Chapter 15: The Dukes and Uncles, the Military Merit System
In Xianyang City, as the celebration approaches, more and more people wear black clothes. The Ming Dynasty is still yellow, and the Qin Dynasty is still black.
Ying Zheng, the first emperor, wore black clothes all day long. His three views influenced the courtiers, and the courtiers' three views influenced Xianyang and even the world. This is like the king of Chu who had a slim waist and many starved to death in the palace.
A truth.
Xianyang City Viscount Mansion.
Currently, Da Qin has two completely different title systems. The former is the familiar military title system. This system is divided into twenty levels. The highest is Chehou. Some special Chehou are even called so-and-so lords.
For example, Wu Anjun!
In the military merit system, in the past, the rewards were privileges, land, and slaves. Since Ying Zheng came to the throne, he has limited the land limit to 10,000 acres, and has also placed restrictions on families, working hard to expose the major families.
, splitting the big family into one household after another.
There was an upper limit on land rewards, and the privileges began to gradually weaken. At least they could not violate Qin law, and there could not be any special situation where aristocratic privileges overrided Qin law.
As for slaves, there are some now, but private individuals are no longer allowed to keep slaves. Today's slaves are mostly concentrated and driven to work by the Shaofu or the Prime Minister's house.
Digging mountains and building roads, building bridges over water, all kinds of work are waiting for them. There is endless work to do every day, but the treatment of slaves is much better than before. At least they don't have to worry about starving to death, and they don't have to worry about being beaten at will by their masters.
die.
The land has been capped, privileges have been restricted, and there are no slaves, so what's the point of military merit and nobility? Everyone goes through life and death, and the title they get in exchange has greatly depreciated in value?
This is not possible! If this is really the case, then people’s hearts will be shattered!
Therefore, Ying Zheng rewarded the military meritorious nobles with many secrets. Those at the innate level are the basis, and those at the master level can also be redeemed.
The privileges have been exchanged for secrets, the land has been exchanged for the use of Jiuchongtian time, and the slaves have been exchanged for admission quotas. Currently it is the admission quota for Yulinwei, and in the future it will be the admission quota for Xianyang Royal Primary School and Xianyang Royal Middle School.
In short, there are still rewards in today's military merit system, and those who are motivated are very satisfied. Those who are not motivated can also exchange these rewards into money and go home to enjoy them.
As for Duke Bozinan, this is another system, a system of feudal nobles. They have their own fiefdom, and can even create their own laws in the fiefdom, as long as it does not violate Qin law.
For example, these real lords can stipulate that all women must not wear bellybands when passing through my territory!
This rule belongs to the privilege of the lord. Does it violate Qin law?
It seems very bad, but if you think about it carefully, it is actually not against the rules, because it is aimed at women outside the territory. You don’t have to come, you don’t have to pass through my territory. And it’s just not wearing a bellyband, it’s not
Wearing nothing...
The Viscount Mansion in front of me is the house of Li Yuan in Xianyang in the Sui Dynasty. This was a reward. As a real lord, the gift of a house in Xianyang City was just the basic treatment.
Originally, Li Yuan was just a man, but after he led the Guanlong clan and the entire Guanzhong to surrender to the empire, he became a son and sealed off a territory of twenty miles, twenty miles long and twenty miles wide, which is one hundred square kilometers.
, although not big but not small either!
After leading the Guanzhong land to surrender, Li Yuan had been keeping a low profile. When Ying Zheng asked him what reward he wanted, he directly offered to lead his family to Xianyang City, willing to continue to contribute to the Qin Dynasty.
At night, several members of the Li family finally gathered together again. Everyone gathered around a round table, and they didn't pay much attention to it.
"The rules of Great Qin are different from those of Great Sui. Even nobles do not have private slaves. These are hired workers. Cooks are hired and servants are hired. Just get used to it."
"Just like this dish, I cooked it myself. If it had never happened before, it would never have happened. But now that I think about it, it's quite good. Come on, try them all and see how good I am at it?"
This is a plate of braised pork, braised pork with a lot of sugar added. Each piece of meat is very big, one inch high, one inch long and one inch wide. The knife skills are incredible, each piece of braised pork is exactly the same size.
Li Jiancheng ate a piece. The fat meat was delicious, but there was a little too much sugar added: "Well, it's good, it's delicious. Shimin, Yuanji, Yuanba, and Xiuning, you can also have some."
As he said this, Li Jiancheng ate two more pieces, his mouth full of oil. This was not only the case for him, but also for Li Shimin and others, except Li Yuanba.
He really doesn't think it tastes good, but now after taking a lot of Taoist elixirs, his IQ has increased, from the previous five or six years old to the current eleven or twelve years old.
So he put down his chopsticks after taking one bite and said nothing. But even so, everyone used chopsticks to chopsticks, and they quickly finished the plate of braised pork cooked by Li Yuan himself.
Seeing his sons and daughters' mouths full of oil, Li Yuan's smile became even more satisfied. After a while, Li Yuan put down his chopsticks: "Today is different from the past. Everything in Da Qin is different from the past."
"This is a brand new opportunity for us. And the future is even broader. Thinking about all the worlds in the world makes people look forward to it. Longevity and immortality have become possible!"
Li Jiancheng nodded: "The Great Qin and the Great Sui are indeed different. The biggest impression that the Great Qin gives me is not the violent Qin, nor the Qin Fa, but hope. This place is full of hope, and anyone who works hard will be rewarded!"
"Those who join the army can be promoted step by step from militiamen, soldiers, commanders, commanders of hundreds, commanders of thousands, and captains. What's more important is that here in Daqin, all this is transparent. No one dares to embezzle military merit. If in Daqin
Sui..."
Having said this, Li Jiancheng shook his head directly. The most important thing in the Sui family is that if you dare to make meritorious deeds without family background, you must be prepared to be accused of military merit at any time, unless there is someone above you!
"The Great Qin Dynasty is really different from the Great Sui Dynasty. Qin's law is the strongest here. Even military meritorious nobles cannot violate Qin's law. This is really incredible."
Shaking his head slightly, Li Er continued: "Haier joined the Yulin Guards. It has been a year now. I have learned a lot in this year and read many military books from other worlds. It is really eye-opening."
"And others don't look down on the child because he is not a native of Daqin. Now he is a staff officer in the Yulin Guard. Once he is released, he will be a leader among thousands of soldiers."
