1435. Loyal and Brave Soldiers
Qi Xiaobai looked at Nangong Mu's appearance, and he knew that his lobbying was half successful.
"You are not becoming my dog, you are becoming my courtier, I am ready to let Daliang City and the central county of Daliang City be managed by you!"
"You're the county guard here!" Qi Xiaobai looked at Nangong Mu and said lightly.
Although it won't be Zhongqing, the status of the county guard is actually not very low, after all, an ordinary person, if he wants to become a county guard, he needs to go through a lot of things before he has a chance, of course, he only has a chance.
In the state of Qi, the county guard is a local three-level official, and the local official system of the Qi state has five levels, namely the fifth level of 'land chief', the fourth level of 'city lord', the third level of 'county guard', the fourth level of the governor, and the fifth level of 'governor'.
The so-called governor is the lord of a capital, and the state of Qi has a capital system and a county system, while the governor is generally appointed temporarily, or appointed by a special place, which belongs to the lord of one side outside Kyushu.
Generally, when he reaches the fourth level of governor, he has already reached the highest level of local officials, and then he enters the camp hill and becomes a doctor official on the camp hill, and then a secretary level official.
Although there are still many officials above the county guard, for a person who surrenders, surrendering becomes a county guard, and his treatment is already very high.
If you want to make some contributions, it is not a dream to become a governor in the future and enter Yingqiu City.
Nangong Mu was also quite surprised when he heard Qi Xiaobai's words, he thought that after surrendering to Qi State, he would be a small city lord, or a local squire or something, but what he didn't expect was that Qi Xiaobai would arrange a position for him as a county guard.
If he becomes a county guard, as long as he does not leave the county, he can still eat and drink spicy food, although the county guard is not a hereditary system, but the official title of the county guard can be inherited, as long as he passes the assessment.
Qi has an assessment system, if you want to apply for hereditary, then your child needs to be assessed, and if you pass the assessment, you can have a hereditary official rank.
However, the evaluation system is very difficult, after all, there are still assessments for officials, and many of them are brushed down every year, not to mention the hereditary assessment of power alternation.
At that time, Qi Xiaobai set up this system, in fact, to weaken the aristocratic families, of course, if it is directly weakened, then these aristocratic families will inevitably resist, so Qi Xiaobai thought of an assessment.
Your child can't do it, inherit your status, your identity, this is not worthy of virtue, lack of ability, it will affect the development of Qi country, and your child is also in a position that should not belong to him, which is also a danger.
Under this proposal, the hereditary assessment was formed in the Qi State, and if you want to be hereditary, you have to pass the assessment, and the first hereditary assessment of the Qi State, only three of the hundred noble families have completed it.
But after three years in a row, these hereditary nobles realized that something was wrong, but what about the difference? Already the nobility has weakened so much.
And the people in power also have a lot less competitors, so although they found out that something was wrong, they didn't raise anything.
Although the hereditary system has shaken their interests, it has also kicked out many competitors for them, and for the beneficiaries, they only look at the current interests, not the losses, and when the loss is made, it is too late to calculate this time. Go to Audiobook.com
Nangong Mu knows the hereditary assessment of Qi State, but he doesn't know how difficult the hereditary assessment of Qi State is, of course, he has not always wanted to be a noble family, if he can spend this period peacefully, he wants to take his family property to a small place in the countryside and be a squire.
Being in the power center of the Wei State, the competition and secret fighting in this, he also deeply understands this, and he also understands how cruel it is.
Because he was in a high position, he was unwilling to give up all this, but after experiencing this war, he understood that it didn't matter if he was with his family and had no power or anything.
Qi Xiaobai picked up a glass of wine and looked at Nangong Mu: "Mr. Nangong, I said so much, I just let you understand that after the war, you still have status, and you can also bring a good life to your family!" ”
"It's not shameful to surrender, we are all people in the empire, but I am a person from the imperial vassal state of Qi, you are a person from the imperial vassal state of Wei, and now my Qi country inherits the orthodoxy of the empire, in fact, you Nangong Mu is also my courtier!" Qi Xiaobai looked at Nangong Mu and said lightly.
All the people in Kyushu are actually people in the empire, and Qi inherited the orthodoxy of the empire, legally speaking, all the princes of Kyushu should respect Qi Xiaobai as His Majesty.
Qi Xiaobai's war can be said to be a war waged by the emperor against his courtiers against his princes, and it is also a war that is justified.
Nangong Mu took a deep breath: "Your Majesty! ”
The corners of Qi Xiaobai's mouth smiled, he knew that Nangong Mu agreed, Nangong Mu looked at Qi Xiaobai and said, "Your Majesty, the old man is not a loyal and brave person......"
"I know, some people say that you are a moth of Great Wei, and you have been eating away at Great Wei!" Qi Xiaobai said lightly.
"Then why does Your Majesty still recruit the old decay?" Nangong Mu looked at Qi Xiaobai incomprehensibly, his eyes full of doubts.
"You let me see your loyalty, and at the same time, I think that you must be trying to protect something when you fight our army so desperately!"
"Most of the people in the world are laymen, but how many are there who are truly loyal and brave?"
"You have what you want to protect, and you desperately protect what you want to protect, and I appreciate you very much for that, and likewise, if you are truly a loyal and brave man, how can I come and recruit you? Because that's a waste of my time, and it's a shame for myself," Qi Xiaobai looked at Nangong Mu and said.
Nangong Mu smiled, he didn't say anything, Qi Xiaobai didn't know much about Nangong Mu, he only knew that he was a member of the century-old family of Wei State, and what kind of person Nangong Mu was, he also understood that he was an old noble, but why he chose him, one point is that the Nangong family has a deep foundation in Wei and has a high prestige, which is conducive to governing here.
Second, it was Nangong Mu's performance that touched Qi Xiaobai, he fought desperately, he was qualified as a courtier, because he did not choose to surrender at the last moment, he was defeated and captured, and then surrendered under persuasion, which is a hundred times stronger than those who surrender without a fight.
There are so many people in the world, most of them are laymen, and there are very few truly loyal and brave people, even if they are, he will not surrender to Qi Xiaobai, after all, they have their own beliefs, if they do something to surrender, it is to betray their own beliefs.
And people like Nangong Mu, although they can't be compared with those loyal and brave people, but they are much stronger than many ordinary people, they know their duties, they stick to their duties to the end, no matter what the reason, but they did it.
