Chapter 514 Another profound meaning
...
Because Chen Xu suddenly came up with a new idea in the court today to build a Martyrs' Temple, and this matter was unswervingly on the head of the Shangshu Province. All the six ministries had to pay money and work. After all, the Martyrs' Temple was used to pay tribute to the soldiers who died in the Qin Dynasty. It was to worship the spiritual seats and pay tribute to incense, which was to deal with ghosts and gods. Therefore, the Ministry of Rites was the first to be the first to be the auspicious country. Taiwu chose to choose auspicious land, Taishi observed the astronomical phenomena, Taibu calculated the auspicious time, Taizhu prayed and burned incense before construction could start. Once it was once
The start of construction involves transporting silt, sand, quarrying, logging, and logging, which requires a large number of craftsmen and prisoners. Naturally, the logistics of eating, drinking, defecation and sensation are required. Therefore, the Ministry of Works, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of War, and Ministry of Justice all have to arrange the matter together. Therefore, after the scattered court, Feng Quji was busy in the government office for almost an hour before he arranged the matter properly. Finally, he wrote a memorial to send it to the Secretariat for Li Si to review. If there is no accident, the memorial will be approved tomorrow, and the construction of the Martyrs' Temple can start.
Although this matter was thankless, Feng Quji did not feel much dissatisfied, because since the restructuring of the three provinces and six ministries, all six ministries were assigned to the Secretariat. Feng Quji's power increased by more than ten times. He could decide everything in one sentence, almost half of the court was in his own hands. The source of this power was the Qinghe Marquis who proposed to build the Martyrs' Temple today. Therefore, Feng Quji maintained enough respect for Chen Xu, the young marquis. Without the restructuring of Chen Xu, the three provinces and six ministries, there would never be the glory of Feng Quji competing with Li Si in the court.
Therefore, after coming out of Ziying Hall where the Secretariat was located, Feng Quji did not go back to the mansion directly, but instead asked the carriage to go to the Qinghe Marquis' Mansion, preparing to visit Chen Xu in person.
First, express his kindness, and another very important reason is that he is going to ask Chen Xu how to keep beekeeping.
Now as he gets older, Feng Quji feels he is becoming more and more unable to do so. Honey has always been a luxury that only princes can eat. In the "Shennong Bencao Jing", honey, beeswax and bees are listed as top-quality products. It has the effect of eliminating all diseases and medicines. It is an extremely rare tonic. Unfortunately, the output of this thing is extremely rare. The mountain people in the mountains occasionally get some to sell it in the city, but that is also a drop in the bucket. I don’t know how many kings, princes, princes, and ministers in Xianyang are gathered together. In addition, most of these rare natural tonics have been acquired by the royal family. Basically, Feng Quji, as the Shangqing, can’t eat it a few times a year.
I have heard that Chen Xu has a health preservation technique for a long time, so I just took this opportunity to ask for advice.
Chen Xu came back from the Academy of Sciences. He had just washed his hands and faces and sat down in the restaurant and poked a snail from the pottery basin on the table and took a sniff. The guard and manager hurried in and reported: "Mr. Marquis, Lord Feng, the Prime Minister of the Shangshu Province outside the door, is here to visit!"
"Well~ please please, please wait, I'll go to greet you in person!" Chen Xu threw down the snails and wiped them clean. He followed the manager to the door of the Hou Mansion. Sure enough, he saw that Feng Quji, who was gray-bearded, was already standing at the door, and the carriage and guard were parked beside him.
"Feng Xiangfu, Xu is late to welcome him!" Chen Xu bowed and apologized while greeting him with a smile.
"I'm visiting rashly, hoping that it won't disturb Qinghe Hou!" Feng Quji also quickly bowed and returned the gift.
"What is this about the right prime minister? Xu lives very leisurely every day, and the weather outside is hot, please~"
"Mr. Qinghe ~"
Accompanied by Chen Xu, Feng Quji followed Chen Xu into the Hou Mansion with a calm expression. Looking at the wide field in the yard, the dense trees, flowers and rows of house corridors, Feng Quji said with emotion: "This Prime Minister's Mansion has been vacant for nearly twenty years. Unexpectedly, it will revitalize again in the hands of the Hou Qinghe. I was still thinking last year that such a large house would be decayed if it was placed. I wanted to ask the emperor with shameless face, but I was afraid that the contribution was low and I was suspicious. Haha, it is worthy of Qinghe Hou's living in. This time, the great victory in Henan and Hebei shocked the Huns and the Hu. Your Majesty must give the Hou the position of Grand Tutor, and there will be no more honorable titles in the world!"
"Why should Feng Xiang belittle himself? But Xu did not expect that Your Majesty would give me this house of Lu Xiang. Please, Feng Xiang..."
The two of them talked and soon came to the living room. The host and the host sat down, and the maid served tea. After drinking a few sips, Chen Xu put down the teacup and smiled and said, "I wonder what the reason why Feng Xiang suddenly came here today?"
"I have two things to do!" Feng Quji also put down his teacup and twisted his beard and said, "One is that the Qinghe Marquis was talking about the construction of the Martyrs' Temple in the court today. I have just made arrangements in Ziying Hall, and I can start recruiting craftsmen and people to start construction tomorrow, so I come to communicate with Qinghe Marquis!"
"Feng Xiang is decisive in his work. Xu thanked Feng Xiang for his righteous actions for his soldiers who died in this victory!" Chen Xu bowed with a serious expression.
"Marquis Qinghe doesn't need to thank me. This is my duty. Building a Martyr's Temple is also a major measure to benefit the country. I am also impressed by the Marquis Qinghe's suggestion!"
The two of them politely spoke to each other, and Feng Quji turned his mind and said, "The second reason for me came is also heard from others. I heard that the Hou of Qinghe understands the art of maiding bees to get honey?"
Chen Xu nodded and said, "Of course, Xu does understand the art of bee herding. He can collect wild bees in wooden boxes and raise them, and then get honey from the beehive!"
"It turns out that what Lord Meng said is indeed true. This is great. I wonder if the Hou of Qinghe can teach me the art of Mu Feng's honey. I am older this year and feel that his body is getting decadent and his energy is getting worse day by day..." Feng Quji said excitedly.
"What Feng Xiang asked, Xu dared not hide his own personal information. This method of herdering bees is not difficult to learn. The difficulty is that it is difficult to collect the first cage of bees. However, Feng Xiang rests at ease. Xu came to Xianyang from Nanyang this time and brought back two boxes of bees. And just as spring was in full bloom, someone made several beehives to divide the cage. It is estimated that there are five cages now. Tomorrow I will send one cage to Feng Xiang’s mansion, and keep it for a year and then divide it. In two or three years, you can eat honey every day in Feng Xiang’s mansion!"
"Thank you, Mr. Qinghe!" Feng Quji stood up excitedly and bowed to thank him.
"Feng Xiangyan is serious, so what's the point of being a little bit!" Chen Xu replied, and the two talked about the great changes in the court caused by Zhao Zhe. After sighing and feeling a few times, Chen Xu deliberately said: "I heard yesterday that Your Majesty wanted to pardon Jiang Beiting and Jiang Heng's guilt?"
"Of course!" Feng Quji nodded, "This matter was originally mentioned by Lord Meng. Jiang Hu made great contributions this time. If he continues to punish the Jiang brothers, it may cause rumors among the people. Moreover, the Jiang brothers are not involved in this matter. Moreover, the fire in Nanyang Cang has been concluded. It was deliberately done to capture Ran Chi. The Ministry of Justice has investigated the matter very clearly. Now Ran Chi and his second brother Ran Bi have been captured, and the bandits have been caught in one go. They can only report to His Majesty to behead him when all the bandits are interrogated. This bandit arson case will be completely completed. Therefore, His Majesty plans to pardon the Jiang brothers and take away the title and demote him."
"Where does Feng Xiang know where the Jiang Brotherhood was transferred?" Chen Xu asked.
Feng Quji shook his head: "I am still in a dilemma for this matter. For example, today, in the thirty-six counties, except for Nanyang and Yanmen County, which was involved in the matter of Zhao Zhe, the county magistrates in various places have performed their duties for many years and have no mistakes. They cannot be removed from their posts or have nowhere to be transferred. Your Majesty meant to transfer Jiang Heng to a border county, and Yanmen County is located on the northwest border, and Jiang Hu also serves in the northwest military camp. The two brothers cannot be arranged together, which is inconsistent..."
Originally, the emperor had made a conclusion about this matter, but the Ministry of Personnel still needed to check the counties and counties in the world to see which county Jiang Heng was transferred to and which county Jiangbeiting was more suitable. After all, the Qin Dynasty had already stabilized. More than 800 counties in thirty-six counties were one by one, and the officials had already squatted down one by one. Suddenly, they had to squat two more and had to empty the pit first. Therefore, the Ministry of Personnel was still under investigation, but it was not a few days since the emperor only gave the Ministry of Personnel five days, so Feng Quji had a headache.
"Feng Xiang doesn't need to worry. This matter is actually easy to solve!" Chen Xu said with a smile.
Feng Quji's eyes lit up and quickly bowed: "Please give me some advice, I'm so grateful!"
Chen Xu lowered his head and thought for a moment, "If today is unified, the Qin Dynasty is the only one, and all the lands of the six countries are submissive. His Majesty the Emperor has great talent and strategy, abolished the feudals and established counties, and enforced laws and regulations to govern all the people. He has the current atmosphere. However, the lands of the six countries are very evil in Qin, and many of the officials in the counties are old officials of the previous six countries. Many of them are old officials of the previous six countries. Many of them are indiscreet. Now, the restructuring of the three provinces and six ministries has been completed, and the ninth rank official positions are also promoted.
Next, if officials do not have the opportunity to advance and retreat, and if the laws and regulations are not relaxed, they will only be famous but not profitable. The Ministry of Personnel has the skills of commendation and merits to take control of officials in the world. Xu once said in the court that the county magistrates and county officials must be assigned to other places for several years. This is to cut off his collusion with local gentry and abuse the law to oppress the people. Ran Chi, Wancheng, attacked the emperor's headquarters and burned the granary, which shows that the old Chu land was even more evil.
From officials to common people, they all did not accept the king's transformation. Therefore, Xu thought that the transfer of officials from other places could start from Chu. Nanyang County currently lacked two chief officials, county magistrates and county magistrates, so this matter should not be delayed for a long time. Your Majesty had already wanted to attack Lingnan, and there were wild places outside the five ridges. Kuaiji, Jiujiang, Changsha, and Qianzhong were the first to be attacked. If the army conquered Lingnan, these four counties would not be controlled strictly, and the morale of the army would inevitably be chaotic. Therefore, the transfer of officials could start from these four counties, such as transferring Kuaiji County to Yuyang, transferring Yuyang Prefect to Nanyang, and then selecting an official to work from Xianyang to Kuaiji. The same is true for the county seat. For example, transferring Pei County Magistrate to a county in the northwest, and selecting an official to be governed in Xianyang. This is the case in Xianyang. He will be transferred to the position of the different places. He will be transferred again after a few years. The arms and claws of collusion between officials and gentry will inevitably be cut off. The Qin Dynasty will inevitably be governed..."
