The first thousand five hundred and seventeen chapters battle the empire (13)
Peter's words made Zhou frown, and he immediately objected: "No one wants to be born lowly. Once this system is implemented, it will definitely cause chaos! Moreover, on the side of the empire, there are three levels of royal family, nobles and civilians. Will we create this system now cause trouble for adults?"
Peter smiled: "This identity hierarchy is not unchanging. The purpose of our system is to hope that the people below will be eager to climb up, because they are the lowest and lowest slaves who can be a high-ranking warrior after making enough merits. As for the trouble, as long as they do not enthrone the noble title, there will be no trouble in this era when military and political affairs are in the hands of warlords."
Zhao Hu suddenly said: "Actually, what you mean is to change the Qin family's retainer hierarchy to implement it here by changing the different titles?"
Peter lowered his head: "The lord is wise, but the subordinates think that our Qin family has too many retainers. We should not divide so many levels on the empire, so that the people below will not lose their climbing."
"Oh, then how do you think of the division? It is based on the military rank system in the period of the melee of the ancient Far Eastern Continent. This is not bad. Each rank has corresponding land salary, and even the food is strictly divided." Zhao Hu said with a smile.
Peter was shocked. How did the lord know what he had referred to to formulate this identity hierarchy? But he said with admiration: "The lord is really knowledgeable. The subordinates refer to the military title system of the ancient Far East country. However, we cannot copy it completely. After all, people's livelihood customs are different."
"Well, tell me what you think." Zhao Hu nodded.
At that time, I also wanted to change the Qin family's retainer system to such a military title system. However, the people in the Southeast Peninsula only recognized the retainer system that represents the identity of a warrior. I had no choice but to formulate a new retainer system based on the military ranks of the imperial side and the retainer level of the Southeast Peninsula.
Peter said: "Yes, my subordinates think that the Qin family should divide everyone into three parts: official slaves in the foundation of the empire.
"The level of slaves is the lowest. They are usually prisoners of war or those who commit crimes and are punished as slaves, and then those who are higher than slaves are untouchables, referring to the families and relatives of enemy military and political officials in the occupied land. Then there are common people, and all the people in the newly occupied land are at this level."
Zhou, who had originally heard that all the prisoners of war were demoted to slaves, was secretly happy: Look at Liu Ming was depressed or not. However, when the untouchables and common people behind him were shocked, he interrupted and said, "Mr. Peter, wouldn't it be too much for you to make these people so low?"
Peter shook his head and smiled, "How can we pass? If we don't do this, how can we reflect the nobleness of our own people? Besides, there is also a system of meritorious deeds that will allow them to climb.
"Think about it, wouldn't it be wonderful if the local people were afraid of supporting and helping us for the sake of the untouchables, and even directly raised their troops to resist the local rulers when we attacked?
"If we are strong enough, this identity hierarchy alone will be a powerful tool to threaten the enemy. Because if we don't help us, we will be slaves and untouchables after the war."
Zhou blinked and looked at Zhao Hu with some uncertainty. When he saw Zhao Hu nodding with a smile, he stopped saying a word.
Actually, it is true that people on my side contribute to their efforts and money to increase their lives. After conquering the land, the enemy who was originally the enemy could actually be on an equal footing with him? How can this be done! Well, with this great function that can be used to threaten the enemy, it seems that Peter's identity hierarchy is pretty good.
Peter continued: "The common people are the lower people above, specifically referring to those who live in our territory for more than three years. As long as people who pay grain and tax for four years or enter the military and yamen, they will automatically obtain the civilian level. Of course, the years specified here refer to ordinary people who have not won meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious me
"When civilians receive three points of merit, they will serve as Shangmin. Once they are immediately granted twenty acres of permanent land for Shangmin, the appointment of military and yamen will also give priority to Shangmin. Moreover, when people below the civilians see Shangmin, they must give way."
"Twenty acres of land passed down from generation to generation?! The treatment of the people is so high?! There are still those three merits? What are these three merits?" Zhou asked curiously.
"Three enemy heads." Peter said the words that made people feel cold indifferent.
Zhou couldn't help but stagnate for a moment, then frowned and said, "If this happens, will there be endless things to kill good and make achievements!"
Peter shook his head and said, "No, if the people want to serve the people, only if the enemy invades or mob thieves appear, and they must also obtain joint confirmation of the local garrison and the yamen to issue an order, the heads won will be considered a merit.
Zhou Song opened his eyebrows and said, "Oh, this can limit the killing of innocent people, but in this way, it is not difficult for civilians to serve the people. Especially when we are so strong that not only do not have foreign enemies to invade, but also extinct thieves in the territory, it is impossible for civilians to serve the people."
"Haha, in addition to military merits, there are also merits in governance that can help them advance. Paying grain and taxes to a certain extent is also merits. If you have merits, you can still advance." Peter smiled.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Hu said: "Take bravery and craftsmen innovate technology are also included in the meritorious service."
“Uh, yes.”
Although Peter felt that craftsmen could also advance, he thought it was a wonderful idea. He vigorously improved his status as a craftsman and would probably attract craftsmen from the surrounding areas.
You should know that the status of grassroots craftsmen in the entire empire is inferior to that of pigs and dogs. If they can attract them all, other warlords will not have to think about equipping the army with their own weapons.
"What is the level above the Shangmin?" Zhou began to be curious.
"The superiors and above are divided into warriors and sages. The subordinates thought that the warriors were best divided into five levels and fifteen levels, and the same was true for the scholars. However, the subordinates were foolish and could not think of the name, so they asked the lord to help them naming them." Peter bowed to Zhao Hu and said.
Zhou curled his lips. This guy has really reached the point of being perfect.
Of course, Zhao Hu knew Peter's intentions, but he didn't care. After thinking for a while, he said, "Samurai is divided into five levels: strong, brave, brave, fierce, and powerful. Each time he is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower levels. Scholars are diligent, honest, sincere, rational, and bright, and also divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower levels?"
After Peter was obviously stunned for a moment, his lord actually took the requirements for military officials as a hierarchy name? However, this was easier for the public to understand than the more majestic and elegant names he thought.
He couldn't help but immediately sincerely worship and praise him, and after a while he said, "Lord, I think there should be a higher level equal to Wu, so that our identity hierarchy system will be perfect."
Zhao Hu and Zhou both knew that the so-called fifth-class warriors were actually the fifth-class duke, the Duke, Marquis, Bo Zinan, who corresponded to the noble title. Now Peter said that he was one less, that was the level of the king.
Zhou curled his lips and said that he should not be too arrogant to avoid being suppressed. I think he was too arrogant! All the titles are available, so you can start a country and establish a career! Of course, Zhou's opinion was directed at Peter.
Zhao Hu didn't care about these things at all and said directly: "The top warriors are the masters, and the top warriors are the national soldiers, and they are also the top, middle, and lower levels."
Zhou was stunned by counting with his fingers. His official rank seemed to be only six levels, but in this way, he was more than the original retainer level. But don’t forget that this is a martial division, which is equivalent to doubled!
And they even divided the sixth grade of slaves, untouchables, common people, subordinates, civilians, and superior people. The entire identity hierarchy system is actually twelve-level and twenty-fourth!
Oh my God! Who was saying just now that the Qin family has too many levels, which will eliminate the climbing up from below?
This guy is like dividing the levels into a more detailed manner!
Although Zhou complained, he also knew that with such a hierarchy, coupled with the preferential treatment of each hierarchy, the people below would definitely climb up for fear of their lives. This is not only easy to manage, but also easier to hold the whole territory. This identity hierarchy system is really great!
As long as it is beneficial to your own adults, you will never refute that week.
"Well, your proposal is good, but the treatment between each level must be huge, generous, and strict identity registration must be implemented in combination with household registration. Only in this way can such a hierarchy be implemented.
"You go back and sort it out, and take it back to Mingyue City to convene everyone to discuss and discuss, determine the benefits of each level, and how to determine the martial arts merits, how to calculate and how to advance, and then take it over after it is done." Zhao Hu said. He was very clear about government affairs issues, especially the issue of setting up a system like this, and it cannot be implemented according to his own take for granted.
After careful consideration and discussion by the ministers, the results obtained must be much better than what he took for granted by himself, so Zhao Hu directly asked Peter to go back and take the lead in formulating this system.
"Yes, my subordinates surrendered." Peter said with politeness, and Zhou was also a well-behaved person, so he naturally gave Peter a farewell instead of Zhao Hu.
The two of them seemed to have no topic to talk about, and they both walked silently. Suddenly, Peter stopped and looked at Zhou and said, "Master Zhou, do you still call your lord the Lord?"
Zhou Bing blinked and was confused: "What? Is there anything wrong?"
