Chapter 335 The next strategic goal
Xianyang City, Yuxuan Pavilion.
Facing the memorials piled up more than one foot high, Ying Yu couldn't help but widen his eyes.
This is the result of Da Qin now using Qin paper and its text bearing capacity has become stronger.
If the bamboo slips were used before, the memorials that Ying Zheng, a cheap father, would have to deal with in a day would fill several rooms, wouldn't it?
Ying Yu immediately had a better understanding of the emperor's bitterness.
After biting the bullet and processing hundreds of memorials, Ying Yu sighed helplessly, and finally gave up the idea of following Ying Zheng.
After thinking about it, he directly called Meng Yi, the official censor, and Xiao He, the minister's right servant, over, and distributed the mountainous pile of memorials.
"Your Highness, is this inappropriate?"
Looking at the memorial in front of him like a hill, Meng Yi was a little confused.
"You should have read the new reform of the court system. According to the procedure, unless there are special markings on these memorials, they would have to be reviewed by the chief officials of the three provinces before being sent to the prince."
"Now that Yao Jia is on tour with your father, Xiao He presides over the daily work of Shangshu Province. This is Xiao He's job."
"After Chen Ping returned from Tu'an County, he officially took up the post of Minister of Huangmen under his door. It was Xiao He and Chen Ping who took care of it together."
Hearing this, Meng Yi nodded steadily: "His Royal Highness is right, this review of the memorial is indeed the job of Mr. Xiao.
If His Highness has nothing else to do, then the officer will leave first. Yushitai still has a matter waiting for the officer to deal with. "
Seeing that Meng Yi wanted to run away, Ying chuckled: "Lord Meng, you are the assistant minister appointed by the emperor to the crown prince. Xiao He's examination and approval of the memorial is reasonable, should you review it?"
"You helped the prince share the approval memorial, so that the prince has the time and energy to think about more important things, right?"
More important things?
Meng Yi was speechless when he heard the words, hesitated for a long time before he could speak, and finally could only nod helplessly in agreement.
Now Yingzheng is on tour, Xianyang City, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the final say.
Meng Yi and Xiao He looked at each other, then sighed together, and resignedly picked up the pen and paper.
They finally understood why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince proposed the reform of the political system before the first emperor went on tour.
Who would have thought that the amazing reforms were thought of because His Royal Highness wanted to be lazy?
If Emperor Shihuang, who was on the east tour, found out, he wondered if he would kill him directly.
The two of them shook their heads helplessly, they could only pick up the memorial and seriously examine and approve it.
"This is the life that a superior should have."
Seeing the two writing furiously, Ying Yu nodded in satisfaction.
He has always believed in the concept of grasping the big and letting go of the small, and that those who work hard govern others.
The reason why the first emperor had to do everything himself was because the situation before the Great Qin Dynasty was too severe and there was a shortage of talents.
Later, didn't the first emperor also start to gradually delegate power, only deal with important matters, and the trivial matters were handled by Feng Quji and others first, and the first emperor was only responsible for the final approval?
And Ying Yu's new official system is to further decentralize these things, and further break down the excessive workload of the emperor.
As long as the final authority of approval is firmly grasped, the authority of the emperor will not be affected, especially when the power of the prime minister is divided by the three provinces to check and balance each other.
Only in this case, the superior will have more time to consider the future development direction of the entire Great Qin.
For example, Daqin is currently welcoming the opening of the Grand Canal, opening up the waterway from Jiangnan to Xianyang City, connecting the core area of the Central Plains with the potential area of Jiangnan, and reaching the mouth of the sea.
What Ying Yu considered was Daqin's current Grand Canal, which was still too short.
At most, it is a little better than the Sui and Tang Dynasties Grand Canal, and there is still a long way to go from the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
Daqin has carried out a round of Liaodong development before, and achieved certain results.
However, the developed cities are mainly concentrated in the seaside areas such as Liaodong Port, and the Heishi land in the inland areas are still in a relatively backward state for the time being.
Therefore, Ying Yu has decided to open the Grand Canal from Xianyang City to Liaodong again after the Grand Canal from Xianyang City to Kuaiji.
The significance of the Jiangnan Grand Canal is mainly to connect Xianyang City with Jiangnan, and to go to Tianzhu County and Persia County through Kuaiji to the sea.
This is also the route with the most developed business and the most prosperous sea trade in Daqin.
Arriving from Xianyang City to Liaodong will not only enable the further development and construction of Liaodong and other northern regions, making Xianyang City more capable of radiating to the northern region, but also strengthen the connection between Daqin and Fusang Island.
And gradually took the Goguryeo Peninsula north of Tuan County into the bag.
Once this goal is achieved, the Great Qin Navy will have the two most solid supports and outposts in the entire Eastern Pacific Ocean, and can continue to march north.
This area, although at present, is mostly a remote place.
However, as a traverser, Ying Yu is very clear that this area belongs to the future.
Not to mention much, even if there is a Suez Canal from Persian County to the Mediterranean Sea, the traffic capacity of a canal is limited after all, and the radiation area is not that wide.
To truly realize the empire on which the sun never sets and truly unify the world, it is necessary to completely control the Pacific Ocean, the largest ocean, in Daqin's hands.
And Fusang and Goguryeo Peninsula are the best gateways and outposts of Daqin in the direction of the Pacific Ocean.
Starting from here, Siberia and the area to the north, which is still in the semi-wild zone, can be completely controlled.
Further north, you can also explore the New World.
Before time travel, Ying Yu once heard a speculation.
That is the aborigines of the American continent. In fact, they started from the river basin tens of thousands of years ago, followed the Arctic region that was still connected at that time, arrived in the Americas from Asia, and took root.
Therefore, they have the same skin color as the people of Daqin in the great river basin of the Central Plains.
Although this theory has not been fully proven, it has added meaning to Ying Yu.
That is to explore the new continent in advance and fully control it.
As for the aborigines above, since they are descendants of Great Qin, they will naturally return to the embrace of Great Qin, learn Qin Wen and Qin language again, and become a part of Great Qin.
I believe that with the powerful assimilation ability of Daqin culture, everything is not a problem.
Therefore, the development of the North and the exploration of the Pacific Ocean have become Ying Yu's next strategic goals.
But to realize the development of all the people in the north and expand the Grand Canal, it has become the simplest and most practical way.
And now Daqin is not short of manpower.
Although the Jiangnan Grand Canal lost a lot of peacock coolies, with the efforts of the First Cavalry Corps affiliated to Daqin, they were quickly replenished.
These coolies are wasting food for nothing. Instead of wasting it idle, it is better to let them continue to build the Grand Canal.
After all, they already have experience.
