Zheng Qipin's personal guard Pushan County Gong Li Mi rode a horse from the east of the palace city across the city to return home, the first sunny day after the snow in the gloomy and cold weather of the previous year, just like his state of mind at this time is very bright. Yesterday afternoon, he returned to the Wei Mansion to take duty, and accompanied the brothers to escort His Majesty to Beppu of King Zhao. After he inherited the title of Duke of Pushan County from his father, he was elected to serve as the personal guard of the three guards and five mansions. This is the path of many high-ranking officials such as the prime minister of the princely Zhu State, who first entered the three guards of the Qin Xun Yi as a royal guard, and after a few years of training, they were released as officials, or served as generals and captains in the army, or as local officials. Compared with the children and grandchildren of ordinary middle and low-level officials, their official careers are obviously much smoother. Many children of middle- and low-level officials often have to enter the shogunate of the king, the prince or the chief assassin to serve as a subordinate or even a servant before they have the opportunity to take up the next position.

Li Mi has a county duke on his head, and he is a high-ranking lord from the first rank, even if this is only a transitional personal guard ministry, it is also the actual position of the seventh grade. As the great-grandson of Li Bi of the Eight Pillars Country, Li Mi's future is very ambitious, and now he is just a temporary post in the Qinwei Mansion, and most of the time he is studying at home, and only at the end of some important years or when there is a heavy ceremony, he will go to duty. But yesterday, he heard an unexpected news from his uncle Li Changya's mouth, a news that had a lot to do with him. Uncle Li Changya is the son of Li Mi's great-grandfather, Li Bi, the fourth son of Li Bi of the Bazhu State of the Western Wei Dynasty, and the son of Li Lun, the Duke of Heyang County, and the second daughter of Yang Jian, the son of the Great Sui Emperor, to marry the princess of Xiangguo. Li Mi's grandfather, Li Yao, was Li Bi's eldest son. Originally, he was supposed to inherit the title of Duke of Wei by Li Bi, but because Li Bi's second son, Li Hui, married the eldest princess of Yi'an, the sister of Emperor Zhou Ming, at that time. Therefore, in the end, the Northern Zhou Dynasty handed over Li Bi's Duke of Wei to Li Bi's second son, Li Hui, to inherit it. At that time, the Li family was still the core family of the Guanlong military aristocracy, so the Northern Zhou Emperor turned his head and gave Li Bi's eldest son the title of Duke of Xingguo. Li Bi had six sons. The second son attacked the Duke of Wei, the eldest son was named the Duke of Xing, and the other four sons were also named the Duke of Zhenxiang County, the Duke of Heyang County, the Duke of Zhao County and the Duke of Hedong County.

Li Mi was born in such a top family of Guanlong with the third prince of the fourth world, after entering the Sui Dynasty, the power of the Li family did not weaken much, and Li Mi's father was crowned the Pillar State and the Duke of Pushan County after entering the Sui Dynasty. If he hadn't died early, there would definitely be no shortage of a prince. Li Kuan died early, and Li Mi inherited the title of Duke of Pushan County when he was a teenager.

The uncle happily informed himself that the emperor had officially decreed that his cousin Sujun would be added as the princess of Heyang County. It was specially decreed to marry the emperor's eldest grandson, King Zhao, as a concubine.

As soon as Li Mi heard the news, the smart head immediately realized that this was an excellent thing for the Li family, and it was also a rare opportunity for him. The emperor's eldest grandson, King Zhao, is now the most popular and favored clan in the court, and during this period of time, even if he studies behind closed doors at home, it does not prevent him from often hearing various rumors about His Royal Highness King Zhao. Now this King Zhao has been newly appointed as the governor of Youzhou and the marshal of the Eastern Turkic Road of the Northern Expedition. It is extremely reused by the Son of Heaven. The uncle's daughter can be promised to King Zhao as a princess, which is not only the second daughter of her uncle, Emperor Yang Jian, but also the princess of Xiangguo, who was the wife of Emperor Shang Sui. At the beginning, the Li family was very close to the Yuwen family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and his second uncle also married the eldest princess of Yi'an, the sister of Emperor Ming of Zhou, so the Sui Dynasty was the queen of Zhou. was not immune to some involvement, but fortunately, his uncle Changya married the princess of Xiangguo, the daughter of Emperor Sui, so that the Li family could stabilize the decline.

Today, he has sent someone to Guozijian to ask the teacher Bao Kai to come to the door. There are some things he needs to ask his teacher for. Bao Kai was an assistant professor of Guozijian and a well-known scholar of the Han Classics. In the Guozijian, Xiao should be the master craftsman. Gather disciples and professors, and have thousands of disciples. Li Mibai and the two are teachers, although he is young, he is the one who has been taught the most by the disciples of Bao Kai.

Bao Kai was an elegant scholar with a gray beard, who received the Five Classics from his brother Bao Yu. He also received "Historical Records" and "Book of Han" from Wang Zhongtong. He was the most authoritative scholar of Hanshu at this time, and his reputation was extremely high among the Guozijian. Although Bao Kai has thousands of disciples, the most important thing is Li Mi, he thinks that although Li Mi is young, he is very perceptive and a good material for learning. In the opinion of his disciple Li Mi, Mr. Bao is very knowledgeable, but unfortunately he refuses to be a scholar, otherwise it would be no problem even if he was a state assassin. Bao Fuzi was obsessed with learning and had no ambition for a career. However, Li Mi is different, although he also likes to read, and even has the best grades among Bao Kai's thousands of disciples, but Li Mi does not want to do a lifetime of learning like a teacher and specialize in the pile of old papers. What he hopes is to learn literary and martial arts, and sell the goods to the emperor's family in the future, just like his great-grandfather Li Bi, to be able to choose a Ming master, assist the Ming master to govern the world, and also gain a reputation and wealth, and revitalize the lintel of the Li family.

The Li family used to be the core family of the Guanlong Group and one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, but now when people mention the Li family, the first thing that comes to mind is the family of Taishi Li Mu, and then the family of Li Hu of the Eight Pillars Kingdom.

"I plan to go to King Zhao to seek a job." Back at home, Li Mi said bluntly to the teacher Bao Kai, who had been waiting for a long time.

Bao Kai was silent for a moment: "In fact, with your qualifications and talent, if you calm down and concentrate on learning, your achievements will surpass me in the future, even if you become a generation of Wenzong." ”

"Teacher, the more students read, the more they feel that they can't just do learning. If you want to help the world and the people, if you want to spread the teachings of the saints, and realize the concept of the saints in governing the world, you should still hold the authority, so that you can truly show your strengths and carry forward the hadith of the sages. ”

Seeing Li Mi's determined appearance, Bao Kai shook his head, feeling a little sighing, but he didn't stop him any longer, "Okay, just do what you want." ”

Temple of Manna.

Yang Jian and Yi Feng Junchen are alone, since Yi Feng agreed to Yang Jian's marriage to the daughter of the princess of Xiangguo, the emperor's attitude towards him has become closer and closer.

"Sumeru, you told me yesterday about the official rank reform, I didn't hear the specific situation very clearly yesterday, you can talk to me carefully." Yang Jian looked at the imperial grandson who was kneeling and sitting at the bottom of the imperial stairs, and asked seriously.

"Yes, Weichen thinks that in the current court official system, there are still some deficiencies in the official system of the imperial court, and there are still some deficiencies in the rank of officials, scattered officials, honors, and titles, and there is a lack of an overall orderly order. Just like the Eastern Route Army of the Northern Expedition, which is about to start this time. Weichen is the marshal of the East Road and the general manager of Youzhou. is still the king of Zhao, and he has the honor of the Shangzhu country. Commonplace. However, the current civil and military affairs, some of them are the governors of a state, but they only have the rank of Yitong Sansi, and some are only a town general, but they have the title of county duke, and so on, especially for the Youzhou Mansion that has just undergone a round of rectification, it is more and more unfavorable to the command and command. Therefore, Weichen thought that the imperial court bureaucratic system. In general, it can be summarized into four categories, loose officials, professional officials, honored officers, and knights. There are four types of official positions, some officials have all four officials, and some have only one official. ”

Yang Jian nodded, the official system of the Sui Dynasty actually inherited the official system of the Northern Qi Dynasty, not the official system of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The Northern Qi bureaucracy was inherited from the Han, Jin, and Wei dynasties, but after attracting the results of long-term development, a unique new official system was formed. Yi Feng said. And it's true. After Yang Jian established the country, he mainly carried out reforms in the Northern Qi official system, forming the main body of the central three provinces and six ministries. The local state and county system, the military system of the 12 guards, and so on. But it's not already perfect, as is the flood of knighthoods. The children of the big clan rely on the shadow of the door to stand out and control almost the entire officialdom. There are few opportunities for the children of the poor to enter the workforce. The government of the imperial court actually entered the era of aristocratic gate lords. He, the Great Sui Emperor. In fact, it's just the biggest gate valve in the world.

However, it is extremely difficult to change this qiē, and the gate valve clan is deeply rooted, so how easy is it to change?

"If you have any ideas, you can feel free to say them boldly."

Yi Feng proposed some suggestions on the official system at this time, of course, not because he was not idle and worried about the radish, but because the existing official system had affected him. He was appointed as the governor of Youzhou, no matter what, he was always unwilling to be just an empty manager. He also wants to take the opportunity to control Youzhou Mansion, but it is difficult with his current strength. After thinking about it, he thought of some changes to the existing official system from top to bottom, to help him strengthen his control over Youzhou.

"Weichen thinks that he can first make the loose officials ranked, and position the loose officials in the official rank of the official, and the standard of Lu Feng. That is to say, all officials are given the rank of the official first, and then the official is appointed to determine his ministry, and the salary of the official in the future will be based on the rank of the loose official, no matter what official he holds, his salary will be based on the standard of his dismissal. For their actual positions, it does not affect the level of income, but can only be given a certain corresponding ministry allowance depending on the importance of the actual job and the number of part-time jobs. ”

The system of dispersing officials began in the Han Dynasty, and originally referred to officials who had no seals and ribbons and did not serve the council, such as Han doctors, doctors, confessors, and lang officials, or participated in the discussion of political affairs without a full-time job, or served around and conveyed edicts. In addition, since the Han and Wei dynasties, the addition of officials and titles (such as Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Tejin, Shizhong, Guanglu Dafu, etc.) also became a major source of scattered officials in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. To the Northern Zhou Dynasty, imitate the system of "Zhou Li" to set up six mansions, change the name of the hundred officials, but since the Han and Wei dynasties, the servants, the scattered horses, the Guanglu doctors, the Taizhong doctors, the scattered doctors, etc. are still set up, but there is no actual position, among them, the servants are the palace, and the products are not written; The rest are from the bottom of the eight lives to the first life, and their order is determined in turn.

After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, the imperial court first had the scattered officials of the doctors from the second rank to the fourth grade, and then from the ninth rank to the sixth grade, the eight Lang Wei scattered officials.

Yi Feng is proposing it now, which is to turn this system of loose officials, which has developed for hundreds of years and is still somewhat chaotic, into a hierarchical official. In addition, he specifically proposed that the civilian officials should be divided into two categories: the civilian officials should have a special system of loose officials, and the military attachés should also have a special system of loose officials.

"The civil and military forces are divided into two sets of loose official systems, and the civil and military are separated. The military officer can also be used as a rank in the army, which is used to understand the upper and lower levels and help command. "The current loose officials of the imperial court are civil and military who share a set of systems, and there is still a lack of five products in the middle. Yi Feng wants to implement the dispersion of officials, and also came up with two sets of civil and military, one is to clarify the rank and level of officials, and try to avoid a large number of knights and lords in the imperial court, these lords and lords, their own positions may not be high, but the titles and honors they inherit are very high, if this is not standardized, then in the future, he will be in Youzhou Mansion, in addition to him, many of his subordinates may be difficult to command those subordinates who are low-ranking but heavy-honored.

Especially the military officer system, Yi Feng is ready to use it as a military rank, and if he implements this set of military ranks, it will be much more convenient to command military generals in the future. It is impossible for him to get knighthoods and honors for his subordinates, but if the Wusan rank can be implemented, then there will be officials and ranks, and each general will first set the Wusan rank. In this way, everyone has a corresponding rank according to their actual position. can greatly reduce the impact of knighthood.

"The rank of the commander is official, and the loose official is the official of the army. First, there are scattered officials to determine their ranks, and then the appointed officials to determine their positions. Yang Jian slowly tasted the meaning of Yi Feng's words, and finally, his eyes slowly bloomed with brilliance, and he slapped the table hard, "Okay!" ”

For a long time, due to various reasons, after the founding of the Sui Dynasty, it was burdened with a very heavy burden. That is, many noble officials of the Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and even many knighthoods and decorations during the Northern Wei Dynasty, were forced to recognize them after the founding of the Sui Dynasty. These noble titles inherited from several dynasties are not only a hidden danger to the Yang family in terms of politics, but also a huge expense in the burden of money and food in the imperial court. In particular, these knighthood lords are often extremely high in rank, which has a great impact on the officials appointed by the imperial court. And according to the historical system, these nobles of the previous dynasty. Their children and grandchildren can also inherit the shadow according to the titles and honors of their fathers, and they have formed a force that is difficult to fall and become bigger and bigger.

Now Yi Feng proposed this first step in reforming the bureaucratic system. It seems to be just a very simple reform involving the dispersion of officials, but it is a matter of pulling out thousands of dollars and cutting into the core part at once. Yang Jian has already seen it. The most powerful part of this scattered rank is the weakening of the influence of knights and lords. Even if it is carried out in this way. It is also a big improvement for the financial expenditure of the imperial court on knighthood and lordship. And if it is implemented according to this plan. That means that in the future, no matter how many positions the officials hold, in fact, they will be equivalent to receiving a salary, and at most they will only give some allowances for the positions they hold. According to what Yi Feng said, all his current official titles are a series of long names for the military marshals of the Northern Expedition East Road, such as the envoy of the special advancement, the envoy of the Jiejie, the Sikong of the State of Yongzhou, the king of Youzhou, the general manager of Youzhou, the assassin of Youzhou, and the marshal of the march on the East Road of the Northern Expedition.

His loose rank is the second grade of the special advancement, the commander is Shangzhu Guo, the title is King Zhao, and then the others are all officials. One person wears many positions, according to the current official system, every official position of Yifeng, whether it is a loose official or a professional official, has a corresponding salary, and the title has a food estate. With so many high-ranking officials and important positions, the amount that the imperial court has to pay is a large amount.

According to Yi Feng's reform method, Yi Feng's grade in the future will be calculated according to the special progress of the scattered officials, so in the future, his Yulu will be the second grade of the year, 700 stone millet, twice a year, in spring and autumn. In addition, there is a feudal food of King Zhao, which is just a fiefdom of Yulu. In addition, the rest of the various honorable officers and officials are only counted according to the second grade of the loose officials, and they only receive one copy of the number of positions. Of course, the imperial court will also give a part of the post allowance according to the actual and part-time positions held. This is just a subsidy, which is completely different from the original official Yulu. To put it bluntly, this is a disguised salary cut.

Yi Feng said as he handed Yang Jian a fold.

Yang Jian took it and opened it, but on it was the full set of names of the civil and military ranks that Yi Feng had already prepared. In general, the scattered officials are divided into two sets of civil and military systems, each of which is from the ninth rank to the first rank, a total of 32 levels. From nine to three grades, each grade is divided into four grades, while two grades and one product are only divided into positive subordinates.

The civil and scattered officials are eight lang, eight scholars, eight doctors, and eight secretaries, and the martial arts rank is eight lieutenants, eight schools, eight generals, and eight marshals.

Wensan Guan is a product of Guangluqing, then Rong Luqing, Jin Ziguang Luqing, Yinqing Guang Luqing, Tong Yiqing, Tong Fengqing, Zi Deqing, Senior Secretary and other eight secretaries, and then Zisan Doctor, Zi Yu Doctor, Chao Lie Doctor, Fengzheng Doctor, Feng Yi Doctor, Fengzhi Doctor, Fengxun Doctor and other eight doctors, and then Bachelor, Doctor, Master, Xiushi, Dashi, Sergeant, Corporal, Scribe and other eight scholars, and finally Xuanyi Lang, Xuande Lang, Chao Yu Lang, Chao San Lang, Cheng Shi Lang, Cheng Feng Lang, Ru Lin Lang, Wen Lin Lang Hachiro.

Wusanguan is also a new system, divided into eight marshals, eight generals, eight schools and eight lieutenants.

The eight marshals are the Hussar Marshal, the Auxiliary Marshal, the Town Army Marshal, the Champion Marshal, the Habayashi Marshal, the Jingo Marshal, the Shence Marshal, and the Kamui Marshal.

The eight generals are General Yunlu, General Shenwu, General Longwu, General Longxiang, General Zhongwu, General Zhuangwu, General Xuanwei, and General Mingwei.

The eight schools are Zhaowu School, Zhenwei School, Zhiguo School, Yiwei School, Xuanjie School, Yuhu School, Renyong School, and Companion School.

The eight lieutenants are the Wu Cavalry Captain, the Tun Cavalry Captain, the Xiao Cavalry Captain, the Ranger Cavalry Captain, the Flying Cavalry Lieutenant, the Brigade Cavalry Lieutenant, the Cloud Cavalry Lieutenant, and the Feather Cavalry Lieutenant.

There are two civil and military departments, each of which is four major ranks and thirty-two levels, the text is named after Lang Shi Dafuqing, and the military is named after the general of the Wei School, which is clearly distinguished, and the top and bottom are orderly. Especially for the military generals, Yi Feng asked Yang Jian to directly abolish the current miscellaneous generals of more than 40 ranks. Now the miscellaneous names of generals in the army, from the lowest level from the ninth rank to the highest rank of the sixth grade, are all generals, and everyone who looks at them is dizzy. In the army, how to distinguish between high and low? Yi Feng has now lowered the Wusan rank from the lowest from the ninth rank to the first rank, a total of thirty-two ranks, and has made a new set of Wusan officials, which are also used for military ranks. Thirty-two and four ranks, the captain and the general are handsome, simple and clear, but they are clearly hierarchical. (To be continued......)
