Chapter 84 The First Emperor: Who is your mother?
"Congratulations to the host, you have received the extra reward: Ghost Bei Heng Lian!"

The system prompt tone has gone off!

Yin Lie immediately felt obvious heat on his back, and his whole aura became very thick.

immediately.

The various military princes of the Junwu Xungui faction also looked at Yin Lie a few more times as if they were feeling something.

"What's going on? Why does it feel like Qin Lie suddenly...is different!"

"It seems that the martial arts realm has been broken through!"

"It's not right to get a breakthrough in martial arts during a public debate, isn't it?"

……

All the military princes were a little dumbfounded!

Each of them was tempered by blood and fire on the battlefield!

But Yin Lie was promoted in martial arts during the public debate at Langya Kaihai.

This seriously exceeded the cognition of all the military princes!

Guowei Tu Ju also said in puzzlement: "The world is so vast and full of wonders... I have gained a lot of knowledge today."

Chehou Mengwu: "..."

Veteran General Hegong: "..."

The Junwu Xungui Faction definitely doesn't want Yin Lie to be...too tyrannical in terms of martial arts strength.

Especially Guo Wei Tu Ju, he later wanted to use some extraordinary means to attack Yin Lie.

If Yin Lie’s hard power is too strong!

It will disrupt Guowei Tuju's plan...

side.

Wuchenghou Wang Jian said thoughtfully: "It seems that this Qin Yucheng is not only amazing in literary talent, but also has some secrets hidden in martial arts!"

Tongwuhou Wang Bi: "..."

……

Upper position.

Ying Zheng is paying attention to some of the opinions of the young masters.

For example, what is the method of beheading for five generations, and how the Duke Fanping's salary reduction should be specifically fixed.

Yin Lie just gave a general direction, but he didn't go into too much detail.

The [Royal Family Examination System] is based on the [Fan Ping System].

and so.

Duke Fanping's salary details had to be re-finalized.

then.

Ying Zheng opened his mouth to express his inquiry.

Right Prime Minister Wang Wan turned around and threw the problem to Yin Lie...

Wang Wan compared the annual salary of Duke Fanping to the most important ministers of the Three Gongs and Nine Qings, in order to enhance the nominal status of Duke Fanping!
If the annual salary of Duke Fanping is lowered too low...

Dilemma!

The annual salary is too high, and the future imperial finances will not be able to bear it.

If the annual salary is low, it is likely that the Duke of Fanping will become a joke and appear to be too low-priced.

It seems that the only solution is...

Reduce the annual salaries of all officials in the empire!

Now that everyone has lowered it!

First of all, the imperial financial problem was solved naturally.

Secondly, the Duke of Fanping will not become useless because of his low salary.

in the field.

"..."

Yin Lie finally came back to his senses slowly.

He was just thinking about the use of the secret book of Onmyoji - Qiulan born on the ground!
As the name suggests!

This secret method is very suitable for studying two-crop rice and wheat planting technology!
But Yin Lie doesn't have time to start very specific things. What he wants to do is to formulate a high-level national policy framework for Da Qin!
Just like this time's [Royal Examination System], as well as the detailed rules of the four major subjects, etc.

Yin Lie must control the overall national policy at all times.

So who is the best person in charge of research on two-crop rice and wheat planting technology?

The answer is about to come out!

The eldest daughter of the Three Dukes, Tu Jinxuan is an extremely talented practitioner of the yin-yang and five-element wood systems.

Yin Lie didn't expect that either...

In the end, he had to go out and get the woman himself.

……

Back to this moment.

The details of Yin Lie's execution in the face of the fifth generation.

He said without hesitation: "Reporting to your majesty, the so-called emperor's wealth, the specific meaning of killing for five generations is very simple."

"To put it bluntly, it is [inheritance by reduction of title]. The eldest son of Duke Fanping has the natural and legal right of inheritance and can directly become a marquis."

"The concubines of Duke Fanping need to be screened through the [examination system], that is, they can become marquises after reaching a certain level. Otherwise, they will be reduced to earls, viscounts, and barons based on their examination results!"

"And under the baron, there are two more honorary royal costumes: black bun and black belt."

"That is: they only show their identity as the Ying family in their clothes, and they don't get any other salary, privileges, or food!"

"But they can still continue to participate in the [Entertainment Examination]. If they work hard in the future, they will have the opportunity to regain the title they deserve!"

……

Yin Lie's idea is actually very simple!
It is to pilot and promote the imperial examination system on a small scale among the Ying family!

Except for the eldest son of the major feudal Dukes who have natural inheritance rights.

All other bastards must compulsorily participate in the [Entertainment Examination], otherwise you will not be able to inherit even the most basic title, let alone gain experience in being separated into vassals.

And the black bun and black belt...

The reference is to the Manchu and Qing Dynasty yellow belts, red belts, etc.

Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty was a dynasty that is difficult to describe, its clan system was indeed well formulated.

After all, there were so many previous dynasties that set the example for the Manchu and Qing Dynasties...

If the Aixinjueluo family couldn't even copy their homework, then it would be impossible for them to take over the Central Plains.

In summary.

Yin Lie used Da Qin Shanghei as the basis to establish two types of clothing, black bun and black belt, as a manifestation of the Ying family's royal status under the fifth-class title.

"Same."

Yin Lie paused and continued: "Marquis, earls, viscounts, and barons are also the same in terms of inheritance."

"The eldest son born from the first wife will always have the most reasonable right to inherit by demotion!"

"And the concubines first need to face the upper limit of the title of their fathers. That is, the concubine of a marquis can only have the initial title of an earl, no matter how good his test scores are!"

"But the bastard earl with the highest test scores will have the right to choose the areas to be released!"

"That is: a bastard earl who has excellent grades in agricultural subjects can choose the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River or the Yangtze River for field training. As long as he makes political achievements, he will hopefully become a marquis!"

"However, the position of Duke of Fanping can only be held by the bloodline sons of previous emperors... Marquis is the highest level of [promotion due to political performance]!"

……

Yin Lie quite approves of the Confucian eldest son inheritance system.

Because primogeniture can effectively consolidate the legitimacy between husband and wife.

If any child born from a concubine can overturn the inheritance rights of the eldest son...

Isn't that messed up?

The eldest son is reasonable, reasonable and legal!
A legal wife must have high social recognition!

The concubine should correct her position and stop making mistakes!
in this way!

When a matchmaker is getting married, it only makes sense to have three letters and six appointments, eight sedans and ten miles of red makeup!
otherwise……

The customs and etiquette of Confucian and Yin-Yang schools will also become useless!

This is a very dangerous thing!

"at last."

Yin Lie organized his language and added: "I also have some detailed rules specifically for the eldest son!"

"For example, after the eldest son of Duke Fanping became a marquis, his eldest son became an earl, viscount, and baron..."

"And so on, until the emperor reaches the throne, he will be killed in five lifetimes!"

"That is to say, after the baron, everyone is treated equally. Even the eldest son can only have a black bun or even a black belt!"...

Yin Lie sets the rules very strictly!
Reduced to the fifth rank!

Killed in five lifetimes!

The superimposition of the two systems is equivalent to closing all the loopholes!
If a descendant of the Ying family wants to be promoted to a noble title, there is only one way... [Take the exam]!
Moreover, there is also an upper limit on the title of the father's generation in [Kao Feng].

As for [Political Achievement Promotion], the highest level can only be promoted to Marquis.

The number of Phan Ping Dukes needs to be strictly controlled...

Because the more dukes... it means that the number of earls, marquises, viscounts, and barons will stack up in geometric multiples!

Isn't it possible to control this more strictly?
So far!

The second public discussion on the opening of the Langya Sea has come to an end!
Yin Lie did not immediately mention Duke Fanping's salary reduction...

Because he knows that one move can affect the whole body.

The salary reduction of the empire's [-] officials is closely related to the salary reduction of the Duke of Fanping.

Yin Lie did not want to have the same public discussion on salary reduction and debated it twice in a row.

too tired.

He likes to solve problems once and for all!
opposite.

"Qin Yucheng, great talk!"

Right Prime Minister Wang Wan could only bow his hand and bow!
He was convinced that he had lost today.

According to Yin Lie's five levels of demotion, he will be killed in the fifth life...

The number and annual salary of the Ying royal family will be greatly reduced, and no matter how much time passes in the future, as long as the system remains unchanged, the number and annual salary of the royal family will remain within a more reasonable range.

After all, there are upper limits for promotion through examination and promotion through political performance!
Later generations of the Ying family must continue to involute themselves in order to carve out a bloody path from the [Kaofeng Avenue]!
"You are so impressed."

Yin Lie returned the gift with his hands raised.

This should be regarded as the most peaceful ending in Yin Lie's public debate so far.

Don't see you!
Zhou Qingchen estimates that the grass on the grave is about to sprout now!
Chun Yuyue's body should have been buried in his hometown of Shu!
Kong Bai, the contemporary head of the Kong clan in Qufu... was in a completely devastated state of mind...

Guowei Tu Ju was also scolded by Yin Lie, and was pressured twice by the emperor in a row.

Look at Wang Wan, the Right Prime Minister again...

If you lose, you lose.

Take the initiative to bow your head and salute.

On the contrary, it fully shows the extent of his belly that can bend and stretch.

Yin Lie must not be able to embarrass Wang Wan anymore...

He said: "Without the [Fan Ping System] of the right prime minister, my [Royal Family Examination System] would not be able to be implemented at all, including my proposal of the Emperor's Zeal and the Five Generations, which are also based on the [Fan Ping System] Above. Therefore... in this second Langya public debate, the Right Prime Minister and I should be considered a draw!"

Give me a thumbs up!
I'll pay you back!
This is Yin Lie's code of conduct!

Also.

Yin Lie had indeed ignored the [Fan Ping System] before.

In addition to his first choice of implementing the county system separately, his second consideration was the county system (prefectures and counties and enfeoffment in parallel)...

After all, the result of the Ming Dynasty's choice to seal the vassal state was not good at all.

But now that the [Fan Ping System] has been improved by Yin Lie, he feels... it is definitely far better than the enfeoffment system...

There you go!
The prefecture and county system superimposed on the vassal system will be the underlying institutional framework of the Qin Dynasty in the future!

This was already the best choice in the pre-Qin era...

Upper position.

Ying Zheng was very satisfied after seeing this.

When there is public discussion, fight when it’s time to fight!
After the debate is over, colleagues can still remain rational and take a step back from each other.

To avoid intensification of conflicts and instability of the political agenda.

Especially with Yin Lie's wild and unruly character, Ying Zheng actually proposed a draw when he saw him...

Ying Zheng was very surprised in his heart!
of course!

If we get to the bottom of it.

Ying Zheng believes that Yin Lie is still better in the second public debate on Langya Kaihai!
the reason is simple!
Although Yin Lie's [Royal Examination System] is based on the [Fan Ping System].

But the [Fan Ping System] originally proposed by Right Prime Minister Wang Wan had very fatal flaws!
This flaw was made up by Yin Lie...

There you go!
Sit down!

"His Majesty."

Yin Lie cupped his hands and said: "The auspicious time has come for Langya to return to the sea. The third event of reducing the salary of imperial officials should be held tomorrow under the Langya platform."

Only the emperor can climb Langyatai!
But it’s always okay to hold a public discussion under the Langya stage!

the most important is……

Yin Lie still needs to make more preparations and preparations in terms of salary reduction!
He knew that the talents and abilities of Zuo Xiang Li Si were by no means inferior to those of Tu Ju and Wang Wan, so he must treat them with caution.

"allow!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand and agreed to all Yin Lie's requests.

at the same time!

Ying Zheng thought for a while and said: "Qin Qing has repeatedly proposed excellent national policies, and now he is granted an unusual title of nine levels: fifth doctor!"

"Grant land, reward houses, grant titles..."

"Five hundred households in the city!"

……

As soon as the emperor said this!
The whole place was in an uproar instantly!

The ninth level in the military merit title system: the fifth doctor is indeed not very high...

But the fifth doctor is an official!

It stands to reason that with Yin Lie's background and lack of military merit, it is impossible for him to be awarded the rank of Fifth Doctor!

But Ying Zheng still gave a special reward!

at the same time!

Yin Lie, a fifth-level official... actually still has food...

Five hundred households is actually a lot!

immediately!

The Imperial Lieutenant Tu Ju stood up and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty! Those who have no military merit are not allowed to be granted a title...especially an official title. If your Majesty really wants to encourage Qin Yucheng, I think it is more appropriate to grant him a third-level title: a hairpin. !”

In Lord Shang's twenty-level military merit title system, civilian titles and official titles are two completely different concepts!

soon.

The veteran general Hegong and several military princes all stood up.

"Your Majesty, the military merit and title system is the foundation of our Great Qin! We must not shake it!"

"Your Majesty, Lord Shang's method is how we, the Qin Dynasty, make our country rich and powerful. The military title system will never allow for special cases to be granted!"

"Your Majesty...the Northern Expedition is imminent, and the morale of the army will be in turmoil. I hope that your Majesty will give Qin Yucheng the civilian lord to encourage him..."

……

The Junwu Xungui faction is now like an iron rooster with fried hair!

It’s okay if their bottom line is breached again and again!
Military title system...

It is really their lifeblood!
They have no choice but to retreat!
Upper position.

"My decision has been made, you gentlemen, there is no need to say anything more!"

Ying Zheng suddenly showed the strength of an emperor!
If he wants to go his own way, the officials and ministers below will not be able to stop him.

But Yingzheng usually needs to take into account the overall situation...

Only today, Yin Lie was given the special title, and he no longer wanted to look forward or backward.

Because just now, the messenger eagle landed on the bow of the ship, and Ying Zheng received a piece of news that he cared about very much.

that's it.

In the eyes of the princes of the empire.

Ying Zheng and Yin Lie quickly entered the cabin's roof.

Reflected by the endless sea water.

Ying Zheng turned his head and looked at Yin Lie's face carefully several times...

half an hour.

Ying Zheng asked: "Qin Qing, I heard that you were born in Handan County, Zhao State... Who is your mother?"

Yin Lie: "..."
