Chapter 766 Zhao Wen's Changes

In Zhao Wen's plan, if conditions permit in the future, every town will set up a radio transmitter.

In this way, the number of radio transmitters will increase, and if the number is too large, it will be difficult to control.

Therefore, the area codes of later generations must be taken out, and the communication transmitted from various places shall be identified by means of area codes.

In addition to this, setting up signal base stations and relay stations in each county can reduce signal attenuation and poor quality.

In addition to setting up wireless transmitters, the county towns in each province must be connected with wired telegraphs, and then the county towns and provincial capitals must be connected to prevent wireless telegraphs from failing.

Especially those places that need to consolidate the rule must implement both wireless and wired methods.

Set up communication center cities in the central, northwest, southwest, southeast, and northeast regions, and connect these cities with the capital by cable.

At that time, even if there is any problem with the wireless, the wired can be supplemented in time.

With Zhao Wen's current power, this goal can be achieved, but it is difficult to achieve this goal in a short period of time. After all, this kind of thing requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

Especially when setting these things up, don't even think about making money.

It's also fortunate that Zhao Wen has accumulated a lot of family property over the years, otherwise he really couldn't stand Zhao Wen's toss.

"That's right, that's right. With wireless transmitters and battery dry batteries, it will be a great improvement for the country." Zhao Wen looked at the dry batteries and batteries on the table with a smile on his face.

"These are all His Majesty's blueprints. Without His Majesty's blueprints, we would not be able to manufacture these things." Song Yingxing stood beside Zhao Wen and said modestly.

Zhao Wendao: "Okay, don't be humble, your credit is your credit, and no one can take it away."

After checking the battery and wireless transmitter, Zhao Wen wandered around the research institute accompanied by Song Yingxing.

After the sun went down, Zhao Wen returned to the palace.

Not long after sitting in the imperial study, Liu Wenzhong and Qi Qingtian came to the imperial study with a thick memorial.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

The two saluted Zhao Wengong respectfully.

Zhao Wen sat on the main seat and looked at the two of them, "You two lovers, is there anything urgent at this late hour?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the things you arranged before have been completed, please take a look at your Majesty." Liu Wenzhong raised the memorial in his hand above his head and said to Zhao Wen.

Qi Qingtian also said the same words, holding the memorial in his hand high above his head.

"Your Majesty, for a long time, the Council has figured out the civil servants and titles that were awarded.

According to His Majesty's instructions, civil servants have a total of three ranks and nine ranks of titles.There are a total of third-class titles of Duke and Marquis, and each title is divided into three minor titles.Among them, the highest title is first-class duke, there are three people in total, ten people are marquis, and the lowest title is third-class uncle, there are 12 people in total.

There are a total of 25 people from the highest duke to the lowest earl, all of whom are listed in the minister's memorial.

The minister's memorial stated why these people were able to obtain such titles, what kind of contributions these people made, and what they did.

In addition to these, there are also the origins of these officials..."

Liu Wenzhong spoke to Zhao Wen in detail.

After Liu Wenzhong finished speaking, Qi Qingtian also said: "Your Majesty, according to your instructions, I also started to formulate the titles of generals.

After such a long period of formulation, the Military Academy has already formulated the titles of Four Dukes, Eight Marquises and Thirteen Earls. The candidates for these titles were written in the memorial by the minister just like Mr. Liu. "

Listening to the voices of the two, Zhao Wen flipped through the memorial in his hand.

The memorial is very thick, and the small characters on it are densely packed, so I can't finish reading it in a while.

Zhao Wen put down the memorial in his hands, and said to the two of them: "I already know, you go down first, I will take my time to read."

"Sir, please retire!"

Liu Wenzhong and Qi Qingtian bowed their hands to Zhao Wengong and retreated.

After the two withdrew, Zhao Wen continued to watch.

The first thing Zhao Wen read was the memorial sent by Liu Wenzhong.

According to Liu Wenzhong's memorial, there are three Dukes among the civil servants, namely Liu Wenzhong himself, Song Yingxing and Sun Yuanhua.

Zhao Wen has no objection to this result. It is very normal for these three people to become dukes.

Liu Wenzhong is equivalent to Zhao Wen's chief steward. Before Zhao Wen ascended the throne, he managed the big and small things in Xuanzhen.

If Zhao Wen led troops to go out, Liu Wenzhong would be like a shopkeeper, managing the affairs of Xuanzhen in every detail.

For so many years, Liu Wenzhong has almost never had an incident, and almost everything has been done perfectly.

It is very suitable and normal for Liu Wenzhong to obtain the title of duke, and no one else can say anything.

It is very normal for Song Yingxing to obtain the title of duke. After all, Song Yingxing is the most powerful scientific research force in Zhao Wen's hands, and he can almost complete anything that Zhao Wen entrusts to him.

For so many years, Song Yingxing has worked hard at Zhao Wen's place and made a lot of things, such as trains burning wood, cars, tanks, power plants, and the current radio transmitters and batteries, etc., are all directly related to Song Yingxing.

The power of these things is unmatched in this era, and there is nothing questionable about Song Yingxing's ability to obtain them.

There is nothing to say about why Sun Yuanhua won the title of duke. After all, Sun Yuanhua took refuge in Zhao Wen very early and did a lot for Zhao Wen.

Especially the construction of railways and cement roads was handled by Sun Yuanhua.

In Xuanzhen, the hardest part of work is building the railway.

As the top leader of the Ministry of Industry, Sun Yuanhua contributed a lot to the construction of the railway.

A few years ago, there was a shortage of manpower and inconvenient transportation. When the railway was built at that time, Sun Yuanhua almost lived and ate on the construction site.

Therefore, it is very normal for Sun Yuanhua to obtain the title of duke.

Among the civil servants, there are ten marquises, including Hong Chengchou and those civil servants who had joined Zhao Wen earlier and made contributions.

Hong Chengchou has a bad reputation in history, but in this era, Zhao Wen has made a lot of efforts in the matter of attacking the Japanese country, and the title of a marquis is still acceptable.

As for Lu Xiangsheng, due to various reasons, he took refuge in Zhao Wen for a relatively short period of time. Although he also had credit for him, he was only an earl.

Liu Wenzhong's memorial recorded all these things in great detail, why these people obtained such titles, what their contributions were and so on were written in great detail, and Zhao Wen didn't need to think too deeply.

After reading Liu Wenzhong's memorial, Zhao Wen began to read the memorial sent by Qi Qingtian.

Among Qi Qingtian's memorials, Liu Wu, Zhao Daniu, Song Hu and Wang Qi were awarded the duke title.

These four people were the first to follow Zhao Wen, so it was very appropriate to obtain the title of Duke.As for Li Xiaosan, he was a Marquis.

"Liu Wu, Zhao Daniu, Song Hu, Wang Qi, and others are all right to confer duke awards, but Mao Wenlong and Zheng Yiguan are just a marquis, which is a little inappropriate.

Mao Wenlong is stationed in the cold and sparsely populated Nuer Gandusi, and I promised him a duke before, so I can't lose my word now.

There is also Zheng Yiguan, Zheng Yiguan has won the Americas anyway, anyway, the title of duke is a must.

In addition to these, Mao Chengzuo should also be a marquis, if not, he should be just a small earl..."

While looking at the memorial sent by Qi Qingtian, Zhao Wen took out a piece of rice paper and wrote his thoughts on the rice paper.

Zhao Wen didn't have much objection to the contents behind Qi Qingtian's memorial, and they were all reasonable.

When the Senate and the Military Council were discussing the titles, Zhao Wen had issued an order that the titles that are awarded now are only Duke and Marquis, and Zhao Wen did not present the following viscounts and barons.

It's not that Zhao Wen is unwilling to take it out, but that these two levels of titles Zhao Wen have other functions.

In order to encourage scientific research, Zhao Wen intends to put these two levels of titles on scientific research.

In the future, as long as anyone invents something that is beneficial to the country, regardless of their origin, they can obtain these two titles.

Of course, if the invention is very important and has a great effect on the country, it is not impossible to reward the duke.

In Zhao Wen's plan, only the titles that are currently awarded are hereditary titles, and the titles that will be awarded in the future are divided into the titles that only last for one life and the titles that decrease from generation to generation.

The biggest purpose of Zhao Wen's doing this is to prevent the scene of nobles and nobles in the late Ming Dynasty.

Furthermore, Zhao Wen abolished the hereditary system of officers in the Ming Dynasty.

Although the hereditary system of officers can inherit the method of leading troops to fight, the disadvantages are also obvious, and it is easy to cause a lot of military leaders in the army.

Moreover, Zhao Wen also planned to set up the Huaxia Military University, and future military officers would be directly trained by the military university, so as to prevent the occurrence of nobles holding military power like in the Ming Dynasty.

In Zhao Wen's plan, military positions and military ranks should be separated.

An officer is an officer, and a military rank is a military rank, and the two should not be confused.

Zhao Wen put down the memorial in his hand, took out another piece of rice paper, and started writing on it.

"General Badge of Military Ranks"

Six large characters appear on the rice paper.

After about an hour or so, Zhao Wen finally finished the work.

Zhao Wen put down the pen in his hand, looked at the content on the rice paper, and let out a sigh of relief.

"Finally finished!"

In fact, this idea has been brewing in Zhao Wen's mind for a long time, which is why Zhao Wen was able to write these things out in such a fast time.

In what Zhao Wen wrote, the smallest officer in the army is the squad leader, followed by platoon leader, company commander, battalion commander, regiment commander, brigade commander, division commander, army commander, commander and other positions.

These positions are similar to the military positions of later generations.

The military ranks in the army were formulated by Zhao Wen in combination with the habits of this era and various factors.

Among them, private is the smallest rank.

Private soldiers are also divided into grades, divided into upper, middle and lower grades.

Above the privates is the rank of sergeant, which is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower.

Above the sergeant level are the lieutenant level, the school level, the general level and the handsome level.

The lieutenant rank is divided into upper, middle and lower levels, the school level is also divided into upper, middle and lower, and the rank is also divided into upper, middle and lower levels.

As for the commander level, the highest level is the Grand Marshal of the Imperial Army.

This military rank can only be held by the emperor himself. Below the Grand Marshal of the Imperial Army are the Grand Marshal, Marshal, and Quasi-Marshal. There is no distinction between upper, middle and lower ranks.

There is a one-to-one correspondence between these military ranks and officer positions, but it does not mean that there must be a one-to-one correspondence with officers.

Zhao Wen took out another piece of rice paper and started writing.

This time, Zhao Wen wrote the medals and military medals of all ranks.

After Zhao Wen finished formulating these matters, the sun had already risen.

Zhao Wen yawned, put down the pen in his hand, picked up the tea Chen Donglai made, and took a sip.

"Let Qi Qingtian and Liu Wenzhong come over!"

Zhao Wen said to Chen Donglai who was standing behind him.

Chen Donglai walked out of the Imperial Study Room with Zhao Wen's order, and headed for the Council and the Military Academy.

Not long after, the two came to the Royal Study Room.

Zhao Wen looked at the two people standing below, and asked people to give Liu Wenzhong and Qi Qingtian the things they made last night.

"Liu Aiqing, I don't have any objections to the civil servant's statement. You can announce it after you go down." After Zhao Wen finished speaking, he looked at Qi Qingtian.

"There is nothing too exaggerated about what you submitted, it's basically good. But there are still some small flaws.

I have already asked someone to hand over the content of my revisions to you. You can take a look and make corresponding changes. If there is anything you don’t understand or is not rigorous, you can come to me. "Zhao Wen said to Qi Qingtian.

Liu Wenzhong and Qi Qingtian took the things Chen Donglai sent down and saluted Zhao Wen respectfully.

"Okay, you all go back first! By the way, regarding generals, the military academy must complete it in the shortest possible time, and don't delay too long."
