Chapter 767 Chapter 313: All Officials Astounded! Grand Implementation of National Policies! Appointment of Jiuzhou State Governors! (Part 3)
Make the corrupt officials and corrupt officials of the world tremble with fear.
“Alright.”
“Feng’er.”
“Let’s get to the main topic.”
Ying Zheng smiled, his face showing an indescribable expectation.
Clearly,
he couldn’t wait to see the shocked expressions of the ministers.
“Chen Ping.”
Zhao Feng smiled.
“Bring it out and distribute it to the officials.”
Chen Ping immediately shouted towards the outside of the hall.
The ministers curiously watched.
In the next moment,
they saw more than a dozen Imperial Guards carrying several large boxes.
Under the curious gazes of the Hundred Officials, the Imperial Guards opened the boxes, revealing books bound into volumes inside.
“What is this?”
The ministers looked on in astonishment.
The Imperial Guards then picked up the books and distributed them to the officials.
When Han Fei and other prominent ministers took it in hand first, they couldn’t help but be shocked.
“This… what is this? It’s neither silk nor a memorial, but it has words written on it?”
“So light it is?” Yu Liao exclaimed.
“This item is called paper, and these bound ones are called books made of paper.” Chen Ping said with a smile.
“But why are the words on these books all the same? Could they have been written by one person?” Han Fei immediately noticed the book in his hand had the exact same font as the one in Li Si’s hand, clearly written by one person.
“These characters are not handwritten, but printed using movable type printing.” Chen Ping smiled, his tone full of pride.
“Movable type printing? Printing?”
“Books made of paper?”
The ministers were extremely shocked to see this.
Clearly, this also overturned their preconceived notions.
This was something they had never seen before.
“His Highness the Crown Prince is a Sage bestowed upon our Qin by Heaven.”
“Paper was created by His Highness, and movable type printing was also invented by him.”
“A piece of paper can have hundreds of characters written on it, light and convenient. A page of paper can contain content exceeding over a hundred bamboo slips.”
“Moreover, ”
“In the future, book copying and law enforcement won’t require manual writing; we can directly use movable type printing.”
“All my colleagues are talented, surely you understand the significance of these two treasures for our Qin.” Chen Ping exclaimed loudly.
The entire court was shocked, while flipping through the books in their hands.
All eyes gathered towards Zhao Feng.
“The Crown Prince is a Sage.”
“We officials deeply admire.”
“With His Majesty and the Crown Prince, Qin will surely prosper forever.”
The civil and military officials all shouted in unison.
How could they not understand the meaning represented by these paper and movable type printing?
This will completely rewrite the cultural heritage of Qin.
“My ministers.”
“Do you now understand how important the Crown Prince is to our Qin?”
“These are merely the small achievements demonstrated by the Crown Prince.” Ying Zheng also laughed proudly.
To have such an accomplished son, Ying Zheng was naturally immeasurably happy.
“Your Majesty is wise.”
All civil and military officials echoed.
“I have discussed with my father.”
“The population of Qin is over eighty million.”
“Of which less than a million can read and write.”
“My proud Huaxia People, how can it be like this?”
“I use the emergence of paper and movable type printing to enlighten the people of Qin.” Zhao Feng calmly said.
“Creating books in volumes, spreading them throughout the world, and using national power to build academies will surely enlighten the people of the world.” Han Fei said excitedly.
“Chancellor Han is indeed a prominent minister of Qin; what I think, Chancellor Han has guessed.” Zhao Feng smiled slightly.
Then he scanned the civil and military officials.
“I have agreed with my father.”
“Once the four national policies are implemented, academies will be established nationwide.”
“First, divide into Nine Provinces and Thirty-Six Counties.”
“Within the Nine Provinces of Qin, starting from prefectural cities, establish County School Palaces, with County School Palaces City establish County School Palaces, and in states establish State Academy.”
“County School Palaces teach recognition of words and literacy.”
“County School Palaces teach military and political principles.”
“State Academy teaches strategies for stabilizing the country and keeping peace.”
“Above State Academy, establish a Capital City Academy in Xianyang to examine students from Nine Provinces of Qin. Those who pass the examination can enter the court to become officials.” Zhao Feng directly read the strategy of Nine Provinces and Thirty-Six Counties, and even the plan of academies to the Hundred Officials, which he had initially agreed with his father.
Upon hearing this,
the ministers all showed horrified expressions.
Even just from Zhao Feng’s words, they could hear the ambition in Zhao Feng’s tone, along with his great wish to change the Great Qin Divine Land.
At this moment,
each minister thought of the words Zhao Feng said when he first came to the court as Crown Prince.
“Be the heart of Heaven and Earth, establish the destiny for living people, continue the learning of the sages, and open peace for all generations.”
This was not a mere idle talk from Zhao Feng.
But something he truly intended to implement.
Enlighten the people of the world.
How magnificent is that?
How grand?
“Your Majesty is wise.”
“The Crown Prince is wise.”
The civil and military officials echoed in unison.
Such a matter beneficial to the world of Qin, naturally there was no one who would dare oppose.
“Nine Provinces have been established, set by our Huaxia’s Nine Tripod Cauldrons.”
“The Thirty-Six Counties of Qin have been established.”
“Now.”
“The governance of Nine Provinces has a chief officer, who should be appointed as State Governor, overseeing a state’s administration.” Ying Zheng declared authoritatively.
His gaze swept across.
One by one, names were spoken by Ying Zheng.
“Yan Bing, appointed as State Governor of Yang Province, given the seal of State Governor, overseeing affairs of Yang Province, commanding all prefectural governors of Yang Province.”
“Cai Ci, appointed as State Governor of Jing State, given the seal of State Governor, overseeing affairs of Jing State…”
“Yao Jia, appointed as State Governor of Xuzhou…”
“Meng Yi, appointed as State Governor of Yu State…”
“Feng Jie, appointed as State Governor of Yong State…”
“Fusu, appointed as State Governor of Qingzhou…”
“Feng Shuang, appointed as State Governor of Ji State…”
“Li You, appointed as State Governor of Gunzhou…”
“Lv Wen, appointed as State Governor of Liang State…”
As Ying Zheng spoke,
apart from Fusu,
eight ministers standing in the court stepped forward, standing together, bowing towards Ying Zheng and Zhao Feng.
“State Governors of Nine Provinces are directly appointed by I and the Crown Prince.”
“State Governors oversee the administration of a state, manage government and civilian affairs, and enforce laws.”
“This is a heavy responsibility, a serious duty.”
“I hope you will not disappoint I and the Crown Prince.”
Ying Zheng gazed sternly at the eight ministers before him.
