But no matter where the Sage was now…
In the end, this was not an obstacle to unification, but a hidden danger after unification.
Lao Tzu was good, Confucius was good.
These Sages were all people without a ruler or father. They only had their own Dao in their hearts.
During the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, no sage had ever joined a country.
Therefore, Ying Zheng did not take this matter as his top priority.
What he valued more was the dynasty's ability to progress by 10%, the ability to communicate with the myriad worlds!!!
Only by obtaining this ability could he truly accumulate his foundation.
It was to prepare for the descent of the Chaos thirty years later.
………………
Three days passed.
With the full cooperation of Shang Yang, Zhang Yi, and the others.
The six ministries gradually became harmonious, even though there was no one in the Bureau of Military Personnel to take up the post of minister.
However, this did not affect the development of the army.
With Wang Jian and Meng Ao, these two old generals, around, it was enough to organize all the armaments properly.
This was especially so now that Great Qin was asking for battle.
In front of the unification, no one dared to stand out and stop it.
The small six departments of the prefecture and county were also progressing in an orderly manner.
Even though Great Qin did not have enough officials.
However, Great Qin's 12 counties had to be properly organized.
Shang Yang and the others were in charge of the six tribes, and they were constantly sending officials to the county.
One by one, the appointments were passed to Ying Zheng, and then they were approved and sent to the various counties.
He would first control the county, and then extend from the county to the county.
After all, because of the military merit system, Great Qin's control over regions far exceeded that of the six countries.
Plus, with Ying Zheng's current momentum, the promotion was going smoothly, at least there was no chaos.
But even so, the power struggle was still surging.
Especially those county governors who were originally dukes. How could they be willing to have five county mayors suddenly split up their power?
In addition, there were powerful clans everywhere.
These clans had existed since the founding of the Qin Dynasty.
Even though Shang Yang had killed many during his reform, there were still a large number of them.
These were the foundations of the Qin Dynasty.
This was a severe test for both Great Qin and the newly appointed officials.
It was also the reason why Shang Yang and the others had felt that Ying Zheng was a little too hasty.
However, Shang Yang alone could suppress him back then.
Now, with Ying Zheng and the approval of all the ministers, it was not that exaggerated.
However, it was not something that could be completely changed in a few days.
Ying Zheng was naturally aware of this, but he had to do it as soon as possible.
If it wasn't for the fact that these newly appointed officials of the six ministries needed time to gain a firm foothold, they would have been able to do so.
Ying Zheng would not even wait three months for the Sage Gathering Festival to start. He would rather it end in a month.
This was because there were not enough officials.
By distributing them to the various counties, Great Qin had already used up most of its reserves of officials. Now, if they wanted to settle down the counties, they would need at least a few thousand more officials.
At this point, the changes in the six departments had come to an end.
Unless the Sage Gathering Festival ended, Ying Zheng had no way to strengthen his control.
…………
Three days later.
The court meeting resumed.
Ying Zheng glanced at his dynasty progress-9%.
According to his previous progress, he would be able to activate the ability of the myriad worlds in two days at most.
At that time, it would be time to conquer the heavens.
He retracted his gaze and swept his gaze across the civil and military officials below. He said indifferently,"Since the six-department system is progressing smoothly, I intend to readjust the ranks of official positions.”
"From now on, Great Qin will no longer use the nine ministers system, but will change it to nine grades and eighteen grades.”
"Shang Yang will be the first rank and Zhang Yi will be the first rank.”
"The six ministers are of the second rank or below.”
"And so on…"
"The military merit system will remain unchanged. It will still be level 20 corresponding to level 9 and level 18!”
The 20-level military merit system was Great Qin's foundation.
Ying Zheng had no intention of changing, but instead, he wanted to encourage them.
As for why level 20 corresponded to level 18…
This was because the 18th level and above was the title of Marquis!
It was not easy to become a Marquis of the Inner Pass.
Naturally, there was no way to calculate it.
"In the army, only those with a noble title can take up the corresponding official position. Under the same conditions, those with a higher noble title will be promoted first.”
After Ying Zheng finished speaking, the people below fell into deep thought.
Shang Yang, Zhang Yi, and the other civil officials frowned slightly. They had thought that Ying Zheng would suppress the military merit system by changing his official position.
After all, Great Qin's military merits were quite a problem, and it was still okay for it to have enemies from the six countries.
But what if there were no enemies?
At that time, it was very likely that the military merit system would collapse.
It was better to use Ying Zheng's prestige to change it instantly.
But now, Ying Zheng was faintly encouraging him.
This was a little strange, but they couldn't say much. After all, this involved the army!
Even though Wang Jian and Meng Ao were also slightly surprised, they were even more excited.
To soldiers like them, it was a great deed to be promoted with meritorious service!
In fact, Ying Zheng had thought about it carefully, but he did not care about the collapse of the military merit system.
This was because once he obtained the ability of the myriad worlds.
Then, Great Qin would have to conquer the heavens. At that time, would the myriad worlds not be enough for Great Qin to conquer?!
Therefore, he had no choice.
How could Ying Zheng suppress the military merit system? He even felt that such conditions were not good enough.
He wanted to encourage everyone to join the army and fight.
It would be best if all the people were soldiers.
Only then could the Immortal Qin Empire be established!!
