Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 504 Finding a Breakthrough

Chapter 504 Finding a Breakthrough

Chapter 519 Finding a Breakthrough

If the county soldiers in Daqin can effectively suppress the rebellion, and don't have to wait until Zhang Han wants to put down the rebellion and release hundreds of thousands of prisoners from Lishan to serve as an army to put down the rebellion, Daqin only needs to mobilize a few elite frontier troops from the Nine Plains. If it can extinguish the anti-Qin flames that are burning more and more in one fell swoop, Daqin may not perish at all.

Of course, history has no ifs.

In addition to the county guard and the county lieutenant, there is another important position, that is, the county supervisor, that is, the censor.Jian Yushi, subordinate to Yushi Zhongcheng, is responsible for supervising the sheriff and other officials.

The three princes and nine ministers of the Great Qin Dynasty, except for the left and right prime ministers, who are golden seals and purple ribbons, and rank ten thousand stones, the rest of the government ministers, including Doctor Yushi, Taiwei, Zongzheng, etc., are all silver seals and green ribbons, rank two. thousand stones.

Doctor Yushi, in charge of the supervisory officials, is the deputy prime minister.

There are two officials under the imperial censor, one is the imperial censor, who is the deputy of the doctor, and the other is the imperial censor Zhongcheng.Among them, Yushi Zhongcheng, because he was in charge of the censors and the censors of the counties, could order the censor to correct and impeach all officials according to the rules, which was especially powerful.

And the county supervisor is also the supervisor of the censor, which itself should be the position of supervising the county guards, county lieutenants, and county officials. In the past ten years, it has drifted with the tide, and it has become more and more consistent with the wishes of the first emperor when it was first formulated. Far.

The system itself is not wrong.What is wrong is only the method and people who implement it.At least, in Hu Hai's view, the first emperor's measure of supervising censors and supervising officials of all sizes in a county is still very avant-garde and applicable.

In addition to the county guard, county lieutenant, and county supervisor, the Daqin county system also has a very important official position, that is, the county magistrate.

Juncheng, the deputy official of the county guard, assists the county guard in comprehensive county administration, with a bronze seal and black ribbon, and a rank of six hundred stones.

When the county magistrate is absent or unable to be a director, the county magistrate acts as the magistrate.The subordinate officials include death history, master book, pastor's order, etc.The prefectures of the frontier fortress have another long history, who manages the soldiers, horses and military administration, and has the same rank as the prefect.

The position of the county magistrate can be said to be the most important official position in a county except for the county guard, county lieutenant, and county supervisor.However, this very important position in a county has nothing to do with the Great Qin court.

Because the county magistrate is the deputy official of the county magistrate, he is directly appointed by the magistrate.On the other hand, among the county lieutenants, only the county lieutenant will set up a county lieutenant to assist the county lieutenant in commanding the county soldiers.

Thus, a contradiction emerged.The county magistrate is appointed by the county magistrate and belongs to the county magistrate's deputy. If the magistrate is not in the county magistrate, he can directly perform the duties of the magistrate. On the other hand, the magistrate is directly under the magistrate.

The intricate relationship has led to the problem of excessive concentration of power in the middle-level but especially important level of the Daqin official system.The county guard is no longer just managing the people's livelihood of a county, but also intervening in the military.If you have a good relationship with the censor, then the county guard will be the real emperor of the county.

As for the county level at the bottom of the Daqin official system, there are two official positions, county magistrate and county magistrate, according to the population.These two official positions, together with the two positions of county magistrate and county lieutenant, are the lowest and last formal official positions in the Daqin official system.

The county magistrate has a black ribbon with a copper seal, and the rank is from a thousand stones to six hundred stones, and the county magistrate has a copper seal with a yellow ribbon, and a rank from six hundred stones to five hundred stones.Both the county magistrate and the county magistrate are the chief executives of the county, and they will be directly appointed by the emperor according to the law.

According to the Qin system, the annual salaries of county magistrates and magistrates range from 12 catties to [-] catties of grain.The two official positions of county magistrate and county lieutenant, with copper seals and yellow ribbons, ranks of four hundred stones, are equivalent to [-] catties of grain.There is no doubt that it is still a high salary.

And many county officials under the county magistrate, county magistrate, county seat and county lieutenant, such as Gongcao, Lingshi, jailer, Wen Wuhai, stables, pavilion chiefs, three elders, etc., are all from the county. appointed by the order or the county magistrate.

Fortunately, the county officials are appointed by the county magistrates, but they will be reported to the imperial court, and then incorporated into the official official system of the imperial court, and their salaries will be issued after the imperial court approves them; Part of the tax deduction is used as the salary of these people.Although the salary of the county officials is not very high, there are hundreds of county governments in the Great Qin Dynasty, and each county government has as few as ten or as many as dozens of officials, and they all rely on the people to support them.

This number is not fixed.There is no specific number in the official Daqin classics.

But there is no doubt that the consequence of this is to add a heavy sum to the already complicated taxes of the people.No wonder the people are miserable.

After spending three full days of hard work, Ying just now had a general understanding of Daqin's official system.But the more he learned, the more urgent Ying Gang felt about the reform of the official system.

Because he thought of a problem, that is, even if Yingzheng issued an edict to exempt the people from taxes for three years, it doesn't mean that the people don't have to pay taxes for these three years, but just don't have to pay taxes to the court.In other words, each county will still collect taxes from the people.

As for whether the county magistrates or magistrates will take the opportunity to increase taxes on the people, the answer is to think with their toes and know what it will be.

Ying Gang has already experienced the difficulties faced by the reform of the official system. All the bigwigs in the imperial court unanimously opposed it bitterly. If it is enforced, the result will be self-evident.After all, Hu Hai still has to rely on these people to implement it. Under the circumstances of obedience and violation, in the end, I am afraid that the reform of the official system will be beyond recognition, and it will make Daqin incomprehensible and fall into chaos.

Ying Gang must find a breakthrough.

And he decided to put this breakthrough on Taixue.

In fact, most of the teachers in the academy today are elders from various schools of thought in the past.No matter whether what these people learned can be used or not, there is no doubt that these people are the top talents or scholars in all aspects of this era.

There are now nearly ten thousand students in the college.

Among them, there are thousands of people in the inner core, and there are still thousands of people left in the outer academy of the Taixue, and they will be selected for classification and elimination.

These people are basically all disciples belonging to various sects.Among them, the five schools of Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, miscellaneous, and legalism are the most numerous.Basically accounted for more than [-]% of the current students in the Royal Academy.

As far as the entire Great Qin is concerned, the number of disciples from hundreds of schools of thought naturally exceeds this number.

At the beginning, the most fundamental purpose of Ying Gang to win over hundreds of schools and factions to establish Taixue was to train more students from ordinary people who did not have any factions after the Great Qin was settled down.

After all, Taixue must be the highest institution in Daqin.Those who go out from this academy will inevitably have a large number of people who will go to the officialdom in the early days to maintain Daqin's rule over the entire world.

Ying Gang has been deliberately downplaying that the factions of various schools of thought are different. Here, only the differences between branches and disciplines are allowed. There can be differences, and only if there are differences and quarrels can there be progress.

Ying Gang believes that under his conscious intervention, the progress brought about by these quarrels and differences can only promote the overall progress of Daqin, and will not turn into a situation of division or even hatred.

Academically, it is necessary for a hundred schools of thought to contend in order to promote the progress and awakening of the entire national consciousness.

However, Yinggang could not find any helpers in the court, so he planned to find helpers from the outside world to break the deadlock.
