Qin Shi Mingyue's infinite punch card

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng said: "Aiqing has thought about it properly and has a heart."

Li Si cupped his hands and said: "I just did what I should do, and it's just some simple thoughts. If there are any omissions, please forgive me."

Ying Zheng said: "What you said just now is very detailed, let's make it so for the time being, and announce this matter in public at the court meeting, and then you will start to implement it immediately."

"promise."

Li Si responded, and then said: "Your Majesty, apart from the reform of the imperial system, I think there is another thing that is very important."

"What's the matter?"

Ying Zheng asked a question.

Li Si replied: "Although the six countries in Shandong belong to Daqin now, each place has its own characters and coins. And hundreds of years have passed, and each has produced its own culture. If these coexist, there will be Caused a lot of trouble."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng also nodded slightly.

The seven countries are very different in many aspects. It didn't matter if they were independent in the past, but now they have been unified. If there is no harm in running in, there will definitely be many contradictions.

This is not just an inconvenience in life, it will have a negative impact on the development of the entire country.

One of the most critical points is the inability to unify the mind.

Text, language, coins, weights and measures are all things closely related to life.

They will subtly affect a person's thinking.

When a country has its own ideological civilization and way of life, it can be regarded as a complete country.Will show a strong cohesion.

In contrast, the Qin State has now unified the world. If it continues to maintain some of the original things, it will only hinder the integration of various places.

If those people all use the original country's characters and coins, how can they identify with Daqin?

If you can't get approval, even if you conquer all the land by yourself, the hearts of the people in the world will not truly submit.

The hearts of the people cannot be united, so can the so-called great unification really count as unification?

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, obviously thinking about something, Li Si's words reminded him.

Although there is only Daqin in this land now, there are still many aspects that have not been unified.

For example, writing, not to mention between different countries, even the same country has more than one writing.

This not only seriously affects cultural exchanges, but also prevents the unification of people's hearts. If measures are not taken in time, it will be very troublesome.

In addition, the currencies of various countries are also very inconsistent. The shapes, sizes, and weights of currencies are different. The calculation units are extremely inconsistent, and conversion is very difficult.

As for the system of weights and measures, it is also quite chaotic, which is mainly caused by the fact that the princes and states minted their own currencies and established their own standards of weights and measures.

But now these problems fell on him, the first emperor, and he had to think of a solution.

But at this moment, his expression changed, as if he had thought of something.Then he took the scroll placed aside and opened it again.

Looking at the poem written by Ye Chen himself, his gaze stayed on the second sentence, and he whispered to himself: "Measure the text and establish counties and counties, and one emperor through the ages is called the first emperor!"

Before, his main attention was on this title, but now it seems that the most meaningful thing is the previous sentence.

"Measurements and regulations establish counties and counties..."

After reading a few words silently, he couldn't help showing a chuckle: "It's amazing, I even thought of this."

Since Ye Chen had already thought up an idea, he didn't have to worry about it anymore.After discussing with several ministers, he quickly made a decision...

At the court meeting three days later, the First Emperor Yingzheng abolished the enfeoffment system that had lasted for thousands of years and changed the system of prefectures and counties.

And according to the location, Kyushu is divided into 36 counties.

They are Hedong County, Taiyuan County, Shangdang County, Sanchuan County, Dong County, Yingchuan County, Nanyang County, Nan County, Jiujiang County, Sishui County, Julu County, Qi County, Langye County, Kuaiji County, Hanzhong County, Shu County, Ba County, Longxi County, Beidi County, Shang County, Jiuyuan County Yunzhong County, Yanmen County, Dai County, Shanggu County, Yuyang County, Youbeiping County, Liaoxi County, Liaodong County, Nanhai County, Guilin County, Xiang County, Handan County, Dang County, Xue County, Changsha County.

After the division was completed, suitable candidates were sent to the localities to serve as officials at all levels.

Also, while implementing the system of prefectures and counties, it is natural to promote the laws of the Qin State and abolish the old laws of the Six Kingdoms.

In addition, major adjustments have been made in terms of writing, currency, weights and measures, etc.

All kinds of other complicated characters were abolished, and only two easy-to-write fonts, Qin Zhuan and Li Shu, were retained.

In this way, while integrating people's hearts, it also facilitates management and life.

As for the currency, it is no longer possible to maintain the tortoise shells and jade used by the six countries.Instead, it is uniformly divided into two types: listing currency and listing currency.

The upper currency is gold, with yi as the unit, and 20 taels in the Qin Dynasty are [-] yi.The lower coin is a round copper coin with a square hole, and the unit is half tael.

In addition, the weights and measures system and weights and measures established during Shang Yang's reform were used as standard instruments and promoted throughout the country.

In addition, Yingzheng also issued a decree on the same track for cars.

Before the unification of the Central Plains, the countries had never had a unified system, and the size of the carriages was different in different places, so the lanes were also wide and narrow.

But now that the country is unified, vehicles have to travel on different lanes, which is very inconvenient.

Therefore, it is now stipulated that the distance between the two wheels on a vehicle shall be changed to six feet, so that the distance between the wheels is the same.In this way, it is much more convenient for vehicles to travel across the country...

Chapter 392 The Conflict between Ye Chen and Ying Zheng

And with the rest of the wheel size, the roads in various places will naturally change accordingly.

Due to successive years of wars, the various regions were on guard against each other, and the vassal states built many fortresses in various places, and the roads between countries were also of different widths, which seriously affected traffic exchanges and hindered the centralized state from controlling various regions.

So now it is necessary to order the demolition of these fortresses and fortresses, and build three roads centered on Xianyang one after another.

A line goes straight to the east through the Yan and Qi regions.One goes directly to Wu and Chu areas in the south.

There is also a straight road from Xianyang to Jiuyuan, which was built to strengthen the defense against the Huns.

The road is fifty steps wide, and a tree is planted every three feet along the road.In the middle is the emperor's royal road, which is marked with obvious signs, and ordinary people are not allowed to walk.A transportation network extending in all directions with Xianyang as the center has been formed, linking all parts of the country together.

This series of plans are all decisions made after careful consideration.

Such a set of combined punches not only facilitates management, but also strengthens the connection between the central and local governments, allowing all power to be concentrated in the hands of the monarch.

The ministers also sighed slightly after hearing such an arrangement. They originally thought that His Majesty could rest for a while after gaining the world, but they didn't expect to make such a big commotion.

There are also courtiers who advise and persuade, hoping to slow down and not be so impatient.

After all, the six countries have just been unified now, so they should rest and recuperate. As for the reform, it is safer to take it slowly.

But Ying Zheng didn't pay attention to it. He has always been decisive and straightforward in his work, and he doesn't like to procrastinate.As long as the direction is determined, it must be completed as soon as possible, and a relatively high quality must be ensured.
