Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 308 The Second Reform

Qingji intends to formulate real laws and regulations in Wu State, so as to restrain the people of Li and rule the country according to law.

After discussing with Fan Li and Sun Wu, Qingji finally made up his mind.

Three days later, Qingji held a grand court meeting in Fengtian Hall, and all [-] officials and officials with a rank ratio of [-] shi or above were present to participate.

"His Majesty is here—"

Following the slick sound of the CRRC Mansion Commander, wearing the crown of Qing Ji, and led by two maids holding peacock feathers, one on the left and one on the right, they came to the Majesty's platform step by step.

At this time, Qingji was twenty-seven years old, about [-] meters tall, standing out from the crowd, tall and straight, and looked heroic.

Wearing a flat sky crown with nine prongs on his head, it is difficult for people to grasp his joy and anger as a monarch through facial expressions.

Wearing a black mianfu, with the moon on the left and the sun on the right, each is embroidered with patterns of auspicious clouds. Under the hem of the skirt, dragons and phoenixes are embroidered.

At this age, Qingji already had a three-inch long beard, which not only looked calm and majestic, but also did not affect the overall appearance too much.

Pretty?

Modern people naturally cannot appreciate this so-called "beauty", but in the eyes of the ancients, it is very beautiful.

Just like Guan Erye, who has an extremely long beard, is called "beautiful temple man", a man with a crown in ancient times, that is, an adult without a beard, looks too different!
"The ministers are waiting to see the king! The king is forever!"

The ministers immediately paid homage to the Jiji celebration ceremony on the Majesty's platform, shouting in unison.

Normally, the courtiers do not have to bow down when they see the monarch.

However, on such a solemn occasion as the Great Court Meeting, in order to show the order of the monarch and his subjects, and the superiority and inferiority of the upper and lower levels, the ministers need to kneel to the monarch.

"You don't need to be too polite, please sit down!"

"Thank you king!"

After Qingji sat upright, he waved his hand to let the officials take their seats.

"If you have something to play, you will retreat if there is nothing!"

Slippery and routine, with a high-pitched voice, said loudly.

"Your Majesty, I have something to announce!"

Fan Li, the history of Zhisu Nei, was the first to speak up.

"What's the matter, please tell me."

"Your Majesty, I saw a civil dispute at the market in Jinling a few days ago."

Fan Li eloquently said: "A person in my country of Wu bought a piece of cloth and found that the size was wrong. The cloth that should have been [-] zhang [-] was actually only [-] zhang [-] chi [-] cun when measured at the speed of Wu country!"

"So that person came to find Bu Zhuang's theory, and the shopkeeper took out his own measurement and it was indeed one zhang two."

"Why?"

"It's just because the person's speed is for Wu Du, while the store's speed is for Qi Du. Wu Du and Qi Du are different!"

After a pause, Fan Li said again: "Not only the degree, but also the quantity and balance, there is still the problem of lack of overflow and lack of balance, lack of catty and shortness of two."

"For all countries in the world, the regulations on weights and measures are all different."

"Even in my country of Wu, there are no real standard weights and measures. How many rulers and eunuchs tampered with the weights and measures that were issued by the government in the past for profit?"

Fan Li is exposing the shortcomings, exposing the shortcomings of all the ministers of the old family of Wu!
However, the kings of Wu Kingdom in all dynasties were clear about this matter.

They still turn a blind eye to it and don't ask.

Now that Fan Li brought it to the table, it really made the old family ministers headed by the Chinese doctor Hu Yong secretly hate him.

"Fan Qing's intention is to unify the weights and measures of our country of Wu?"

"Exactly!"

Qingji is singing the oboe with Fan Li.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see it, but it's inconvenient to pierce it!
Fan Lilang said: "Your Majesty, the regulations on weights and measures should be re-established and promoted uniformly throughout the country."

"Everyone from Wu, and anyone who enters Wu as a merchant, on the land of my country of Wu, their weights and measures must be regulated according to Wu's weights and measures!"

"good!"

Qingji made a decision immediately.

"This matter will be handed over to Prime Minister You's mansion. Prime Minister You!"

"Chen is here!"

Ji Ran immediately stood up.

"As you follow the old system, re-establish the new weights and measures of our country of Wu. Within half a year, I expect that no other weights and measures will be used in our country of Wu. Violators will be prosecuted and punished as the crime of theft!"

"Sir, obey the king's orders!"

Prime Minister You Ji Ran immediately agreed.

The ministers have no objection to the unification of weights and measures.

Even the ministers of the old aristocratic clans of the Wu state can't look down on these petty profits!
"Young gentlemen, apart from unifying weights and measures, there is one more thing here."

Hearing this, the officials and officials who didn't know couldn't help but feel tense.

After working under Qingji's command for so long, the officials more or less understood the temper of their king.

But Qingji will advocate for any very important things, and then go all out to do it.

This made the ministers very helpless!

Moreover, throughout Qingji's accession to the throne, Qingji's own state affairs have often harmed the interests of the ministers of the old family.

Therefore, Qing Ji's words made all the officials headed by the Chinese doctor Hu Yong feel anxious.

"Glue slippery, Xuanzhao!"

"only!"

This time Qingji did not choose to discuss with the officials, but directly issued an edict, Qian Gang is arbitrary!
"Wang Zhao: I know that the people of Wu are tired of fighting, and they are accustomed to fighting.

"The way to hit this is to block Chen and suppress them. If the crowd comes, they will reject them, and if they go, they will chase them, so as to tire out their teachers. This is their momentum!"

"However, in an army, there must be men of tigers and beasts, who can carry a tripod with lightness, and whose feet are light with soldiers and horses. If they carry flags and cut generals, there must be capable ones."

"If this is the case, choose it and leave it, love it and value it, it is called the military order. If there are workers who use five soldiers, who are strong and sick, and who are determined to swallow the enemy, they will be listed as nobles, and they can win decisively."

"Be kind to his parents and wife, persuade rewards and fear punishment. This kind of firm person can last a long time. If he can judge this, he can be doubled!"

"Therefore, if the widow wants to increase the title of military merit to the soldiers, establish a system!"

After a pause, Jiao Hua took another bamboo slip handed over by a palace lady, opened it, and read again: "Those who have military merit titles are divided into twenty grades, from low to high."

"First-level official, second-ranked, third-ranked, fourth-not-changing, fifth-ranked official, sixth-official official, seventh-ranked official, eighth-ranked official, ninth-five senior official, and tenth left-bearer."

"Eleventh right-handed elders, twelve left-handed elders, thirteenth middle-aged elders, fourteenth right-handed elders, fifteenth young masters, sixteenth great masters (Daliang-made), seventeenth four-year-old elders, eighteenth great elders , Nineteen Guanneihou, twenty Chehouhou..."

Glue's eloquent talk made the officials feel like a bolt from the blue!
Obviously, Qingji's purpose is to increase the enthusiasm of the Wu army soldiers to fight.

In the past, the generals and soldiers of the Wu army were like those of other countries. All fighters lost nothing and might be questioned.

If the monarch is happy after victory, he may be able to reward the soldiers with some cloth, corn, money, etc., or simply reward the three armies.

As for being promoted to rank, it is absolutely impossible for soldiers of civilian origin!
Their background determines their achievements.
