Those who do not have military merit cannot be ennobled as marquises, and those who do not have marquis cannot be ministers. If this were said in the era of scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty, they would definitely be beaten to death. If it were said in the Ming Dynasty, when military attachés were automatically demoted to two levels when facing civilian officials, the person who said this would definitely be
Being sprayed to death!
This is why the dynasties of later generations have all kinds of slander. Without him, scholar-bureaucrats are in power! Military attachés cannot be allowed to come to power. Corrupt Confucianism is always right, and generals are always inferior to others. This is the atmosphere that future generations want to create, so later generations are hung up in various ways.
Fighting, corrupt scholars are offline in various ways to improve their moral integrity. They can even say such words as "If you don't live in peace and starve, imitate the mantis with its arms", what can I say about the moral integrity of corrupt scholars?
However, this period has not yet reached the time when civil servants were in power. From the Qin Dynasty's head count of merit to the Han Dynasty's whitewashed military merit and nobility. In short, there are no pure civil servants in this era. There is no one present who has never been on the battlefield.
, Ban Chao was able to go to the battlefield just by throwing away his pen, and Li Dian was able to throw down his slips and change his career from a civil servant to an outstanding military general. In this era, civil and military affairs were not separated.
The importance of the six arts of the gentleman is not less than that of ritual and music. The Han Dynasty was angry, and some censor could turn around and become a general. In this era, martial arts has been engraved in the bone marrow, and literacy may be very low, but
There are a lot of people who can fight. After all, if you want to become a lord, you have to be ready to go to the battlefield!
Because of this tradition that has been passed down for many years, Jia Xu and others have no pressure at all to say that they cannot be ennobled without military merit. As for what Chen Xi said about scars, even if they are glorious, these counselors who have been on the battlefield all felt it and nodded.
What I didn’t say in this article is that it doesn’t matter whether it’s extreme or not.
"Next is the Jingling Hall. The names of every soldier who died on the battlefield must be engraved on the stele in front of the hall. The four solar terms are determined by... We sacrifice three animals and six animals without any lack. The etiquette is the same as that of the princes and kings. This can be used as a guide.
The final destination of all our soldiers." Chen Xi brought the topic back to the original path, giving benefits to the living and glory to the dead, so that they would have nothing to worry about in life and death.
"Although it's a bit over the limit..." Man Chong and Liu Ye looked at each other and murmured, "but looking at the reason, it should be okay."
"Don't mention exceeding the limit. Even if some things exceed the limit, everyone will turn a blind eye." Chen Xi waved his hand and said, he didn't pay attention to things like exceeding the limit at all, if it weren't for being really afraid.
Because it was too big for him to step down, Chen Xi wanted to offer sacrifices to the heavens. What he wanted was that kind of glory. In the era of faith in the Han Dynasty, that kind of glory was enough to make too many people at the bottom of the class like moths fly to this place.
A ball of flame.
"Zichuan continues to talk about your plan. This should be a complete system. You have already mentioned the dead themselves. Now it should be about the placement of the living, or something else!" Jia Xu waved his hand. For someone like him,
To a man, going over the limit is nothing. As long as he is safe enough, he can despise everything.
"Well, families who died in the war will be exempted from agricultural taxes until their eldest son is eighteen years old. One son from the family can enter the government for compulsory study for free within three years. No matter what he studies, it is free, as long as he has the ability to finish it.
He's awesome!" Chen Xi said with a natural expression, he had built these things bit by bit, and now it's finally time to use them.
"The expense is not big, but it is very valuable, but what should I do if the eldest son is eighteen years old?" Lu Su asked a very interesting question.
Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, and then he thought that this was not the future. It was very possible for the eldest son to turn eighteen. Even if there was a system of military discharge, some people would inevitably die in battle at the age of 33 or 45. In this era, many people at the bottom got married at the age of 13 or 45.
Now, having an eighteen-year-old son is really not a problem.
"Well, that's it. If the eldest son is fifteen years younger than me, in addition to his own five-year pension, he will also receive three months' compensation for those killed in action for every year younger than the eldest son." Chen Xi thought for a moment and said.
With the agricultural tax exempted, a certain amount of salary supplemented, and five years of pension, plus three years of education with food, clothing, and housing, the child will almost be able to make money after spending the money. It's not that he doesn't want to pay more, mainly because
This kind of pension involves too many people. Once you make a wish, you must fulfill it, otherwise it will be a big trouble if the military's morale is unstable. After all, the money circulating in Chen Xi's hands is not unlimited.
"The pension is five years. Well, I thought Zichuan would give it ten years according to the previous practice, but I didn't expect it was only given five years." Lu Su said with a smile. In fact, when Chen Xi mentioned the pension,
At that time, Lu Su was ready to give a pension of ten years' salary. Unexpectedly, Chen Xi only gave it five years, which was a bit unreasonable.
"Well, the first pension is for five years." Chen Xi said calmly.
"So there is a second one?" Lu Su suddenly felt helpless. Chen Xi made a lot of money, but he also spent a lot of money!
"The first pension is paid to the wife. If the wife continues to have the obligation to raise children, the wife can receive half of the husband's annual salary from the government every year. This salary lasts for ten years, and if the government has odd jobs suitable for female workers, these wives
They have priority. After ten years, if their children are younger than fifteen, the issuance will be increased to fifteen. In the same period, the disabled veterans who returned to their hometown will have the right of supervision. The supervisory official also has..." Chen Xi glared at Lu Su, and then faced
Said with a smile.
"Sure enough, I still have to pay enough." Lu Su sighed and said, he knew that Chen Xi would not treat those people badly, and as expected.
"This method is good. Presumably the benefits for the disabled soldiers and the veterans are paid annually, and they are all paid together. We use the feelings of comrades and fellow villagers to safeguard these interests." Liu Yemo
Chen Xi touched his beard and said with great satisfaction. Chen Xi had considered almost everything he could think of.
"Well, only when these retired soldiers stick together can their own interests be guaranteed, and retired soldiers who are not seriously disabled can be transferred to the government service first, so that their own interests can be more easily guaranteed." Chen Xi nodded and said,
He still has some experience with things like checks and balances.
"As for the elite soldiers Wen He said before, they are their guarantee. The city management and patrol team is purely an elite team composed of veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles and retired without disabilities around the age of thirty-five. They only conduct patrols and patrols within the city.
I don’t believe that Jingling Palace is stationed there.
For a team like this that is comparable to the Guards level, whoever dares to reach out for this money will naturally chop off the opponent's hand! Boning! I recommend you to name yourself when the time comes!" Chen Xi's eyes were filled with coldness when he said this,
He couldn't believe it. Under the suppression of such purely violent troops, there were still people who dared to reach out!
"That's no problem." Man Chong nodded. He knew what Chen Xi was doing by giving him such a unit. Although it was in name only, that kind of deterrence was no joke. As a cruel official, he needed this deterrence.
"By the way, all retired soldiers, whether due to injury or age, will be taken to the Jingling Hall to offer incense before returning. Similarly, newly recruited soldiers will be taken to the Jingling Hall to offer incense after being reorganized.
Assign them to each
Legion! All in all, my goal is to keep the Jingling Palace alive!" Chen Xi stood up and looked solemnly at the sky outside the door. His goal was to forge a spirit, an endless martial spirit, until it is burned into the soul.
