Allowing veterans to serve in the administrative points of various towns and villages can effectively maintain and even improve the social status and living security of veterans.

Whether it is a catcher or an ordinary official, even if it is a miscellaneous worker, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is covered with an official skin, and in the words of later generations, it is a civil servant.

A high social status and a secure job and income were enough for them to live a decent and prosperous life for the rest of their lives.

And this is far from being comparable to the so-called Invalides Farm and the like!

Moreover, placing a large number of retired soldiers in the grassroots government can also bring a great benefit, that is, it can allow the Tang Dynasty, or Li Xuan himself, to better increase its control over the grassroots level.

The establishment of administrative organs in various towns and villages, the placement of retired and disabled soldiers, and even the improvement of the various institutions of the central government of the Tang Dynasty took Li Xuan and them a full three days to discuss and decide.

However, three days later, Liu Bagou and Fang Dongquan, the civil and military officials, seemed a little excited, and they were all happy when they walked.

Because at the end of the meeting on the third day, Li Xuan officially ordered the cabinet to come up with a detailed charter of the title system of the Tang Dynasty.

Formulating the knighthood system is what everyone is most concerned about at this pre-imperial strategic meeting, because it means that it will not be long before Li Xuan will be officially knighted, and this day, they have been waiting for a long time.

Relatively speaking, other matters, especially the establishment of administrative points in various towns and villages, are also important, and can even be said to be related to the foundation of the future rule of the Tang Dynasty, but in the past few days, Liu Bagou and Fang Dongquan are more concerned about the title.

Liu Bagou, a person who wanted to rebel against Zhuge Liang, was not idle before, and had been prepared for this early, and even when he was still in Lijia Village, he had already conceived the title system of the Tang Dynasty.

Later, he discussed many times with Wang Wenhua, Qian Mengjiu, Yang Xiucai and other only a few senior civil officials in the Tang Dynasty, and before coming to the Lanjiang crossing, the cabinet actually had a draft.

Now Li Xuan ordered to come up with a specific charter of the title system, and they were not ambiguous, and that night, the cabinet organized a small internal meeting, and after discussing it for most of the night, the draft was revised into a formal plan.

After the imperial meeting began the next day, Liu Bagou immediately submitted the detailed plan of the title system.

After Li Xuan took it, he took a closer look, and this title system was obviously a reference to the title system of the Ming Dynasty and several other dynasties.

The detailed title is divided into two systems, one is a clan knight, and the other is a meritorious knighthood.

The clan titles are divided into five ranks, from top to bottom: prince, county king, Zhenguo general, auxiliary general, and Fengguo general.

The prince is named the prince or the prince of the county, the son of the prince is the king of the county, the son of the king of the county is the general of Zhenguo, the son of the general of Zhenguo is the general of the auxiliary state, the general of the auxiliary country is the general of Fengguo, and the son of the general of Fengguo is the general of Fengguo

The above-mentioned clan titles, unless specifically indicated, are all reduced to inheritance, reduced to the hereditary inheritance of the general of Fengguo.

However, when Li Xuan saw the hereditary article, he couldn't help but think of the many royal families in the Zhu Ming Dynasty, and he didn't want his descendants to become rice worms of the country after becoming hundreds of thousands of people.

There is no need for all hereditary, the fertility of the nobles is too terrible these days, so he did not hesitate, and directly picked up the red pen and crossed out the word hereditary on it, and said at the same time: "Remember!" ”

Li Xuan said that let the officials take a note, this means that the official decree will be issued, Liu Bagou directly picked up the pen and spread out the paper and waited for Li Xuan to speak.

I only listened to Li Xuandao: "The five levels of the clan knighthood remain unchanged, the prince inherits the county king, the non-prince inherits the general of the Zhenguo, the prince of the county inherits the general of the Zhenguo, the son of the non-prince inherits the general of the auxiliary country, the son of the general of the Zhenguo is the general of the auxiliary country, and the son of the non-prince inherits the general of Fengguo." The son of the auxiliary general is the general of Fengguo, and the son of the non-prince needs to pass the assessment before he can inherit the general of Fengguo.

The son of the general of Fengguo needs to pass the assessment to inherit the general of Fengguo, and the son of the non-prince is not knighted to make his own living. ”

The focus of this series of words is not what title the prince's son will hold, but that the son of General Fengguo needs to pass the assessment before he can inherit the title of General Fengguo, while the ordinary son of General Fengguo is not knighted, but can take imperial examinations, engage in business, and engage in politics to make a living.

In this way, it is possible to put an end to the large-scale flood of royal titles and reduce the financial pressure on the country, as for whether future generations will starve to death after they have no titles, this is not within Li Xuan's consideration.

If you are born in the royal family, you will still starve to death, it means that the mud can't support the wall, and you will starve to death.

Speaking of this, he felt that it was necessary to emphasize one more point: "The title of the clan shall not be replaced by hereditary succession, and if the children of the clan below the general of Zhenguo have made meritorious contributions, they can be promoted to the first level." This is an iron law, and future generations cannot change it! ”

The royal family needs to maintain a transcendent status, and this transcendent status must also be maintained in scarcity, if there are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of royal family members with knighthoods, how can they maintain scarcity and transcendent status, it is good not to be scolded to death.

Li Xuan, the lord of the clan, can change it as he wishes, anyway, this is only for his own descendants Li Xuan, and it has little to do with the many ministers here, so Liu Bagou and they consciously wrote down Li Xuan's words and came to obey the order.

However, the next hero, Li Xuan, will be much more cautious.

Liu Bagou and the meritorious knighthood system they drafted also have multiple ranks, from top to bottom for duke, marquis, uncle, son, male a total of five ranks, these titles are also reduced to inheritance, reduced to the baron after the removal of the knight, and the hereditary replacement can only be by the imperial court special grace.

In addition, the above-mentioned titles are not equal to the rank of officials like the Ming Dynasty and other dynasties, but are a separate system and have nothing to do with the rank of officials.

That is to say, when a minister sees a prince, unless the prince holds a higher position than the minister, otherwise there is no need to bow down and be humble.

The official grade system, the title system and the military rank system were independent in the Tang Dynasty, and there was no strict reciprocal relationship.

Liu Bagou and their proposed title of meritorious hero Li Xuan thought it was okay, so he didn't make much changes, but in order to imitate the descendants of later generations to send the hereditary titles and other titles indiscriminately, he only added two: hereditary repudiation is not the merit of saving the country; The three dukes of the duke and the earl are not awarded for their non-military merits.

In this way, to a large extent, it can prevent future generations from indiscriminately replacing the hereditary weapon, and it can also prevent anyone from being able to get a title.

If you want to get a knighthood, you have to fight and make meritorious contributions!

Li Xuan said this personally, Liu Bagou and Fang Dongquan naturally have no opinions, they are the first generation of rebellion, proper founding heroes, and the restrictions on knighthood and even hereditary rences have little impact on them, what really affects the later people, and the later people will care? Care about a fart!

All they care about is what title they get!

After Liu Bagou and the others sent the revised title system up, Li Xuan took a closer look and made sure that there was no problem with his own seal, well, it was also the national seal of the Tang Dynasty, which officially determined the title system of the Tang Dynasty.

After determining the title system, Li Xuan looked at everyone and looked at him, knowing that these people couldn't wait to get a knighthood.

Li Xuan didn't pretend for too long, and soon he began to seal the heroes, and after some old-fashioned and obscure words, Li Xuan began to officially open the seal.

Fang Dongquan, who can't read big characters, naturally doesn't care about the lot of nonsense that Li Xuan said before, it is nothing more than that the establishment of the Tang Dynasty is the Li family's father and son adhering to the will of heaven, and Li Xuan, the emperor, is also granted by the mandate of heaven and other nonsense, these words can deceive outsiders, and telling them is equivalent to telling them to Niu Ma.

Who are the Li family's father and son, they don't know? used to be a small landlord, well, at the beginning, Lear Bi had a good brain, so he pulled Liu Bagou, a fortune teller, and Chen Butcher, a pig killer, and others to start a game of emperor and founding the country.

As for why it was able to survive under the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers, and developed into a 'huge' dynasty that now controls a hundred miles of land and 100,000 people. To be honest, even Li Xuan himself felt incredible, except that God was helping, he really couldn't think of any other reason.

From ancient times to the present, there have been many people who have rebelled, and there are countless people who have established a dynasty with a hot head like their Li family, but they can really set up a stage like they are now, and have thousands of troops, which is really few people who have done it.

After some nonsense, Li Xuan soon knighted the important ministers of the Tang Dynasty, first of all, Liu Bagou, who worked hard and made great achievements, and helped the Li family's father and son to the emperor's throne with a handful of and urine, and Li Xuan gave him an unprecedented earl.

And Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren, Wang Danxu, Hao Bonian, Qian Mengjiu, and Wang Wenhua were named viscounts.

Chen Butcher, Cai Erhu and others were made barons.

After these titles were sealed, everyone present did not fail, and the last one was a baron, who became a nominal nobleman.

Why nominal?

Because these titles are all virtual titles, there are no fiefs! And although Yu Lu said how many there were, in fact it was just a number, and they couldn't get their hands on it at all.

It's normal to have no fiefdoms, and many previous dynasties did this, but it's a bit abnormal to have no fiefdoms, why is this?

This is because the Tang Dynasty has no money, and there are only 10,000 taels of silver in the treasury, and these silver are needed to buy various materials, especially to buy strategic materials such as sulfur, saltpeter, lead, iron, and copper needed to maintain the war.

Therefore, it is impossible for these precious gold and silver to be paid as wages, so the titles of these nobles are the same as the salaries of officials, and they can only be owed first, when will they be paid? That's only God knows.

So far, the Tang Dynasty is still gloriously maintaining the fine tradition of not making money!
