After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 290 Military Duke System

Using food to satisfy Fu Chai's ambitions, after he tastes the marrow, he will definitely be unable to stop. After all, what can be obtained for nothing is much better than what he has worked so hard to wait for.

After hearing this, Mengdi showed great joy on his face, and he directly slapped his hands and said with a smile.

"Mr. Bai's method can be said to be hard to guard against. On the surface, it seems that my country of Han has been subdued, and it seems to be weak and deceitful. If this is the case, Fu Chai will have no scruples."

"In this way, when the time comes, inform Mr. Yan and try to persuade Bo Pi to let Wu continue to fight abroad. In this way, Wu will be completely under our control, but we still need to pay attention to it."

"Although Fu Chai is brave and ruthless, he is not an incompetent person. Once he reacts in the future, he will definitely fight back against us. This time we have added a large number of people, so let Tancheng give priority to conscription."

"Mr. Youji is guarding Tancheng. As long as there are enough troops, I will be relieved. In addition, we must find a way to open up wasteland in Huaicheng as soon as possible. Since we still need to supply the grain of Wu, then we must do a good job." sufficient preparation."

Bai Gui nodded after listening, then slowly frowned, and said helplessly.

"Now the people in Huaicheng are used to this kind of life, and this kind of life is relatively comfortable, so the aggressiveness is slowly beginning to lose. This is not a good thing. This time we have received a large number of population supplements, and opened up wasteland in a short period of time. no problem."

"I'm afraid that after a long time, they will also get used to ease. This is not a good thing for the Han Dynasty. We should find a way to mobilize their enthusiasm. Otherwise, we will all take the land of barbarians in the future."

"It will still be a headache at that time, there are no people who open up wasteland, and although Wu State occupies a large amount of territory now, their population is insufficient, and many places are in a state of barrenness. If Wu State is captured in the future, this will become A big problem."

And Mengdi smiled on his face after listening, and said with a very confident expression.

"Common people are all profit-seeking. The reason why they are unwilling to open up wasteland is because there are not enough benefits. Recently, I have been thinking about this matter, so I am planning to introduce the military merit system."

Because the Han Dynasty continued the military merit system of the Qin Dynasty, Mengdi is very familiar with it, and this system is applicable to any place, whether it is good farming or local officials are diligent in doing things and have technical schools.

Anyone who can be easily inspected can participate in it. In this way, with the improvement of social status, the people of Han will flock to it, and the lack of enterprising spirit will be easily resolved.

But this system is still an advanced existence now, Bai Gui frowned and said after thinking for a while.

"In this way, if some people who are not worthy of virtue become officials in one place, then the common people will be harmed because of this, and I am afraid that they will do bad things with good intentions."

Because in Bai Gui's view, today's titles and rights are linked to a certain extent, once there are a large number of nobles, it will definitely not be a good thing for the rule of South Korea.

After hearing what he said, Mengdi smiled indifferently, and immediately opened his mouth to explain.

"The military merit system is just an additional reward, which is used to show an individual's social status. Not only officials can have it, but civilians can also have it. After they have these rights, they can supervise local lawlessness."

"And the imperial court will give them salaries according to their titles. This is a status symbol, not linked to official positions, but only exists as a reward. The main purpose is to encourage ordinary people not to be content with the status quo."

"Of course, this system should focus on military merit, but other aspects can also be included. For example, if someone farms the fields, he can get a title if he is better than others, and he can get a title if he is outstanding in local affairs."

"Afterwards, I will sort out the system. At that time, Mr. Sun will discuss with Mr. Ji and Mr. Yan, and it will be confirmed. As long as I have the confidence to implement it, the appearance of Han Dynasty will be changed."

With such an explanation, Bai Gui probably understood the usefulness of this system, and was a little amazed in his heart. Meng Di was able to find another way. After such a system was developed, the whole Han Kingdom would be crazy about it.

You must know that in the current society, the class system is dense. To obtain further opportunities, in addition to obtaining military merits, that is to obtain the appreciation of the lord. Under such circumstances, it is very difficult to advance.

However, once the military merit system is in place, ordinary people can change their fate through their own efforts. As long as they have the corresponding title and their abilities match it, they can become a new nobleman.

Thinking of this, Bai Gui was greatly admired, and said with a look of admiration on his face.

"If this system can be announced, presumably the people of the Han Kingdom will work hard not to be outdone, and the current peaceful and comfortable life will be broken immediately, but in this case, a large amount of property will inevitably be spent. "

"This needs to set a rule from the beginning and make a long-term plan, so that this system can be maintained. Otherwise, there will be no sufficient benefits for having a title, and it will be counterproductive."

Regarding Bai Gui's worries, Meng Di also felt that it was very necessary. Although the military merit system has advantages, it also has disadvantages, that is, it will increase the financial burden, but he thinks it is necessary.

As long as you have made contributions to Han, you can get corresponding rewards, plus the burden of military expenses. If the money is misappropriated for a long time, the result can be imagined, so Meng Di thought about it. said afterwards.

"You can increase the rights of these titles. For example, the lowest level is the public servant. They can see officials without paying homage, and have the right to directly submit a letter. Then, the higher the title, the greater the power."

"As for financial rewards, they can be reduced as appropriate, and a fixed portion of the financial revenue should be set aside every year. Rules must be established to form a routine, so as to ensure the smooth and smooth operation of the military merit system."

"Mr. Bai is quite good at business guidance. I will leave this matter to you. It is best to come up with a system that has the best of both worlds but is not expensive. In this way, a system of supervising officials can be formed among the people to avoid breeding corruption. Rotten Wind."
