After the matter of the scholar was confirmed, Liu Hong pondered, since I had undergone major surgery, I simply changed the title system together, and I would have to trouble in the future.

Thinking of this, Liu Hong spoke directly and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, since we have determined the scholar, let's just set the title anew." ”

"Your Majesty's meaning, we directly abandon the previous title system and determine some new titles from scratch?"

"yes, that's what I mean."

The title system of the Han Dynasty was the twentieth rank of the Qin Dynasty. They are the first-level public scholar, the second-level Shangzao, the third-level hairpin, the fourth-level non-change, the fifth-level doctor, the sixth-level official doctor, the seventh-level public doctor, the eighth-level public ride, the ninth-level five doctors, the tenth-level left chief, the eleventh level of the right chief, the twelfth-level left watch, the thirteenth-level middle watch, the fourteenth-level right watch, the fifteenth-level Shaoshangzao, the sixteenth-level Dashangzao, the seventeenth-level chariot chief, the eighteenth-level Dashu Chang, the nineteenth-level Guannei Hou, and the twentieth level Chehou. Later, in order to avoid the name of Emperor Wu, the Marquis of Che was changed to the Marquis of Liehou.

Strictly speaking, if this knighthood system can be strictly implemented, it can be regarded as a good system. After all, it's already divided in great detail from low to high. However, it is a pity that due to the poor implementation of the system, the current title system has almost existed in name only. Especially for low-level titles, there is almost no difference between having and not having them.

Therefore, Liu Hong felt that if he wanted to re-establish the function of the knighthood, he could only reopen the gong and drum.

After some consideration by everyone, Liu Hong also divided the title into nine grades, from high to low, namely, duke, marquis, uncle, son, male, lord, quasi-lord, lord and meritorious people. Since the names of the Duke and the Third Duke overlap a bit, the two must not coexist. Therefore, everyone determined that the day when the new title was implemented was the day when the official system was reformed.

To be able to obtain the knighthood, it must be a meritorious person. Because this title is a reward for the imperial court. Therefore, the privilege of the person who has the title must be much heavier than the privilege of the taxi that has just been concocted.

After some discussion, each title not only completely inherits the privileges of the same class, but also increases the privileges to show the dignity of the title.

In ancient times, what was most important was to glorify the ancestors, which was quite a glorious thing. Therefore, even if they are the lowest-level knights, Liu Hong also gives them the right to glorify their ancestors.

In order to ensure that those who have a knighthood have a worry-free life, the meritorious people, the honorable people, and the brigadier are of the third class, and if they have no work, they may have a certain amount of subsistence allowance according to the rank of the knighthood.

As for the lords, they don't have to worry about life at all, because they all have fiefdoms, which are enough to guarantee a superior life. And the higher the title, the larger the fief, and the more secure life will be. And the fiefs are all hereditary, and as long as you don't sell them directly to others, they will never be reduced, so this is a permanent guarantee of life.

Moreover, the honor of the lord of the same product is greater than that of the official of the same product. If you are a Jiupin Shi, you don't need to bow down when you see a Jiupin official, you just need to bow your hand. And the nine-rank officials and nine-rank scholars, when they see the same ninth-rank knighthood, they have to pay tribute first, which is the respect for the title.

The privileged class, the gentry alone, cannot fully meet the needs of the common people. And officials, because they need to run the country, this needs talent, so it cannot be lightly given. But there is no such scruple about the title, so Liu Hong deliberately reduced the difficulty of obtaining the knighthood, so that the people could see the opportunity to be knighted, so as to meet the needs of the people for the privileged class.

Officers and non-commissioned officers are all obtained through assessment, and it is easy to form a standard. And the acquisition of knighthood is obtained through meritorious service, which is usually difficult to obtain. Therefore, in the past, in addition to having a relationship with the emperor, the others were basically knighted for military merits.

For Liu Hong, if he continued to use the previous method, he would not be able to supplement the privileged class at all, so he needed to find another way.

After some deliberation, there was no good solution. In the end, it was Liu Hong who thought of those Xiuzhen sects in the novels of his previous life, all of whom used contribution points to manage the sects. In the end, after discussion, the contribution points were improved and used in the knighthood, and all the problems were solved.

To implement contribution points, merit needs to be quantified. The origin of meritorious service is mainly obtained by making contributions to society, and there are corresponding meritorious points for various contributions.

In order to promote morality, Liu Hong deliberately stipulated that moral values can be converted into meritorious values. Even if you can't contribute to society, as long as you can be strict with yourself, reach the height of morality, and get people to agree. After a vote in the House of Representatives, it is considered that whichever level you reach, you will get merit points for which level.

And in order to expand the privileged class, Liu Hong made a bold stipulation, that is, merit points can be bought with money. After all, giving money to the state can also be regarded as a contribution.

However, there is a limit to the number of merit points that can be bought with money, and they cannot be infinitely worth buying and selling. Otherwise, those rich people will all get high titles, and in that case, the titles will lose their sacred side and lose the value of enhancing people's sense of honor.

This kind of regulation is to allow the common people to get the opportunity to be knighted, so as to expand the privileged class. Therefore, the lowest third-class titles, meritorious people, honorable people, and brigadier knights, are actually civil lords. Like the taxi, they can be easily achieved, in order to let the people see hope and play a role in inspiring.

However, because the difficulty of obtaining this title is too small, this kind of title cannot be inherited. If you want to get it, you can only fight for it yourself.

The three levels of lord, male, and son are considered true titles, because their descendants can inherit them. However, although this title can be inherited, it is not once and for all. Each time you inherit it, you need to lower it by one level until you reach the rank of Meritorious Person. However, the status of nobility can be retained permanently.

Since he can become a permanent nobleman, and in order to show the dignity of the title, the difficulty of obtaining him has skyrocketed. In order to increase the difficulty of obtaining, each of these three levels is divided into two levels, which are distinguished by counties and counties, with the county being the lowest and the county being the highest.

As for the three levels of uncle, hou, and duke, they are absolute nobles. After they can directly inherit the fifth generation, they need to be demoted to one level of inheritance, and at most, they will be reduced to the county lord and will no longer be downgraded.

In order to increase the difficulty of obtaining it, each level is divided into three classes, divided by country, county, and county, with the county being the lowest and the highest in the country.

However, the changed fiefdom policy is completely different from before. The recipient only enjoyed the taxes of the fief, did not participate in the management of the fief, and it was impossible to set up an army. After the tax department collects the tax, as long as the necessary expenses in the fief are removed, all the other money will be transferred to him, and the whole process is supervised by the House of Representatives, so there is no need to worry about anyone making trouble.

Although the recipient does not directly manage the fief, he is the owner of the fief and has the supreme power of the fief, and the quality of the governance of the fief also directly affects the income of the fief. Therefore, the recipient has a veto power over the officials in his fiefdom. As long as the officials in his fiefdom can't do a good job and can't satisfy him, he has the right to directly let the court change people, and it will be changed until he is satisfied.
