The Weishui River goes eastward.

A corner of Xianyang East City.

Qin Luoheng was lighting up the lamp and making plans.

Sudden.

There was a rustling of footsteps outside the door.

Qin Luoheng stood up and opened the door.

The door opens.

Chief Qin suddenly appeared outside the door.

Qin Luoheng bowed and said, "Young man, I have seen the chief official of Qin."

Ying Zheng nodded and walked into the house.

Calmly said:

"The dispute over land affairs in the court has ended."

"The First Emperor has made a decision."

"I stopped by to tell you something."

Qin Luoheng's eyes were filled with joy.

He said respectfully:

"May I ask the official, how did the First Emperor make his decision?"

“Should we implement ‘making the capital of Guizhou become a real land’? Or should we choose to maintain the status quo and wait for changes in Shandong counties?”

Ying Zheng glanced at Qin Luoheng.

He shook his head and said:

"Both."

"The crisis you mentioned about land affairs is indeed shocking, but the court has its own considerations. If you just leave it alone, it will only alienate the local government and the court."

"The people's support in Da Qin will also be lost."

"Besides."

"You're thinking too one-sided."

"Your original intention was good. You were thinking about the court, but you didn't think about the local area. It only took ten years for the Qin Dynasty to conquer the world, but local officials, except for official stingy men, most of the rural stingy men were waiting for the lower-level officials.

Basically they are still the officials of the original Six Kingdoms."

"They have a great influence on the bottom class of Shandong."

"even......"

"They're the ones in the fish and meat village."

"If the imperial court takes action against the local area, it will inevitably bring down a large area. Then all the local literate and office workers may be wiped out. Then who will be left to govern Shandong?"

"in addition."

"If your lips are dead and your teeth are cold, they won't understand."

"If the imperial court is really determined to govern with ruthlessness, they will definitely jump over the wall in panic. Then wars will start again in various parts of Shandong. Isn't this what the imperial court wants?"

“Right now, we should focus on stability.”

Qin Luoheng hesitated and said:

"That's right."

“But it treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.”

"As long as land annexation exists, this conflict will continue to intensify, and sooner or later it will break out. When the court wants to turn around and govern, it will not be as easy as it is now."

Ying Zheng snorted coldly.

Indifferently said:

"intensify?"

"They don't have this chance."

"The fundamental reason why land annexation is worsening is that Da Qin is short of local officials. As long as the number of local officials can keep up, even if all the current local officials in Shandong are replaced, it will not have any impact on Da Qin."

“Any issues at hand.”

"It's all on the 'official'!"

"Only by solving the problem of 'officials' can local problems be completely solved."

"You only focus on the fields, but you ignore the essence."

"Officials are the main cause of local troubles. It is the connivance of local officials, their secret collusion and fraud that has caused the current corruption in the place."

"I want to rectify my origins."

"The first thing to solve is the administration of officials!"

"After the official administration has been solved, the so-called land administration issues can only be convicted according to law."

After Ying Zheng learned this, Qin Luoheng suddenly understood.

Zuo Yi said:

"The boy has learned a lesson."

"Young man's eyes are narrow and he only looks at Tian Zheng, but he doesn't consider the fundamentals."

"It's just that there are many counties in Shandong. If we want to completely replace them, we will need at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of officials. Such a huge number of officials cannot be trained overnight."

"The kid doesn't quite understand."

Ying Zheng looked at the small courtyard, then looked at the lounge chair in the room, strode over, and lay down skillfully.

Then he said:

"There is no shortage of officials in Da Qin."

"You are young, you have only been in the market for a short time, and you are not familiar with the Daqin system."

"Do you still remember what you said when you talked about Tian Zheng?"

"Tianzheng and military honors are integrated into one!"

"The existence of the military meritocracy system not only ensured Great Qin's combat power, but also provided Great Qin with a large number of low-level officials."

"The solution to the shortage of officials."

"It's about military merit and nobility!"

Qin Luoheng's eyelids twitched.

He understands.

Da Qin is about to raise an army.

According to the history he remembered, within the next two years, the Qin Dynasty would launch a campaign to conquer the Huns in the north and conquer Baiyue in the south.

This is where the real decline of Great Qin began.

but......

It was too smooth for Da Qin to destroy the six kingdoms.

So much so that they underestimated the fighting power of Baiyue, and finally paid a price of hundreds of thousands of people to pacify Baiyue. This was too much of a drain on the Qin Dynasty, and after Baiyue was defeated, the imperial court had to divide its troops by half a million

guard.

This further weakened Da Qin's strength.

Now that the Qin Dynasty is at its peak, no one will believe it if you rashly say that the Qin Dynasty will fail in its southern expedition.

Even though the last expedition failed.

But the last failure of the court was attributed to the supply of food and grass.

Now that the Ling Canal has been dug and the problem of food and grass supply has been completely solved, everyone in the court probably believes that the attack on Baiyue will be decided in one battle.

only......

The truth is cruel.

Da Qin did win, but it was a miserable victory.

If you don't know the history, there is nothing wrong with Qin's actions. As long as they can achieve a complete victory, the soldiers who went on this expedition will be awarded titles and rewards, and then enter the local officials as officials. This will greatly solve the problem of Qin's shortage of officials.

And this is a two-way war between the North and the South.

North and South proceed together.

In other words, if a two-way war can be successfully won, the officials that the court can appoint will not only be limited to one side, but almost the entire Qin Dynasty. This will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the subsequent governance of the Qin Dynasty.
