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 to destroy the country and annihilated Goguryeo in one fell swoop. The war in Goguryeo was relatively smooth, but Liaodong suffered numerous casualties under the siege of Mongolia, Chu and Fusang.
But after the people buried their sons, husbands, and fathers, they continued to support Wu Nian.
Of course it's not because Wu Nian's pension is generous. No matter how much money you have, it can't buy back a life. 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. But the people did not make any commotion. They just stood with their heads slightly lowered and respectfully watched Wu Nian's car drive by. After it gradually moved away, they raised their heads and then dispersed.
E Niang, E Qin, and Li Jinzhu were sitting in the same carriage. E Niang and E Qin were not interested in this. Li Jinzhu stretched out his thin white hands to lift the car curtain and looked at the people outside the car window.
"The people's hearts are as strong as a rock." Li Jinzhu's pink face showed a solemn expression.
The Han Dynasty was powerful not only in its army, but also in its people. With such soldiers and civilians, why worry about failure to accomplish great things? She thought about her ambition to annex Liaodong and launched a war for this purpose. In the end, the country was subjugated and she was captured and became the favored concubine of Wu Nian's harem. She felt that she was extremely stupid at that time.
"Hey." Li Jinzhu let out a long sigh and lowered the car curtain lonely.
Who wants to be a beloved concubine when she can be the Queen Mother?
It's regret after all.
When they arrived at the Fuhan General's Mansion, Wu Nian asked Zhang Zhen and Lu Yanxun to lead Li Jinzhu, Eqin, and Eniang 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 lived in camps 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 to bow to Wu Nian.
"Excuse me." Wu Nian supported him with both 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 temple is so high that it has 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 they were Fenyang Gongzhangjin.
Wuyang Gonglongqie.
The title system of the Han Dynasty basically copied that of Chu. The first level is the Duke of the State, and the second level is the Duke of the County.
Li Yong is the Duke of the country.
Zhang Jin and Long Qie were county officials respectively.
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 the county marquis.
Fifteen people including Jin Han, Liu Wu, Huang Hu, Chen Jiagui, etc.
The next level is the county uncle.
There are thirteen people including Zhao Mancheng, Li Yunchong, Lu Liuliang and others.
The next level is county.
There are nine people.
The next level is the county boy.
There are twenty-one people.
They all gave iron certificates of alchemy and allowed hereditary succession. Those who have made great achievements will be awarded a title along with the title.
For example, Li Yong's official position is.
You Zhuguo, Chen Guogong Li Yong.
There were a lot of people, but there was nothing we could do. The establishment of a country cannot rely solely on national sentiments.
As the saying goes. Learned martial arts and brought goods to the emperor's family. If others sacrifice their lives for you, if you don’t give them any benefits, who will sacrifice their lives for you?
There are many people like Zhao Yanting.
Although Feng Chong is loyal, he is also very concerned about fame and fortune.
He dreamed that one day he would be able to invade the capital of Chu and return home in glory.
Therefore, every king who founded a country must bestow great titles on him to win over people's hearts. There are relatively few 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 is still very pragmatic. These titles are very prestigious and allow future generations to inherit them hereditary. But the salary given is relatively low.
For example, Chen Guogong Li Yong gave Lumi one thousand dan per year. That is more than 100,000 kilograms of grain.
Wu Nian was very satisfied with the list of heroes, but also very dissatisfied. He raised his head and said to everyone: "I made it clear in Goguryeo. To be able to be where I am today, Liu Zhi is the best in meritorious deeds. Why not him?"
Wu Nian looked at Liu Zhixing.
Everyone was too dumbfounded to speak, but 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, hard work and merit. In the past, the emperor of the Han Dynasty rewarded Xiao He with the first meritorious service. Long history. I am Xiao He. Specially given to Zuo Zhuguo and Duke Ying, with an annual salary of 1,500 shi."
"In addition, the Wei Xiaowei has outstanding military exploits and has fought more than a hundred battles. He is specially given to the princess of Zhou. The eldest grandson of General Wei Changqing is given the title of Junhou, which is hereditary."
Liu Zhixing wanted to say that he was too embarrassed to deserve it, but when he saw that Wu Nian had said so and had a firm attitude, 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 Zhixing.
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.
Some are particularly familiar.
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, the governor of Youyan.
Yingqing Prefecture Yin Zhang Haiping.
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 were promoted to generals, in charge of ten thousand households, and were given the rank of second rank. Basically the top level of 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 if nothing happens. For example, Li Tianbao is responsible for coordinating the navy and fighting against Fuso Navy.
In addition, a governor's office was set up in the middle of the court, which basically had no power, but was used to provide for the elderly. That is, after a general with outstanding military exploits retired, he came to serve in the Governor'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 and Li Yong as the second assistant, Zhang Haiping will be removed from the Yin official position in Yingqing Prefecture and join the cabinet."
"National affairs will be left to the three of you."
