Now that Zhao Qingrui has handed them a ladder, they immediately seized the opportunity to abolish the corrupt aristocratic system.
There were not many nobles left in the court, nor were there many old Qin people who had stayed behind.
Under Zhao Qingrui's series of system reforms, those who were incompetent and committed crimes were basically eliminated, and the remaining ones were all capable.
The Feng Quji brothers standing next to them didn't say anything, neither supporting nor opposing.
Feng Quji watched this scene silently, which also affected their Feng family.
He also knew that only by following the footsteps of His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could he avoid being kicked out of the team.
If they still hold on to their previous ideas, thinking that they can rely on the two brothers to keep the Feng family prosperous and wealthy, it is a pity that this is no longer realistic.
The crown prince is Zhao Qingrui, not Prince Fusu. There is a world of difference between her and Fusu. She basically does not represent the interests of the nobles. She cares more about how to make the lives of the people better.
Feng Quji looked at the First Emperor sitting at the top and sighed in his heart. He knew that this was the will of His Majesty and this was the trend of the times.
They can't wait any longer. If they are abandoned by His Majesty, the glory of the Feng family will no longer be maintained.
Nowadays, there are more and more talented people in the court, and Zhao Qingrui even intends to make major reforms to the court. If they don't change, only decline awaits them.
He has seen Zhang Liang's ability, Wang Xian is not bad either, and Lu Zhi who follows Zhao Qingrui is also good. There are also some people who came out of Jingshui Pavilion. Judging from Zhao Qingrui's intention, the position of prime minister in the future will probably be chosen from among these people.
"Your Majesty, I also agree with the proposal of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This is for the sake of the great cause of the entire world. Your Highness has taken all the considerations into account, and it is we who have not considered it carefully enough." Feng Quji said respectfully.
Feng Quji stood up, and Feng Jie immediately followed suit. He could think of the same things that Feng Quji thought of.
Zhou Yan and his friends are simply unable to resist the general trend in the court. In this case, it is better to go with the flow and accumulate some goodwill with Zhao Qingrui.
If they just listened to Zhao Qingrui's words honestly, even if she wanted to deal with the nobles, she would not use harsh measures against the Feng family.
Chunyu Yue on the other side had an ugly look on his face. He was also one of the people who stood up to oppose.
He kept winking at Fusu, but unfortunately, Fusu seemed not to see anything.
Fusu naturally saw it, but after Zhao Qingrui stated the advantages of only recording surnames, he also thought it was a good thing. After all, as Zhao Qingrui said, the clan name had not been abolished and they could continue to use it.
As for the subsequent events, he did not think too much about it. Anyway, it was a good thing.
Feng Quji has stood up, the two prime ministers in the court agree, and His Majesty supports His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. There are not many people who oppose it, so their opinions seem unimportant.
Then Ying Zheng asked them to discuss the surnames of the people. There were still many people without surnames, and there were a lot of people with the same names. With so many things to do, it was a headache.
After discussing various things, it was already past noon, and at least we had reached a result.
"Since this is the case, I hereby order that the household registration system be revised to record only the surname, not the clan name. For those without surnames, the names of the places where they live will be used as their surnames."
After the imperial edict was issued, the officials in charge of household registration had to re-register the household, and they were so busy that they were going crazy.
This was in ancient times, there were no computers, and everything had to be written.
Zhao Qingrui asked them to register according to the form, and it would take a lot of time to reorganize these things.
The population of Daqin is not large, only about 2,000 people. Life has been slightly better in the past two years, with more newborns.
To get a new household registration book, everything needs to be handwritten, and since it concerns the country's household registration, they dare not slack off. If there is any problem with the household registration, they will be finished.
The previous household registrations were spread across several rooms, and the people in charge of the household registrations felt desperate when they saw those rooms.
Zhao Qingrui went to take a look and felt a little guilty about adding such a heavy workload to them.
"Have someone bring back some fruits and smoked meat from the farm as rewards for those who work so hard." Zhao Qingrui said to Lu Zhi beside him.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I'll go right away." Lu Zhi said respectfully, thinking of the house Zhao Qingrui gave her. She had already seen it. The house was very big and the view was good. She liked it very much.
His Highness really cares about his subordinates, which is why she is willing to be loyal to him.
Being with Zhao Qingrui helped her find her own value.
Back at Zhangtai Palace, Zhang Liang came with Zhao Qingrui, and he also brought with him the final records of official promotions.
After seeing the above content, Zhao Qingrui looked up at Zhang Liang.
"You want to be sent out to be an official? Why?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Zhang Liang in confusion.
"Your Highness, this time when I went out, I saw that the lives of many people were not good. I want to do something within my ability." Zhang Liang lowered his head.
He also learned about the lives of the people of Daqin. He knew how difficult their lives were during the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, but now they are much better.
Even so, he still felt sad watching it.
This trip as an imperial envoy sent by Zhao Qingrui gave him a lot of insights. He knew that he had some abilities, so he wanted to do something for the people.
"Please approve it, Your Highness." Zhang Liang said respectfully.
"Okay, I understand. It's good that you have such an idea." Zhao Qingrui looked at Zhang Liang deeply and stamped him with the seal in his hand.
