Liu Ximing gave a lot of thought to the civil and military hero Lord.

Referring to the experience of later generations and taking into account social development factors, in order to maintain the identity of the Liu family to the greatest extent, the Lord will be the most important force in the Han Dynasty.

"Yes, it's a seventh-level title, but everyone hears it clearly, there is a difference."

As soon as Liu Ximing said these words, the court fell silent again.

"I have decided to divide the civil and military heroes into three categories: hereditary and hereditary, hereditary and non-hereditary."

"Hereditary disregard?"

This term coined by Liu Ximing immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Taiwei Cao Bianjiao cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what this hereditary disregard means?"

Liu Ximing stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"Hereditary elimination is compared to the previous hereditary succession. The title of hereditary succession will no longer be reduced from the previous generation to the next generation, and can be passed on forever."

"This method is used by emperors to reward meritorious officials as much as possible. This was the case with Wei Guogong, Xu Guogong, Cheng Guogong, etc. in the Ming Dynasty."

"But everyone has also seen how these hereditary nobles who should have retired with the Ming Dynasty behaved in this Chinese catastrophe."

"People like Cheng Guogong and Xu Guogong all rush to surrender to the enemy in times of great difficulty, but on weekdays they are at the mercy of the common people. What they rely on is this hereditary substitution."

"We, the Han Dynasty, are the people's political power, and I will never allow such worms to exist. However, considering everyone's contribution to the founding of the country, it is not enough to not reward them heavily."

"According to my hereditary rule, for example, if you, Cao Bianjiao, are granted the title of Duke of hereditary rule, then your son will inherit the title of marquis, and the descendants will be demoted to the rank of marquis. But when you reach the rank of knight, the queen of your Cao family will

People no longer have to be exonerated, they can always maintain their noble status, and they can continue to be promoted if they make new achievements in the future."

Cao Bianjiao suddenly realized and laughed:

"I understand, your Majesty's move is indeed a wise one."

"The descendants of my ministers have to be demoted to a higher rank, so they can no longer rest on their ancestors' merits and enjoy their achievements. By not removing their rank, they will always have the opportunity to be loyal to the royal family, and there will be more opportunities in the future."

After saying this, Cao Bianjiao knelt down and worshiped.

"Your Majesty has worked so hard for us, and I can't thank you enough."

"I am deeply grateful"

Yu Yongkai, Mu Jingnan, Li Jingsi and others all knelt down and shouted excitedly.

Liu Ximing looked pleased, "It would be best if you could understand my thoughts. I naturally hope that we can end up in peace with each other."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"I will live up to His Majesty's love."

Yu Yongkai, Mu Jingnan and other military ministers cried particularly hard. Since ancient times, all good birds have been hidden away. Although everyone and the second brother are as close as brothers, they still have to think about it.

Now that hereditary injustice has been eliminated, everyone feels at ease.

In addition, in the current military system, multiple systems such as the Ideological and Political Department and the Staff Department are intertwined. Generals can no longer privately own their troops and horses as in the past, and the emperor does not need to worry too much.

"I haven't finished speaking yet."

After some sighs from the emperor and his ministers, Liu Ximing wiped the corners of his eyes and said with a smile.

"I have said that the nobility will be an important pillar of my Dahan society. Although our Datong society advocates equality for everyone and social fairness, in terms of social development, before entering the Datong society, the powerful class will inevitably appear in human society.

"

"Since I can't stop it, I hope these people are your descendants. But there are restrictions. In order to avoid the situation in the Han Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty where the aristocrats controlled the government and the common people had no way to rise, I have to deal with it.

You impose the following restrictions.”

"First, in terms of official position."

"My Han Dynasty is mainly engaged in state-owned economy, so there will inevitably be a large number of state-owned positions in the future. I request that at all levels in the country, the positions occupied by our Han nobles, including the royal family, cannot exceed 20%, otherwise it will be lower than

Not high."

"In other words, among the five seats in the cabinet, there can only be at most one member of the nobility or royal family. The same goes for the others. The chief officials of each ministry and temple must all be controlled in proportion."

"hiss"

All the ministers in the court felt pain in their balls.

This move is a bit too harsh.

In this way, if there were 300 positions at the monastic level in the Han Dynasty, the nobility and royal family would occupy up to 60 positions.

Everyone can already imagine the competitive pressure in the future.

But for now, the ministers still have morality in their hearts, and everyone still accepts this ratio.

Liu Ximing then pointed out his second finger.

"The second is the economic aspect."

"In the future, the Han royal family, nobles and officials will all have their assets disclosed. I will never tolerate large-scale corruption."

"For the nobility and royal family, I plan to take part of the profits from Guoye Temple and Shaofu Temple as their annual salary and silver reward. This ratio is still stipulated at 20%."

"But from now on, the nobility and royal family can no longer own any other industries and must be completely tied to the development of the country."

"Wow"

As soon as this idea came out, the court became even more lively.

Liu Ximing's method really allowed the nobles and the country to live together with the country.

There cannot be other industries, which means that the income of the nobles can only be obtained from Guoye Temple and Shaofu Temple, and of course there may be income from positions.

In this way, everyone must keep an eye on places like Guoye Temple and Shaofu Temple, which is equivalent to finding a group of censors for the country who will never be careless. This move is really amazing.

Everyone is eager to know what the income of the nobles will be like in the future?

Now Xia Mingzhi, the Minister of Household Affairs, coughed and said:

"According to the financial plan of the first year of Han Dynasty

In terms of income, our household department’s annual fiscal revenue is 87 million taels, of which about 73 million taels come from Guoye Temple and Shaofu Temple.”

"Wow"

"so tall?"

This is ecstatic, such as Mu Jingnan, Shao Derong and others.

"so tall?"

This is someone with a worried look, such as Huang Zongxi, Sun Chuanting and others.

Liu Ximing clapped his hands and said:

"You don't need to speculate too much. First of all, this is a special period. Many taxes and fees are collected through companies such as Guoye Temple, which does not reflect the real situation. This ratio will definitely decrease in the future."

"Second, I'm talking about the net profits that Guoye Temple and Shaofu Temple turned over to the Ministry of Revenue. This also includes the funds necessary to maintain the development of state-owned businesses, so the overall situation is controllable."

"Of course, you don't have to worry about lack of money in the future. At present, the total currency of our country is only about 1.2 billion taels of silver. This amount is far from being able to support the development of the country, so reform is definitely needed."

"As long as the social economy develops, the financial situation of the entire country and the income of the people will increase accordingly. Then the income of the nobles will naturally increase."

Even if Liu Ximing said this, Huang Zongxi, Chen Zilong and other people with lofty ideals were still a little worried.

Huang Zongxi came out and said:

"Your Majesty, even so, our Datong Society aims to make everyone rich. If the income of the nobles is too high, I am afraid that the people in the world will not be willing to do so."

"Don't worry, sirs," Liu Ximing said with a smile. "This fund must be included in the projects reviewed by the assembly council like other financial funds. Now I will try it out during my reign. If there are many objections in the future, we will still

It can be reduced as appropriate."

"But you have to consider the benefits that this will bring. Firstly, the nobles do not have to worry about money, so they can naturally specialize in culture, artifacts and other work. Secondly, the nobles will have the right to review Guoye Temple and Shaofu Temple.

, we can also greatly reduce corruption, which can kill several birds with one stone."

Seeing that Huang Zongxi and others still had doubts, Liu Ximing had no choice but to promise again:

"Let's do this first. Everyone agrees in principle. Let's try it out for a few years. If there's anything wrong, we'll make changes later."

"I obey the decree"

Liu Ximing said so, Huang Zongxi and others naturally had no choice but to put him down first.

"Okay, since the matter of the title has been made clear, let's finish the matter of the title now so that everyone will not worry about it."

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter in the hall.

Liu Xian received Liu Ximing's signal, picked up an imperial edict from the side and read aloud:

"By the destiny of heaven, the emperor has issued an edict. In order to show his great contribution to the founding of the country, he ordered to reward all the officials. I, a descendant of the Liu family, have made many contributions to the great cause of the founding of the country. I will now make my third brother Xixian the heir of Han, and Xian the heir of Yue.
