"I'll think about it." Ying Zheng was silent for a long time before speaking.
"Father, please take your time to think about it. There's no rush." Zhao Qingrui chuckled.
The father and daughter talked about other things, and Zhao Qingrui was particularly interested in what Ying Zheng encountered.
Since Ying Zheng and his men left the Seleucid capital, they encountered some pirates and the like on the way. They dealt with all of them and also gained a lot of good things.
Their ship did not increase its speed and was still sailing leisurely. It was about to leave the Seleucid territory.
We will soon be entering the Maurya Empire. Ying Zheng has been interested in this place for a long time. Currently, there are more business exchanges between the Qin Dynasty and the Maurya Empire. I wonder what the Maurya Empire has become?
He still remembered the appearance of the envoys from the Maurya Dynasty. There was a huge gap between them and the Qin Dynasty.
After hanging up the phone, Ying Zheng called Gan Luo and Wang Jian over to discuss the matter.
"Your Majesty, your idea is quite promising. If we enfeoff the princes and princesses to these places, these places will become the territory of the Qin Dynasty in the future." Gan Luo's eyes lit up and he thought this was a good idea.
When the Qin Dynasty was first established, many people insisted on the feudal system. If they knew that the current emperor wanted to restore the feudal system, they would probably be very happy, right?
"The feudal system also has many drawbacks. If the imperial power weakens and the vassal states become stronger, it will pose a huge threat to the Qin Dynasty." Wang Jian looked at the First Emperor.
"What the teacher said is true, but Qingrui mentioned a solution, called the Enfeoffment Order. In addition to the eldest sons and daughters of the princes who inherit the throne, the remaining children all have the right of inheritance and need to be allocated a fiefdom." Ying Zheng briefly talked about the Enfeoffment Order, which was also intended to weaken the power of the princes.
Ying Zheng's words silenced Gan Luo and Wang Jian. Is His Majesty so wicked? If this Enfeoffment Order continues to be implemented, the fiefs of the princes will only become smaller and smaller, which will also weaken the power of the princes.
Gan Luo looked at the First Emperor. No wonder the First Emperor chose the current emperor to be the emperor. Look at his evil heart. It was not unfair for Prince Fusu to lose.
"What do you think? Give me some advice." Ying Zheng said helplessly as he looked at the two stunned people.
"Your Majesty's method is very good. It can greatly limit the continuous expansion of the princes." Wang Jian said seriously.
"I agree with Marquis Wucheng. If this decree is combined with the feudal system, there won't be any major problems." Gan Luo said after thinking for a while.
In this way, even if some princes reunify the Qin Dynasty in the future, the world will still belong to the Ying and Zhao families, which is not a bad thing.
The only thing to worry about is the Great Qin. If the future monarch does not have sufficient ability, the threat of the princes taking control of the Central Plains will still be very great.
The main reason is that they are afraid of a situation like the Zhou emperor, who was sidelined by the princes and could only serve as a mascot.
"But, if the princes become too powerful and Your Majesty cannot suppress them, what will you do then?" Gan Luo looked at Ying Zheng.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I believe in Qingrui's vision in selecting an heir." Ying Zheng said softly.
According to Zhao Qingrui, she has been observing her brothers' offspring. If there is a suitable one, she can keep an eye on him and consider him as a candidate for successor in the future.
Anyway, there is no rush now. He himself can still live for a long time, and his daughter will definitely be fine. The issue of heirs can be dealt with slowly.
"In that case, the feudal system can be implemented." Wang Jian was silent for two seconds. Is this really the First Emperor? He actually said that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. It really made him feel a little unbelievable.
After discussing it for a while, the few of them thought this method was good, so Ying Zheng replied to Zhao Qingrui to express his support for her idea.
Since his father supported it, Zhao Qingrui brought up this matter during the grand court meeting.
"Today's grand court meeting has almost concluded its discussions. I have something to discuss with you all."
"I want to restart the feudal system." Zhao Qingrui said directly.
The court was in deathly silence. The feudal system was defined by the First Emperor as the source of chaos. Is Your Majesty crazy?
"Your Majesty, the feudal system is inappropriate. The current system of the Great Qin has gradually matured. The feudal system is already an old system and is no longer suitable for the Great Qin." Someone stood up immediately.
Zhao Qingrui looked at the person who stood up, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Isn't this Chunyu Yue, a loyal supporter of the feudal system?
Did the sun rise from the west today? Chunyu Yue was the first to speak out against the division of fiefdoms. Zhao Qingrui felt that he might not have woken up yet.
"Your Majesty, I second the proposal. Enfeoffment is not advisable." Meng Yi also stood up.
The others also came to their senses and quickly followed suit, trying to stop His Majesty from doing anything stupid.
"I understand what you are thinking. Don't get excited. My point is that the Great Qin needs to expand outward. However, you all know the situation of the Great Qin. With such a vast territory, it is already difficult for me to govern."
"When I want to divide the royal family, it depends on their own wishes. The imperial court can lend them soldiers and horses, and the territory they conquer will be their fiefdom in the future. They will be responsible for managing the fiefdom, and they will only need to pay a portion of taxes to the imperial court every year." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.
"Your Majesty, if the princes are powerful enough and intend to subvert the laws of our ancestors and use small clans to invade big clans, such a threat will be too great." Chunyu Yue advised seriously.
In recent years, Daqin has become more prosperous under Zhao Qingrui's governance. This is a prosperity he has never seen before. Now he has fully witnessed the excellence of the county system and has become more respectful of it.
