Chapter 960: The Great Meeting

When Qin An heard this, he immediately said: "Since my father-in-law has said so, then I will accept this credit calmly." ”

"Haha...... Ying Zheng laughed, "you should accept it calmly." ”

The officials also laughed, they all knew that Qin An had been influenced by the culture after two thousand years, and they knew that after two thousand years, there would be no emperor in Huaxia, and the policy of equality for everyone would be implemented.

Therefore, Qin An does not have the reverence of the low-level people for the ministers of the court, only the respect of the ancestors of later generations.

This respect can be felt by everyone present.

Fusu opened his mouth at this time: "Enlighten the emperor, the emperor has meritorious service, and he should be rewarded." ”

Ying Zheng bowed his head and said: "The prince is right, the emperor has merit and great Qin, and he should be rewarded, but the emperor is already under one person and above ten thousand.

Prince, how do you say the emperor should be rewarded? ”

Before Fusu could speak, Qin An took the lead and said: "Father-in-law, you really want to reward me with something, I hope to get my father-in-law's manuscripts, not only my father-in-law's manuscripts, but also other Confucian manuscripts, paintings, and so on." ”

Fusu said, "Sir, what do you want these things for?" ”

Qin An said: "You don't understand, these things really don't seem to be useful now, but after a long time, this thing will be valuable."

Two thousand years from now, if I had a manuscript of the First Emperor in my hand, I would be a multimillionaire, or even a billionaire.

In addition, I hope that the imperial court will establish an official position, which is called the historian, which records everything in the court, especially the emperor's words and deeds.

There are two kinds of historians, one records everything about the emperor, and the other records the policies of the court and the major events in the world.

Every year, the two historians would compile the contents of the records into a book, which I call the "Historical Records".

In this way, even after 2,000 years, or even 20,000 years, the Chinese people will not forget our exploits. ”

Qin An's words immediately aroused the unanimous approval of the civil and military officials.

Li Si took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen agrees with this matter, Your Majesty's merits are in the eternal future, how can you not be remembered by the world forever." ”

Wechen agreed. Gan Luo said, "As soon as I heard about the historical records, I knew that it was invented by later generations, and it was very useful to history, so we in Daqin must do without it." ”

Then all the ministers agreed, and finally the coup was perverted, and this matter was handed over to Qin An to be responsible, and two good historians must be found for the imperial court.

Qin An readily agreed.

Subsequently, the prime ministers reported on the development of Daqin in recent years, as well as the disasters that occurred in various places.

Even if things go smoothly, there are still natural disasters in other places, but compared to before, the imperial court's response is very good.

Especially after the advent of cash-for-work, there are fewer people who starve to death. In particular, every household has food in stock, and it is difficult to starve to death.

However, most of what the two said was good things, and what happened in the entire Great Qin was indeed more good than disaster.

This was followed by the six Shangshu to announce the matter.

What the household department is talking about is an increase in taxes, population, fertile land, etc., as well as an increase in medical care, jobs, education, and so on.

The officials mainly talk about the affairs of officialdom, how many officials have merits, how many generals have opened up territories, etc., and mainly talk about the merits of officials.

As for the officials who are corrupt and pervert the law, they did not say it, not because they did not want to say it, but because they could not say it, after the development of business, almost the vast majority of officials accepted bribes.

Everyone knows about this from top to bottom, even the First Emperor Yingzheng also knows, so there is no need to say it.

The Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Crime, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry have all talked about their yamen, although in many places, Gan Luo and Feng Quji have already said it, but as the six Shangshu, they still have to say it again.

After the six books were finished, a group of local officials talked about some local things, some of them talked about their own merits, and some people talked about their own difficulties.

Locally, there are all kinds of achievements and difficulties.

Those who can be rewarded will be rewarded on the spot, and those who can solve difficulties on the spot will help solve the difficulties, and if they can't solve it, then solve it.

Finally, there is a group of generals, Meng Wu, Meng Tian and other generals who have expanded their territory, and they have told some meritorious soldiers one by one.

It was already afternoon after the whole process, and everyone's stomachs were already hungry.

Just when everyone thought it was over, they would enter the next link, the first emperor feasted his ministers.

But at this moment, Prince Fusu stood up from the crowd.

"Enlighten my father, my son has something important to say."

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Quasi-play." ”

Fusu said to Ying Zheng: "Back to my father, now that the Great Qin treasury is full, it's time to adjust the officials' salaries." ”

When the civil and military officials heard this, they were immediately excited.

Is it finally their turn?

In fact, the income of the officials of Great Qin is not low at all, the lowest-level officials have 50 stones a year, and the prime minister's level has 10,000 stones.

But in the past, these were proper rich people, but now they can't.

Because their income is grain, and now the value of grain has depreciated, and no one even buys it.

For the current officials, if they don't have a family business, I'm afraid they won't be able to pay their subordinates now.

Turning grain into silver or copper coins was something that everyone wanted to mention early on, but no one dared to mention it, because the benefits that Qin An brought to their family were too huge, so they didn't need to care about that bit at all.

However, there are many officials who do not have a family business, and it is inconvenient for them to do business themselves, so their money can only feed their families, but they cannot buy other things.

For example, if they want to see a doctor, they need silver, and they only have food but no silver. It used to be possible to take grain instead of silver, but now it is not possible.

Now they can only sell the grain for money, and then use the money to do other things.

However, the value of grain has depreciated, and 50 stone of grain can be sold for 50 taels of silver, but now it can only be sold for 25 taels.

In Daqin, where prices are rising, these twenty-five taels of silver may only be able to eat a luxurious meal.

Therefore, for the officials at the bottom, their money is not to starve the whole family, but they can't have extra expenses.

Now as soon as they heard that the crown prince was going to adjust Yulu, everyone focused their attention on Fusu.

Originally, this group of ministers was very dissatisfied with the fact that Fusu spoke temporarily, because everyone was hungry.

But now it's different, now it's about their money, and if anyone stops Fusu now, then they will impeach him for being incomplete.

Ying Zheng bowed his head and said: "Since this matter was mentioned by the prince, then please ask the prince to tell me how it should be changed." ”
