    [Thanks to the book friend "Immortal Light Ming" for the reward!  ¡¿

    Looking at the generals in the tent, Cao Ang said in a deep voice: "More than four hundred years ago, the Qin Dynasty adopted a twenty-level military merit title system, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the army and finally unified the country. Now Dong Zhuo has deposed the emperor without authorization and controlled the government.  However, we loyal ministers and righteous men are frequently attacked! In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, today, as General Fenwu, I re-establish the twenty-level military merit title system in these four counties! Non-military merit will not be awarded, and the number of wives and concubines is the same as the number of military merit.  (That is to say, the number of wives and concubines you can marry depends on how many levels of military merit you have)!"

    After hearing Cao Ang¡¯s order, everyone focused their attention and listened attentively.  We are basically all soldiers, and we are living in troubled times. This is related to our vital interests and cannot be taken lightly.

    Cao Ang said loudly: "Military merits are temporarily divided into four categories. The first is beheading merit, the second is strategy merit, the third is leadership merit, and the fourth is righteousness merit. Li Su, please introduce to everyone the 20th level of military merit.  system, so that everyone can understand it and can do things this way in the future.¡±

    Li Su quickly walked aside and said loudly: "The twenty-level military merit title system, from low to high, is as follows: first-level sergeant, second-level superior officer, third-level hairpin, fourth-level unchangeable,  The fifth-level doctor, the sixth-level official doctor, the seventh-level public doctor, the eighth-level public servant, the ninth-level five-level doctor, the tenth-level left concubine chief, the eleventh-level right concubine chief, and the twelfth-level left Geng  , the 13th level middle update, the 14th level right update, the 15th level Shao Shang Zao, the 16th level Da Shang Zao, the 17th level Si Chao, the 18th level Da Shu Zhang, the 19th level  Guanneihou, the twentieth level Chehou. Next, I will briefly explain to you the obligations and powers of each level!"

    Li Dian raised his hand and said loudly: "Master, join the army. Can you take a pen and paper to record it?"

    Cao Ang said with a smile: "Later I will order someone to copy a detailed set of rules and regulations and send them to each of you; I will also order someone to preach them in the military camp. Now you just listen carefully. Li Su, you continue  speak!"

    Li Dian nodded and looked at Li Su with concentration.

    Li Su cleared his throat and said loudly: "As long as you kill or capture an enemy soldier, you can get the first-level title of 'Gongshi', a reward of one gold, and ten acres of farmland. This farmland will be distributed directly to the soldiers after they retire.  Soldiers can also be converted into cash based on the price of goods when they retire. The more enemies you kill and the greater your contribution, the higher your title. In addition, if you capture an enemy general, you will be awarded a third level title and a bounty of ten gold.  One hundred acres of land. The above titles should be evidenced by the enemy's head. If the opponent's head cannot be obtained, more than six people should help to testify. However, if perjury is given, the titles of all testifiers will be cancelled. In addition,  , and severe penalties!¡±

    At this time Le Jin raised his hand, Cao Ang immediately said: "Wen Qian, do you have any suggestions? Let's talk about it!"

    Le Jin cupped his hands at Li Su and asked loudly: "Master joining the army, many people in my cavalry camp are slaves who escaped from the Qiang and Hu, and some people have been working as domestic servants for generations. If they immediately  If you have made great contributions, do you also get a corresponding title?"

    Li Su liked the word "junior" very much. He said with a smile: "My lord and I discussed this issue a few days ago. A slave can be decapitated to three levels to regain his civilian status, and a slave to be decapitated to six levels can regain his parents' status."  The status of the wife and children as civilians; if a slave is beheaded at two levels, he can regain his status as a free citizen, and if a slave is beheaded at four levels, he can regain his status as a free citizen!"

    Le Jin smiled when he heard this and said, "Now all the slaves in my camp have hope!"

    When he was happy, Li Dian stepped on him and whispered: "Listen carefully, don't talk, I can't hear you clearly!"

    Li Su looked around and saw that no one asked any questions, so he continued: "Any soldiers who died in battle are called martyrs, and the government will provide their children with appropriate pensions based on their titles during their lifetime, so that their children can  Grow smoothly.¡±

    Hearing this, the generals all agreed, especially veterans like Xu Rong, who nodded repeatedly.

    Li Su paused for a moment, enjoying it secretly, and then said in a deep voice: "The land obtained by the martyr due to his military exploits during his lifetime will not be deprived of it. It will be inherited by his children, and his title will be reduced by one level and then inherited by his son. For example, a martyr's land will be inherited by his children.  If the person held a third-class noble title during his lifetime, his son will inherit and enjoy the second-class noble title.

    But if the child does not upgrade the title, the title will stop passing on when the child dies!

    In other words, if the grandfather performs meritorious service, the son will enjoy blessings, but if the son does not perform meritorious service, the grandson will not be able to inherit the grandfather's position.  "

    Cao Ang nodded and said in a deep voice: "In fact, it is passed on to children but not to grandchildren. It can only benefit one generation, so that future generations will not rest on the merits of the ancestors and enjoy the blessings in vain. Okay, Li Canjun, you continue to talk."

    Li Su shouted loudlyHe said: "The officers and men who join our army are all loyal and brave men and must abide by the military discipline of our army. Our generals can punish soldiers who violate military disciplines, but any cases involving the death penalty must be reported to the general's mansion. Any general  You are not allowed to make unauthorized opinions. Of course, in emergencies, exceptions are made for those who surrender to the enemy and treason. Soldiers who surrender to the enemy will not only be deprived of all their positions and property, but their wives and children will also be demoted to official slaves!"

    In this regard, everyone agrees that those who deliver the rebels should naturally be punished.  As for losing the power to kill soldiers, everyone didn't take it seriously.  If it weren't for the sake of winning the war, who would be willing to kill his subordinates for no reason? This is a life!

    Li Su clapped his hands gently, and when everyone calmed down, he continued: "After careful discussion with the lord, I have reached the following conclusion in principle, that is, officers below the level of Bu Qu, who command thousands of troops, do not have personal soldiers; Bu Qu  For every 1,000 people the scope of command increases, four more guards will be added. For example, if you are a commander commanding 500 people, there is no need to equip guards; if you command 1,000 people, then  Equip four guards; if you command five thousand people, then equip twenty guards. The Lord only has forty guards around him now, do you have any opinions?"

    Of course everyone has opinions. It¡¯s so unpretentious to have only so many guards around you!  The generals under the command of other princes were shouting around each other, but there was no one around me. How shameless!  However, seeing that Cao Ang only kept a few guards around him, everyone was embarrassed to express their opinions.

    Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Su said loudly: "Since no one objects, this article is passed. The guards' salary, money and food are all provided by the army, and their selection involves the following matter, which is the treatment of the officers.  Selection.

    Now our army commanders are basically elected by the soldiers themselves, and they are all brave and capable elites.  Chiefs are selected from outstanding corps commanders by officers from various ministries. They are brave enough, but there are still shortcomings in strategy and tactics.

    Therefore, the lord decided to conduct regular training for the corps commanders of each department. After a certain period of study, they would be assigned to serve as guards beside the generals, learn from the generals, and then be assigned according to their training results and daily performance.  Among them, those with outstanding performance may enter the elite force and are more likely to be promoted; those with average performance may be transferred to the garrison force and serve as commanders; those with poor performance may be transferred to the logistics force.  In the future, the commanders of various ministries must undergo such training to improve their strategic and tactical execution capabilities!  "

    In fact, this article is to deprive the generals of their power to appoint junior officers and strengthen Cao Ang's control over the army.

    After hearing this order, the older Xu Rong and others naturally saw through Cao Ang's intention, but they had just joined Cao's army so how dared to raise such objections; the younger Li Dian, Le Jin and others did not understand.  What Cao Ang meant was that people were still applauding.

    At this time, Xia Houyuan asked in a deep voice: "Li Canjun, if there is an officer on the battlefield who disobeys orders, can I replace him on the spot? If an officer is marching forward bravely on the battlefield, can I make an exception and promote him on the spot?"

    Li Su did not dare to answer hastily. Cao Ang said with a smile: "The two questions my uncle asked are on point. As a general, my uncle naturally has the right to appoint outstanding officers and replace those who are ineffective in combat during wartime. It's just that.  After the war, the officers appointed by my uncle must also undergo training, and those officers who have been dismissed can also appeal to the Dianjun captain. After all, our Cao army values ??fairness the most!"

    Hearing what Cao Ang said, Xia Houyuan nodded: "This measure is good, I have no objection."

    Xia Houyuan's prestige in the army was so high that he didn't even raise any objections. No one among the generals came out to oppose it, so this measure to reorganize the army was passed.

    Cao Ang was very happy. The measures passed today have, on the one hand, inspired the soldiers and made them brave enough to kill the enemy without worries; on the other, they have successfully separated the power of promoting junior officers from the hands of the generals and put them in their own hands.

    Li Su deliberately coughed a few times to attract everyone's attention, and then said to Xiahou Yuan: "Xiahou Guards, it's your turn to talk about the matter we discussed together."

    When Xia Houyuan heard this, his face turned a little red.

    The generals were very curious, and they all concentrated their attention and looked at Xia Houyuan.

    Xia Houyuan licked his lips and said in a deep voice: "Since Emperor Ling, the world has been in chaos and strife, people have been displaced, families have been separated, couples have divorced everywhere, and the world's population has been wiped out! I heard ahem that  If the yin and yang are reconciled, the family will be harmonious; if the family is harmonious, the neighborhood will be peaceful; if the neighborhood is peaceful, the people will live and work in peace and contentment; if the people live and work in peace and contentment, the country will be peaceful and peaceful. Therefore, it is extremely important for a man to marry a woman"

    Seeing that Xia Houyuan became more and more shy as he spoke, Li Su smiled and said: "We have already asked your lord for instructions, and now we have officially issued the "Order to Encourage Marriage and Childbirth" to exempt the people from the population tax and reward marriage and childbirth.

    Regardless of the past, from now on, if a man or a woman does not marry after the age of twenty-two, their parents and head of the household will be guilty!

    We advocate simplicity in weddings and encourage soldiers to do new things and do new things. If a soldier's military merit is above two levels and there is no corresponding betrothal gift, he can borrow it from the military without charging any interest.

    In addition, if a woman is pregnant, her family will be exempted from the corvee for one year.  That is, from six months before the child is born to six months after the child is born, the time can fluctuate accordingly, and the total does not exceed one year.

    If there is a new baby girl in the family, three lambs will be given as a reward; if there is a new baby boy, in addition to this reward, a jar of fine wine and a calf will be added.  Those who dare to kill and abandon infants will be beheaded in public!  If it is really difficult to raise a family, you can propose it to the county government and the local government, and the government will provide a certain interest-free subsidy, and the people will only have to pay off the principal within ten years.  "

    As soon as this order came out, many people couldn't help laughing.

    Cao Ang coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "Don't laugh, everyone. This order is the focus of our work in the past month. Every army, every soldier, every village, and every citizen must be familiar with this order."  Order. The degree of implementation of this order is related to the stability of our army and the stability and prosperity of Hanoi. You must not be careless. After one month, we will conduct random checks. If 30% of the people in your county and army do not know about this  , no matter what position you hold, you will be suspended immediately for inspection! Do you understand?"

    Only then did the generals realize the importance of this matter, and they quickly raised their hands and said: "The last general takes orders!"
