Popularizing education, Confucius, who created the style of private learning thousands of years ago, had the ideal of teaching without distinction, and today he finally saw the dawn of realization.

But what is ironic is that this is not done by the scholars who claim to be disciples of saints, but by the dawn seen in the hands of the new emperor who was a military general.

His Majesty the New Emperor was born as a military general, and the first edict to be civilized was to popularize education in the three southeastern provinces and northern Zhili.

Some people can't understand it, they just think that the emperor is doing it, while others understand it, they know that the emperor is playing a big game of chess when doing this.

Thinking of the emperor's decree that officials had to pay agricultural taxes for their land in their homes, they knew very well that the emperor wanted to take advantage of this wave to eliminate the tradition of preferential treatment of gentry.

Not only do they tame them now, but they also have to eliminate the gentry from the root.

To this end, we will prepare for both ways and popularize education, so as not to let education become a monopoly resource. We will also establish military academies, strengthen military strength, and fight against the possible civil servants' power.

No one knows how the emperor came up with such a trick, no one knows how the emperor pushed such a decree with. They only know that something they couldn't dream of actually happened and it succeeded.

Fengshuo Emperor was preparing to implement the magistrate system implemented in the pre-Han period, and to cut leeks on wealthy and large households that emerged in the local area, to eliminate the possibility of local forces growing bigger, to eliminate the possibility of local demanding power from the central government, and to ensure the operation of centralized power.

The tax policy also clarifies the principle of local governments without authority to manage. All tax collectors are central officials, and belong to the central government, not affiliated with local governments, and have their own system, and have their own transportation policies. They are controlled by the local investigation departments and audit departments of the central government.

The local government allocates the salary of officials and daily expenses and silver quotas to each of them, and retains the local bank treasury, and all the rest will be handed over to the central government and will be allocated and used uniformly by the central government.

In order to respond to the emergency, the central government has also set up tax bank warehouses and granaries in the local area to preserve a certain amount of tax bank and the collected grain. They are all sent by the central government to manage. If the local government wants to use it in an emergency, it also needs to report it and it is not allowed to take it privately.

We would rather reduce efficiency than allow local governments to interfere in taxation, further restrict local power, and limit local governments to strict control of the central government.

The two evils are the least. Without the support of modern technology, Xiao Ruxun chose the one with less harm and shorter duration from the dilemma decision.

The expansion of local power and the decline of central power are devastating dangers.

To this end, the central government of Daqin expanded on a large scale compared with the Ming Dynasty. More and more officials received salaries from the central government rather than local governments, and belonged to the central government rather than local governments.

Entering the central government to become an official is the yearning for all local officials. A large number of central government-spreading officials have also been stationed in the local area to divide local power. The officials of Heiji began to spread to the local area through the names of the Audit Department and the Investigation Department, becoming Xiao Ruxun's other eye and ear in the local area.

The construction of Dachi Road is being accelerated, expanding from Beijing to all directions. This is like the central government's arm, expanding comprehensively from the location of the central government to the local area, embracing the entire territory of Daqin.

After the main road of Dachi Road was repaired, the branch roads spread to important surrounding cities, forming a reliable transportation network from points to lines, further strengthening the connection between various regions, promoting economic exchanges and development, and enhancing control over the local area.

With a reliable transportation network, the speed of message transmission will increase by at least one third, which may seem inconspicuous. However, at critical moments, if you know the news earlier than the enemy, you can arrange it earlier, seize the initiative and predict that the enemy will be the first.

During the process of completing these tasks, Xiao Ruxun could clearly feel what the emperor was like.

He could feel how the central government's authority in the local area had dropped to a point, and what kind of state was there in the local area where there was a country but didn't know where the country was.

They knew nothing about the concept of the entire country. Some thought it was the world, some thought it was the court, some thought it was the emperor, and some thought it was the capital.

The concept is chaotic, people's morale are distracted, and human and material resources cannot be integrated when needed.

Local officials in the Ming Dynasty could not go to real places at all, and their management of the local area was extremely limited. Once something happened, they would rely on the help of the imperial court and local gentry.

This state of chaos and disorder may seem to be fine, but once the national war reaches the critical moment, it will destroy the country. It has the national strength but cannot be used. The huge elephant is swallowed by a snake. It seems absurd, but it is inevitable.

Xiao Ruxun told the tycoons of central departments more than once at cabinet meetings, the inevitability and legitimacy of strengthening centralization, and asked central officials to be in line with him, coordinate local governments, and tell the central officials how much power they have.

"Now there is no local power. You do whatever you say, local governments will do whatever you want, without any constraints or discounts. The general code is usually conveyed, so any policy must be formulated carefully and consider all aspects, and leave it to the Grand Dynasty meeting for discussion. After accepting inquiries from all parties, choose a location for testing, and then promote it after the test."

Xiao Ruxun stipulated the rules for implementing new policies and orders from central departments like this. He didn't say that it would be fine. After explaining it clearly, the officials who came over Mingming were deeply shocked by this.

After this great reshuffle of the world's forces, new rules began to work, and everything was different from before. At the beginning of the founding of the new dynasty, their lives were not easy at all.

They were so busy with all kinds of things that they didn’t even have enough time to eat and sleep. Although the court was constantly expanding and increasing its staff, more and more capable officials were transferred to the central government to do things, they still felt that they were not enough staff.

But the emperor did not understand them at all. Not only did they have a lot of government affairs, but they also had to engage in wars a day. After fighting here and there, the officials of various departments were dizzy and dazzled, and had no time to think about anything else, so they could only do things.

People with discerning eyes don’t understand what the emperor is doing. In addition to doing things, they are more likely to have no time to engage in political struggles and can only do things with all their hearts. They can’t do anything other than that and shouldn’t do anything.

The new dynasty was the time to be enterprising. They didn’t know whether they were lucky or unlucky, but encountered this era of great change.

From the central government to the local government, officials have to do things, and every official has endless things to do, and they can sleep with their eyes open and close.

Local officials are engaged in construction and demographic management, and central officials are responsible for the acceptance of statistics and tasks. The entire Qin Dynasty is in full swing.

In such a passion, the war in the southwest is undoubtedly the warmest.

A total of 160,000 Qin troops and 40,000 local soldiers were gathered, as well as tens of thousands of civilians and hundreds of transport ships, and a large number of mules, horses, even donkeys and cattle were used to transport supplies to the frontline for war.

Connecting from the southeast to the southwest to the front line, the new officials of Daqin underwent an extremely rigorous examination. The grassroots officials who had just arrived in the local area had to show their abilities. Any problems would be severely held accountable.
