On the Dezheng Palace, the ministers worshiped King Zhao, which was exactly the effect that Zhao Xie wanted.

"All the ministers are flat! All the ministers are flat! ”

It was a long time before the courtiers returned to their seats.

Only Meng Tong continued to kneel, and he said loudly: "King, from now on, the ministers should serve you as a dog and horse!" ”

According to the memory of Zhao Xie in the past, and through recent understanding, Meng Tong, as the No. 3 person in the military, still has a certain ability, and has no bad deeds, but he used to belong to Chen Yu.

Zhao Xie looked at Meng Tong, and with his intuition, Meng Tong was sincerely attached. However, you can't believe it all, and you will have to observe it later.

Wen Shidi also re-emerged, knelt down and said, "King, the minister is the same as General Meng." ”

Zhao Xie said expressionlessly: "Your words, the widow remembers!" ”

The two glanced at the towering King Zhao, and couldn't see each other's joys and sorrows, thinking that the king had not accepted them yet, and only by behaving well in the future could the king be trusted.

After the two returned to their seats, Zhao Xie asked the chamberlain to read out the new list of official positions.

In terms of civil officials, specifically: Taiwei Li Zuoche, Zheng Erpin; The criminal department is still the book of Cao Wan, from the three products; The official waiter Qian Yun, from the fourth grade; Ministry of Works, Shangshu Yoda, from the three products; Yin Yun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, from the three products.

The Prime Minister, the Household Minister, and the Imperial Historian are all temporarily vacant.

Qian Yun was originally the chief bookkeeper, and his official position was equivalent to that of a certain department of the Ministry of Officials, and being able to be appointed as a squire was equivalent to a promotion.

Next is the military generals, first of all, Li Zuoche, the general of Zhengdong, Zheng Erpin.

From the list of three products, it is as follows: Zhuo Zhongkai, General Pingdong; Du Zhen, General Pingnan; Meng Tong, General Pingxi; Xu Chong, General Pingbei.

The list of positive four products is: Yang Fu, general of the auxiliary state; Yu Wei, general Huya, concurrently serves as a guard lieutenant; Wen Shidi, general of light cars; Ouyang Ling, Captain of Shooting Voice; Qin Tong, lieutenant of the middle base.

The names of various military positions, Zhao Xie is based on the Western Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms as a reference.

The position of Lang Zhongling is very important, and there is no suitable candidate for the time being, and the deputy officers under the jurisdiction of Wei Wei are currently guarding King Zhao.

Li Zuoche is relatively special, he has both civilian and military positions, manages and trains the national army, and does not have the power to issue military orders. Transferring troops and issuing military orders, only Zhao Xie has this power.

Meng Tong and Wen Shidi thought that even if the king was willing to appoint the two, their status in the army would definitely be reduced, but they didn't expect to be able to hold important positions, and they decided to be loyal to the king.

The whole army will gather outside the city tomorrow to announce the list of middle- and low-ranking officers on the spot, and a number of people who violate the law and discipline will also be dealt with.

As for the list of junior and middle-level civil servants, it will be announced in various departments.

The official system was reformed, and the courtiers in the palace were all appointed, and most of them were happy.

Next, there is the personnel selection system. Zhao Xie clearly pointed out that it belongs to the combination of the self-recommendation system of officials at all levels and the "probation system", and he explained the probation system again.

Although the population of a country is small, there are very few talents.

For example, Yoda and Yin Yun have relatively ordinary abilities, but there are no other talents at present, so they are temporarily allowed to hold important positions.

Zhao Xie is eager to change the dilemma of lack of talent as soon as possible.

The reform measures were not announced, and Zhao Xie asked the chamberlain to continue reading out.

Next is the household registration, everyone in the Zhao State must be registered, including the descendants and servants of the rich and powerful.

Zhao Xie planned to ask the household department to recount the population. At present, there is no requirement for men of appropriate age among slaves to serve in the military, so as to avoid deliberately concealing the population and waiting for the announcement to be made after the statistics are completed.

Next, there is the field endowment, which involves three major items.

The first is the type of tax and tax rate. At present, Zhao has both central court taxes and local taxes in the three counties. Zhao Xie clearly announced that all land taxes in Zhao State would be combined, and the tax rate would be one of ten taxes, with the local government accounting for 30% and 70% going to the central court.

The second is the way of taxation. Zhao Xie clearly stipulated that the taxation system according to the household should be abolished, and the actual cultivated land should be used as the taxation standard.

The third is to take care of important courtiers of the imperial court. All officials with official rank of seven grades or more have a corresponding cultivated land area that can be exempted from taxation. This is an important benefit package that can make talent more attractive.

Among the civil and military officials of the Zhao State, there were many people who cultivated a lot of land at home, and there were slaves to help with farming, and in order to pay less taxes and conceal the population, the implementation of the new household registration system could reduce the impact on the original officials. Of course, Zhao Xie will carry out strict control, and the tax-exempt area will be very clear, and the provisions shall not be hereditary, if you are demoted or dismissed, resigned, you will lose the corresponding treatment; If an official sacrifices for the country, his family can continue to enjoy benefits for ten years.

Zhao Xie wanted to avoid being like the Ming Dynasty, where more and more land did not need to pay taxes to the imperial court, causing tax sources to dry up.

The biggest impact of this move is those big landlords and tycoons who have no official positions, they own a lot of land, and many slaves work for them, because many slaves have no household registration or hide their population, and can avoid taxes in large quantities. After the implementation of the new tax system, it will not only increase tax revenue, but also increase the number of people of military service age.

After Qin Shi Huang unified the Six Kingdoms, he forcibly relocated powerful princes and nobles from all over the country, and almost nothing was spared except for those who escaped in time. In the past three years, there have not been too many landlords who have been born in Zhao State.

In terms of commercial tax, the tax rate for merchants in Zhao State should be appropriately raised.

The courtiers were not too surprised or dissatisfied with the hukou tax reform, because there were tax-free benefits and no serious damage to their own interests.

The reform was beneficial to the central court, and those courtiers who could think about Zhao were happy because of it.

The various reforms of the court meeting have subverted many of the original systems, and the degree of change is no less than that of the Shang Dynasty, but Zhao itself has not yet seen too large interest classes, and under the pretense of Haotian God's help, Zhao Xie did not have much resistance.

After the reform measures were announced, the specific implementation of the reform was discussed, and the ministers expressed their opinions.

Cao Wan thought of a question and said: "My king, the lords and heroes of all places have private soldiers, and the ministers believe that it must be stipulated by law that no one should have private soldiers." ”

"Cao Aiqing is right!" Zhao Xie approved.

For this point, he didn't think of it in time, although he has more than 2,000 years of human knowledge accumulation, and his IQ is not low, but no matter how it is, he is a person and a head after all, and it is impossible to cover everything.

Zhao Xie said again: "Add this article to the law as soon as possible!" ”

The court meeting lasted for most of the day before it ended, and at noon, Zhao Xie ordered people to move lunch into the main hall and eat with the courtiers.

Because of the many reforms involved, the imperial history recorded a lot of content during the imperial meeting, and later in this time and space, it was recorded in the annals of history, Zhao Xie was the initiator of the reform, and was praised by later generations.
