Chapter 180
Zhou Chong did not speak directly, but began to tell fables, saying: "King, Zhou Chong heard that there is a fruit called orange in the south of the Yangtze River. It is extremely sweet and the local people like to eat it.
Some people who are fond of things think that oranges can grow in the south of the Yangtze River and produce delicious fruits, so they can harvest fruits like those in the south of the Yangtze River, so they transplant them into the north of the Yangtze River.
When the flowers bloomed, the flowers also bloomed, but when it was harvesting, it was found that the fruits were smaller. After tasting them, I realized that they were bitter and astringent, so I changed the name to Citrus.
"The same fruit, which is found in Jiangnan, is extremely sweet and beautiful. It is planted in Jiangbei but it is small and astringent, and it is difficult to swallow. Zhou Chong dared to ask the king why this is?"
The King of Qin did not directly answer Zhou Chong's words, but asked everyone: "What do you think is the reason?"
Nei Shiteng was anxious and said, "Mr. Zhou, don't go around, just say it."
"No, it's better to guess." The King of Qin rejected it and said, "Li Si, you have traveled a lot and have a broad range of knowledge. What do you think is the reason?"
Li Si replied: "The king, I have heard of the oranges in the south and the north. I think it should be a problem of water and soil. The south of the Yangtze River is suitable for the growth of oranges, but the north of the Yangtze River is not suitable for the growth of oranges."
"It hit the nail on the head!" The King of Qin agreed with his statement, saying: "Mr. Zhou was telling me that it was necessary to get those officials out of the place that was most suitable for their growth, which would be beneficial to them to become delicious oranges, but this was unfortunate for the Qin Dynasty. They became the zhicai and were for the Qin Dynasty.
Well, Mr. Zhou, let me tell you specifically about your method.”
The King of Qin was so smart. He knew the meaning of elegance when he heard the string song. He understood Zhou Chong's meaning before he could say it. Zhou Chong was very impressed and responded: "Master, Zhou Chong thought that the official system should be implemented."
The system of liberal officials has a milestone significance in the history of the official system, and it is the emergence of the system of liberal officials. It greatly reduces the possibility of local officials growing up, and has found a good way to unify the country and long-term stability.
"Mr. Zhou, how do you implement it?" Han Fei asked curiously.
Zhou Chong explained: "Your Majesty, Zhou Chong thought that if an official stayed in one place for a long time, it would be very difficult for him to be honest and honest, because he would always stay in one place.
More and more people know and more familiar with each other, and more people will beg him to be favored and abuse the law. At the beginning, maybe he can still maintain integrity, but over time, it will be difficult to protect him.
"Besides, if officials stay in the same place, their relatives will generally become more and more. Whether these relatives will always remain unlawful is a problem."
The King of Qin interrupted Zhou Chong and said, "Yes, officials are also human beings. They also have to get married and have children. They also have relatives and friends. If they stay in the same place for a long time, their relatives and their friends will become more and more.
These people always think that if a relative and friend of an official is supporting them, they can do whatever they want and be lawless.
Many officials themselves have no major mistakes, because their relatives and friends rely on their power to do something bad today and do something bad tomorrow. This is becoming more and more unreasonable, and eventually dragged the officials into the water.
“I’ve been thinking.
One of the most important reasons why the administration of the Qin Dynasty was much better than that of the six countries was that the Qin Dynasty activated many talented guest officials. These guest officials had just arrived and had no roots in the local area and had no power. They were not only obeyed the public and followed the law and worked for the Qin Dynasty.
There is no other choice. Now it is different. The world is unified and there are no guests. But I must not let the officials be deeply rooted."
He said all the reasons Zhou Chong wanted to explain in one sentence, saving Zhou Chong's verbal talk and said, "Your Majesty, Zhou Chong thought that a rule should be made, and officials should not be officials in the local area.
The term of office of an official should be restricted. After the term of office expires and outstanding political achievements can be promoted to another place to be an official. If the political achievements are average, they should also be transferred to another place to serve as an official, but they are not promoted to his official position, and they may also be demoted to his official position.
It is best to transfer the officials from the south to the north, the officials from the north to the south, the east to the west, and the west to the east.
"Of course, the specific situation is very complicated. One theme is to keep it unchanged: to transfer the official from his sphere of influence so that he cannot take root!"
The King of Qin glanced at everyone and said, "Did you all hear it clearly? Do you understand what Mr. Zhou means?"
"I understand!" everyone said together.
King Qin nodded and said, "It's good if you understand. Mr. Zhou came up with so many good ideas, but this idea is the most fundamental and must be implemented well.
As long as the official system is implemented, I can imagine that those officials will never become delicious oranges, but will only become bitter tangerines, because without that square soil, he is nothing."
After Zhou Chong said so many words, his mouth was dry and he picked up the tea and drank it in one breath. He felt that it was so beautiful that he could not speak.
The King of Qin joked, "Mr. Zhou, you are a waste of water when speaking? Mr. Zhou drinks tea to give me some good ideas. Well, Mr. Zhou, you said."
Zhou Chong thought, and the current Qin King's interest increased greatly. It was a good time to propose the fundamental measure of county system, and he was about to speak. Zhao Gao ran in in a panic and said, "Master, big things are not good, big things are not good!"
The King of Qin's face sank and shouted, "What's the matter?"
Zhao Gao calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, the bad guys surrounded the palace."
"What? Let me go and take a look." The King of Qin said with a hint of expression, "I am too brave to surround my palace." He strides away.
Zhou Chong sighed secretly, it seemed that he had to find another opportunity to propose the county system, so he had to follow.
When they arrived at the palace gate, they saw that there were people standing outside the palace, with a large number of people. When they saw the King of Qin, the common people knelt on the ground in unison, shouting in unison: "Long live the king, long live, long live, long live!"
The common people did not act like they were making trouble. The King of Qin's face sank and shouted: "Zhao Gao, is this what you are talking about as a troublemaker?"
Zhao Gao was so scared that his face changed and said, "The king, I am guilty of death, and I am guilty of death. When I saw the people surrounding the palace, I thought they were here to cause trouble. I am guilty of the slave, so I asked the king to punish me."
"The people are all happy. Now I will punish you, will you celebrate the whole country? Only Zhao Gao can't be happy? Remember this in advance, and then talk about it after you have fun." The King of Qin asked: "Friends: Why are you?"
The elder kneeling in front said, "The king is a master of talent, and is unique in ancient and modern times, destroying the six kingdoms, pacifying Lingnan, and making a rush to the sea. When the grass-roots people heard the news, they couldn't help but run to the palace to kowtow to the king, thanking the king for ending the war and that the people had a good life.
