Chapter 1360: Catch the assassin

"The minister currently believes that Qin needs to establish a political party system. Party elections are used to pave the way for the next election of Qin's prime minister." Shang Wen said in a wheelchair.

King Qin sat on the sofa and looked at Shang Wen's report.

"Why did the prime minister present this party report?" Qin Wang asked.

"The minister believes that the current state of Qin needs such a system. At the same time, the term of the minister has passed half. However, the state of Qin does not have a complete electoral system. The reason why the minister was elected as the prime minister is largely due to the fact that the state of Qin At that time, there was no perfect system. But Qin State has gone through a period of development. It needs a system to improve it. It is best to form a legal document and stipulate it." Shang Wen said at this time.

"En." King Qin just gave a gratitude.

"Then Cheng will participate in the next election?" King Qin asked another question at this time.

Shang Wen did not answer. Just shook his head.

"Oh." King Qin was surprised. He saw Shang Wen shaking his head. He understood that Shang Wen wanted to abandon the election of the prime minister.

"Isn't the prime minister willing to serve as the prime minister of Qin again?" King Qin asked immediately.

"Oh." Shang Wen realized only then. King Qin misunderstood what he meant.

"Oh no no no no." Shang Wen immediately denied it at this time.

"Chen, I just don't know." Shang Wen said at this time.

"The minister will take the post of prime minister." Shang Wen recalled his career as prime minister.

"Although Qin State has changed a lot. These are beyond the scope of the minister himself, but these and the minister still think differently. These discrepancies make the minister feel more anxious." Shang Wen lowered his head and said.

"Chen, I'm a little tired. But I'm not reconciled. I don't know whether to retreat or advance." Shang Wen said what was in his heart at this time.

"Is it difficult for the Prime Minister to hold Qin's affairs?" King Qin asked at this time.

"En." Shang Wen nodded at this time.

"Ha ha ha." King Qin just smiled at this moment.

"The prime minister is really a man of temperament." King Qin said with a smile.

But Shang Wen couldn't laugh at all.

"The prime minister tell me about the report!" King Qin said at this time.

"Yes." Shang Wen nodded and said.

In fact, Shangwen seeks re-election. Shang Wen didn't think about it. He thought about it, but thought that seeking re-election would be too tiring. Many of Qin's affairs are beyond Shangwen's control. Shang Wen no longer knew how to manage Qin's affairs. Although some of Shangwen's ideas are still compatible with Qin State to some extent. However, it has not been realized in some areas. For example, freedom and equality, and proactive sailing. Then there is the Qin State adopts diplomatic means to unify. It is best to unify through economic mergers. But these have significant effects, but no actual gains. All these make Shang Wen very frustrated. There is also judicial reform. right now. The lawyer got acquiescence. But in the judicial process, lawyers still cannot be recognized.

Lawyers are just mostly involved in matters concerning the provisions of corporate judicial contracts. In judicial disputes among ordinary people. The commission of lawyers is not very common.

At the same time, Qin's judicial system and political system were still entangled and failed to separate out in time. This makes Shang Wen very worried. Shangwen several times asked King Qin to allow himself to separate the judicial system. But King Qin failed to agree. All these make Shang Wen very worried. Because the following reforms will bottom out the deep-seated reforms of the Qin State. Moreover, Qin's economy is also undergoing transformation. This is a huge crossroads. Shang Wen is standing at this critical crossroads. Shangwen's confusion is because Qin has too many choices. The previous reforms made Shangwen feel increasingly unconfident.

"Qin's economy is now developing. At the same time, my tenure has gone by about three-quarters." Shang Wen said. Qin's election is in November. That is to say, one month after the end of the New Year in Qin. And now, the month has quietly entered late April. Shangwen's term of office this year is only a few months away.

"Economic development?" King Qin didn't understand why such a sentence came suddenly. Shangwen himself didn't know that his language organization at this time was very problematic.

"Yes. Qin's economic development. Qin's development now extends to people from all walks of life. Qin's economy, especially tax-based fiscal revenue, mostly comes from these industries, for example, Qin's industrial manufacturing, and There are commercial trade, and banking income, in addition to countless various financial service industries." Shang Wen said.

"If Qin wants to improve his economy, the interests of these industries have to be considered. This requires us to fully consider what they mean in the next elections." Shang Wen said.

"The public election is to integrate the interests of all aspects. Put the interests of the State of Qin on the table. Let the people of the State of Qin elect the prime minister who meets their requirements." Shang Wen explained.

"En." King Qin nodded his head and acknowledged Shang Wen's ideas. Shang Wen's thoughts opened up King Qin's thinking. Before the election. King Qin never thought of this at all. All he thought of was that using a force to check and balance the power of the prime minister was too large. Now it seems. The prime minister's power has been limited. At least it was restricted before the election.

If you want to be on stage. Some reforms must be made, and these reforms need to be in the interests of all parties. This is before the election, put forward a person's political program. Let people choose.

"So what is the political party?" Qin Wang asked at this time.

"Politics. In fact, it is for the convenience of elections." Shang Wen said at this time.

"Different industries and regions are different." Shang Wen gestured at this time.

The territory of the State of Qin is now very wide, from near the Changbai Mountain in eastern Liaoning to near the westernmost mountain range of the State of Qin. The farthest place is the westernmost part of the sky. In the vast territory of Qin State. People from the Central Plains who moved westward are everywhere. Qin has been attracting immigrants from the six countries, although the number of people in the six countries has decreased a lot. Most of the population is affected by the economic development of South Korea. Stay in Korea, where they will seek development opportunities.

"The opinions of all parties are also different." Shang Wen said at this time.

"The territory of Qin is quite vast now. Now that a policy is formulated, it is very likely that it will affect not only the Guanzhong area of ​​Qin, but also the more distant Western Regions and various places in the north. Qin needs to balance the interests and needs of all parties. "Shang Wen said.

"It is not only the demand in space, but also the needs of various industries. You must know that Qin's industries have developed a lot. If only a single industry, such as the previous agriculture, will appear in Qin's national policy The emphasis on the effect." Shang Wen said at this time.

King Qin nodded silently at this time. Scholars from Qin State University conducted a more detailed study on the history of Qin State. They compare some historical data. Come to their own opinion. This view is only an expression of their view.

These scholars wrote their views into a book for publication.

Most of Qin's books come from university scholars and students. There are some celebrity biographies and so on. Everyone can publish books, but there are more books like Qin Guo. People always like to research something. Then express some of your own opinions.

This is a good thing. Shangwen specifically stipulates that speech on books is included in the freedom of press and speech. Thus. Qin's freedom of speech on books has reached a point of relaxation. Books, like newspapers and magazines, can publish articles accusing the government of negligence and misconduct. But the government cannot make prohibitive actions with these accusations. This stimulated the scholars of Qin State to conduct some weird studies on history.

These scholars found that Qin's previous policies were more focused on agriculture, which led to the extraordinary development of agriculture in Qin. In terms of commerce, although the State of Qin did not restrict commercial activities too much. However, the strength of commercial development is indeed not as good as that of the six countries. This can be seen from Qin’s tax contribution. Among the previous tax contribution rates. Agriculture accounts for more than 82% of Qin's tax revenue. Basically, an agriculture is equivalent to Qin's entire fiscal revenue.

Compared to today, Qin's commercial trade, industrial processing, and financial services. The contribution rate of these accounts for only a small part.

These are all described in current vocabulary. The actual situation is Qin's commercial taxes and handicraft production. As well as coin processing and other aspects. The contribution rate is low.

This led to some imbalance in Qin's national policy. Although I didn't see how big the problem was. However, scholars still believe that there is still a single development possibility for Qin State to do so.

Although this book does not say any major principles of governing the country. But after King Qin saw it. Acknowledged this view. Compared with Qin's current tax structure. The tax structure before Qin State had a big problem.

If we rely on a single agriculture to provide fiscal tax revenue, then once there is a problem with agriculture, the entire Qin national strength will be quickly damaged.

At the same time, Qin's development is relatively simple. In order to increase taxes, Qin must expand its territory. This is because Qin wants to simply copy this development method. This is why the State of Qin has to keep expanding eastward. Qin's agricultural needs provided a huge reason for war.

However, the development of this method is too single, and if Qin wants to maintain huge expenditure, it must have a huge agricultural foundation, and this foundation is very single. If it develops in this way, Qin is likely to encounter his first economic crisis.

In history, the demise of the Qin State can be regarded as a major economic crisis encountered by the State of Qin, but it is a pity that the State of Qin did not survive that crisis. And from this crisis induced the complete demise of Qin State.

The State of Qin put all his strength on agriculture as a single economic entity. And agricultural production requires a cycle. However, due to the development of agriculture, the taxes provided by other industries in Qin are very limited. At this time, Qin's excessive expenditure overwhelmed the entire agriculture. So a vicious circle appeared.

The more Qin State spends. The greater the pressure on agriculture, and the development of a single agriculture cannot be supported, and other industries cannot provide other taxes. Therefore, the greater the expenditure of Qin, the less satisfied. Finally, the entire country's economy has experienced a great crisis. If there are too many industries, Qin will have great options.

Moreover, Qin's single agriculture is not very insurable, and at the same time, it cannot provide other industrial services. Long-term single development will temporarily suppress the development of this industry. China's two thousand years of feudal history is actually a history of agricultural development. No matter how the ancient Chinese greats reformed, they did not get out of this agricultural vicious circle. in contrast. They developed repeatedly, and finally got stuck in this agricultural circle. Their over-reliance on agriculture has caused them to be trapped in the agricultural circle and unable to get out of their minds. The reason is that the development of other industries only revolves around agriculture, and they cannot make breakthroughs at the critical moment.

There is no breakthrough in thinking. This led to the entire history going around in this strange circle. In the end it could not be resolved. At the same time, it also led to the final backwardness of agriculture. Even now, relatively backward production methods still exist. Compared with two thousand years, not much has changed much.

In fact, this is the consequence of Qin's single economic development. The Qin State’s reform efforts were the greatest in comparison, and the later reforms were undoubtedly based on the Qin State’s system. The final result was that the Qin State’s single development model was still not fully reformed.

Fortunately, Shangwen successfully reformed this development model. After facing the extraordinary development of Qin State, King Qin also began to realize this, and King Qin had a clear understanding of this.

"Therefore, various industries in Qin also need to express their interest needs. These needs are reflected in policy formulation and tax reform. Our politics and economy will be closely linked." Shang Wen said at this time.

"For example, banks also need them to present a political representative to express their political requirements. For example, they require the issuance of a lot of banknotes to alleviate the bank's insufficient funds, and industrial representatives, they need more raw materials. Skilled Workers. Workers also need them to work overtime. To be able to provide them with more wages." Shang Wen indicated.

But King Qin just listened silently.

"Just like what happened outside the gate of Xianyang Palace last time. Bankers expressed their political opinions without authorization, and they were all arrested. If they had a place where they could express their demands, I think such things would be It won't happen anymore," Shang Wen said at this time.

"The current politics of the Qin State can absorb more different political needs. Then produce political satisfaction closer to reality." Shang Wen said.

"Then the political party was born for these." King Qin said at this time.

"Yes. There are a lot of organizations in business, so political organizations also need such political organizations to express their demands. At the same time, elections organized by political parties will effectively promote the political stage of Qin." Shang Wen said.

"The civil servants are willing to combine people who have the same suggestions. Because they trust each other, they will naturally reject people with different opinions. In this way, they will fight in the open and secretly. This kind of struggle. It is not a good thing for the Qin State. There are not many things that can be solved, but they are consumed in such gangs." Shang Wen said.

"Since something like this has happened, we might as well put them in the open for everyone to see. In this way, they can't act rashly." Shang Wen said.

"At the same time, if they want to realize their political ambitions, they have to run for the prime minister. Then they can form a cabinet. Their political aspirations can be realized." Shang Wen said.

"If the people don't buy their accounts. Then they cannot run for their prime minister. Then their cabinet cannot be established. Then, their political ambitions. These are impossible to achieve." Shang Wen said at this time.

"In that case, our prime minister in Qin will have higher requirements. They must be self-disciplined and have a strong ability to deal with affairs. Qin's prime minister will certainly not be too bad." Shang Wen said.

"Competition will produce benefits. Our prime minister should come from such a way." Shang Wen said.

"En." King Qin nodded.

"What the Prime Minister said is reasonable." King Qin said directly.

"Then the State of Qin can consider forming a political party. But it will take four years for the party to perform. In that case, is it too long to wait?" King Qin said at this time.

"No, no. It doesn't take too long. After Qin's political party appears. They can run for Qin's taxation conference, and they can express their demands at the taxation conference. The government now has to listen to the opinions of the taxation conference." Shang Wen Speaking of.

"En. Then Qin can try to form some political parties." King Qin allowed it at this time.

"En. Thank you, King." Shang Wen said calmly.

"Right. The king. The minister has one more thing to explain." Shang Wen said at this time.

"Oh. What's the matter?" King Qin asked at this time.

"The minister believes that the pursuit of the Mo family should be cancelled." Shang Wen said unnaturally, waving his arms at this time. He knew very well how determined King Qin's attitude was on this matter. Shang Wen knew that with regard to this matter, he had very little hope of making King Qin change his mind.

"Cannot be cancelled." Sure enough. As soon as Shang Wen finished speaking, King Qin immediately decided to leave.

"The prime minister shouldn't bother about this matter." King Qin said at this time.

"My lord, I think. Mohist..." Shangwen hadn't finished his words. Loud shouts came from outside the window.

"There is an assassin. Catch the assassin." At this time, the voice kept coming.

"Swish." King Qin heard the assassin's voice. He immediately got up and drew out the bronze long sword behind him. Although Qin's iron smelting and steel forging have far surpassed the six countries. The saber began to be replaced by a gun, but the symbolic significance of the sword is still great. Especially an ancient bronze sword. This meaning makes the retro style strong. Shangwen wears nothing. This is very different from other civil servants.

Although Shangwen can make weapons, he doesn't like wearing weapons.

"Catch the assassin." The voice outside the window shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty. Will you be able to enter at the end?" a lieutenant shouted from outside the hall.

"Come in." King Qin shouted loudly.

"Wow." There was a sound. A group of soldiers came in. Protect King Qin. Shang Wen looked at these soldiers unnaturally.

"Who would dare to break into the Qin Palace without authorization?" King Qin asked loudly.

"Back to the king," the lieutenant said at this time.

"Yes. A member of the Mo family," the lieutenant said at this time.

"Oh." King Qin said in surprise. Obviously he didn't think about it. The people of the Mohist school were able to enter this point unexpectedly.

"My Majesty, I will see a man in white and black clothes on the roof of the main hall. I will scold them loudly at random, and they will leave quietly. Their movements are too fast. The Mo Family can't shoot. "The lieutenant reported this time.

King Qin's face was very ugly.

And Shang Wen heard this. My heart suddenly became cold a lot. he knows. His thoughts are over. King Qin would definitely not agree with his views.

"Does the prime minister have any opinions?" King Qin asked Shangwen at this time.

"Huh." Shang Wen exhaled at this time. Stop talking.

"Does the prime minister have any opinions?" King Qin asked again at this time.

"The King." Shang Wen said at this time.

"The minister believes that we should not treat the Mohist in this way." Shang Wen said.

"There must be some misunderstanding." Shang Wen said at this time.

"Furthermore, the minister believes that the people of the Mo family are like those who practice cultivation." Shang Wen said.

"Cultivation?" King Qin asked at this time.

"Yes. Cultivation. What they pursue is an idealized thing. For this kind of thing, they are willing to abandon some people's desires. Some people have bad requirements. They only rely on the simplest food and simple clothes. Come on. To complete their pursuit of dreams and pursuit of ideals, they have such a noble spiritual pursuit." Shang Wen said at this time.

"Such a person deserves our admiration." Shang Wen said.

"Widow believes that these Mo family members are not in harmony with Da Qin." King Qin said at this time.

"They ignore the State of Qin. Ignore the unity of Da Qin and the world of few people." King Qin said loudly. And waved the bronze long sword in his hand.

And Shang Wen had no intention of saying this at this time. he knows. Some of my own ideas will be wasted again. It is Shang Wen's unwillingness, don't know, and don't know if he is the prime minister's will. Because he was too tired. Others have dreams. And he didn't. He doesn't even have the strength to chase. Shang Wen felt so tired.

Some rhetoric about King Qin. Shang Wen didn't want to listen. In Shang Wen's view. King Qin had many desires. Although not much performance. But in fact, Shang Wen could understand that King Qin had too many desires. I use "ambition." It's hard to describe.
