Today's Great Qin is different from the Great Qin when the princes fought. The aristocratic class has formed a strict system. They are intertwined and have begun to control the entire court and local government. They hope to maintain their status and family interests, and do not want anyone to compete with them for status and rights.

Even if the new lord system rewards only nominal lords, once they get the title, they will inevitably get many identities and be easily recognized by the people and join the aristocratic class. The children of the family can also enter the bureaucratic class, and they will inevitably compete for the resources that are not large.

Chen Xu's purpose was to target the bureaucratic system that the Qin Dynasty had begun to become rigid, and to use this system of title to introduce more fresh blood from different classes to the court and local county officials.

"Your Majesty, why not make arrangements for this matter until the Grand Tutor returns to visit his relatives? The reform of the military system is the top priority now!" Wei Liao, the Ministry of War, cleared the siege.

Once the title of Duke, Marquis, Bozinan, and the title of the civil and military officials will be re-designed, and these should be done by the Ministry of Rites. Moreover, Chen Xu, in addition to the prisoners of the Qin people, needs to be considered slowly. The title system proposed by Chen Xu to generals, gentry, craftsmen, civilians, merchants, slaves, etc., needs to be slowly considered. How much credit can be a baron, how much credit can be a marquis, and how much credit can be a marquis, you have to discuss more detailed operation plans, and it is inevitable that it is very difficult to obtain, let alone there is no rush to implement it.

Wei Liao's proposal was recognized by the First Emperor and all opposing officials, but in response to another strange "Medal Act" proposed by Chen Xu, everyone, including the emperor, felt inexplicably and at the same time, felt very novel.

Medals are a new concept, and have never been seen before. Chen Xu gave a simple explanation, which is to use gold, silver, copper and iron to make some nameplates with special significance to commend people who have also made significant contributions to the Qin Dynasty, not limited to the Qin Dynasty, but even foreigners.

There are a total of five medals drawn up by Chen Xu.

There are knight medals specifically for soldiers, divided into three levels to reward brave soldiers in combat. This is a means of transcending conventional military merit evaluation and awarded by the Ministry of War.

There are torch medals specifically for various innovative inventions, which are also divided into three levels and are awarded by the Academy of Sciences.

There are Blue Star Medals specially developed overseas, which are also divided into three levels and are awarded by the Shangshu Province.

There is a National Great Wall Medal specially issued for super contributors, which is awarded by the Secretariat.

Finally, there is an emperor's medal, which belongs to the emperor's privilege, and is granted to outstanding people who can be commended by the emperor's recognition beyond ordinary merits.

Wearing these medals on them shows a kind of honor. The people and officials need to treat them, and they are treated with special care and protection from the court. They enjoy priority arrangements when traveling or going to various government offices. In addition, they can also enjoy the rights of life exemption of family taxes and other rights.

Therefore, the recipient of the medal is not necessarily a noble, but he can enjoy treatment only that many nobles can receive. This is also an expanded supplement to the rewards of the stingy lord of the Qin Dynasty, in order to enhance the cohesion of the Qin Dynasty and stimulate the people's recognition of the Qin Dynasty.

This medal bill made the First Emperor very interested, and civil and military officials also very interested. The main reason is that several medals drawn by Chen Xu on the drawings look very interesting. The Knight Medal looks like a light shield, with two crossed long sword patterns on it, and one or three stars in the center representing the level of the medal, made of iron, copper and silver. The medal is hung on the chest on a daily basis. Anyone who sees the medal, whether it is a soldier or a general, must salute and show respect, which will greatly enhance the soldiers' sense of glory.

The Torch Medal Blue Star Medal is similar, both of which are made of silver, copper and iron, but the pattern is a burning torch and the other is a blue planet.

As for the national medals and emperor medals, the gold material is made of, and the pattern design is simple and elegant. One is the Great Wall relief pattern with the Bagua foundation, and the other is the portrait of the First Emperor with the sunlight.

These two medals are not intended to expand territory or make great contributions, but to a supreme honor recognized by the state and the emperor. The winner must at least reach the level of spiritual symbol at the national level.

For example, if the great thinker and educator Xunzi could survive until now, Chen Xu might suggest that the Secretariat of the Secretariat award a national medal.

Medals are different from lords. Lords can accumulate, but medals are a one-time reward. Lords can be relegated to inheritance, but medals can only be used as a kind of honor. When you are short of money... Well, you can sell them to support your family.

The First Emperor did not rush to promote such a special memorial, and also put it aside for the time being until Chen Xu came back before making arrangements.

After review by Emperor Qin Shi and discussion by the three provinces and six ministries, the memorials sent back by Chen Xu officially began to implement military system reform in mid-July.

The first to be hit is the 30,000 Western Army.

It is now autumn, and the First Emperor asked that 30,000 young soldiers be selected from the four barracks guarding the capital within one month to arrive at the Longxi barracks for unified training according to the new military system, convey the new military laws and military title bills, and then go and replace the two armies of Li Xin and Jiang Hu.

At the same time, the emperor formally issued an edict to grant Meng Tian the position of general with the rank of general, with three cavalry divisions under his jurisdiction, named the First Cavalry Division of the Great Qin, the Second Cavalry Division of the Great Qin and the Seventh Cavalry Division of the Great Qin. Each cavalry division has ten cavalry regiments under his jurisdiction. Li Xin and Jiang Hu were awarded the rank of lieutenant general and commanded the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Division respectively. Officers at all levels of the division will also grant new ranks and new titles according to the new military system. The former corps chiefs and 100 generals and lieutenants were all invalidated, and replaced by the squad and platoon companies and battalions.

In order to cooperate with the new military system reform, the numbers of the three cavalry divisions and subordinate regiment battalions will be embroidered on newly issued military uniforms and specially made metal nameplates. Therefore, Hongxing Enamel Factory, Jingyang Ordnance Factory, Liyang Military Uniform Factory and Machinery Factory were also ordered to start rushing to make new equipment and winter military uniforms.

In addition, Emperor Shi once again ordered the four county magistrates of the Inner Historian, Longxi and Hanzhong Hedong County lieutenants to select 30,000 young soldiers to join the fourth battalion of Guanzhong. At the same time, he required the four barracks to start implementing a new military system and implementing the new military law and military title bill. The four barracks were also named the Fourth Army directly under the Central Theater Command, with a total of eight divisions, named the First Guard Division of the Qin Guard Division to the Eighth Guard Division, and the battalions under their jurisdiction were also renamed, and each division also granted new military flags and numbers.

The counties and counties that were transferred to the lieutenant were recruited using the new military service law to recruit them for two years, and also began to reform the new military system. The county towns were established in the regiment system, with two to four battalions, and the county towns were established in the company system, with one to three companies.

The military system reform designed by Chen Xu is a linkage process. Local soldiers and the National Welfare Army are two completely different systems, and the military service system adopted is completely different. Therefore, once the new military system structure is implemented, it will be changed from the court to the local townships, and there are many things involved in the implementation. Therefore, this is also the reason why Chen Xu reminded the First Emperor to advance slowly. Otherwise, if the whole country is pushed open at the same time, the whole country will inevitably be in chaos.

In addition, there are a large number of retired soldiers who need to be properly arranged, so the military reform of the 30,000 soldiers of the Western Army alone has already made the entire court and countless officials busy fighting.

When the emperor and the civil and military officials of the court were busy in Xianyang, Chen Xu had already leisurely taken a group of wives, concubines and children to the south.

When he returned to Qinghe Town in May, it was because his sister Xing'er was about to get married, and another more important thing was to arrange for the next nine-year disaster. He needed to have a sufficient reason to avoid people's eyes and ears.

Since I followed Fusu to Beijing this year, I have been out for eight years. Chen Xu has only returned to Qinghe Town three times in total. The first time was to marry Shui Qingrou in advance, and the second time was to become the left prime minister. When I came back for the third time this year, my identity changed again and I have become the Grand Tutor.

The Grand Tutor suddenly returned to visit his relatives, and the whole of Nanyang was shocked. Therefore, although Chen Xu and his family walked quietly, when they arrived in Nanyang, the officials, celebrities, merchants and civilians who had been waiting thirty miles outside Wancheng for several days. Among them, there were many people who ran from various counties, towns and even Qinghe Town. After receiving Chen Xu, they beat drums and drums all the way to welcome him into Wancheng.

Faced with the enthusiasm of the fellow villagers, Chen Xu had no choice but to stay in the Qinghe Hotel in Wancheng for two days. He accepted the visits of Nanyang officials, gentry and merchants and hundreds of famous scholars, and then left Wancheng with gifts from big cars to return to Qinghe Town. When he passed by Zhi County, tens of thousands of people were crowded with the road to greet him, and stopped and inspected several factories opened near Zhi County. He also met local officials, gentry and business representatives. After observing and guiding, he returned to Qinghe Town with only two days left before the Dragon Boat Festival.

In order to celebrate the return of Grandmaster Chen, Qinghe Town held a grand festival celebration on the Dragon Boat Festival, held a large gathering, set off fireworks, and held a unique rowing and duck grabbing competition in Xiaoqinghe. Chen Xu also distributed a prize of 500 yuan, an enamel washbasin and a piece of flower soap for the top three contestants in the competition.

This grand and lively celebration not only excited the people in Qinghe Town, but even more than ten towns in Chi County, even the nearby county towns came to participate in this huge and lively celebration.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, Chen Xu and a group of wives and concubines personally made hundreds of rice dumplings, visited the lonely and widowed people in the town, the craftsmanship who made great contributions to the development of Qinghe Town, and several old masters in primary school teaching.
