No wonder Everyone Wants to Be the Emperor
China had a long history and was one of the four ancient civilizations on the Blue Planet.
The 5000-year-long civilization naturally gave birth to various ruling systems.
For example, the Xia Dynasty used to have an abdication system. From the leaders of the country to the elders of the tribes, everyone used this system.
Xia and Shang, on the other hand, had transitioned from a public world to a family world. This was the so-called hereditary system.
During the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, it was the enfeoffment system.
After the First Emperor unified China, he implemented the prefecture and county system in the local areas and the three dukes and nine ministers system in the central government.
The Han Dynasty followed the Qin system, so the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties followed the Qin Dynasty system.
During the Three Kingdoms, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties, due to the frequent social unrest and wars, the aristocratic families gradually replaced the imperial power to obtain the power of the local and even the central court. In order to allow their own family to continue to use the power of governance, a new official system was born during the Three Kingdoms period.
That was the Nine-Grade System.
According to this system, only the great clans were qualified to be officials.
Ordinary people could only be obedient for their entire lives.
However, after the Sui Dynasty put an end to the chaotic times, the nine-grade system that reversed history was also swept into the trash.
It was replaced by the three provinces and six departments system.
The selection system became the imperial examination system.
This system had been used from the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the Song Dynasty.
After Meng Yuan established his regime, he established a provincial system.
Emperor Hongwu overthrew the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty and used the provincial system of the Yuan Dynasty. However, the central government used the three provinces and six departments system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
But because of the Hu Weiyong case.
Not only was Prime Minister Hu Weiyong corrupt, he even plotted a rebellion.
At first, Zhu Yuanzhang watched coldly from the sidelines, then dealt with him ruthlessly.
With the outbreak of Hu Weiyong's case, he even abolished the position of Prime Minister that had been used for thousands of years in various Chinese courts.
Abolish the three provinces (Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, Shangshu Province), and the six departments will be directly responsible to the emperor.
This was the case for the central government, and the yamens in various places were generally the same.
For example, Shangyuan County had six departments.
Of course, it was another form of address.
For example, the Bureau of Personnel in the county government was called the Bureau of Personnel. It was in charge of the establishment of petty officials in the county government and had the same authority as the Bureau of Personnel in the imperial court.
For example, the 'Ministry of Justice' in the county government was called the 'torture room'. It was in charge of all the big and small cases in Shangyuan County, and its authority was similar to the Ministry of Justice.
Because Old Zhu was a famous model worker, he stipulated that the officials in the capital had to go to the morning court every morning.
As for the local officials, Old Zhu didn't let them stay idle either.
The local officials also had to attend the morning court session every morning. However, the morning court session of the local officials was where all the subordinates gathered in the main hall of the yamen to report to the official on the progress of yesterday's work and what work was about to be carried out today…
Ye Jin was no exception.
Every morning, he would dress neatly and come to the main hall of the county government. He would sit under the board that read 'Bright Mirror Hanging High' and accept the worship of the county government's assistant officials and petty officials.
It was quite imposing.
The weather was good today.
It was only past eight in the morning, but the sun's rays had already filled the small courtyard.
Chan Chan hummed a tune as she busied herself in the small courtyard.
Ye Jin had already woken up.
He first practiced boxing in the courtyard for an hour until his whole body felt hot. Then, he went to the well to fetch water and wash up.
He had been in this world for almost half a year. As long as he signed in on time every day, he could receive the system's reward.
The rewards given by the system were very messy.
There were fist manuals, inner force cultivation techniques, pills, mechanical blueprints, prescriptions, and even various high-yield grain seeds...
There was even one time when he was rewarded with a flintlock spear.
However, Ye Jin had long practiced profound martial arts, so he had the ability to protect himself even in an army of ten thousand.
Therefore, he gave this flintlock short spear to Chan Chan for her to use for self-defense.
After washing up, she drank the meat porridge that Chan Chan brought over.
Ye Jin then dressed up neatly and came to the county hall from the backyard.
It was just after seven in the morning (from seven to nine in the morning) when Ye Jin stepped into the main hall of the county government.
Then, an electronic voice sounded in his mind. Ding, sign-in successful.
Ye Jin turned a blind eye to this voice and walked towards the center of the main hall without any hesitation.
When he walked to the center of the main hall and sat on the chair under the signboard hanging high in the mirror, he saw more than 30 people standing on both sides of the main hall, led by a middle-aged man, facing Ye Jin.
The middle-aged man cupped his hands and bowed, while the others knelt on the ground.
"Greetings, County Lord…"
His voice was loud and imposing.
No matter who was sitting in this position, enjoying so many people's kowtows every day, it was possible for anyone to feel smug, right?!
And this was only the treatment of a seventh-rank Sesame Official.
If it was the old emperor, he would probably have been overjoyed, right?!
No wonder everyone wanted to be the emperor.!
Not to mention anything else, he enjoyed being kowtowed three times and nine times every day.
Just thinking about it felt good.
