Chapter 991
991 Leaving his name in history
Your Majesty, there are two main contents of the new system of military merits. First, whoever has made military merits will be awarded the title of nobility regardless of his or her family background. Whoever is awarded the title will be given a corresponding fief, land, house, servant, and other rewards! Xia Pingan replied in a deep voice.
“That’s right, it should be like this!” Qin xiaogong listened and nodded, ” what about the second? ”
“Second, the Imperial clan can not be registered as a subordinate without military merits!”
As soon as Xia Pingan said this, Qin xiaogong couldn’t help but gasp slightly, and his face suddenly became serious.
Xia Pingan sighed in his heart. The reason why Shang Yang was immediately executed after Duke Xiao of Qin passed away was obvious from the military Merit title that he had formulated. The first Military Merit title was still acceptable, but the second Military Merit title had instantly destroyed the rice bowls of the second generation of the Qin State. In the past, all the children of the royal family and aristocrats were born with hereditary privileges, high positions, high salaries, and fiefs. They had won at the starting line from birth and lived in luxury. The moment Shang Yang’s system of military titles came out, if these second-generation heirs did not go to the battlefield to fight for their lives, they would not have a title. On this day alone, Shang Yang would be hated to the bone by the Qin royal family.
In the history books, it was said that Shang Yang’s reform had affected the interests of the Qin’s aristocrats. It was a simple sentence, but in reality, behind this so-called impact, countless Royal and aristocratic families had to face bloody deaths and rolling heads. The backlash behind this was not something that Shang Yang could handle alone.
the imperial family can’t be registered as a family without military merits, ” Qin xiaogong muttered to himself. He held his forehead with his hand and hesitated for a moment before asking Xia Pingan, ” must we do this? isn’t this too harsh? ”
“Your Majesty, if not for this, it would have been difficult to implement the military Merit baronage system. This rule is actually the foundation of the new military Merit baronage system. The land, food, houses, and population of the various counties and counties of great Qin are limited. If we allow those who have not contributed an inch to the country to occupy these things, how will we reward those who have contributed? Even if your Majesty is soft-hearted, how can the country bear the burden in the long run? how can we have the strength to expand our territory?” Xia Pingan replied in a deep voice.
Duke Xiao of Qin didn’t say anything. This was a very simple reason. It wasn’t that he didn’t understand it. However, if this policy was implemented, it would cause a great backlash.
Duke Xiao of Qin pondered for a moment and slowly nodded, ” as for the details of the military Merit title, please continue!
there are 20 ranks for military merits. From low to high, they are Gongshi, shangzao, chantiao, bugeng, Daoist, guanni, guanni, guanni, guanni, guanni, guanni, guanni, guanni, guanni, guanni, guanni, guanni, and chehou. Ranks 1 and 2 are for soldiers, ranks 3 and above are for military officials, ranks 9 and above are for generals, and ranks 19 and 20 are for Marquis.
“As long as the soldiers of the state of Qin behead the enemy’s ‘soldier’, they will be awarded the rank of Duke, an plot of land, a house, and a servant. Their annual salary will be 50 stone coins. This rank is only one rank higher than the people, and they still need to serve! The more enemies you kill, the higher the title you will be awarded, and the corresponding land, house, and population will also be greater. As long as you kill two enemies, if your parents are prisoners, you can be released, and if your wife is a slave, you can be converted into a civilian.”
As Xia ping ‘an explained the system of military merits to Duke Qin, he sighed to himself. If this system were to be put in the later generations, those who joined the Army would be given a three-bedroom house for each enemy they killed on the battlefield, 1500 kilograms of special rice every year, a life-long Nanny or the corresponding employment fee hired by the country, and a Cemetery after death would be arranged according to the specifications. Young people who wanted to join the army would be able to squeeze through the gates of the Army, so there was no need to worry about the source of soldiers. The system that Shang Yang had designed could be said to be the ancestor of the “leveling up by killing monsters” system. It was almost like the “life advancement guide” for the ordinary people of the Qin country. Even after thousands of years, this system still had its own unique charm.
Duke Xiao of Qin was very interested in this system and kept asking about the details. Xia ping ‘an also explained the entire system to Duke Xiao of Qin, from the division of titles, treatment, to the approval of military merits in the Army, to how to implement it in the local counties, to the depreciation of value, the fight for money, the demotion, punishment, and other punishment mechanisms.
For this kind of National matter, it was impossible for Qin xiaogong to make a decision in front of Shang Yang the first time he heard about it. However, it was clear that Qin xiaogong was very impressed with this system of Military Merit.
When Qin xiaogong said that he would consider it carefully and let Xia ping ‘an go back first, the realm Pearl was successfully fused and the world of the realm Pearl shattered.
……
In the secret room, as the fluctuations of Xia ping ‘an’s divine power stopped, the light cocoon on his body dissipated, and Xia ping’ an slowly opened his eyes.
as expected of the representative figure of legalism. After the integration of this realm Pearl, it’s only a Military Merit point system, but it’s already worth 100 points of divine power. It seems like the representatives of the hundred schools of philosophy have been rewarded handsomely with the corresponding realm Pearl when they make groundbreaking contributions, ” Xia Pingan muttered to himself.
At this moment, as the integration of the realm Pearl was completed, the upper limit of Xia Pingan’s divine power in his secret mandala became 27318 points, and it had been less than ten minutes since the integration of the realm Pearl.
Within the secret mandala, there was also a special statue. It was a statue of Shang Yang holding a bamboo scroll. On the bamboo scroll, there were three small, bright symbols. On it were the words ” Military Merit Baron.
The bamboo scroll could be summoned.
With a curious attitude, Xia ping ‘an tried to summon the bamboo slip once. After injecting 20 points of divine power into it, the ancient and heavy bamboo slip suddenly appeared in front of him. The bamboo slip exuded a faint golden light and slowly unfolded in front of Xia ping’ an. There were only four words on the unfolded part. Two words were written on the top, the red word ” Military Merit “, and below the word ” Military Merit ” were the Golden word ” zero ” and the black word ” stone “.
Military merits!
Zero stones!
interesting … Xia Pingan was a little embarrassed, but he still smiled. He closed his eyes and felt the connection between him and the bamboo slip. After a long time, he opened his eyes and waved his hand. The bamboo slip disappeared from his eyes and reappeared on the sculpture’s hand in the secret Mandala Temple. this secret technique is indeed magical. The words on the bamboo slip are part of the secret technique and can not be changed by the summoner. Instead, it faithfully records the summoner’s military achievements. Zero stones. Stones were the food unit of a Military Merit point. According to the standard of a Military Merit point, killing an armored soldier was 50 stones. This secret technique could convert all the contribution and merit into stones. The so-called Military Merit points were actually how many stones there were! It seems that it’s not easy to earn military merits!”
