Chapter Seventy-Five: A Boring Political Struggle
"Accurate!"
The First Emperor pondered for a moment and nodded.
In fact, Dongyi is not a problem, but Daqin's offshore business is in full swing, and it is time to plant the banner of Daqin all over the coastal waters.
Dongyi is widely distributed in the northeast and the coastal area, and after the potato is available, the northeast area and the coastal area will sooner or later be the object of the Great Qin's conquest.
"The other is the scientific research funding of the Craftsman Bureau......" Zhao Si looked at the First Emperor.
"You can distribute it yourself and withdraw it from the gold and silver transported back by the Aviation Trade Army." The First Emperor nodded.
Zhao Si nodded happily.
Obviously, because of Zhao Si's deliberate guidance, the First Emperor has paid more attention to the craftsman bureau.
Zhao Si's ultimate goal was, of course, to make the craftsman bureau independent, but now that artillery can only shoot three feet, and steel smelting can only be used for agriculture, it is too early to talk about this.
After painting the flatbread for the First Emperor, the goal was achieved, and by the way, he chatted with the First Emperor for a while.
It was not until the first emperor opened his mouth to release him that Zhao Si left the palace and went straight to the Xianyang County Mansion.
At present, among the Xianyang County Mansions, Xiao He serves as the county commander, Zhou Bo serves as the county governor, and Cao Shen serves as the county lieutenant.
Of course, in the end, it depends on the officials.
There is no shortage of elderly officials in the Xianyang County Government, nor is there a shortage of sneaky and slippery people, and there is no shortage of lackeys and eyeliner of the nobles.
Xianyang City is the political center of the whole world, even if it is a county government, the turmoil in it is by no means inferior to that of a county.
However, Xiao He is still Xiao He in the end.
After all, it is Wang Zuozhicai, not to mention that Xiao He and Zhou Bo Cao Shen have helped, and they are not alone.
The three of them were born in the same place, they were originally colleagues, they have cooperated for many years, they have tacit understanding, and they are all Wang Zuozhicai, the three of them work together, and it only took half a year to clarify all the affairs of the Xianyang County Government, and the officials of the entire Xianyang County Government are all obedient.
After clarifying the county government, Xiao He began to deal with the old cases piled up in Xianyang County, and in one month, he dealt with all the old cases, doubtful cases, unsolved cases, and unclear matters accumulated in the entire Xianyang City.
Because the Xianyang County Government is the center of the world, although the public security is better than other regions, but there are more high-ranking and powerful people, and the county government is more difficult to do.
Of course, part of Xiao He's confidence in impartially enforcing the law and not being afraid of power was given by Zhao Si.
Zhao Si stepped into the Xianyang County Government, and Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Zhou Bo greeted each other.
"Shangqing!"
Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Zhou Bo saluted together.
"No need to be polite." Zhao Si waved his hand, knelt down, sat down and said with a smile.
"At present, Xianyang's government affairs are clear, you have won a good reputation not long after taking office, and you can do so many things in such a short time, and now it seems that it is somewhat condescending to let you serve as a county talent."
Xiao He shook his head when he heard the sound and said, "The Qin law is already perfect enough, I just govern Xianyang in strict accordance with the Qin law, and there is nothing commendable. ”
"Why should you tell me anything? There's something going on with you this time. Zhao Si waved his hand.
Xiao He believes that it is very important for Zhao Si to stand behind him to shelter from the wind and rain, but Xiao He's personal ability is also undoubted.
Perhaps it was because of this time and space that Zhao Si gave Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Zhou Bo too high a starting point, so that the three of them were a little too modest.
"Please show me down." Xiao He nodded.
"Your Majesty's relocation is a reminder, you should know, I think about it, and you are the only one who can properly handle these things." Zhao Si looked at Xiao He and the others.
Xiao He pondered for a moment and nodded, and asked, "Is it only for the nobles in the migration pass or the entire Xianyang?" ”
"Don't implement the world ...... for the time being," Zhao Si shook his head.
"The difficulty of this implementation of the calculation is that the nobles will inevitably hide their family assets, transfer goods, and even the carriages and horses will be secretly reduced.
In addition, although the foundation of the migrated nobles is no longer Guanzhong, but between the nobles, there are mutual in-laws, the nobles have migrated for several months, the wealth of the children of Wang Ling has been widely known, and now the migrating nobles have secretly not known how many wealthy families have established contacts, and there are many children in the family who are officials in Guanzhong, regardless of the upper and lower resistance.
However, you don't need to worry about the pressure from above, just let it go, just do things according to Qin's laws, and the officials and officials may not do their best, I will let Fan Hao lead the fifty feather Lin army to obey your orders, and be sure to handle the matter properly. ”
Xiao He nodded.
Zhao Si explained that he was willing to take the blame for them, so what they needed to deal with was nothing more than the small means of hiding goods and transferring assets to nobles, so that the pressure was actually not so great, not to mention that there were still fifty Yu Lin troops to obey his orders.
The Fifty Feather Forest Army may not be strong, but the Feather Forest Army specializes in guarding the palace ban, which is an attitude.
"Have faith?" Zhao Si asked.
"It's not hard." Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Zhou Bo looked at each other and shook their heads with a smile.
"It's just that in this way, the lord is afraid that his reputation will be burdened by us." Cao Shen also smiled.
……
Under Zhao Si's instructions, the Xianyang County Government launched an operation.
On the same day, under Xiao He's order, the county government began to post announcements throughout Xianyang City to publicize it.
The Confession is a supplement to the Counting, not a separate decree.
That is, to encourage denunciation to be untrue. If the accusation is found to be true, all the property of the defendant shall be confiscated and a fine of one year shall be imposed, and the informant shall be rewarded with half of the confiscated property.
Because of the high rewards, some people began to accuse merchants of hoarding goods and not paying taxes truthfully on the same day.
Of course, it's just the middle level reporting to each other.
The upper nobility had their own playground and rules.
The first to suffer were middle-level nobles and small and medium-sized businessmen, because the focus was not on them, so Xiao He, Zhou Bo, Cao Shen and the three chose to deal with it lightly.
At this time, the three of them were still able to maintain a good reputation, at most they only suffered some small criticism, and the middle and lower-class aristocratic businessmen did not have the connections to impeach Xiao He and a few people.
As time went on, the calculation continued to be implemented, and after the first wave of whistleblowing, middle- and lower-class aristocratic businessmen began to take the initiative to pay taxes because of harsh punishments, and there were fewer and fewer reports.
The first wave of whistleblowing quickly passed.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao He followed Zhao Si's instructions and came to Wang's house to perform a big show.
Xiao He entered the Wang family and took the initiative to carry out the calculation.
There were more than a dozen carts of Qin Qian pulled out from Wang's house that day.
It's incredible.
After all, Wang Jian is the only marquis of Great Qin, and Wang Qian's initiative to cooperate with everyone knows that this is a play, but everyone is also clear about the first emperor's determination to implement the calculation.
After the Wang family, the Xiang family and the Yu family took the initiative to ask the county government to enter the house.
It was again several cars of Qin Qian that were constantly pulled out.
With the end of the big play, Xiao He officially raised the butcher's knife against the migrating nobles.
And what followed was an endless stream of impeachments.
The reputation of Xiao He and the others took a sharp turn for the worse, and Zhao Si's previous good reputation also became disastrous because of this.
Among them, it is not only the relocation nobles who have contributed to their efforts, but even the nobles in the customs have many people waving their flags and shouting.
Of course, their impeachment was only against Xiao He, Zhou Bo, Cao Shen, not against the decree.
The prestige of the First Emperor is beyond doubt, and the nobles of the Great Qin period did not dare to attack the calculations promulgated by the First Emperor himself, but there are policies and countermeasures.
After all, the implementation of policies depends on people, and as long as no one implements them, the so-called holy decree is just a piece of waste paper.
They started with Xiao He's private morality, and at the same time began to attack Zhao Si's unknown people.
In short, it is to try to kick down the executor of the calculation.
No one wants to pay......
As for the nobles in the pass who waved the flag and shouted, it was pure cold lips and teeth.
No one can say whether the First Emperor will stop the turmoil at the relocation of nobles.
Or will the First Emperor restart it again in the future? After all, the calculation has been written into Qin Law, and when it will be implemented is a matter of one sentence.
The overwhelming impeachment of the First Emperor was piled up.
In the palace......
Zhao Si was assisting the First Emperor in handling official business.
Recently, there have been too many official documents of impeachment, and it is impossible for the First Emperor to read them one by one, and Zhao Si's task is to pick out the official documents of impeachment and present the official documents of specific words and events to the First Emperor.
The First Emperor leaned back on the chaise longue leisurely, while Amber accepted the First Emperor's touch helplessly on the side.
Zhao Si knelt down in front of the desk and opened the official documents.
"It's impeachment again, does Your Majesty want to hear it?" Zhao Si looked at the First Emperor.
"Whose impeachment?"
"Mine."
The First Emperor was rarely interested and said with a smile: "Read it and listen to it." ”
"Shangqing Zhao Si ......"
Zhao Si finished reading the impeachment of himself word by word, and praised the other party's writing.
It is worthy of being learned, and he can also quote scriptures and classics to borrow ancient metaphors for the present.
Well...... The probably content is to impeach Zhao Si for being a secretary but not respectful enough, relying on the proximity and trust of the first emperor to be arrogant because of this......
There is nothing specific about, because Zhao Si really didn't do anything wrong, so he can only personally attack Zhao Si.
The First Emperor laughed dumbly when he heard this, and then glanced at Zhao Si, who was bored and had lost his integrity, and said: "It's not wrong to impeach, you, as the secretary, are so slack ...... state affairs."
Zhao Si hurriedly sat upright when he heard the sound, with a normal face.
When the First Emperor saw it, he really looked like a dog, and he smiled.
"Okay......"
The First Emperor waved his hand.
"Who's on it?"
"Waiting for Dr. Su Jin."
"Proposed purpose, to transfer Dr. Zhao Su Wei as the county commander of Longchuan County, and to divide and compile Baiyue to educate the barbarian people." The First Emperor pondered for a moment.
Longchuan County is located in Lingnan.
Although the food and food of the doctor and the county order are almost the same, and the rights are greater than that of the county order of the doctor of the emperor, they are from the central government to the land of Lingnan...... It can definitely be regarded as a bright rise and a dark fall, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is exile.
"If Your Majesty's will is issued, there will only be more twists and turns to impeach the ministers." Zhao Si looked at the First Emperor with a bitter expression.
"I sent him to lead Longchuan's important affairs......" The First Emperor glanced at Zhao Si strangely.
He had an impression of Dr. Zhao, Su Jin, who was capable of doing practical things.
Zhao Tuo has been in Lingnan now, and the First Emperor originally planned to change a group of people in Lingnan.
Su Wei belonged to the Ming Ascend and Secretly descended, but there was no way, who made him unlucky, which happened to make the First Emperor think of his name.
It is not so much that Zhao Si punished Su Jin, but that Su Su was not alive and tidy, and the first emperor gave him a small warning.
"Then I won't lose more......" Zhao Si frowned when he heard this, but he could only honestly study ink for the First Emperor.
Having said that, with the mandatory implementation of the calculation, as the main person in charge of the calculation, the mention of Zhao Si's twists and turns began to gradually increase.
Of course, everyone is aware of the first emperor's closeness to Zhao Si, so most of the twists and turns of Zhao Si are tentative.
It is nothing more than a vague indication that some of Zhao Si's behaviors are suspected of being out of order, and even more obscure things simply do not mention Zhao Si, but use the past as a metaphor for the present.
For example, in the past, a certain king was too close to a certain minister, and ignored the emperor's majesty, so that the courtiers became arrogant and did not take national affairs seriously, so what kind of consequences were caused.
To put it bluntly, it's in that yin and yang.
Not to mention, there are quite a few twists and turns of this type.
Zhao Si has watched a lot in the past few days, and all of them seem to pass his time as small stories.
But for now, the First Emperor is definitely a competent boss, and he chooses to turn a blind eye to the gossip, or even ignore it at all.
There are more twists and turns against Zhao Si, not to mention the twists and turns against Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Zhou Bo.
Compared with the obscurity and temptation against Zhao Si, Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Zhou Bo are nothing more than Zhao Si's wings in the eyes of most people, and they exist dependent on Zhao Si, so they are even more unscrupulous.
At every turn, his heart can be punished.
At every turn, it is an official who is not right.
Or it's the moth of the country.
In short, the political struggle in ancient times was, to put it bluntly, just like that.
It is nothing more than using various means to make a first emperor suspicious of Zhao Si, so the monarch and ministers are estranged......
As long as the First Emperor had the slightest distrust and suspicion of Zhao Si, a large number of people would inevitably flock to Zhao Si and push Zhao Si to fall from the position of being close to the minister.
It's a bit like courtship between animals.
Kick others down, and then open the peacock screen yourself to attract the king's attention and gain a close position.
It's boring.
Zhao Si watched the First Emperor finish writing the holy decree and continued to repeat it to assist the First Emperor in handling official business.
It wasn't until night fell that the official documents that were pulled out of the trash talk were finally dealt with.
The rest is a thick pile of impeachments that add up to a book.
"Take it and burn it......"
The First Emperor waved his hand.
A hint of discoloration flashed in Zhao Si's eyes.
"The progress of the calculation is faster, and before the autumn, we must compete for all the work." The First Emperor's eyes narrowed slightly.
