Chapter 140 After Cui Cen's Death



But I was secretly shocked in my heart, after all, restructuring is not a trivial matter.

Zhao Xin, however, also had a solemn expression on his face. He nodded slightly and said, "Reform is indeed imperative, but where is the best place to start?"

Reform is no longer a political need in the current Qin Dynasty, but also an economic need.

Because the Qin Dynasty had too many redundant officials and staff to bear the heavy burden.

"Let's go to Taichang or Guanglu Xun."

This time it was Yu Qian who spoke up, "Of these two places, Guanglu Xun is the least implicated, and most of them are in the inner court, so starting from there will have the least obstacles.

The second is Taichang. Although Taichang is related to ancestral temple sacrifices, there are too many ancestral temples in the Qin Dynasty now, and even the royal family knows about it.

Ancient rituals say that the emperor has seven temples, and from Taizu to the present day, the Qin Dynasty has had more than a hundred ancestral temples. In addition, each county and kingdom also has a temple.

Add to that the tombs of empresses, princesses and princes of all dynasties, and the amount spent on annual sacrifices is a terrifying number.

Take last year as an example, just the three items of Le, Zhu and Zai mobilized as many as 150,000 people.

The amount of money and grain wasted is incalculable."

Yu Qian is indeed a famous prime minister. Although he is often called the prime minister who saves the time, people mistakenly believe that he is just a tool used in emergencies.

Little do people know that he actually made considerable contributions to reform, but his contribution to turning the tide was so great that his other abilities were overshadowed.

He hit the nail on the head right away, and they had just started receiving paperwork from the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Yu Qian had already begun paying attention to these things. This vision was truly rare.

Kou Zhunren and others also nodded slightly.

Lin Yuchen was very shocked, not only by Mr. Yu's ability, but also by the words that came out of his mouth.

After all, he was born into a noble family, so how could he not know what the so-called Le Zhuzai was.

In terms of official positions, the Da Le, Tai Zhu and Tai Zai under Tai Chang were responsible for the musicians, shamans and sacrifices in sacrifices. Just these three things actually required as many as 150,000 people, and such things happened at least once a year.

What a huge burden this is!
