Chapter 260 A crushing defeat

"Provincial system?"

Everyone looked question marks and all became curious.

Ying Zheng said: "What is the provincial system?"

"Back to your Majesty, the provincial system is a local administrative division system."

Li Yang said this and knew that everyone would definitely not understand it, so he directly explained: "My Great Qin territory is vast, with too many counties and unruly counties, which leads to the dispersion of local powers and it is difficult for the court to effectively supervise counties in various places. Therefore, I suggest that the Great Qin be divided into several provinces, which means to add provincial administrative agencies to the counties and counties to govern the counties within the provinces. From now on, each place will be divided into provinces and governed."

"You mean to establish a large local administrative region, establish a provincial administrative agency, concentrate the power of each county and county on the province, and govern the local military, government, and financial power?" Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly and began to think.

Li Yang nodded: "It is precisely this. The establishment of the provincial system can consolidate national unity politically, concentrate the power of the court, and supervise various counties more effectively. However, in order to avoid excessive power of the provincial government, military power can be not controlled by provincial governments. In this way, the Qin Dynasty's military and political separation, local government affairs are divided into provinces and governed, and local military power is divided into camps and guards, which can be said to be both complete."

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he immediately saw the absolute advantage of the provincial system. He couldn't help but praise: "Wonderful, this strategy is very wonderful!"

Li Si and others also shone their eyes and praised repeatedly: "The provincial system of governing the king is indeed a good strategy. Since the Northern Expedition, the territory of the Qin Dynasty has more than doubled. When the Xiongnu, Donghu, Fuyu, and Sushen set up counties, there are more than hundreds of counties in our Great Qin. There are too many counties and too large territory. In some places, the court is also out of reach. The imperial court is also a little tired, and the provincial system can cure this disadvantage."

Speaking of this, Li Si quickly said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I agree with the provincial system of governing the king!"

Cao Shen, Zhang Cang, and officials from the Development and Reform Commission also took the lead: "The provincial system has obvious advantages, and I will discuss it!"

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction and looked at Li Yang with admiration. He was very happy. This guy is really a talented person. So he immediately said: "Authorize the report, and the Zhenguojun led the Development and Reform Commission, and the provincial system will be implemented today, and local governments will be divided into provinces and governed!"

Li Yang was also very happy to see the emperor's approval.

However, he was not surprised at all about this result, because the provincial system was a major development of the county system since the Qin Dynasty. Since the implementation of the provincial system in the Yuan Dynasty, it had a profound impact on the political systems of the Yuan, Ming, Qing, and even later generations. The provincial system has become a local administrative agency in our country and has been preserved until today. If Qin Shihuang could not see this administrative system with obvious advantages, wouldn’t he be a fool?

More importantly, Li Yang also improved the provincial system of the Yuan Dynasty.

The provincial system of the Yuan Dynasty was concentrated in power, and local military, government and financial power were all-out. In fact, this was a hidden danger, that is, the provincial chief officials had too much power and had military power in hand, so it was easy to rebel and autonomy.

Li Yang controlled the power of the province to administration, which, in the words of later generations, was the separation of military and political affairs. The province only managed politics, but the military region controlled military power.

In this way, the military and political system of the Qin Dynasty was actually similar to that of later China.

Because the Qin army was mainly four major legions, to put it bluntly, the four major military regions.

These four major legions are the brave and warlike Guanzhong Legion, mainly responsible for the defense of the capital garrison, Lantian Daying, the second is the Lishan Legion, the third is the Lingnan Legion stationed in Baiyue Lingnan area, and the Great Wall Legion led by Wang Li of the Northern Territory.

These four major legions are the four major military regions of the Qin Dynasty, garrisoning all directions, and the Qin Dynasty's administrative division of provinces can be said to be absolutely safe. This is also a major reason why Ying Zhenghui approved the implementation of the provincial system without any worries.

After approving the provincial system, Li Yang continued: "Your Majesty, if the local government has established provincial governments, the imperial court's government orders can be passed on to the local government. In this way, the matter of the people who have previously mentioned is composed of the people to supervise the new policies, and the provinces can control the local people's supervision, the direction, progress and stopping of the new policies. At the same time, the county soldiers of each local area are controlled by the provincial government and are responsible for maintaining local public security and ensuring local order. In this way, Bai Shangshu's concerns can be resolved."

Bai Zheng and others were all stupid.

They never dreamed that how things would become like this...

It was obviously a dead end, but in a flash, the situation was different.

More importantly, Li Yang actually came up with a clever plan to resolve all this.

It is also to let the people supervise the new policy and launch a storm from bottom to top. This bottom-to-top struggle is due to the prairie fire, so once it breaks out, unless the army is used, any force will be irresistible.

Originally, although this struggle from bottom to top was terrifying, it was also dangerous. As long as the key points and risks were pointed out, the emperor might not dare to use them. However, what was even more desperate was that Li Yang actually came up with a provincial system, which directly solved the risk of local administrative paralysis perfectly.

Feng Quji, Bai Zheng and others were suffering from their hearts at this time. What kind of evil did they do? The death situation he and others had obviously created was easily resolved by Li Yang. And now looking at the situation, once Li Yang followed Li Yang's method, he mobilized the people to fight against the gentry and the upstarts from bottom to top, and he and others would definitely be defeated.

Thinking of this, Feng Quji and others immediately looked in pain, wishing they could beat their chests and stamp their feet.

Oh my God, is this still a human? How could he even solve the death situation?

Feng Quji and others were so anxious that they could not cry and were completely stunned on the spot.

After pausing, Feng Quji still refused to admit defeat and said: "Although the provincial system can spread the imperial court's orders to the local government, according to the king of Zhenguo, the provincial province is only an administrative agency in a large area. If the county and county levels are paralyzed, the provincial provinces will still be unable to control the overall situation, and our Qin Dynasty will still be in danger."

Li Yang smiled: "Feng Xiang is too worried. The people will not replace the administrative power at the county and county levels. It's just that the court directly granted them the power to inspect and supervise the land reform on behalf of the new policy. Therefore, the county and county levels are still operating normally, but the county and county governments do not need to worry about the new policy land reform for the time being. More importantly, the people's supervision of the land reform for the new policy is not to kill and set fire, and it is even more impossible to dare to take court officials to question the right to remove officials in the court and the province. Feng Xiang, do you think so?"

"this……"

At this moment, Feng Quji was speechless for a moment, and there was no reason to continue refuting him.

Because Li Yang's explanation was clear enough, the people did not want to replace the county and county governments, but were just inspecting and supervising the new policies.

In other words, the people are imperial envoys directly appointed by the court, which is equivalent to exercising the power of the court to inspect the local area and supervising the new policies. If you have not completed the work of restoring the old Qin land system, they will supervise it directly.

The power of dismissal of local counties and county officials is in the province or the central government. As long as the province and the central government do not dismiss you for the time being, you will be a normal job.

However, the people were not restricted by the county and county governments when they were scouting the gentry and local tyrants to allocate the land they had acquired.

Feng Quji stood there blankly, opening his mouth, trying to say something, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't say a word. He could only watch Li Yang's mouth slightly grin and a smug smile on his face.

At this moment, Feng Quji almost vomited an old blood. His whole body was slightly dazed, as if he was a little unsteady, as if a strong wind could blow him down.

At this time, he became a little lost.

Because he knew that he had lost, he had completely lost...

To be honest, this result was unacceptable to him. Because at the morning court today, he never thought that he would lose, and he even believed that even if Li Yang was a god this time, he would not be able to turn the world around.

But……

The result was so unexpected, so unexpected, and surprising!

After a long time, Feng Quji took a deep breath and then exhaled the turbid air in his chest, as if he had accepted the fact of this disastrous defeat.

He had done his best, but in the end, he could only be convinced. He had to admit that he was no match for Li Yang at all.
