"Zhong Heng has a performance." Ji Heng's back straightened, he arched his hand slightly, and spoke again.

Fusu raised his eyes, quickly returned to normal, and said, "Speak." ”

"The grass people believe that Your Majesty should be responsible for the reform of the government, and we are only supplemented by Your Majesty, and future system changes should also be promulgated by Your Majesty."

"That's the right way."

Ji Heng's voice was very clear, and the hall was also very quiet, and the two words he said clearly fell into the ears of hundreds of officials.

Everyone's faces changed slightly.

are all people who have been up and down in the court for many years, and they don't know Ji Heng's thoughts, if the reform government is fully handed over to Ji Heng to be responsible, no matter whether the reform is really going to be carried out in the end, the hundred officials have all kinds of ways to obstruct it, but if it becomes His Majesty responsible.

This is undoubtedly a lot more risky.

This Ji Heng clearly expected this, so he deliberately proposed it in the court, not without warning them.

Fusu's eyes closed slightly.

He glanced at Ji Heng deeply, his expression was uncertain, and after hesitating for a moment, he also figured out the key, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He bowed his head and said, "As it should be." ”

"Do you have any objections?" Fusu looked at the hundred officials below.

All the officials were silent.

What else can they say? His Majesty's attitude is so obvious, that is, he wants to entrust Zhong Heng with a heavy responsibility, and he will definitely not allow others to interfere and stop him at this time.

What's more, this is His Majesty's own willingness, how can they stop it.

However, from these words, they have already realized that this 'Zhong Heng' is not as simple as it seems, and they are also very wary of them.

If you dare to underestimate this person, I am afraid that you will suffer a big loss.

After this matter was decided, the court discussed some other matters, mainly the promotion of Kanto officials, and under the discussion of the Prime Minister's Office for many days, several special zones in the Kanto region had been decided.

It is clearly Jicheng, Handan, and Shouchun.

There are also several counties that will serve as the focus of the court, providing additional funds to speed up local recovery.

For Han Xin, Liu Ji and others, they were also rearranged, and Han Xin returned to Northern Xinjiang and served as the deputy general of the Beiyuan Army.

Liu Ji was an official of the court and concurrently served as the county guard of Shouchun.

Other officials have made arrangements.

Although not everyone is satisfied, it is relatively controversial, but everyone knows that whether it is the Special Administrative Region or various concurrent positions, it is only a temporary stability.

The real highlight is the restructuring.

Only by changing the existing system of Great Qin can the court free up redundant positions and place these officials who need to be promoted.

It's just how to change and how to be convincing, this is what Ji Heng needs to do.

There won't be much time left for him.

Ji Hengneng and so on.

Liu Ji and Xiao He may not be willing to wait any longer, because they can't wait for promotion space by waiting, and they can only be promoted if others retreat and are not preempted by the people in the prison.

And.

This is not Liu Ji and others waiting.

It's the whole Kanto.

Even a person like Liu Ji who has made great contributions can't be promoted to the center of the court, how can they, other officials in the Kanto region, have a chance?

After the dispersal of the dynasty.

Ji Heng was not in a hurry to leave.

Instead, he summoned Meng Yi, Zhang Cang and other officials of the Restructuring Mansion together, and he already knew in advance that the office of his Restructuring Mansion was the place of the Doctor's Palace in the past.

Therefore, under the guidance of Meng Yi and others, the group went straight to the old site of the Doctor's Palace, which is now empty.

Empty.

Zhang Cang held his hands and looked at Ji Heng curiously, he knew more than others, so he was even more curious about Ji Heng.

When the group went to the lakeside of the school, Zhang Cang couldn't help but speak: "Mr. Zhong, now that the restructuring mansion is starting, the personnel are not even, why are you in such a hurry to summon us and others?" ”

Ji Heng turned around, glanced at Zhang Cang a few times, looked at the wide figure, couldn't help laughing, then stopped smiling, and said lightly: "Naturally, it is a matter of discussing the restructuring." ”

"Huh? So fast! ”

Zhang Cang was a little stunned, now that the people in the restructuring mansion have not arrived, and they don't even know each other, so they began to discuss the restructuring?

Isn't that too hasty?

Ji Heng said with a smile: "There are so many things in the world that are planned in advance, they are all improvised, and they are all played on the spot, and they will not decide anything this time, I just want to ask you for your opinions and opinions on the restructuring." ”

"Also."

"I just want to hear why you are preventing the restructuring, I want to know the reasons and reasons."

Hearing Ji Heng's words, everyone was stunned, they didn't expect Ji Heng to be so straightforward, let alone so straightforward.

The people looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Ji Heng's face was indifferent, he looked at Meng Yi, and said, "You used to be the captain of the Great Qin Court, in charge of the law, and you are more familiar with the Great Qin Decree, so I don't embarrass you too much." ”

"It's not too hard for all of you."

"This time I will only focus on one thing, what do you think is the resistance to the abolition of the lifelong system of officials, and why do you think it will be blocked."

Meng Yi's face condensed slightly.

He glanced at Ji Heng deeply, his expression was very serious, he really didn't expect Ji Heng to be so sharp.

Ask such a sharp question as soon as you come.

Abolish the hereditary bureaucracy.

Meng Yi pondered for a moment and said slowly: "In my opinion, it should be a concept, the world official system is deeply rooted and has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and if you want to change, it is undoubtedly necessary to change the concept of the people of the world." ”

"You can imagine how difficult it is."

"Another ......"

Meng Yi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The attraction of power to people is too great, not many people can resist the temptation, and if they want to abolish the secular official system, they are almost on the opposite side of the officials in the world. ”

"Difficult!"

Ji Heng nodded.

He then looked at Zhang Cang.

Zhang Cang stroked his beard, did not rush to speak, and after thinking for a while, he said slowly: "The real difficulty lies in the benefits brought by power. ”

"As an official."

"The annual salary that can be obtained is very high, once retired, except for a few officials, they will be given preferential treatment by the court, and most officials can only live on the original land, or rely on savings."

"And it's hard to go from luxury to frugality."

"There is a big gap in it, and it is not something that ordinary people can bear, so if I want the officials to agree, at least give some preferential treatment."

"Otherwise......"

"The officials who will only provoke are all opposed."

Ji Heng looked at Zhang Cang deeply, and didn't think that Meng Yi had told Zhang Cang everything, and they probably still had reservations.

Don't dare to really tell it.

Seeing Ji Heng staring at him like this, Zhang Cang's heart was also a little hairy, but his face was not red and his heart was not beating, so he let Ji Heng watch.

Ji Heng looked at Chen Ping.

Chen Ping looked at Meng Yi and Zhang Cang, and then at Ji Heng, with a hint of struggle in his eyes, and finally decided to say it.

"There is some truth in the words of the two officials just now, but they are standing too high, and for the vast majority of the small officials in the world, many of them will not live to that time."

"And the abolition of the secular official system is also conducive to the circulation of officials in Daqin, so that they will not be artificially blocked, and people will have no way to enter."

"Assuming that there are really local officials who can live until they retire peacefully, they will face a problem, that is, people will go to tea and cool."

"It's not just about careers."

"More in the fields."

"Without that clothes, I will lose the protection of the government, and I will definitely be targeted and retaliated against by many people in the past."

"Therefore, for the local officials, it is not unwilling, but they do not dare."

"With the current situation in the world, there is no doubt that people's life expectancy will increase a lot, and perhaps in the future, there will be many officials who can reach that age."

"But then what?"

"Everything is deprived."

Then.

Xiao He chimed in: "Actually, the most important thing is the title. ”

"The Great Qin system is closely related to the title, and there is a world of difference between having a lord and not having a knight, not only in clothing, food, housing and transportation, but also in law."

"It's more reflected in the career."

"The "Annals of Internal History" stipulates that when the government appoints adjutants, it must use people who are above the prime of life, and cannot appoint soldiers who have just entered the household registration and do not have a title."

"That is, except for Zuo, you must be strong and above, and you will not be able to remove the new master of Shiwu."

"The highest is to be a little lower than the county, the official rank is three hundred stones, and then up, it is impossible, and when this kind of person has an official position, many times when he does something wrong, he will be lightly punished, but once he retreats, they are not as good as those who have knights."

"It's too difficult to get a knighthood in the world now."

"It will only get more and more difficult in the future, and the situation of the officials at the bottom will actually be very embarrassing in the future, because most of them are unknighted."

"No lord means that there is no extra land, and if you retire without the supplement of your rank, your family will undoubtedly be very embarrassed, and your status is low, and you can't compare to those powerful businessmen who donate money to get knights."

"Over time, my heart will become more and more unbalanced."

"In this case, it can only exacerbate the occurrence of ink greed."

Hear the words.

Meng Yi and Zhang Cang were silent.

Xiao He actually said it very implicitly.

Qin Law stipulates that after those with titles violate the law, the sentencing will be much more lenient, and those with titles can see officials without worship, and the punishment for crimes committed by those without titles will also be very low, which is actually what Qin Law intended.

It is to always remind the superiors of the sense of superiority and aggravate the inferiority of the people at the bottom, but if the secular official system is abolished, the officials who were originally high above will be beaten back to their original shape, and many people will not be able to bear it.

Especially after retreating, if you offend others in the officialdom, you will be deliberately targeted, you will have no countermeasures at all, and there will be the impact of various economic interests.

All kinds of factors, in the end, no one wants to take off this clothes, because there are so many things that most people can't accept when they take off and lose.

Ji Heng nodded.

He knew that several people were right.

It's just that the groups facing are different, Meng Yi and Zhang Cang are relatively well-off, and they don't care much about retreating, even after retreating, no one in the DPRK dares to underestimate them.

But the local officials are different.

In the end, it can only exacerbate local corruption, or laziness and neglect of government.

And for all this, in Ji Heng's view, it is an influencing factor.

It's a knighthood!!

Daqin's title is too important.

It was only with this rebellion that the Kwantung officials had the possibility to continue to climb up, but such opportunities were few and will become less and less frequent in the future.

And the key to abolishing the world officials should also fall on the knighthood.

He wanted to rebuild the knighthood system. (End of chapter)
