readx;?ps: Tonight's second chapter, ask for recommendation votes!
"What rank is the official doctor?"
As soon as he got down, Tian Ben grabbed the neighboring Yu Xi and made noise. Tian Ben, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun", was too excited when he received the knighthood, and he didn't remember the names of the new titles that he was awkward at all, so he could only ask people around.
"Pay attention to the number of courtesies...... Yu Xi waved away his big hand in disgust, and said: "Zhao Guogong is the twelfth rank, and the official doctor is the ninth rank. “
"Doctor Guan......" Tian Benxi smiled, sounding like a big official, he asked Yu Xi again: "Then what are you?" “
Yu Xi smiled faintly, raised his head, and revealed his gold belt and green ribbon: "Doctor Gong, tenth level." ”
Tian Ben's face turned pale: "Taller than me or lower than me?" “
"Who's bigger than ten or nine?"
Tian Ben thought for a moment: "Naturally, it's ten." “
"Then I'll be a step above you."
Tian Ben was stunned, in fact, he once galloped to the aid of the Lu State, forcibly crossed the Longmen, attacked Xinjiang, and pursued the Qin army, and his contributions were actually no less than Yu Xi. It's just that he also has a lot of mistakes, and he was once demoted to the grassroots level as a pawn, and now he can mix with an official doctor, and it is already Zhao Wuxian's special love, so Tian Ben did not complain, but was a little moved, but Mu Xia Yuxi and the two old guys were taller than him, but he could only mix with Qi Wan, Youcheng and other latecomers, and he couldn't help but be a little angry.
"The past cannot be admonished, but the coming can still be chased, reluctant, reluctant."
Yu Xi smiled and patted Tian Ben's shoulder, with a look of "you continue to work hard", and then pulled the silk belt around his waist, and walked out with the steps of the courtiers who had learned from the courtiers, he was a small slave in the Zhao stable, after more than ten years of birth and death, he has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, but now he is ranked among the top ten heroes of the Zhao State, as if he is among the top nobles, Yu Xi is naturally qualified to be proud.
In the face of his crown and ribbon, the courtiers with a smaller title than him showed extremely admiring expressions and sent him away, because looking at the Hanyuan Hall of Weiyang Palace, there are really not many people who can get the title of "Gong Doctor".
In the promulgated "Military Lordship Law", Zhao Guo's martial arts lords have a total of 12 ranks, from low to high: first-class public scholar, second-level scholar, third-level good soldier, fourth-level Rongshi, fifth-level national scholar, sixth-level non-change, seventh-level Bingduo, eighth-level Zhirong, ninth-level official doctor, tenth-level public doctor, eleventh level Zhigui, and twelfth-level Yuanrong.
Considering that Zhao Wuxian himself is just a prince, he naturally will not copy the twentieth rank of the Qin and Han dynasties, and make jokes such as "Marquis of Guannei and Marquis of Che", as for the names such as "Zuo Shu Chang and Da Shu Chang", he cannot be emulated from the Qin State that now prostrates to the Zhao family and claims to be a small sect, so he simply made a "twelve-class duke" according to the characteristics of the Jin State itself.
The "Law of Military Titles" has stricter restrictions on the principle of rewarding knighthoods, and "the relocation of officials and titles is commensurate with military merits". For example, ordinary people who have just reached the age of 17 and who have enlisted in the army are ordinary "soldiers"; through combat, beheading, or capturing prisoners, and after making meritorious contributions, they will be registered in the register by military judges at the grass-roots level, and after the war, they can be "knighted" according to the number of meritorious deeds.
A head or prisoner can be promoted from a soldier to a public officer, that is, the lowest title, and then the number of heads or prisoners required increases, and from a public soldier to a soldier, two heads are required; Rise to the rank of a good man, three heads; The good man is promoted to the rank of the soldier, five heads; Rong Shi was promoted to the rank of national soldier, ten heads; If you don't get promoted from the national soldier, you will need twenty heads......
Of course, when the title gradually rises, the position in the army will also rise, and the soldiers and national soldiers are already equivalent to the rank of the commander of a hundred people, and the soldiers in the army have to kill and injure and capture twenty people, although it is difficult, but there are also opportunities.
The first six levels are equivalent to the soldiers before the reform, and the last six levels are the level of the secretary doctor, and the standard for meritorious service is no longer simply beheading and captive, but to consider whether the responsibility has been fulfilled in the campaign and even the war, and has played a key role in defeating the enemy.
That's why Yu Xi was able to rise to the tenth-level "Gong Dafu" in his thirties, because his cavalry repeatedly played the role of a winner and loser.
The origins of him, Mu Xia, Tian Ben, Qi Wan and others are equivalent to announcing to the whole people of Zhao State: All those who have military merits, regardless of their origins, classes and strata, can enjoy Juelu! Zhao Wuxian even stipulated: "The Zhao clan shall not be a high-ranking lord unless it has military merits", which is to cancel the hereditary privileges enjoyed by the clan nobles, and they can no longer obtain high-ranking officials and titles and fiefdoms just by virtue of blood relations as in the past.
Does this mean that Zhao Guo has completely broken with "Shiqing Shilu"? Not necessarily, because military merit can be passed on to the son, if the father dies in battle, his merit can be credited to the son, if the son can fight bravely, he can keep the title, but if he sits on the mountain, the knight will be removed after three generations!
This was the stimulus that prompted the people of Zhao to go forward and participate in the war, because the more enemy heads they killed during the battle, the greater the merit they made, the higher the title they obtained, and the higher the treatment they received.
In the army, the rank is different, the meals eaten at each meal are even different, and the military salary received every year is also different.
For example, there is no remuneration for the army, you have to bring your own clothes other than armor, you can only eat the most basic rations, even if you die in battle, it is also an obligation for the country, except for a small amount of pension, it is difficult for the family to get other compensation. But once promoted to a public servant, the treatment is different, and the most attractive thing is the "military lord receiving the field".
Ordinary people, an adult man receives 100 acres of land, used to feed a family of five, with the increase of military merits, the public can receive 1 and a half hectares of land, 2 hectares of good soldiers, and can have a gang to help cultivate, in turn, to Zhigui, Yuanrong, the field has been as many as 100 hectares, it can be said that it is a large landlord in half of the county, but to that extent, the number of land and houses can no longer enter their eyes.
The "Military Lordship Law" also stipulates that those with high titles will be rewarded heavily, and those with low titles will be rewarded lightly, and officers will be rewarded more than soldiers. With the ninth-level title of "official doctor" as the boundary, the official doctor has made meritorious service below, but it is just a few thousand dollars and a few slaves. But high-ranking generals like Tian Ben and Yu Xi care about the "tax and yi" that follows after making meritorious service, that is, adding food to households, and even getting the territory and becoming a feudal king......
After all, the Spring and Autumn Period is the "feudal era", and it is everyone's wish to be the lord of the land, although when he was in charge of the Lu State, Zhao Wuxian relied on Zhang Mengtan to lead by example and "the rich do not return to their hometowns like brocade clothes at night" to curb the desire of his subordinates to obtain fiefs, but after returning to the Jin Kingdom, he has successively given some border towns to his subordinates, and now they are just standardizing and legalizing these rewards.
Among them, the food tax of the official doctor ranges from 300 to 500, and the food tax of the public doctor is in the dining pavilion, the Zhigui food township, and the Yuanrong food county......
The official doctor is still a few hundred tax households, but when he arrives at the public doctor, he is already directly eating the land, so he is also called "Li Dafu", Zhigui is commonly known as "Xiangjun", and Yuan Rong is "County Jun".
Stepping out of the Hanyuan Hall of Weiyang Palace, he got a "fiefdom" near Yecheng, and Yu Xi's eyes, which were envied by everyone, revealed more longing.
The eleventh and twelfth rank lords of Zhao State are now only a few people, namely Dong Anyu, Post Wuzheng and other important ministers, and they have each received a township or even a county reward! After all, in the process from the Zhao family to the establishment of the Zhao state, the two old ministers paid decades of hard work to lay the foundation of this new country.
Yu Xi was absent from the war against Qin and Zheng, otherwise he would have been able to rank in Shanggui.
This is Zhao Wuxian's trick to avoid his subordinates' high merit, but Yu Xi still hopes that he can make more contributions in the future war, holding a jade jade like Post Wuzheng and Dong Anyu, wearing the crown of a secretary, standing in the forefront of the court, and there is a county that can be passed down from generation to generation, and tens of thousands of people are waiting for him to govern......
"The eldest husband has no other ambitions, and he should still make meritorious contributions to foreign lands, galloping through the Central Plains, in order to win the throne!"
From this day on, meritorious service as the county monarch, and the country with the rest, not only Yu Xi's ambition, but also the Zhao State has the common ambition of those who are interested in fame, although Zhao Wuxian has directly said in the "Military Lord Law": "The counties given are limited to Dai County, Shang County, Hejian, Zuo Fengyi, and the inner counties are not allowed to be crowned kings!" ”
And when someone was in the emptiness of the treasury and tentatively asked whether to implement the "Nasu Baijue", Zhao Hou categorically refused.
He said a passage from the mouth of Confucius, but Zhao Wuxian hoped that his children and grandchildren would always obey when he was knighted:
"Only the name and the instrument, not the Jia people!" (To be continued.) )
