Chapter 851: Hereditary [Asking for a Subscription * Asking for a Monthly Pass]

"Are they really gone, are you sure that there will be no turmoil and shock to the local administration?"

In fact, Yingzheng has always been in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and such a big matter is not something that Jin Yao can decide alone.

Yingzheng came, Li Si also came, including Wang Jian from Taiwei's Mansion also came, just worried that something would happen.

After all, this decision involves too many people, and they are all local nobles, the kind of super nobles that the Qin State will not dare to touch even if the country is destroyed, the great family.

Whatever one is taken out, the kind whose family history is about to catch up with the history of the Qin State, and there are many of them that are even longer than the history of the Qin State.

"It is those county commanders, county lords, and Taoist chiefs who help us stabilize the place, not these big nobles and great families, on the contrary, their existence is what we have always been wary of." Jin Yao calmly spoke.

This time it was a great aristocratic family that was very influential in one place, and the kind whose influence was in one and a half counties.

But these people have never been the force that helped Great Qin stabilize, and it was these small local clans under the control of the great aristocratic families that really helped Great Qin stabilize the place.

If Great Qin removed these great nobles and great families, for those local small clans, it would make them see an opportunity to move up and move away the mountains above their heads.

This is a matter of applause for the local small clans, as for following these big nobles and big families to resist, they are not really stupid, they want to follow these people all the way to the dark and send them to death.

"The name of this plan is to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle!" Jin Yao said with a smile.

These great nobles and great families can argue with Great Qin, and the confidence that makes Great Qin jealous comes from the local small clans that are hereditary in those places.

Before the inspection system, there were only two ways to elect officials in the Qin State, one was the guest system, and the other was the hereditary Shilu system that had been followed since the Yellow Emperor's time.

The guest system is the talent specially discovered by the king, hired as a guest secretary, and then parachuted into an important position as a chief, such as Shang Ying, Zhang Yi, Fan Ju, Bai Qi, etc.

Therefore, the guest secretary system actually only affects the changes in the positions at the top, and does not have much impact on the officials at the bottom.

What really determines the stability of the court is the hereditary system.

The hereditary hereditary system is the most fundamental method of selecting officials in the Qin State, and the hereditary hereditary system is the hereditary official position, such as Li Chong, the Taishou of Longxi, Li Xin's grandfather.

Li Chong's father was an official of the Wei State, but he entered Qin as a guest secretary when King Huiwen was the king of Huiwen and was named the imperial history, and then Li Chong also inherited his father's position and got the position of Taishou of Longxi and was named the Duke of Zheng in the south.

Later, Li Chong's son Li Yao also became the county guard of Nanjun because of the hereditary official position, after the Qin State attacked the Chu State and established the Nanjun County, but the title was inherited from his father and was named the Marquis of Di Dao.

After that, Li Xin, Li Xin was not from a humble background, otherwise he would not have been able to get to Yingzheng's side, and he would be a general as soon as he came out.

is also because of his family background, coupled with the law of the old Qin people who are known as the generals of the Kansai and the Kanto of the Qin State, Li Xin naturally became the most favored young general of Yingzheng.

In history, Li Xin obviously lost his troops in the battle to destroy Chu, why he was able to kill Yan as a deputy general, in addition to the various unexpected factors in the first war to destroy Chu, the most important thing is that the force behind Li Xin is too strong.

Under the hereditary system, an official served as the governor of one party for three years, and the official position could be passed on to one of his sons.

If he has served as a county magistrate or magistrate in a place for more than three years, then after his death, his son will also be the next county magistrate and the first heir to the prefectural magistrate.

Xianyang would almost always have tacitly assumed that his heir was the first candidate for succession, and after the successor was elected, he was stamped with Xianyang's big seal to officially confirm his identity.

As a result, the aristocracy was formed and controlled the place.

But this is unavoidable, there are more than 3,000 counties in Daqin, although the county magistrate needs to be appointed by Xianyang, but it is impossible for Xianyang to be specially transferred from Xianyang to take office.

What's more, there are too few scholars in this era, and even fewer people can control a place, so these children who have heard and seen it since childhood can only take over their father's place and continue to manage the place.

Unless it is really mud that can't support the wall, and it has received a lower rating in Xianyang's year-end class examination for three consecutive years, officials will be dispatched from other places to replace it.

But it is not easy for these people to go up, those big aristocrats will be stuck in the assessment, and they will not be able to get the upper rating for three consecutive years, and it is impossible to go up again.

Therefore, the local nobles also used this to control these local officials and small clans.

Not every king is as fond of travel as the first emperor, and therefore, it is even more difficult for these local county magistrates to reach the heavens.

Therefore, Jin Yao's action this time is equivalent to removing the mountains above the heads of the small clans in these places, allowing them to see the way up.

In this case, if the local nobles want to threaten Xianyang with local turmoil, they will no longer be able to do it.

These local small clans will never miss this upward opportunity, and it is impossible for them to follow the big nobles to turbulent places and rebel.

If they succeed, they don't get any benefit; If they fail, they will all be wiped out!

In this case, as long as there is no problem with the brain, you know how to choose.

Ying Zheng, Li Si, and Wang Jian also figured out the key, this is really a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, and the foundation of this group of big nobles and big families has been siphoned off.

Xianyang can't draw more than 3,000 lowest-level officials who can control the locality, but it can still do it by drawing out a few county guards and county lieutenants who can take charge of a county.

It also means that Xianyang can find people to replace these big nobles and big families, so that these big nobles and big families have no choice.

"Be careful that some of these people jump off the wall!" Wang Jian said seriously.

Not everyone can figure this out, and it is inevitable that someone will jump off the wall in a hurry, so they have to guard against it.

"So I still have to ask the general to prepare for counterinsurgency!" Jin Yao smiled and nodded.

He also didn't believe that there were no fools in this group of big nobles, in case someone really jumped off the wall in a hurry, Xianyang also had to be prepared.

"Someone has to be the monkey's chicken, don't kill one or two people, I really think I'm afraid of them!" Ying Zheng also smiled and spoke.

He hasn't been scolded by this group of aristocratic families once or twice, but he has to endure it, and now he finally has the opportunity to return it, so he naturally won't let go of this opportunity.

Therefore, Ying Zheng personally ordered Wang Jian to gather heavy troops to deal with possible rebellions at any time.

"Rebellion?" The big nobles are actually not stupid, and they are also very well-informed, especially after knowing that Wang Jian has gathered an army of 50,000 and is ready to go to the battlefield at any time, they are all quiet.

As big nobles and big families, they may have one or two patriarchs who will be stupid, but it doesn't mean that all the people in the clan will be stupid.

It's not like they haven't done anything about changing the patriarch.

Therefore, the preparation of Ying Zheng and others was useless.
