Today's Great Qin is different from the Great Qin when the princes were at war, the aristocratic class has formed a strict system, they are intertwined, and have begun to control the entire court and local government, they want to maintain their status and family interests, and do not want anyone to compete with them for status and power.

Even if the new lord system rewards only nominal lords, once they get the title, they will inevitably get a lot of status conveniences, and it is easy to get the recognition of the people to join the aristocracy, and the children of the family can also enter the bureaucratic class, which is bound to compete for the already small resources.

And Chen Xu's purpose was to aim at the bureaucratic system that had begun to ossify in Great Qin, trying to use this feudal system to introduce more fresh blood from different classes to the imperial court and local county officials.

"Your Majesty, why don't you wait until the Taishi returns from visiting relatives to make arrangements, the reform of the military system is the top priority at the moment!" The military department ordered the lieutenant to relieve the siege.

Once the fifth-level knighthood of the prince and the prince is restarted, the titles on the military officials will be reformulated, and these should be handled by the Ministry of Rites, and Chen Xu's knighthood system for generals, scholars, craftsmen, commoners, merchants, slaves and other Great Qin people except for prisoners still needs to be slowly considered, how much merit can be awarded to the baron, how much merit can be awarded to the marquis, and it is necessary to discuss a more detailed operation plan, and it is bound to be very difficult to obtain, not to mention that there is no rush to implement it at the moment.

Wei Yu's proposal was approved by the First Emperor and all the opposing officials, but in response to another strange "Medal Act" proposed by Chen Xu, everyone, including the emperor, felt inexplicable and felt very novel at the same time.

The medal is a new concept, which has never been done before, Chen Xu made a simple explanation, that is, to use gold, silver, copper, iron and other materials to make some nameplates with special meaning, to commend people who have also made significant contributions to Daqin, not limited to Daqin people, and even include foreigners.

There are a total of five kinds of medals drawn up by Chen Xu.

There is a knightly medal specifically for soldiers, which is divided into three levels, which is used to reward soldiers who are brave in battle, and is a means of going beyond the conventional evaluation of military merits, and is awarded by the Ministry of War.

There are Torch Medals dedicated to various innovative inventions, which are also divided into three levels and are awarded by the Academy of Sciences.

There is the Order of the Blue Star, which is also divided into three levels and is awarded by Shangshu Province.

There is a National Great Wall Medal awarded specifically for super contributors, which is awarded by the Zhongshu Province.

Finally, there is an Emperor's Order, which belongs to the Emperor's prerogative and is awarded to those outstanding people recognized by the Emperor who can be commended beyond ordinary meritorious deeds.

These medals were worn on the body as a sign of honor, and the people and officials were treated with courtesy, and they were given special care and protection by the imperial court, and they were given priority when traveling or going to the various government offices, in addition to enjoying the right to be exempted from family taxes for life.

Therefore, the medal recipient is not necessarily a nobleman, but can enjoy the treatment that only many nobles have, which is also an extension and supplement to the stingy lord reward of Great Qin, so as to enhance the cohesion of Great Qin and stimulate the people's recognition of Great Qin.

This medal bill made the first emperor very interested, civil and military officials were also very interested, mainly Chen Xu painted several medals on the drawings look very interesting, the knight's medal is a light shield shape, there are two crossed long sword patterns on it, and there are one to three stars in the center to indicate the medal level, respectively made of iron, bronze and silver three materials, the medal is hung on the chest on weekdays, anyone who sees the medal, whether a soldier or a general, must salute to show respect, which will greatly enhance the soldier's sense of glory.

The Torch Medal Blue Star Medal is similar, it is also made of silver, copper and iron, but the pattern is a burning torch and a blue planet.

As for the national medal and the emperor's medal, the gold material is used, and the pattern design is simple and elegant, one is the relief pattern of the Great Wall with the bottom of the gossip, and the other is the head of the first emperor with the sun raying.

These two medals are not intended to be for territorial expansion or great merit, but as a supreme honor recognized by the state and the emperor, and the recipient must have reached at least a level of spiritual symbolism at the national level.

For example, the great thinker and educator Xunzi, if he could live until now, Chen Xu might suggest that Zhongshu Province issue a national medal.

Medals are not the same as lords, lords can be accumulated, but medals are one-time rewards, lords can be demoted to inheritance, but medals can only be used as an honor, when there is a shortage of money...... Well, you can sell it to support your family.

For such a special recital, the First Emperor did not rush to implement it, and also put it aside for the time being and waited for Chen Xu to come back before making arrangements.

After being reviewed by the First Emperor and discussed by the three provinces and six ministries, the military reform was officially implemented in mid-July.

The first to bear the brunt was the 30,000 troops of the Western Army.

Now that it is autumn, the First Emperor demanded that all 30,000 young soldiers be selected from the four military camps of the Gongwei Beijing Division within a month to arrive at the Longxi military camp for unified training, according to the new army structure, equipped with officers at all levels for training, convey the new military discipline and military lord law, and go to replace Li Xin and Jiang Hu after familiarizing themselves.

At the same time, the emperor officially issued an edict to grant Meng Tian the post of general in the Western Theater, with the rank of general, and three cavalry divisions under his jurisdiction, named the First Cavalry Division of Daqin, the Second Cavalry Division of Daqin and the Seventh Cavalry Division of Daqin, each cavalry division has ten cavalry regiments, Li Xin and Jiang Hu were awarded the rank of lieutenant general, respectively commanding the first and second cavalry divisions, and officers at all levels of the division will also be awarded new ranks and new titles in accordance with the new army structure. In its place was the formation of squads, platoons, companies, battalions, and regiments.

In order to cooperate with the new military reform, the numbers of the three cavalry divisions and their subordinate regiments, battalions, companies, and platoons will be embroidered on the newly issued military uniforms and specially made metal nameplates.

In addition, the first emperor once again ordered to select 30,000 young soldiers from the four counties of Neishi, Longxi, and Hanzhong Hedong to supplement the four battalions in Guanzhong, and at the same time required the four military camps to also begin to implement a new army structure, and implement the new military discipline and military lord law, and the four military camps were also named the four armies directly under the Central Theater, a total of eight divisions, named the first division of the Daqin guard to the eighth division of the guard, and the regiments, battalions, companies and platoons under its jurisdiction were also ordered to be renamed, and each division was also awarded a new military flag and number.

The counties and counties that had been transferred to lieutenants adopted the new military service law and began to recruit them for two years, and the reform of the new military system was also initiated, with the county town being organized as a regiment with two to four battalions under its jurisdiction, and the county seat being organized as a company with one to three companies.

The military reform designed by Chen Xu is a linkage process, the local soldiers and the national defense army are two completely different systems, and the military service system adopted is completely different, so once the new military structure is implemented, from the imperial court to the local towns and towns, it will be changed with it, and there are many things involved in the implementation, so this is also the reason why Chen Xu reminded the first emperor to slowly advance, otherwise the whole country will be pushed out at the same time, and the whole country will inevitably be in chaos.

In addition, there are still a large number of retired soldiers who need to be properly arranged, so the military reform of the 30,000 soldiers of the Western Army alone has already made the entire court, various offices and countless officials busy fighting.

When the emperor and the Manchu Dynasty were busy in Xianyang, Chen Xu had already taken a group of wives and concubines and children to the south at this time.

When he returned to Qinghe Town in May, it was not only because his sister Xing'er was going to get married, but also because of the next arrangements for the nine-year catastrophe, he needed to have a good reason to avoid people's eyes and ears.

From following Fusu into Beijing until this year, he has been out for eight years, Chen Xu has only returned to Qinghe Town three times, the first time is to marry Shui Qingrou in advance, the second time is to become the prime minister of Zuo, and the third time he came back this year, his identity has changed again, and he has become a Taishi.

Taishi suddenly returned to his hometown to visit relatives, and the whole Nanyang was shaken, so although Chen Xu took his family and his family all the way to a low-key line, when they arrived in Nanyang, the officials, celebrities, businessmen, and civilians who greeted him had been waiting for several days outside Wancheng, and there were many people who ran from various counties and towns and even Qinghe Town, and after receiving Chen Xu, they beat gongs and drums all the way to welcome them into Wancheng.

In the face of the enthusiasm of the old folks, Chen Xu had no choice, had to stay in the Qinghe Hotel in Wancheng for two days, and took turns to accept the Nanyang official gentry and businessmen and hundreds of celebrities to meet before leaving Wancheng with the gift of the cart back to Qinghe Town, when passing through Pheasant County, tens of thousands of people filled the road to greet the bow, stop and go by the way to inspect several factories opened near Pheasant County, and met with local officials, gentry and business representatives, after observing and guiding, returned to Qinghe Town has only two days left from the Dragon Boat Festival.

In order to celebrate the return of Chen Taishi, Qinghe Town held a grand festival celebration on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, opened a large gathering, set off fireworks, and held a unique rowing and duck grabbing competition in Xiaoqinghe, Chen Xu also distributed a bonus of 500 yuan and an enamel basin and a piece of potpourri soap to the top three players in the competition.

This grand and lively celebration not only made the people of Qinghe Town very excited, but also the people of more than ten towns and towns in the entire Pheasant County and even the nearby counties also heard the news and participated in this large-scale and lively celebration.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Chen Xu and a group of wives and concubines personally wrapped hundreds of zongzi and went to visit the lonely, widowed, old and weak in the town, craftsmen who have made great contributions to the development of Qinghe Town, and several old masters who teach in primary schools.

Chen Laofuzi, the principal of Qinghe Primary School, passed away last year, and the carpenter Liu Erwa also died in the spring of this year.
