Man Chong brought his own code with him when he came. For some reason, when the messenger found him, he suddenly had a feeling that it was finally time for his hard work to be promulgated. This feeling, like a whim, made him not believe it. I just felt that Man Chong picked up the code of law.
Seeing Man Chong, who looked like a black-faced judge, appearing at the door, Jia Xu and others were frightened. This was almost a physiological instinct.
Although Jia Xu and the others had basically never messed around, they had a bad feeling when they saw Man Chong blocking the door, the sun shining on Man Chong's back, the shadows coming in, and the Government Affairs Office going dark.
"Bo Ning, you're here." Jia Xu said with a smile.
Jia Xu, a ruthless character like Man Chong who makes people feel paralyzed by the sight of him, is not used to being in contact with him. It's too cold and the other person seems to have crawled out of a coffin. You can feel it when standing next to you. Due to the air-conditioning and the absence of Liu Ye, Man Chong was completely reduced to a piece of ice.
"Here we come." Man Chong raised his hand and forced a smile to a few people. His whole face twitched as if it was cramped, and then there was no movement. Lu Su and the other three people couldn't help but feel something in their hearts. Down.
The three of them all made an ugly smile, and then made a gesture of invitation. They were all cursing in their hearts, what does it mean to be born from the heart? This guy just had "irrelentless" written on his face.
After confirming that Man Chong had successfully produced the entire code, Jia Xu and Li You were completely relieved. The rest depended on their performance. This time, all the internal aristocratic families would be tied to the chariot.
At least in the future, there must be no situation where the forces under his rule are not of the same mind as Liu Bei. This is the current goal that must be achieved. Only by internal unification and a complete end to internal strife can we better conduct external wars.
"Has your lord reviewed it?" Li You flipped through it casually. Among the more than a hundred laws, there are several that can be felt to be different from other laws in the lines. Compared with Man Chong's ruthlessness, pure In the legal system, some regulations are more humane.
"It's been reviewed." Man Chong's face was expressionless, with almost no fluctuations.
In fact, despite looking at Man Chong's expressionless face, but thinking that Liu Bei had spent a month reading through his laws as a whole, but it was difficult to pick out the thorns, Man Chong felt a little proud in his heart. This was his hard work. When Taishan was first built, the tasks assigned to him by Chen Xi finally came to fruition.
"Let the family be restricted according to Bonin's general outline." Lu Su also had a look of surprise on his face after reading through the general outline. Man Chong's laws were much better than he expected, "But Bonin also asked me to Give me a copy of the relevant laws about the aristocratic family, I also need to know more about it."
"No problem." Man Chong replied majestically.
"All privileges should be exchanged for responsibilities and obligations. Who came up with this?" Li You was very interested in this sentence. With this sentence as a guarantee, all privileges have a basis for existence.
"It's written in an ancient book, and I also based my legislation on it." Man Chong said with some wandering thoughts.
"This is good, but what should we do now?" Li You asked, turning his head.
"What is needed now is to lay down the foundation first. As for the execution, it will naturally be done when the lord is qualified to entrust the 20th-level knighthood in the future. The next thing to do is to refine the privileges of each class. There is no implementation of the 20th-level title. The problem is that we cannot be in the same situation as four hundred years ago." Man Chong said something that was almost rebellious.
However, in the situation of the Han Dynasty, the clan with the surname Liu all had the right to inherit. Liu Xie, who was unlucky, had no son. If he succeeded to the throne in the future, he would still be a Han clan, and it might be a matter of universal clan suffrage. With the current situation in the world, it is impossible to choose or not. There is no difference. The advantages of Liu Bei's descendants are too obvious.
"Let's discuss this. This time, the privileges of each of the 20 strata should be written clearly. If they have it, they have it, if they don't, they don't have it. All social benefits are also clearly written." Li You said with a solemn face, "And it will definitely not be written into the law. Allow for fluctuations and determine the maximum number that each class's privileges can accommodate. This rule must not be forgotten!"
"You must be cautious about this. Many of the old soldiers in Guanzhong did not resist in the late Qin Dynasty because their class privileges were destroyed." Lu Su nodded and said, "The privileges of the twenty classes are written into the general outline of the code."
"We also need to measure the responsibilities and obligations that each class should have. The higher the class, the higher the obligations and the higher privileges it enjoys. How to measure this is also a problem." Jia Xu sighed and said, he found that this society Responsibility and privilege measurement are also troublesome.
"This is probably the buffer time Zichuan left for us. After all, we do not have the power to issue twenty-level titles." Li You thought for a moment and said, "We still have a long time to obtain these divisions of powers and obligations."
"He is always one step ahead of us, and he is always the best in terms of strategic framework." Lu Su sighed and said, "The issue of the privileges of the twentieth-level title is not difficult. After all, we have a plan. Take your time. That’s it, we still have a lot of time, at least we don’t need to pay too much attention to this aspect until the north is pacified.”
"It won't take long. I think the outbreak of war between us and Yuan Benchu this year is basically doomed. There is no other possibility." Li You sighed and said, "The battle between the orthodox family and the masses of poor families. After this rebellion, the The position will go directly to the students of the academy."
"It's as I thought. I'll directly recruit students and let the officials from poor families be promoted to 50%." Lu Su nodded and said.
The monopoly of official positions by powerful aristocratic families in the late Han Dynasty was a taboo for all those in power. Even though Taishan had been weakening the power of aristocratic families, in essence, 70% of the officials under the rule still came from aristocratic families, and part of these 70% were from aristocratic families. The other part of the descendants were cultivated by aristocratic families, and not even 30% of them were truly from poor families.
"Continue to maintain the system of military merit-based nobility. The first fifteen levels of nobility are not limited to any merit. The fifteenth to eighteenth levels of nobility must have military merit. As for the 19th and 20th levels of Guan Neihou and other princes, they can only be awarded on the battlefield. Get it." Jia Xu continued to add.
"No non-gonghou can become a minister." Li You sighed and said, "Let's maintain this rule. As for the 19th and 20th ranks, let's change the title. If a pure civil servant becomes a prince, the land of a state will be drawn by lot. Go and govern it. After three years, 60% of the people in the state agree and it will be handed over to the holders of 19th and 20th-level titles for review, and 80% will be directly canonized."
"That's fine." Lu Su nodded. Although he looked down on civil servants who couldn't fight, he should still give them a glimmer of hope. As for the direct canonization of 80%, Lu Su just wanted to say that even he can't achieve this now. Level, if it can reach this level, then there is nothing to say. (To be continued.)
