A sign of bureaucracy? Why?

The symbol of the formation of bureaucracy is that the feudal system of Qin Dynasty was replaced by the county system. The official system of Qin and Han dynasties mostly followed the official system of the previous generation. Generally speaking, this feature is that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

With the continuous emergence of social problems, the bureaucracy is bound to be reformed, but the rulers still indiscriminately follow the official system of the previous generation and still deal with future problems in the old way.

For example, in the Warring States period, the "three fair prices and nine expensive prices" continued to be used in the Qin Dynasty. Some historians believe that there was no need to set up so many bureaucracies at that time, many of which existed in name only.

Many official positions in the Qin dynasty existed in name only, and some were not worthy of the name. There are three official positions in the central part of Qin State. One is the prime minister, the second most powerful, who assists the emperor in handling government affairs. This position is indeed worthy of the name, but the other two positions are not.
