Chapter eight hundred and eighty fifth: The cabinet and meritorious deeds
Exchange sincerity for sincerity.
Since Wu Nian launched his army, many old men have lost their sons, many women have lost their husbands, and many children have lost their fathers.
This time Wu Nian launched a war of annihilation and annihilated Goguryeo in one fell swoop. The war in Goguryeo was relatively smooth, but Liaodong suffered numerous casualties under the siege of the Mongolian, Yuan, Chu and Fusang kingdoms.
But after the people buried their sons, husbands, and fathers, they continued to support Wu Nian.
Of course it's not because the pension given by Wu Nian is generous. No matter how much money is spent, it can't buy a life. It's just because they support Wu Nian.
Just because they support Wu Nian.
Even if a generation is wiped out, we still have to fight.
Just not to be a second-class citizen, just to act like a strong man.
On the main road of Jiangcheng, large numbers of soldiers lined up on both sides to maintain order. However, the people did not riot. They just stood, slightly lowering their heads and respectfully watching Wu Nian's car drive by. After they gradually moved away, they
Raise your head and then disperse.
E Niang, E Qin, and Li Jinzhu were sitting in the same carriage. E Niang and E Qin were not interested. Li Jinzhu stretched out his thin white hands to lift the curtain and looked at the people outside the window.
"The people's hearts are as strong as a rock." Li Jinzhu's pink face showed a solemn expression.
The strength of the Han Dynasty was not only its army, but also its people. With such an army and people, why worry about the failure of great things? She remembered her ambition to annex Liaodong, and launched a war for this purpose. In the end, the country perished and was captured, and became the favored concubine of the harem in the year of Wu.
I felt so stupid at the time.
"Hey." Li Jinzhu let out a long sigh and lowered the car curtain lonely.
Who wants to be a beloved concubine if she can be the Queen Mother?
It's regret after all.
When they arrived at the Fu Han General's Mansion, Wu Nian asked Zhang Zhen and Lu Yanxun to lead Li Jinzhu, E Qin and E Niang into the inner house from the side to see Liu Xiang.
A large number of eunuchs, palace maids, beautiful ladies, etc. who came with them temporarily stayed in the camp outside the city until the palace in the inner city was completed.
"Your Majesty."
In the front yard, Liu Zhixing, Wang Youxiao and Li Yong led hundreds of officials from six rooms and bowed to Wu Nian.
"Excuse me." Wu Nian held up his hands and said "Excuse me." Then he said: "During my absence, the situation was dangerous. Thank you for your hard work."
"The king's words are serious. This is what we should do." Liu Zhixing, as the leader of the officials, stood up and said with his hands in hand.
After compensating the officials, Wu Nian asked the middle and lower-level officials to leave. Only the three ministers, the owner of the sixth house, Cui Wushuang, Zhang Haiping and other important ministers entered the main room and sat down.
Wu Nian looked up at everyone and nodded with satisfaction.
Although the Han Dynasty was small, it had nine mansions. The temples were so high that they had all the internal organs.
"I won't ask about the establishment of the official system. How about rewards based on merit?" Wu Nian asked.
Liu Zhixing was already prepared. He took out a booklet from his sleeve, stood up and handed it to Wu Nian, then returned to his seat and sat down.
Wu Nian unfolded the folder and took a look.
The hero in the first row is Chen Guogong Li Yong.
Then there are Fenyang Gongzhangjin.
Wuyang Gonglongqie.
The title system of the Han Dynasty basically copied that of the Chu State. The first rank was the Duke of the State, and the second rank was the Duke of the County.
Li Yong is the Duke of the country.
Zhang Jin and Long Qie were respectively the Dukes of the county.
The next level is the prince.
There are Tieniu, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, Li Tianbao, Wang Youxiao, Feng Chong, Zhao Yanting, Zhang Haiping and Lu Sheng.
The next level is County Marquis.
Regarding Jin Han, Liu Wu, Huang Hu, Chen Jiagui and other fifteen people.
The next level is County Bo.
There are thirteen people including Zhao Mancheng, Li Yunchong, Lu Liuliang and so on.
The next level is county.
There are nine people.
The next level is the county boy.
There are twenty-one people.
They were all given iron certificates of elixirs and allowed hereditary succession. Those who had made great contributions would be given titles of honorary officials at the same time.
For example, Li Yong's official position is.
You Zhuguo, Chen Guogong Li Yong.
The number of people is a bit large, but there is nothing we can do about it. The establishment of a country cannot rely solely on national sentiments.
As the saying goes, if you learn civil and martial arts, your goods will belong to the emperor's family. If others sacrifice their lives for you, if you don't give others any benefits, who will sacrifice their lives for you?
There are many people like Zhao Yanting.
Although Feng Chong was loyal, he was also extremely concerned about fame and fortune.
He dreamed that one day he would be able to invade the capital of Chu and return home in rich clothes.
Therefore, every king who founded a country must bestow great titles on him to win over people's hearts. He is relatively rare here.
But later, due to various reasons, the title will be revoked by the successor king.
Because raising these princes will cost the national finance.
However, Wu Nian carefully looked at the clothes, houses, gold, silver, utensils, and annual salary given later, and nodded with satisfaction.
Liu Zhixing was still very pragmatic. These titles were very prestigious and allowed future generations to inherit and replace them. However, the salary given was relatively low.
For example, Chen Guogong Li Yong gave Lumi one thousand dan per year, which is more than 100,000 kilograms of grain.
Wu Nian was very satisfied with the list of meritorious officials, but also very dissatisfied. He raised his head and said to everyone: "I explained it in Goguryeo. To be able to be where I am today, Liu Zhi is the first in meritorious service. Why is he not there?"
Wu Nian looked at Liu Zhixing.
Everyone was dumbfounded and did not speak. Liu Zhixing was about to speak. Wu Nian shook his head and said, "Rewarding meritorious officials shows loyalty. You can make both wise and foolish people available to me. This is your honor and what I should do."
"Long history has made great contributions through hard work. In the past, the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty rewarded Xiao He with the first meritorious service. Long history. My Xiao He is also a special gift to Zuozhuguo, the British Duke, and an annual salary of 1,500 stones."
"In addition, the Wei Xiaowei has outstanding military exploits and has fought more than a hundred battles. He is specially awarded to the Princess of Zhou. The eldest grandson of General Wei Changqing is given the title of Junhou, which is hereditary."
Liu Zhixing originally wanted to say that he was ashamed, but he saw that Wu Nian had said so and his attitude was firm. If he refused again, it would appear that he was hypocritical, so he could only give him a bow.
"Where are the civil and military positions?" After Wu Nian decided, he raised his head and asked Liu Zhixingdao.
Liu Zhixing took out another booklet from his sleeve, stood up and handed it to Wu Nian. He bent down and said, "The civil servants in all ministries imitated the Chu state, and the military attachés customized it based on the national conditions."
"As for who will join the cabinet, let the general decide."
"Yeah." Wu Nian hummed, unfolded the folding book and looked at it.
Particularly familiar ones include.
Wang Youxiao, the censor of Zuodu of the Inspectorate.
Gongsun Sang, the Minister of Household Affairs.
Cui Wushuang, left minister of the Ministry of Rites
Lu Sheng, Governor of Youyan.
Zhang Haiping, governor of Yingqing Prefecture.
Cheng Yulian, the prefect of Guangyang.
etc.
As for the military attache, that's more interesting.
Guarding ten thousand households is a third-grade official position.
The lieutenants are promoted to generals, in charge of ten thousand households, and are ranked second rank. They are basically the top of the military generals.
Commanding tens of thousands of households, for example, the official position of admiral is the second rank.
This official position is not set up regularly, it is set up temporarily and can be abolished when necessary. For example, Li Tianbao is responsible for coordinating the navy and fighting against the Fuso Navy.
In addition, the Dudu's Mansion was set up in the middle of the court, which basically had no power, but was used to support the elderly. That is, after generals with outstanding military exploits retired, they came to serve in the Dudu's Mansion.
The left and right governors are all from the first rank.
Based on this list, Wu Nian thought for a long time before he raised his head and said to everyone: "With Liu Zhixing as the first assistant, Li Yong as the second assistant, Zhang Haiping will be removed from the Yin official position in Yingqing Prefecture and join the cabinet."
