First of all, the personnel reform, the central court officials to implement the system of three public, five ministries and three secretaries, each ministry under the department called the Qing Officials Division, the chief of each department is called "Langzhong", the deputy position is "Wai Lang". The department in which the captain serves is called the Ministry of War, and the official title of the person in charge of the Ministry of War is "Tai Lieutenant".

The official ranks are divided into nine grades and eighteen levels.

Each position is not limited to a certain level of rank, and there are certain ups and downs.

Specifically, the rank of the prime minister and the chief lieutenant is from the first rank to the second rank; The Imperial Doctor is from the first product to the second product; The books of each department are from the second grade to the third grade; The waiters of each department are from the third grade to the fourth grade; In each department, the Lang is from the fifth grade to the sixth grade, and the staff outside the Lang is from the fifth grade to the seventh grade.

In terms of the three secretaries, the official ranks of Shaofu, Weiwei, and Lang Zhongling are all the same as those of the five Shangshu.

In terms of magistrates, the county guards are from the fourth to the fifth; The superintendent of the imperial history, the county lieutenant, and the county are from the fourth rank to the fifth grade; The county order is from the seventh grade to the eighth grade, and the county lieutenant and county Cheng are from the seventh grade to the eighth grade.

The reason why various official positions are allowed to fluctuate is that Zhao Xie fully gives flexibility to space.

For example, in each ministry, if there is a vacancy in Shangshu and there are people with low qualifications but strong ability, they can be promoted exceptionally, but the official rank will be given from the third grade first, and then the official rank will be promoted if there is good merit in the future; For example, if the squire and the lang in each ministry do well in the post and meet the promotion conditions, but there is no vacancy in the higher-level official position, the official rank can be promoted first, and then promoted after there is a vacancy.

On the military side, specifically:

Wu Chang, no grade, five people under his jurisdiction;

Shi Chang, is nine products, under the jurisdiction of eighteen people;

Dubo, Zheng Bapin, has sixty people under his jurisdiction;

The military waiting, is seven products, under the jurisdiction of one hundred and eighty people;

Jun Sima, Zheng Liupin, under the jurisdiction of 550 people;

The capital is unified, and it has 1,700 people under its jurisdiction;

Lieutenant, is the fourth grade, under the jurisdiction of 5,500 people;

These seven ranks of officers have fixed subordinates, and the higher military ranks have no fixed subordinates except for a very small number of pro-soldiers. Only when the commander arranges the task, he will allocate troops to him according to the situation; Or accept some long-term tasks, such as garrisoning cities and passes, and also allocate troops.

Only military positions higher than the rank of lieutenant can be called generals.

The army guarding Miyagi was called the "Praetorian Guard", the highest military attache in charge of the Praetorian Guard, and the official title was "Guard Captain".

In addition to official positions, ordinary soldiers in the army and ordinary petty officials in the administrative department are subdivided into first to third levels.

The chamberlain read out the positions and ranks of civil and military officials, and the courtiers exclaimed that the king had reformed thoroughly enough.

After reading it out, Zhao Xie said: "In the past, the standard of Yulu was too low, and those who worked for the widow would never be treated badly. Starting from next month, all officials, generals, and pawns will be increased by two percent. ”

In the Dezheng Palace, there was a sudden boiling, who doesn't like a salary increase.

Shrewd people can see that this is King Zhao buying the hearts of the people and the army.

Next is the promotion standard, Zhao Xie spoke in detail.

In terms of officers, military merit is the most important criterion for promotion. However, for the standard of meritorious service, Zhao Xie abandoned the single method of calculating only according to the number of enemies killed.

For example, thwarting the enemy's offensive and burning the enemy's grain and grass in the defense of the city passes; After the strategy in the army was adopted by the commander-in-chief, he succeeded in persuading the enemy to surrender... And so on, all those who have made great contributions to the victory of the war, or who have made great contributions to the country militarily, will be counted as military merits. The specific credit size depends on the actual situation.

In terms of civil servants, Zhao Xie also stated the evaluation criteria for political performance.

Military and civilian officials, in order to be promoted, can also be promoted on the basis of seniority in addition to military merit or merit.

Under normal circumstances, military personnel are promoted once every three years of military service and every four years of civilian service.

If a mistake is made in the middle of the process, there are three punishment methods: demerit demerit, medium demerit, and major demerit, and deprivation of a cumulative time of 2 years, 4 years, and 6 years respectively (that is, this period of time is not included in the number of years of service in the army and in the army), and the mistake is more serious than the major demerit, then it will be demoted or even expelled.

Under the conscription system, if a soldier does not normally serve in the army at home, it is not counted as his length of service. Therefore, it is reasonable that the promotion period of military personnel is shorter than that of civilian officials.

This is a reference to the modern military promotion system, and Zhao Xie feels that it can be applied to this era.

For example, Li Guang of the Western Han Dynasty was very old, but under the system of military merit based on the number of enemies, it caused "Li Guang to be difficult to seal". According to the military merit standards at that time, Li Guang did not meet the standard.

In addition to military merits and qualifications, you can also obtain military positions through ability, such as skill competitions, collective assessments, and those with excellent grades can be promoted according to specific circumstances.

Finally, Zhao Xie said that in addition to official positions, there are four titles, namely "Uncle, Jun, Marquis, and Duke".

He set up many ranks, just to give officials and soldiers enough room to rise, so that the courtiers are more motivated.

The more the courtiers listened, the more shocked they became, the more they listened, the more shocked they became, these reform measures, whether they were beneficial or unfavorable to themselves, whether they agreed with it or not, most people could see that the promotion standards mentioned by the king were too perfect, even the Qin State, which had the strictest system, could not be compared with it.

Thinking of the various actions of the king since the battle of Jingcheng, it is too unbelievable.

Could it be that the king is a god? Otherwise, how could such a perfect system be conceived, and suddenly so holy!

Li Zuoche was so excited in his heart that he was almost in tears, he said aloud to his colleagues: "Throughout the ages, there have been many Ming Jun, but just ask, which one can compare with my king!" ”

Many courtiers spoke yes.

At this time, Zhao Xie's acting began, and he said: "Since the first battle of Jingcheng, many things about the widow have been thought of when he was awake. There are also some that were told to me by God Haotian in a dream, and he also said that in the future, he will guide me on how to govern the country and the army, and give me advice. ”

From the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, the honorific title of Haotian God officially appeared. Haotian God is the heaven with the position of the supreme god, and it is the highest god worshiped by some Chinese dynasties.

In feudal society, there were many emperors who used immortals to consolidate their power and pretend to entrust their will to heaven's orders, such as King Wu of Zhou's "ordered by heaven", such as the "divine right of kings" in Western feudal society.

Zhao Xie just wanted to pretend to be the god of Haotian to make the subjects return to their hearts and facilitate the implementation of their own will.

Oh my! I see! I see! No wonder the king has changed so much recently, it turns out that there is the help of Haotian God.

Whether they were originally under Chen Yu's orders, loyal to Zhao Guo, or centrists, everyone believed what Zhao Xie said.

The ancients were originally superstitious, and more importantly, Zhao Xie repeatedly made unbelievable moves, and there were gods and goddesses to help him, all of which is easy to explain.

All the ministers in the palace were excited, even Wen Shidi and Meng Tong were no exception, both of them thought that it seemed that loyalty to King Zhao was the right choice.

Zhao Xie observed the expressions of his courtiers and was happy in his heart.

Qian Yun came out of the queue and faced everyone: "My king has the help of God Haotian, why worry about Liu Bang, who covets Zhao State, is undefeated!" He knelt down to Zhao Xie again and said, "The minister will serve the king forever!" ”

The other courtiers also left their seats and bowed down to Zhao Xie, some swearing allegiance and others shouting long live. In the Dezheng Palace, the atmosphere has never been so warm.
