Speaking of which, this founding of the country was not a whim of Zhang Chao, but was brewing and preparing for a long time.

When he went on this expedition, Zhang Chao said to Guo Jia and Lu Su, who were left behind, that once they took Yongzhou and Liangzhou, they would be the biggest princes, and they would naturally have the conditions and foundation for building a country.

Because of these words, the two first-class advisors naturally made various preparations early, some necessary ceremonies, and some things and items that needed to be prepared in advance have also been being planned.

Now, after taking the Yongzhou and Liang prefectures as desired, all the conditions have been ripe, and naturally, the matter of founding the country will be on the table.

The family is preparing all the supplies and planning the ceremony, Zhang Chao is not idle, all the way back, he is rarely riding a white crane horse, but into a wide carriage, holding a pen and paper, is to think of something, write down.

The etiquette of some basic things naturally does not need Zhang Chao to prepare, he is about to become the master of a country, and what he grasps can only be a big thing. For example, the name of the founding of the country, such as the reward and positioning of the heroes, that is, the grade and so on.

Fortunately, Zhang Chao has already thought about the name of the country, and it is also a very domineering name - the Celestial Empire.

Heaven represented supremacy in ancient times, and Zhang Chao wanted to use this to show his uniqueness and that he was a person who obeyed the mandate of heaven.

The name of the country is the Celestial Empire, and his own title has been determined, so he is called the First Emperor of Heaven.

The First Emperor of Heaven is also very domineering, of course, such a title can only be used by Zhang Chao, indicating that the Celestial Empire began at this moment, and his dynasty will be passed on to all generations in the future.

The Han Dynasty had a famous monarch, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Zhang Chao was the first emperor of the heavens, which was also a way for him to keep up with the famous monarchs, but his achievements were destined to be far higher than the famous emperors in history, because he pursued much higher than others.

After thinking about the name and title of the founding of the country, the next thing Zhang Chao needs to consider is the identification of the rank of the hero, which is the most headache.

At the end of the Han Dynasty at that time, he still inherited the positions of prime minister, taiwei, and big sikong. Generals are also divided into former generals, rear generals, and so on.

It seems that the division is very careful, but Zhang Chao feels a little confused, and he decided to restructure it and change it to a seven-member official rank system.

The official is divided into seven grades, which also makes it possible to better divide the duties and powers of officials, so that some things are not chaotic. Of course, there is also a change in clothing.

Zhang Chao's pursuit is simplicity and clarity, so he decided to focus on the seven colors of the rainbow, which correspond to the seven ranks. And in order to allow officials and even some ordinary people to distinguish the power and status of officials, all officials wear official uniforms in seven colors.

For example, the seven colors are red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. That is, the first product corresponds to red, the second product corresponds to orange, the third product is yellow, and so on...

The requirement is that the dress of each official is relative to the various colors after grading, and the matching clothes must be worn when working.

In this way, in the future, you can recognize your official position by looking at your clothes, and you will be able to recognize the size of your authority.

Of course, there are more detailed divisions, such as the difference between civilian officials and military attachés. Civil officials require the color of their hats and clothes; The military attaché was required to have the color on the cloak to match the rank.

And once it is winter, all official positions must be issued with a coat coat, so that it is warm and beautiful, and at the same time, people can see how his position is from the clothing.

This is Zhang Chao's decision to restructure, whether it is to divide the officials into seven grades, or a complete change in clothing, it shows that he is different from his predecessors, and this opinion has long been sent to Guo Jia and Lu Su, and they basically agreed. Now it's just a matter of making the final confirmation of what the official uniform looks like.

There is no impermeable strength in the world, and there are few secrets that can be kept.

Zhang Chao is about to establish a country, and he has decided to seal the official, and after the news spread, it attracted a burst of speculation.

This question involves almost all people, and they are thinking about what position they will be in it, what kind of rank they may be given, whether they will be satisfied or dissatisfied, and so on.

Zhang Chao can naturally guess what everyone thinks, when things are related to personal interests, if one is not handled well, it is likely that there will be chaos, for this reason, who is the official is the most headache for him.

In this regard, Zhang Chao's strategy and method is to set the rank of officials with a quick knife to cut through the chaos. He knows very well that things like this cannot be trusted, and the longer the time is held, the more troublesome things will be, and the more chaos may be caused.

To this end, Zhang Chao first sent an order to the Tianyan organization, asking them to send a large number of people to keep an eye on some high-ranking people, including some army commanders, some military divisions, and some division commanders with outstanding military achievements.

As for the lower level, Zhang Chao didn't have the energy to pay attention, and he also believed that as long as there was no problem at the top, even if the people below had some complaints, they could be suppressed.

Sending people to keep an eye on the people in high positions of authority is only the first step, and the second step is to set their ranks a little faster. Fortunately, Zhang Chao also had such an idea for a long time, and it is not so difficult to deal with it now.

Therefore, when Zhang Chao returned to Bingzhou with the army, he quickly found Guo Jia and Lu Su, and at the same time took out the final results of the official positions he gave to the officials.

Guo Jia and Lu Su knew that this was the lord asking for their opinions, perhaps just to greet them, so they read the official position recognition report with a very respectful and cautious attitude.

To say that this report is not long, not even a thousand words, and the identification of some officials in it is indeed very clearly recorded.

The two wise men who had followed Zhang Chao for many years, just looked at the beginning, and then both knelt down at the same time, "The lord can't." ”

"Okay, you know what you mean, keep watching, and when you're done, you're talking about opinions." Zhang Chao did flick his hand preparedly, and then said casually.

This time, Zhang Chao did not let people greet him when he entered the city, and after entering the city, he didn't even return to the General's Mansion, and went directly to the City Lord's Mansion in Bingzhou, in order to settle the matter as soon as possible.

Zhang Chao is a man, not a god. He also has seven emotions and six desires, and he also has friends and relatives.

Once these people come to him and ask for something, he can't refuse. And if the charter could be taken out in advance, then everything would be different, at least he would have a reason to say something to those who intercede.

What Zhang Chao wants is to end everything quickly, and when everyone reacts and is ready to start using the network, everything is settled, so that some people's mouths can be sealed, and it is also a change of direction to tell some people, accept fate, don't think about using other means.

Guo Jia and Lu Su are so smart that they naturally know the truth in this, so after getting Zhang Chao's hint, they immediately read the thousand-word reward book carefully.

It's just a pillar of incense, and the two of them finished reading it, and then after glancing at Zhang Chao, the two knelt down again and said: "Lord, everything is fine, it's a matter of sealing the two of us as a product, is it asking the lord to think about it." ”

"There's no need to think about it, this time I just chose the two of you as one product among the civil officials, which is a kind of trust, I hope you don't live up to the trust." Zhang Chao looked at the two ministers who seemed to be about to resign, and smiled with satisfaction.

The reason why Guo Jia and Lu Su knelt down and said that it was impossible was because the names of the two were written in the first column of the reward book, and these two people were still among the first-class officials.

The official residence is second only to him in Zhang Chao's kingdom, not to mention that there are only four people in the first grade, so it is no wonder that these two people have a flattered performance.

And the reason why Zhang Chao made this decision is that he doesn't want too many high-ranking officials, if there are too many first-class officials, it is possible to divide power, and it will also lead to infighting. After all, there are too many first-class officials, so who is the strongest and biggest among them? There has to be a high and low.

It's okay to say that the time is shorter, but if it is a long time, what kind of problems will be caused, Zhang Chao can't predict.

For this reason, Zhang Chao only set four people among the first-class officials, and the Wenchen are Guo Jia and Lu Su; The military generals are Lu Bu and Zhao Yun.

Just four people are selected, which can make their power not only maximized, but also manage a lot of things, so that everyone has a big mess, then there is no need to quarrel, and the strength of the two words can be maximized.

Following the identification of the four first-class officials, the other corps commanders and legion divisions are all second-rank. In addition, it also includes Tian Feng, the president of the court, and others.

Among the officials of the three grades, Wenchen includes the governors of various states; Among the military officers were the deputy commanders of each corps and the commanders of the divisions.

Among the four rank officers is the position of the deputy division commanders of the major counties and legions.

The five-rank official is the position of the commander of each small county and the regimental commander.

The Liupin official is the deputy head of the county commanders and the regiments of the major counties.

The Qipin official is the position of the battalion commander of each regiment in each small county and county order.
