015 Chapeng Gossip (Part 2)
Just when the two were chatting, they had already known each other, so Shigong Tai knew Hu You's name...com
Hu You has been through the world for a long time and has sought others, so he naturally has to respect others, so he has always called the old man Taishi Gong.
"Old man, I think the guards of the Legion do not seem so friendly to the Blizzard Legion." Hu You asked. He also learned some things about the military along the way. However, what the people said was not so clear, so Hu You still didn't understand very well about the affairs between the local government and the legion until now.
The Grand Historian nodded secretly to Hu You's question. He had already seen that Hu You didn't understand the conscription points when Hu You went to ask the city guards for the conscription site. He didn't wake up, just to see if Hu You had observed the questions.
Shigong Taishi did not answer Hu You's question first, but asked back: "What do you think of the military and political affairs of the Mandala Empire?"
"Military and Political?" Hu You was a little surprised. This question would be a bit big. It took him a few months to come to the Mandala Empire, and his understanding of the empire was not as good as a child. How could he answer this?
"It is the imperial official title system." Taishi Gong explained.
"Oh, it turns out that it's such a military and political situation." Hu You said intimately.
Along the way, Hu You had already found out about the imperial titles clearly. When he came to join the army, he didn't know which official was bigger or the lesser one was OK.
Although Hu You had never been an official, he grew up watching red movies. He knew the difference between the political commissar, the regiment commander, the district political commissar and the military political commissar. He could easily find that the Mandala Empire had too few official classes, and they were all military officers.
The empire used military officers to manage the army and the local government, which was like there were no civil servants. This practice was very similar to the history of the military governing in the Tang Dynasty. History has proved that such people who gathered military and political power at the top were easily rebelled.
He only said three points to everyone, Hu You was not so stupid, and he poured out all his thoughts. But he wanted to know the purpose of the old man's questioning, but he couldn't say nothing, so he tentatively said in an uncertain tone: "There seems to be too few official ranks in the empire."
The Grand Historian slapped his thigh and shouted, "You are saying this to the point. The imperial ranks are not a little less, but too many are missing. According to historical records, the official ranks of the previous dynasty were divided into civil servants and generals and systematically divided. Civil officials are divided into Taishi, Taifu, Taibao, Grand Secretary, Chief of the Censor, Chief of the Censorate, Chief of the Zongren Mansion, Tongzheng, and Minister of Dali Temple.
Military generals are divided into the commander's inner minister, the Grand Marshal, the Minister, the Chief Minister, the General of the Territory of the Province... The General of the Cavalry, the Chief of the Assistant Army, the Military Assistant Army, the General Manager of the Xinru, etc., with a total of hundreds of official positions.
Look at it now, there are only ten positions in total from the ten men to the state guard.”
Hu You poured a glass of wine for the Grand Historian and accompanied the Grand Historian, then said, "Don't our empire still have titles, nobility, and they are not missing."
"The title and the nobles are just farts." When talking about this, Shigong's face was full of disdain.
"What do you mean?" Although Hu You also inquired about some things along the way, he still wanted to hear the old man's opinion.
"Although the titles are divided into two different types, it is just that. The titles are divided into five levels, including Gong, Hou, Bo, Zi, and Male. As long as there are titles, they will naturally be nobles.
If the title is of some use, it is to comfort those guards who have not obtained fiefdoms and are just guards. If the official position is guarding, they will naturally be promoted to barons, and the guards of the city are viscounts. Without the feudal, there is no use for a title. Unless it is a family, the title is fart."
"What about the aristocratic family? What about the aristocratic family? I heard that they also have fiefs." It is rare to meet someone who knows so well about politics and is willing to talk about it, so Hu You will naturally not let it go.
"The aristocratic families are different. The land of aristocratic families is called an autonomous region. This is hereditary family. The size of an autonomous region is divided by titles. The larger the title, the more land it is. However, the autonomous region is already at the founding of the country. Now, there have been no new aristocratic families in many years, and there are no new autonomous regions.
The aristocratic family wants titles, mainly to establish a personal corps. To receive the imperial law and the viscount family, 100 personal corps can be formed. The baron family has 200 people, 500 earls, 1,000 marquis, and 2,000 dukes."
Hu You said to myself, my goodness, the duke is equal to the regiment commander. If the private soldiers of 2,000 people are all masters, their power will be extraordinary.
Taishigong's drinking power seemed average, but when it comes to the end, most of them were talking nonsense. However, as far as his previous words were concerned, Hu You, it was enough for the wine.
Based on his knowledge of the original world, Hu You finally had a first impression of the Mandala Empire. First of all, from Hu You's perspective, he did not think that the imperial official rank system was as unbearable as Tai Shigong said. Because he did not put the three different classes of military positions, titles, and aristocratic families in the same position.
The founding emperor of the empire was definitely a genius. He abolished the bloated official rank system of the previous dynasty and reduced it to a trinity-in-one official rank system. The ability of Mandala to follow proves that this system has its own advantages.
However, one of the biggest flaws of this system is that it has high requirements for the emperor of the empire. If the emperor does not have enough power and skills, he will not be able to play with this system. Once a problem occurs, the consequences will be difficult to predict.
Thinking of this, Hu You couldn't help but secretly calculate in his mind, how should he use this system if he was the emperor himself? Or, to form a better system?
After pondering for a long time, Hu You shook his head in disappointment. He found that with his current reading power, he was not enough to get an answer.
"It seems that there are still a lot of things I have to learn."
I drank wine and said something, it should be time to go on the road.
Hu You called the waiter and after paying for the drink, he was about to announce his resignation to Taishi and leave.
At the door of the Chapeng, the Grand Historian grabbed Hu You, took out a small cloth bag and said, "Little...Brother, today I will meet again...After farewell, I don't know when I will meet again. I have something here, which I have learned throughout my life. I will give it to you, so I will leave you with a memory."
Hu You took the small bag from Taishigong and held it in his hand and felt it. It seemed like a book.
"Zhang Liang received a book?" A thought flashed through Hu You's heart, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Zhang Liang "lifted his shoes and became a disciple" and received the story of the old man Huang Shigong's "Taigong's Art of War" by Hu You more than once. Could it be that his drink today was also favored by strange people?
If you don’t take advantage, you will be a bastard. Hu Youke has no intention of pushing out the things you have. He quickly stuffed the things into his arms and thanked Shi Gong repeatedly.
After seeing off the old man, Hu You quickly found a secluded place, opened the cloth bag, and saw what good things were on this side. Maybe he would rely on it to become a king and become a general in the future.
Hu You ignored the smell of sweat on the cloth bag and opened the cloth bag with an extremely pious heart. What made Hu You excited was that it was as he imagined, and it was indeed a book in the cloth bag.
This is a book with a hard cover with green skin. You can only look at the paper and know that it has been a while. There are four big characters on the cover. Hu You saw it and almost cursed her.
"A story collection?"
Hu You felt like he was staring at Venus. It seemed that the greater the hope, the greater the forgetfulness. After a long time of happiness, he didn't expect it to be a story book.
With a hint of expectation, Hu You opened the book. Although the title of the book has been well written, Hu You still did not give up. Many strange people have strange tempers. Perhaps this is the same as the "Sunflower Book" and there is a world of chaos! You can't be a fool who "creates himself" before you finish reading it.
After a long time, Hu You finally became completely sure that this was a real story book, with no military tactics and no martial arts intensiveness.
"Mara Gobi." Hu You sighed to the sky, shaking his hands and thinking about this Popiao Astronomy. Friends who like this book, please go to Qidian to read the genuine version. Jiangnan Yimeng.)
