Molested Zulong at the beginning

She wanted to see if Bai Su had any unique insights.

Sister Zheng glanced at Bai Su with great interest: "It seems that you agree with the county system?"

Bai Su leaned on the chair, holding his head in his hands: "Then needless to say, the county system is the right direction. How long can the so-called enfeoffment system relying on blood as a bond and maintenance be maintained?"

"The kings who were entrusted in the first generation may feel grateful and feel awed by the court."

"After the second generation, the relationship with the imperial court will gradually become alienated."

"And when the third generation arrives, the new king will feel that his status is taken for granted, and he will no longer have any respect for the court. Even if his own interests are damaged, he will immediately send troops to the court. It is not impossible to force the court to withdraw the decree. .”

"In this way, those kings who have been entrusted will become the new six kingdoms with the help of the local aristocratic families. At that time, how binding will the so-called blood relationship be?"

Sister Zheng nodded secretly, and it was exactly what she thought, and she had a higher opinion of Bai Su in her heart.

She pretended to be puzzled and said: "However, the prefecture and county system in the Xia Kingdom has not been promoted very smoothly. You can often hear voices of opposition, and even many folks feel disgusted. Does this mean that the prefecture and county system is actually wrong? of?"

But Bai Su shook his head: "It's not because the county system is wrong, it's just because the system is not perfect."

Sister Zheng asked curiously, "Not perfect?"

Bai Su shrugged his shoulders: "Think about it, the Xia Kingdom was originally a peaceful place, and the grassroots officials in the country were enough. In just ten years, the First Emperor swept the six countries and unified the world. The territory of the Great Xia increased by two or three times. .”

"The army can be trained in a short period of time, but the officials at the grassroots level can't, they can be created casually."

"As the territory of Great Xia gradually expands, but there are still so few grassroots officials in the Xia Kingdom, the Xia Kingdom will definitely fall into a situation where grassroots officials are in short supply and talents are not enough."

"However, the laws of the Xia Kingdom are too many and too complicated, and the content of the jurisdiction is too much. In this situation where officials are in short supply, such complicated laws will definitely appear easily after the workload is two or three times that of before. It is normal for various issues to arouse local resentment."

"Actually, this problem is not difficult to solve, as long as there is a little flexibility."

Sister Zheng's phoenix eyes lit up, and she couldn't help asking, "How can I be flexible?"

Bai Su glanced at "Miss Zhao" in front of him strangely, this sister really cares about the country's affairs.

He said casually: "The laws of the Xia Kingdom are prepared for the state of war. In times of war, huge power can erupt, but as the world stabilizes and the people's tense nerves gradually relax, this set of laws is a bit too much." Bloated."

"The war is over, and the world needs a stable and relaxed production environment."

"You can remove all those trivial laws and keep some of the most important ones, such as military power and security, land and population, taxation and resources."

"As long as these key elements are controlled, it is equivalent to having the ability to actually control the six countries."

"In this way, the workload of the grassroots officials in Daxia can be reduced by at least half, which greatly alleviates the current shortage of grassroots officials in the Xia Kingdom. It can also make the environment of the people easier and let the people of the six countries feel comfortable. Daxia is no longer disgusted."

"As for other aspects, in the future, when the number of talents in the Xia Kingdom gradually increases, then they will gradually intervene in the jurisdiction, such as those subdivided areas."

"Anyway, if you have soldiers in your hand, accept them as dogs if you are obedient, and send troops to destroy them if you are not obedient."

From Bai Su's point of view, this is not a problem at all.

After all, that's what Liu Bang did, and the reason why he made three chapters.

It's not because there are too few people under his command, there are only so few people around him, and he can't manage the huge Xianyang even if he wants to.

By simplifying the law, a small number of talents can govern a huge territory.

On the basis of the three chapters of the agreement, Bai Su improved it a bit and drew out the key points, which is naturally not a difficult task.

After Sister Zheng heard this, her phoenix eyes lit up.

As if a white light flashed in my mind, the route that was originally covered by fog became clear in an instant.

Her white jade hands raised the strands of hair scattered between her eyebrows, and she looked at Bai Su with her phoenix eyes: "In that case, why don't you report to the court and receive a reward?"

In the afterglow of the setting sun, I can see that Miss Zheng has curved eyebrows, long eyelashes, rosy mouth, tender and smooth skin, and the delicate skin is rosy and rosy. She is well maintained. She doesn't look like a 30-year-old at all. She looked like a young girl in her twenties or eighties.

The mature and plump figure should be convex and upturned, and there is a mature charm between the brows, which is quite flavorful.

The pink-necked jade chin is as pure and flawless as a blood rain plate, the slender waist, the graceful figure, the gestures of the hands, and the free and elegant demeanor, it is really amazing.

Bai Su was in a daze for a moment, and couldn't help saying inwardly, she was so beautiful.

After hearing Miss Zheng's question, he scratched his cheek with his fingers: "What is the report? The court may not necessarily believe me. Besides, the struggle between the enfeoffment system and the county system is a troublesome thing. Why should I go to the court?" Jump into the pit."

Sister Zheng also gradually calmed down, knowing that what Bai Su said was right. With his age and status, even if he reported it to the court, his voice probably would not reach Xianyang Palace, and would only offend people in vain.

After all, even if she hadn't been with Bai Su for two days and saw how extraordinary he was, she probably wouldn't easily believe such words.

There was a smile on her face: "Thank you, Mr. Bai, for explaining my doubts. I suddenly remembered that I still have some things to do. I need to visit my distant relatives and I need to leave for some time."

Daxia unified the world for the first time, and faced many problems. Now that she finally has a way to deal with it, she must rush back to Xianyang as soon as possible to discuss with the officials.

"Miss Zhao, is she going on a long journey..."

Bai Su was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something, he took out a beautiful box from his bosom: "This is a small gadget I bought from a barbarian when I was outside the Great Wall. I heard that it is a local delicacy. Take it for a snack."

Sister Zheng didn't even look at it carefully. After asking Wang Jian to lead the two horses, she bowed to Bai Su and left.

"It's such a beautiful, smart, and invisible Ms. Zhao. I'm so greedy for her figure."

Bai Su couldn't help smiling as he looked at the gradually receding shadow under the setting sun.

What he gave to Sister Zheng was naturally a box of white rabbit toffee in the system lottery. This kind of thing was of no use to him, so fortunately he gave it to Sister Zheng.

After all, in this era of extremely scarce sweets, this is also a very precious gift.

Send a gift to brush up your favorability, in case you hook up.

Chapter 10 The Maiden in Xianyang Palace

a few days later.

Daxia, inside Xianyang Palace.

All the ministers in the hall were discussing, arguing endlessly about the topic of county system and enfeoffment system.

They are all discussing what route Daxia will take in the future.

Sister Zheng stood quietly behind the bead curtain, listening to their discussion.

Her jet-black hair was rolled up high, her eyes like autumn water had a pretty face that charmed the world, her figure was plump, she was wearing a black dragon robe, and she had an aura of calmness and power on her body, which made people uncomfortable. Dare to look directly.

She is like two people with the easy-going Ms. Zhao in the past.

Li Si quietly walked to Sister Zheng's side, and slowly stated what happened in recent days.

Sister Zheng's expression remained the same, but her eyes became colder.

"Your Majesty is coming..."

Following the envoy's shout, the civil and military officials below suddenly fell silent.

Sister Zheng walked straight to the throne and sat down slowly.

She looked at the people below through the beaded curtain of the jade crown, "Everyone... there is no need to mention the enfeoffment system in the future."

"This……"

Many people looked at each other in blank dismay, and many of them admired the enfeoffment system.

The doctor ordered Chun Yuyue to stand up and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. Don't make a decision lightly."

Someone took the lead, and another official followed up: "Since King Wu defeated Zhou, the Western Zhou Dynasty relied on the enfeoffment system, and Guozuo has been passed down for more than [-] years, following the Zhou rituals, and teaching the world to be king."

"Since the promotion of the prefecture and county system, there have been successive problems in government affairs in various places. Not only are the laws of the government difficult to implement, but even the local people are disgusted. If things go on like this, it will definitely lead to disaster."

After she finished speaking, the people beside her also began to agree.

Obviously, I agree with her statement very much.

Sister Zheng gave the group of people a cold look, and said in a deep voice: "Follow the Zhou rituals and return to the old system, hehe, the six Ming masters of the Great Xia have worked hard so far to return all the land of the world to the Great Xia."

"Once the world is divided like this, how many generations will it take for the imperial court to take it back?"

"How could I make such a mistake?"

Hearing Sister Zheng's cold tone, the officials below who advocated the enfeoffment system all looked astonished.

What's the matter, Your Majesty, and why has his attitude changed so much.

Not to mention the enfeoffment faction in the ruling and opposition parties, even many officials who supported the county system were surprised for a while.

You know, although His Majesty didn't like the enfeoffment system in the past, his attitude was not so firm.

Chunyu Yue couldn't help but said: "But Your Majesty, I used to be in a peaceful corner of Great Xia, and the area under my jurisdiction was nothing more than eight counties. Now, after chasing the Huns in the north and fighting for Baiyue in the south, the world has been divided into 36 counties."

"In the past ten years, although the imperial court has recruited a large number of talents from the six countries, compared with the rapidly expanding territory, it still seems a bit powerless. Our officials are simply not enough, and we are too busy."

Hearing this, everyone frowned.

This is indeed a problem.

The laws of the Xia Kingdom govern quite a lot and are quite complicated, ranging from annual taxes and grain collection to the small distance of farming and mulberry farming, how many seeds to sow, and how much water to water.

Even if someone fell and injured on the road and turned a blind eye, how to punish them, how to punish the false accuser who was blackmailed and falsely accused by the other party in the past.

Xia Guo's laws have strict regulations.

In the past, when the territory was about seven or eight counties, Xia Guo could still handle it, but as the territory gradually expanded, the manpower seemed a little insufficient.

Sister Zheng glanced at the elderly Chun Yuyue, and said calmly: "Since you are too busy, the reform method is to ignore those trivial matters for the time being, and focus on controlling taxes, grain collection, population and household registration, land measurement, bronze, etc. Salt and iron, and cloth."

With watery eyes, Li Siqiu glanced at Sister Zheng in surprise.

As the prime minister of the Great Xia, she was the founder of unifying the world's characters into Xiaozhuan. Naturally, she saw early on that the laws born in the flames of the Great Xia had faintly failed to keep up with this era, and it was time for a change. .

It's just that I haven't figured out for a while, where to start.

Unexpectedly, before she had time to speak, His Majesty had already made plans in this regard, and he was more thoughtful than she thought, which really surprised her.

Sister Zheng glanced at Li Si with her phoenix eyes: "What do you think of Aiqing?"

Li Si was taken aback for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty has a high opinion!"

Everyone saw that Sister Zheng had said so, and also saw that His Majesty had made up his mind, so they didn't say anything more.

Everyone bowed their hands and retreated.

Before Li Silin left, he glanced back at the direction of the throne, and wondered in his heart: "Did Your Majesty meet someone recently, or why did his attitude become so big, and there is such a complete plan in his hand."

"It seems that when His Majesty was touring the world, something must have happened, something he didn't know about."

In the bedroom.

A tiptoe figure sneaked in from outside, wearing a red palace dress, with jet-black hair coiled up, an exquisite hairpin pinned to it, a delicate jade face, a pair of rare orange-blue eyes, looking Very agile, blinking.

She poked her head out to look at the inner room first, and after finding no one there, she patted her young chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

The girl stretched her waist, showing a pretty figure, and while walking inside, she muttered: "Mother, I don't know what I've been doing these days, and I haven't come back for a long time, leaving me alone in Xianyang Palace bored to death."

She glanced casually, and found a never-before-seen box beside the phoenix couch.

Is this something my mother brought back from her trip?

Curiosity arose in her heart, she stepped forward, opened the box, and found that it was wrapped in pieces of white paper, strange food, with a faint milky smell.

As the little princess of the Ying clan, the girl has seen a lot. She has never seen anything rare, but she has never seen such a weird thing. Is this a snack?

She was a little curious, so she couldn't help tearing it open and took a sip. A strong milky fragrance spread in her mouth. This sweet taste made her cover her cheeks with her hands, and her eyes lit up.

This... this smells so happy.

In the past, the sweetest thing she had ever drank was nothing more than honey water.

And this snack is sweeter than honey water, I don't know how much it is.

"Hu Yan, what are you doing?"

Just when she couldn't help but want another one, a majestic female voice came from behind.

The girl's body froze suddenly, as if she had been electrocuted, and she couldn't help shivering.

Chapter 11 Mother and Daughter Thoughts

Hu Yan turned around stiffly, and looked back, only to see Sister Zheng standing not far away, looking at her with a smile on her face.

She stuck out her tongue mischievously, walked forward quickly, and put her arms around Sister Zheng's arm coquettishly: "Master, when did you come back?"

Sister Zheng looked at Hu Yan's pouting and coquettish manner, with a helpless smile on her face: "What are you doing sneaking around in my bedroom?"

Hu Yan blinked those strange-colored eyes, and said with a smile: "My lord misunderstood, I just came to visit my lord, so I didn't sneak around."

"You, don't let me worry all day long." Sister Zheng pampered Hu Hai's black hair.
