"My grandson is mischievous. Please forgive me, Your Highness.”
"It's fine. It's good for young people to be energetic. Moreover, what he said makes sense.”
The King of Qin, Ying Zheng, nodded and said.
Although he also wanted to give Zhao Mu the position of general, he didn't have any corresponding achievements at the moment. It was easy to provoke the dissatisfaction of the soldiers.
Considering the issue of morale, the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, had no choice but to consider it carefully.
The reward could be divided into two parts. One was a title, and the other was an official position.
Qin had a 20-rank military title system. It was a system that rewarded military merits and encouraged the killing of enemies. It was a measure taken by the emerging landlord class to improve the combat effectiveness of the army. It was also one of the ways to adjust the social relations at that time.
Qin's 20-rank military merit system was divided into 20 ranks, namely: First class public scholars, two upper posts, three hairpin posts, four non-change posts, five great officers, six official great officers, seven public great officers, eight public vehicles, nine five great officers, ten left Shu Chang, eleven right Shu Chang, twelve left watch posts, thirteen middle watch posts, fourteen right watch posts, fifteen less upper posts, sixteen upper posts (made by Daliang), seventeen four chariot Shu Chang, eighteen great Shu Chang, nineteen pass inner marquis, twenty Che marquis.
As long as the soldiers of the State of Qin captured the head of the enemy's "Jiashi"(enemy officer), they would be awarded a first-class title of "Gongshi", a plot of land, a house, and a servant.
The more heads they killed, the higher the title they would receive.
The evidence was the enemy's head. As long as the enemy's head was cut off and brought back to the camp after the battle, it would be enough as evidence. Using the left ear was also effective.
If a soldier beheaded two enemy 'armorers' on the battlefield, his parents, who were prisoners, could be released immediately. His wife, who was a slave, could also be converted to a civilian.
Kill five enemy soldiers and you will have five households of servants.
After winning a battle, a minor official would be promoted by one rank, and a major official would be promoted by three ranks.
Although Zhao Mu had yet to make any contributions, based on the prestige he had gained from killing the Zhao army, killing the three people of the Zhao army, seriously injuring five generals, and saving his own life in danger, he was destined not to be given a low-level title.
"In terms of titles, how about I confer Zilong the title of Five Great Doctors?”
"It's all up to His Highness the King of Qin."
Zhao Mu, who had received the title of nobility, did not have any fluctuations in his heart. He said in a neither humble nor humble manner.
The fifth doctor was a ninth-grade noble, which was already considered a high-grade noble. Every year, he enjoyed a salary of 450 koku, which was about 14 tons of corn.
When one's title reached the rank of 'five scholars', it was equivalent to a qualitative change. One could legally raise retainers and warriors.
"As for the official position…I'll leave it to Old General Meng Ao to decide. After all, Old General is the commander of the army, so I won't interfere.”
"Your Highness, this…"
"Old General Meng Ao, you don't have to decline. I believe in your judgment.”
"Then this subject will respectfully obey.”
Ying Zheng had directly pushed the issue of granting him an 'official position' into Meng Ao's hands, which gave this old general a headache.
The name of Zhao Zilong of Changshan would soon be known to the world. Moreover, he had a close relationship with the King of Qin. If he was awarded a small official position, it would definitely attract the King of Qin's dissatisfaction.
However, Zhao Yun had yet to make any achievements in the army, and he knew nothing about his ability to lead troops. If he was just a fierce general who charged into the enemy's formation, and he was asked to lead an army out, something would definitely happen.
The contradiction between the two caused Meng Ao to feel a headache. He did not know what to do at all.
After thinking for a long time, Meng Ao finally came up with a suitable method.
"In that case, why don't we make a bet?”
"A bet?"
"That's right. The three of you here are all rising stars.”
Meng Ao pointed at Ge Nia, Wang Ben, and Meng Tian as he spoke.
It just so happened that his grandson, Meng Tian, wanted to compete with Zhao Zilong. He would take this opportunity to show him how big the world was.
Meng Tian was indeed talented in martial arts, but she was still inexperienced and had yet to reach her peak.
It was impossible for him to be like Zhao Zilong, who had single-handedly broken through the Zhao army.
"If you defeat anyone here, then you will be conferred the title of 'Five Hundred Lords' and lead the five hundred Qin soldiers.”
"If you defeat two of them, then you will be conferred the title of '200 to 500 Lords' and command 1,000 soldiers of the Qin Country.”
"If you can defeat the three of them, then you will be given the title of 'Commander', commanding the three thousand soldiers of the Qin Country. This is the highest official position I can give you at present.”
"Of course, if we can't defeat even one of them, then I can only say sorry. This old man can only confer the title of Hundred Generals to two of them and command the two hundred cavalrymen that I've brought.”
“..........”
Meng Ao's idea perfectly matched the thoughts of everyone present.
Therefore, if Zhao Zilong won, no one would object.
If Zhao Zilong was defeated, there was nothing he could do. He could only temporarily let him and the dark-faced man each be a hundred generals and take charge of the two hundred light cavalrymen he brought.
"What do you all think about this bet that this old man proposed?”
"Of course, I'll accept the rank of lieutenant.”
As the saying went, a soldier who did not want to be a general was not a good soldier.
Since he had the chance to become a lieutenant, how could Zhao Mu become a hundred generals and then painstakingly accumulate military merits to slowly climb up?
Ge Nie, Meng Tian, and Wang Jian were indeed not easy to deal with, but this was only limited to them at their peak. Right now, they were only youths in their growth period. Zhao Yun template. He had already reached the strength of the Changban slope and was almost at his peak.
The subsequent increase in acting degree would only increase the total amount of inner qi to increase the endurance.
After all, from the moment Zhao Yun appeared, her martial strength was above 90, and her initial stats were already very high.
The difference in strength between the two was very obvious.
Zhao Mu would not reject this bet.
