Moreover, from Zhang Jiashi's business-oriented point of view, Zhang Jiashi will also guide many preferential treatments to the commercial category, such as commercial tax incentives with relatively greater benefits.

To be honest, Zhang Jiashi still doesn't know what kind of effect his reform plan will have, but for him, some things are better to plan ahead.

In many cases, the Great Qin Empire's military merit title system did not cause too many problems, because the Great Qin Empire itself was not a country that relied on the feudal system to determine the basis of its rule.

Compared with the various magnates in the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty led to a relatively large number of rebellions and rebellions of the imperial family in the early stage, and the county system and military merit system of the Great Qin Empire may not have too obvious drawbacks due to the short reign time. But in any case, Zhang Jiashi, who traveled through later generations, still believes that this system is inevitable to be revised from the point of view of his position in the past few years.

Although this kind of correction is not necessarily better than the current system, it is also not likely to be worse than the Great Qin Empire's own military merit title system.

......

Although Zhang Jiashi does not like the family family, because although the family family at this time is not as powerful as the Tang Dynasty family before the Anshi Rebellion, it is not even comparable to the Runan Yuan family of the fourth and third princes. But it has to be said that Zhang Jiashi, as the leader of an emerging political force, naturally does not want his vested rights and interests to be threatened by others.

The large families of the Tang Dynasty mainly had the largest number of surnames: Hedong Pei, Zhaojun Li, Jingzhao Wei, Lanling Xiao, Boling Cui, Longxi Li, Zongjia Li, Qinghe Cui, Hongnong Yang, and Xingyang Zheng.

These families, in addition to the Li family, are also quite influential in the Tang Dynasty.

For example, the Lanling Xiao clan was also a real family before Wu Zetian ascended the throne and became emperor, and its daughter was Concubine Xiao Shu, one of the original partners of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi.

can also be used as an example, which is also Li Zhi's original wife, Queen Wang.

Empress Wang's surname is unknown, and she was born and died on November 27, 628-655. She was born in Taiyuan Wang, and was the granddaughter of Wang Sizheng, the left servant of the Yuan Wei Shangshu, Wang Sizheng, her father was Luo Shanling Wang Ren, her mother was the wife of Wei Liu, and her uncle and grandmother were Tang Gaozu Li Yuan's sister Tong'an Princess (her husband was Wang Sizheng's brother Wang Yu), one of the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Fangyi, was the grandson of Princess Tong'an; Later, Wu Zetian was deposed as a concubine because he was made the queen. In the end, she and Xiao Shufei were beaten by Wu Zetian with a hundred boards, and they were beaten to the point that their skin was open, and then their hands and feet were cut off and put into the wine vat, and soon after, the two died.

(Concubine Xiao Shufei (?-November 27, 655), the concubine of Li Zhi of Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, the Xiao clan of Lanling of the Southern Dynasty scholars, a descendant of the royal family of Qiliang, gave birth to King Xu Li Sujie, Princess Yiyang, and Princess Gao'an. When Gaozong Li Zhi was the crown prince, Xiao was Liangdi. After Tang Gaozong ascended the throne, he was promoted to concubine and favored the harem. Later, he failed in the court struggle with Wu Zetian, was deposed as a concubine, imprisoned in a dark room, cut off his hands and feet by Wu Zetian, soaked in a wine vat, and was finally tortured to death. )

There are many such examples, and from the middle and late Western Han Dynasty, there were things in the Chinese Dynasty where relatives began to focus on influencing the government.

Of course, this kind of thing can be traced back to the earliest of the Lin Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Xuan, the mother of King Zhao of Qin during the Warring States Period.

In 306 BC, the seventeen-year-old King Zhao of Qin succeeded to the throne, and his mother, Empress Dowager Xuan, began a 41-year regency career in the name of her son's young age, and thus opened the precedent for the harem to participate in politics. In the past 40 years, Empress Dowager Xuan has always been the de facto supreme ruler of the Qin State, forming a situation in which the Qin State only knows that "there are Queen Mother, Marquis, Gaoling, Huayang, and Jingyang, but they do not hear that they have kings". King Zhao could not tolerate the long-term dictatorship of the queen mother. In the end, he listened to Fan Ju's suggestion, took back all the power, drove the "four nobles" outside the pass, and reappointed Fan Ju as the prime minister, which completely ended the situation that the Empress Dowager Xuan had been controlling the Qin dynasty for a long time.

At the same time as this situation, the situation of the dictatorship of foreign relatives also began to develop vigorously, "there is the queen mother, the marquis, Gaoling, Huayang, Jingyang, and I don't hear that there is a king" The marquis in the sentence is Wei Ran, the uncle of King Qin Zhaoxiang.

The curtain to listen to the government and the dynasty system is different meaning: in ancient times, the harem could not go to the hall, so the concubine to take power must be "in the court", from Qin Shi Huang onwards, the emperor's orders are called "system", and the official documents are called "edict"; after the concubine takes power, her orders will naturally rise to the level of the emperor, so it is called "weighing the system".

Another example of this situation is that as the third person in Chinese history to be in charge of the dynasty, the queen of the Qi state.

In 265 BC, King Xiang of Qi died, and Tian Jian, the son of the queen, succeeded to the throne, known as King Jian of Qi in history. After Qi Wangjian succeeded to the throne, he respected the queen as the queen mother. The queen was virtuous, cautious in dealing with the Qin state, and honest with the princes, so the king of Qi reigned for more than 40 years, and the Qi state was not subject to war. In 249 BC, the queen died.

During the reign of the queen, the problem of relatives was not serious, and it was not until after the queen's illness and death that Tian Jian, the king of Qi, relied on the queen's younger brother, his uncle Housheng.

In addition to these famous women, such as the filial piety of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, Empress Wang Zhengjun and her family, and the Empress Zhang Dedou of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, and her family Dou family. All of them developed from the status of foreign relatives to the hereditary system of powerful ministers.

(In the second year of the establishment (77), Dou and his sister entered the palace at the same time.) In the first three years of construction (78 years), she was made queen. The Dou family is fortunate to be special and monopolizes the love of the harem. In the second year of Zhanghe (88), Emperor Zhang of Han died, and Emperor Liu Zhao of Han He ascended the throne, respecting Dou as the empress dowager, and being regent of Dou's Linchao. In the ninth year of Yongyuan (97), Dou died, and Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty was buried in Jingling, and was called Empress Zhangde. )

Among them, Liang Ji, whose sister is the empress of Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, is the pinnacle embodiment of the two Han Dynasty's relatives and ministers.

Liang Ji was originally a waiter in the Yellow Gate, and then a general in the middle and a tiger in the middle, a captain of the Yue cavalry and an infantry captain, and held Jinwu. In the first year of Yonghe (136), he worshiped Henan Yin, and was brutal and reckless during his tenure. After his father Liang Shang died of illness, he worshiped the general and attacked the marquis of the clan. Emperor Shun collapsed, Emperor Li Chong, and Taiwei Li Gu and others recorded Shangshu. Emperor Chong collapsed, Emperor Liqi. Because Emperor Qin called Liang Ji "General Bahu" in person, he was poisoned by him the following year, and Emperor Huan was established separately.

After that, he became more specialized in court politics, formed parties for personal gain, cronyism, and wantonly gave officials to relatives. There were seven marquis before and after the Liang family, three queens, six nobles, two generals, seven women who owned food and were called kings, three who married princesses, and the rest of the 57 people who were appointed as kings, generals, Yin, and schools.

In the second year of Yanxi (159), Emperor Huan of Han, who had long been dissatisfied with Liang Ji's autocratic and chaotic government, killed Liang Ji with the power of eunuchs Shan Chao, Xu Huang, Gu Yuan, Zuo, and Tang Heng, and the whole clan was killed together.

It can be said that the problem of eunuchs in the late Eastern Han Dynasty is more of a method adopted by the emperor in order to counter the increasingly large power of relatives of the family, perhaps, whether it is Emperor Liu Zhi of the Han Dynasty or Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, they are very aware of the problem of eunuchs, but compared to the authority of their relatives, the eunuchs make them feel that they can be trusted.

......

Zhang Jiashi did not want his descendants to encounter these situations, so he hoped that the method he could adopt was to select a woman from a good family with a small official to serve as the empress, similar to the emperor of the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

He didn't want to get too involved in Ying's emotional world, so this kind of thinking was actually more of an occasional trade-off for Zhang Jiashi himself. And more than ten years later, Zhang Jiashi recognized the Qinghe Dou woman who was born in a commoner, because this woman had no power, and Ying's marriage problem could not be delayed for too long.

Therefore, the Dou girl later became the first empress of the Great Qin Empire, in fact, it was more of Zhang Jiashi's acquiescence.

Because if Zhang Jiashi did not agree with the queen status of the Dou woman, Ying would at most make her a concubine, rather than canonized as the imperial queen directly after the wedding.

In the historical records of later generations, the first Empress of the Great Qin Empire, Dou Shi, her name is Dou Yifang, which is actually the name given by Zhang Jiashi.

In the history of Zhang Jiashi's original world, Dou Ji entered the palace as a son of the family to serve the Empress Dowager Lu when Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, and was later given to Liu Heng, the acting king. After Liu Heng ascended the throne, Dou Ji was made empress. After Emperor Jing ascended the throne, he respected her as the empress dowager. In the first year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne and respected her as the empress dowager. Empress Dowager Dou and Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty Liu Heng had a daughter and two boys: the eldest daughter, Princess Liu Xuan, the eldest son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Liu Qi, and the younger son Liu Wu, the king of Liang Xiao. In the sixth year of the founding of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (135 BC), the Empress Dowager Dou died and was buried with Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty.

As a witness to the "rule of Wenjing" and a supporter of Huang Lao's theory, Dou Ji is already a very good heroine.

She has her own ideas, and she does not support the views of Emperor Wu of Han in her youth, which can be regarded as a manifestation of disagreement.

But it cannot be denied that the existence of Dou Ji has a profound impact on Emperor Wen of Han, Emperor Jing of Han and Emperor Wu of Han.

There is this record in the "Hanshu Confucianism Biography" and "Historical Records": In the second year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty (139 BC), Zhao Juan wrote to Emperor Wu that he should not give political affairs to the empress dowager. Empress Dowager Dou was furious, secretly found out the fault of Zhao Juan and Wang Zang, and reproached Emperor Wu and said: "They are going to be the second Aragaki Ping!" The imperial historian Zhao Juan and Lang Zhong ordered Wang Zang to be imprisoned, and then the two committed suicide, and Prime Minister Dou Ying and Taiwei Tian Han were dismissed. and appointed Bai Zhihou Xuchang as the prime minister, and Wuqiang Hou Zhuang Qingzhai as the imperial historian. The new policies implemented by Emperor Wu were all abolished.

It's not that Zhang Jiashi hasn't thought about the question of the Dou family's relatives. However, in contrast to the historical situation of the Dou family's relatives, Zhang Jiashi did not think that these relatives could interfere with the decisive ability of his son, the emperor of the Great Qin Empire, whom he felt was very satisfied.

Relatives are terrible, but if you can't control everything as an emperor, then no matter how much Zhang Jiashi does, it is meaningless.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Zhang Wu himself also has certain ambitions, he naturally will not be the kind of person who casually thinks about rebellion, because he knows very well that the Great Qin Empire has Zhang Jiashi, until His Majesty the Emperor wins the government, if Zhang Jiashi will not have an accident, the Great Qin Empire can be said to be whoever dares to rebel, who will die a miserable death.

Not to mention the personnel of the original Liaodong County faction of Zhang Jiashi's lineage, which has become a solid foundation for Zhang Jiashi to rule the Great Qin Empire, just the cooperation between the Wang family and the Li family, which can be regarded as a famous family in the Great Qin Empire, and Zhang Jiashi's obedience to Zhang Jiashi, is enough to show that Zhang Jiashi's influence on the local system is increasing.

Zhang Wu's ambition was not to replace Yu Yong, Lang Zhongling, but to choose to have an outstanding performance in the war, and to be released by Zhang Jiashi, to become a county guard or a county lieutenant, and to enter the top of the bureaucracy of the Great Qin Empire.

This kind of ambition, even if Zhang Jiashi knew about it, he just smiled indifferently.

After all, for Zhang Jiashi himself, he also thinks that a sentence is very reasonable. That's what Napoleon said: "A soldier who does not want to be a marshal is not a good soldier." ”

People, you have to have some pursuit to be motivated to do a good job.

And Zhang Wu also knew that Zhang Jiashi's treatment of him could also be called an exceptional promotion.

Because according to the normal situation, Zhang Wu, who rarely has the opportunity to directly participate in large-scale battles, can only become a 500 master by virtue of the promotion method of seniority.

And the rank of the lieutenant is much higher than that of the five hundred lords.

Zhang Wu is confident in his own ability, and he is also very grateful to Zhang Jiashi and Yu Yong for their appreciation. He knew that this battle, since it was his promotion, it was also the best way to repay Zhang Jiashi and Yu Yong's kindness.

As for whether he can fulfill his wish after this battle and be worshiped by Zhang Jiashi as a county guard or a county lieutenant, Zhang Wu said that this is not a problem.

And the problem is that he has to fight this battle well, so that Zhang Jiashi will not feel disappointed.

......

And contrary to Zhang Wu's mood, his current demeanor is indeed quite bad, and there is no way to do it, after all, Xiang Yu hasn't even had a good rest in the past few days, let alone tidying up his appearance or something.

However, since he was very excited at the moment, he also felt that he seemed to be taking it for granted.

In his heart, he would naturally succeed in this battle, just like the attack he launched against Zhang Han's subordinates in the first place.

But looking at the formation of this Qin army and its military appearance, Xiang Yu actually had no confidence in his heart.

You must know that the thousands of knights under his command are certainly elite troops. But during this period of day and night marching, the physical strength of these knights was greatly consumed.

Even he felt a little tired, let alone the knights under his command.

"But even if that's the case, so what?"

Xiang Yu said this self-deprecatingly, because he knew that he could only gamble at the moment......
