Jia Xu immediately put the letter into an envelope and asked Ma Xiu and Han Yan to send his servants back to Liangzhou, the envelope was made of mulberry paper, which was hard and strong, and could also be used for writing.

With that said, the rest of the time is for small talk.

Qin Feng asked the two: "I don't know what position the two sons held in Chang'an before?" ”

Ma Xiu shook his head and said: "The two of us do not hold positions in the government, and they just practice their fists and feet, read books, and travel around the mountains and rivers on weekdays!" ”

Qin Feng shook his head, and said in line with the principle of doing his duty: "Brother Ma, this is not right, you two are in the prime of life, and it is the time to make meritorious contributions, how can you travel in the mountains and rivers and be idle?" In the long run, won't you be looked down upon by your elders and brothers in the family? Why don't you come to the government and the army to do things? ”

Han Yan couldn't help but ask: "The general asked the two of me to come to the army and the government to do things, aren't you afraid that the two of us will leak the affairs of the government and the army?" ”

"Hahaha······" Qin Feng laughed, and then said: "I treat the two sons with sincerity, presumably the two sons will also treat me with sincerity!" As the so-called employment is not suspicious, suspicious people don't need it! The two sons are talented people, wouldn't they waste a lot of time at home? ”

These two people were originally here to be hostages, and when Zhong Xuan was in Chang'an, he sent people to monitor them, but he only arranged a position for them as idle officials, and there was no actual position, but he didn't expect Qin Feng to invite them to enter the Zhonghe government to take up real positions.

Han Yan asked, "Is the general's words true?" ”

"Qin is now a prince, so this is naturally not just a casual remark! There is only one point, after the two of them take office, they must abide by the regulations of the government and the military discipline in the army, which is no different from others, no special! ”

Han Yan and Ma Xiu glanced at each other, and the two of them immediately got up and saluted Qin Feng: "Thank you for the general's kindness, we are willing to serve the general!" ”

What they wanted was to march into the Zhonghe government for a while to see how Qin Feng governed the government and commanded the army, and in this regard, to see how Qin Feng was different from under his father.

Qin Feng immediately called the official Cao over to arrange official positions for the two.

Since Qin Feng captured Chang'an, there have been many officials who disdain to do things for him and have gone away, and now many positions in the government are vacant, and officials are urgently needed to fill in.

It is normal for these people to hang up their seals and leave, they all dislike Qin Feng's bad background and are unwilling to do things for him, but there are still many officials who stay, especially those low-level officials.

Seeing the current situation, Qin Feng asked Jia Xu: "Mr. Wenhe, now that many high-ranking officials and celebrities have left their seals and refuse to stay in office, how can we enrich the officials in the government as soon as possible?" ”

Jia Xu shook his fan and smiled slightly: "The lord has actually done it in Nanyang, but it is not thorough enough, and the current situation in Chang'an has been expected a long time ago!" ”

"It is natural for those nobles to think that they are noble and disdain to serve the lord who was born in Caokou, but what if the lord cancels the privileges of the nobles? Once the privileges of scholars are abolished, those who want privileges can only be officials! ”

Qin Feng thought about it, he is now a single person, and he is not afraid of itching if he has lice on his body, these things have already been done in Nanyang, and he is not afraid to do it in Guanzhong, don't you scholars disdain to be officials under me? Lao Tzu canceled all your privileges, let you pay taxes like ordinary civilians, the same status as civilians, there is no preferential treatment for children to go to school and be officials, when you pass through the pass and city gate, you have to get off the car and dismount for inspection like ordinary civilians, allow ordinary people to wear silk and satin when conditions permit, allow ordinary people to enter the official and be an official, and let an ordinary person be an official to govern you scholars, it depends on whether you are angry or not.

Don't think that the common people are not as smart as you if they have not read books, the wisdom of the working people is infinite, and you only know a few more words than the common people if you read a few books!

After a few days, Qin Feng issued several decrees.

1. Abolish the status of all slaves, henceforth, all slaves will be free again, their status will become commoners, their duties will be hired as employees, the former deeds of sale will be null and void, and if the master wants to continue to employ them, he must pay them regularly every month, and if anyone violates them, once discovered, the government will impose a fine of ten gold and order him to pay double the wages of the hired laborers; The heavier sentence is three years!

Second: the official gentry and the gentry pay taxes as a whole, and the government tax collection standard is levied on the number of acres, not on the number of family members. Regarding the matter of the officials' taxes, Qin Feng decided to compensate them in terms of the amount of money and increase the rate accordingly in order to win the support of the officials.

Third, the poll tax, the city gate tax and some other miscellaneous taxes will be abolished to reduce the burden on the common people, and at the same time increase the commercial tax and the luxury goods transaction tax.

Fourth: From now on, officials can be promoted from among the officials, or they can be selected from the students who have completed their studies in Funiu Academy, and others who want to be officials directly can only enter the official career through the recruitment hall.

The Zhaoxian Pavilion does not ask about the background, the character is the first, the talent is the second, Qin Feng left the Zhaoxian Pavilion to select talents, and it is also a promotion window for very talented people, such as Zhuge Liang, do you still let him start as a small official?

In addition, although the majority of the scholars are selfish and narrow-minded, after all, they are not without people with long-term vision, outstanding ability, and broad minds.

Fifth: in the counties and counties to set up schools, school-age children can be enrolled, regardless of the scholar, the school is funded by the government to build, hire professors, free admission, bring their own meals, the students of the government-run schools are eligible to enter higher institutions, if the professors of the school have outstanding teaching performance, they have the opportunity to be promoted to officials.

Sixth: Those who have less than 100 acres of land at home are not allowed to buy or sell; More than 100 acres can be bought and sold, but 100 acres must be left, and the excess part can be bought and sold, and each household can only have a maximum of 2,000 acres of land; The male in the family died, the land was taken back by the government, relatives and relatives could not inherit, and someone in the family became a relative and had to be separated.

Seventh: Set up a recruitment hall in Chang'an, regardless of status and class, as long as you have morality and talent, you can register for the assessment at the recruitment hall, and once you pass the assessment, you can be an official.

The promulgation of these decrees is very complicated, everything is difficult at the beginning, and the law must be perfected step by step, and in order to establish a new government, it is necessary to break the old system, gradually establish a new system, and try to solve the problems left over from the past.

After the decree of the Sili Commander's Mansion was promulgated, the scholars in the land of Sanfu exploded, and after carefully analyzing these decrees, almost all of them were aimed at them, how could they not be angry?
