Dealing with these commoners is just the beginning, the current social class is divided into nobles, lovers, commoners and slaves, nobles, lovers and commoners are all members of the same tribe, slaves come from war, a country or tribe is wiped out, those people will become slaves, they don't even have the right to live, they may be executed at any time, burial or sacrifice, all use slaves.

Now the Gongliu Department has begun to evolve, the name of the Zhou Department is gradually accepted, this is a new beginning, a new tribe is being formed, the interests of the old nobles must be divided, Zhou Yuan is only fifty miles, say not big, say small is not small, new tribes and new areas, Zhou is directly involved, the trouble caused is not small, these troubles, generally solved by fighting are more direct, and the skin is not conducive to the healthy development of Zhou.

"Okay, the matter of civilians and slaves is solved, and the matter of our conscription will end easily, in a special period of the tribe, the good people can be in the army, and half of our main team are good people, these people are loyal and have made outstanding contributions to the tribe.

What should we do, so we can only be thick-skinned, and the means are a little not very bright, but this is also a helpless thing. Therefore, after repeated considerations, upgrading these people to nobles is the cheapest thing, let's release it now, Nangong E, you go and announce it. ”

"No!"

Ji Yan also did not hesitate to write the first reward on the brocade silk, including the soldiers who have died in the war in the past three years, which will follow, all promoted to nobles, the elders of the public clan will personally teach aristocratic etiquette in batches, and those who pass will be rewarded with aristocratic clothing, and become true nobles, and the unqualified fine will be 10,000 knife coins or cloth coins, and continue to study until they learn aristocratic etiquette.

This condition seems to be very arrogant and unreasonable, especially for those nobles, it doesn't matter, but the order can't be issued, but those soldiers are jubilant, and it is the family members who died in the war that they also put the soul card of those soldiers in the main position, because they are the beginning of a great turning point in this family. There is no substitute for merit.

Obtaining nobility with military exploits was the first order of the Zhou State and the beginning of the great development of the Zhou Dynasty. All the people here understand this, and at the same time, these old nobles are also feeling the pressure, the new nobles must be full of energy, if they don't work hard, then they will be marginalized, because a new tribe will be born, and a new kingdom will shine.

Because of Mo Wentian's existence, they had no doubt that a great cultivator would fully support a tribe, and it would be difficult to rise or not. It seems that they have to exert all their strength and work hard, otherwise this new kingdom will not be their stage.

However, the shock in their hearts was not over, and Mo Wentian said lightly: "We have less than 20,000 people in your war department, and there are too few people, so the lord of the country means to recruit another 40,000 people into the army, if not, continue to increase." ”

"National teacher, then wouldn't all of our Zhou Kingdom be aristocrats?" Those nobles who came to discuss the matter couldn't sit still, there were only 5,000 of them old nobles, plus women and children, there were only 20,000 people in total, if 100,000 soldiers were recruited, all of them were nobles, plus their families, how could it be 80,000 or 90,000, plus the batch of upstarts who had just been promoted by the War Department, the entire garrison was not all nobles?

"Hehehe, you think too much, new nobles will definitely appear constantly, but not like a blowout, otherwise the nobles will not be worthy. The aristocracy is only because it is an aristocrat, it is because there are few, and it is targeted when there is less, and the fifty-mile Zhou Yuan is a little crowded for us people, understand?"

Everyone nodded as if they didn't understand. ”

"The main war department has withstood the test of life and death, not to mention anything else, in the battle with Xunyu, I saw it with my own eyes, many people here participated in the battle, it is obvious to all, and they have been promoted to nobles, this everyone has opinions to keep, no opinions are better. ”

Mo Wentian said lightly: "In the future, our soldiers will not be limited to nobles, nobles are only the leaders of the army, and the same is true for Si Tu and Si Nong. If you don't have the ability, you can stand aside, and the Zhou State can't afford to raise idlers, so you must also focus on the teachings of future generations, because once you relax and are degraded to the nobility, it will be difficult to enter this circle again.

In fact, these people who came with them are all descendants of Hou Ji and Gong Liu, this is good, they can become two people and civilians, and it is possible for everyone here or your descendants. Do you think so?"

Mo Wentian looked at these people with sharp eyes, and those people immediately lowered their heads and remained silent. Mo Wentian did not force them, but said with a faint smile: "You are all people who have a general knowledge of the country in the past, you are all far-sighted, and you are the founding fathers of the Zhou country, unless you do too much, there will generally be no problem."

It is not necessary to spread another four or five generations, and I also advise you to set the family rules well, so that you should be more beautiful during the family sacrifice. As for the so-called nobles who remained, they were either trivial or Xironghua in the State of Fu, and they were no longer the descendants of Gongliu, because they abandoned Gongliu, and the Zhou Kingdom would also abandon them, and those nobles and us would be perfectly separated in the future.

In the future, with the expansion of our Zhou country, the Dog Rong, the Pig Kingdom and even the Qiang Fang, Xunyu, Xiluo Ghost Rong these places will be ours, and everyone here will live longer, you will see that this is our centennial plan, and after a hundred years, we may develop to the south, which is not something that our generation can manage, such a large land, 100,000 nobles cannot manage. Do you think so?"

"The national teacher said that we will come back?" The eyes of the noble leaders present lit up, and they came to their senses.

"Of course. Mo Wentian pointed to the map that had just been hung and said: "Look at the place of Zhou Yuan, although it is a fat place, at this stage, it is beneficial to us, because we have the support of Emperor Shang, around us, there are foreign vassal kingdoms of Emperor Shang on three sides, and Emperor Shang's deterrent effect on them is very great, so we are safe, at least there is no danger of destroying the country."

The place we are in is a flare. After defeating the dog Rong, he faced Qiang Fang, Xunyu and Xiluo Ghost Rong. It's easy for us to attack, it's hard for the enemy to get in, just come in, in this area, as long as we defeat their main force, the surrounding Republic, Mi, Cheng, Rui and Zi will face these Rong people who have no resistance, such good slaves, I don't believe they are indifferent, they will take the initiative to unite with us, and those old countries will become our thugs. ”

Looking at Mo Wentian pointing out the country, not to mention those nobles, even Ji Yunhe, Ji Yan, Ji Li and others were also relaxed and happy, looking forward to a better future.

"Therefore, we need new nobles, and these nobles must be real nobles, so the elders of the clan need to take more trouble and train them strictly. ”

"The national teacher can rest assured, the elders of the clan will not hold back, and they will do everything they can to make them reborn. ”

"According to the blueprint of the national teacher, there are indeed not many more than 100,000 nobles. Everyone nodded.

"We do need a large number of nobles to manage the land of the future, but it is not so easy to become a nobleman. I would like to say that the status of the army is determined by military merits. My plan is this: five men will have a captain, fifty men a captain, a hundred centurions, a thousand thousands, and ten thousand thousands.

The captain was led by Sima. According to the current situation, we also have to set up three armies, foot soldiers, war horses, and chariots, and use different soldiers in different regional environments. The military merit will set up twenty classes, and this Nangong Sima also has to come up with an opinion.

When the military merit accumulates to the tenth order, it will be turned into a nobleman, and then it can be knighted, and when it reaches the twelfth order of military merit, the title can be hereditary, that is, passed on to the descendants, which needs to be bothered by everyone present, and finally the lord of the country will decide. ”

Mo Wentian said a whole set of ideas in one breath, and they are all feasible solutions, such a plan is like climbing a peak, climbing to different places, there are different benefits, there are different scenery. Always inspiring.

"Great, this method makes the old man full of fighting spirit. An aristocratic old man said.

The rest of the people applauded. Mo Wentian took a sip of tea gently, and after everyone passed the new part, Mo Wentian said: "The second master has caught up with a good opportunity, and met a big opportunity, you have seized the opportunity, this step is the first, I congratulate you first." ”

"Alas, it's a pity that I'm old and don't have the strength to fight. The excited old nobleman just now sighed.

"Ji Fei, several of your sons and grandsons are in the main war department, and you are still not satisfied. Someone quipped.

"But it's so boring to do nothing, and I don't like the feeling of sitting and waiting to die. Ji Fei said.

"If you want to do it, there is no one who will be idle, Ji Fei, Sima's war department can't enter, as well as Sima's nomadic department, as well as the various departments of Situ and Sinong, there is a shortage of people everywhere, and those credits will not be less, and they will be gradually improved.

Titles can also be obtained, but they are not as fast as military achievements, and after a big war, a group of nobles will appear, but this is also a high-risk profession and a stage for young people. Other places require water grinding, and it is true that only a gradually stable person like Ji Fei can do it. ”

Mo Wentian can be said to be thorough in all aspects of his speech, taking care of everyone's face. Everyone felt valued.

Ji Li recorded what Mo Wentian said at the table, and after the investigation, he collected and condensed it into a decree and handed it to his father Ji Yan, after Ji Yan read it once, he quietly told Ji Li how to word, revised it a few times, and then used the seal and handed it to Nangong E.

Situ's can only be put on the agenda, and the simple decree is made by everyone this time, and some deletions and changes have been made. As for Si Nong, there is Hong Renqing, he is a wise man, and the regulations are presided over by him, and everyone participates in the opinions, and Mo Wentian has not asked.

A country, the most important thing is the war department, as long as the war department is there, it can sweep away all the enemies, on the other hand, the others, is it completely okay, slowly improve, this is a buffer time.

Ji Yunhe didn't participate in these either, this is not his duty, now he understands his duty very well, that is, to protect the royal family, whoever is the king will support whom, with such a state of mind, his mind is much more open-minded.

"National Teacher, you propose aristocratic reform?"

"This is the matter of your clan, the elders in the clan, and the elders, have both ability and political integrity, reform is necessary, such as no infighting and the like, unity and upward, etc., the main focus is now on blood, cultivate the spirit of the nobles who are not afraid of death, open up a new country, loyalty and courage are essential. ”
