Chapter 708: New Dynasty Meteorology (3)
Liu Ximing has given a lot of consideration to Lord Wenwu.
Referring to the experience of later generations, and taking into account the factors of social development, in order to maintain the share of the Liu royal family to the greatest extent, the lord will be the most important force of the Han Dynasty.
"That's right, it's a level 7 knighthood, but everyone can hear it clearly, there is a difference."
As soon as Liu Xi's words came out, the court fell silent again.
"I have decided to divide the civil and military lords into three types: hereditary, hereditary, and immortal."
"Hereditary repudiation?"
The term created by Liu Ximing himself immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Taiwei Cao Bianjiao hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, but I don't know what this hereditary elimination means?" ”
Liu Ximing stroked his beard and smiled:
"The hereditary repudiation is relative to the previous hereditary replacement, and the hereditary title is no longer demoted from the previous generation to the next generation, and can be passed on forever."
"This practice is used by the emperor in order to reward meritorious heroes to the greatest extent, and this is the case with the Duke of Wei, Xu, Cheng, and so on in the Ming Dynasty."
"But everyone has also seen how these hereditary reckless nobles who should have retired with the Ming Dynasty and the country performed in this Chinese disaster."
"Cheng Guogong and Xu Guogong are all vying to join the enemy at the moment of great difficulty, but they are ordinary people, and what they rely on is this hereditary replacement."
"My Han is the people's government, and such a moth will never be allowed to exist. However, considering everyone's achievements in founding the country, it is not enough to raise merit without heavy rewards. ”
"According to my hereditary repudiation, for example, if you Cao Bianjiao, if you have to be crowned a hereditary duke, then your son can inherit the marquis, and the descendants of later generations will always be demoted to the title, but when you reach the knight level, the descendants of your Cao family will no longer remove the knighthood, you can always maintain the nobility, and you can continue to be promoted if you make new contributions in the future."
Cao Bianjiao suddenly realized and laughed:
"The minister understands, Your Majesty's move is indeed clever."
"The descendants of the ministers should be demoted to the rank of lord, so that they cannot always lie on the merits of their ancestors and enjoy the ready-made. Not being removed from the knighthood will allow them to always have the opportunity to pledge their allegiance to the royal family, and there will be more opportunities in the future. ”
After speaking, Cao Bianjiao suddenly knelt down and bowed.
"Your Majesty is grateful for our hard work."
"The Ministers Are Grateful"
Yu Yongkai, Mu Jingnan, Li Jingsi and others knelt on the ground and shouted excitedly.
Liu Ximing looked pleased, "It's best if you can understand my thoughts, you and I are a monarch and minister, I naturally hope that we can end up together." ”
"Woo woo"
"The ministers will live up to Your Majesty's kindness"
Yu Yongkai, Mu Jingnan and other military ministers cried particularly badly, since ancient times, the birds have been hiding their bows, although everyone and the second brother are like brothers, but they also have to think more.
Now that this hereditary recklessness has come out, everyone is at ease.
In addition, in the current army system, the Ministry of Ideology and Politics, the Ministry of Workers and other systems are intertwined, and the generals can no longer be as private as before, and the emperor does not have to worry too much.
"I'm not done yet"
After some sighs, Liu Ximing wiped the corners of his eyes and smiled.
"I said, the aristocracy will be an important pillar of my Han Dynasty, although my Datong Society advocates equality and social fairness, but in terms of social development, before entering the Datong Society, there will inevitably be a powerful class in human society."
"Since I can't stop it, I want these people to be your descendants. However, there are also restrictions, in order to avoid the situation that the nobles and magnates of the Han Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty controlled the government and the common people had no way to rise, I also have to impose the following restrictions on you. ”
"First, in terms of official positions."
"My Han Dynasty implements a state-owned economy, so there will inevitably be a large number of state-owned positions in the future, and I demand that in the whole country, at all levels, the positions occupied by my Han nobles, including the royal family, cannot exceed 20%, and they will not be high."
"That is to say, among the five seats in the cabinet, there can only be at most one member of the noble family or a member of the royal family, and the same is true for the others.
"Hiss"
The ministers in the court had a pain in their eyes.
This trick is a bit too ruthless.
In this way, if there were 300 positions at the temple level of the Han Dynasty, then the nobles and royal families would occupy a maximum of 60.
You can already imagine the competitive pressures of the future.
But for now, the ministers still have morality in their hearts, and everyone still accepts this ratio.
Liu Ximing then gestured with his second finger.
"Second, it's economic."
"My Han royal family, nobles and officials will all have their assets open in the future, and I will never tolerate large-scale corruption."
"For the nobles and the royal family, I plan to take out a part of the profit income from the Guoye Temple and the Shaofu Temple, as everyone's annual reward and silver, and this proportion is still set at 20%."
"But from then on, the nobility and the royal family could no longer own any other property, and they had to be completely bound to the development of the country."
"Wow"
As soon as this idea came out, the court became even more noisy.
Liu Ximing's method really wants to let the nobles and the country rest together.
There can be no other property, which means that the income of the nobles can only be obtained from the Guoye Temple and the Shaofu Temple, and of course there may be the income from the position.
In this way, everyone is bound to keep an eye on the places of Guoye Temple and Shaofu Temple, which is equivalent to finding a group of imperial history for the country that will never be sloppy, this trick is really amazing.
Everyone is eager to know what will be the income of the nobles in the future?
Now the head of the household Shangshu Xia coughed knowingly and said:
"According to the financial revenue of the first year of the Han Dynasty, the annual financial income of our household department is 87 million taels, of which about 73 million taels come from Guoye Temple and Shaofu Temple."
"Wow"
"So tall?"
This is ecstatic, such as Mu Jingnan, Shao Derong and others.
"So tall?"
This is a melancholy face, such as Huang Zongxi, Sun Chuanting and others.
Liu Ximing clapped his hands and said:
"You don't have to speculate too much, first, this is a special period, and many taxes and fees are collected through businesses such as Guoye Temple, which does not reflect the real situation, and this proportion will definitely drop in the future."
"Second, I am talking about the net profits handed over to the household department by the Guoye Temple and the Shaofu Temple, which also deduct the funds necessary to maintain the development of the state-owned business, so the overall situation can be controlled."
"Of course, you don't have to worry about less money in the future, and the total amount of money in my Han is only about 1.2 billion taels of silver, which is far from supporting the development of the country, so it must be reformed."
"As long as the social economy develops, the financial situation of the whole country and the income of the people will rise accordingly, and the income of the nobles will naturally rise."
Even if Liu Ximing said so, Huang Zongxi, Chen Zilong and other people with lofty ideals were still a little worried.
Huang Zongxi came out and said:
"Your Majesty, even so, but my Datong Society is to make everyone rich, if the income of the nobles is too high, I am afraid that the people of the world will not want to."
"Don't worry about this," Liu Ximing said with a smile, "This fund should be included in the items reviewed by the Assembly House like other financial funds, and it will be tried out first during my reign, and if there are many objections in the future, we can also reduce it at our discretion." ”
"But you have to take into account the benefits brought by this, firstly, the nobles do not have to worry about money, they can naturally specialize in culture, Gewu and other work, and secondly, the nobles will have the right to censor the Guoye Temple and the Shaofu Temple, and they can also vigorously reduce corruption, which is counted in one fell swoop."
Seeing that Huang Zongxi and others still had doubts, Liu Ximing had to promise again:
"First of all, everyone will pass in principle, let's try it for a few years, and then we will change it if there is anything wrong."
"Obey the Order"
Liu Ximing said so, Huang Zongxi and the others naturally had to put it down first.
"Okay, since the matter of the title has been clearly stated, let's finish the matter of the knighthood now, so as not to worry about everyone."
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter.
Liu Xi'an received Liu Xi's order, picked up a copy of the holy decree from the side, and read it aloud:
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, in order to show the great merit of the founding of the country, the order to reward the ministers. My son of the Liu family, for the founding of the country has many meritorious deeds, now I am the third brother Xixian as the king of Han, Zion as the king of Yue, Zongzheng Temple Qing Xihe as the king of Wei, Xuanhua Temple doctor Jiaxiang for Anyang Jun, Jianbu Shilang Jiazhang for Xinyang Jun ,......"
