Jia Xu does want to restore the military merit system.

As Liu Xie said, the system is to solve the problem. He wanted to restore the military merit system, because he wanted to establish the status of Liangzhou people in the court in the form of a system.

Military merits and titles are beneficial to the fierce and martial arts of Guanxi, which is a historical necessity in the Qin State. The decline of military merits and titles in this dynasty is also closely related to the Kanto people in power and the governance style of emphasizing culture over military forces.

relation.

The emperor's rise and fall from decline and attaches importance to military merits is a good opportunity to restore the military merit system.

Otherwise, once the world is peaceful, the chances of martial artists performing will be fewer, and the current good situation will be lost.

Unless it is established in the form of a system, even if the successor king wants to change it into a law, it will not be able to do it without a hundred years.

But his worries were real.

The emperor first relied on the people of Xiliang, but it was said that the Qin Dynasty had returned. The emperor had to repeatedly declare that he had no intention of subverting the Confucian school, and was anxious to promote Mencius's kingly theory. Later, he maintained the situation when he targeted the states in Kanto.

Restraint and no killing will be launched, which will relieve some people's worries.

After arriving in Nanyang, similar statements appeared again.

One of the reasons was that the emperor deprived Nanyang of his honor and gift as the imperial village, and in one breath he robbed more than a dozen heroes who revived Emperor Guangwu, because they did not perform the duties of the country when the emperor was in trouble.

There are plenty of reasons, but private criticism is still unavoidable.

Some people say that this is the emperor who wants to implement Qin's administration and destroys himself.

Under such circumstances, Jia Xu certainly was unwilling to use military merit titles, a system that obviously has the characteristics of Qin politics, to stimulate public opinion.

What he didn't expect was that the emperor seemed to have thought of this, and seemed to be more interested than him.

"Your Majesty means..."

Liu Xie smiled and raised his hand, indicating that Jia Xu should not be nervous.

He knew that Jia Xu had selfish intentions and wanted to fight for more and longer-term benefits for the people of Liangzhou, but he believed that Jia Xu's overall view would not harm the public with his own selfishness.

When Jia Xu was in charge of reforming the military system, he was always considering a related issue.

How to provide soldiers and craftsmen with equivalent identities as civil servants, especially those with middle and lower classes of soldiers, craftsmen, who are skilled but difficult to become officials.

What he thought of was the professional title rating system in later generations.

However, the professional title rating system also has a pain point: retirement benefits.

Professional titles are not only linked to the salary at work - now salary - but also to the retirement salary. This is a huge expense, and with current financial capabilities, I am afraid it cannot afford it.

The officials in the Qin and Han dynasties only had institutional retirement benefits of more than 2,000 shi, which was about one-third of the normal salary. There was no less than 2,000 shi. On the one hand, the system was not perfect enough and had not yet developed to this point.

On the one hand, the level of productivity is limited and the court cannot afford it.

If the scope is expanded to the middle and lower levels of soldiers, craftsmen, and middle and lower levels of officials must also be included. This fiscal expenditure may be the same as Sun Wukong's Somersault Cloud, which will increase by more than ten times in a row, and the finances will collapse suddenly.

Therefore, ideals are beautiful, reality is skinny, you must live within your means and not be hot-headed.

The military merit title mentioned by Jia Xu gave Liu Xie an inspiration.

Why can Qin unify the world? His military achievements are invaluable. To put it bluntly, it is to activate grassroots forces.

Although the methods are cruel. It is better to say that they are forced to live, ordinary people have no choice but to have military merits.

But the means can be discussed, but the ideas can be learned from them.

Military merits actually include two interests: one is real, that is, real interests such as land and houses; the other is virtual, such as etiquette brought by titles, high titles can be exempted from some etiquette constraints, including restrictions on clothing levels.

Taking this opportunity, he discussed this issue in depth with Jia Xu.

The problem must be solved, and he and Jia Xu have something in common.

But the problem he was thinking about was even bigger and more profound than Jia Xu's layout, not limited to Xiliang people, but not even soldiers.

Martial arts are just superficial, but pragmatism is the fundamental. Without the development of productivity, simple Martial arts will not go far, and will inevitably become a military force, and war will perish.

Liu Xie not only did not object, but also raised the problem to a higher level, and Jia Xu was surprised and happy.

The emperor is the emperor, and his vision is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

This also puts him more pressure.

If the Liangzhou people cannot take this opportunity to gain a foothold in the court, he will be a sinner forever.

Such emperors will not be often present, and it is not an exaggeration to have a single appearance in five hundred years.

Jia Xu felt that this matter was very important and he should not be in a hurry to achieve success, so he asked Liu Xie to give him more time to think.

As for how to arrange the soldiers under Zhang Ji, there is no need to be so anxious. As long as they know that the court has not forgotten them and is trying to solve the problem, the emotions of the relevant personnel will be comforted.

Besides, there is not much household registration now, and there is still a balance of land and houses, so it is still possible to solve the problems of some people.

Liu Xie agreed. He also felt that this matter should not be hasty and had to be carefully calculated.

He doesn't want to do it or can't do it when he slaps his head in advance and then slaps his butt.

——

After Jia Xu met the emperor, he quickly passed on the emperor's arrangement to Zhang Ji.

As he expected, although Zhang Ji failed to get a definite answer, he knew that the emperor and Jia Xu had the sincerity to solve the problem and were working hard for it, so he accepted the reality.

Zhang Ji immediately gave a message to see him.

When the king and his subjects met again, they were all sighing when they saw each other's changes.

Liu Xie not only became taller and stronger, but also had the spirit of a hero who looked down on the world. In contrast, Zhang Ji became fat, his hair was half white, and his eyes were mostly less hostile, leaving only some greed and cunning.

Even these things were hidden well, leaving only a little unserious kindness.

After some half-true and half-false courtesy, the two of them sat down.

Zhang Ji began to tell his experiences over the years, from following the imperial edict to fight in Nanyang, to march into Jiangling, to breaking Yizhou, one by one, one by one, never tire of it, and every detail.

Before meeting him, Jia Xu and Zou both reminded him in different ways that his official position would not be promoted until now. At most, he would have to add a little more fief. Taking credit on himself is not only not good, but he would also

It makes the emperor feel threatened and disappoints his subordinates.

Instead of doing this, it is better to push the credit to the subordinates, which not only makes the emperor feel that he is humble and cautious, but also allows his subordinates to be promoted. Thank him for his support and repay his kindness in the future.

Therefore, he gave the credit for overall coordination to Ding Chong, and the credit for breaking Yizhou to Sun Ce and Huang Zu. He also praised Pang Tong and Zhou Yu, who were educating military affairs under the imperial edict. The local governance was promoted to the credit for the local government.

Give a group of Jingzhou officials, such as Huanjie, Changsha native, Dong He, Nanjun native, and some Yizhou natives.

Liu Xie listened very seriously and took notes to record a few names of people that Zhang Ji emphasized, saying that he would definitely promote them in the future and let them know that this was the credit for Zhang Ji's recommendation.

Zhang Ji was satisfied and finally expressed his ambitions, although Lian Po was old and had ambitions, and expressed his willingness to serve the emperor.

Liu Xie expressed his gratitude and immediately announced the edict.

Zhang Ji was transferred to Zuli County Marquis with a fief of 3,000 households.
