Chapter 73 Nine-Rank System(1/2)

"boom!"

Xu Shu's heart trembled and hesitated no longer.

"Shu greets the lord!" Xu Shu knelt halfway through the sword and said, "From now on, I wish to be the sword in the prince's hand and hold the law of heaven and earth!"

"Hahahaha, get up quickly!" Lu Bu was very excited. Finally, he finally got Xu Shu in a mess.

Lu Bu couldn't help but feel grateful. Thanks to Li Bai. If it weren't for this song of the hero, how could it be so easy to touch Xu Shu's mood?

Now that Xu Shu is invested in, it is not in vain that Lu Bu has designed it for so long.

A few days later, Lu Bu sacrificed his sacrifice to heaven and became king.

Although the royal palace has not been completed, the ceremony cannot be slower.

Because Lu Bu wanted to establish a government and enfeoffed all his ministers.

When Lu Bu was greeted by all the officials, he was also very proud.

He wants to be in power and supreme power.

It is precisely in response to that famous historical saying.

Drunk and lie down on the knees of a beautiful woman, awaken the power of the world.

After the ceremony, everyone gathered in the main hall and began to enthrone the ministers.

Lu Bu made Chen Gong the left prime minister and was in charge of various civil affairs.

Pang Tong was the right prime minister. In addition to being in charge of some civil affairs, he also had military and diplomatic rights.

In other words, when Lu Bu was not in the court, Pang Tong was able to exercise diplomatic rights on his behalf. Pang Tong could also make full decisions on some less important diplomatic affairs in normal times.

At the same time, Lu Bu set up six ministries to take charge of all matters. It was the Ministry of Works, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Rites, and Ministry of War in history.

The official position is the Minister of State and the deputy position is the Minister of State.

Xu Shu was appointed as the Minister of Justice.

The Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Revenue were temporarily led by Chen Gong.

Chen Deng is the Minister of Works.

Qiao Xuan was appointed as the Minister of Rites.

The Minister of War was temporarily led by Pang Tong.

In addition, Lu Bu added thousands of officials of various dynasties and later generations to combine them with official positions.

It is equivalent to decentralizing and refining some official positions in the Han Dynasty.

All important official positions are divided into nine ranks, from high to low, one to nine ranks respectively.

The rank system is not only a reflection of the size of the official rank, but also a standard for salary payment.

The salary given by Lu Bu was five to ten times that of the Han Dynasty. Because of this, no one in the ministers opposed the various official positions formulated by Lu Bu and supported them.

Yes, Lu Bu's nine-rank system was just a reference to the division of official positions in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and was not the nine-rank Zhongzheng system of the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Next, Lu Bu must first eliminate the administration of officials, and then formulate a newer method for selecting officials.

The imperial examination system may be used first, and then overdoing the civil service system in later generations.

Now that I mention the public servants of the people, I will definitely seek death.

Those who are officials must be superior.

Lu Bu increased his salary to correct corruption as much as possible.

In vivid terms, it means to support the good salary.

Once you become an official, your whole family will be free of food and clothing. If you are so greedy, you will kill you.

Even if you don’t die, you will have nothing in the end, and you will be useless.

When Lu Bu made the official positions he had made public and recruited talents publicly, the world was shocked.

Cao Cao was silent, Sun Quan was silent, and Liu Biao was silent.

The details of Lu Bu's official positions and powers are comprehensive, and the results are superior and inferior. It is simply a peerless talent.

After the vibration, all the monarchs reacted one after another.

This is to immediately intercept the checkpoint and not let scholars go to Xuzhou to seek official positions.

At the same time, they were also reorganized and reorganized their official positions by learning from Lu Bu's official position.

Of course, the salary has also been increased accordingly to calm the people's hearts.

But it is simply impossible to improve several times like Lu Bu.

No one is so rich and generous!

You should know that most of the money is in the hands of the gentry and powerful people.

All the monarchs can’t just use them if they want to. If others don’t support you, you won’t even be able to control the regime.

The money of various princes can only be collected from the hands of ordinary people, except for making money from war.

But now almost all ordinary people are paupers. How much tax can they charge in a year?

This is just crying when you think about it.

The result of exploiting the people is that the economy cannot develop at all.

On the other hand, Lu Bu earned a lot of money from various products.

It is equivalent to making all the money from the aristocratic families in the world.

Yes, although money is in the hands of various aristocratic families, it is impossible for aristocratic families to keep money in the coffin.

What does people live for? Isn’t it just for enjoyment?

They want to eat well, dress well, and play well.

Lu Bu's various products just meet their needs.

Because of this, Lu Bu was able to obtain a lot of money.

Moreover, after the five-way coalition failed to attack Lu, many aristocratic families, especially those in the north, deposited their money into Xuzhou Bank.

Because they found that depositing money into Xuzhou Bank is quite insurance.

It can be said that Lu Bu is so rich nowadays.

So, if people are rich, they can be willful as they want.

Because of this, all the magistrates began to vigorously trade with Lu Bu.

Because they found that when they were in trade with Lu Bu, the treasury funds began to increase.

For example, in Jiangdong, just coarse salt and tea made a lot of money for Sun Quan.

Moreover, this is a long-term project, not a short-term trade.

It can be said that these two transactions alone are enough for him to support the army of 200,000.

Of course, there is no military pay. Sun Quan could not do high military pay like Lu Bu.

So now, except for Cao Cao's attack on Yuan, the war in the south has stopped, and everyone is developing with peace of mind, strengthening the country and enriching the people.

Of course, the internal struggle for power has not stopped.

Now under Liu Biao, there are still various open and secret struggles.

But without war, Jingzhou was gradually becoming rich.

It can be said that Lu Bu finally made the Han Dynasty improve with his industry and commerce.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce were the most unpopular businessmen and businessmen in the Han Dynasty, which prevented the Han Dynasty from continuing to decline.

However, he was just a little angry. Lu Bu could not do it at present.

As long as someone wants to fight for power, the war will never end.

War is also an opportunity for many people to succeed.

These people will not let the war end easily.

In Jingzhou, when Zhuge Liang saw the latest issue of the newspaper, he was silent.

His heart is unwilling.

He believed that his talent was no worse than Pang Tong and Xu Shu. However, now, one is the right prime minister and in charge of military and political power. The other is the Minister of Justice, in charge of judicial power in the world.

Look at yourself again, I don’t even have any achievements, and I don’t even have fame.

This is like, three good friends of the same level and starting point, and the other two have all become successful, but they are still dangling. How can they balance their psychology?

This kind of jealousy is often more powerful than anything else.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang was unwilling to accept his wish to become an official.

Yes, Lu Bu's existence changed the historical trajectory, causing Zhuge Liang to come out six years ahead of schedule.
