Chapter 597 Lord

"According to previous dynasties, if we talk about the prosperity of martial arts, there is no better than that of the Qin and Han Dynasties."

This sentence is not entirely correct. Half of it, the martial arts of the Sui and Tang dynasties were also very powerful. However, the system of titles in the Sui and Tang dynasties was roughly rewarded according to Duke, Marquis, Bozinan. These titles have long been agreed upon, and all dynasties must have been rewarded by the court. The reason why Ma Cheng only talked about the Qin and Han Dynasties, not the Sui and Tang dynasties was because he wanted to imitate the words of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and he would definitely not be able to avoid the court, and there was a suspicion of rebellion.

However, if we follow the titles of the Qin and Han dynasties, no one has used them since the Qin and Han dynasties. There are only one titles of the titles of the Qin and Han dynasties, which are four levels and twenty levels, which is too cumbersome. This is also a matter of being planted by predecessors, and the Ming people only need to enjoy the cool air. Emperor Wu of Han once simplified the titles of the twenty level to the eleven level, thinking that they were specially awarded martial arts titles and specialized in military merit.

Malin was extremely cautious in restoring the title of title and hesitated: "The military title system of Emperor Wu of Han seems to be good. But there is a question, are there any disadvantages?"

Ma Cheng winked, and Lu Xiangsheng said calmly: "The Qin and Han dynasties used the number of cities and plunders, the number of enemy ranks, the level of killing and capturing enemy officials as the standard for merit, and the title was divided into grades. The original intention was to reward military merits. However, after Emperor Jing, the world gradually became peaceful, and the title gradually began to become light and abused, often used as a means of raising income for the court. The original intention of rewarding military merits was gradually lost. The title could be bought with money, and naturally lost its glory, which led to no one paying attention to it."

Marin has been living in the officialdom for a lifetime, but he still can't understand that this title is a cake of painting. A big cake for the soldiers of the three armies in troubled times. When the world is peaceful, it will eventually become a kind of vanity. Although it is a cake of painting, it is still somewhat affordable. For example, families with titles can receive some money and grain supplies from the government every month. It can be seen that the official does not kneel down and grants land according to the title. This is the real benefit.

The system of title enthronement implemented in Kaiyuan was actually similar to the system of honor and military service in later generations, but it was more detailed and perfect.

Macheng admired the wisdom of his predecessors very much. Didn’t the system of the ranks of the later generations also learned from the ancients? It was just that later generations transformed it into different parts. But there was one difference. According to the size of the title, soldiers could run horses and grab land on the grassland. Macheng was extremely proud of this idea of ​​lands and grab land. After the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia entered the pass, the Eight Banners children could run horses and grab land on the territory of the Han people.

Why can't we Han people run horses and encircle lands on the Mongolian territory? The soldiers with titles in the army are a little impatient to go to Mobei to foster a piece of land and raise some animal slaves and livestock. In the future, the soldiers can also be rich. Those who are calm and think a lot. When they wipe out the Jianlu and occupy all the beautiful land in Liaodong, wouldn't they be able to enclose land in Jianzhou?

Ma Cheng gave a positive answer, but then wait.

In this way, the title order detonated Kaiyuan as soon as it was released, leading the morale of the Kaiyuan army to the peak. Before the battle was fought, the generals and officials in the army were already thinking about the land of Jianzhou. They asked for battle every day, and sent letters to the Admiral's Mansion to express their loyalty. Ma Cheng patiently replied one by one. The momentum of the momentum was no longer enough to describe the morale of the Kaiyuan army and the civilians. It should be said that the qi rushed to the sky. I am afraid that once Ma Cheng pulled out the reins, the Kaiyuan army would rush towards Jianzhou like wild horses.

The Lord system was promulgated and it only needs to be implemented slowly in the future.

Ma Cheng was relieved and recreated a Ming version of the Lord class. In this way, he could walk with two legs. One leg was the Scholar and Shang class and the other leg was the Lord class. To put it bluntly, this is to improve the social status of the soldiers of the town and create a Lord class, which is equivalent to opening up an ascending or a fast channel for the soldiers in the army in today's society.

Kaiyuan, who walks on both legs, should be able to walk more steadily.

Xiluo City, an official house.

Sijinyuan was considered a mansion in Xiluo City. After moving into Yuan Chonghuan's family, he still did not feel crowded. This is an official house that cannot be sold to the public. With Yuan Chonghuan's position as the general official of the military academic system, this official house is treated very high in terms of treatment. Now Yuan Chonghuan is also very low-key. He lives a semi-secret life in Kaiyuan, and has brought his wives, concubines and children from his hometown in Guangdong to Kaiyuan. Yuan Chonghuan has a wife, six concubines, two sons and one daughter. He has no connections in Kaiyuan, and only some old subordinates walk around on weekdays.

He had a good future in his old subordinates of the Guanning Army, and most of them were retained in the army.

Although Yuan Chonghuan was arrogant, he was not stupid. He was saved by Ma Cheng and Sun Chengzong. He knew how to be a low-key person in Kaiyuan, so he would not cause trouble for others. However, his life was a little dull, and he did not expect to live a salary. With his savings and the contributions of his old subordinates, he was more than enough to be a rich man. However, after all, he was a rank-in official. He knew that his ordinary life was hard, and it was difficult for his wives and concubines at home to persuade him.

On this day, He Kegang brought a few old subordinates to visit. When he looked at the old subordinates, Yuan Chonghuan smiled a little more.

After drinking, Yuan Chonghuan was slightly surprised: "What did you say? Even I have a title?"

He Kegang smiled and said in a moving manner: "That's right, he has been appointed as the governor, and he is the first-class title!"

Yuan Chonghuan was a little lost, as if in a dream, Marquis Che was the highest level of his title during the Qin and Han dynasties, and he was a nobleman below one person and above millions of people.

He Kegang was in a very good mood and said with a smile: "Ma Shuai is still nostalgic for the past."

Yuan Chonghuan was stunned again, suddenly remembering the friendship between the two fighting side by side under Datong City. He sighed in his heart that Ma Cheng is naturally nostalgic and has a higher title.

After all, I couldn't hold back my face and hummed, "I am an idle person at home. I want such a high title. I am just a false title."

He Kegang didn't know his temper and nature, and smiled and said, "Although it's a false title, it's always a bit affordable. Ma Shuai imitates the old Qin and Han Dynasties. Chehou Tishuai must attend the banquet. Chehou's first-level land can be collected by tens of millions of acres. This is a lot of benefits."

Yuan Chonghuan was moved when he heard this, but hummed, "You must sit at a banquet. If you sit so high, do you want to be a potted plant for people to watch?"

He Kegang knew that the commander was a very handsome man, so he kept silent and talked about some interesting things in the army, and the host and the host were all happy.

But before leaving, He Kegang said mysteriously: "For future generations, the governor should polish his eyes more easily and not be blinded by the rewards of the 10,000 acres of fertile land."

Yuan Chonghuan still hummed, his mouth still hard: "Thousands of acres of fertile land are such a big deal, so many lands have been opened?"

He Kegang gave a gift and said goodbye. After closing the door, Yuan Chonghuan sighed again. These words were unnecessary. Kaiyuan's territory is too large now, and the people of Kaiyuan really look down on it. (To be continued)
