Chapter 367 The Benefits of Free Education
"Since this is the case, then order the county guards to come to Xianyang immediately."
"As for the government affairs of each county, the county lieutenant is temporarily in charge."
Ying Zheng spoke, and Zhang Han on the side hurriedly went down to deliver the order.
Afterwards, several people discussed again, and then they left.
But Ying Yu was left alone by Ying Zheng.
"Boy, you are becoming more and more like me. An emperor must be strong when he should be strong."
Ying Zheng looked at Ying Yu and said with a look of relief.
After entering the year of destiny, Ying Zheng has put aside many things, and he has paid more attention to family affection.
Especially as Ying Yu's performance became more and more outstanding, whether it was military strategy or internal affairs, he showed talent that Ying Zheng could not stop admiring. Ying Zheng's succession arrangements were also accelerating.
After the burden was lightened, Ying Zheng was always in a good mood.
What Yingzheng wants to do most now is to travel around the world.
"Father's reputation is too high, and this son-in-law just did what he should do."
Ying Yu smiled slightly.
The more important military and political affairs of Great Qin are involved, the more one can understand the difficulty of Yingzheng in the past. Although this emperor has supreme power, it is really not something ordinary people can do.
Any small matter, magnified to the entire Great Qin, will become a pivotal event, and it is necessary to weigh the pros and cons and make a decision after careful consideration.
This is also the reason why Ying Yu knew that Daqin still had a lot to reform, but never brought it up.
For a country, everything should not be rushed, it has to be promoted step by step, and the next round can only be carried out after the previous reform has been digested and absorbed.
If there are too many reforms at once, the government and the public will not be able to understand them, and if there are deviations in implementation, deviations will easily occur, and eventually good things will turn into bad things.
In the history of later generations, there are many reforms that were once brilliant, but in the end they failed.
A big reason is the lack of preparation in advance.
Only relying on top-down promotion has not made the people realize the benefits of the reform. Once the officials are obedient and obedient, there will be situations that seem to be vigorous, but in fact have little effect.
Therefore, in Daqin, every time Ying Yu carried out reforms, he would give a full explanation in the court, and then communicate with the corresponding officials, so that all officials would realize the necessity of reforms.
The most important thing is that he will not deprive the officials of their interests, and even leave them certain benefits every time they reform.
People are not sages, and it is inevitable to have selfishness. Only by giving the courtiers some benefits, whether it is fame or fortune, can they get their sincere support within an appropriate range.
As for those stubborn powerful families, after many sweeps, their power is not as good as before. Coupled with the existence of the Tuen Token, they are already unable to take care of themselves.
The "Daqin Daily" and Ying Yu's painstakingly managed court prestige and large-scale literacy education made the people willing to support Ying Yu after enlightening the people's wisdom, and they could persist until after the harvest.
Step-by-step reforms can also minimize the fluctuations in Daqin, and will not affect the development trend of Daqin.
Of course, all of this has the most important premise, that is Ying Zheng's strong support.
The prestige of the first emperor Yingzheng in the hearts of officials and common people in the Great Qin Dynasty is definitely not covered.
Today's Ying Yu's position in the hearts of the people has surpassed that of Ying Zheng, but in the governments of all counties and counties, and among the gentry class, the First Emperor is still unyielding and unique.
Daqin has what it is today, Yingyu's ideas, and Shihuang Yingzheng's support are indispensable.
The father and son joined hands to manage the current Great Qin Dynasty.
"Regarding the return of the county guards to Xianyang to discuss the adjustment of counties and counties and the establishment of state capitals, do you have any other ideas?"
After complimenting each other routinely, Ying Zheng asked with a smile.
"I believe that this time, in addition to proclaiming the meaning of the imperial court so that the county guards can better implement it, it can actually be used as a stage for the county guards to demonstrate their governance capabilities."
"At any time, you can give each county guard a certain amount of time to let them put forward their ideas on building their own county or the entire Great Qin, and let all courtiers discuss and study together."
"In this way, those who are really talented will naturally stand out and become the new sheriff.
Moreover, these proposals can also be published in newspapers to publicize to the whole of Daqin, and encourage the common people and ordinary officials of Daqin to put forward their own opinions. The outstanding ones will not only be published in the newspapers, but also can be used as an assessment for their promotion or further education. refer to. "
"In this way, not only can all the people of Daqin participate in it, but also increase the support of the people of Daqin for the new prefectures and counties, and maybe find some usable construction plans from the people or low-level officials!"
Ying Yu pondered for a while, and expressed his thoughts.
Although it is impossible to implement the so-called democracy in Daqin, getting the common people to participate in it can make the reform go more smoothly, and it still has some effect.
Doing so can not only cultivate the sense of ownership of the people of Daqin, but also give the people the courage to expose and report the inaction of local county officials, so that Daqin's supervision mechanism can do better.
If you can find some usable talents, it will really be a windfall.
"That's a good idea."
"This free education not only opened up the wisdom of the people of our Great Qin, but also became a key factor for our Great Qin to implement various reforms!"
Ying Zheng thought for a moment, then nodded with satisfaction.
The first emperor was originally a man who was determined to make progress. Whenever he found that there was a place that was backward, he would dare to carry out drastic reforms.
It's just that many of the previous reforms, although they were finally forced to go on relying on the supreme prestige, the effect was somewhat unsatisfactory.
Especially in remote counties, deviations are prone to occur due to county officials.
After Ying Yu promoted free government schools, libraries, and literacy classes on a large scale, and "Daqin Daily" was sold all over the world, and established enough prestige, the direct communication channel between the court and the people has been initially opened up.
The decrees of the imperial court can be accurately conveyed to the people, and local officials can no longer deceive the upper and lower.
Ordinary people can also directly feed back their dissatisfaction with local officials to Yushitai through the feedback boxes set up in counties and towns.
This undoubtedly surprised the first emperor.
Clear government orders, seemingly simple, are actually the most difficult to achieve, and are the real core of centralized power.
Now, the channel that Ying Yu penetrated is absolutely of great significance to the long-term peace and stability of the Great Qin Dynasty.
Especially under the premise that Daqin's current territory far exceeds that of all dynasties and there are many counties and counties overseas.
