61 On merit and knighthood
In the afternoon, Liu Bei went to the school to meet his mentor and several great scholars. They all asked how to fight against the enemy when they went north.
Liu Bei will answer questions and answers.
There is no difference between the three generals.
When the teacher heard this, he smiled happily. He said, Tan Shihuai will die, and the Han Dynasty will have no worries for decades.
The three great scholars asked: How can we know it?
The teacher smiled and replied that within one month, the decision will be revealed.
Liu Bei also nodded. Before the army set off, Wu Lian had sent the Da Yan family safely back to the Gaoche tribe. I guess he had already seen the conclusion at this time. What was the ending of Tan Shihuai? As the teacher said, news probably came within the month.
The end of the year is approaching, and heavy snow is flying outside the pass. If there is no news, I can only wait for the beginning of spring next year.
Thanks to Shaojunhou repairing Baitan City, it was for three Han troops to station. The old road leading to Lulongsai could also be opened to cars and horses. Lulongsai had Wuhuan cavalry guarding. The Han army could attack and retreat to defend. It happened that the Xianbei was defeated and the grassland was unowned. I guess it was safe and safe.
After leaving the school, Liu Bei then went to the clinic to visit the wounded soldiers to calm their hearts. In the past, there was only the Liu clan, which was ten miles away. Now it has a land of hundreds of miles and a population of tens of thousands. Every move should be taken seriously. Do not do evil because it is small, and do not do good because it is small.
That's what I'm talking about.
In the public eye, three people become tigers, five people become medals. The words of the public melt gold, and the bones are destroyed.
Even if a very small bad thing is enlarged by tens of thousands of people, it will become a stain that cannot be washed away. So it will go upward and downward, and the world will decline.
For the king, you must be more cautious and polite. Do not be careless or unrestrained.
For example, today Liu Bei rushed to the clinic to visit the wounded soldiers. Before leaving the clinic, the news spread. Everyone praised the young king and the Hou Hou's kindness, and the family members of the wounded soldiers were also very pleased.
The long mat of the five-mile long street must be placed. The loyal and fierce soldiers must not be forgotten.
Liu Bei had already been concerned about rewards.
The counties and states of the Han Dynasty were parallel, and the number of cases decreased.
Liu Bei thought of the title.
During the Qin Dynasty, Shang Yang stipulated that as long as the enemy's "Armored Soldier" head was obtained, the first-level title was obtained. The more heads they killed, the higher the title they obtained. The Han Dynasty used the 20th-level title of Qin and added the monarch. Therefore, it was the 21st-level title.
According to the "Han Shu·Table of Officials and Ministers": "The title: the first level is a duke, two tops, three tops, four no updates, five major officials, six main officials, seven main officials, eight main men, nineteen main men, ten left ministers, eleven right ministers, twelve left ministers, thirteen tops, fourteen right ministers, fifteen tops, sixteen tops, seventeen tops, seventeen tops, eighteen tops, nineteen tops, and twenty tops." From the first level to the fourth level, all soldiers were soldiers. From the fifth level to the ninth level, the nineteen tops, all the generals were military officials, and the titles of common people were not allowed to exceed the duke. Those who exceeded the titles were sent back to people of the same clan. From the tenth level to the eighteenth level, the position of nineteen tops, all the generals were military generals. The nineteenth level and twenty tops were marquis. Among them, seven or more were official titles, and they could be ordered to be fed; the seven or less were civil servants, and only the persons and households were given.
During the reign of Emperor Wu, in order to raise war expenses, he ordered the 20th grade title to be sold (below the Marquis of Guannei), which made the 20th grade title to be ignored. Therefore, those who made meritorious service for the soldiers also had eleventh grade titles: first-class craftsmanship, second-class silence guards, third-class good scholars, fourth-class Yuanrong soldiers, fifth-class official heads, sixth-class Bingduo, seventh-class thousand men, eighth-class Leqing, nineth-class stewards, tenth-class politicians, and eleventh-class military guards, and later sold them.
In this dynasty, except for the two levels of the Marquis and the Marquis of Guannei, the remaining titles were all in name only. The Marquis were divided into different households, the largest ones were only 10,000 households, and the fewest ones were five or six hundred households. In the early Han Dynasty, there were 143 people who were granted the Marquis of the Marquis of the Great Merit. Those with the Marquis of the Marquis of the Great Merits of the Marquis of the People's Republic of China were in charge of their merits. Those with the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the People's Republic of China had great merits, and those with the country's ministers, including family ministers, concubines and other retainers. Due to the systems of later generations such as recruitment, investigation and appointment of sons, they basically monopolized the power to select officials. Although the twenty-level titles were still there, their role had declined and became less and less. Except for the Marquis of the Marquis of Guannei, the rest were almost in name only.
But I don’t know if the princes can grant titles on their own?
Liu Bei then summoned his retainers to discuss.
Geng Yong asked with a smile, can the lord know about "The Order of Rewarding the Enemy"?
turn out to be.
At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the titles and fiefs of the princes were inherited by the eldest son alone. The other concubines could not even get a size of the land. Even "the princes may have dozens of cities and thousands of miles away. If they are slow, they will be arrogant and prone to prostitution; if they are urgent, they will prevent them from being strong and follow them together, and plan to rebel against the capital." The princes' states were large in size and had their own troops, which seriously threatened the Han court's centralization. Therefore, Emperor Wu accepted the strategy of Zhufu Yan and issued the "Recommendation Order".
The Enemy Order learned from Emperor Jing's reign that Chao Cuo issued the "Decree of the Vandal Reduction" and caused the rebellion of the seven kings. It stipulated that in addition to allowing the eldest son to inherit the throne, the remaining concubines must split the land and be granted the title of marquis in the original country. The newly enthroned marquis will no longer be under the jurisdiction of the original kingdom. It is directly managed by each county, and its status is only equivalent to that of the county.
Just as Liu Zhen, the son of Liu Sheng, the ancestor of Liu Bei and the son of Liu Sheng, the King of Jing of Zhongshan, Han, was granted to Lucheng, Zhuo County. This was the result of the order to redeem the benevolence.
This led to the fact that the feudal states became smaller and smaller. The power of the princes was greatly weakened. From then on, "the great country only had more than ten cities, and the small marquis were only more than ten miles." Even if the princes and kings dared to support themselves, the Han court could quickly quell the rebellion.
Liu Bei understood this: When the earth was split and the feudal was divided, would the court be happy to see it?
Geng Yong nodded: Yes.
Cui Jun also said: The emperor thanked the lord for "doing cheaply". In the land of Linxiang, the lord wanted to give a good house and beautiful land to anyone who could give it to himself. There was no need to report it to the county.
Liu Bei nodded happily, that's good.
So, the award of merit was drafted.
First, we must determine the meaning of "Argent Soldiers". As the name suggests, it refers to a man wearing armor. Referring to the Xianbei army, auxiliary soldiers, cavalry slaves, and Hujian, all are not counted. Only Xianbei elite cavalry and Xianbei king cavalry can be considered "Argent Soldiers". Therefore, "Argent Soldiers" refer to regular troops. Or simply considered "Non-in-law officers". Five people and ten people and one titanium. The smallest non-in-law officer is the sergeant commander.
Liu Bei stipulated that killing one sergeant commander or five soldiers can be awarded a first-level title.
Using this to calculate military merits, most of the elite soldiers of Baili were "commanders".
The Duke is the first level of the 21st grade of the Han Dynasty. That is, the lowest level. People with this title still need to serve, and their status is slightly better than those without the title. "It is said that there is a title, but it is different from the soldiers, so it is called a Duke." They can enjoy an annual salary of about fifty stones, another hectares of land (50 acres), a house and a servant.
The standard for residential land is to use a land that is thirty steps in square foot as a "house". The magistrate enjoys a house and a half.
The houses in the city are all nine hundred square steps. The total number is thirty houses. The Han title is the ninth level, and the five doctors named "The Lord of the Doctors" are only twenty-five houses.
It seems that rewards are useless, but it is not.
The Lou Sang Dajian was all paid in advance by Liu Bei and sold them to civilians on installment. The total price of the house was reduced to thirty houses. After becoming a minister, one and a half houses were deducted from the reward, and only a half houses were left for the remaining twenty-eight houses.
One hectares of land equals fifty acres, and this is also done. If there is no land to be divided, it will be converted into rice and grain and distributed together with the annual salary.
The servant can rent a job at the city center. After signing the coupon, the monthly merits will be paid by the depositary. The servant is a worker in the employment relationship, not a slave. This must be clear.
Xiwu Iron Cavalry, Banfenghuang Crossbowman, Shield Crossbowman, Sword and Shield Hand, Spearman, and Archer, all have rewards.
