Of course, it also owes much to the strong support of the Control Yuan.
Any official who outwardly complies but inwardly defies orders and secretly engages in underhanded tactics will be arrested within three days.
The punishment ranges from decades in prison to the execution of the entire family.
Moreover, all the charges are not fabricated, but based on solid evidence.
Although the officialdom of the Qing Kingdom was better than that of the Northern Qi Kingdom in the past, it was still a quagmire.
Choosing to be obedient and comply with orders does not necessarily mean one is spotless.
But those who outwardly comply while inwardly defying orders and secretly engaging in underhanded tactics will never be clean.
In Ye Qingmei's vision, the Control Yuan
It was originally established to monitor officials and even the emperor.
Although Emperor Qing had intentionally reduced the power of the Censorate and diminished Ye Qingmei's influence over the years,
However, Chen Pingping always regarded Ye Qingmei's will as the highest principle.
Although he did not have the support of Emperor Qing, he secretly maintained a firm grip on the officials throughout the Qing Kingdom.
His private life was one thing, but the collection of evidence of his crimes, such as accepting bribes and abusing his power for personal gain, was almost an extreme achievement.
Under Li Chengqian's ruthless methods,
Regardless of whether those people are imperial relatives, have connections with a high-ranking official in the court, or have the support of local wealthy merchant families.
If the evidence is conclusive, the perpetrators will be prosecuted immediately without any leniency.
Of course, it was impossible for him to replace all the officials in the country in a short period of time.
Relying solely on recruiting historical figures is not a long-term solution, and he doesn't have that many chances to draw lots.
But he certainly cannot continue to let those fools hold onto the important core positions in various places.
He plans to do so within three years.
To thoroughly clean up the Qin bureaucracy.
Furthermore, a relatively complete promotion assessment system has been initially established.
As for the war with Northern Qi six months later, to be honest, he felt no pressure at all.
In addition to winning outstanding figures from various eras, the lottery also included...
They also drew a complete set of industrial knowledge and technology, and obtained the methods for making several types of firearms.
Production has already begun, with massive amounts of money supporting it, and it has recruited artisans from all over the Qin state.
In a maximum of three months, he could arm an army of 100,000 men.
In this regard, we must mention the Internal Treasury founded by Ye Qingmei.
Even though most of what they produced were everyday consumer goods, it still greatly promoted the development of Qing Kingdom's industrial level.
This allowed him to skip directly from the stages of matchlock muskets and flintlock muskets.
It went straight to the level of a semi-automatic rifle.
Li Chengqian admitted that this could be considered as receiving a debt of gratitude from Ye Qingmei.
Therefore, during the reshuffling of Qin officials,
He then handed over Emperor Qing and Qin Ye to Chen Pingping and Fan Jian.
After all, this was something he had promised Chen Pingping long ago.
Of course, he did not participate in it after that.
Whether Emperor Qing lived or died no longer affected him much; his gaze had already turned to something much more distant.
In a secluded palace within the new royal palace,
After about a day, Chen Pingping, Fan Jian, and Emperor Qing left one after another.
Emperor Qing's face appeared somewhat pale, and he walked with a slight stagger, but he was not injured.
Qin Ye, on the other hand, died a very tragic death.
My whole head exploded.
Judging from the wounds, it was clearly caused by the shotgun in Chen Pingping's wheelchair.
After returning home, Chen Pingping locked himself in his room for a day and a night.
When he emerged again, he was almost completely devoid of human presence, and then devoted himself wholeheartedly to the work of the Control Yuan.
Ye Qingmei is dead.
The truth about everything from back then has now come to light.
Chen Pingping did not kill Emperor Qing, partly because he knew the emperor was nearing the end of his life.
On the other hand, after learning the truth and seeing Emperor Qing now a prisoner, he actually hoped that Emperor Qing would live a little longer.
Because for someone like Emperor Qing...
Now, every day must feel like he's being torn to pieces. Living is the cruelest punishment for Emperor Qing.
Chen Pingping now lives only for Ye Qingmei's ideals.
Fan Jian, on the other hand, seemed disheartened after learning the truth, and three days later, he solemnly submitted his resignation.
Li Chengqian didn't hesitate much; after asking one question, he directly agreed to Fan Jian's resignation.
Fan Jian once served as the Minister of Revenue, in charge of the nation's finances.
It can be said that he held a high position and wielded great power.
However, with the establishment of the tax bureau, most of the functions of the Ministry of Revenue were directly transferred out.
In a sense, the Ministry of Revenue is now practically defunct.
Fan Jian's position as Vice Minister of Revenue became somewhat awkward.
Of course, Fan Ruoruo is now a Noble Consort.
As the imperial concubine's biological father,
Li Chengqian, the new emperor's father-in-law, still held a very important position.
Now resigning,
On the one hand, he might have been disheartened by Ye Qingmei's situation, but he could be considered to have retired gracefully at the height of his career.
Moreover, in Li Chengqian's heart,
Fan Jian is better suited to training troops than to be in charge of the Ministry of Revenue's finances.
The ability to single-handedly train over a hundred Tiger Guards of the eighth rank is a skill that not everyone possesses.
Chapter 144 A New Nation Under a New Look! Declaring War on Northern Qi!
Fan Jian's departure did not cause much of a stir, especially in Xianyang today.
"Abundant talent" is hardly enough to describe the current situation in Xianyang.
Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao served as ministers in the same court, while Bao Zheng and Yue Fei were comrades-in-arms.
One by one, the familiar figures of Li Chengqian came to life in this world.
It has to be said that this is truly a very strange thing.
Putting aside everything else, these people's talent is absolutely beyond question.
Li Chengqian only needed to provide the direction.
They can naturally follow the direction Li Chengqian pointed out and handle things properly.
Just like the tax bureau, Li Chengqian simply stated that taxes would increase as personal income and wealth rise.
Lü Buwei and others then naturally formulated specific and comprehensive rules, which were then perfectly implemented.
In short, it's worry-free.
Moreover, the recruited personnel,
Putting everything else aside, his loyalty is unmatched by anyone else.
Since Li Chengqian wanted to make the Qin state incredibly powerful,
They will naturally strive to make this their highest goal.
When these countless outstanding individuals exert their efforts in the same direction,
The combined force brought about an unprecedented and unparalleled impact and change.
After the reshuffling of officials in various regions concluded,
The various departments of the new dynasty also made corresponding reforms and changes.
The original six series have largely disappeared.
All of these were further refined and planned, and the Organization Department, Finance Department, Education Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Justice Department, Water Resources Department, Urban and Rural Construction Department, etc., were re-established.
With the relocation of officials in various regions, the changes in those regions are also significant.
The former seven circuits of Qingguo have been changed to a provincial system. The positions of governors-general of each circuit have been abolished, and their powers have been divided into the current senior officials, secretaries, etc. Military power is no exception. The various armies have been reorganized and subdivided into various military regions.
In conclusion, Li Chengqian once again relied on his own strength...
He transformed the former Qing Kingdom, now the Qin Kingdom, into something he once knew.

Of course, there have been changes.
For example, officials in the Qin state today who violate the law are punished ten times more severely than ordinary people.
Those who wield power must also bear responsibility, and more importantly, set an example and uphold their principles.
Trying to persuade officials with virtue is a joke; only a strong and comprehensive rule of law can curb their unbridled exercise of power.
Of course, all of this requires a sufficiently robust regulatory system.
Li Chengqian has already handed this matter over to Chen Pingping.
