Chapter 57

Great Qin is ushering in a great change that has affected the entire land of China and the history of the world.

More than a month after the constitution was established, the First Emperor ordered a reform of the law.

First of all, the Great Qin Law of the Great Qin Empire was officially promulgated and implemented.

Then, the First Emperor redivided the world into a region and thirteen states.

Each state has three ministers, including the governor of the state, the secretary of justice, and the state general. The state pastor is in charge of the affairs of the state, the secretary of law is in charge of the law cases of the state, and the state general is in charge of the military affairs of the state.

Of course, the imperial court bureaucracy has also undergone great changes.

Under the emperor, there are four ministers: Prime Minister, Sikong, Sima, and General.

The prime minister is in charge, the Sikong is in charge of the law, Sima is in charge of the procuratorate, and the general is in charge of the army.

The prime minister is served by Li Si, and the following is composed of three major departments: the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Officials.

Meng Yi is the secretary, and the following is composed of two departments: the Criminal Department and the Law Department.

Sima was held by Ying Xi, who was in charge of the supervision department, was not subject to anyone's constraints, and was only responsible to the emperor, but had no real power, and was only responsible for investigating officials. The trial officer can only be referred to the Criminal Department for trial.

The general is served by Wang Qian, and the following is composed of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry.

The First Emperor also promoted a large number of officials, and appointed a large number of talented people from the family and clans who were interested in Great Qin.

Don't look at Ying Xi is only in charge of a supervision department, but he has the role of supervising hundreds of officials. Supervision offices of departments at all levels, state departments, county departments, and county-level departments. They are not subject to the constraints of local officials, and are directly responsible to the higher-level departments, and can directly report the results to Ying Xi directly by skipping the level.

······

It can be said that this system of Great Qin is the result of the stitching monster stitched by the modern knowledge of Qin Xi and the system of three provinces and six ministries, and then through the changes of the Great Qin think tank.

There must be a big loophole in it, but for Daqin, it is already a very advanced system.

Although Qin Xi still has some dissatisfaction with this, Great Qin can only go so far now, otherwise it will definitely shake the country's foundation.

What made Qin Xi happy was that the status of businessmen had improved, but the threshold for doing business was extremely high, and businessmen were not allowed to be officials. But that's right, for Daqin, male farming and female weaving are still the foundation of the country.

The status of merchants has been improved, and at the same time, the status of craftsmen has also been improved, and they are no longer the lowest group of people, which is very beneficial to the development of Daqin.

At present, Daqin still has a big vacancy in his official position, but there is no way to do it.

The first is the obstruction of the hundreds of schools of thought, so that people of insight cannot work for Daqin. Second, Daqin still has financial problems and cannot expand the official system.

However, as schools such as the Mo family and peasant families, as well as novelists and other schools of thought turned to Daqin, the situation of Daqin improved.

In particular, the Mohists can be compared with Confucianism academically, and their disciples can bear hardships and stand hard work, and they can even do not need official salaries.

······

On this day, Qin Xi was in the courtyard of the town, holding a sledgehammer, testing cement.

It worked very well, and it was a success.

The Mo family giant was stunned from the sidelines, because another remarkable achievement appeared in front of his eyes.

Qin Xi said to the housekeeper: "Butler, take the money, set up the factory, I want to have results within seven days." ”

"Don't worry, Childe, I'll do it!" The housekeeper was obviously used to it, so he went straight to it.

The reason why Qin Xi dared to say that there would be results within seven days was that as long as it was very simple to set up a factory by himself, as long as he found a piece of land to build a shed, it was not so complicated.

As for the facilities in the back, it will be improved slowly in the future. Now the factories in Qin Xi's hands are all up like this.

The Mo family giant sighed: "With this cement, the walls of Great Qin will be even more impregnable. ”

"It's not just about building city walls, as long as the output comes up, you can build houses and roads, and then Daqin will be really powerful." Qin Xi dropped the hammer and said.

Qin Xi put his arm around the shoulders of the Mo family giant and said, "I'll show you a few things, and you can help me send them to the farmer." ”

"Why don't you go by yourself?" The Mo family giant asked.

"Because I don't know the farmer leader well, and you're idle, I'm working hard for you." Qin Xi said with a smile.

The Mo family giant complained wordlessly, if he hadn't been entrusted by Nie Li to protect Qin Xi for a few days, the Mo family giant would have left a long time ago.

The Mo family giant followed Qin Xi and walked outside, and asked, "What kind of good things, I want the prince to hide outside." ”

"No, it's just some new farm tools, and the drawings are all at home, mainly for you to see the real thing." Qin Xi said with a smile.

Qin Xi took the Mo family giant to the farmland outside the town. Now is the time of the autumn harvest, Qin Xi's factories that can take holidays are all on holiday, and the factories that can't take holidays have also implemented a shift system.

Some of the harvested fields are now being ploughed and ready to be planted with wheat.

I saw the farmers using various tools and sweating in the fields.

Quyuan plow, cylinder car, keel waterwheel, cocoon······ These farm tools made the eyes of the Mo family giants shine, and finally took off their robes directly and went down to practice them personally.

Qin Xi saw that the Mo family giant was studying hard, so he went back alone.

It's not that Qin Xi doesn't want to work in the field, but Qin Xi is ready to do business.

Now Qin Xi's most profitable business is the ceramics business and wine business, as for paper and printing, as well as the transition, it is basically to contribute to the society, and there is nothing profitable.

Now that it's autumn, winter is just around the corner. At that time, the coal business will also begin, after all, there is so much coal hoarding.

In ancient times, coal was not used because the carbon monoxide in it was not easy to be discharged outside, after all, you can't open the door while the fire is boiling.

Therefore, as long as the pipe is connected to the stove and discharged, before there was not enough iron, no one could build an exhaust pipe, but now the iron pipe is enough, you must know that Qin Xi's iron-making method has spread all over Daqin.

However, Qin Xi thought about the current situation of the people of Great Qin, after hundreds of years of troubled times, it was not easy for the people, Qin Xi felt that this business should make less money.

However, in the next business, Qin Xi plans to scrape some meat from the rich again.

Nowadays, with the abundant use of coal in Qinxi's factories, Qinxi has also invested a lot of money in the relevant craftsmen to study how to increase the use of coal.

Unexpectedly, it was really successful, and the temperature of coal burning was directly increased, and the utilization rate was greatly improved, and Qin Xi also planned to burn glass.

However, Qin Xi was not sure, because Qin Xi only knew that the glass was burned out of sand, but how to burn it and what ingredients needed to be added, Qin Xi didn't know anything.

Qin Xi thought about it, and planned to find someone to do it, so he wouldn't do it himself, otherwise it would be embarrassing to fail at that time.

However, it was impossible for Qin Xi to be lazy, because an edict from the First Emperor gave him a difficult task.

"Edict! Xi, surnamed Zhao. I order you, little rabbit, to develop Daqin's commerce, but you can't delay the peasants' farming, otherwise I will collect all your industries into the treasury! ”

Meng Yi closed the edict and said with a smile: "It's the first time I've seen His Majesty the Emperor write an edict in the vernacular. ”

Qin Xi rolled his eyes and said, "Why are you here to pass on the edict, this is not a matter for the Ministry of Rites." ”

"Because I happened to be looking for you about business." Meng Yi said.
