Chapter 47: Winter Thunder

17th year, October 16th.

Yesterday night, a small winter rain fell.

To this day, it is still raining.

In Shuzhong, Lin Zhengyang, who was sitting in the center, drank tea and relaxed in a side hall.

In addition to the precious imperial tea of the former court, there is a large number of twists and turns.

At this time, a pale young man and a middle-aged civil official with an old and serious attitude walked into the hall.

"Your Majesty, the rewards for the officials killed in the battle in Shuzhong and the army have been drawn up."

The boy handed over a thick list.

"Well, it's Zhou Zhu········ Sit down, sit down! ”

Lin Zhengyang's eyes lit up, and he kindly took his hand and pressed it on the soft collapse covered with bear skin.

This week, Zhu was born in the hidden door, and the auxiliary star entered the fate, and since he was a child, he followed the learned erudite in the hidden door to learn a practical political technique, and was the most important strategist when Li Chengye, the king of Shu, rose up.

Over the years, he has become more and more capable, and every time he participates in political affairs, he will not be able to.

It's a pity that he has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he has died early········

Regarding this, Lin Zhengyang sneered at it in private.

The so-called frail and sick since childhood, except for a small number of real foundation problems, the others are caused by human factors.

Yinmen took this son away since he was a child, and did not teach Taoism, but only taught the knowledge of entering the WTO, and his thoughts were known without asking······· How did this theory of infirmity and sickness come about.

In short, he was not happy that such a handy adviser would have a short life.

During this period of time, he often used the example of Zhuge Wuhou to advise him.

"You are weak and can't work for a long time, these troublesome things can be handed over to your subordinates to do, as long as you take care of them at the end."

"At this point, you can't learn from the princes and marquis········ He is willing to do everything, for fear that others will not do well, and in the end he will die of illness and overwork! ”

Zhou Zhu's heart warmed, and he smiled:

"Lai Wang went to Hongfu, and found a famous doctor for his ministers, Mr. Zhang Daozhen, who has now used three pieces of medicine, and has gradually recovered."

"Well, Your Majesty, as for rewarding the title, is it in accordance with the Great Yan title system of the previous dynasty, or is it modified separately?"

After the Shu army came out of Shu, it was like a bamboo, and it went down to four states, during which it experienced hundreds of battles of all sizes, and there were no less than 20,000 dead and wounded.

While some veterans are able to rejoin after recovering from their injuries, most are actually leaving the army permanently.

This part of the people also needs to be taken care of in the reward.

"Hmmm······"

Lin Zhengyang groaned slightly, and then said:

"Titles, from top to bottom, are still the first rank of the marquis, the second rank of the uncle, the third rank of the son, the fourth rank of the male and the fifth grade, each with a title field, a shade tax exemption Ding household, a book of Dan iron coupons, hereditary replacement, except for rebellion, incest and other heinous crimes, no one shall infringe!"

"This is the old system of Dayan, and I mean, the hereditary line has to be given a time limit."

Zhou Zhuqi said:

"If it's hereditary, where is the deadline?"

"The so-called gentleman's Ze five generations and beheaded, the predecessor Yu Ze, can be passed on to the five generations, it is already commendable, in order to avoid raising a group of people who don't eat minced meat, this king thinks, it is better to set a deadline!"

"Besides, there are too many hereditary titles, and the country will not be too burdened to support them in the future!"

"Yes, if the title is hereditary for three generations, it will be reduced by two and so on····· Generally speaking, if the duke of the country is not worthy of his descendants and has not made meritorious deeds, he will be removed from the title for five generations. ”

"Five generations, there are a lot, how can there be two hundred years of wealth before and after, and how many years is the fortune of the country? If it is a duke, it can be regarded as a retirement with the country, and it is not a harsh treatment, and in the last years of the dynasty, I can't afford to raise too many titles anyway, but it is better for my ancestor to save future generations some trouble. ”

Zhou Zhu thought for a moment, nodded and said:

"What the king said is reasonable, all dynasties and dynasties can have a hundred years of national fortune, even if they do not die young, two hundred years of national fortune is already considered a long time, and only a few dynasties have more than 300 years of national fortune."

"Well, this is a knighthood, in addition to the title, there is a knighthood, and it is not hereditary."

"The Shijue is only awarded to me, and it is divided into three classes: county, county, and state."

"It can only be conferred if the person has made a great meritorious service, or if he has given special favors, mainly for the purpose of being exempt from servitude and honoring meritorious servants."

"The nine grades of the county judges, the eight grades of the county judges, and the seven grades of the national scholars, all give fields and shade the descendants from servitude."

"In addition to honoring the ministers, it can also motivate civil officials."

"The civil and military titles have been said, and there is also the resettlement of veterans who have retired from the battlefield·······"

Frowning, Lin Zhengyang took a sip of tea and said slowly:

"I remember that the newly pacified states were a little unstable······ In this way, these veterans, who themselves have the position of fire chief in the army, are given the rank of village chief in the village, or they are in charge of the township, and they are also given official status. ”

"There's only a part of it, and there's more, I mean······· Formation of new battalions to remove the right of each army to recruit supplementary soldiers on its own. ”

"In the recruit camp, these veterans who have retired from the battlefield are the instructors and train the recruits until the expiration of the period, and then they will be supplemented to the various armies according to the corresponding quota."

"In this way, we can also place some veterans."

Zhou Zhu was shocked in his heart, and then realized instantly.

This is to re-gather military power······ It is quite a clever move to remove the right of each army to recruit new recruits on its own, but to supplement them from the new barracks.

"In addition, some retired generals in the army can also give full play to their residual heat!"

With a faint smile on his face, Lin Zhengyang paced, holding his hands behind his back, and continued:

"Outside the new barracks, there is a martial arts hall that specializes in training officers."

"Any officer of the first rank of the battalion, before taking up his post, must first study in the lecture hall, read and read, learn arithmetic, at least the woman must understand the military order and official documents, and count the arithmetic········· Of course, there are more courses to be advanced in the future, such as the practice of the art of war and so on! ”

The more Zhou Zhu listened, the brighter his eyes became.

This step is also extremely ingenious.

It avoids the fact that some officers have long been in a certain army, their prestige is too high, and they privatize the army, but on the surface, they make people unable to say anything wrong.

Since he has studied in the martial arts hall, he will naturally be transferred to another place when he comes out, so that he can very likely reduce the imprint of a certain general in the army, so as not to lose his tail.

"As soon as this system comes out, when it can suppress the rebellious anger of the tooth general, it will not be able to achieve much effect for a while."

"Indeed."

Lin Zhengyang said.

"But we have time."

"At present, the annexation of the four states, although there have been several Enke in the past and a group of civil officials have been gathered, but it is very tense when it is laid, and it will take time to digest and consolidate the territory, and this period of time is the time to lay a solid foundation."

"Taking this opportunity, some things were done early, saving all kinds of trouble in the future."

"What the king said is a good policy to consolidate the foundation and cultivate the yuan, and within a year, these four states will be stable······"

Zhou Zhu praised with a smile.

While he was talking, the sound of wind and thunder came from outside the hall, roaring.

Lin Zhengyang turned his head in a hurry, looked outside the hall, and saw a blue-white electric light flashing.

The thunder in the air, rolling in, is exactly a winter thunder has arrived.
