The new Lord system not only perfectly inherited the system of titles of Shang and Zhou dynasties, but also completely separated the fiefs of nobles and the official ranks of officials.

The lord can only collect grain taxes from fiefs, and officials will enfeoff certain official fields and distribute different official ranks according to the size of the official position. In order to completely cut off the exploitation and plunder of the nobles' possible fief farmers, Chen Xu asked all fiefs lords who were falsely enfeoffed could not manage and collect taxes by themselves, and they would be distributed by local county officials according to national standards, and completely deprived the nobles of their rights. In this way, whether it is a lord or an lordless official, they would change it to a salary in disguise.

The aristocratic class generally made contributions to the country, and it was reasonable to use a large amount of national taxes to give rewards, which was in line with the tradition left over from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and more in line with the recognition of the people, gentry and officials.

Chen Xu also used this new Lord Act to completely change the fiefdom, fief, real estate, land and other past real seals into false seals, and finally converted them into money payments.

If it were in the past, this cash-based Lord Act would have been impossible to promote, but now after the monetary reform, money has become the only legal currency, and this method has also had a natural effect.

The most special thing about Chen Xu's new Lord Act is the restoration of the title of prince, and the use of two different titles, prince and prince, solved a huge hidden danger, and completely solved the embarrassing situation that the royal family had no status after the abolition of the feudal system.

In order to completely eliminate the traces left by the six countries, the First Emperor unified Li Si's policy and abolished the national feudal system to promote county management. In addition to the Qin Dynasty's military title system that had no military merits and no titles, the status of the royal family became increasingly weaker and the royal family could not make meritorious contributions, except for the crown princes, all the royal family members were equal to common people and would be completely suppressed by court officials and nobles. Therefore, the First Emperor had no choice but to continue to marry important officials and use foreign relatives to stabilize the imperial power. However, foreign relatives were actually not reliable at all. The former overlord Jin State was divided by court officials, and these important ministers almost had close ties with the royal family of the Great Jin Dynasty. However, in order to be kings, they were not ruthless at all. The three families of Han, Zhao and Wei divided Jin, and the Jin royal family also disappeared from then on.

If the rights of the royal family cannot be guaranteed and the sufficient power of the royal family is guaranteed, the Qin Dynasty will likely follow in the footsteps of Jin State.

Now the feudal system has begun to be implemented. Four princes have successively divided the feudals and become monarchs of the princes. Especially the governance of the three kings of Liao Dynasty and Liang Dynasty that were previously divided were very good. In recent years, they have had very close contacts with the Qin Dynasty. They have been in full swing for many years, including caravans, cattle, horses, livestock, fur, wool, medicinal materials, etc., and the Central Plains' grain, cloth, porcelain, silk, paper, steel, glass, tea, etc., have also leaked in large quantities. The advantages of commercial complementarity are relatively obvious. The Donghu Xiongnu and Yuezhi are also becoming increasingly stable, and the animal husbandry, agriculture, commerce, education, etc. have also made great progress.

According to the current world pattern, the exclusion of princes is the best, safest and most advantageous method for the Qin Dynasty to conquer the world, and the county system is at most a supplement.

Chen Xu's first new Lord bill was not written in detail enough, and the First Emperor was still hesitating. However, today's second edition of the new Lord bill perfectly solved the concerns of the First Emperor, and also perfectly solved the identity and status of the royal family, which would completely consolidate the royal family's dominance over the Qin Dynasty.

The First Emperor read a memorial that was not thick for twenty minutes, and read it almost word by word. He even had to go back and read it again and twice again after reading a few sentences.

Finally, seeing more and more smiles on the face of the First Emperor, the discussions of civil and military officials slowly calmed down.

Looking at the expression of the First Emperor, everyone knows that the answer is about to be revealed.

Sure enough, when the First Emperor finally finished reading the last page, his eyes fell on the last line of words and paused for a little bit, and then he closed the memorial with unfulfilled wish. Then he looked up and glanced over the entire court hall and spoke: "I think the revised new Lord Act of the Grand Master is suitable and in line with the Great Qin State. The Su Mansion Order read this bill once and let all the beloved ministers comment after hearing it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Su Yue carefully took the thin book and couldn't wait to open it. After scanning the first page with ten lines, his face trembled slightly and recited.

"The new Lords Act has planned a total of sixth-class titles, namely the first-class title prince, the recipient of the title's blood relatives, and can be granted the title's title according to their ability and control the land of a country..."

"The second-class prince, the royal family who received the title had great achievements..."

"The third-class Duke..."

As Su Yue read clearly and calmly, the civil and military officials in the court were also moved, sometimes excited, sometimes confused, sometimes depressed, sometimes shaking his beard and eyebrows, obviously feeling very excited.

Soon after the content of the bill was read, the civil and military officials in the court expressed their different expressions, and most of them were still very excited. In any case, once this new Lord Act was implemented, it would completely change the system of military merits and titles. In the future, in addition to military merits, the ruling achievements will also be included in the merit assessment. In this way, even if the government and county officials who govern the country do not fight, as long as they are dedicated and hardworking, they can still be awarded titles. Even if they are the second most baron, there will be 300 households to be granted fiefs, which is more than enough to support a family of decent life. In addition, the official land and official rank can be regarded as a wealthy family.

The fief is secondly. You can get money when you become an official. The biggest benefit of title is fame, because this is an era that emphasizes superiority and inferiority. These noble titles are face, identity and status, and will be respected when entering and leaving, because these are all symbols of merit.

Some are happy and excited, but naturally some are depressed and disappointed.

Chen Xu's new proposal stipulates that only the royal family can be granted a king and the royal family can be granted a feud. It immediately cut off the promises of Zhao Hai, Hu Hai and others to give to some civil and military officials of the court.

If the First Emperor's decree is promulgated and implemented, even if Hu Hai usurped the throne and ascended the throne, it would be a problem whether he could get the treatment of the vassal state he wanted at the risk of the three tribes.

"Your Majesty, I think when will the Lord's Act of the Left Prime Minister be promulgated and implemented?" Amid the buzzing discussion in the court, Feng Quji was the first to stand up and post it.

"I'm going to ask!" Meng Yi also stood up.

Both Feng Quji and Meng Yi agreed with this Lord Act. They were firm supporters and supporters of the First Emperor. This Lord Act, which was obviously to consolidate the imperial power, would greatly safeguard the stability of the Qin Dynasty and greatly appease the hearts of civil and military officials.

"I'm going to discuss it!" As soon as I hula, most of the court officials stood up and saluted.

The First Emperor glanced at the eyes of the ministers who did not stand up and agreed to the proposal. "Since all my dear friends agreed, it would be good. This Lord's bill will be promulgated and implemented by the Secretariat. The three provinces and six ministries cooperated with the new bill to re-arrange the rank of the Lord. The time limit is for one year. Before the Shangsi Festival, all the marquis and above must be completed, and the Ministry of Rites will re-issue the new title edict and seal ceremonial guards!"

"I will obey the order!" All the civil and military officials bowed together to salute.

Less than half an hour before, the Lord's bill, which made the First Emperor hesitate for half a year, was successfully passed.

Not only did the First Emperor breathe a sigh of relief, but most civil and military officials in the court sat down with a smile and began to communicate left and right to discuss the topic of how to win merits after the implementation of the new Lord Act.

The great Qin Dynasty was rare. In the past, it was all about killing enemies and exchanging their lives for wealth.

Although Chen Xu's new Lord Act broke the situation of military merits and titles, it is still not easy to be granted. Generally speaking, the title of Daqin is precious and can only be obtained by ordinary merit. The higher the title, the more difficult it is. To be granted a Duke and a marquis, you must have a great contribution.

So after a heated discussion, the emotions in the court slowly calmed down. In a short period of time, it is probably not very likely that those sitting in the court will receive a reward. Those with a lord are just re-arranged according to the Lord's Act, changing a name or a title. In fact, there is no big change. The one with the greatest impact is the lower-level officials, which gives them more hope and opportunity to grant titles and stimulates them to work harder.

"Your Majesty, since the Lord's Bill is implemented, I request that Your Majesty also pass the Medals Bill to implement it together. The Lord's Bill is mainly aimed at soldiers and officials, while the Medals Bill is targeted at the civilians. The two bills are coordinated to implement them, which will greatly arouse the vitality of the people!" After the discussions of civil and military officials calmed down, Chen Xu stood up and spoke.

"Well, the Grand Master's words are reasonable. The Medal Act is awarded to elites from all walks of life for special contributions. It is indeed an excellent way to stimulate the vitality of the people. I am sure that this matter will be the Grand Master. The Medal Act will be published in the Daqin Metropolis Daily and implemented!"

"I obey the order!" Chen Xu bowed his hand, but did not sit down, but took out a few more pieces of hemp pulp from the briefcase beside him.

The First Emperor's face shook slightly, and all the civil and military officials in the court looked at Chen Xu with grinning.

"Your Majesty, I have another supplementary proposal on the Lord's Bill, which is aimed at several special circumstances that may occur in the overseas conquest plan that may be faced in the next few years. I feel that this proposal has not been thorough. However, since the Lord's Bill has been implemented, I feel that I still need to make some preparations and arrangements first to avoid causing many misunderstandings among the court and the people. Please take a look!" Chen Xu presented the memorial with both hands.

"Hu~" The civil and military officials in the court breathed a sigh of relief. While relaxing, they all became more curious. They stretched their necks and looked at the memorial sent by Su Yue to the imperial case of the First Emperor.

Supplementary proposals on the Lords Act.

The First Emperor's eyes flashed across the cover, and then he opened the first page with curiosity and suspicion.

There is not much content, only five pages in total.

The First Emperor watched it very quickly, but he frowned and twisted his beards and was stunned during the reading process. In less than half a moment, the First Emperor closed the memorial and nodded slightly to Chen Xu and said, "The Grand Master is considerate and carefully. These situations may indeed happen in the future. If they occur, I will definitely deal with it properly!"
