Those who do not have military merit cannot be ennobled as marquises, and those who do not have marquis cannot be ministers. If this were said in the era of scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty, they would definitely be beaten to death. If it were said in the Ming Dynasty, when military attach¨¦s were automatically demoted to two levels when facing civilian officials, the person who said this would definitely be Get sprayed to death!
This is why later dynasties have all kinds of black sayings. Without him, scholar-bureaucrats are in power! Military attach¨¦s cannot be allowed to come to power. Corrupt Confucianism is always right, and military generals are always inferior to others. This is the atmosphere that future generations will create. Therefore, future generations will be beaten up in various ways, and corrupt Confucianism will be offline in various ways to improve their integrity. "You can say this kind of thing, what can I say about the moral integrity of a rotten Confucian?"
However, this period has not yet reached the time when civil servants are in power. From the Qin Dynasty's head count of merit to the Han Dynasty's whitewashed military merit and nobility, in a word, there are no pure civil servants in this era. There is no one present who has never been on the battlefield. , Ban Chao can go to the battlefield just by throwing away his pen, Li Dian throws down his slips and turns back from a civil servant to become an outstanding military general. In this era, civil and military affairs are not separated.
The importance of the Six Arts of the Gentleman is not less than that of ritual and music. When the Han Dynasty got angry, some censor could turn around and become a general. In this era, martial arts has been engraved in the bone marrow. Literacy may be rare, but There are a lot of people who can fight. After all, if you want to become a lord, you have to be ready to go to the battlefield!
Because of this tradition that has been handed down for many years, Jia Xu and others have no pressure at all to say that they cannot be ennobled without military merit. As for what Chen Xi said about scars, even if they are glorious, these counselors who have been on the battlefield all felt it and nodded. What I didn¡¯t say in this article is that it doesn¡¯t matter whether it¡¯s extreme or not.
"Next is the Jingling Hall. The names of every soldier who died on the battlefield must be engraved on the tablet in front of the hall. The four solar terms are we sacrifice, the three animals and the six animals cannot be missing, and the etiquette is the same as that of the princes and kings. This can be used as The final destination of all our soldiers." Chen Xi brought the topic back to the original path, giving benefits to the living and glory to the dead, so that they would have nothing to worry about in life and death.
"Although it's a bit over the top" Man Chong and Liu Ye looked at each other and murmured, "But looking at the reason, it should be okay."
"Don't mention exceeding the limit. Even if some things exceed the limit, everyone will turn a blind eye." Chen Xi waved his hand and said. He didn't care at all about things like exceeding the limit. If it weren't for the fact that he was really afraid that it would cause too much trouble to step down, Chen Xi would have wanted to sacrifice him to the sky. What he wanted was that kind of glory. In the Han Dynasty, an era of faith. That glory is enough to make too many people at the bottom of the society throw themselves into this flame like moths.
"Zichuan continues to talk about your plan. This should be a complete system. You have already mentioned the dead themselves. Now it should be about the placement of the living, or something else!" Jia Xu waved his hand. For someone like him, To a man, going over the limit is nothing. As long as he is safe enough, he can despise everything.
"Well, families who died in the war. The family is exempted from agricultural taxes until the eldest son is eighteen years old. One of the sons in the family can enter the government for compulsory study. It is free within three years. No matter what he studies, it is free, as long as he has the ability to finish it. He's awesome!" Chen Xi said with a natural expression. He built these things bit by bit, and now it's finally time to use them.
"The expense is not big, but it is very valuable, but what should I do if the eldest son is eighteen years old?" Lu Su asked a very interesting question.
Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, and then he thought that this was not the future. It was very possible for the eldest son to turn eighteen. Even if there was a system of military discharge, some people would inevitably die in battle at the age of 33 or 45. In this era, many people at the bottom got married at the age of 13 or 45. Now, having an eighteen-year-old son is really not a problem.
"Well, that's it. If the eldest son is fifteen years younger, in addition to his five-year pension, he will also receive three months' compensation for those killed in action for every year younger than the eldest son." Chen Xi thought for a while and said.
With the agricultural tax exempted, a certain amount of salary supplemented, and five years of pensions, plus three years of education with food, clothing, and housing, the child will almost be able to make money after spending the money. It's not that he doesn't want to pay more, mainly because This kind of pension involves too many people. Once you make a wish, you must fulfill it, otherwise it will be a big trouble if the military's morale is unstable. After all, the money circulating in Chen Xi's hands is not unlimited.
"The pension is five years. Well, I thought Zichuan would give it ten years according to the previous practice, but I didn't expect it was only given five years." Lu Su said with a smile. In fact, when Chen Xi mentioned the pension, At that time, Lu Su was ready to give a pension of ten years' salary. Unexpectedly, Chen Xi only gave it five years, which was a bit unreasonable.
"Well, the first pension is for five years." Chen Xi said calmly.
"So there is a second one?" Lu Su suddenly felt helpless. Chen Xi made a lot of money, but he also spent a lot of money!
¡°The first pension is paid to the wife. If the wife continues to raise the children, the wife can receive half of the husband¡¯s annual salary from the government every year. This salary lasts for ten years and continues.When the government has odd jobs suitable for female workers, these wives have priority. After ten years, if their children are younger than fifteen, the number will be increased to fifteen. During the same period, the disabled veterans who returned to their hometowns have the right to supervise, and the supervisory official also has " Chen Xi glared at Lu Su, and then said with a smile.
"Sure enough, we still have to pay enough." Lu Su sighed and said, he knew that Chen Xi would not treat those people badly, as expected.
"This method is good. Presumably the benefits for the disabled soldiers and the veterans are paid on an annual basis, and they are all paid together. We use the feelings of comrades and fellow countrymen to safeguard these interests." Liu Yemo Chen Xi touched his beard and said with great satisfaction. Chen Xi had considered almost everything he could think about.
"Well, only when these retired soldiers stick together can their own interests be guaranteed, and retired soldiers who are not seriously disabled can be transferred to the government service first, so that their own interests can be more easily guaranteed." Chen Xi nodded and said, He still has some experience with things like checks and balances.
"As for the elite soldiers Wen He said before, they are their guarantee. The city management and patrol team is purely an elite team composed of veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles and retired without disabilities around the age of thirty-five. They only conduct patrols and patrols within the city. I don¡¯t believe it when the Jingling Palace is stationed. With a team like this, anyone who dares to hand over this money will definitely chop off the other party¡¯s hand! When the time comes, I recommend you to sign up!¡± The coldness in his eyes was radiating when he said this, and he couldn't believe it. Under the suppression of such a purely violent force, there were still people who dared to reach out!
"That's no problem." Man Chong nodded. He knew what Chen Xi was doing by giving him such a unit. Although it was in name only, that kind of deterrence was no joke. As a cruel official, he needed this deterrence.
"By the way, all retired soldiers, whether due to injury or age, are taken to the Jingling Hall to offer incense before returning. Similarly, newly recruited soldiers are also taken to the Jingling Hall to offer incense after being reorganized. Assign them to various legions! All in all, my goal is to keep the Jingling Palace alive!" Chen Xi stood up and looked solemnly at the sky outside the door. His goal is to create a spirit that lasts forever. , until it is burned into the soul! (To be continued)
