Chapter 721
"Will it be a little less if a household has a real seal of only two stones of rice or discounted money in a year?" asked Fang Xuanling, the governor.
The fief system is a reward to the meritorious officials, and rewards and punishments are also extremely important to the court. Unfair rewards and punishments will naturally cause injustice.
"There are also many. The first rank of the Beijing official, and the salary is only 900 stones. Each rank of the lower rank is different. The fourth rank of the main rank is only 300 stones. The eighth rank is only 50 stones. The nineh rank below the eighth rank is not even given to the lucky ones."
Lu is Lumi.
Give it annually and send it twice a year.
The salary is money and is paid monthly, but at the beginning of the founding of the Sui Dynasty, officials had no salary. Later, although this salary was increased, it was very small.
So in general, the salaries of officials in the Sui Dynasty were not high. Fortunately, there were officials who worked forever, divided land, public land, public land, government land, government money, entitlement land, and honor land.
Luo Cheng's meaning is still under the banner of Sui, but some things, especially the system, must be determined from the beginning, otherwise it will not be easy to change in the future.
Therefore, Luo Cheng has now changed the title system and re-recommended the ninth-class title, and has begun to award titles to the officials and generals.
Du Ruhui believed that titles should be awarded less. He agreed with Yang Guang's approach, so that titles were precious and at the same time increased the treatment of titles.
Luo Cheng believed that the title should be awarded and the title should be awarded, and it should not be too concealed. It should not be like Zhu Yuanzhang, who only awarded six dukes in the founding country. On the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang's treatment of those who awarded titles to those dukes and marquis was indeed high. Although it shows that the titles of marquis are like raising pigs, this is a historical reason. Since the Song Dynasty, the titles of marquis have actually not had any privileges.
This is a historical trend. You can't reverse history. You can't even give the marquis the fiefs to Kaifeng.
Therefore, Luo Cheng's idea is that he can have more titles. Anyway, he has nine ranks. He can also give him a title to reward merits and show honor. But on the other hand, he has to cut off his title in terms of the treatment of a title.
For example, if the actual enclosed households are controlled, the income of the enclosed households has also changed the practice of directly allocating them to the enclosed households in the past. Instead, it is just a household, and the number of households is paid for the dividends or salary, so that there is no direct connection between the enclosed marquis and the people, and they do not allow them to collect the enclosed rent by themselves. This can also prevent the enclosed marquis from having the opportunity to directly exploit the people and even cut off their personal dependence.
This is of course of great benefit to the court.
Of course, there are still many other benefits for the title of marquis. For example, the title can be granted to the corresponding Yongye field according to the title, but the quantity must also be changed. Originally, the king gave 10,000 mu of Yongye field, but now Luo Cheng feels it is necessary to introduce real-life teaching. Just like the marquis' enfeoffment households have virtual and real-life gifts.
The prince granted ten thousand households in vain, but the actual households may often only have a thousand households. Therefore, Luo Cheng also introduced the concept of the real households into the Fenghou Yongye field. The virtual households were granted ten thousand acres, and the actual households may only be one to twenty percent, and the Yongye field was granted thousands or two thousand acres. Moreover, these lands must be granted border land with more land and few people. It is prohibited to grant seals in many places in the narrow Central Plains.
In addition to being granted titles and Yongyetian, the other advantage is that it is like a family member. Children can study in the Imperial College, and they can become guards as guards, and even directly choose official positions in the future. These are all preferential treatments for children of nobles.
Even if they commit crimes, as nobles and marquis, they can still negotiate the nobles so that they can enjoy special trials to enjoy the treatment of nobles and receive certain exemptions.
Because of this, Luo Cheng really had nothing to be reluctant to let go of the three counties and twenty-two marquises.
Luo Cheng directly gave the Yongye Field of these Dukes and Marquis to them on their territory. As for the little bit of the enfeoffed households, it was only a little bit. After trading with them, they made more than that.
"Then are their titles hereditary?"
"The same thing is all the inheritance of the inheritance, and every time the inheritance is one level. When the title is reduced to the baron, it will be called a ser, or obtain the same political power as the baron, which can give the descendants the qualifications of the descendants, and can enter the Imperial College and enter the three prefectures to choose guards, but no longer enjoy the economic power of the cemetery, the title of Yongyetian and other economic power, and no longer be qualified to directly choose official positions."
"All of them are surrendered to the hereditary?"
"Yes, there is no title that is inherited and replaced. If you have a title of marquis and great achievements, the emperor can issue a special order to pass on the title to his son without being demoted, but a special order will only be carried out once."
If you have great merits from generation to generation, you will naturally be able to receive special orders and inheritance from generation to generation. However, if you have no special merits, you will be given one level in each generation.
Until he was reduced to the baron, he could only be called a jazz, and the title could no longer be granted the title of Yongye Field and Food Seal.
"Then after this reduction, will the number of food seals and Yongyetian of this title be reduced?
"Well, according to the title, the number of enclosed households and Yongyetian will be reduced accordingly, and the rest will be taken back."
Everything needs a system, and if there is a system to follow, there will be no chaos.
"There are no kings in a different surname."
Luo Cheng finally proposed this point, which was a matter that many dynasties would set at the beginning of their country. Although this is often broken in the end, it was actually impossible to control it when it was really in that era. Generally, it was time for national crisis and country to be in danger.
At the same time, all the titles of marquis do not enjoy the right to establish a country, and they do not really establish a country, and the princes are not allowed to have their own private armed forces, and they do not even have national officials.
In this way, this title is actually equivalent to an additional official and an honor, which can gain some practical economic benefits and political privileges, but it does not have much power. Just like a duke, the income from a closure household is equivalent to the salary income of a first-rank official.
Now the Liaodong court has only granted a few titles for the time being, but the official generals have recognized the titles. Luo Cheng is planning to re-adjust the titles, such as awarding titles to many meritorious soldiers. After all, Yang Guang changed his titles before, so few people with titles have few titles.
Of course, the title of the soldiers can also inspire them.
Before, Wei Zheng proposed to give Luo Cheng the title of King of Qin, but Yang Ming had no objection. Anyway, he is now staying in Liuhe Palace, and he is actually under house arrest in the palace. Don’t be able to say it, even the people in the palace cannot get out, and the people outside cannot get in.
Luo Cheng basically didn't go to see him, and the man who made him understand that he had been fooled by Luo Cheng, but what else could he do?
Luo Cheng did not agree to the title of King of Qin, and he thought that it was not the time.
"Everyone, Fuyu City has been taken down. Although there are still surrounding cities that have not been taken down, there is no need to worry anymore. I think we can start to adjust our deployment now and prepare to enter the pass and go south." Luo Chengdao.
Fuyu City was also captured, and Xi Qiwu and the Three Feudals are now completely facing their side. The troubles in Liaodong have been lifted, and Luo Cheng believes that the time has come.
"Winter is coming soon, will we send troops in winter?" Fang Xuanling asked.
"It was not suitable for sending troops in winter, but Dugu Hitoshi stabbed us, and it was very hurt. We must respond. If we conquer Fanyang in Beiping, we can connect with Zhuojun and Yunnei of Siye. In this way, the Zhongwu Army in Liaodong, the Xuanwu Army in Dingxiang, and the Yiwu Army in Daibei can sweep across the Central Plains!"
The three armies are united, but there is no need to worry about being defeated by each one.
The food from Liaodong can also support the Yiwu Army in Daibei and the Xuanwu Army in Dingxiang. The forces of the two armies can also strengthen the military power of Luo Chengzhong's Wu Army.
"Okay, let's start planning."
"Has Yuan Taizuo not responded yet?"
"It has been replied. His envoy just arrived in Liaodong City and said he wanted the general to stop the army and was willing to negotiate."
