"Promotion?"

This time, the nobles were really excited.

Although land is very good, everyone knows that land is not so easy to get.

Therefore, exchanging grain for a title is actually a more reliable opinion in the eyes of the nobles.

But there were also many nobles with disappointed expressions on their faces.

Most of these disappointed nobles are the kind of nobles with high titles, such as the middle doctor, the upper doctor, and even the lower secretary.

If a nobleman like this wants to improve his title, it is a step further, which can be said to be very difficult.

Don't look at what Yu Xin was named Shangqing just by seeing Zhao Dan twice, but the problem is that in the entire Zhao Kingdom, only Yu Xin can ascend to the sky in such a step.

Even if Lin Xiangru is similar, he will first be crowned as a doctor by returning to Zhao through the completion of the work, and then he will be sealed through the meeting of Michi.

There is only one Yu Xin out of millions of people, and the difficulty can be imagined.

It's really not that easy to get a knighthood.

Is King Zhao really so kind? It's not going to be a low-level title to send everyone away, right?

After all, although there are many aristocratic families present, many families have been inherited for hundreds of years, but they are actually not as good as before.

The reason is also very simple, the title is reduced.

Your grandfather is a feudal monarch, and your father becomes Zhongqing, and then you become a doctor again, and your son becomes a doctor again, and then when it comes to your grandson, he will be out of the ranks of the nobles.

"Mencius: Lilou Chapter and Sentences" said: The gentleman's Ze was beheaded in the fifth generation.

Touching Long also said such a sentence when he was talking about Zhao Weihou: "Before the third generation, as for Zhao Zhi as Zhao, the son of the king of Zhao, who is the successor?" ”

In terms of touching the dragon, in fact, after three generations, there are basically no people who can still maintain the glory of their ancestors.

So the nobles of Zhao are not easy to be.

It's like the dozens of people in the hall now, and there are many families who are doctors or middle doctors.

If these people don't work hard, when the next generation of titles falls, they will basically sink.

So as soon as they heard it, many nobles who were about to face the problem of relegation immediately became excited.

Not only that, but the next moment, Zhao Sheng's words made everyone excited again.

"What I want to tell you is that as long as you can give enough food, then you can get a knighthood! And the highest can be promoted to Shangqing! ”

As soon as he heard this, the hall immediately became coaxed, and it became extremely lively.

Many people asked: "Pingyuan-kun, dare to ask how much food is needed to be able to upgrade the title?" ”

Which family present is not a family with tens of thousands of acres of land and mountains of grain?

If you can exchange this grain for a knighthood, then it won't be too cool!

Zhao Sheng saw that the emotions of these nobles of the Zhao Kingdom were so high, and he couldn't help but show a happy smile on his face, and said: "You don't have to worry, I have ordered someone to write this charter on how to exchange grain for a title, and someone will naturally distribute this thing to everyone next." ”

After Zhao Sheng said this, he waved his hand, and immediately someone sent a copy of the slip to these nobles of Zhao State.

These nobles of the Zhao State don't know how many of these simple scripts they have read on weekdays, and it stands to reason that they should be commonplace.

But today, these great nobles of the Zhao Kingdom held these slips one by one as if they were holding treasures, and began to read them carefully.

Looking at it, the happy smiles on the faces of these Zhao nobles slowly disappeared.

After reading it, the nobles looked at each other even more, unable to speak for a long time.

After a long while, someone finally couldn't help but say to Zhao Sheng: "Pingyuan-kun, this needs to increase the amount of food required for the title...... It's a little too much. ”

As soon as this nobleman spoke, the other nobles of Zhao State echoed him.

"yes, yes, it's too much."

"I can't afford it at all."

In fact, this is not that the nobles want to bargain with the monarch, it is true that the number above is beyond the imagination of the nobles.

On this slip, the exchange requirements required from the official to the secretary are clearly marked.

But in fact, the people who can come here today don't care about those low-level titles at all.

The title that can make these people interested must at least be a doctor.

Doctor Xia is actually the lowest price title among the nobles of Zhao State, and those who are lower than Doctor Xia are not nobles.

So let's take a look at this doctor's title.

A knighthood of a doctor requires a full 10,000 stone of grain.

10,000 stone of grain, that's not a small amount.

In the "Hanshu Food and Goods Journal", it is said: "Today, a husband coerces five people, governs 100 acres of land, and harvests one and a half stones per mu, which is 150 stones." ”

In other words, after a year's hard work, a family only has 150 stone of grain.

One hundred and fifty stones, that sounds like a lot, but if it is a hundred households, wouldn't it be fifteen hundred stones?

But that's not how the accounts are counted.

There is also the following in the "Hanshu Food and Goods Journal": "In addition to the tax of eleven fifteen stones, the remaining one hundred and thirty-five stones." Food, one and a half stones per month, five people are 90 stones of millet at the end of the year, and there are 45 stones left. Stone thirty, for money three hundred and fifty ......"

In other words, although there are 150 koku in a year's harvest, only 45 koku is left after the food eaten by the family, and only 30 of these 45 koku can be sold.

Therefore, 10,000 stone of grain is the surplus grain of 333 households for a year.

Of course, for these nobles, 10,000 stone is not too much.

After all, the nobles' family is not a group of servants, and there are many children? The total number of people is more than 1,000, which is the minimum standard.

According to the above documents, a thousand people have to eat 18,000 stone of grain a year, not to mention those who can easily eat two or three thousand, and even a person like Zhao Sheng who is a doorman alone has three thousand.

And since they are all nobles, it is impossible to save only one year's grain, right? Everyone understands the principle of taking precautions, it is really not too much to save food for two or three years, anyway, the old grain can be given to the next person to eat, and then it is not possible to feed livestock and horses directly.

Therefore, if any big nobleman doesn't keep tens of thousands of stone of grain at home these days, I'm afraid you will be embarrassed to go out to meet people.

Tens of thousands of stones, not much.

But the problem is that the aristocratic families who can come up with 10,000 stone of grain are often above the lower doctor, and it is useless to exchange the title of the lower doctor.

Let's look at the middle doctor who is one level higher than the next doctor.

If you want to be promoted to the middle doctor, you need five times more food than the next doctor, that is, 50,000 stone of grain.

And then the question arises again.

The number of people who can come up with 50,000 stone of grain is much less than that of those who can take out 10,000 stone of grain. And those who have the strength to take out 50,000 stone of grain to exchange for the title of a middle doctor, the lowest is also a middle doctor......

A middle doctor gave 50,000 stones to Zhao Dan, and then Zhao Dan "upgraded" the title of the middle doctor to a middle doctor......

That's not right!

It can be said that the grain on this slip seems to have thoroughly touched the details of all the great nobles of the Zhao State present, except for a few families who secretly have a grain business, most of the big nobles can't get the grain that can make them prominence!

What's so ...... What about playing tricks?

The many Zhao nobles present looked at Zhao Sheng menacingly, waiting for Zhao Sheng to give an explanation.
