I’m The King Chapter 1110: : East and West (one hundred and three)
Qin destroyed South Korea and set up three counties. When King Wulie of Qin launched a war against Han, he sent the three counties of Han to Chu State in exchange for sending troops from Chu State. Without sitting still, the Han army won consecutive victories on several battlefields. The battlefield situation was reversed. After leaving the land of Han, the land of Han returned to the Kingdom of Han.
After the Qin State sent out the three counties of Handi, the only thing left was Yingchuan, an important place on the border between Qin and Han, and after Xu Yuan took down Handi, he finally hit a wall in Yingchuan. After several fierce battles with the remaining troops of the Qin army, Yingchuan was still not taken down. Afterwards, Qin and Han signed a peace agreement, and the war ended. Xu Yuan led his troops to retreat and stationed in Yingshui, opposite Yingchuan, to confront the Qin army.
At the end of September in the second year of the Han Dynasty, Yingying, the new king of the state of Qin, appointed Tan Feng, a former Yan native, as the general and stationed in Yingchuan.
The New Year's bell has already struck, but Tan Feng's room is still lit with candlelight, and the shadow reflected on the window paper shows that he is still looking at the files intently.
Carrying a tray, Tan Kang pushed open the door and walked in. The room is huge, but there is only a brazier lit in the middle, and the heat emitted is not enough to change the temperature inside the room. The same coldness. Tan Kang put the tray on the square table and walked to Tan Feng's side.
"Master, the new year has come, I wish you all the best in the new year." Tan Kang said with a smile on his face.
Tan Feng raised his head and looked at the other party, "Ah, is the New Year already here?" Listening to the melodious bells from the city, he suddenly realized, "Ah, it's really the New Year. Tan Kang, thank you , but I didn't prepare a red envelope!"
Tan Kang smiled and said: "Young man is in good health and everything is going well, that is the biggest red envelope for Tan Kang! Young master, let's add some more pots of fire in the room, it's too cold."
"No, the cold can keep my mind clear." Tan Feng shook his head.
"Master!" Tan Kang said in a low voice: "Tan Kang knows what the young master is thinking, but the young master must always make himself comfortable. If you want to defeat Gao Yuan, it is not something you can do in a short time. Arrived."
Tan Feng chuckled and patted Tan Kang on the shoulder, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. I have to do something to be at ease. Water drips through stone. As long as I keep doing it, there will always be rewards. , since it is already the first day of the new year, I will take a rest, come, Tan Kang, have a drink with me."
Tan Feng glanced at the dishes on the tray and said with a smile: "Why is there no wine? Since it's the New Year, of course we have to drink."
"Master, it's already early morning, it's too late, you can drink some porridge, eat some side dishes, and then rest!"
"No, no, go get some wine, I'm in a good mood today, let's have a few drinks with me." Tan Feng said enthusiastically.
"Well, young master, please wait, I will come right away." Tan Kang turned and left.
Tan Feng stretched his waist, exhaled a long breath of stale air, went to the window, opened the window, let the cold air pour in, walked to the table, picked up another Dossier.
It has been several months since I arrived in Yingchuan. During these few months, what Tan Feng did the most was to collect all the information of the Han Kingdom for research, and only a small part of it was piled up on his case. In the whole room, there are thousands of such files, all of which are the policy information and implementation status released by the Han Dynasty in the past year.
In one year's time, the Han Kingdom has spread the parliamentary system to all counties and counties across the country. Counties have county councils, counties have county councils, and in Jicheng, there is a large council. These councilors are composed of the most ordinary people. Elected by one vote, each member has a term of three years. These members usually have no special things to do. They only gather together when they encounter some major issues and need to vote. For example, the county magistrates of various counties appointment.
This is extremely funny to Tan Feng. This method seems to be a system that existed thousands of years ago. Is it retro? Tan Feng does not think so. Although the county magistrate has a small official position, it is under the jurisdiction of the central government. The local first-level yamen is the most important place. If the central government does not have the right to appoint and remove these county officials, how can they urge these county officials to do things for the court? It is like collecting taxes. This is the lifeblood of a country’s government. These counties Officials are elected by the common people, and the future is in the hands of these common people. How dare you offend these common people when collecting taxes? Once you offend them, after three years, you will definitely leave. Who are they? In Tan Feng's hands, there is a list of members of Yingshui opposite. Of course there are scholars and gentlemen in it, but more of them are some so-called respected old farmers and famous craftsmen. There is even a pig butcher. It is said that the reason why this person was elected is because he often gives some leftovers after slaughtering pigs and selling meat to poor people who cannot afford meat. What can these people do?
Tan Feng snorted.
At the county level, a county magistrate is finally nominated by the imperial center, but must be approved by the county council. If the county council cannot vote more than half of the votes, the county magistrate who was nominated by the central center can only be disheartened The central government will propose candidates again.
"It's really a farce!" Tan Feng shook his head. If the sky wanted to destroy it, it must first make it crazy. It seems that the great success of the past ten years has made Gao Yuan dazzled by the victory, so arrogant I thought I was omnipotent. If things go on like this, it won’t take many years for the Han Dynasty to lose control of the region.
This judgment makes Tan Feng full of confidence in defeating Gao Yuan, defeating, and destroying his Han Kingdom in the future.
The Court of Justice made the entire legal system out of the jurisdiction of the Political Affairs Hall and became an independent system. How can the law effectively deter the people when it is out of the jurisdiction of the Zhengshitang? Judging from the cases that have been judged by the courts of the Han Kingdom at all levels, there are several cases that Tan Feng believes have harmed the interests of the government and fulfilled those tricky people. Min, it's just nonsense. However, Gao Yuan still holds the right to nominate the government official, and it seems that he still has a hand, and he is not confused.
The only thing Tan Feng is interested in about these new laws of the Han Kingdom is their patent protection law. He has fought Gao Yuan for many years, and the most headache for Tan Feng is that Gao Yuan's subordinates always have endless new equipment. These new things are not only above the military, but also cover almost every level, from the improvement of various weapons above the military, to the improvement of iron smelting and steel training technology at the end, to various new weapons and new technologies for civilian use. With continuous use, the Han Kingdom is always far ahead of other countries in all aspects, which also allows him to leave other countries behind in military and civil matters.
The promulgation of this bill is obviously to protect those talents who invent and create new technologies. It can be seen from the content that anyone who invents a new technology only needs to be in the newly established Han country. The patent office applies for a patent, and anyone who adopts the technology must pay the inventor a certain fee. It will stimulate more people to invest in invention and innovation.
The emergence of more new technologies will make the Han State even stronger. This makes Tan Feng frightened. Regarding the effect on the patent law of the Han State, Tan Feng has already written a report and reported it to the King of Qin. He hopes that the State of Qin will also This provision can be implemented, but Tan Feng also knows that this is only his own wishful thinking.
The state of Qin is different from the state of Han. The state of Qin implements a complete centralization system. Almost all famous master craftsmen in the country are concentrated in the craftsman camp in Xianyang. According to Tan Feng's understanding, even if you make something New technology, all proceeds are owned by the state, it has nothing to do with craftsmen, it’s great to get you a small gauze hat, if you run into a black-hearted official who manages the craftsman camp, this reward is not at all Can't fall on the craftsman's head.
There is also a deeper concern for Tan Feng. Will the promulgation of the Patent Protection Law of the Han Dynasty cause Qin's craftsmen to flee? Especially those who secretly developed new technologies, they brought If these new technologies flee to Han, it will not only be the loss of a technology, but the strength of both sides will increase!
He also wrote down this worry in the line, hoping to attract the attention of King Qin, but now the one who holds the right to speak in the court is still the Li Confucianism, and Tan Feng's most trusted person, Or General Lu Chao.
Although they are both great generals, Tan Feng is very clear that he and Lu Chao are not at the same level. King Qin and Lu Chao have worked together for a long time, and have fought under Lu Chao's command for many years. The trust relationship between the two parties is not comparable to myself.
I hope Li Ru and Lu Chao can see the crisis. Tan Feng sighs silently.
"Young Master, here comes the wine!" Tan Kang pushed the door open, holding another tray in his hand, "Young Master wants to drink, so I asked the kitchen to prepare some good dishes."
"Okay, come on, Tan Kang, let's drink a few glasses together, hey, this is the best wine of the Wu family in Han, where did you get it?" Looking at the exquisite wine jug on the tray, Tan Kang Feng said in surprise. Although the Qin and Han countries have ceased fighting, but in a place like Yingchuan where the two armies are facing each other, there is basically no market for this kind of high-end wine, and there will be no merchants coming here to sell this kind of more than ten taels. Silver pot of good wine.
"The young master has been immersing himself in the study for the past few months. There are still great changes outside. It was bought by a business in our Yingchuan. It is in Yingshui on the opposite side. I heard that Wu Wu's Liquor opened a store in Yingshui opposite, the price was 20% lower than that on the market, this merchant went to Yingshui to wholesale a batch of Wu's Liquor, as you know, Wu's Liquor is cheaper than ours Domestic wines are much better, except for these high-end products, the price is not higher than ours, and now everyone buys Wu’s wine, I saw this by chance two days ago, so I bought a few pots back, originally It is going to be brought to the young master tomorrow."
"That's right!" Tan Feng took a deep breath. (To be continued)
