Chapter 367

From which aspect.

Moving ten million people into Yizhou is a great project that will benefit for thousands of years!

Even if he conquers the world in the future and includes the Nine Provinces and Four Seas, Qin Mu still decided to take the Central Plains as the core of development!

His fundamental purpose is to let the descendants of Qin and Han hold their heads high in the whole world.

It is precisely because of these various reasons that Qin Mu will not be in a hurry to attack Great Tang, but will subtly influence the common people, making them gradually produce a sense of recognition for Great Qin, and even take the initiative to submit to Great Qin.

Subduing the enemy without fighting!

This is the most brilliant method of an emperor!

It is easy to kill a person, and it is also easy to destroy a Great Tang, but how to make the common people of the world submit willingly, this is the most difficult problem.

"Taiyue (Zhang Juzheng's elegant name), pass on my order, from today on, implement the administrative strategy of the military, judicial, and political departments standing together in various parts of Yizhou. Completely separate the military department, the criminal law department, and the internal affairs department! Simplify procedures, improve efficiency, understand?"

"Your subject obeys!"

Zhang Juzheng is worthy of being a top politician; after Qin Mu finished speaking, he immediately understood.

In ancient times.

Military, judicial, and political affairs were almost integrated, and they were never separated.

That is to say.

A local parent official handles everything by himself.

He has to manage both government affairs and criminal cases.

Not to mention being busy and exhausted, his energy and ability cannot reach the standard of handling things.

These officials often judge the right or wrong of a matter, or the authenticity of a case, based on their personal preferences.

Of course.

There are also a very small number of capable officials who can handle it with ease.

But these officials basically will not stay at the grassroots level for a long time; they are either transferred to the imperial court to hold important positions or are recruited by aristocratic families.

Over time.

The lives of the common people in most places are miserable.

For example, if there is a grievance, and the parent official and the government office runners are not professional enough, it is very likely that they will judge the case wrongly, creating greater grievances.

In such an era, the occurrence of such things is simply too common.

After all, very few officials have received thorough training and systematic learning.

Take handling government affairs for another example.

For example, building the local area, benefiting the people, etc., many officials rushed up with enthusiasm at the beginning, spent a lot of effort, but found that the effect was not great.

What is the reason?

It is also due to the chaos of the political system, not putting the right talents in the right positions.

In their concept, there are only two conditions for a parent official.

Filial piety!

Integrity!

That is what is usually called recommending filial piety and integrity.

With these two things, plus being able to read and write, wanting to be a parent official in a small place is simply as simple as eating and drinking.

This is not alarmist!

In this era, books are monopolized by aristocratic families.

That is to say.

A commoner born with an ordinary background will probably not finish reading a book in his life!

The illiteracy rate is over ninety percent!

Under these circumstances, only those aristocratic families who can read and write have enough strength to provide a steady stream of talents.

This also makes the imperial court have to rely on the power of the aristocratic families.

Over time, an awkward situation where the tail is too big to wag will be formed.

Precisely because of these complex situations, in people's concepts, a parent official does not need to have professional ability in governance, nor does he need to have specialized criminal ability.

In such a chaotic system, one can imagine what kind of life the common people under their rule lived?

It must be that whoever has the biggest fist is right! Whoever has more people is right!

After all, the government's ability is really limited, and it cannot handle so many trivial matters.

Qin Mu wants to take Yizhou as the foundation to establish a brand new Great Qin, so he needs a perfect beginning.

Completely separating criminal, military, and political affairs is to set the tone, pave the way for the future development of Great Qin, and consolidate the foundation.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, reports have come from all over Yizhou, saying that in the process of the aristocratic families fleeing and being exterminated, the subject has already transported all these books to Handu, please Your Majesty take a look."

"Someone, lift them up!"

Saying this, Yue Fei shouted outside the great hall.

Hundreds of people walked into the great hall carrying large boxes.

The boxes were full of books treasured by Yizhou aristocratic families for many years.

"Very good!"

Qin Mu nodded with satisfaction.

To tell the truth.

Great Qin currently really needs these books.

Many books were scattered among the people, and all were actively handed over to the imperial court by the local common people.
