In addition to adding officials to hundreds of civil and military officials, Zheng Kezhang also issued a crucial edict, which is about the "Meritorious People Tax Exemption Law" on the foundation of the rule of the Chinese Dynasty. The so-called meritorious people, in a general sense, refers to the officers and soldiers who served in the Xia army, and later extended to include officials who served in the Xia Dynasty government for 20 years.
According to this law, all the officials and people of the Xia Dynasty who had the status of meritorious people had a certain amount of tax exemption when they were alive, and were exempt from paying all taxes except commercial tax and transaction deed tax.
The so-called "certain amount" is naturally different, because in a sense, the founding lord is an extension of the meritorious qualifications, so from the meritorious people to the founding marquis, there are a total of six tax-free ranges, the highest founding marquis can be exempted from land within 1,200 mu, and ordinary meritorious people can also be exempted from the tax amount of up to 150 mu of land.
It is precisely because the qualification of meritorious people involves economic interests that the status of meritorious people and dignitaries cannot be inherited or gifted, which is not only to ensure the financial revenue of the Chinese Dynasty, but also to ensure the quantity and quality of the army of the Xia Dynasty, but also to prevent the sons of the family from lying on the merits of their predecessors and becoming the children of the country and the silverfish.
In the same way, the succession of the princes of the Chinese Dynasty also followed this system. At all levels, only the princes recognized by the Ministry of Imperial Court and Rites and have meritorious qualifications can inherit the titles left by the previous generation, and the rest of the sons, regardless of their concubines, can only obtain the title of Cloud Rider Captain who proves their status as noble children. This cloud cavalry captain is neither a loose official nor a knighthood, at most it is just a kind of identity certificate, and it can only be retained for one generation, which forces these children of the family to obtain a future through their own efforts.
Of course, the royal family always has to open up the net, so except for the prince who can inherit the title, the rest will be demoted to the third rank and awarded the knighthood, until they fall out of the county man, they will be demoted to the status of a minister. According to this system, it takes four generations to descend from a hereditary prince to a vassal, and it only takes three generations for a hereditary county duke or hereditary county duke who is far away from the imperial family to become a vassal, which can greatly reduce the number of clans and reduce the financial pressure on the national and internal treasury.
In addition to controlling the number of titles and the level of titles, Zheng Kezhang also deliberately controlled the number of fields given to him.
Since the land is a hereditary territory and does not pay any taxes, the "Jue Law" promulgated by Zheng Kezhang stipulates that the upper limit of the national public grant of land equivalent to the first grade is 1,800 jia of fields and mountains and forests, which is equivalent to the upper limit of 1,600 jia of the county of the first grade, the upper limit of the county of the second grade is 1,500 jia, which is equivalent to the upper limit of the county marquis of the second grade is 1,200 jia, the upper limit of the county marquis of the third grade is only 1,000 jia, the county of the third grade is 800 jia, the fourth county is 500 jia, and the county son of the fourth grade is only 300 jia. The maximum number of sons in Wupin County is 200 Jia, and the male field from Wupin County is below 100 Jia.
Due to the long-term financial tension of the Huaxia Dynasty, in order to ensure the healthy operation of the central finances, the "Jue Law" also stipulates that if the land is granted, it will not be given another Juelu, so only the prince and the prince who cannot be hereditary will be given an additional 800 guan and 500 guan monthly salaries to show the difference. Similarly, because the lord also gives tax exemption space, there are only the highest two levels of the founding prince and the founding county duke, which have an additional monthly allowance of 100 and 80 yuan.
Due to the short algebra of the Chinese Dynasty's clan and the fall of the vassals, Zheng Kezhang did not object to the clan's business, politics and service in the Xia army, although it was opposed by many important ministers, but Zheng Kezhang believed that the clan's business was forbidden and endless, and it was unlikely that another Li Linfu would appear in politics under the current stage of cabinet decentralization, as for the current system of the Xia army, it was extremely advanced and perfect in this era, which basically ruled out the possibility of the clan seizing military power and then seizing the throne, not to mention that there was also a sect king in the north to lead the army, Why didn't you see the other party appear to plot the usurpation of the throne, so I didn't say a word****??
After promulgating the "Meritorious People Tax Exemption Law" and the "Jue Law", Zheng Kezhang ordered the adjustment of the military rank of the Xia army.
Zheng Jun was originally divided into five ranks: general, captain, cavalry lieutenant, lieutenant, and lieutenant, but this time it was changed to general, lieutenant, lieutenant, lieutenant, and military envoy. Among them, the general is a first-class and two-order general from the fourth rank, which is specifically divided into a first-rank general, a second-rank general, a second-rank general, and a second-rank deputy general. Because Zheng Kezhang was the general of the Ming Dynasty before, the general of Zhengyipin was set up, and then he was once renamed marshal, and then changed back to the general, and the Huaxia Dynasty never awarded.
Since the general is only a fictitious title, the general has become the highest military rank in the Chinese Dynasty, and like the general and deputy general, it can be crowned with various titles in front of the name, such as the champion general, the general of the chariot and so on.
The first rank of the lieutenant is also divided into two ranks, but for the purpose of concise and easy-to-understand military Chinese, Zheng Kezang simply designated him as the first-class lieutenant of the third rank, the second-class lieutenant of the third rank, the third-class lieutenant of the fourth rank, and the captain of the fourth rank and the rank below the rank of the lieutenant no longer have titles in front of the title.
The school lieutenant is also divided into the first lieutenant of the fifth grade, the second lieutenant of the fifth grade, the third lieutenant of the sixth grade, and the captain of the sixth grade.
The lieutenant is also divided into the first lieutenant of the seventh rank, the second lieutenant of the seventh rank, the third lieutenant of the eighth grade, and the second lieutenant of the eighth rank.
The military envoys are divided into the first-class military envoys of the ninth grade, the second-class military envoys of the ninth grade, the third-class military envoys of the first class and the second-class military envoys of the Liuwai. Compared with the military rank of Taixi that is being formed, the military envoy is equivalent to a sergeant, the lieutenant is equivalent to a warrant officer, the lieutenant is equivalent to a lieutenant, and the lieutenant is equivalent to a colonel. As for the military envoys, they are also divided into three categories: regular soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, and nurturing soldiers.
Judging from the current establishment of divisions, brigades, regiments, sentinels, teams, and squads in the Xia Army, squad leaders are usually first-class or second-class military envoys, the leading officers are usually third-class lieutenants or second-class lieutenants, the sentry commanders are always first-class or second-class lieutenants, the regimental commanders are always second-class captains, the brigade divisions are assigned to guard the Que, and the division system is the first-class lieutenants.
The first-class lieutenant is the third grade, and the previous division system is from the second grade, which seems to be one order lower than before, but compared with the local official rank, it can be seen that the reduction of the rank is not for the military alone, for example, the governor of a province is also from the original second grade, the third grade can be officially determined to be the third grade, Wuchang Mansion Yin and Chengtian Mansion Yin are also determined to be from the third grade, the remaining four products, the ordinary prefect and the prefecture are from the fourth grade and the fifth grade, the two Beijing and part of the left-behind prefecture from the fifth grade, and the ordinary county is the sixth grade****??
Except for some changes in rank, the Huaxia Dynasty basically followed the Qing Dynasty provincial system, but the Ming Dynasty system was retained, and the "some" province was called "somewhere" place. At present, there are 21 provinces and sub-provincial-level administrative regions in the Huaxia Dynasty, of which the four left-behind prefectures such as Qiongzhou, Chaozhou, Taiping, and Jingzhou are regarded as sub-provincial-level administrative regions, and there are 15 other provinces, namely: Jianghuai, Jiangnan, Hubei, Jiangxi, western Zhejiang, eastern Zhejiang, Fujian, southern Jiangnan, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guangnan, Guizhou, Yunnan and Xuyong.
