Chapter 642 What I Want Is a Peaceful and Tranquil Sea! All You Said Are My Words!

Is Mi Li threatening Ying Zheng?

Yes, but no.

Because Mi Li is just stating a fact!

The court directly dispatching supervisory officials to the local areas is absolutely against the mainstream of the world today.

For the sake of thousands of officials in the world and for future generations, even if resigning will greatly damage the vital interests of local officials, there will inevitably be a large number of officials who will resign!

Just like the officialdom of the Qin Dynasty in the 26th year of Qin Wangzheng in the original history!

But the current Qin Dynasty is not the Qin Dynasty in the original history!

Ying Chengjiao sneered: "Seven or eight out of ten?"

"Seven or eight out of ten local officials of our Great Qin are actually doing petty things, afraid of being discovered by the court!"

"In my opinion, it is already a strange thing that two or three out of ten local officials will resign from the court."

Mi Li said sincerely: "The policy of supervision will not only scare corrupt officials, but also humiliate and distrust all local officials!"

"The world is not just the Great Qin."

"If the King of Qin regards local officials as enemies and guards against them, local officials will naturally go to Yan, Zhao, and Qi to seek respect!"

"Even if it is difficult to go to other countries, local officials will still choose to return to the countryside instead of serving in Qin!"

Mi Li is still not threatening Ying Chengjiao.

People in the world think that Great Qin is a country of tigers and wolves, and are unwilling to enter Qin. Most of the foreign guests who enter Qin have personal demands.

If Qin strictly supervises and governs officials, then many officials will have no reason to enter Qin. Why should they continue to stay in Qin as officials?

Ying Chengjiao said coldly: "If this is true, then I will do as the king just said, and ask to lead the army to march across the territory of our Qin and cut off the heads of all officials who violate the law!"

"For all officials who resign and leave, I will lead the officials of Chang'an Junfu to personally check their accounts and inquire about their actions."

"If there is any violation of the law, I will lead the army to destroy it!"

Mi Li was shocked.

Not to mention how ridiculous it is to let Ying Chengjiao lead troops to patrol the entire territory of Qin.

Just say that he has resigned, and you still want to check his accounts and bring him back to punish him?

Do you really have no dignity at all!

Mi Li screamed: "Even if some local officials made some minor mistakes, they all completed the orders issued by the court."

"Why should Chang'an Jun be so fussy!"

"Why should we let those minor chaos make the Qin Dynasty unstable!"

This is also the true thought of many court officials.

The Qin Dynasty only looks at merits and demerits, not personal morality.

No matter what those local officials did privately, they finally completed the orders of the court, transported the money, grain and manpower needed by the court to where the Qin Dynasty needed them, and did not cause any chaos.

Why should we destroy the current good situation for those exploited people?

It's not worth it!

Ying Chengjiao stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Xunzi said: The king is a boat, and the people are water. Water carries the boat, and water overturns the boat!"

"And what I want is a peaceful sea and a peaceful river!"

Ying Chengjiao's true thoughts are beyond words.

But the thoughts expressed by Ying Chengjiao made the courtiers who studied the sages' books, such as Wei Zhuang, tremble all over, the courtiers who followed Lu Buwei, such as Chang Yun, had shining eyes, the courtiers who rose from the bottom of the society, such as Zhuang Chou, had red eyes, and even Li Si's heart was burning and his hands were shaking.

What is benevolence?

This is benevolence!

Mi Li didn't understand why Ying Chengjiao, who was born in the royal family, cared so much about those peasants.

Mi Li asked incomprehensibly: "Just because of such a small matter, Chang'an Jun is willing to cause civil strife in my Great Qin?!"

"Chang'an Jun should know that my Great Qin seems to have sharp claws and teeth, but in fact it is exhausted."

"Once my Great Qin is in turmoil and its exhaustion is exposed, the enemy will surely move!"

"Are you not afraid of Yan, Qi, and Zhao forming an alliance to attack Qin?"

Ying Chengjiao looked at Mi Li in confusion: "What should I be afraid of?"

Chang Yun's fists in his sleeves clenched and trembled, and his fiery eyes stared at Ying Chengjiao, wishing he could say the next sentence for Ying Chengjiao:

The benevolent are invincible!

Mi Li was stunned.

Ying Chengjiao used violence and overturned the table to block all of Mi Li's words!

Mi Li could only change the subject: "Even if Chang'an Jun's sword is sharp, Chang'an Jun's sword cannot produce talents!"

"If our Great Qin really implements this policy, who will manage the local areas for our Great Qin?!"

Mi Li said confidently: "Even if there are some local officials who are doing petty things now."

"But whether it is for the court or for the people, it is better to have officials to herd the people on behalf of the court than to have no officials to herd the people on behalf of the court!"

Ying Zheng suddenly said in a calm voice: "Today, 7,391 people have entered Xianyang for the imperial examination."

"After the La Festival, the imperial examination will begin."

"After the imperial examination, there will always be thousands of talents willing to be used by our Great Qin."

Ying Cheng Jiao followed up and said, "The Great Qin Military Academy has two terms with a total of more than 3,000 students."

"Although the courses for these more than 3,000 students have not yet ended, these more than 3,000 students are qualified to be local officials."

"Last year, I taught 130,000 soldiers to read and memorize Qin laws during my expedition. Now more than 40,000 of them have passed the law exam. Although they are not talented, they are qualified to serve as local officials."

"The students who came out of my Great Qin Military Academy and my army are not afraid of the supervision of military law officials, let alone the supervision from the censors!"

Ying Zheng smiled and looked down at Mi Li and said, "If the local officials want to resign because the court monitors their way of being officials."

"Then let them go!"

Ying Chengxuan continued: "But before leaving, let's check his accounts and then determine his guilt."

"When they have been punished in our Daqin territory, let the world go with them!"

After saying these words, Ying Zheng felt happy.

Since Ying Zheng ascended the throne... No!

All the kings of the Qin Dynasty were troubled by the same problem - lack of talents!

Da Qin is always thirsty for talents, that’s because Da Qin is really thirsty!

Great Qin doesn't care about the morality of its ministers, because if Great Qin is stuck in moral barriers again, there will be no one left to use!

But today, thanks to the tens of thousands of scholars trained by the Great Qin Military Academy, the imperial examination scholars and Ying Chengxuan in the army, Ying Zheng can finally say one sentence to his courtiers:

If you can do it, do it. If you can't do it, some people will do it!

Cool! ! !

Listening to Ying Chengyu and Ying Zheng's unconcealed announcements, Mi Li asked in disbelief: "How could your Majesty have such an idea?"

"Although the soldiers Chang'an Jun trained in the army last year are already literate and have passed the legal examination."

"But they don't have the ability to serve as officials!"

"As for the disciples of the Great Qin Military Academy and those who specialize in different subjects, they are completely unable to meet the needs of our Great Qin!"

If those people trained by Ying Chengyu in the army really have the ability to serve as officials, why is the Qin Dynasty still suffering from a shortage of officials today?

There is no need to implement the "New District Interim Law"!

But the growth of talents is by no means a matter of one or two years.

If the soldiers trained by Ying Chengyu want to be of great use, they will need at least several years of study, and then several more years of training.

Even after training, the more than 40,000 people who can produce more than 10,000 capable officials and officials are enough to burn high incense!

Ying Zheng said quietly: "People always need experience and training."

"Now that the Qin Dynasty is exhausted and has no foreign wars for the time being, it is an opportunity to cultivate talents."

"They are eager for opportunities, and we are willing to give them this opportunity."

Being fine or not is one thing.

Whether there is is another matter.

Thanks to Ying Chengyu's continuous efforts over the past few years, Ying Zheng has gained the confidence to set the table with his ministers!

Mi Li was completely speechless and could only hold up her hands and cry out sadly: "Please, Your Majesty, think again!"

Seeing that Mi Li was mute, Chang Yun stepped out of the queue, bowed his hands and said warmly: "Your Majesty, I think that this supervision system only requires two new offices."

"But the supervision system is a huge reform for all officials."

"Reform may need to be slowed down."

"Just like the new district's interim law is first verified by Yingchuan County."

"I think that we can set up a censor according to the advice of Lord Chang'an and verify it first."

"As for the Ombudsman's Office directly under the King?"

"We will make a decision based on the verification results."

Chang Yun seemed to have chosen to compromise in exchange for agreement after seeing Mi Li's defeat.

But in fact, Mi Li was arguing about the dispute between the local government and the central government, while Chang Yun was arguing about the dispute between the king and his courtiers!

The courtiers knew that the candidates in Ying Zheng's hands would monitor them.

Ying Zheng also knew that the court officials knew that the candidates would monitor them.

But Ying Zheng cannot use the results of the candidate's investigation to punish officials!

Because candidates do not have the right to supervise officials, the evidence investigated by candidates has no legal effect!

Every time Ying Zheng convicts an official based solely on the evidence investigated by the candidates, he is trampling on the laws of the Qin Dynasty!

But if Ying Zheng approves Ying Chengxuan's advice, then the evidence obtained by the later candidates will have legal effect and can be directly used as evidence of conviction.

This seriously violated the relationship between monarch and ministers as envisaged by Lu Buwei, and even exceeded the limits of the king's rights!

Ying Chengyu refuted without hesitation: "The supervisor oversees the place, so who will supervise the supervisor?"

"Because of his supervisory abilities, the censor is likely to be superior to local officials, or even usurp the authority of local officials!"

Mi Li turned to look at Ying Chengyu blankly.

Everything you said is my word!

Ying Chengxuan continued: "Therefore, I believe that the two supervisory offices should not be separated in order, but should complement each other, and they are essentially different from the "New District Interim Law"."

"If there is no other supervision team to supervise the censor, what I thought was a good policy will turn into a bad policy!"

"Do you think what I said is right, Mrs. Mi?"

After saying this, Ying Chengyu looked at Mi Li with good intentions.

Mi Li:......

In desperation, Chang Yun could only say frankly: "I believe that the emperor and his ministers are different, and they should each perform their duties. In this way, the country will be stable."

"The position of supervisor is that of a minister, and your Majesty should not shoulder it!"

Just when Ying Chengyu was about to speak, Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "What Chang Ai Qing said makes sense."

"I also firmly believe that all my dear friends can supervise the place on my behalf and restore stability to the head of Qin and Guizhou."

"Pass the widow's order!"

"In the Imperial Censor's Office, a supervisory order and a supervisory prime minister should be set up to lead the supervisory censor to supervise all officials of the Qin Dynasty!"

"Then watch the censor's actions before making a decision!"

Chang Yun, Li Si and other courtiers couldn't wait to hand over their hands in surprise: "Your Majesty, Sheng Ming!"

Ying Chengyu:...

You didn’t give me a chance to speak!

So angry!

This time, Ying Chengyu didn't wait for Ying Zheng to speak, and took the lead in raising his hands and said: "My younger brother recommends Qi Diao Li, a great scholar in Qi, to be my imperial eunuch of the Qin Dynasty!"
