Xiao Yuan adopted Ding Rong's suggestion and made an overall reform of the officials of the Qin State.

From the previous miscellaneous blank checks, it was changed to monthly silver and grain.

Power, coupled with no shortage of money, makes officialdom a boost.

At the same time, the importance of the title of Qin State has once again been fully reflected.

Duke, marquis, earl, son, male, the five regular titles, with the lowest baron, even if he is not an official, the monthly salary is enough to support many servants.

This further motivated the Qin army.

In that era, it was almost impossible for ordinary people in all countries to turn over, civilians were civilians, but Qin was different.

Because there is a military merit knighted regardless of background!

This drawback, which only looks at the background and the powerful can only be hereditary, Xiao Yuan had already eliminated it at the beginning of his founding, but this time it was just stronger.

However, some people are not satisfied with the reform of the bureaucracy.

On this day, in the palace, Ye Cheng asked to see.

In the study, he stood respectfully below, and said cautiously: "The king, everyone is very satisfied with the matter of public office, but only Wuwei Mansion, you can't be partial." ”

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yuan looked at him unhappily: "I think I have less money, right?" ”

Ye Cheng hurriedly said: "No, no, no, the king misunderstood, Weichen's monthly salary is enough, but it is just an ordinary officer and soldier, only five taels of silver per month, this"

As the governor of the government, of course, he wanted to fight for his department.

Five taels of silver, equivalent to five thousand yuan, is a lot less for ordinary officers and soldiers, and Xiao Yuan was also a little worried for a while.

In terms of the county-level Wuwei Mansion, there are 1,000 people, with an average of five taels, which is 5,000 taels a month, and plus the counties, combined, there must be more than 10,000 taels of silver.

In so many places in the country, Wuwei Mansion alone can get more than 200,000 taels of silver a month, or nearly 3 million taels a year.

This is not a small amount, it is just a personal salary, other expenses are even greater, what ordnance and armament, public security expenses, this is the big head.

In addition, this is just a department of the Wuwei Mansion.

Xiao Yuan had to think about this question.

However, considering the importance of the Wuwei Mansion and the danger faced by public officials, he thought for a moment and said, "In this way, since you are here, this matter can be mentioned again, eight taels." ”

"Huh? Are you sure? Thank you for your understanding! Ye Cheng was suddenly overjoyed.

Xiao Yuan didn't want to bargain with him, and he did take into account all aspects, eight taels of silver, just an ordinary officer and soldier's monthly salary, and of course the officer was higher.

Ye Cheng's face was full of excitement, and he was about to say something more, but Xiao Yuan was already waving his hand and said, "Busy with your going!" I'm so annoyed! ”

"Yes, yes, don't be too tired, pay more attention to your body"

Ye Cheng was satisfied, and retreated with a smile.

Xiao Yuan couldn't help but glare at him.

When he returned to the Wuwei Mansion, a group of officers hurriedly surrounded him and said in a gossipy manner:

"My lord, how is the situation?"

"Huh." Ye Cheng raised his head, and the old god said: "This official follows the king, all the way down, I go to ask to see, then the king will think about it somewhat." ”

As he spoke, he also stretched out his finger and gestured: "This number." ”

"Huh?" When everyone saw this, they were stunned at first, and then they were all overjoyed and cheered.

In the Wuwei Mansion, many ordinary officers and soldiers gathered together, all with excitement on their faces.

"Have you heard, the moon has changed, it is no longer the empty things before, but the real silver, eight taels a month!"

"Don't say anything, let's go, let's drink!"

Officers and soldiers are like this, the soldiers of the Central Army of the Qin State have higher salaries, and soldiers with military merits will have corresponding policies when they buy land and buy houses.

Qin's military and political system is far superior to that of other countries, which also leads to Qin's recruitment of troops, which is much easier than other countries.

At the same time, Ningyang.

Xiao Yuan's royal decree ordering the generals of the Qin army to be literate had already been conveyed to all the troops.

Now here in Ningyang, after Xia Ping's incident, the general stationed there is Guan Kui.

A middle-level general, illiterate, can't see anything now, but there are many drawbacks in the future.

But Guan Kui, a person with five big and three coarse, was obviously a little unhappy after receiving the order from the imperial court, and couldn't help but say:

"This prime minister is really, he is so busy every day, why do you still care about being in the army."

That's Xiangguo, you can't care about anything, Guan Kui's words didn't mean to disrespect Liu Yuzhi, but he just complained, if you really want the prime minister to be in front of him, you just give him ten guts, and he doesn't dare to say so.

When the adjutant general heard this, he said with a bitter face: "This, general, the last general also has to learn." ”

"Alas!" Guan Kui sighed.

But there was no way, he could only invite a gentleman in Ningyang, and after daily military affairs, he asked him to teach him to read.

After a few days, Guan Kui, a rough man, was already quite impatient, and when he was studying, he drank a big bowl of wine, and couldn't help but say:

"This, this, sir, you said that the king let us fight, we have nothing to say, we can do our best! But this literacy"

Knowing that he was not happy, Mr. smiled and persuaded: "General, military generals governing the army and officials governing the government have always been the king's philosophy, but if the generals are illiterate, it is not a good thing after all, and the king is also far-reaching." ”

"And if the general is deeply impatient and abandons the book, I am afraid it will have a great impact on his career."

"Okay." Hearing him say this, Guan Kui was helpless, a general, with great achievements, in the back, he must have a good official position, if he still can't read big words, how can it be possible!

On the Qin side, a small reform was carried out, and everything was developing in a more stable direction.

In the world of great controversy, before the world is unified, it is impossible for the land of China to be peaceful for a long time.

At this time, Huan and Liang had faint signs of fighting.

King Liang is brutal, relying on the combat strength of the Liang army, and has never taken King Huan in his eyes.

In the previous incident of the two counties, King Huan saw that he would not come back, and he originally planned to give up, because he did not dare to use force against Liangguo.

But in the end, King Liang did not give up, and used this excuse to invade the land of Huanguo.

Two counties, King Huan doesn't want it anymore, but King Liang still wants to attack him, even if he is soft, he can't bear it.

As a result, the troops of the two countries began to move frequently to the border.

This action directly led to the countries beginning to turn their attention here.

Before the war, diplomacy is indispensable.

But King Huan sent an envoy to inquire, but King Liang ignored it, and the military actions still did not stop.

On the side of Liangguo, there were also ministers who said: "King, if you blindly attack Huan, there is no reason for our country, I am afraid that the teacher will be unknown, and King Huan is very likely to pull other countries into alliances." ”

Yes, King Liang is looking for faults, to put it bluntly, he just wants to expand his territory and take King Huan to open his knife.

After hearing this, he sneered and said, "Don't worry, King Huan can't pull allies." ”
