Chapter 425
"This is forcing people to get military merit to absolve themselves of crime." Han Qinhu heard this and looked at her with his sword eyebrows slightly raised.
"That's right." Hong Lianshuo looked at him calmly and said.
"We are lazy and lazy, cheating and slipping. Although we won't break the law, we will be despised." Jiang Shuisheng said without thinking when he heard this.
"Did you see it?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with surprise in his eyes and said, "That's the difference. There is punishment, but there is no harsh punishment."
"Everything is one and the same, and with such a harsh punishment, the whole people can be unified and efficient." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with his deep and bright eyes and said, "In the face of absolute rules, there is no freedom. Of course, no one in this world wants to
You can do whatever you want, we are all restricted."
"That's true. They say that once you become the emperor, you can do whatever you want?" Jiang Shuisheng nodded and said, "But I don't think the emperor is in a good position either." He snorted coldly, "Humph! Not good.
Making decisions for the people is what they deserve."
"So! Freedom is relative." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with his eyes like thick black ink and said, "Everyone must be bound by ethics and laws."
"Now I somewhat understand the strictness of Qin's law. If I didn't do this, I would have been swallowed up by the Six Kingdoms long ago." Han Qinhu looked at her with ginger brown eyes and said.
"So sometimes you can't judge good or bad purely from your point of view." Hong Lianshuo's glazed Tong Ren looked at them and said, "In the final analysis, it is still appropriate and agrees with the situation of Qin State at that time."
"If you break the law, you are encouraged to use military merit to atone for it." Lin Nanzheng turned his eyes to look at her and said, "Only military merit!"
"Yes!" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with bright eyes and said, "This system of military titles, which allows people to judge heroes based on their military merits, has created a powerful army for the Qin State that can sweep through the six countries!"
"The king often awarded titles to nobles and meritorious officials, and used titles of different levels to express the identity and status of nobles or meritorious officials. Jue was originally just a drinking vessel. The ancients had a sequence of honor and inferiority when drinking wine, thus dividing the title of nobility.
The function of hierarchy, the title gradually evolved into a distinction of status." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with bright eyes and said, "The feudal system in the pre-Qin period and the hereditary clan system, the enfeoffment system and other systems are mutually exclusive.
Land, where there is land, there are people. For example, in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the dukes and marquises were the monarchs of the feudal country, and all the taxes and money bags in the feudal country belonged to them. Later, the feudal princes also had a certain amount of food, but they did not collect it themselves.
It was allocated by the dynasty. The recipients of titles during this period were only royal nobles, and the rewards were based on the distance of the clan blood relationship."
"But this blood relationship is not solid." Hong Lianshuo looked at them sarcastically and said, "We are all the emperor's sons, why can't I do it! Once the old emperor dies, why should my children and grandchildren have to kneel to the new emperor! All of them!
It’s of royal blood, this is unfair.”
Hong Lianshuo looked at them with clear eyes and said, "So the eldest son's inheritance system ensures the smooth transition of power to the greatest extent, even if the eldest son is mediocre."
"The endless debate over the establishment of the chief minister and the establishment of the virtuous man will not lead to a military confrontation, which will greatly damage the vitality of the empire." Lin Nanzheng looked at them with deep eyes and said, "Many of those who are now kings and hegemons in the Central Plains are heirs.
Choose well, brothers will fight against each other."
"Our emperor, whose head was beheaded by Sangong, is dedicated to Yi Di because he stole the throne from his brother." Han Qinhu took a deep breath and said.
"During the Warring States Period, the world was in chaos and wars broke out. If the vassal states did not want to die and the country was destroyed, they had to enrich the country and strengthen the army in order to win in the cruel annexation war. The needs of the war forced the vassal states to carry out reforms and adopt the following methods one after another
The new system of conferring titles based on military merit and merit, gives titles to talented and meritorious people, and encourages them to serve for themselves. This is the military title system. This method of rewarding merit is different from the old way of rewarding people for their merits.
There is a fundamental difference between the salary system and the salary system. It no longer uses family ties as the criterion for rewards, so it uses merit as the criterion for rewards." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with his unwavering black eyes and continued, "Due to the implementation of the military merit system, all countries have received rewards to varying degrees.
It has the effect of enriching the country and strengthening the army. Moreover, whichever country has a more complete and reasonable military merit system will have a higher combat effectiveness of its army."
"And Qin has the highest combat effectiveness." Jiang Shuisheng looked at them with bright eyes and said, "Because he executes the plan most thoroughly."
"Yes! The military merit system established by the Qin State is the most typical, most complete, and most thoroughly implemented." Hong Lianshuo nodded happily, looked at them with gentle eyes and said, "Guess which country has the first military merit award?"
"Does this need to be said? Of course it is Qin, it is the winner!" Jiang Shuisheng said without thinking.
"It's really not the case." Lin Nanzheng looked at him with a smile and said, "The Wei State was the first country among the countries to carry out reforms, and it was also the first to implement military merit and nobility. Therefore, in the early Warring States Period, the Wei State was powerful and dominated for a while. The Chu State started from Wu.
After the reform and implementation of the military merit-based title system, within a few years, the country "pacified Baiyue in the south, merged with Chen and Cai in the north, conquered the three Jin Dynasties, and attacked Qin in the west", and the country's power increased greatly. In the Yan State, there was also a saying that "a young man should not be granted a title without merit" and "do not use salary for personal gain"
It is a system of military merit and title awarded to those who have made more contributions to their relatives."
"Then why didn't they succeed?" Jiang Shuisheng asked curiously.
"Because it can't be implemented!" Hong Lianshuo said simply, "Do you remember Bai Qi attacking Chu? Why did the people of Chu help Bai Qi."
"I remember." Jiang Shuisheng said with clear eyes, "There is no strict implementation from top to bottom."
"The transfer of official titles is commensurate with the merit of beheading. The number of enemies killed is used as the criterion for reward." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with his deep black eyes and said, "Those with higher titles will be rewarded more heavily, those with lower titles will be rewarded less, and for soldiers, those with higher titles will be rewarded lightly.
The reward is lower than that of an officer."
Han Qinhu's brown Tongren danced with flames and said, "It is recorded in "Book of Shang Jun: Territory" that an army can behead 8,000 enemies when attacking a city and beheading 2,000 enemies in a field battle. It is considered a full meritorious service. A full victory is achieved.
Generals at all levels of the army who have made great achievements can receive rewards." He said with some excitement, "The specific rewards are: from Gongshi to Daliang Zao, all are given a first-level title, and for generals, and for Participating and Imperial Officers, they are given a third-level title. The newly selected titles are five-level officials.
There are three hundred households in the tax town; those who are the fifth official have a tax town of six hundred households to receive guests. The high nobles above the chief concubine have three hundred households in the tax town and three hundred households in the tax office."
Nunu said again, "It is not difficult to see that there are strict hierarchical boundaries in conferring titles. Among them, the fifth official is a watershed. Above the fifth official, the reward is heavy, and below the fifth official is lightly rewarded. Taxes, taxes, towns, and guests are all highly rewarded.
Only those with a title of five or above can enjoy it."
"What about those without titles?" Jiang Shuisheng asked curiously.
