Ji Heng didn't pay attention to Fusu's ugly face.

Since the first emperor let himself come out, he had to use his own way to explain his thoughts to Fusu.

Ji Heng sat solemnly, his mind was clear, and he said in a deep voice: "The first emperor asked me to take you out, and I won't hide my words today. ”

"As a result, the First Emperor was so focused on civilization and innovation that he neglected the very usual livelihood of the people."

"The law of the First Emperor is from the top down."

"Not with me."

"I actually decided very early on that the Great Qin would fall, the accumulation of shortcomings in China for thousands of years, and the centuries-old harshness of the Seven Kingdoms could not be reversed by simple system innovation, and in the end, we still had to rely on violence, counter violence with violence, and stop the war with soldiers."

"I'm a big believer in bottom-up."

"Whether it is the first emperor or the courtiers of Great Qin, they have long been accustomed to being high above and empty-eyed, and those 'Qiantou' at the bottom have long been lost in your eyes, and your people are 'common people', nobles, officials, heroes, and wealthy merchants."

"You can't feel the suffering of people's livelihood."

"I can't feel it."

"Therefore, the great policies of Great Qin are empty and difficult to implement, and they have always been resented by the people."

"But people are not cattle and horses."

"Don't die in silence, explode in silence."

"In the nine years since the founding of the Great Qin, I don't know how many people have died from fatigue, and I don't know how many people have died from the completion of the law, as more and more people's livelihoods are difficult to maintain, more and more people will not be able to survive, and more and more people will definitely rise up to express their dissatisfaction."

"The world has been suffering for a long time!"

"It's not a joke, it's a fact."

"Therefore, when I met with the First Emperor, I said that when the First Emperor's policy completely collapsed, it was when the bottom of the hierarchy rose up, and when the puppet rebelled and decided to be a man, his king was a puppet, and his ministers were mostly outlaws."

"It's a change of heaven."

"The world has been from top to bottom for thousands of years."

"If it is not accessible from the top down, it will promote life, and if it is poor, it will change, and if it changes, it will be long, and if God blesses it, there is no unfavorable situation, and the bottom-up road will be started."

"I was just speculating at first."

"But after seeing Shi Yue, I became more and more determined in my heart."

"Shi Yue's ability, sleek and capable, but he can only condescend to the pavilion chief, how many people in the world are like Shi Yue? And how many of them will be dissatisfied with the current status quo? ”

"At that time, as long as one person raises his arms and shouts, I am afraid that the world will instantly gather to respond, win food and follow."

"I'm not going to tell you anything."

"You just need to understand that there is no problem with the measures taken by the First Emperor back then, it is indeed a means to stabilize his rule, but it is not a long-term solution, and now nine years have passed, and Great Qin is still continuing the same situation as before, do you know what it means?"

"It means that except for the Qin people who have knighthoods, everyone else in the world has lost their room for growth."

"Not only the nobles of the Six Lands, the remnants of the Six Lands, but also the ordinary Qin people."

"Do you really think these people don't have an opinion?"

Fusu was silent.

How could he not understand?

But what can Daqin do?

Ji Heng said: "Throughout history, if you want to sit firmly in the world, you must try to expand and consolidate the ruling class, so that the people have the confidence and hope to participate in the empire, instead of being completely greedy and excessive, trying to completely make it a 'family world', even if it is a 'family world', at least to give the people the comfort of a 'country'." ”

"Daqin's system is fundamentally chaotic."

"From the very beginning, I only hoped that the heroes could help consolidate the world, but as I said earlier, the real hope for the good of the world has always been only the top and bottom, one cares about the rise and fall of the empire, and the other cares about his basic life."

"To hope in rentier is to deceive oneself."

"What Daqin really wants to do is to make officials mobile and have a stable promotion system, rather than the children of meritorious officials protecting each other."

"At the current level of Daqin County, because the emperor is far away, the imperial court is not effective, and there is a risk of getting out of control, if it continues for a few more years, the local area may not be lost, and the control of the imperial court over the world will only be lower."

"Daqin's county system, to a certain extent, is not suitable for Daqin."

Hear the words.

Fusu was stunned.

He said in a condensed voice: "What does Mr. Ji mean by this? ”

"Shouldn't Daqin be a county? But you were clearly very depreciative of the seals before. ”

Ji Heng said lightly: "There are not only counties and counties in the world, there are two systems, of course, the so-called counties and states stand side by side, I am not optimistic, Daqin has a lot of problems to solve at the moment, not only to save the people, but also to save the officials." ”

"Officials are the siblings of the court."

"The imperial court is ruled by basic officials."

"The top priority of the local government is actually to provide new room for the officials to rise, and to attach the hearts of the officials, when the counties were divided, some courtiers mentioned that the counties and the states were juxtaposed, which was actually a method, but this method was extremely risky, and it was easy for the local tail to be big, so it was not suitable."

"I've never admired it."

"Let me ask you, how did Qin Wei govern the world when he ruled the world?"

Fusu was stunned.

He thought about it seriously for a while, and said in a condensed voice: "It's no different from now, it's still the imperial court, the county, the county." ”

Ji Heng shook his head and said, "It's different, it was the Qin State at that time, and now it's the Great Qin." ”

"The boundaries between the two are completely different."

Fusu frowned.

He still couldn't understand it.

Ji Heng said slowly: "In the past, it was the court of the Qin State, below it was the county, then the county, and now it is the Great Qin court, to the county, to the county, can there be another 'country' in the middle, and this 'country' is governed by the three princes and nine secretaries and twelve officials of the imperial court, and the imperial court directly manages the officials of the three princes and nine secretaries, and then strengthens the control of the locality?" ”

"From the current two-level management of counties and counties, it has become the three-level management of counties and counties."

"This country can be replaced with words such as state and province."

"There are many rentiers in Daqin at the moment, and at this juncture of internal and external troubles, it is not suitable to use the knife against rentiers, so it can only expand the ruling class as much as possible, so as to give the low-level officials room to rise."

"When the situation in the world is settled, we can take the opportunity to cut rentiers and further strengthen the centralization of power."

"The establishment of provinces or states can also greatly improve administrative efficiency."

"In the past, the imperial court managed the thirty-six counties, what happened in the place, and when the imperial court knew about it, and then went down to the imperial decree, it took a very long time, and the response was very slow and slow, and when the imperial decree really continued, the situation was already serious, if it was a three-level management structure, when there was an incident in the locality, the provinces and prefectures could act first, and then send orders to the imperial court while seeking assistance from the surrounding provinces and states."

"Keep the situation to a minimum."

Hear the words.

Fusu's heart moved.

But he generally understood.

Ji Heng wanted to directly transfer the system of the Qin State in the past to the world, and divide the 36 counties under the world into several large provinces or prefectures, which were directly controlled by the imperial court, and then achieved effective control over the localities.

By adding a province (state), it provides room for the low-level officials to rise, and then stabilizes the low-level officials.

and took the opportunity to weaken the control of the sons of meritorious heroes and nobles over the locality.

Come to think of this.

Fusu has already moved a little.

This move will actually weaken the centralization of power to a certain extent, but Daqin can't control the local government at the moment, and this move is undoubtedly a strengthening of centralization compared to the current situation of Daqin.

For now, it is advantageous and harmless.

It's just that the steps are too big.

He really didn't have the confidence to convince the First Emperor.

Ji Heng understood Fusu's thoughts, and said coldly: "I'm just providing a point of view, it's impossible to implement it at the moment, Daqin already lacks officials, how can there be so many officials to fill it?" Moreover, one more level also means that the administrative costs of the imperial court will be spent more, which is not something that Great Qin can afford at the moment. ”

Hearing Ji Heng's words, Fusu woke up suddenly.

Da Qin's current county and county levels are still difficult to support, and if he adds another level, it will be even more difficult to support, but he secretly remembers it in his heart.

Daqin is indeed embarrassed at the moment, but when the construction of the Great Wall is completed and the roads, Sichuan defense and other fortifications are completed one after another, Daqin may not be able to save money and food, and may really be able to reform the system at that time.

He also had some headaches.

Because it's too expensive to spend money and food.

He looked at Ji Heng deeply a few times, and faintly realized it in his heart.

Ji Heng said earlier that it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, I am afraid that he was sincere, he actually had a strategy for the world for a long time, but he was suffering from Daqin's 'poverty', so he could only do some piecemeal things temporarily.

Come to think of this.

Fusu touched his nose, his face slightly embarrassed.

However, he was at peace in his heart, since Ji Heng had thought of it so far, he was afraid that he had already seen the current matter, and he had already made arrangements in his heart.

Fusu's eyes flickered, and he said slowly: "Mr. has a single eye on Daqin's new policy, but what does Mr. mean by not being regular enough and people's livelihood is not rooted?" ”

Ji Heng said: "Daqin lacks a policy of maintaining stability and stability, that is, a strategy of consolidating the foundation. ”

"Constant is flat, stable is stable, full is safe, warm is stable."

"Daqin's blind innovation without thinking about consolidating the foundation is naturally prone to turbulence."

"In recent years, Daqin's new policy has been vigorous and thunderous, but it is a little less sunny and drizzle."

"Daqin is too anxious to seek treatment, and the work is too much, it is bound to make the world turbulent, and the people have grievances, if they can be a little more lenient and a little slighter, maybe the world will be relatively stable."

"At least not like the sun."

"Sir, how do you think Da Qin should make up for it?" Fusu asked.

Ji Heng shook his head, he sighed lightly: "If it was two years earlier, there might be a chance to make amends, but now it is impossible, you can also dispel this idea as soon as possible, and now Daqin can only go all the way to the end." ”

"With tyranny, with domineering actions, the law of leaping forward, as soon as possible to sweep through this chaos."

"Then seek the rule of the world."

"Daqin is solid in Guanzhong, and the foundation of Guanzhong is to divide it into two points, that is, ploughing and fighting."

"In the ploughing battle, we must also continue to score two points."

"What Daqin can consolidate and want to consolidate now is only the most fundamental and core."

"It's hard for the rest of Daqin to take care of it."

"This core is a pawn!"
