Chapter 73: The Nine-Rank System

"Boom!"

Xu Shu's heart trembled, and there was no hesitation.

"Meet the lord!" Xu Shu hugged the sword and knelt down and said: "From now on, I am willing to be the sword in the hands of the prince and the law of heaven and earth!" ”

"Hahahaha, hurry up!" Lu Bu was excited. Finally, I finally got Xu Shu in a special way.

Lu Bu couldn't help but be grateful. Thanks to Li Bai, if it weren't for this chivalrous journey, how could he move Xu Shu's mood so easily.

Now that Xu Shu has been put into effect, it is not in vain that Lu Bu has designed it for so long.

A few days later, Lu Bu sacrificed to heaven and became king.

Although the palace has not yet been built, the ceremony cannot be slowed down.

Because Lu Bu wants to open a government and establish a system, he wants to be a big vassal.

And seeing the hundred officials kneeling down, Lu Bu was also arrogant.

He wants to be in power, in supreme power.

It is in response to that historical saying.

Drunk and lying on the knees of beauty, awake to the power of the world.

After the ceremony, everyone gathered in the main hall again and began to canonize the vassals.

Lu Bu sealed Chen Gong as the prime minister of Zuo, in charge of various civil affairs matters.

Pang Tong is the right prime minister, and in addition to being in charge of some civil affairs, he also has military and diplomatic powers.

In other words, when Lü Bu was not in the court, Pang Tong was able to exercise diplomatic rights on his behalf. In some less important diplomacy in peacetime, Pang Tong can also make full decisions.

At the same time, Lu Bu set up six departments to take charge of various matters. It is the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of War in history.

The main position is Shangshu, and the deputy position is Shilang.

The secretary of the criminal department is served by Xu Shu.

The secretary of the ministry and the household department are temporarily led by Chen Gong.

The secretary of the Ministry of Industry was held by Chen Deng.

The secretary of the Ministry of Rites was served by Qiao Xuan.

The military department is temporarily headed by Pang Tong.

In addition, Lu Bu combined the official positions of various dynasties and the official positions of later generations, and added thousands of official positions, large and small.

It is equivalent to decentralizing and refining some official positions in the Han Dynasty.

All important official positions are divided into nine ranks, from high to low, from one to nine.

The grade system is not only the embodiment of the size of the official rank, but also the standard for the distribution of salaries.

And the amount given by Lü Bu was five to ten times that of the Han Dynasty. Because of this, none of the ministers opposed the various official positions formulated by Lu Bu and supported them one after another.

Yes, Lu Bu's nine-grade system is only borrowed from the division of official positions in the Ming and Qing dynasties, not the nine-grade Zhongzheng system of the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Next, Lü Bu had to purge the rule of officials, and then formulate a new law for selecting officials.

The imperial examination system may be used for a while, and then transition to the civil service system of later generations.

Now to mention the people's servants, it is definitely looking for death.

Those who are officials are to be superior to others.

And Lu Bu raised the rank of officials to rectify corruption as much as possible.

In figurative terms, it is a high salary and low income.

If you become an official, the whole family can have no worries about food and clothing, and if you are so greedy, you will be killed.

Even if you don't die, you will end up with nothing, and the bamboo basket will be empty.

When Lu Bu made the official positions public to the world and openly recruited talents, the world shook.

Cao Cao was silent, Sun Quan was silent, and Liu Biao was silent.

Lu Bu's various official positions and powers are detailed, comprehensive, and effective, and he can be called a peerless talent.

After the tremor, all the candidates reacted.

This is to immediately intercept the checkpoint and not give the scholars to go to Xuzhou to seek officials.

At the same time, they also restructured one after another, drawing on Lu Bu's official position to re-establish official positions.

Of course, Yu Lu has also improved a little accordingly to reassure the people.

But to be promoted several times like Lu Bu, it is simply impossible.

No one is so wealthy!

You must know that most of the money is in the hands of the nobles and the powerful.

You can't use it if you want to, people don't support you, and you can't even control the political power.

The money of the princes, except for the money of war, could only be collected from taxes from the common people.

But now that ordinary people are almost all poor, how much tax can they collect in a year?

It's tearful thinking about it.

As a result of squeezing the people, the economy cannot develop at all.

On the other hand, Lu Bu earns a lot of money from various products.

It is equivalent to earning all the money of the world's families.

Yes, although the money is in the hands of the families, it is impossible for the families to keep the money in the coffin.

What do people live for, but not just for enjoyment.

They want to eat well, dress well, and play well.

And Lu Bu's various products just meet their needs.

Because of this, Lu Bu was able to obtain a lot of money.

And with the failure of the five-party alliance to attack Lü, many families, especially those in the north, have deposited their money in the Bank of Xuzhou.

Because they found that depositing money in Xuzhou Bank, it is quite insurance.

It can be said that the current Lu Bu is simply rich.

Therefore, if people have money, they can be as willful as they want.

It was precisely because of this that now all the candidates began to vigorously trade with Lu Bu.

Because they found that trading with Lu Bu began to increase the treasury funds.

For example, Jiangdong, just coarse salt and tea, made a lot of money for Sun Quan.

And it's a long-term project, not a short-term trade.

It can be said that these two deals alone are enough for him to feed an army of 200,000.

Of course, there is no military pay. With a high military salary like Lu Bu, Sun Quan can't do it.

So now, except for Cao Cao's attack on Yuan, the south has stopped the war, and they are all developing with peace of mind, strengthening the country and enriching the people.

Of course, the internal struggle for power has not stopped.

Now under Liu Biao's command, there are still all kinds of open and secret battles.

But without the war, Jingzhou could be regarded as slowly getting rich.

It can be said that Lu Bu used his industry and commerce to make the Han Dynasty finally have a trace of improvement.

Shinong Industry and Commerce was the most unpopular merchant and business in the Han Dynasty, so that the Han Dynasty did not continue to decline.

It's just that I'm just a little angry. If you want to stop the war, Lu Bu can't do it at present.

As long as there are people who want to fight for power, the war will never end.

War is also an opportunity for many people to achieve fame.

These people will not let the war end easily.

In Jingzhou, when Zhuge Liang saw the latest issue of the newspaper, he fell silent.

His heart was unwilling.

He thinks that his talent is no worse than Pang Tong and Xu Shu. However, now, one person is the right prime minister and is in charge of military and political power. One person is the secretary of the criminal department and holds the judicial power in the world.

Look at yourself again, there is no achievement, not even fame.

This is like three good friends at the same level and from the same starting point. The other two are soaring, but they are still slings, how can this psychology be balanced.

This kind of jealousy is often more powerful than anything else.

Therefore, after Zhuge Liang was unwilling, he also wanted to become a leader.

Yes, the existence of Lu Bu changed the trajectory of history, making Zhuge Liang go out of the mountain six years ahead of schedule.

Because in the original history, before Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, Pang Tong and Xu Shu did not have much fame and achievements.

But now it's different, Pang Tong and Xu Shu are both coaxing, where can Zhuge Liang endure it.

Since you have decided to go out, it is natural to choose a good monarch.

Looking at all the candidates, the best choice, the monarch who can show his talent the most, is naturally Lu Bu.

However, Zhuge Liang once rejected Lu Bu, so Zhuge Liang had to give up.

After looking at all the candidates, Zhuge Liang finally chose Liu Bei.

The reason is very simple, Liu Bei is the most down-and-out and the worst.

Moreover, Liu Bei is a relative of the Han family, which is orthodox. Regardless of whether this is true or not, with this name, it is easy to achieve great things.

As long as he joins Liu Bei Group, then he is definitely in power. Moreover, it can also reflect its own value.

Although he chose Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang is no one. took the initiative to vote, Liu Bei definitely didn't pay much attention to it.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang racked his brains to think of a way to attract Liu Bei to take the initiative to visit him.

Zhuge Liang thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a good idea.
