Everyone looked incredibly shocked and couldn't believe what they were seeing. This noble official was kneeling on the ground, trembling, and calling the young man 'Your Majesty'. Was this young man the Emperor of Qin?
Thinking about this, countless people hurriedly knelt on the ground and yelled, "Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor! "
The foreman who had led the way for Zhao Fu was so scared that he collapsed to the ground. He had never thought that the young man next to him was the Emperor of Qin, the most noble person in Qin. And now, he had come here to look at them, a group of commoners.
The elderly people were also so scared that they knelt on the ground, not daring to even raise their heads. No wonder he said that he could give commoner status – he was the Emperor of Qin!
Zhao Fu glanced at them and coldly harrumphed before swinging his hand and leaving.
Only after Zhao Fu had left for a long time did the official and the people dare to stand up. They had never thought that their Majesty would come here.
Following this, news that Zhao Fu had come here quickly spread, causing another uproar. They had never thought that the Emperor, who was enjoying a luxurious life in Qin's Imperial Palace, would come to such a remote place.
"Prime Minister! His Majesty has returned to the Imperial Palace, and he doesn't seem to be in a good mood, "a guard respectfully reported to Li Si.
Li Si smiled and nodded, saying, "I got it. You can leave now!"
Li Si had stayed by Zhao Fu's side for a long time, so he understood Zhao Fu's personality very well. Afterwards, he called Shang Yang over and headed towards Qin's Imperial Palace. After all, Qin needed to make some new laws.
After hearing about this, the Ministers hurriedly headed towards Qin's Imperial Palace.
Seeing Li Si bring Shang Yang over, Zhao Fu couldn't help but glare at him. Li Si was becoming more and more tactful, and he didn't want to interfere in anything.
Li Si dryly laughed and said, "Your Majesty, I've brought Shang Yang over. I believe that you're preparing to make new laws, and some Civil Officials have also arrived. "
Zhao Fu nodded and went to discuss this matter with the other ministers.
First of all, there was a clear hierarchy. Upper-Class people were upper-class people. They had their own social circles and disdained to have any contact with lower-class people. They also looked down on lower-class people. Meanwhile, lower-class people also had their own social circles and felt inferior, so they didn't dare to have any contact with upper-class people.
The way they handled things was also different. The upper-class people were arrogant and not afraid of anything, while the lower-class people were timid and afraid of offending others.
The situation in the outside world was like this, but Zhao Fu did not want Great Qin to be like this. After all, Great Qin was his life's work, and he wanted to create a powerful and peaceful Great Qin Empire.
Article 1 Zhao Fu strictly forbade any form of discrimination. Previously, Zhao Fu had issued corresponding orders, but that was to prohibit discrimination against any race.
Now, with the rapid development of Qin, the phenomenon of class was becoming more and more obvious. This was not only because of the civilian hierarchy, but also an inevitable phenomenon.
It wasn't just the feudal system; even the democratic system in the real world, where everyone was equal, was unable to avoid dividing people into different classes.
Zhao Fu wanted to weaken this phenomenon as much as possible, hoping that all of Qin's residents would have equal rights.
However, no matter if it was in the real world or the Heaven Awaken World, absolute equality did not exist, so Zhao Fu could only maintain relative equality. This was what Zhao Fu wanted, and it was what Zhao Fu wanted to do.
The second thing was to make the household registration system more comprehensive. Not only did all residents have to be registered, but they also had to have some basic information, such as where they lived and who their relatives were.
The third thing was to investigate those who dared to fool the government in Qin. This time, Qin Qin had made it clear that points could not be used for trading, but there were still people who took the risk and coveted the massive benefits.
Zhao Fu had done some research on this. Now, 10 points could be sold for 1 gold coin. Even though a few gold coins were not much to Zhao Fu, it was a large sum to ordinary people.
Normally, 10 points could only be obtained by helping Qin for 10 days, and 100 points could be used to raise one's status.
This time, they had dared to fool the government in Qin and did something that Qin Qin had clearly forbidden. As such, they had to be investigated and punished severely. Those who should be killed would be killed, and those who should be imprisoned would be imprisoned. There was no mercy at all.
Finally, there was the issue of whether or not to abolish the civilian hierarchy. What surprised Li Muqing and the other player Ministers was that Zhao Fu did not abolish the civilian hierarchy.
A Minister dressed in court clothes and giving off a scholarly aura stood out and cupped his hands as he lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, the civilian hierarchy is a hidden danger. May I ask why you haven't abolished it? "
Zhao Fu glanced at the Minister and replied simply, "I have my own plans; there's no need for you to say anything else."
This caused a trace of a smile to appear on the faces of the Ministers who supported the Commoner system. It seemed that they would be the ones to win in the end.
In actuality, Zhao Fu wanted to abolish the civilian hierarchy. However, after thinking about it, he decided not to give up. After all, the system could indeed bring practical benefits and could deter a large number of people. Ideals were beautiful, but he had to consider the reality.
Now that Qin Qin had been waging wars and clearing out regions and facing world wars in the future, this system was indeed useful. Zhao Fu did not plan to abolish it, but he would reform it now.
The points needed to raise one's status would be lowered to 90 points, and the elderly and children would only need 20 points. Zhao Fu also created a review system, and if one sincerely worked for Qin and was willing to submit to Qin, he would reduce the required points.
If one still had thoughts of rebelling, the required points would be increased, and those who were more serious would be killed, eliminating any future troubles from Qin.
Zhao Fu abolished the rule that if the Untouchables committed a crime, they would be punished the same way and would not be punished more severely.
At the same time, they could also obtain points, but they had to be reviewed. Since they dared to cause trouble, they might have thoughts of rebelling, so they had to be reviewed.
Zhao Fu could accept those who sincerely submitted to Qin, but he had to deal with those who rebelled against Qin, and he couldn't allow them to cause any hidden dangers to Qin.
Kindness and killing were equally important, which was the biggest reason why Zhao Fu gave up on abolishing the civilian hierarchy.
Li Muqing and the other Ministers all let out sighs of relief. Although Zhao Fu did not abolish the civilian hierarchy, he had made major reforms, which they were happy to see.
After everyone finished discussing, the new rules were spread throughout Great Qin. The ones who were the happiest were, of course, those who had been labeled as Criminals. Seeing Great Qin's reforms, their lives seemed to have gained a trace of hope and color.
