Chapter 319
"Not bad." Yang Jian nodded. This new system of sanguan is indeed better and more practical than before. He was very interested in Yi Feng's idea that in the army, in the battle formation, he would make the military rank of sanguan more intuitive.
"I plan to set the ranks of Wusan official into a set of symbols and patterns, and the 32th level four levels are marked with different beasts and colors. For example, the first-grade marshal uses the kirin as the marking pattern, the first-grade marshal is the golden kirin, and the first-grade marshal uses the silver kirin from the first-grade marshal. The second-grade marshal uses the lion, the third-grade cheetah, the fourth-grade cheetah, the fifth-grade bride, the sixth-grade buckle, the seventh-grade ox, the eighth-grade ox, and the ninth-grade horse, and then use gold, silver, bronze, black iron as the top, straight down, from top, and from bottom. The generals' military uniforms and armor can add a beast-grade rank patch to the front and back of the chest, and in addition, the shoulders of some beasts can be stamped according to the steps..."
Yi Feng said, and took a simple pencil and started painting in front of Yang Jian, drawing Yang Jian's clothes, civil and military beasts, and epaulettes, etc.
Yang Jian nodded repeatedly while looking. This arrangement is indeed much more three-dimensional and clear. Especially the beast patches and epaulettes of Wusan official. According to King Zhao, when the battle formation is said, there will inevitably be disruption, and the officers and subordinates are easily dispersed. At this time, there is no need to worry about the establishment positions, and directly use the highest military rank as the commander to reorganize the formation, form a temporary new system, and continue to fight. After the war, it is good to return to the establishment system. Although Yang Jian has never fought a war, he is not an outsider for military affairs. When he heard this, he thinks this idea is very good. Generally speaking, the army is marked by the banner, commanding operations, or collecting troops, and all are based on the flag. But if this Wusan official rank system is added, it is undoubtedly a better supplement.
"Okay, okay, I didn't expect you to have such good suggestions. Tell me quickly, do you have any other good suggestions? Tell me all at once."
Seeing that Yang Jian was very happy, Yi Feng couldn't help but feel excited. He smiled and said, "Back to the Supreme, I have some ideas about the reform of the official system. However, many of them are not mature yet. I dare not take out the others first. There are only a few not too mature ones who report to Your Majesty first."
"In general, it is the rank of scattered officials, and the honorary officials are promoted."
The honorary officer system took shape later than the sanguan system. It started in the fourth year of Jiande, Northern Zhou Dynasty. At that time, the military officers who had made great contributions in combat were rewarded in the name of the commander of the government system. Later, it gradually became a sanctuary for the vassal of the court, and until the Tang Dynasty, the honorary officer gradually became an honorary addition, without actual positions. In general, it gradually changed from the initial real-weight position to an honorary addition. Now the imperial court has eleven levels of honorary officials.
,The State of Shangzhu, the State of Zhu, the General, the General, the General, the State of Kaifu Yitong, the Third Division, the State of Kaifu Yitong, the Third Division, the State of Shangyi Tong, the Third Division, the State of Yitong, the Third Division, the State of Yitong, the General, the General. From the First-rank Shangzhu to the State of the Seventh-rank, the General. This system of honorary officials has a louder name than the other. It is very distinctive in the names of official positions during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It is that it is tall and superior. Even if it is just a small leader with dozens of people, it can still have a general, a governor, or a title like that.
Yi Feng now suggests that he should be directly given this awesome honorary system to the gods. He will be completely honored and become a title without real jobs. It is best to directly turn him into honorary titles such as special heroes, combat heroes, etc.
The honorary officials have no honor since the Sui Dynasty, and by the Tang and Song Dynasties, they have completely become dispensable honorary titles. Therefore, Yi Feng also took out the mature honorary system of later without any pressure.
"The state of Shangzhu, the state of Zhu, the state of Shanggu, the army of Shanggu, the commander of Shanglight, the commander of Qingche, the commander of Qingche, the commander of Shangqi, the commander of Shangqi, the commander of Xiuwu, the commander of Baoyi, and the commander of Jinyi, a total of twelve turns, and the number of officials of the honor is the most important." One level more than the original, and the commander, the commander, the commander, and the commander of Shangqi were all changed, and even the three commanders were directly changed. In the first place, it was because the commander and the commander overlapped with the existing names of the officers in the army. It would be better to change these names.
The twelve reigns of the medals, and the number of reigns is the most important. In the future, this system of medals will be equivalent to a pure merit system, equivalent to a medal in later generations. Even if you get a medal in the Shangzhu Kingdom, it will be equivalent to getting an August 1st medal, which is extremely honorable, but it only represents honor and has no real power. It is the general of the Zhu Kingdom in the Western Wei Dynasty, the Shangzhu Kingdom in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and even the Shangzhu Kingdom in the early Sui Dynasty, etc., which are only the same names, but in fact they are completely different.
In a certain way, the honorization of Yi Feng's honorary officials is equivalent to destroying bridges for the large number of honorary officials inherited from the past few dynasties. In this way, the honorary officials who were still valuable are like paper money after a great depreciation, and there is only a little commemorative value left in an instant and can no longer be fulfilled.
"What do Xumi have any reform ideas for officials and titles?" Yang Jian did not expect that the emperor's grandson had such a kind of inspiration in his heart in advance, and he was really overjoyed at the moment.
"Your Majesty, I think that everything must not be impatient. You must take it step by step. Haste will not be achieved. You should first make steady progress and then seek development." Yi Feng certainly had his own ideas about the reform of the official system, but he also knew that the official system is actually an important foundation of the court, and it is affected by too many people's interests. If one is not good, it may cause a rebound from countless people who have suffered losses. If it is not good, it will cause chaos. In history, reforms have been made, no matter whether it is big or small, it is not the case. Therefore, Yi Feng had to pour some cold water on Yang Jian. Take it step by step, take one step and take another step. There is no need to make too hurry, and the chaos will not be controlled by the time of the time. He believed that Yang Jian was a sensible person, otherwise he would not have been making some adjustments slowly over the years, and there were no drastic reform measures, especially when it involved the core interests of the Guanlong Group, he was even more careful.
"It's really a big mistake to be careful. I'm a little too anxious for a while. Well, I'll first implement the adjustments and changes of the scattered officials and the honorary officials, and the rest will remain unchanged for the time being."
"I have no objection." Yi Feng bowed and replied. The officialization of the rank of scattered officials actually does not harm those who gain benefits. It is just a reduction in salary. But for the Guanlong Group, the official salary is actually just a very small part of their income. Reducing the salary is not as good as the root of Jiuniu. The changes of the honorary officials have some impact. But as long as the most important point, the reform of the honorary officials does not immediately involves the children and grandchildren of the honorary officials to take office by this, it is not a big deal. For the court, there is no need to be in place in one step. Even the qualification of the honorary officials to inherit the imperial examination will be immediately cancelled, and things can be done step by step.
Yi Feng made several more suggestions, but they were all very clever and did not involve the core things. First, he proposed that schools should be established in Youzhou Grand General Administration District, especially in Sanfan Jimizhou, north of Yanshan, to promote Chinese culture such as Chinese dialect and Chinese characters. Yang Jian also waved his hand and even said very generously that the court could pay a special amount for this content.
In addition, Yi Feng asked Yang Jian to establish a commercial market in Sanfan and open a ban on trade goods in the original border market. His reason was that since Sanfan is now a prefecture and county under the command of the Sui Dynasty, there is naturally no need to treat it as an enemy's defense. The original trade ban on commodities can be lifted. Yang Jian just pondered for a while and agreed. He knew that Yang Lin made a lot of money in border trade on the border, but he also knew that Yang Lin had used this money to build a Wuzhou army himself and defeated the Tiel people's invasions in succession. He also pulled Sanfan to the court, and all this did not cost the court a penny.
Yang Jian thought for a while and said, "After you return to Youzhou this time, you have a heavy burden. You must not only clean up and rectify the Youzhou prefectures in a short period of time. You must also prepare for the war to defend the enemy and assist the King of Jin in this battle. At the critical moment, you must send troops to assist the King of Jin, and if necessary, you must intercept the Goguryeo people. I think you can ask the Yuan family and the Li family more to help. I heard that Shude also plans to go to Youzhou with you?"
"Duke Tang was determined to serve the country. A few days ago, he specially recommended himself to his ministers and prepared to go to the border to serve." Yi Feng replied honestly.
"Shude is the son of the queen's sister. He is still your cousin. Although he has been staying in Beijing for many years, he has good abilities. If he is willing to go to the border with you to make contributions, you can bring him with him."
"Your Majesty is wise." Yi Feng complimented. With the emperor speaking, he took the initiative to ask him to take the Yuan family, Li Changya family and Li Yuan family to Youzhou, which was a great help to him. The Yuan family is his uncle's family, and now the Li Bi family is considered his wife's family. Such a relationship is the most trustworthy in today's era.
"I also want to ask Your Majesty for an imperial edict."
"But it's okay."
"Your Majesty will issue an edict to allow Weichen to recruit people in Youzhou to voluntarily go to Youzhou border areas to voluntarily and grant land to equip land to guard the border. Allow people who are affiliated with the people who are in the inner ranks, regardless of their ethnicity, to grant land." The territory under the jurisdiction of Youzhou General General, except for the few states near Youzhou that belong to plain areas, other states are on the border line, and most of them are mountainous areas with sparse populations. Yi Feng knew that if he wanted to develop, it was not enough to rely solely on the original Huaihuang model. While continuing to operate commerce, he also had to equip land to equip land and reclaim land. At the same time, he had to recruit people to equip land to equip land to equip land and cultivate the border. He knew that the thoughts of many people at this time were the most important. Many soldiers in Huaihuang were born and died.
After earning a lot of military merits and rewards, most people took the money back to their hometown to buy land. With land, there was roots, and without land, it was difficult for them to really take root. Therefore, Yi Feng also planned that in the future, he would not be able to reward money, but also reward land with military merits, so that these soldiers could really take root and regard it as their own home. In addition, the population of the court has increased greatly, and many places in the heart of the Central Plains have long had no equal land. Many newly-grown people could no longer share the land. Therefore, Yi Feng planned to take advantage of the advantage of Youzhou's large amount of wasteland to reclaim land and go to the south to recruit people without land to Youzhou Prefecture, divide the land and reclaim wasteland for them, let them immigrate to Youyan, enrich the foundation of Youyan, and expand their strength.
"Immigration and distribution of land is a good thing. I am afraid that the people will not be able to leave their hometowns. Moreover, if they want to immigrate, it will be a considerable expense for many people, and it is not easy to move their families." Yang Jian shook his head.
Yi Feng also shook his head stubbornly. In this era, population is the key, and food is also the key. Without population, there is no need to talk about development or wealth. In the past, he was able to develop in the pure business model in the area outside Huaihuang, a corner of the Forbidden City, but when he became the chief general of Youzhou, this model already had many shortcomings. "As long as your Majesty is willing to issue an order and allow voluntary people to relocate, then other things can be fully undertaken by Youzhou Prefecture. We will organize the relocation and settle their homes for them, divide the land for them, rent grain seeds and plow oxen, etc., and even provide them with a relocation and settlement fee and travel fee."
Seeing Yi Feng persisting so much, Yang Jian smiled and said, "If you can really do what you said, then I naturally have no reason to refuse. I can even issue another decree, and all the people who voluntarily relocate to Youyan border will be exempted from rent and transfer for the first three years, and the mediocre who work for twenty days a year can also be reduced by half."
"Your Majesty is wise." Yi Feng was overjoyed. If he could get two such edicts, the plan to recruit people would have been mostly successful.
Yang Jian was also very happy that at the beginning of the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, the equal-field system was established as the basic national system of the state. It was precisely through the equal-field system that the court could quickly win the support of the people. In recent years, the country was too stable and its national strength steadily increased. Only then did it have a peaceful and prosperous era. However, it has been eighteen years since its founding. The population of the imperial court has increased by nearly three times compared with the beginning of the founding of the country, and now it has reached nearly 50 million people. According to the equal-state system at the beginning of the founding of the country, many prosperous and wealthy places have no land to be granted. This has led to many new problems. You must know that many basic systems of the imperial court were formulated based on the equal-field system. For example, the rent-in-law system of this tax system is precisely because every student can have land to divide. Therefore, every student needs to pay rent-in-law to the court. If the land is not divided, it will be difficult to pay rent-in-law again. More problems will arise.
Now Yi Feng proposed that people who had no land to divide the prosperous areas of the Central Plains to recruit and relocate land to divide land and reclaim land, which is naturally a good thing. However, it was difficult for the court to implement such a strategy before, because relocation and settlement required a large amount of money and investment. In addition, reclaiming wasteland also requires a lot of capital investment, and the scale of relocation cannot be small, which means little to the entire court. But if the scale is large, the investment will be too large. The court is rich, but it is impossible to invest a lot of money and grain to implement this plan when it is not the most urgent need to relocate. But now Yi Feng is willing to bear these costs and is willing to take charge of this work, Yang Jian is naturally happy to see it. He can just take a look at Yi Feng's actions, just treat it as an experiment. If Yi Feng's strategy is feasible, then he will increase his efforts and expand the scale.
Yi Feng also knew clearly that the complexity of this work was very high, but if Youzhou wanted to develop and his power was strengthened, there was only this way. Although this would be a great investment, Yi Feng felt that he would not lose money. He would give more loans to the relocated people and subsidize some moving and settlement and travel expenses. But when they arrived in Youzhou, they settled down and then reclaimed the fields, and he would have a golden rooster that would keep laying eggs.
After several consecutive days of snow and sunny days, the 18th year of Kaihuang finally passed and the new year has arrived.
On the first day of the first day, the Emperor held the Grand Court in the Shuanggu Court outside the Chengtian Gate. The imperial court gathered in the court, as well as officials from all over the capital, all entered the palace to join the Grand Court. From Chengtian Gate to the gate of the imperial city, more than 3,000 officials of all sizes participated in the grand ceremony, and hundreds of envoys from all over the country came to participate. Yi Feng also stood at the rank of the emperor that day to attend the meeting. However, although the Grand Court was large in scale, it was actually just a grand ceremony and was not really a matter of discussion. The entire dynasty would have a complete set of rules. Yi Feng and thousands of monarchs and ministers followed the process prepared by the officials of the Ministry of Rites and worshiped step by step. The entire dynasty was quite complicated, and Yi Feng felt like tens of thousands of people were performing a large-scale live performance.
After the Zhengdan Dynasty, Yi Feng chose a day and invited Zong Zheng Fengqing. His partner, Yang Xiong, the King of Qingzhang, to come forward. As the representative of the man, he officially sent a bride to the Princess's Mansion of Xiangguo. This was the fourth step in a complicated royal wedding, which was to give a bride. Before, the emperor had given a marriage, Yi Feng also invited a representative to go to the place to propose marriage. After obtaining the consent, he asked the matchmaker to come to ask Wu Chou'er's name and birth date. After this etiquette, Yi Feng realized that this wife who had not passed the door was nickname Wu Chou'er and her name was Sujun, but her boudoir name was Li Liyi. After the name and bride were brought back, he went to divination specifically. After everything went smoothly and auspicious, he invited the King of Qingzhang to come to the place to give a bride today.
Yi Feng gave him a lot of garments. Although in this era, as long as he did not take a concubine but married a wife, the richer the family, the more dowry the daughter would prepare when she got married. However, the emperor personally gave the marriage to the couple who were engaged this time. The man was the eldest grandson of Zhao, Qiansui, and the chief general of Youzhou. Not only did he have a fief of ten thousand households, but he also had 10,000 mu of Yongye land rewarded by the emperor in Youyan land. Moreover, even without these fiefs and Yongye land, everyone in the world knew that this King Zhao was one of the top rich people of the Sui Dynasty. The woman also had an extraordinary background. Not to mention the emperor's niece, the Li family was also one of the eight pillar countries. This time, he chose the marriage to King Zhao for the emperor, and was specially named Princess of Heyang County, and was given 5,000 households in Tang Mu, 10,000 mu of Yongye land, and countless gold, silver and silk slaves.
The newly-elected princess Li Liyi of Heyang County was full of happiness at this time. The King of Zhao was very polite to her and the gifts she sent were extremely rich. She even wrote a few affectionate poems to her. The whole family of Li was even more satisfied with this marriage, and everyone praised her future son-in-law. The people of the Li family even wanted to marry the young lady to the King of Zhao's mansion immediately, so as not to have to wait for more than half a year.
However, Li Liyi could not marry into the Zhao Prince's Mansion immediately, but the Li family already regarded the Zhao Prince as their own family. Yi Feng invited the Li family's children to work in Youzhou, and they all agreed without hesitation.
Li Changya sat in the hall personally, holding a wolf hair in her hand and registered the names of the children of the clan who were willing to work in Youzhou with King Zhao.
"Uncle, please remember my nephew's name too." A young voice came from the outside.
Li Changya looked up and saw that it was Li Mi, the nephew of the eldest wife.
"Da Lord, aren't you studying at home? Why did you decide to follow King Zhao to Youzhou!?"
"Well, I'm going to Youzhou!" Li Mi nodded and responded, with a firm look and a solemn tone.
"Okay, you're the one." Li Changya was a little surprised, but finally nodded, picked up her pen and wrote the word Li Mi on the white paper. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
