Chapter 1500 Lively Spring

The disaster of the First Emperor, the secret competition between Chen Xu and Hu Hai's group and others had nothing to do with ordinary people. Except for a few people from the core groups of both sides, most of the kings and princes and ministers knew nothing about this matter.

The spring scenery is getting stronger and stronger, the weather is getting warmer day by day, and Xianyang is becoming more and more lively this spring.

The order to fight for peace has been issued for nearly a month. Under the deployment of the Ministry of War, all kinds of food, grass, and ordnance soldiers were gathering in an orderly manner to the Longxi camp. Li Zuoche and Li Xiong and Li Dai uncle and nephew summoned some chivalrous soldiers who came from Zhao, organized their own guards, and then set off for Longxi after getting the military letter from the Ministry of War. This arrangement that caused the fierce reaction of the entire Qin Dynasty was finally settled, making the people in the six countries more peaceful towards the First Emperor and the Qin Dynasty court.

After all, this was a good start, indicating that the Qin Dynasty did not discriminate against the people of the old lands of the six countries. Therefore, the disciples from all over the country who gathered in Xianyang and the wealthy people from the six countries who were migrated from the beginning were even more convinced by the court's actions.

At the end of February, the First Emperor officially issued another tour arrangement in the court. This incident did not cause much discussion among the people. After all, this incident had been circulated more than a month in advance by well-informed people.

In addition to the emperor's parade, the court soon issued the first list of new lords after the New Lords Act, but these lords only converted the titles of the previous 20th-level military merit awards into the current level 5, fifteenth-level lords.

Although the four princes Gao, Gongzi Kun, Gongzi Jianglu and Gongzi Xiu who had already been granted the title of princes, they had no titles, so they had no official ranks. After the implementation of the Lord Act, the First Emperor decided to grant Prince Jianglu of Liao who participated in the expedition to Korea, Prince Gao of Liang, who was guarding the Yuezhi, and Prince Kun of Dai who guarded the Xiongnu as the first-class prince. As for Prince Ning, Prince Xiu, who had not been granted the title of Prince, he temporarily suspended the title of Prince and decided to conduct a five-year investigation in accordance with the new Lord Act before making a decision.

After the awarding edicts for these three princes and titles was issued, the Ministry of Rites re-formed a new seal and a letter of the princes and kings to arrange for envoys to award titles. At the same time, the news was published in the Daqin Metropolis Daily and spread throughout the world to the people of the whole country. At this point, the three kingdoms of Liang in the Liao Dynasty were officially confirmed as the first-class kingdom of the Daqin, and had a formal title and status that continued the Shang and Zhou traditions. When this news came out, the people raised their hands to celebrate and congratulated the Daqin on the formal vassal state.

When this news reached Dayuan, Gongzi Xiu could only cooperate more carefully and carefully in the governance of Dayuan without any slackness.

Because according to the new Lord Act and the plans of the First Emperor, everything is not enough to be granted to the princes, but to start to be a prosperous country. If the governance achievements are not good, and the orders of the Qin Dynasty will be pushed to the three obstacles and four yangs will be lip service. I am afraid that an edict will be sent, and the king's bento will not be able to do so.

It is natural to resist, but the outcome is probably very miserable.

The current strength of the Great Qin Empire is probably no country to compete with in this world. Moreover, the First Emperor who is powerful in the world is like a mountain pressing against every young master's heart. Now there is a super lie. The immortal disciple Qinghe Hou is in charge of the Great Qin. Just thinking about these two people will make no one have any unnecessary thoughts. If you think too much, you will feel uncomfortable all over like getting pregnant, and you will vomit whatever you eat.

Whether you are a king or not, you can only be obedient, otherwise you will not be able to get so many exquisite and luxurious items from the Qin Dynasty, and you will not even look down on newspapers.

As for the remaining more than ten princes and other royal families, the First Emperor did not easily reward the royal title, but decided to conduct a slow investigation before making plans.

The king's title is a double-edged sword. If the seal is well sealed, it can ensure the long-term stability of the conquered land and assist the Qin Dynasty in governing the world. If the seal is not well sealed, it will cause civil strife in the Qin Dynasty in the future. These are the experiences and lessons learned by the Shang and Zhou dynasties. The First Emperor naturally understood clearly that the reason why he dismissed the controversy at the beginning was that the First Emperor did not want to follow the backs of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

However, the current world pattern facing Daqin forced the First Emperor to re-enable the feudal system, so he was naturally very cautious.

But no matter what, Chen Xu's feudal policy and the new Lord Act implemented by Chen Xu changed the future of many royal families and gave most royal families great hope. At least a few princes who were enfeoffed were grateful to Chen Xu. If Chen Xu had not taken out the world map and let the First Emperor see the pattern of the whole world, and then suggested restarting the feudal system, they would never have the chance to be the king of a country. Therefore, over the years, every New Year and Festival, the Three Kingdoms of Liang in the Liao Dynasty would have sent Chen Xu a lot of gifts to express their gratitude.

With the continued implementation of the new Lord Act and the pace of the Qin Dynasty conquering the world accelerated, more princes and royal families will be rewarded to become princes or princes in the future. In this way, Chen Xu created a huge political protection network for himself.

No matter what happens in the future, these princes and princes will feel grateful to Chen Xu. This natural favor will allow Chen Xu to gain more support from the royal family, rather than making all royal families feel afraid and rejected because of their great power.

In addition to the titles of a group of princes, the new titles of kings, princes, nobles and new titles above the new titles of new titles have also been re-programmed and promulgated by the Ministry of Rites. Therefore, with the continuous issuance of various new title edicts in the court, the whole of Xianyang was extremely lively during this period. Marquises who were awarded the title of new marquis have begun to treat guests to drink and express their excitement for restoring the title of ancient aristocratic. Meng Yi even set up a family banquet to express his excitement.

However, Chen Xu scoffed at this. He was just a small seventh-class marquis. He did not increase his fief nor his land and property. He changed his name and had to treat him to dinner. It was obvious that his father-in-law of Pixiu was just taking the opportunity to make money.

Sure enough, a so-called delicious banquet was eaten with clear soup. After Chen Xu returned home depressedly, he ate two chicken legs and half a roast duck before filling the oil. However, for the sake of this name-changing banquet, Chen Xu took two trucks of gifts, worth no less than 50,000 yuan.

The three things of sending troops, parades and titles were almost crowded together, making the mid-spring of the 37th year of the First Emperor a very lively.

But in fact, there are three other things that make Xianyang more anticipated and lively.

First, the school starts at the Beijing University.

Second, the library has officially opened.

The third and the second spring commodity fair.

These three things almost started one after another from the end of February to the beginning of March. For these three national celebrations, hundreds of disciples, folk students, merchants and tourists from all over the country, and even the envoys from Liangyue, Bashu, and other places in the Liao Dynasty, had already begun to embark on the road to Xianyang as early as January and even last year. Now, according to the prediction of the Lieutenant's Mansion, there were at least 40,000 or 50,000 more tourists in Xianyang at the end of February than usual. The arrival of these people directly filled Xianyang's Jiashe Station and restaurants in large and small. Even the homes of farmers near Xianyang City received many tourists from all over the country and even affiliated vassal states.

In order to solve these things before the First Emperor left Beijing for a tour, Xianyang became more and more busy after the end of February. Whether it was the court or the people, all kinds of attention-grabbing things, one after another, one after another.

In Xianyang, where Qinghe Hou is in, this spring is already bustling like a pot of boiling water, and the heat is splashing everywhere, so it is almost impossible to hold the lid of the pot.

On February 28, the school of Peking University officially started.

From construction to preparations, it took a total of two years and six months.

The newly built Beijing University will also become the highest institution of learning in the Qin Dynasty. Although the first period of enrollment is only 1,000, most of them are excellent students who are strictly evaluated from the people after being recommended by famous scholars from all over the world. These students will be divided into six majors: administration, culture, diplomacy, statistics, finance, and law. The school’s teaching team is also recruited from various fields. There are even visiting professors hired by Huaxia Money Bank, the Three Provinces and Six Ministry, and the five major colleges to teach regularly. The regular study system is two years, and the third year is the internship period. After the internship is completed, the assessment will be directly arranged to serve as officials in the court offices or counties such as the Three Provinces and Six Ministry, Shaofu, Neishifu, etc., and the minimum is the eighth rank.

According to the current official position assessment and promotion evaluation system, both the imperial court and local counties have strict age regulations.

The maximum age for low-ranking officials and officials of the seventies, eighties and nine ranks cannot exceed sixty years old. In other words, officials under the county magistrate must retire according to the law when they reach the age of sixty. After retirement, they can serve as local three elders and school teachers. They will pay some money and grain every year as pensions, but only encouragement, and do not force them.

Intermediate officials of the fourth, fifth and sixth ranks are also 60 years old, but those with particularly excellent results in governance and evaluation can be extended to 65 years old. This is approved by the Ministry of Personnel. Retirement will be awarded a certain amount of grain fields and real estate or even the Baron of Viscount as a reward. Real estates and land can be inherited, but the title will be taken back by the court after death.

As for senior officials of the first, second and third ranks, there is no retirement age, at least they are at the level of a minister and a minister, or above, and the chief officials of the government offices of three provinces and six ministries, including the court, and the officials of the government offices of the three provinces and six ministries. These officials are also subject to the assessment of the Ministry of Personnel, but the appointment and removal are decided by the emperor. As long as there are no major mistakes and the assessment results are OK, they can be an official until death. Whether they retire or die in office, they will basically have an earl's title, which can be hereditary for at least three generations and have a very good rule. It is also possible to be posthumously named as a duke and county after death. It can truly be hidden and descendants of the family for hundreds of years.

Therefore, after the current assessment and assessment system for official promotion and the implementation of the new Lord Act, the bureaucracy of the Qin Dynasty has completely escaped the constraints of relying on military merits and titles. As long as we work hard to become an official, have good officials, have political achievements, and have official reputations, the court will evaluate the retired lords through assessments, which will greatly stimulate a large number of gentry and hundreds of disciples to join in serving the court. Moreover, the assessment system will also make the bureaucracy of the Qin Dynasty more promoted and ordered, and remove those positions and food, and the age limit will also make the bureaucracy more young and energetic.
