The ministers and generals were very interested in what Qin Dong said about things that had interests in them, and they all stretched their necks and pricked up their ears to listen, only to see Qin Dong say: "A few days ago, I convened the generals to discuss and introduced the military rank system in the military. ”

The so-called official rank system is actually an extension of the Nine Rank Official Law, which first appeared in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties periods, and refers to the division of characters into nine grades, that is, upper, upper, middle, lower. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, each product was divided into positive and from, and from the fourth product, it was divided into upper and lower steps, a total of 30 and so on. In the Tang and Song dynasties, the civil service was the same as that of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the three grades of the military profession were divided into upper and lower ranks. Sui, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties are the same, stay positive, from the product, no upper and lower ranks, a total of eighteen and so on.

During the Cao Wei period, Cao Pi adopted Chen Qun's Jianyi in order to win over the scholars, and adopted the Jiupin Zhongzheng system to elect officials, so the Jiupin Zhongzheng made the main official election system during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. At that time, however, the probation had not yet been completely abolished. The Jiupin Zhongzheng system was produced under this background shape.

The first thing to do is to set up Zhongzheng, which is the key to the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, the so-called Zhongzheng, which is the person in charge of evaluating the characters in a certain region, that is, the Zhongzheng official. The state has a large central official who is in charge of the evaluation of the characters in several counties in the state, and each county has a small central official.

The second step is to rank the first person, which is the main responsibility of the central magistrate. The Lieutenant was responsible for evaluating scholars of his same nationality, including those in the prefecture and in other counties. There are three main points in the evaluation. One is family background, and the other is family origin and background. It refers to the seniority of the fathers and grandparents, the situation of the eunuchs and the level of the title. These materials are called books or books, and they are something that the central magistrate must master in detail. 2. Behavior: that is, the general evaluation of personal character and ability. Equivalent to a moral comment. The general comments of the Wei and Jin dynasties are generally very concise, such as "the talent is brilliant, bright and outstanding", "the virtue is excellent and the ability is few", etc. 3. Determine the grade: that is, determine the grade. In principle, the order is based on the line, and the family history is only for reference.

The third step is to report the results to the Situ government for approval.

The purpose of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system is to select talents for the imperial court, which is the same as the previous perceptual system and the later imperial examination system, rather than assessing the grades of all existing officials, so the official rank and grade system mentioned by Qin Dong is different from the Jiupin Zhongzheng system.

After hearing this official rank system, the ministers did not understand what this term meant for a while, and no one spoke up. Just waited for Qin Dong to continue. Sure enough, Qin Dong continued: "A few days ago, we carried out the reform of the imperial court political system, and reorganized various institutions and departments of the imperial court. All of you, as well as the officials who are not here today, have new positions and titles, but these are only positions, and there are high and low positions, but there are no high or low. And the official rank system introduced by me is to distinguish between high and low officials. The higher the official rank, the more honorable, the lower the rank, the lower the low, this is just a means, my purpose is to make the officials understand that the higher the rank, the more noble, but the responsibility he bears is heavier, this is actually a disguised incentive mechanism, the object of incentive is the officials. Encourage officials to be big officials, good officials, and strive to climb up. In order to prevent some officials from unscrupulously disregarding the interests of the country and the overall situation in order to climb up, the newly established Metropolitan Procuratorate is the nemesis of these officials, so you must remember that I encourage officials to climb up, and I once said to the soldiers of the army that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, and I will also say to you today: An official who does not want to be a chief assistant is not a good official! However, it is necessary to rely on one's own ability, not to be clever, and to use one's own wisdom and talents in governing government affairs is the right way, do you all understand? ”

The ministers and generals all saluted together and said loudly: "The ministers understand, and they will live up to Your Majesty's high expectations!" ”

"Good!" Qin Dong waved his hand to the eunuch standing behind him as he spoke, "Explain to the ministers and generals what is the official rank system!" ”

"Yes!" The eunuch bent down and agreed, then stepped forward and opened a roll of yellow cloth and read: "The so-called official rank and grade system is to locate and evaluate the grade of the existing official position, how many grades are there in total, and how to evaluate the grade?" All officials of all sizes are divided into nine grades and eighteen grades, from one grade to nine grades, and each grade is divided into positive and subordinate.

The above is the general situation of the official rank of the official, and there are many official positions that are not read out because of the complexity of the famous city, and the specific adults can receive the relevant official documents outside the door when they leave after the court meeting. If you have any questions, please ask me."

The officials heard it very clearly and understood their rank, but they had no objections, but at this time, Ruth from the military general's side came out and saluted Qin Dong: "Your Majesty, why did you only read the grade of their civil official just now, why don't you have the grade of our military general?" At most, only the officers of the Military Aircraft Academy have grades, and there are no generals and officers stationed abroad! ”

Qin Dongdao: "The military has promulgated the rank system, what do you still need official positions and grades for?" The military rank of the army is equivalent to the official rank of the civilian official, for example, the first rank of the civilian official is the same level as the marshal of the army, the second rank is the same level as the general, the third rank is the same level as the lieutenant general, and so on, to the bottom, from the ninth rank to the same level as the first sergeant major, understand? ”

"I don't understand! Your Majesty, what grade is my Major General equivalent to? ”

Qin Dong said angrily: "There is no comparison, the army is the army, the civil official is the civilian official, they are two different systems, each is better than the other, if you really have to compare, your rank of major general is equivalent to the third grade of the civilian official!" ”

"Oh!" Ruth returned to his place in a daze, and his innocent appearance caused the ministers to burst into laughter, and this burst of laughter made Russ laugh again with a red eye and a thick neck, but Ruth also knew that this was not another place where he could go wild, so he could only endure it.

Seeing this, Qin Dong ignored it, looked at the others and asked, "What do you ministers think of the establishment of this official rank?" ”

Petheus stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister of the State Council Peteus thinks that this system is very good, as His Majesty said, the purpose of formulating this official rank is to motivate officials, and at the same time, it is also reminding officials to pay attention to their status and level, not to trespass, to understand that the higher the official rank, the heavier the responsibility on the body, the minister agreed!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

One by one, the officials stood up and saluted Qin Dong to express their agreement with this official rank system, so as to distinguish the high and low status of officials.

Qin Dong saw that everyone stood up and agreed, nodded with satisfaction: "Well, that's good, the relevant departments of the State Council will promulgate and implement it in accordance with this system, and try their best to come up with a specific plan to promulgate and implement it, and the official uniforms of officials will also be redesigned, so that people can immediately understand what level the official's grade is, and the low-grade officials should salute when they see the high-grade officials!" ”

"Your Ministers obey!"

"Retreat!" Qin Dong got up and waved his sleeves down and left, and the officials were still shouting long live in the main hall. (To be continued......)
