Why Qin Shi Huang's unification of the six kingdoms is called the first great unified dynasty, because the unified Great Qin is the real empire of the central bloc system.

In the past, Zhou, Shang, Xia, etc., if strictly speaking, can only be said to be an alliance, or the king at that time was just the leader of the alliance.

Throughout history, all of them know that scholars are the easiest to rebel, so if the world is all scholars? Isn't it going to be a great chaos in the world?

At least that's what they, the gate valve families, think.

But now they can't stop it, or rather, the current Datang is no longer the Datang they can control, and the current Datang they feel that it is a real centralized empire.

At least in the eyes of these families who have read history, none of the past dynasties can concentrate the power of the emperor in the hands of the emperor.

And people from the outside are rarely able to influence and threaten.

But what makes them strange is that there is a clear high concentration of power, but it also gives people a sense of unprecedented openness, and the power of all the courtiers is almost the greatest in history.

This is very strange, obviously the power has been delegated to the ministers a lot, why does it still give people a feeling of high centralization?

But no matter what, they can't stop the progress of Datang now, that is to say, the world dare not say that they are all scholars, but at least everyone in the world has the right to study, has the right to participate in exams, and has the right to have the opportunity to become a prince above the court.

Therefore, these gate valve families have been coming and going frequently during this time, and family meetings are constantly being held, as for what they are discussing, in fact, Li Ke can guess it.

This is a common disease of human beings, you don't shed tears when you don't see a coffin. In fact, this kind of sign, or this sign of development, Li Ke can no longer be said to be all kinds of hints, it should be said that it has been put on the bright side.

As long as you are not a person with a problem with your IQ, you can actually expect such a thing to happen.

But there are many people who still don't want to believe it, and they still don't want to admit that this matter can be done by Li Ke.

In their opinion, it is too difficult to get everyone in the world to read.

And now it has been done by His Highness, and even ...... Or did they take the initiative to help achieve such a situation, the question is, did they have a choice in the first place?

No.

For the meetings of these families, Huo Gang once thought about reporting, but Li Ke waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to report for the time being, and waited for the national statistics to come out.

But the reaction of these families, in fact, the whole court, including Li Shimin and others, knew about it, but everyone tacitly did not take the initiative to mention it, and they were all waiting for Li Ke to see what he would do.

In other words, when this force gathered, whether Li Ke was ready or not.

Although Li Daozong once said that these gate valve families are not monolithic, they also have many internal contradictions, and there are also some conflicts of interest between various houses and branches within a family.

There is no need to think of them as too powerful, but in fact, if something starts to actually threaten their interests, literally puts a knife on their necks, and they start to be forced to protect themselves, they are actually passively united.

It is true that it is also difficult for them to act in unison, and it is also difficult for them to act together in connection with each other.

But when they are all passive, this kind of action is almost the same as uniting.

And what should Li Ke do with this force?

Yeting Palace, Li Ke and Li Yan are strolling here, the two of them have just gone to the Inner Servant Province, which is located at the southwest corner of the Yeting Palace.

Yeting Palace is located in the northwest corner of Taiji Palace, where palace maids and women from the families of criminal bureaucrats work and live.

The palace ladies mostly lived in the central area of the Yeting Palace, while the southwest was the office of the Inner Servant Province, that is, the headquarters of the eunuchs of the Tang Palace.

But the eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty were all well-read, and they were all very capable, and they were all serious officials.

The reason why I came to the Inner Service Province with Li Yan was mainly to take a look at the dozen or so little eunuchs who had recently been accepted into the Inner Service Province.

That's right, it was just brought in, and the palace of the Tang Dynasty no longer accepts eunuchs, at least the current one is the last batch, and the source of these new batches is also very simple.

It is the latest case investigated and handled by the Ministry of Public Security, and a new dental store has been discovered, including the owner of this dental shop, and the degree of criminal sentencing in this era is much higher than that of later generations.

Li Ke did not deal with this aspect, the times are different, and the standards of criminal law cannot be the same.

And there are seventeen or eighteen little eunuchs about twelve or thirteen years old in this tooth shop, and this is also the first time Li Ke knows that outside the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, or outside the ancient royal family, the slaves purchased by some big gate valve families actually have eunuchs.

Or, to be more precise, not a eunuch, but a eunuch. They are given some medications that can permanently cause the loss of male function.

Although there is no organ certain, what is the difference with a eunuch?

Importantly, this can avoid the risks of Datang Law.

Li Ke once again felt the saying that there are policies and countermeasures, or once again felt the boldness of these ancient gate valve families.

Eunuchs are resolutely not allowed to be used by ordinary people, only a certain number of eunuchs such as the royal family and princesses, and other people are not allowed to use them.

However, there are still imitations among the people, which are castration by drugs, and in fact, it is estimated that physical castration is no longer a few, but many have not been discovered.

Of course, Li Ke, as a person with vested interests, should probably not be sentenced to any criminal law simply because of the eunuch, after all, the revolution must first reform itself.

But who let these children in this dental store come from the wrong source, Datang has strictly forbidden the appearance of non-editorial households, and it is not possible to do it voluntarily, which makes the business of many dental shops difficult to do.

After all, if you want to get new slaves that are easy to sell, you have to go to Silla, Baekje and other places, how can it be convenient for those children from remote mountain villages to come?

These children were directly kidnapped, and the point is that even they don't know where these children's hometowns were originally located.

Although these children are eleven or twelve years old, many of the names of mountains and rivers in this era, the locals have their own names, which are not related to the official names at all, and these children have no knowledge, they don't know where they are.

These tooth dealers did not kidnap the children themselves, they were all traffickers. The fight against crime was done by the Ministry of Public Security, and the children were eventually sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
