Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 232 The same text, the same track, the same system

"The world has been in turmoil for hundreds of years, all because the princes have stood side by side, thanks to the protection of the ancestors. Now the world is pacified and the kingdoms are restored. It is to build soldiers. Seeking peace in this way is different from the opposite. What Ting Wei said is very true. "The first emperor said slowly: "Mr. Chang'an deeply understands the righteousness and initiative to donate soil, and his military exploits are outstanding. He issued an order to designate Chang'an Junzi Ying as the king of the town, and allowed him to open the mansion. Every year, he will be honored by all the princes. The fiefdom of Raoyang was changed to Raoyang. county.

If it is said that Ziying's request just made the officials inconceivable, Zhao Zheng's words made everyone in the hall stunned.

First, he agreed with Li Si's opinion, and he would not confer the princes as kings to herd and guard the Quartet. Then he changed the subject and promoted Ziying to be king. Under the premise that none of the princes can be crowned king, how could Ziying's Chang'an king be king? It is not the only prince who is under one person and above ten thousand people.

But speaking of it, even if Ziying was made king, Zhao Zheng still felt that he owed him a lot, and the title of Lord Chang'an could be said to have been inherited from him.

However, although some people don't know about Ziying's achievements, Zhao Zheng is very clear about it.

First designed to prevent Qi and Zhao from forming an alliance, then rescued Wang Jian and defeated Li Mu's army;
Immediately after that, he destroyed the alliance of the four countries of Qi and Chu in the Yan Dynasty, and warned in advance when Jing Ke assassinated Qin;

Burn the city of Ji and destroy the country of Yan;

Flooded girders pacified Wei;

Plan to destroy Chu, and decide Dongyue alone.

There are so many pieces of land in the huge world that more than half of the land has Ziying's plan, and each piece is enough to be named a marquis and a prime minister.

Moreover, his younger brother, Ziying's father, Cheng Yu, still stood firmly on his side under Lu Buwei's overwhelming power back then, and was finally forced to leave the country of Zhao for himself and died in a foreign land.

I didn't do anything for Ziying, but their father and son paid too much for Daqin one after another. In the final analysis, I owed their father and son.

Feng Ziying is the king, but it is a little bit of compensation.

However, Ziying didn't feel much psychological fluctuation after hearing it. "The King of Town" just sounds a little nicer, and it doesn't have much use.

I have already handed over the only piece of fief, so this prince does not have a vast fief and a huge army like the princes of later generations.

In fact, compared with the previous Lord Chang'an, the current king of the town is not as good as the previous Lord Chang'an except for his name, which is more domineering.

It is said that the title is below one person and above ten thousand people, but before Ziying's Chang'an Jun title was originally a title under one person and above ten thousand people.

In the future, if there is no longer a king or a king, no matter whether it is the Chang'an Lord or the Zhen King, anyway, he is alone, and there is really no big difference except that it sounds good.

The only good thing is that Shihuang mentioned that the government was allowed to open.

The right to open a mansion belongs exclusively to senior officials such as the Sangong and the General. Although Ziying does not have an official position, as long as Shihuang allows him to have the right to open a mansion, he can open a mansion to set up officials and handle some affairs .

In this way, at least some of the staff who follow him can also give them an arrangement.

Although Ziying felt that he was of little practical use, in the eyes of the courtiers, even a king with no fief, no army, and no real power was still a prince, which was indeed a great honor.

"Ziying thank Your Majesty Long En." Although Ziying himself felt that it was useless, Ziying also understood that this was Zhao Zheng's compensation for his military achievements, so he immediately bowed down with a big bow.

"My minister is willing to be the sword of the Great Qin, and live up to the name of 'Zhengguo'. If there is a Xiao Xiao, I will be the emperor's forerunner!"

"Okay, I hope that the King of Zhen can be the sword of Daqin as he said!" After hearing Ziying's oath, Zhao Zheng was also full of joy. Able to become the existence of the Great Qin Pillar.

Although his eldest son Fusu is benevolent, if Ziying is there to help him, even if he jumps around for a night or two, it will be fine.

It would be great if Ziying was his son, then he would not need to worry about the heir.Zhao Zheng thought about it for a while.

"If there is nothing wrong, today's court meeting will end here!" The major event of implementing the county system has been set, and all the goals of today's court meeting Zhao Zheng have been achieved.

"Report to Your Majesty, Ziying still has something to say!" However, Ziying, who had just been conferred the title of prince, stood up and said aloud.

Not only did Ziying propose that the title of emperor should be adopted by Shihuang, but he was also conferred the title of prince. This was the focus of the palace, and this statement immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The king of this town, is there anything else.

Ziying unhurriedly took out a roll of bamboo slips from his bosom and handed it to the eunuch standing under the hall.

"Today, at the beginning of the Great Qin Dynasty, we set the four directions. However, the languages ​​of various countries are different, the tracks of vehicles are different, the roads are different in width and narrowness, and the standards for buying grain and grass are even more different. I have four suggestions after hard thinking and meditation. I hope your Majesty will take care of it." Ziying respectfully Said respectfully.

What Ziying mentioned was the same text of books, the same track of cars, and the unified weights and measures in history. These differences caused a lot of troubles in the early days of Qin's unification.

Historically, after discovering these inconveniences within a year or two after reunification, they were unified one by one. Now that Ziying came here as a time traveler, naturally he would not wait until these problems caused troubles before correcting them one by one, so he mentioned them all at once. come out.

The reason why it is said to be four opinions is that Ziying added another opinion in addition to these three.

In the memorandum presented to the first emperor, he elaborated on his own suggestion, and the important ministers in the hall also understood what Ziying's opinion was after hearing Ziying's words just now.

Those who can sit in high positions are not dull people, and the first emperor is the master of great talent and strategy. The reason why they haven't realized the importance of these points is just because the world is unified, and they need to consider too many things. However, the drawbacks in these aspects have not yet been reflected, so they have not been noticed.

Now that Ziying mentioned it, His Majesty immediately understood the importance of Ziying's suggestions from top to bottom.

The text is different, which one to use to convey the document, and the different track in the past led to the different width of the roads in various countries. Naturally, the width of the hard ruts accumulated over time is also different, which is naturally inconvenient to walk; as for the measurement units are different. , it will be even more troublesome, which standard will be used to collect taxes at that time.

If it is not resolved in advance, it will be troublesome at that time.

It's a bit embarrassing for a young man under 20 to bring up something that the ministers of the palace have not thought of, but it can also be seen that the king of the town is definitely not a vain name, but has real materials.

"The king of Zhen's three proposals in advance are very lofty. He ordered Yousi to immediately set the standard and implement it in the world. What is the reason for the fourth proposal of 'abolishing family names and establishing surnames'." Shihuang asked with some doubts.

The courtiers didn't know until this meeting that Ziying's proposal contained a clause of "abolishing family names and establishing surnames".
