New Story of Lv Bu

"Brother Changwen, I would like to hear it!" Yan Kuan purged his clothes and sat down tightly. This is a sign of solemnity and respectful listening. Chen Qun saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, and couldn't help being greatly excited. He has been in Luoyang for several years and has been accustomed to the ups and downs, from the general He Jin to the Grand Sima Lubu. Since being appreciated by Yan Dalang, his official career has really developed. Not only that, but the host and guest get along extremely harmoniously. Thinking of this, he decided to show off his strengths and talk freely.

"Da Lang, in the past few months, the repetition of scriptures wars, in my opinion, the official system of this dynasty has reached the point where it must be changed." Chen Qun waved his right hand and first expressed his point of view. Continue talking. "There are three reasons: First, the official system of this dynasty is wide at both ends, narrow in the middle, and between two thousand shi and one thousand shi. There is basically no official position. So that there is no way to get promoted. Second, the family has controlled the investigation. The path of the lower-level gentry has been cut off, and the lower-level gentry are indignant.

"Thirdly, in addition to inspections, examinations and doorsteps are required to obtain the support of aristocratic families. This world, after all, is the world of aristocratic families. In any case, we still have to compromise with them. Look at the posture in front of you. Soon after, Da Sima was going to be crowned the king as usual. It happened that the rain fell everywhere, which made the whole family happy. As for the future, it is his own test."

Having said that, Chen Qun took a deep look at Yan Kuan. Yan Kuan was extremely clever, and he understood what Chen Qun meant in a flash. Your direct brother-in-law must make every effort to make further progress. After becoming king, he will probably become emperor. If you want to be emperor, you have to receive the hearts of the world's families. First use the high-ranking officials to win over them, and then use the law to clean them up.

"I know what Brother Changwen means. Please also tell Brother Changwen freely so that I can understand everything in my chest, and then hold Brother Changwen's folder to meet Mrs. Zhao Yi and Da Sima." Yan Kuanwei With a smile, he simply said everything about the future action plan. "That's great! Chen Qun dare not try his best? Let's start with the first one." Chen Qun thanked him hand-in-hand.

"For example, in this dynasty, there are very few soldiers with more than 100,000 people. Therefore, under the generals, there are generals of miscellaneous numbers. Under the generals of miscellaneous numbers, there are school lieutenants, Sima, military princes, and military chiefs. Come, the generals will have one hundred thousand generals, the miscellaneous generals will have ten thousand and twenty thousand, the school lieutenants will have no more than two thousand, and the military will have hundreds of soldiers. So it seems that a school lieutenant will have no more than two thousand soldiers, which is still very appropriate."

"However, since the Great Sima Bingzheng, there have been frequent wars, with hundreds of thousands of troops dispatched every time. A general with a miscellaneous number, the number of soldiers under his command is three to four thousand. According to the military system of this dynasty, under the general with a miscellaneous number, It is the school lieutenant. A school lieutenant has five or six thousand soldiers. Approximately, under the school lieutenant, there are more than a thousand generals and three to five hundred generals. This is the low-level and high-level allocation."

Yan Kuan really heard what Chen Qun said. Since he became the prefect of Nanyang, he has spent a lot of thoughts on military affairs. He has heard the discussion like Chen Qun's this many times. According to the military system of this dynasty, there are no more than a thousand generals for school lieutenants, 500 generals for military officers, and 100 generals for military officers. However, the actual situation is quite different. The low-ranking and high-ranking allocation is already a certainty. As a result, the officers began to slander. Lao Tzu didn't earn the salary, so why let Lao Tzu do more work? Regardless of whether they are really making a fuss, what they are asking for is only in the name of a general or a general. At least, they are still a general.

"Brother Changwen, do you mean that, under the generals and captains, add some official positions such as partial generals and help generals?" Yan Kuan asked with a puzzled face. "Even if it's not in the middle, it's not far!" Chen Qun laughed with his palm. "In my opinion, this new official system solves the gap between two thousand stones and one thousand stones. Make it wide at both ends and narrow in the middle to wide in the middle and narrow at both ends!"

"In my opinion, this official system should be changed from Shishuer to the finished product level. From the first to the ninth grade, each grade is divided into the positive and the second grade. This is the eighteenth grade. If you want to be more refined, start from the third grade. At the beginning, the two ranks are divided into upper and lower ranks. This is the 9th rank and 30th rank. Outside the 9th rank, there are officials who are exiled. With this kind of official system, the middle rank is elongated, and it can be gradually promoted. From the seventh-rank magistrate to the second-rank prime minister, he has to be promoted many times during the period. After passing through the cadres, he can worship the prime minister on the day of the nine-turn pill."

"Roughly speaking, the first rank is the honorable official, and the veterans of the country are placed, such as the third division and the third official. The second rank is the true prime minister. The third rank enters the Jiuqing, and the third rank is the prefect. The fourth rank is the second rank of the Jiuqing. The sixth rank houses the officials of the central capital and the prefecture. The seventh rank is the county magistrate. The eighth rank, the ninth rank, and the exiled officials are all officials below one thousand stone. In this way, the official system is complete and sufficient. !"

"The benefits of this are obvious. The investigations in this dynasty, a civilian, without official experience, can stand up to a thousand stones overnight. If the investigations win people, then nothing else. If it is unpopular, wouldn't it be suffering? People in one place? After the new official system is changed, they must first take examinations and scrutiny before they can be awarded officials, and then they can be transferred according to the capital. Ten years later, they are no doubt the officials!"

"As for those talents who are not born in the world, they can pass the emperor's direct edict to go directly to the imperial court, Chaowei Tian Shelang, and Mudeng Tianzitang. In addition, the supervision system can still exist. I will elaborate on this later." Chen Qunzai There, talking freely, his face gleamed with passion. After a few years of silence, he was finally used and able to display his talents. In his heart, he was naturally excited and inexplicable.

"Hey! This is a good solution!" Yan Kuan let out a long breath, but his heart was extremely agitated. He finally understood what Chen Qun said. The official system has been changed from Shishuer to the finished product level, and the salary has not changed, so naturally there will be no major problems. But with such a change, many classes have been added for no reason, enough for the old officialdom to climb up slowly.

In this way, the huge hole between two thousand stones and one thousand stones has become a full-sixteen ranks from the third grade to the seventh grade! A scholar, from the beginning of the official filial piety, six hundred stone officials, roughly from the eighth rank, cautious officials for twenty years, but can only climb to the third rank Jiuqing. The huge gap between twenty classes was enough to kill people.

However, what makes Yan Kuan pleasantly surprised is yet to come. Chen Qun threw another new term, that is the nine-rank Zhongzheng system.

"The nine-rank Zhongzheng system, Zhongzheng, is the official title of the appraisal talent. There are big and small in the state, and the small and medium in the county. They all have tenure. The big and small Zhongzheng is either selected by the state or county, or It was appointed by the emperor to preside over the investigation of one state and one county. The scholars of this dynasty like to judge the people of Zang or not, so choose the people of high morals as the Zhongzheng, let them judge! Da Lang, imagine, if it is Xu Shao and Xu Zi will be the Dazhong Zheng of Yuzhou. What an unprecedented grand occasion should it be?"

Xu Shao, Zijiang, is the most prestigious character critic in this dynasty. The famous Runan "Yuedan Critic" was made by him and his brother Xu Jing. "If Mr. Kang Cheng is the prime minister of the world, I think Xu Zijiang's face must be ugly!" Yan Kuan laughed with his palms. "Also!" Chen Qun also smiled. Mr. Kang Cheng, Gao Mi, and Hou Zhengxuan are the master leaders of the Confucian School of the world, and Xu Shao is just a critic who is good at criticizing people. If Xu Zi will meet Zheng Kangcheng, what an interesting scene would be!

The two of them laughed and continued to talk about the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System. "The implementation of the nine-rank Zhongzheng system is divided into three steps. One is the establishment of Zhongzheng officials. The second is the character of the rank. The rank is roughly judged based on family history, virtue, and ability, and it is divided into nine altogether. Etc.: Upper upper, upper middle, upper and lower, middle upper, middle middle, middle lower, lower upper, lower middle, lower lower. Small middle and upper middle and lower middle and lower middle. After reviewing in turn, they will be handed over to officials as the basis for awarding officials. If someone is dissatisfied with the ordered product, he can submit it to the court for judgment.

Chen Qun finally finished speaking. He raised his head and looked at Yan Kuan with piercing eyes. "Brother Changwen, what you said is very kind. This is already a fairly complete system for selecting and appointing officials. I have a few more thoughts, if you can add it. First, this final review, The imperial court had better choose three highly respected Confucian masters as the final judge. For example, Gaomi Hou Zhengxuan Zheng Kangcheng, Wanhu Hou Cai Yong, Cai Boxie, Shizhong Lu Zhi Lu Zigan and others. In this way, the world's scholars will feel at ease. ."

"Secondly, your idea is to incorporate the folk'xiangyi' and'qingyi' into the political system of the imperial court. This idea is excellent. However, you must limit the power of Zhongzheng. The character is defined as the nine grades from the top to the bottom. The Zhongzheng has the right to advance and retreat, or five to four, six to five, or five to retire, or six to retire to seven, but its power is nothing more! If there is collusion between the top and bottom, the selling of officials, or the person who is the product has a problem, it will all be eaten away!"

"Also!" Chen Qun nodded heavily. In his view, the strict and lenient approach is naturally an extremely appropriate consideration. However, since the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng system is to be used in exchange for the support of the noble family, it is inevitable to open one eye and close one eye. Even if Da Sima couldn't see this, Madam Zhao Yi could see it. As for the rest, it's up to the thief.

"I'm going to write an essay, add Da Lang's opinion, and then Da Lang will hand it over to Mrs. Zhao Yi." Chen Qun said with a smile. "No! No!" Yan Kuan shook his head like a rattle. "I, Dalang Yan, have never taken any merit. Brother Changwen, you are so good to write your notes. After returning to Beijing, I will personally take you to see Mrs. Zhao Yi! Maybe, I have to see Da Sima!"

"Thanks Yan Shijun!" Chen Qun leaned over and gave a big gift, and tears were already in his eyes.
