Chapter 771: Official Ranks, Military Ranks, and Titles

Now that the Han Dynasty has gained substantial unification, many things naturally have to be arranged in a unified manner.

Administrative unity, military unity, anyway, all aspects will be involved.

All this, for Liu Yi, he never thought that he was such an ordinary and ordinary soldier who could directly govern a large country. Although in recent years, Liu Yi has been a little mentally prepared and prepared, but now that Dahan has really been unified by himself, he still feels that there are thousands of things waiting for him to sort out.

When Liu Yi really looked at the problem from this position, he really felt that his intelligence was lacking, and it was impossible for him to completely govern the country well on his own. Fortunately, he has always had some preparations, and so many advisers around him can conduct more in-depth discussions and express their opinions together according to the topic plan he has been summarizing, so as to formulate a policy strategy related to the development of the entire Han Dynasty, and release it to the officials in various places and to the people below through the imperial court.

In this way, everyone has a clear development goal and a clear code of conduct. It won't be messed up.

In addition, Liu Yi also carefully read and studied some of the things recorded in the encyclopedia of solar mobile phones, found some political strategies that could be used for reference, transcribed them, and took them out to discuss with the ministers, and found a political strategy that was more suitable for the implementation of the current situation of the new Han Dynasty.

For example, during this time, Liu Yi was very concerned about studying and pondering how various dynasties in history governed the world after the founding of the country, and compared the policies of governing the world after the founding of the Qin and Han dynasties, Sui and Tang dynasties, Song and Ming dynasties, and the Qing Dynasty. Find out some of them that are suitable for the implementation of the new Han Dynasty and remove the dross. Take the best of it.

Among them, there is one point that Liu Yi feels is very worthy of his own attention and reference. You need to avoid it.

What is it? It is necessary to avoid rushing as much as possible.

There are many political strategies and many action plans for the benefit of the country and the people, which have been more or less proven to be good measures in history, but at a certain time, they will not work. Often, good things turn into bad things, serious things. It can even affect the rise and fall of a dynasty or even its demise.

This can be taken from the Qin Emperor period and the Sui Dynasty period. During the period of the Qin Emperor, the Qin Emperor made the book with the same text, the same track as the car, and the degree of measurement, and built the majestic Great Wall, and also sent troops to Lingnan, and carried out a series of major measures for the development of various places. After the founding of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui made great efforts to govern the country and govern the country diligently and thriftily. However, he also has wisdom and eloquence, and after he succeeded to the throne, he also implemented many political strategies that benefited the country and the people. Such as the digging of the Grand Canal, the three expeditions to Goryeo and so on. In fact, they are all measures that benefit the country and the people and are quite pioneering. However, the Qin Dynasty is also good. Whether it is the Sui Dynasty or not, it is a short-lived dynasty. They are all dynasties that flourished and died.

Why? In general, they all made a mistake of being too hasty.

Emperor Qin and Emperor Yang of Sui both wanted to do everything at once, thus ignoring the problem of their basic national conditions at that time and the problem of the endurance that the common people could bear.

It is good to have the same text and the same track, which is conducive to the exchange and progress between ethnic groups in various regions of China, but the compulsory implementation has become oppression, and there have been incidents of burning books and pit Confucianism. As a result, some traditional knowledge that should be preserved has been lost to the world, which has affected the development of some aspects.

It is not wrong to build the Great Wall and dig the Grand Canal, but when the people are overwhelmed, forcibly conscripting people to complete these projects will become a scourge to the people, causing confusion among the people in the world, which will soon lead to chaos in the world.

The same thing, after the founding of the postmodern era, the large-scale production movement carried out seems to have been carried out relatively well under the national conditions at that time. Although it turned out that this could not be sustained for a long time, in the early stage, it was indeed very good. For example, the construction of water conservancy, the reclamation of wasteland, etc., is almost the whole people, everyone is scrambling, without the pressure of the government, everyone can use their lives to divert water and use their blood and sweat to build.

Therefore, after Liu Yi discussed with the ministers, he thought that for the time being, the entire Han Dynasty should not have too many big moves to work the people and hurt money at once. The world has decided that for the time being, it is still necessary to focus on the governance of the people's livelihood in the world, and we cannot be in a hurry.

In this way, Liu Yi had to consider whether it would be appropriate to send millions of New Han troops out of the country to fight immediately.

On the issue of people's livelihood and politics, a series of relatively prudent policies have been formulated. These programs have been implemented in Sili Prefecture, Bingzhou, Yongzhou, as well as in Jingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, etc., and the results are quite good. As long as we can ensure political clarity, I believe that in one or two decades, there will not be too many problems. It can be a good way for the people of the world to get a period of recuperation and recuperation with rapid development.

Therefore, in terms of military and political affairs, after consulting with the ministers, they all believed that the New Han Dynasty had just unified the Han Dynasty, and it was not appropriate to raise a large army too early, so as not to cause instability in the country after the army was far away from the Han Dynasty.

The ministers believe that at present, most of the political strategies of the New Han Dynasty focus on people's livelihood, and in the short term, at most, the people of the world can be self-reliant and barely survive, and it is impossible to make all the people live a prosperous life out of thin air. Therefore, in addition to the development of agriculture, it is also necessary to pay attention to the development of industry, commerce, and other aspects, especially education.

It is foreseeable that now that the Han Dynasty is unified, it will take one to two years to do a good job in agriculture and people's livelihood, and then it will definitely usher in an era of population explosion, but if the same labor force does not make a breakthrough in industry and commerce and liberate more productive forces, so many families with children will definitely have a double burden, and the people's lives will still not be better.

In addition, in terms of medicine, the ministers also believed that it should be promoted together with education, and that some minor injuries and illnesses should no longer be allowed to kill the people.

Discussing these issues with the ministers, Liu Yi really had a big head, and he never thought about it. When you really want to govern a country seriously, there will be so many problems and difficulties.

But. Fortunately, there are so many talented ministers now, and Liu Yidan, whenever he feels that he has a headache. It was all left to them to discuss and deliberate, and after reaching a solution, the administrative plan was determined one by one.

In addition, as for the appointment of officials, Liu Yi also followed their suggestions and established the list of officials who would govern one party and one province at that time. Then, there is also the evaluation standard of the imperial court for the rank of the imperial court officials, as well as the promotion plan of the imperial court officials in the future. Also, the criteria for hiring officials in the imperial court in the future, and so on.

In this regard, Liu Yi adheres to the standard of meritocracy, but he no longer appoints officials through recommendation. It is possible to be virtuous and not shy away from relatives, but this is not the standard for hiring. But in the future, every court official must be promoted step by step from low to high. Even if the general clerk who serves at the county level and town-level county yayi post station, there must be a certain period of assessment standards. If he is competent for the job, he will become a formal appointee of the imperial court, and in the future, he will rely on his ability, qualifications, and so on. Get promoted.

Liu Yi felt that in terms of official governance, although there were still countless huge corruption in later generations. It's still a system of favored officials. But in terms of promotion, there is something commendable. That is, promotion is not easy. Climb up one level until you reach the highest position. They are generally in their seventies and eighties. This, if it is placed in this Han Dynasty, a high-ranking official of the court who has reached his seventies and eighties, what ambition does he have to cause trouble to the court? At the very least, it can be ensured to some extent that the royal family is not vulnerable to shock.

Therefore, in the future of the Han Dynasty, unless there are extremely talented and loyal officials to the imperial court, it is basically impossible to achieve the high position of a high-ranking official in the imperial court at a young age.

Together with his ministers, Liu Yi worked out the official positions of the imperial court from high to low, as well as the detailed functions of each official position. A set of promotion ladders for the ranks of court officials was also formulated. From a first-class officer to a nine-grade official. These systems are suitable for civil servants.

The rank of an official determines the size of the official position they can hold. In this way, officials of the same rank can be transferred from place to place or from one official position to another. In this way, it is also convenient for the imperial court to manage and appoint officials from all over the world in a unified manner, and it is also better to give these officials according to their ranks.

As for the army, there is also a rank. This rank corresponds to the rank of an official, except that the rank of an official only applies to civilian officials, while the rank applies to the sergeants of the entire army of the New Han Army.

The ranks of the army are from recruits to commanders,

They are recruits, soldiers, elite soldiers, cantonment officers, battalion officers, generals, major generals, lieutenant generals, generals, and so on.

Each level of military rank corresponds to a certain level of civil official rank, and receives the same Fenglu from the imperial court, with equal status. And in the army, each rank also corresponds to their position in the army. For example, a battalion officer is a battalion general, a subordinate general is equivalent to a division general, and so on. It's just that after having a military rank, the generals of the same rank in each army can be transferred to other posts at the same level in the army at will according to the situation.

When appointing civil officials in various provinces and regions of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yi was also easy, but when he wanted to give them a rank to a group of generals in the army, he felt a little scratched. Oh, there are no computers, and there are millions of people in the Xinhan Army, and it is really a very huge project to assign a military rank to every general and soldier. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even giving a group of fierce generals a general also gave Liu Yi a headache.

Because today's Han Dynasty, it can be said that they have been defeated, every army, have made great contributions, if it is based on military merits, then it is difficult to measure, in the end to seal who and who is what general, this has to have a saying. Otherwise, the generals in the army will not be satisfied, and it will also be a big problem.

However, after Liu Yi consulted with the ministers, he decided not to care too much. Just do it according to your own will, and don't rely too much on merit to seal the generals. Because if you want to make a seal based on merit, then I'm afraid it won't be enough to reward the entire Han to them.

Therefore, Liu Yi decided to simply give them the title of Top Ten Yuan Divisions and Top Ten Generals as in later generations. This is the title reward that gives them the highest honor, and the status is above the rank of general. In this way, it is possible to appease twenty generals who have made great contributions in the New Han Dynasty. The following ones will be easy to do.

In addition, Liu Yi thought about it for a long time and decided to set up another title in addition to the civilian rank and the rank in the army.

Of course, in the basic national law of the Han Dynasty, it was stipulated that this title was only an honorary title, with no substantive power and no fief. However, the title can receive an additional monthly amount of imperial court, which is equivalent to an additional reward. There will be no hereditary rank and rank, but the title can be hereditary for three generations, but each generation will be downgraded to inheritance. It is divided into: Gong, Hou, Bo, Zi, Male, County Hou, Xianghou, and Guanneihou.

Here, the basic national law of the Han Dynasty also clearly stipulates that in order to avoid disasters and avoid unnecessary troubles, the title of knighthood will no longer be set up. At most, there will only be titles such as Zhenguo Gong and so on, and there will be no titles such as Zhenwang or Chen Liuwang. Of course, the title of Emperor Chen Liuwang is retained, as well as the title of King Hongnong after the abdication of the Young Emperor. This is also a tribute to the Han Dynasty.

But in the future, even if Liu Yi ascends the throne as the emperor, the son under him will not have the possibility of being crowned king, and only one prince will be allowed. In this way, it is also to better avoid the occurrence of adverse events in the future when brothers are in the same room in order to compete for the throne.

Titles can be obtained by both civil and military officials, but only by merit. In this way, it is also a gift to those civil and military officials who have made too many meritorious contributions and do not know how to reward them.

After formulating the ranks, ranks, official positions, and titles of various civil and military generals, more than a month has passed, and it is almost winter. At this time, the civil and military officials of the imperial court and millions of new Han troops had already gathered in Luoyang.

As soon as Liu Yi saw it, it was almost October, so it was better to set the date of the official change of the country's name and the establishment of the country on the same day as the later generations, which was October 1.

However, for the time being, the emperor is still the young emperor, and Liu Yi is just presiding over such a grand founding ceremony in the name of Taifu. This, after the deliberation of the ministers, it is believed that if the young emperor abdicates to Liu Yi to ascend the throne, there will be a series of ceremonies, although these traditional ceremonies are very ancient, but they cannot be abolished, and it is necessary. This is a nominally reasonable legitimization that Lewi must comply. At least, you have to learn from the Qin Emperor Taishan to seal the Zen, and you have to go to Mount Tai to worship the sky. And now, millions of troops are concentrated in Luoyang, if they stay too long, the consumption is too great, so it is necessary to hold a ceremony to change the name of the country as soon as possible, announce the appointment of hundreds of civil and military officials in the imperial court, and then let these millions of new Han troops disperse to start the later work or arrangement.
