The handwritten texts of the "Twelve Medals" were soon sent to the hands of every official who participated in today's meeting.

Some of them participated in the previous discussion, so they were more familiar with the above terms, while others only heard of their names and did not meet them.

The so-called Twelve Medals of Tiance is actually a roadmap for making meritorious contributions, occupying land, promotion, and title!

It is a Song Dynasty version of the military merit system!

This military title is actually the same as the military system, and it is not a thing of progress at all. No one in the Song Dynasty did not know these two things.

Among them, the system of the government troops was repeatedly discussed, and many famous officials and officials agreed. However, they did not dare to make a big deal, so they could only click to get a camp archer.

As for the reason, of course it involves the land that everyone loves...

Military merits are more stubborn than the military system of the government. This is a system that changes the rules for getting an official and getting promoted!

The matter of enthroning officials and awarding titles cannot be too "abused", so the total amount of officials and titles must be controlled. Otherwise, the disadvantages of redundant officials and abusing titles will consume the country's financial resources and will also consume the land that can be granted - the government's soldiers are responsible for the division of positions and land, and officials also have to be granted positions and land. Once the title is granted, they have to add a land of honor... It is easy to give land, but it is difficult to recover it!

Therefore, too many officials and nobles will make the system of military service impossible to maintain for a long time.

Therefore, once this military merit title begins to be implemented, the path to enrolling scholars in the imperial examinations and supporting officials will definitely become narrower!

In Zhao Kai's vision, the Song Dynasty, which will be reopened in the future, can no longer do special exams and become an official... at least before directly attacking Huanglong and sweeping the grasslands, you can't do it!

Only in this way can he make great contributions and become an official.

However, there is still a process to become an official. Being able to kill people does not mean becoming an official!

Therefore, after making meritorious deeds, you will first receive medals, then you will enter the palace, teach fields, enroll in school and examinee.

The so-called "entering the palace" refers to entering the military palace. The Tiance army will have corresponding military palaces in the future, and there will be Zhechong Palace under the military palace.

The military commanders of the various military commanders were in charge of the previous foreign soldiers, while the governments and Zhechong prefectures were in charge of military registration and camps.

In other words, when the Tiance Mansion soldiers served in the first military service, they were under the jurisdiction of each army, and after the next military service returned home, they were under the jurisdiction of the military service and Zhechong Mansion.

In this way, the control of the soldiers' personal control will be greatly weakened, and Zhao Kai himself can control the soldiers' families and industries more effectively through the Tiance Palaces...

With Tianshu and officials as government soldiers, it is more valuable. There must be many people who want to do it, so there will be certain thresholds.

To become a military soldier, you must first apply for recruitment and join the army, and after passing the assessment, you will become a utility soldier of the Tiance Army.

Only after the Utility Scholar has made meritorious service or has served for a certain period of time can he enter the mansion and become a soldier in the Tiance Mansion.

The soldiers of the Tiance Mansion were divided into twelve levels, called the twelve medals of Tiance. From bottom to top, they were respectively "lower middle and upper" meanings, "lower middle and upper" scholars, "lower middle and upper" doctors, and "lower middle and upper" nobles. There were more advanced titles after the Shangqing, but the title was not yet decided.

Once the Utility Master enters the palace, he will be awarded the title of Xia Yicong, and he will also be awarded the land. The standard for granting the land of Xia Yicong is "a hundred acres of land" (if it is actually awarded the upper field, the lower field will be reduced or increased). If the award goes up, the award will be given a hundred acres, and the Supreme Court will be given a thousand two hundred acres.

Of course, these granted fields are not ownership, but use rights with a certain time limit. The tentative time limit is one Jiazi, that is, sixty years. Unless the recipient of the granted fields still survives sixty years later, the land must be reclaimed.

After being awarded a land, of course he became an official!

If you are from the third level, you cannot be an official, but after you are promoted to a rank of lieutenant, you are qualified to be a ninth-rank official. The lieutenant goes up to the upper level, and the first-level honor corresponds to the first-level official.

However, being qualified does not mean that one can become an official. There are two ways to become an official: one is to enter the school first and then take the exam; the other is to take the exam.

Entering school means first going to the prefecture school opened by the Tiance Military Office, learning how to become an official (including an officer), and then passing the exam after completing the study, and then being appointed as an official.

The examiner, the winner of the title of the official who is qualified to be an official, passes the official examination and obtains the qualification to be an official.

If you don’t have a medal, of course you can become an official... The imperial examination must be retained. You can get up to 30 Jinshi in one examination. Just take the exam based on your ability!

In addition, the route of enlistment and Yinpu cannot be cancelled, but that is not the right way. If you cannot make up for the imperial examination or military merits, there is very limited room for improvement.

The right path in the future is first of all military merits; the other is to win thirty Jinshi in one examination.

Finally, the school of the military government will also be open to the children of the military government. They can learn literature and martial arts in the school. After they have the ability, they will become officials. But it will be much easier - this is actually a hidden way of ascending!

As long as the conditions are ripe, these military schools will become military academies or youth military academies... But that will happen a long time later.

......

The lobby was quiet. Although Zhao Kai asked everyone to speak freely, for a while, everyone stopped talking.

To be honest, everyone present had considerable concerns about implementing the two basic principles of "dividing land and land to share the world" and "making wealth and promotion rely on military merits".

If these two basic policies were proposed before the Song Dynasty, although they would cause some controversy, they would still be relatively easy for people to accept.

Because in that era, for the members of the poor landlord class, the main way to climb up was military merit. Even for some great geniuses who came from a family, obtaining military merit was also an important means for them to gain greater power. However, the starting price of these high-ranking talents was different, and they did not have to start a general at the beginning, and they did not have to start a self-employed army.

However, in the Song Dynasty, especially during the Xuanhe period, which had been founded for more than a hundred decades, the idea of ​​"everything is inferior, only reading is high" has been deeply rooted in people's hearts... Oh, this is not just an idea, but also a set of social wealth and power distribution methods that are more beneficial to most people within a certain period of time.

That’s right! Using the imperial examination as the ascending channel for the poor landlord class is of course a good side compared to using military merit as the ascending channel for the poor landlords.

Because military merits do not necessarily need to be obtained from killing foreign tribes and fighting national wars!

Rebellion, civil war, or even coups can lead to military merits!

If the poor landlords in the world are thinking about killing people and making contributions to the rise, this is not only because people who are emperors above cannot be at ease. The hard-working people below must also live a worried life... A good life may be shattered by the blows of Yuyang coming from the ground!

Therefore, after the establishment of the Song Dynasty, this system was only used by Zhu Yuanzhang in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, and later changed a military household system.

But Zhao Kai has no choice now, because the wealth he brought out from Kaifeng Prefecture and the wealth he looted in Hebei have been almost used for it-his army has expanded to 90,000!

Just the purchase of family purchases and the expenses of purchasing equipment, coupled with the rewards after the previous few victories, Zhao Kai's treasury has been hollowed out!

So from May, Zhao Kai's army could only pay half of the salary.

With the payment of half a salary, Zhao Kai also wanted his subordinates to support him as the emperor, and was preparing to further expand his army to 200,000 to 300,000 after seizing Shaanxi and Henan Prefectures... How could he do it without the government military system or military merits?

What kind of territory are Shaanxi, Hedong, and Henan Prefecture (Luoyang)? How can we rely on the tax revenue of these territories to support 200,000 to 300,000 soldiers?

"King, implement the "Twelve Medal System"! If you don't implement it, you won't be able to pay military pay!"

The chief of the General Administration, Lu Yihao, was the first to speak, but he gritted his teeth! As a scholar-official from the imperial examination, he certainly knew what the "Twelve Medals System" meant?

But he was the chief minister of Zhao Kai, and he knew best how empty Zhao Kai’s treasury was! If he didn’t draw the cakes, the people below would still be willing to help conquer the world! And what he did with Zhao Kai now... can only succeed, not fail!

"Brother, I, Han Er, also think that the "Twelve Medal System" is good!" Han Shizhong then expressed his support for the "Twelve Medal System". "My brother suggests that the "Twelve Medal System" be announced immediately among the army, so that things will be easier after arriving in Taiyuan!"

What he said was of course the support of Zhao Kai as the emperor!

"Second brother said it was extremely true!" Zhang Jun and Zhang San immediately followed up and supported, "With this "Twelve Medal System", the military generals below are their own people. Who else can they support if they don't support their elder brother?"

Zhao Kai nodded to show his appreciation. He had no money to pay, but he still needed everyone to support him and help him conquer the world. Of course, he could only issue "shares"! This "Twelve Medals System" actually created a certain type of employee shareholding.

After Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun finished speaking, the atmosphere in the lobby became obviously active. A group of generals led the army tied the support of Zhao Kai as the emperor and the implementation of the "Twelve Medals System", and of course they had to warmly agree.

Zhao Kai just nodded, but still didn't say anything. Finally, he turned his attention to Yue Fei and Yue Pengju, who had not spoken. What he cared about the most was actually the suggestion of this twelfth brother.

Yue Fei frowned, as if he was thinking hard, "Brother, speed is more expensive, and long is less expensive... and our strength is not very strong, so there is any way to cheer everyone up, just use it!

Now, you have to use a scoundrel to kill a chicken!”

Zhao Kai understands what Yue Fei is talking about?

Being an emperor is just the beginning of a journey... Because he wants to reopen the Great Song Dynasty, after he ascended the throne, there will be a series of wars!

Moreover, Zhao Kai's army is actually not strong, with too many new recruits, and the sources of veterans are mixed. If you don't raise your morale high, you may not be able to exert a destructive momentum. Once this momentum is low, the trouble will be great.

"Okay!" Zhao Kai said loudly, "Pengju said it well. Now at this time, all of us must do our best! I will give you three days, no, just two days. We must let the brothers below know the goodness of the "Twelve Medals System"!

Two days later, we will enter Taiyuan... and reopen the Great Song Dynasty!”

The people below shouted, "Long live! Long live! Long live!"
Chapter completed!
