In a solemn atmosphere, under the attention of thousands of people, Ma Zhiyuan, the official of the Xuanbiao, read out the edict with a straight voice.

“…… Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty is the ancestor of the Emperor and respected as the ancestor. Honoring the ancestor Shizhen as the king of Xuan, the great-ancestor as the king of Jing, the grandfather as the king of respect, and the father as the king of Ming......"

"Respect the prince and the priest as the king; Feng Cui's Xiuning as the queen of Tang; Li Zheng, the eldest son of the king, was the son of the king and led the Yongzhou pastor from afar; Li Lu, the second son of King Feng, is the king of Longxi County, and leads Jizhou pastor from afar; Li Yuan, the sister of the king, is the lord of Luoning; Li Wei, the eldest daughter of King Feng, is the lord of Chang'an; ”

"There is a seventh-class knighthood and a twelve-class title. It is divided into national princes, county princes, county marquis, township marquis, first-class uncles, second-class uncles, first-class sons, second-class sons, first-class males, second-class males, dragon forbidden lieutenants, and Xiao cavalry lieutenants. The title of the founder of the country is hereditary. ”

"The country is just a product, 10,000 households in the food town, and 10,000 taels of silver per year; The county prince is from a product, 8,000 households, and 8,000 taels a year; The county marquis is the second product, 6,000 households, and 6,000 taels of silver per year; The county marquis is from the second grade, 4,000 households, and 4,000 taels of silver per year. ”

"Feng Dulie, Wutu, Jiang Jun, Yang Qingque, Zheng He, Luo Yu, Zha Yinnan, Shang Zhu, Zhang Hui, and Gong Kan are ten first-class uncles."

"Feng Yan Falcon, Liu Dadao, Yan Tong, Ah Shan, Chen Yu, Qiao Bu, Gu Kai...... Twenty-eight are first-class sons; Feng Yangbai, Shi Sango, Li Weaving, Li Mian...... Thirty-two people are second-class ......"

As Ma Zhiyuan read out the names one by one, many people were very excited.

I've knighted myself!

Many people have been farmers for eight generations, so how can they ever be an official and a half-job? But after following Li Luo for a few years, he was knighted!

What is Glory and Ancestor?

That's it.

dukes and uncles of the fifth rank of noblemen, a total of one hundred and fifteen; And as the Lord's Xiao Cavalry Lieutenant and Dragon Forbidden Lieutenant, there are also more than a hundred.

Adding up to nearly three hundred.

Yuan Cong, who was the first to follow Li Luo in the Jianghua Xiangyong era, even if he was an ordinary Xiangyong back then, most of them also fished out a knight captain.

Don't look at the lowest Xiao Cavalry Captain is only seven grades, but the difficult thing is the "Founding Xiao Cavalry Captain", hereditary replacement, and the Tang Dynasty Zuo has always been the same.

This time, Li Luo took out a total of 200,000 households to pay taxes and confer knighthoods, close to 3% of the household accounts under the jurisdiction of the Tang State.

In the setting of Li Luo and Cui Xiuning, in the future, all the food estates of the founding titles cannot exceed 3% of the total household registration of the country, plus the food of the clan, cannot exceed 5%. In addition, all clans, including the clan, had to pay taxes.

There is only one type of person who can be exempted from tax for 20 years, and that is the family members of martyrs who have sacrificed their lives for the country, and they must also be spouses and immediate family members.

In this way, the burden on the state's noble clan can be controlled within a very low range. The mistakes of the Ming Dynasty will not be made.

Of the nearly 300 people who received the title, the vast majority came from the military, followed by the Special Investigation Bureau, followed by civilian officials and craftsmen.

Everyone's happy!

Even a person like Wen Tianxiang, who is not very enthusiastic about personal profits, is also very excited to hear that he has sealed the county marquis of his hometown.

If it weren't for the etiquette rule not to make noise, many people would have cheered.

But this is not over, Ma Zhiyuan, who was awarded the title of second knight, continued to read:

“…… Grant land to knights. The Duke granted 12,000 mu of land, decreasing by 1,000 mu for each grade. Therefore, the cavalry captain granted 1,000 acres of land......"

Li Luo planned to take out one percent of the land to confer honors on the nobles and clans. However, the honorable acres of land also need to pay taxes, and they are treated equally.

In addition, Li Luo also planned to divide the slaves obtained from foreign campaigns among the nobles according to the size of their merits.

He is not a savior, how can he give treatment to foreign nationals outside of China? Slaves would continue to exist on a global scale for hundreds of years, and he would undoubtedly change that.

Next, there is "Dingguo is Edict", which is a major event related to the Tang system, so Wen Tianxiang, Zheng Sixiao and others pay special attention.

Li Luo did not discuss these major matters with the ministers, but after pondering with Cui Xiuning, he was "dictatorial".

The government once came from the Song Dynasty. With Zhongshu Province as the core, the three provinces are collectively called the Political Affairs Hall, and the Privy Council and the Zhongshu Province are also called the Second Government, and the Political Affairs Hall and the Second Government are collectively called the "government".

However, in fact, the three provinces of the Tang and Song dynasties were in vain, and all the power was in the hands of the political affairs hall. The governors of the three provinces all work in the government hall and participate in political affairs as ministers of the court. The three provinces are actually the offices of the government hall.

“…… It was said that the three provinces were abolished, and the imperial court took the political hall and the military division pavilion as the center to coordinate the military and political power. The political hall is set up on the left, middle and right three phases for the long, and the military division pavilion is set up in the south, east, northwest and four pavilions, all of which are called the chief ......"

"In addition to the political affairs hall and the military divisional pavilion, there is also a royal history platform, the power of the governor's supervision, and the pavilion is called the three mansions. The Imperial Historical Observatory is set up with the Imperial Historian, who is the same as the ruler. ”

Li Luo raised the head of the military attaché to the same height as the head of the civilian official. The Minister of Political Affairs and the Minister of Military Affairs are both prime ministers, a typical group portrait system. The seven prime ministers of civil and military affairs are all responsible for him.

At the same time, he followed the example of the Qin and Han dynasties and restored the imperial historian to the same position as the prime minister, so as to facilitate the formal supervision of power.

This is not only like the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, but also like the military aircraft department of the Qing Dynasty. The combination of the two not only facilitates him to grasp great power, but also enables him to fully delegate power.

"Under the pavilion, three more departments were added, a total of nine. The nine departments are the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Crime, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Ministry of Police. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Police are under the control of the Military Division. ”

Six ministries became nine, and the Ministry of Finance, Commerce, and Police were added at once.

Because the power of the household department is too great, Li Luo deprived the household department of financial power, and the finance department is responsible for the expenditure and audit power. The household department is only in charge of household registration, acreage, agricultural tax, civil affairs, and agriculture.

The Ministry of Commerce, of course, was in charge of industry and commerce, collecting commercial taxes, and was in charge of the government-run industry and the monopoly of salt and iron.

The Police Department is in charge of law and order, investigation, interrogation, and auxiliary military operations, so it is also under the control of the Military Division.

The above is the "Three Mansions and Nine Departments" of the Tang Kingdom. The prefects of the three governments and nine ministries are collectively referred to as the three princes and nine secretaries.

In addition to the three governments and nine ministries, there are also procuratorial temples that specialize in public prosecutions, and Dali temples that specialize in trials. He is in charge of the inspection halls and dharma halls all over the place.

Li Luo also stipulated that the Ministry of Industry only managed engineering and construction, separated the right to craftsmen and manufacturing, and put the newly established Craftsman Department in charge, and stipulated that all the officials of the Craftsman Division should be skilled craftsmen.

Not only that, but the grade of the Tang Dynasty Craftsman Manufacturing Division far exceeded that of the Tang and Song dynasties, and was only one grade lower than the Nine Divisions.

Li Luo also set up a marine affairs department in charge of the marine industry, responsible for marine fisheries, sea salt, Hainan navigation and other matters. There is also the Mining Division, which specializes in minerals.

The lengthy edict also stated that the state's salt, iron, mines, and tea were all monopolized by the imperial court, and no private person was allowed to interfere.

As for the Special Investigation Bureau, Li Luo has never put this institution on the surface. Not only did the Yuan court not know about the existence of the Special Investigation Bureau, but it was also an official of the Tang State, but there were also many people who did not know.

Sooner or later, the Special Inspectorate will have to appear above board, but not now. Intelligence agencies are not easy to let people know too soon, both externally and internally.

Other institutions such as Taichang Temple, Hanlin Academy, Honglu Temple, Qin Tianjian, Shibo Division, etc., are like the Tang and Song dynasties. Li Luo didn't change for the time being.

In general, Li Luo's institutional restructuring has not changed much, and it is still the same as a feudal society.

As for many institutions in later generations, he did not plan to set them up at all, it was too unrealistic.

Today's restructuring is only preliminary, take your time, don't rush.

Then, the national flag, national emblem, national flower and other symbols were re-emphasized, and all the military and civilians of the Tang State were required to know about it.

At this time, Ma Zhiyuan's mouth was dry, but he had to continue reading:

“…… Changed the provincial highway to the state. Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are Zhejiang and Yangzhou. Jiangxi Province was changed to Ganzhou, and Fujian Province was changed to Minzhou. The state has a state pastor, a state cheng, and a state history. There are counties under the state, and the counties are set up with county guards, county guards, county officials, and Sima. The county is divided into counties, the county is divided into townships, the countryside is divided into villages, and there are village offices......"

This is the magistrate system. The village level was added to extend the royal power to the grassroots level.

“…… Three mansions are one product. Nine parts are two products; All divisions and state pastors are positive three products...... Each county is five products; Each county is seven products, the township is nine products, and the village is ten products. ”

Even the grade has been set.

However, Li Luo did not immediately launch the three-level school system implemented in Haidong, because in the huge southeast, it is not possible to implement it at this stage, and it is not a top priority.

Next up is the military system.

The "Edict on the Establishment of the State" clearly stipulates that the military department is responsible for the recruitment, retirement, pension, promotion, appointment and dismissal of military attachés. It is the military and the government that is in charge.

And the power of military orders is in the military division.

The right to train and command the armed forces is, of course, in the hands of generals at all levels.

At first glance, it looks very similar to the Song Dynasty.

But that's not the case. Because the civilian officials of the Tang State were not allowed to meddle in military affairs except for financial logistics. The officials of the military department and the military division cabinet are also filled by military generals, and military attaches who are not born as great samurai have no right to be in charge of the military.

The second difference is that the status and treatment of the military sergeants of the Tang Dynasty are far superior to those of the Song Dynasty's "thieves with the army" and fast arrest.

Even crimes committed by military and police officers are sanctioned by the Gendarmerie Department and the Judge Advocate General's Office, and no other agency has the right to intervene.

“…… The military affairs of the Tang Dynasty are organized in the order of battalions, divisions, brigades, and regiments. There are ten ranks and three levels of samurai; The battalion is equal to nine divisions, the division is equal to the states, the brigade is equal to the counties, and the regiments are the same as the counties......"

With the expansion of the scale of the Tang Army and the scale of the campaign, the original battalion of 20,000 people was obviously not suitable for use as a strategic unit. So Li Luo increased the division-level establishment under the battalion.

In ancient times, the battalion often referred to the "army", and the establishment could be very large, and the battalion of later generations was completely unused. Li Luo has one division under the jurisdiction of three brigades, and has set up divisions to supervise them. The Chinese army of the whole division plus the division governor was as high as 18,000 people.

The battalion has jurisdiction over three divisions, which are still under the command of the battalion, and the strength of one battalion reaches 50,000 or 60,000 troops, which is enough as a strategic unit to take charge of the combat tasks of the front army on its own.

Regarding the military system, Li Luo didn't say much in the edict, it was a passing touch, that is, to tell the people what was going on with the Tang Army.

Finally, it is the tax rate and the Junda Order, which the people are most concerned about.

Li Luo took this as the highlight of the finale and put it at the end of the founding edict.

“…… From today, the tax on the number of people will be abolished, and the export tax will never be increased. The agricultural tax, commercial tax, and salt tax per acre are all worth 20%, and local counties and counties are strictly forbidden to levy additional ......"

“…… There are both property and taxes, not to mention the clans, officials, lords, samurai, and common people...... Except for the families of the martyrs who entered the shrine of the Loyal Martial Arts, there is no other ......"

This move completely cut off the privileged class without paying taxes. Avoid making the mistakes of the Ming Dynasty again.

Is the tax low or not?

To be honest, it's not too low.

But compared with the chaotic harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes of the Yuan Dynasty, it is much better.

The difference is several times!

Although the 20% tax rate is not high, there is no longer a tax package, and there is no "middleman eating the difference". Then the finances of the Tang State were not only guaranteed, but the burden on the people was also reduced a lot.

Through this taxation, monopoly and maritime trade system, the tax revenue of the Tang State is absolutely indispensable.

Why was there so much tax in the Yuan Dynasty? It is because the Yuan Dynasty was extremely strict in the management of salt affairs and sea trade, so strict that the big salt merchants who were rich in the Song Dynasty became fat sheep in the Yuan Dynasty, and they were miserable.

The Mongolian officials did not allow the salt merchants to make money at all, and not only did the channels be very tightly controlled, but the taxes were also extremely heavy.

But in the Ming Dynasty, due to the monopoly and maritime trade system of the Ming Dynasty, the big salt merchants became rich, and the officials and businessmen colluded, making the Ming Dynasty poor to death.

As long as the system is reasonable and fair, even if the tax rate is not high, it can still make the national treasury abundant.

Finally, there is the most important Junda order.

The Juntian Order was the cornerstone of land distribution in the Sui and Tang dynasties of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it was also an important reason for the strength of the Sui and Tang dynasties of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Taking advantage of the fact that he had recaptured the southeast from the Yuan court by force, Li Luo of course wanted to implement the Juntian Order.

Before, Jia Yidao engaged in the public land law, but was opposed by the big landlords, but it didn't work out, and he himself was hacked, and he had to die.

Now, most of the big landlords in the southeast were suppressed by the Tang army, and the large amount of land they annexed also became Li Luo's Wang Tian.

The Tang State had the conditions to implement the Juntian Order.

"The whole world is not the king's land, and the fields under the world are all the public property of the king's land, and they are not allowed to be bought and sold privately. The people give the land, and they can cultivate it forever, and they cannot sell it without a pawn. The land received by the officials and the people shall not be seized unless they are convicted..."

First of all, all the fields in the world are state-owned, and they are not allowed to buy and sell privately.

However, the stability of the right of use is also emphasized. The people were allowed to farm for generations, but they were not allowed to buy or sell.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see it. This is essentially a private land system. However, in the name of public land, the sale and purchase of land were legally prohibited and the possibility of land annexation was suppressed.

Because no matter how much land you annex, the court can take it back with a word.

ps: I'm too busy today, I can only update so much, crab crab everyone support me, happy holidays! May you all always be happy, happy, and healthy! Everything is quiet.
