I lead the system to tease the First Emperor to build infrastructure

When Zhao Jun took a sip of hot tea, he felt sober in an instant.

Ying Zheng also drank tea for the first time and thought it tasted quite good.

"Okay, I'm satisfied. Now I have time to talk to the king about what happened just now."

Ying Zheng put down his teacup and looked at her with his arms propped up.

He wanted to know what Jun Zhao would think differently.

"Your Majesty just asked whether the enfeoffment system is better than the county system."

"Then my answer is of course impossible, how is it possible."

At any rate, she understands history, and the prefecture and county system of the Qin Dynasty can be regarded as creating an era.

Including modern provinces and counties also began to have prototypes from here.

"Can't the disadvantages of the enfeoffment system be seen from the centuries-long war? The prosperity of the Zhou Dynasty is the enfeoffment system, and the death of the Zhou Dynasty is also the enfeoffment system."

"When the feudal families no longer have awe in each other a hundred years later, won't it turn into the current situation where several families are fighting for hegemony and fighting endlessly."

Zhao Jun felt that what she said was very objective. Why do many people still think that the enfeoffment system is good? She thinks those people are mentally ill.

Of course, these words are a bit too extreme.

"The widow thinks so too."

Ying Zheng strongly agreed.

What Zhao Jun said just now is what he thinks in his heart.

In his mind, the system of prefectures and counties is the system that Qin will eventually implement.

It's just that the debate in the court during this period of time always made him a little puzzled.

He didn't know what those who encouraged enfeoffment thought, but he firmly believed that the system of prefectures and counties would not change.

Now that Zhao Jun said so, it can be regarded as poking his heart.

Sure enough, she is the one who understands people's hearts best in this world.

Ying Zheng smiled with satisfaction.

But Zhao Jun hasn’t finished speaking yet.

Now that she has already started to talk about this issue, she will also talk about some things that she was going to say before.

"In my opinion, the enfeoffment system cannot be implemented, so let's talk about the advantages of the county system."

"Its greatest advantage is that it centralizes power at the center and achieves effective control over the localities. This is summed up in the turmoil caused by enfeoffment."

"However, there are also disadvantages to implementing a single county system."

Zhao Jun is familiar with history, and of course knows the shortcomings of the county system.

Ying Zheng was very interested in this and listened to her talk carefully.

"In my opinion, there is one most important shortcoming, and it is also the biggest problem for you, Your Majesty, to implement the county system after you unify the six kingdoms."

"That is, there are no people, not enough officials and petty officials."

Ying Zheng frowned, he also thought of this problem, but is it as serious as she said?

"Let's talk about this in detail. First of all, there should be a lot of counties and counties to be divided after the unification of the six countries, and various things may happen in the early days of the founding of the country, and the demand for manpower is great."

"Although we have a large population, how many people can read and write?"

"My lord, have you thought about this question?"

Ying Zheng was silent.

As far as his understanding of Qin is concerned, it is not much, or even less.

Zhao Jun continued.

"This is one of the points. In addition, our state of Qin uses Qin Wen, but the written language used by several other countries is completely different from ours, so the officials used in these counties need to be from the state of Qin. There are not enough manpower.”

Ying Zheng already understood what she meant, and also understood the difficulty.

"If that's the case, don't there be people in other countries who understand Qin Wen?"

Ying Zheng doesn’t think so.

"Of course there are. These people are the local aristocratic families in those countries. Only such people can have the opportunity to study, right?"

"Then now I'm back to your question just now. What will happen if all the officials under the county system are in the hands of these aristocratic families left over from the original country?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Jun couldn't help but think of a joke he saw on the Internet in modern times.

What it means is that Qin Shihuang spent all his efforts to unify the six countries, but in the end it was still the aristocratic families of the six countries that held power. Was this the unification of the six countries for Qin?

Now Zhao Jun is looking at this sentence from the perspective of Ying Zheng and Qin, and he is simply full of anger.

Who said it wasn't, Qin Shihuang was a pure and innocent person who made wedding dresses for others.

Out of anger, Zhao Jun patted the table hard and took a sip of hot tea.

Ying Zheng was not startled by the sound of her slapping the table, but was absorbed in what she had just said.

Ying Zheng is a very smart person, otherwise he wouldn't be able to achieve what he is today, and he can understand the consequences of this matter with just a little thought.

but……

"In this case, they may not obey the rule of a few people in their hearts, and corruption may occur."

"But the widows believe that even if they have resentment in their hearts, they dare not show it."

"And if you don't use these people, who else is available?"

The former sentence is his confidence in his own rule, while the latter sentence is a very realistic issue.

"Well, your Majesty, you are right. These people may not dare to do anything when faced with your Majesty's rule, but that may not be the case when it comes to other people."

Zhao Jun's words are a bit cryptic, but in history, after the death of the first emperor, these people did jump out immediately.

"More than that, these people really don't dare to show it, but it's certain that they don't care. These people may hate you to death in their hearts, and of course they won't really help you work, and the lives of the people below will be even more messed up. gone."

She felt that what she said was very pertinent.

"In this case, the role of the county system in strengthening the power of the central government will be greatly reduced."

"So I think the enfeoffment system will definitely not be implemented. How to implement and improve the prefecture and county system is more important."

After such a long list, her answer is like this.

The more Ying Zheng thought about it, the more she felt that what she said made sense.

It is certain that she supports the county system, but she did not expect that she has gone from a simple choice to how to improve the county system.

At least the dispute between the two parties in the court has been concluded.

"The widow understands what you mean, you are right."

Ying Zheng sighed, feeling that it was the right thing to start tonight's conversation.

Zhao Jun really gave himself a lot of ideas.

"Then how do you think it should be perfected?"

He wondered how many surprising thoughts she had in mind.

Zhao Jun raised his eyes to look at him, took another sip of tea, it was a little cold.

"I do have some ideas, but it can't be said to be the improvement of the county system, I just think it should be something that must be done."

"As the king asked before, if we don't use the people left by the family, it seems that we have no one to use."

She had already answered Ying Zheng's question about enfeoffing counties.

The talent issue that finally emerged was what she wanted to discuss with Ying Zheng.
