan coldly: "The matter of the Jiang family, I have investigated it clearly, you only need to tell me who is behind the Jiang family, and how many big clans in the entire Jiangnan Province are involved." ”

Zhang Huaishan shook his head again and again: "Your Majesty, how can such a major crime be known?" The criminal minister has only come into contact with Jiang Heng of the Jiang family, and there are a few children of the family, and the rest have never seen each other. ”

"Then let's cut it." Qin Huaidao didn't have that much patience to argue with this guy.

When he heard the words, Zhang Huaishan was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

He began to regret accepting the Jiang family's proposal in the first place.

At that time, it was said that he was only responsible for dealing with the money, and the Jiang family was responsible for ensuring that he would not be arrested after escaping to Jiangnan Province and live a free life, but he did not expect that his planned escape would end before it began.

"Your Majesty, the criminal minister once drank with Jiang Heng, and he drank too much and revealed extremely important news, saying that most of the families in Jiangnan Province were involved in their major affairs!"

Most of the big families in Gangnam Province?

When the news came out again, they were shocked.

If it is true, it means that the rich land of Gangnam Province has completely become a breeding ground for rebels.

"It's kind of useful." Qin Huaidao knew that he couldn't ask anything if he asked again, so he asked Luo Wu to temporarily detain him and discuss the next matters together.

According to Zhang Huaishan, the situation in Jiangnan Province is so critical, I am afraid that it is no longer appropriate to go again.

However, Qin Huaidao didn't believe that his Jiang family could cover the sky in the entire Jiangnan Province, at most it would be a little more hidden, as for whether the Han Dynasty really sincerely followed the Jiang family to rebel, or whether they were wronged and asked for the cooperation of the right to cooperate, in fact, there is only another way to protect their lives.

Since they haven't broken out yet, it means that Gangnam Province is not monolithic.

"Let's go, since we have news from Jiangnan Province, we will chase the 400,000 taels of silver and continue to set off."

In this way, Lantian County is here, and Qin Huaidao has returned from a high human emperor to a brother.

Changan.

Fang Xuanling is busy preparing for the establishment of the Ministry of State Affairs, although this new measure proposed by Qin Huaidao is beneficial to the country and the people, but it requires a huge number, how to find people, identity verification is a big problem.

Eventually, the matter may return to local recommendations and the like, but the case of local recommendations will return to the situation of local magistrates in the control, which is not something that the Ministry of State wants to see.

Random selection doesn't seem realistic.

It was Xue Rengui who came up with a good idea.

Over the years, there has been a list of people who participated in the conscription, and if they are selected from the people who participated in the conscription, it can be used as a countermeasure for the first recruitment, at least to ensure that their origins are clean.

The fly in the ointment is that this group of people may be relatively uneducated.

Under Xue Rengui's proposal, Fang Xuanling made a supplement, not only to be selected from the list of conscripts, state affairs are not civil, if there is no certain opinion, it is impossible to make such a major decision, so it is necessary to select from all strata of Shinong industry and commerce in proportion, and the local people are mainly elected, so that they can express their opinions on behalf of all walks of life.

After the follow-up details were added, the Ministry of State was officially put into operation, not only quickly preparing for the formation of the Ministry of State Affairs, but also playing the role of acting for the emperor in making state decisions in the daily court meetings.

The Chang'an Daily, which Xue Yuanchao was in charge of, also reported on the matter.

After a period of development, coupled with the growing number of printing industry teams in the industrial city, today's Chang'an Daily has affected several surrounding state roads, and many people have gradually understood that everyone is equal and officials are public servants of the people, and a group of Han nationals who support new ideas have emerged.

They expressed their strong support for the functioning of the Ministry of State.

A businessman from Shangzhou sighed: "I can't imagine that the Ministry of State Affairs can operate so well in just a few days, it seems that the accuracy of His Majesty's decision-making and the subtlety of the design of the government are far beyond the emperors of previous dynasties, on behalf of the Ministry of State Affairs?" It's a bit interesting, since Your Majesty has a heart, I will also go to Chang'an to contribute my own strength. ”

In the field.

A few farmers had just returned to the village after planting, holding a copy of the Chang'an Daily in their hands and discussing.

"Mr. Li, you said that we are illiterate, can you tell us more about what this person means that all men are created equal?" The farmer asks the only teacher in the village.

Mr. Li said: "All people are born equal, so that no matter the imperial power and aristocrats, officials, merchants, pawns, workers and peasants, they are all equal. ”

The peasants laughed: "Mr. Li, what are you kidding, can we be equal to the county officials?" Can we be equal to Your Majesty? ”

"When Your Majesty sees us, will he also kowtow to us?"

"Little San'er, you are looking for death, how can Your Majesty's prestige be something you can discuss casually?" Some villagers were angry, this person named Xiao San'er spoke disrespectfully to His Majesty, and if he had done so before, he would probably have killed his own village.

Mr. Li smiled and said: "Don't worry, there is one of these equality for all, which means that everyone is free and equal in speech, as long as everyone does not provoke trouble and does not scold others, what the emperor can say, everyone can also say, as long as it does not break the law and commit crimes, what the emperor can't say, we can also say." ”

After listening to Mr. Li's explanation, these farmers were all amazed.

"Then let's scold Your Majesty a few times, it's okay?"

Mr. Li said: "Your Majesty said, the people scolded the emperor, it must be because the emperor did not do well, since he did not do well, then he should be scolded, not only that, but His Majesty also invited all the peasants in the world, no matter what their origin, can run for state representatives, join the representative of the Ministry of State Affairs to discuss politics together, and the power is no less than those first-class officials." ”

"State representatives? Can we also talk about national affairs? Some farmers questioned.

Mr. Li laughed, and he said softly: "It's not a discussion, it's a decision, Your Majesty said that the world of the Han Dynasty today is the world of the people, and since it is the world of the people, then the people should be the masters." ”

"You're the masters."

Hearing this, the hearts of these farmers all shone with the light of hope.

Although they may not necessarily do anything, the concept of the people being the masters of their own affairs has gradually penetrated into the hearts of each of them.

The progress of society and the change of social structure are all produced by the changes of these peasants bit by bit.

Some peasants began to think further, since representing the Ministry of State requires everyone's participation, why can't it be themselves?

As a result, the selection of state representatives was vigorously launched in Dahan.

At the time of the drastic changes in national politics, Qin Huaidao had quietly left Lantian County with Luo Wu, Fang Yiai, Cheng Chumo, and Luo Zhang, and continued to set off towards Jiangnan Road.
