August 1st, sunny and the weather is beautiful.

Before dawn, the atmosphere in Wuchang City became different from before. Every household got up early, had breakfast, and prepared their best clothes to wear.

Like the others in Wuchang City, Fang Nan's family of five also got up early in the palace. Today is the most important day for the People's Army. As the Grand Governor of the People's Army, it is also the most important day for Fang Nan. Today, Fang Nan will officially establish the Xia Kingdom and become the emperor of the Xia Kingdom.

Officials, soldiers, merchants, etc., and people in Wuchang City are all preparing.

The busiest ones are probably the City Defense Forces and Military Information Office in Wuchang City. Today is the founding day. The City Defense Forces and Military Information Office are worried that the remnants of the Ming court will destroy the founding ceremony today.

Fang Nan didn't care much about it. The Ming court had been destroyed and the entire Chinese land was under the control of the People's Army. Even if there were still remnants of the Ming court, it would be very difficult to come to Wuchang City. Even if you could enter Wuchang City, you would not be able to carry firearms, explosives, etc., and don't want to bring weapons to the palace or even the military parade site.

It was dawn, and the people from Wuchang City walked out of their homes to gather in the new city. Even if they could only watch the military parade, they went to the venue early to wait.

Compared with the people of the other ten provinces, Wuchang City was occupied by the People's Army three years ago. In more than three years, ordinary people in Wuchang City have already supported the People's Army physically and mentally. The People's Army is about to establish the country, and they spontaneously went to celebrate.

The first item today is to worship the sky and establish the country in the palace to proclaim the emperor. There were as many as thousands of people, mainly government officials, military officers and other people who would be awarded titles. The person responsible for presiding the ceremony was Cheng Xinyuan, Minister of Rites. For this place today, Cheng Xinyuan has been preparing for a long time and has asked many elderly people for advice. He must not make mistakes at the ceremony.

In the morning, a group of senior officials from the Xia Kingdom gathered inside and outside the altar in the palace. Cheng Xinyuan presided over the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, and Zhou Lei recited the ritual of sacrifice.

In fact, some of the contents of the sacrificial texts are the same as "Letter to the People's People of Xia Emperor Fang Nan". The main content is to tell the path that the People's Army of Heaven has taken since its establishment, and the second is to tell the People's Army of Heaven that the People's Army of Heaven will establish the Xia Kingdom and Fang Nan will be the emperor.

After Zhou Lei finished reciting the memorial, under the auspices of Cheng Xinyuan, Fang Nan personally announced to everyone that the Xia Kingdom was officially established today, and that he would become the first emperor of the Xia Kingdom and accept worship from a number of senior officials of the Xia Kingdom.

Saying a ritual is a normal tribute. At least in the Ming Dynasty, no ministers kneeled down to the emperor, and Fang Nan would not want to see this place.

"Long live my emperor!"

"The family of all the ministers is peaceful."

Fang Nan felt that all the ministers got up, and passed this end as soon as possible, which made Fang Nan feel embarrassed. The senior officials of the Xia Kingdom felt nothing, but Fang Nan was a human being for two lifetimes, and these words sounded uncomfortable when they said. Fortunately, such words rarely appear in front of Fang Nan in the future.

After accepting the worship of his ministers, Fang Nan, as the Emperor of Xia, made his oath to heaven, ministers, and people (representatives): "I will lead Xia to become stronger, and I will make the lives of all Xia people better and better. I will lead Xia ** team to resist all enemies and protect the lives of all Xia people. I will..."

When he just became the emperor, Fang Nan did not use the self-proclaimed "I", but still used "I". Using "I" will make the emperor approachable. In addition, Fang Nan knew a saying in his previous life.

"I" may be the self-proclaimed by Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng. The pronunciation of "Zheng" and "I" are very close. However, when Liu Bang became emperor, Liu Bang was unlearning and used "I" as the emperor's claim, and passed it on to the Ming Dynasty.

Fang Nan could not confirm the authenticity of this statement, but he did not want to continue using "I".

After the emperor's oath ended, he entered the second item today, a great honor for the hero, also presided over by Cheng Xinyuan. Zhou Lei read it out. The person who read the name came forward, and Fang Nan personally gave the title for the name.

There are three first-class dukes (dukes) in total, namely Hu Zhuang, Minister of War, Wang Shengrong, Commander of the First Army, and Zhou Lei, Secretary-General. (First-class hereditary, second-class hereditary, third-class lifelong)

There were ten first-class marquises, namely Zhao Hong, Ding Wei, Cheng Xinyuan, Shen Minghui, Wang Mu, and five senior military officials, including Zhou Yi, He Yan, Yan Han, Xiong Jian and Han Lin.

There were thirty-six first-class men, mainly deputy ministers of the government, senior officials, the remaining deputy commanders and commanders of the ace division.

There were 125 first-class sons and 78 first-class men. There were 252 nobles who had to be inherited from the inheritance, or 252 nobles. As long as these nobles did not take the initiative to die, they would pass on the inheritance with the Xia Kingdom.

From the Duke to the Viscount, they were all hereditary. Starting from the baron, the second-class men and third-class men with different hereditary hereditary appeared. The total number of second-class men and third-class men combined was as high as 627. The last Ren Jue had only a lifetime system, with a total of 321 people.

This time, the aristocrats who were divided into federations in Fangnan will be a total of 1,200 people, which will be the largest aristocrat in Xia Kingdom.

After that, Fangnan could have been awarded titles to those who contributed to the Xia Kingdom every year, but the number of people who awarded titles was not too much, at most, at double digits, and at least at single digits. This year, he could have given titles of 1,200 people at once, mainly because of the founding of the country.

It can be seen that there were no hereditary decreasing and lifelong titles above the baron. All the nobles who obtained hereditary titles made great contributions to the Xia Kingdom, either politics or army. They were either students from Fangnan or students. It can be said that the People's Army became stronger under their leadership and eventually established the Xia Kingdom.

Every dynasty must have a great title for the founding of a country. Fang Nan felt that there was nothing to give to the heroes, so he created something like "noble". There was almost no privilege for the nobles, but he could receive salary from the nobles every year. One percent of the annual fiscal revenue of the Xia government was given to the royal family, and one percent of the royal family was given to the nobles, and the nobles were given to the nobles by the nobles.

One percent of the fiscal revenue will combine all the nobles and distribute their salary according to the level. The benevolent title belongs to the "honorary" nobles. There is no salary. As long as the salary is present, the nobles can live a more decent life.

In addition, Fang Nan will ask the nobles who have a large income to give up their salary voluntarily and continue to hand it over to the Xia government. The Fang Chamber of Commerce will take various nobles to do business and make money.

Even ordinary people are qualified to be given the title by Fang Nan to become a noble. It is easier to make great contributions to the Xia Kingdom by joining the army, engaging in politics, or even engaging in scientific research. As long as you work hard, you will have a chance. If you don’t work hard, everything will be in vain. This will depend on various public opinion propaganda in the future.
