Yingcheng's proposal stunned all the officials in the court, but no one raised objections.

Even Feng Quji, after thinking about it carefully, said: "You can give the joint inspection team of the Thirteenth Division a certain right to make decisions." ”

"Otherwise, the inspection team has no deterrent effect on local officials."

"Moreover, the joint inspection team of the thirteen divisions should be distinguished from the state patrol envoys and road patrol envoys."

"The state envoys and road envoys are the highest local officials dispatched by the imperial court, but the inspection team is only responsible for the implementation and supervision of government decrees, as well as the correction of local areas that are contrary to government decrees."

Feng Quji's proposal was unanimously approved by many officials in the court.

Yingcheng shook his head in the face of Feng Quji's proposal after venting his anger.

The reason why the proposal of the joint inspection team of the 13th Division was unanimously approved by many court officials.

The main reason was the struggle for power between the local government and the central court.

This is also what the court has been doing all along.

It seems that all the county guards are appointed by the imperial court, but when these county guards are local, they are more biased towards local officials and stand in a different position from the central court.

But!

Yingcheng said: "There is no need for deterrence. ”

"The inspection team only needs to correct local government decrees, do not set up local governments, do not administer at local places, do not notify local officials, move around randomly, transfer randomly, investigate randomly, and prefer to act on the wind, and have no right to make decisions."

"However, each inspection team is temporarily directly subordinate to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and is the same as Jiuqing and the same county-level officials."

Hearing Yingcheng's veto, Feng Quji was stunned, Li Si also frowned slightly, and many officials below were also stunned.

There was no reaction for a while.

Yingcheng shook his head.

In fact, this is the decision he made this trip, not before.

Any decree of the imperial court is to stabilize the world, and it is more suitable for the strength of the country and the prosperity of the people.

However, in the process of implementing the decree in various places, there have been many strange situations.

There are almost no people who completely disobey the imperial decrees and govern indiscriminately.

However, if it is said that it is implemented exactly the same according to the decrees of the imperial court, it is almost none.

It has been practiced since ancient times that the same policy of governance has been completely copied, so there is no need for such an official setting up as a local county guard.

Moreover, the prosperity of a county, a county, a township, or even a mile really depends entirely on the highest local magistrate.

This is undeniable!

And because of this.

"The inspection team is not trying to divide the authority of local officials, on the contrary, the imperial court should give enough self-rationality to local officials, so that local officials have enough places to display their talents and learn."

"However, it is not enough to rely on local officials to report in the form of documents, and only to report according to the documents submitted by the local government, such as land taxes, commercial taxes, military, bandits, etc., that a place is safe enough."

"Deception is only secondary, its core responsibility is to implement local decrees, the court needs to understand the situation, not wait for a result."

"In this way, it is a decree to be corrected, not to be amended."

Ying Cheng regained his calm smile and said, "This is also the result of this inspection. ”

"If I go to Chencang County to inspect this time, notify first, then move forward, and wait to greet me, the local officials will inevitably sweep the couch to welcome, and it is estimated that the team to welcome me will be ten miles away, which will not only affect the locality, but also make it difficult to see the scenery I want to see."

"But."

"No one knows where I will go next, when I will go, and even when I leave, the local officials will know that I have been here, so everything I see and hear is true."

"Only when you know what kind of situation will you prescribe the right medicine."

"At the same time, all the officials know that I am patrolling the west of Xianyang, and the officials dare not slack off, and the people are looking forward to complaining, which is different from the patrol envoys and road patrol envoys."

"As the prime minister said, the world is so big that it is difficult for a person to complete it in his lifetime, and all kinds of problems emerge one after another."

"The existence of the inspection team is to find these endless problems, to inspect with great fanfare, naturally you can't see the real situation, but random investigation, officials will not dare to slack off, and the decree will not be too far from the original intention of the imperial court, and you can really see what my Great Qin world is like."

Ying Cheng paused and continued: "On the contrary, once the authority of the inspection team is too great, then for the locality, it is tantamount to a disaster. ”

"Because the inspection team is only a temporary government order officer, they do not have a deep understanding of local affairs, and once the government order is overcorrected, it will be counterproductive."

Gradually.

Everyone in the court fell silent.

I don't know who, I suddenly said: "The eyes and ears of the court!" ”

Suddenly.

Everyone reacted.

once again confirmed what Yingcheng said, and couldn't help but settle down.

They all bowed and said: "The Great Law is wise! ”

The authority of the court lieutenant was reached at the local county government, and in each place there were county lieutenants who were specifically responsible for criminal crimes, and the county lieutenants controlled the wandering in the local township pavilions.

This is the authority of Zuo Prime Minister Li Si, forming an up and down passage from the bottom to the central court.

However, what the county lieutenant knows comes from the county lieutenant's report, and what the court governor's mansion understands comes from the county lieutenant's report, and the imperial court will not know about some small things about Chen sesame seeds and rotten grain, and the court will not care about it at all.

The same is true for the county and county police stations.

These are the two current upper and lower passages of Great Qin, political affairs and law.

At the same time, the Taiwei Mansion led the local government soldiers and stationed them in the camp.

The imperial court has to deal with all kinds of things every day, and it is actually very busy, so there are state patrol envoys and road patrol envoys.

Dispatch important ministers of the central court to inspect one state or even several states, or inspect along the nine straight roads, and take charge of the government affairs under them.

But it must have been fanfare, and it looked like sparks and lightning all the way.

Just like His Majesty the First Emperor inspecting the world, the places you pass and the scenes you see, if they are not investigated, they are all local crimes.

If you want to see the truth, it is simply impossible.

And because of this.

Whether it is the court or the emperor, they need an eye and ear.

This eyes and ears.

The joint inspection team of the 13th Division is the most reasonable arrangement.

The officials of the Thirteenth Division are involved in all aspects, except for the military, which are basically involved.

As both the person who discusses and formulates the decree and the supervisor who supervises the implementation of the decree, such an inspection arrangement is extremely clever.

More to say.

This is a mutually corroborating result.

If the officials of the 13th Division rotate and inspect and summarize the problems existing in the implementation of the decree in a timely manner, then the decree can be changed and the decree will be more reasonable.

"Next topic."

But it was Yingcheng, seeing that no one was talking anymore, so he said directly: "The problem of ploughing cattle must be solved." ”

"After all, manpower cultivation is too much worse, and the consumption of manpower is unimaginable."

It's a cliché!

Even before he changed the law, this was one of the main issues in the annual court proceedings.

But.

So many years down.

This question is still a problem.

"Previously, the imperial court was also vigorously supporting the policy of cultivating cattle, including the Wushi tribe and large-scale cattle breeding in the grasslands of various places, but the growth period of ploughing cattle was at least three years, and there was a lot of grass and trees needed to plough cattle."

"In addition, the world has been fighting for a long time, and the situation in various countries in the past was different, and there were many deficiencies in cultivating cattle, which could only be nourished with the power of Guanzhong."

Before Yingcheng's words fell, Feng Quji also shook his head and said: "Therefore, in order to solve this problem, a large number of war horses eliminated from the battlefield have become the first choice, but these war horses can only pull goods, and cannot plough the land. ”

"In addition to these, in the past, the imperial court even imitated the ancestors to tame beasts, jackals in the mountains and forests, tigers and leopards have been captured and domesticated, but the effect is that the evil tigers hurt people, the wolf nature is difficult to train, and the canines cannot be used for farming."

"Even among the cattle, only cattle can be used for farming, not long-haired cattle."

Feng Qujian paused, and continued: "And this time the policy of cultivating cattle, the township raises free-range cattle, and the nobles raise cattle, these ploughing cattle are all calves, and it will take at least five years to see results, and after ten years, the difficulty of ploughing cattle may be solved, for now, it is very difficult!" ”

Feng Qujian was telling the truth.

It is also a well-known thing.

The officials below also nodded their heads one by one.

This is really not a one-time problem that can be solved by any decree.

After all.

The growth cycle of ploughing cattle is not up to them.

Yingcheng naturally knows this problem.

The previous policy of cattle cultivation could not solve the problem in a short period of time, and this inspection shocked him.

That is, under collective agriculture, 90 percent of the people will be working by manpower.

The number of cultivated cattle registered in Daqin is only more than one million, and even if there are more than two million cultivated cattle in the hidden fields and hidden households, it is only more than two million, which cannot solve the problem of the shortage of cultivated cattle in the world.

And there is only one way to solve this problem.

"General Wang!" Yingcheng paused slightly and looked at his future grandfather-in-law.

“？？？” Wang Ben was about to fall asleep when he woke up suddenly, and looked up at Yingcheng suspiciously: "What's the matter, are you going to fight somewhere?" ”

"It's Mengtian's Great Wall Army, if you transfer 300,000 soldiers and horses to the north, you can launch a large-scale attack on the Xiongnu, although the Xiongnu don't farm, but the Xiongnu have a lot of cattle and sheep, which can solve the urgent need, at least 200,000 war horses, four or five hundred thousand cattle and sheep."

Many courtiers were not surprised to see Wang Ben in the court.

Wang Ben, as a general of the Qin State and one of the captains of the Taiwei Mansion, didn't worry about the problems they had headaches all day long.

Yingcheng didn't hear what Wang Ben said and asked, "How many cavalry are there in Longxi?" ”

Wang Ben was stunned for a moment, and replied fluently: "Your Majesty has transferred Li Xin's Southern Expeditionary Army back, counting the five hundred cavalry in the camp, the one thousand cavalry stationed in Weiyuan, and the two thousand cavalry of Yang Qian, the captain of the West Battalion of the Great Wall Army, for a total of three thousand cavalry. ”

"If you transfer troops from Longxi County, Ayang, Tongwei, Qinzhou, Longcheng, Anrong, Lintao, Lancang, Shangfeng and other places, Longxi has a total of three battalions of cavalry and 9,000 cavalry, but these soldiers and horses are government soldiers and horses, I am afraid that the mobilization is quite cumbersome, and it is not concentric, and each has its own belonging."

Source change app】

"For now, Longxi has been stabilized and does not need too many soldiers and horses to garrison, and the Great Wall Army is mainly responsible for the northern Xiongnu and the establishment of the Great Wall defense line, which is mainly distributed in Beidi, Jiuyuan, Yunzhong, Yanmen and other places."

Yingcheng paused, to be honest, he really didn't know about this.

The reason for asking.

Or is it because, in the current tense problem of ploughing cattle, it is necessary to find a substitute for ploughing cattle.

According to his understanding, during the period when Dog Rong was active in the Qiang region of Longxi, there were traces of wild asses living in Xinjiang, that is, in the land of Hexi, outside the Yumen Pass in Dunhuang.

If it is said that it can replace the cultivated cattle as a production tool, the only way is to domesticate the wild donkey.

And then if the wild donkey and the horse are crossed, a castrated version of the mule is born.

will be a shortcut to free up the workforce.

The mule is a very amazing species, inheriting the power of the war horse and the patience of the donkey, and was the main labor force in agriculture before mechanization.

No way.

The problem of ploughing cattle cannot be solved, and agricultural production is only on paper after all.

Ten years, not to mention ten years, he can't afford to wait for five years.
