"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1291
"The sons of the princes and uncles also need to be further subdivided and the grades should be increased in order to enjoy the corresponding level of salary."
"Your Majesty, please clarify."
After Chen Ziang finished speaking, Li Qiye also had difficulty guessing Chen Ziang's specific thoughts for a while, so he respectfully asked Chen Ziang to explain.
"For example, dukes can be subdivided into first-rank dukes, second-rank dukes, third-rank dukes, etc., to enjoy corresponding levels of treatment."
"The same can be said for marquises, which can be subdivided into first-rank marquises, second-rank marquises, third-rank marquises, etc."
Chen Ziang's meaning is very simple, that is to increase the current five-level title to fifteen.
The highest rank is the first-rank duke, and the lowest rank is the third-rank baronet.
"Anyone who has obtained a title can obtain tax-free land of the corresponding level, can wear robes of the same level, and enjoy the court treatment of the corresponding level. In addition, if he commits a felony, he can avoid death once, but the title must be reduced accordingly. Level three."
Chen Ziang also knew that the nobles of the past dynasties enjoyed powerful privileges and became a mountain of pressure on the common people.
However, these nobles are the emperor's most steadfast support, and they are an indispensable part of maintaining the rule.
If Chen Zi'ang wanted to stabilize his position, he must reward those ministers with meritorious service and let them become the defenders of the empire.
But at the same time, he also had to prevent these dignitaries from becoming too powerful and becoming a burden to the people.
Therefore, Chen Ziang decided to grant certain restrictions to these nobles while granting privileges.
These meritorious ministers can obtain corresponding titles, and at the same time enjoy various privileges such as tax exemption and hereditary.
However, there are restrictions on tax-free land. For example, the lowest third-rank baron can be allocated 50 acres of land without paying taxes.
In other words, only 50 acres of land do not pay taxes, blocking the tax-free channels for other people who want to rely on his name, and reducing the loss of court taxes.
Moreover, there is only one escape from death, and the price paid is to reduce the third-level title, which makes them afraid.
The title of title can also be hereditary, but for the hereditary heir, Chen Ziang also decided to play a cautious role, that is, to abolish the primogeniture inheritance system.
"In order to ensure that the heir to the title is good enough, the eldest son inheritance system is abolished. Among the descendants, the outstanding ones can inherit the title, and they need to be personally received by the emperor in the imperial capital to grant a new seal."
Chen Zi'ang did this to further limit the power of these titled people.
Because it is impossible for a family to have only one descendant, but there is only one heir to the title.
Therefore, in order to obtain the inheritance of this title, their family will inevitably fight among themselves.
After some infighting, he was qualified as the heir to the title, and he still needs the approval of the emperor of the empire before he can officially inherit it.
This also means that all heirs to titles will remain in awe of the emperor. Once there is no emperor's approval, his competitors may replace him at any time.
At the same time, those family children who have lost their heir qualifications will not have corresponding privileges, but are no different from ordinary people.
This prevents those with titles from expanding the family as the family spreads out, and more and more people enjoy privileges, and eventually become blood-sucking insects on the common people.
Chen Ziang re-adjusted the reward plan and details in the Li Qiye News.
After seeing these adjustments made by Chen Ziang, Li Qiye also felt that he was not as good as he was, and felt that he still did not consider things thoroughly.
"After you go back, carefully adjust the list of proposed rewards according to the new standards, and then report to me."
After Chen Ziang and Li Qiye discussed and adjusted the details, he asked Li Qiye to take it back and revise it again.
"No."
"I don't know if His Majesty has any orders. If there are no orders, I will leave."
Li Qiye now also wants to be busy going back to implement this matter as soon as possible, and get rid of this burden.
Because the fact that he was responsible for formulating the reward charter and drawing up the list has spread, the result is that there is an endless stream of people visiting the door, and some of them are people who hold important positions.
Although he, Li Qiye, is now a popular person in front of Chen Ziang, he dare not trust these people's visits, so he can only receive them one by one.??He is also very tired.
Just the reception is okay, but Li Qiye is also quite embarrassed when facing various schemes and trying to get more benefits when conferring rewards.
Because there are only so many cakes, if you give one person more, the other person will definitely get less, which is very offensive.
In order to avoid offending others, Li Qiye also played tricks. At that time, he fully agreed to do what he should do.
Even if the final reward was not what they wanted, he could still push it to Chen Ziang, saying that it was Chen Ziang who made the final decision.
"Don't rush back, I still have something important to discuss with you."
Seeing that Li Qiye was about to say goodbye and leave, Chen Ziang smiled and asked him to stay.
"I don't know what your Majesty's orders are?"
Hearing that there is still something important to do, Li Qiye is also at a loss.
"Master Qin has already decided on the framework of the various departments of the imperial court, and decided to set up the General Affairs Office, Seven Departments, Two Courts, and Thirty-Six Divisions."
"Among them, the General Affairs Office is rotated by the heads of the seven ministries and the two courts, and the chiefs of the other seven ministries and the two courts are senior officials who are under me and above ten thousand."
"I have appointed Qin An as the Chief of the Ministry of Officials, as the first rotating chief of the General Affairs Office, and is temporarily in charge of the current affairs."
After hearing Chen Ziang's words, although Li Qiye remained calm on the surface, he was quite nervous in his heart.
After all, what I said just now was all about other people's rewards and positions, but now it immediately concerns me.
"I have decided that you will be the chief of the Ministry of War, in charge of the world's soldiers, horses, food, equipment and other affairs. What do you think?"
Chen Ziang cast his eyes on Li Qiye and asked with a smile.
"I am a humble minister with little talent and learning, and I am afraid that I will be embarrassing. Please take back your majesty's order."
Hearing that Chen Ziang wanted to appoint him as the chief of the Ministry of War, Li Qiye was excited, but also hastily declined.
Li Qiye was not pretending to refuse, because he knew that the Ministry of War was in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, but it was a position of high authority.
Although he is the chief of military affairs now, he is only making suggestions and responsible for rear supply.
However, the chief of the Ministry of War is a real position of real power, especially after the world is at peace, this position is quite hot.
What the emperor fears the most is the person who holds military power. He, the chief of the military department, is easily suspected by the emperor.
And to be honest, apart from doing some rear work during the South and North Wars, I didn't have any military merits.
If he serves as the chief of the military department, how can those arrogant soldiers below him subdue him?
"You don't want to refuse this matter, just tell me whether you can live up to my expectations and manage the affairs of the Ministry of War."
Chen Ziang didn't give Li Qiye a chance to refuse, so he made the final decision and chose him.
"Your Majesty, this"
"You are an old man who follows me. My original intention was to give you the title of first-rank duke, but the Ministry of War is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses. I don't feel relieved to change it to someone else. So do you understand what I mean?"
"Your Majesty has shown you kindness to me, and now she trusts me so much, I will go through fire and water to repay Your Majesty's grace."
Seeing how Chen Ziang confided in him, Li Qiye was also very moved.
"If you take the actual position of the chief of the Ministry of War, then the title will be correspondingly lower. You have to be mentally prepared for this."
Compared with those reward regulations written on paper, Chen Ziang also has his own set of standards in his heart.
That is the old brothers of his direct line, who must have the real power of various departments, so they will be given real positions and become the actual power holders of the empire.
As for people such as Deputy Commander Meng Jianbo who used to be high-ranking and powerful, but were not considered direct descendants, he would reward them with false titles, even if they were higher, so that they could not grasp the actual power.
