Ziying didn't disappoint Ying Lin.
Xianyang was now in good order.
It was just that no matter how strong his work ability was.
There was a limit to a person's energy and ability.
The empire's talents were dwindling, and there were many vacant officials. Its operational efficiency was relatively low.
Therefore…
Ying Lin returned to court.
The first thing he did was to promote Jiang Shang as a high official.
The official system of the Qin Dynasty was the system of three dukes and nine ministers. The position of Shangqing was not within the scope of the traditional three dukes and nine ministers. Generally speaking, it was below the three dukes and above the nine ministers.
However…
The power of a high official fluctuated greatly.
The scope of authority was very flexible.
A high minister can be very weak.
It could also be very substantial.
Shangqing Baili Xi, Qin Mu Gong poured out the country to entrust him.
Shangqing Meng Yi, who traveled in the same car as Qin Shihuang, had the right to directly execute Zhao Gao, the governor of Zhongche Mansion.
Their power depended on the emperor's trust.
Jiang Shang's talent.
It was no problem for him to be the Prime Minister or the Grand Marshal.
However, even though he had nurtured 8,000 Tiger Troops for Great Qin, Jiang Shang had only just entered the Qin Empire, and the people of Qin did not trust him enough. It was not appropriate for him to rise to the top in a single step. The position of High Official was not bad, and he could take on the duties of the Prime Minister and Grand Commandant.
Then…
Ying Lin had a flash of inspiration.
He suddenly had the thought of making fun of her.
He immediately announced the appointment of Zhang Liang as Great Qin's Honored Guest.
Zhang Liang naturally disagreed.
But Ying Lin didn't care if he agreed or not.
The guest elder hat was placed on his head.
This time, Zhang Liang would not be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Ying Lin was certain that Zhang Liang was not a fiery and unyielding person.
They were not afraid that Zhang Liang would commit suicide because of this, and they could also make the rebel army think that Zhang Liang had defected to the enemy. Even if Zhang Liang was returned to them after a while, the rebel army might not dare to use him.
Ying Lin had to be prepared to face Xiang Yu.
There were still at least ten days to half a month to rest.
Ying Lin decided to make the most of the internal reform so that he could welcome this great enemy in his best condition.
He decided.
First follow the palace.
Especially when the harem began.
Qin Shi Huang liked to be extravagant and high-profile.
It was mainly manifested in the building of palaces, collecting beautiful women, and rare beasts.
The Great Qin Emperor's palaces included the Qi Palace, Chu Palace, Yan Palace, Zhao Palace, Wei Palace, Han Palace, Xianyang Palace, Epang Palace, Dai Palace, Yong Palace…There were more than 60 palaces in total, totaling 270 palaces.
Amongst them.
The Qi Palace, Chu Palace, Yan Palace, Zhao Palace, Wei Palace, and Han Palace were collectively known as the Six Nations Palace!
According to the Chronicles of the First Emperor of Qin," Every time Qin conquered a vassal state, he imitated its palace. He built it on the northern slope of Xianyang, facing the Wei River in the south, and from Yongmen to the east of Jingwei River. The palace houses were connected to each other, and the Zhou Pavilion was connected. The bells and drums of the princes and beautiful women captured were used to fill the palace.”
It meant…
Every time Qin destroyed a country.
The emperor would replicate the palace of the country to Xianyang.
The treasures, beauties, bells, drums, and musical instruments that he had snatched from the six dynasties were all stored inside.
The Six Nations Palaces naturally became the harem of the Great Qin Emperor. During the reign of Qin Shihuang, there were already more than 10,000 palace maids in the harem.
Three years after Qin II.
He was even crazily recruiting beautiful women from the common people.
At this moment, there were 30,000 palace maids in the Six Nations Palace.
Most of them were young and beautiful women. They couldn't go out and had nothing to do all day. Just eating, drinking, and defecating were already very shocking.
Ying Lin didn't understand.
What was the Emperor searching for so many beauties for?
Assuming that he had enough energy every day, he would be able to dote on an average of one beauty every day. In a year, there would be a total of 365 beauties. Even if he didn't do the same thing every night for ten years, there would only be more than 3,000 beauties, which was only about one-tenth of the total.
Needless to say.
It was impossible for the emperor to favor different palace maids every day.
The vast majority of the palace maids in the Six Nations Palaces were just for decoration. More than eighty to ninety percent of them might not be able to see the emperor in their entire lives, and the emperor would most likely not notice them until he died.
Other than the Six Nations Palace, which was the harem.
Great Qin also had 50 different palaces.
The palaces built by Qin Shihuang spanned two hundred miles inside and outside of Xianyang. There were a total of two hundred and seventy halls, connected by multiple roads, and they were extremely majestic.
Amongst them.
Epang Palace was the most famous and largest.
Epang Palace, along with the Great Wall, the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, and Qin Zhidao, were known as the "Four Great Works of Qin Shihuang"!
It was said that…
It consumed 700,000 labor points!
The total area of the palace complex was tens of square kilometers.
It had been built since the time of Qin Shihuang. After the death of the first emperor, Qin II continued to build for his own enjoyment in order to inherit his last wish. Until now, he had not completely stopped.
Some people in the later generations believed that.
Epang Palace was one of the main reasons for Great Qin's decline.
The glorious Epang Palace, the palaces of the six countries with tens of thousands of palace maids, and the construction of the Great Wall gave the six countries of Shandong a reason to rebel against Qin. It greatly lowered the hearts of the people of Great Qin and indirectly pushed the world to rebel against Qin.
During this period of time.
Ziying had already given the order.
The construction of Epang Palace was suspended.
Tens of thousands of soldiers were selected to form a group of elite soldiers.
This batch of soldiers and a group of young men recruited from the people.
Ziying estimated that he could recruit about 30,000 new soldiers for His Majesty.
Although the construction of the Palace of Afang had been halted, Ziying could not interfere with the Six Nations Palaces. After all, the Six Nations Palaces were the Emperor's harem. The only person in the world who could interfere with the Six Nations Palaces was the Emperor himself.
Ying Lin was also having a headache.
How should he deal with the tens of thousands of palace maids and thousands of eunuchs?
Giving them freedom and letting them leave was simply inappropriate.
The emperor occupying thousands of beautiful women made people jealous.
However, the vast majority of palace maids and eunuchs were used to life in the palace, let alone in such a chaotic world.
Most of them had no means of making a living. If they were dismissed and chased out of the palace, they would instead become refugees and hungry people, which would eventually aggravate the current turmoil and chaos.
This was a little tricky.
Ying Lin pondered.
He decided to make a trip to the Six Nations Palace.
