In December of the seventh year of Guanghe in Han Dynasty (184 AD), Lei Heng presented Bai Xiuying, Zhao Yuannu, Li Qiaonu, Yulan and other four daughters and counted the carts of monkey wine. Finally, Emperor Ling issued an edict: Enpal Lei Su was appointed as General Anxi and was awarded the title of Duting Marquis. He became Lei Heng (General Pingko) in his military position, and temporarily solved the problem of father and son's status as a subordinate.

Lei Heng once used Ye Qing and Zhang Xin as bandits to cause trouble, causing the Wu County and other places to be sparsely populated and the land was unowned. As a result, the father and son agreed to set up a military field guard in Wu County, Hanfeng, Yangqu and Beijing. Lei Su was the general of Anxi to rent and plant and mow it, and the construction and preparation of the company was carried out for all matters.

The military farm guards recruit people to farm, and if one of the families joins the army, they will be a military household.

Military households are granted land based on five acres of each person based on their family population, and taxes are collected from ten taxes and twenty coins per person. There are no labor and labor taxes.

Sergeants can also enjoy additional benefits such as tax reduction and exemption based on third-level and ninth-level military merits.

For example, the last ninth level of human rank - killing the enemy with the army, and the troops win greatly without any gains. Then, the whole family can continue to enjoy the treatment of military households. Of course, if the troops are defeated, they will be judged as a crime. Desert, surrendering to the enemy and other serious crimes. The lightest is to confiscate the house as a slave.

Going further upwards is a serious military merit. The more you go ahead, the more difficult it is, the fewer people can achieve, and the more rewards it will be.

For example, if the eighth level of the human rank is killed, each person who kills an enemy "Argent" will be exempted from taxes for five acres of land in the family for a year, and each person will calculate the tax.

For example, if the sixth grade of the Earth Level is killed, those with positions below the "Capital Commander" may be reduced to the first-class position or granted "Yongye Field".

That is, if you kill the enemy's ranks, military marquis, and Sima, you can choose one of two types of rewards. Either the killing team rate is the longest (reduced by one level), the killing army marquis takes the team rate (reduced by one level), and the killing Sima takes the Junhou (reduced by one level), and you can accumulate promotion; or you will be given the "Yongyetian" instead, and the property rights and ownership of the land are yours, and the tax amount is reduced to 15 taxes.

It is currently agreed that the killing team will lead one person to give 5 mu of "Yongye Field", one killing military marquis will give 15 mu of "Yongye Field", and one killing Sima will give 30 mu of "Yongye Field".

Of course, this is a reward for killing the enemy by one's own strength. Because fighting on the battlefield is the cooperation of the army, the robes should take care of each other, cover up, and even kill enemy generals together. You must agree on the number of contributions based on the amount of effort and give rewards based on the individual proportion.

This is the matter of the civil servant below. After reviewing at one level, the company will report to the department for approval and reward.

Lei Heng naturally won the rewards for those who are brave enough to take the lead like the first, such as the undercover, and will add the second-class rewards.

That is to say, kill a few soldiers. Usually, the reward is based on the "people". If you kill when you climb the city tower, you will be directly raised to the "earth level" to discuss rewards.

For those who have made contributions to the heavenly rank, they can go to the prefectures, state schools, learn literature, martial arts or skills. Those who pass the examination after the study can directly hire county and county. Those who are in the army can directly award official positions. Those who are killed in the battle will directly inherit the title.

In just a few months, more than 7,000 families defected to the military field guards, and nearly 10,000 young and strong men signed up for the army. Lei Heng selected 8,000 elite warriors from them to form a single army. He also asked his father to urge all officials to help the military households settle down and develop production, and strictly ordered not to pay undue taxes or bully the good. Those who dared to embezzle and misappropriate the property they brought forth after making meritorious service and were executed without asking the reason.

All the military and political parties outside the military field guards were unified into the provincial and ministerial palaces.

Lei Heng moved the prefecture to Yong'an County and summoned core officials to the lobby to discuss matters.

Lei Heng took the lead and said, "Thank you all these hard times! Thank you here..." After that, he stood up and bowed solemnly to everyone.

Everyone present quickly turned to their favor and said in unison: "This is our duty, and the lord is very serious!"

Lei Heng raised his hand and signaled everyone to sit down, then asked, "How is the progress of everything unknown?"

Everyone had long been accustomed to Lei Heng's temper and deliberation model, so they reported in turn according to the agenda.

Zheng Tai took the lead in reporting: "Being trusted by the lord, his subordinates will take the lead in preparing all matters of the state and the governor's office. The list of officials has been drafted and submitted to the lord for review." As he said that, he took out a piece of silk paper from his arms, held high and respectfully handed it to Lei Heng.

Lei Heng took the list and took a brief look, then handed it back to Zheng Tai, questioning: "Public business, Duke Wen is only engaged in general? Inappropriate! Inappropriate!"

Zheng Tai explained: "Don't let the emperor be the leader of the officials in the state. My brothers have shallow talents and virtues. How can they be at this high position? They cannot help but have a simple position and prevent the talent from joining you..."

"Enough! What kind of person do you think of me!" Lei Heng could no longer bear it, and the rare rude interrupted the advice of the adviser. Seeing that everyone was shocked and had a complex expression, Lei Heng took a deep breath, calmed his mind and continued: "Public career, Duke Wen has obtained the position of prefect and governor for me, and recommended Yuan Jian and other good leaders to the foundation of the garrison, which is indeed outstanding achievements."

"Lei Heng is definitely not a mean and polite person. Even if there are talented people who come to join us, he cannot shake his sir. When I am poor and confused, I will do my best to assist me with my kindness!"

"Do you have only one state in your own vision?" Lei Heng asked a retort, and then smiled and said, "It will not be too late to be 'humble' when you 'going out to the general and becoming prime minister' in the future...

"That's... you scholars are too rude. If you want to be a high-ranking official, just continue..." Zhuang Xia seemed very excited and jumped out and shouted: "Hehe... lord, don't forget to let me be a general..."

Although the barbarian interrupted his words, Lei Heng did not care at all and continued: "No matter how talented people join, they must start from the county, not to mention that the county is short of talented people of all positions. After they grow up and become familiar, it will not be too late to make any mistakes. At that time, there will be many prefectures and counties to settle..."

Zheng Tai and others were all moved. After looking at each other, they all knelt down on the ground, and choked and said, "We swear to be loyal to our lord and devote ourselves to our lives until we die!"

Lei Heng quickly helped him up one by one and said, "Please ask for official business, Duke Wen and others to plan..."

************************************

The second day.

Lei Heng was fine, so he was ready to go to his office.

Of course, let’s take a look at Zheng Tai first. After all, he must be the best in Bazhou in terms of government affairs and vision.

Zheng Tai has already served as a Biejia in Bazhou, so he is naturally not in the provincial governor's mansion, but has an independent mansion, a place to handle official affairs, and a minor official who has his own pen and pen.

When Lei Heng walked to Zheng Tai's mansion, he actually saw Zheng Hun and Zhang Hong were also in Zheng Tai's study. The three of them seemed to be arguing about something, and they all blushed.

Lei Heng coughed, and the three of them quickly stopped arguing and went forward to greet each other.

Lei Heng took the opportunity to ask, "Why are you three arguing so much about it?"

When Zhang Hong saw Zheng Tai and Zheng Hun, the two brothers of Zheng Hun did not say anything, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Now, the county magistrate of Guangque, the county magistrate, the county magistrate, the county magistrate, the county magistrate, the county magistrate, I recommend one person to be a county magistrate, but Brother Gongye said that he was not qualified enough; I also recommended him as the county magistrate, and Brother Wen said that he did not have enough prestige, and he could not succeed..."

Everyone has their own reasons! Lei Heng had to be cautious and asked softly: "Who is this person's surname? What is his talent? So what is his seniority?"

Zheng Tai and Zheng Hun looked at each other, and Zheng Hun replied closer: "This person's surname is Xiao, his name is Rang, a native of Kuaiji. He has a high level of attainment in calligraphy and painting. He can copy the handwriting of various schools and is quite capable of using fakes to distort the real ones."

Xiao Rang and Lei Heng thought to himself that it should be Xiao Rang, a scholar whom he summoned.

This is an expert in forging letters. He is a talent who can turn the world around at critical moments. He is also a person recommended by his master (referring to Zhang Hong). No matter how he is, he has to arrange a proper position! Lei Heng made up his mind and prepared to adopt Zhang Hong's suggestion and promote Xiao Rang in an extraordinary way.

Zheng Tai knew his lord's nature, and saw this disregarded expression, immediately understood that Lei Heng was going to promote him, so he quickly stepped forward and advised him: "Lord! Tai has something to say..."

Lei Heng naturally would not act arbitrarily and said, "Please give me advice!"

"Lord, Tai is definitely not a person who is jealous of talented people, nor is he a pedantic and stubborn person. Tai also knew Xiao Rang's talent, but Xiao Rang was only a poor scholar and had no outstanding achievements and was transferred to the magistrate of Bi Qianshi. His qualifications are afraid that other officials will not be convinced... It is better to temporarily place him as the county magistrate of Xiaxian with 200 stones first, and then slowly promote it based on his political achievements..."

As soon as he was promoted so slowly, the talents had already run away impatiently. Lei Heng couldn't help but complain in his heart, but what Zheng Tai said was not unreasonable. Before Xiao Rang's talent was even more eye-catching, he was suddenly promoted to the county magistrate. It was indeed difficult to convince everyone, let alone in his prime.

How to solve it? In the future, there will definitely be ordinary talents who will join us. You can't just go to the county magistrate of Xiaxian with 200 stone first. What can you use to attract and retain these talents?

Lei Heng thought hard for a while and suddenly had a bright future. The official title system in later generations could solve this problem.

Lei Heng smiled and began to "tempt" Zheng Tai and Zheng Hun.

"Public career, Wen Gong, Master, I have two or three ideas, please consider it."

"Please tell me the truth!" The three of them were a little stunned and answered one after another.

Lei Heng began to say: "If the county magistrate has a rank of 1,000 stones, his chief and the lieutenant rank are 'four hundred stones'; if the official rank is 'six hundred stones', his chief is 'three hundred stones'. If the county magistrate has a rank of 'four hundred stones' or 'three hundred stones', his chief and the lieutenant rank are 'two hundred stones'. Is this correct?"

"What the lord said is not bad!" the three of them answered in unison.

Lei Heng sneered and continued: "It's a pity that it's too complicated and not very practical. Why not adopt the 'job rank system'?"

“The State Palace Government has seven prefectures:

The official government is in charge of matters such as appointment and removal, examination, promotion and transfer of officials;

The household government is in charge of land, household registration, taxes, salary and all financial matters;

Lifu manages school affairs, examinations and diplomatic affairs;

The Military Office is in charge of the selection of military officers, military ranks, ordnances, military orders and other matters;

The Criminal Government is in charge of laws and criminal prisons, reviews various laws, and reviews criminal cases in various places;

The Working Government is in charge of various projects, craftsmen, military farming, and water conservancy.

The inner government is in charge of the tutoring documents, handling affairs, participating in confidential matters, and affairs of the Prime Minister's Office.

The powers involved in the original Caoshu were all included in these seven prefectures.

The head of the seven prefectures is the steward, the adjutant is the chief officer, and the main assistant officers are the chief officer, etc.

The county and county act the same:

Each county has one chief (prefect/county magistrate), two deputy (county magistrate, county magistrate), and seven Caos (seven Caos, households, rituals, soldiers, punishments, gongs, and other seven Caos); each county has one chief (county magistrate/county magistrate), two deputy (county magistrate, county magistrate), and seven houses (six houses, households, rituals, soldiers, punishments, and workers).
