In addition.
From this incident, it could be seen that the ruler of a country was very particular about the way and method of doing things.
It wasn't like the Emperor could open his mouth and announce an edict, and the various factions in the imperial court could carry it out without hindrance.
The confrontation between the bureaucrats was inevitable.
The emperor needed to maintain stability while keeping the balance.
Now, there was a problem.
After the scholars of Maoling became the aristocrats of Great Qin, could they directly join Li Si and become the faction of the six foreign ministers?
Of course not!
The reason why the Guanzhong aristocratic faction, the military faction, and the Ying family faction would acknowledge the faction led by Li Si was because Li Si and the others had indeed made indelible contributions in the process of unifying the world!
On the other hand, what was there in the ranks of Maoling scholars?
There's nothing!
You want to occupy a place in Guanzhong just by paying a little money!
What right do you have?
One radish, one pit!
Without credit as a endorsement, it was equivalent to having no foundation and was destined to not be able to occupy a spot!
But now that the State of Qin had expanded to thirty-six counties, they indeed needed some grassroots officials and Qin officials who could do practical things.
Yin Shang thought for a moment and said,""On the basis of allowing Maoling scholars to be officials, we should add a standard of honest and corrupt officials!”
"The so-called clean officials refer to the original Guanzhong aristocratic faction, the foreign minister faction, and the descendants of the military and noble factions. After they enter the court as officials, due to the influence of their families, they can take on some positions that are rich and powerful, but the work is relatively easy, the rank is higher, and they have the power to make decisions!”
" The so-called Turbid Officials are held by the scholars and ministers of Maoling. Left Prime Minister Li Si will choose the available people to take up the positions of busy and low-ranking officials who only have the responsibility of carrying out tasks but have no power to make decisions.”
……
The honest and corrupt officials that Yin Shang mentioned was actually a tacit rule that extended from the later nine-grade system.
In other words, the aristocratic families held high positions.
Humble descendants could only serve as basic officials at the executive level.
Therefore, the Nine-rank system and the Inspectorate system were both publicly acknowledged as tools for promotion in the hands of the aristocratic families.
However, a system had to be seen in accordance with the times.
The current Qin Country had just unified the world.
If Yin Shang wanted to implement the imperial examination system…
That was completely empty talk.
The people at the bottom of the society were illiterate, and the cost of making bamboo slips was extremely expensive.
For example, if a commoner's family had a bamboo slip with words engraved on it, it could often be passed down from generation to generation as a family heirloom.
Also, when the First Emperor Ying Zheng had issued an edict to confiscate the ancient books and records, the dukes and Confucians of the six dynasties had resisted fiercely. There was a very important reason behind this…bamboo slips were basically equivalent to gold!
Forcibly collecting ancient books was much faster than robbing money.
As for the promotion of education and the spread of Xuan paper.
It was also very difficult.
Not to mention that those old fellows of the scholarly faction would think that Xuan paper was a great disrespect to the wisdom of the sages of the past.
Just based on Great Qin's military achievements, they would have strong opinions.
According to the system of military merits and titles, only those who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield and established meritorious deeds could obtain the qualifications for their children to enter school and receive education.
If Xuan paper was popularized…it would be equivalent to the promotion of word education…
This caused Great Qin's military contribution class to suffer losses!
Therefore, he had no choice.
Many things couldn't be done immediately.
He had to consider the limitations of the times.
Of course!
The good news was that the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, was the founder of the country. His prestige, power, and rationality were all full!
If Ying Zheng was really determined to enact an epoch-making system, he could directly push it down through his personal will!
The prefecture and county system was the best example.
At this moment.
"Clean officials, dirty officials!"
"The Headmaster's decision is very precise and precise," Fu Su said softly. In this way, the scholars and ministers of Maoling could see the hope of becoming officials in the court, and they would be more inclined to agree to the migration.”
"The nobles in Guanzhong will also feel that they still hold a high position, so their acceptance of the Maoling children will greatly increase.”
"From there, we can rapidly increase the administrative efficiency of the Qin country in the various prefectures and counties!”
……
Fu Su was very smart and understood everything.
The system of honest and honest officials could greatly shorten the period of integration between Maoling's scholars and the original bureaucrats of the Great Qin Dynasty.
This was very important.
He couldn't just continue to implement the Maoling system.
The scholar-officials of the Central Plains had also entered the imperial court as officials, but they were ostracized by the nobles and military dignitaries in Guanzhong and could do nothing but sit on the bench.
This was quite detrimental to Great Qin's administrative efficiency.
"Note that the rules of acquiescence between honest and corrupt officials can only be used as a lubricant to mediate. It must not be implemented as a long-term policy.”
Yin Shang didn't want to see the hierarchy become too rigid.
Great Qin wanted to unify the Nine Provinces for a long time.
There must be a path for the scholars of Maoling to rise in the future, including the common people of the Humble Class below. There must be a chance and hope for them to rise in the future!
He could not allow the factions of the Guanzhong nobles, military elites, and foreign ministers to continue expanding. Otherwise…the Huangchao Uprising would erupt sooner or later!
The Heavenly Street trampled on the bones of the public officials!
The palace treasury was burned to ashes!
This was the price one had to pay when the hierarchy was solidified to the extreme!
