Yin Shang began to explain gently," The War God Wu Qi is the founder of the recruitment system. He is indeed the most important soul general for the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty. It is even said that the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty are strong because of him. This sentence is also correct.”
"However, it is an undeniable fact that there are fatal flaws in the system of the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty.”
"For example…after the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty achieve military merits, they can be rewarded with land and houses, and these assets can be completely passed on to the next generation of the meritorious person.”
"On the other hand, Great Qin's system of military merits and titles is such that only those who die on the battlefield can leave their titles and assets to their descendants. In any other situation, the titles and assets of those who contribute will be reduced for generations!”
……
Shang Yang was definitely an unprecedented model in setting up the system.
Especially when it came to the inheritance of titles.
It absorbed the shortcomings of the military contribution system of the Wei Dynasty and created the 20-rank military contribution system of the Great Qin Dynasty.
"The fertile land that the Wei Kingdom originally had for rewards was quite limited. In the end, Wuqi stipulated that all the titles and assets of those who contributed could be passed down completely. Naturally, it would lead to a situation similar to that of Shiqing and Shilu.”
Yin Shang continued slowly," As the ranks of the soldiers of the State of Wei increase, the land that the King of Wei can use to reward them will decrease. As a last resort, the King of Wei can only start to reduce the rewards for the new soldiers of the State of Wei.”
"Thus, the defeat of the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty was not only a problem of the quality of the generals, but also the undurability of the system.”
"And Shang Yang's rank 20 system of military merits and titles can be passed down from generation to generation, and some land can be reclaimed. This greatly extends the lifespan of the system.”
"With this as the foundation, a new law can be set: The Decree of Giving Favor: All the small families of officials had to report the names of their direct descendants and collateral descendants. Great Qin was going to abolish the system of direct descendants in the Confucian clan system and give the assets of the families of officials to their descendants.”
"During this process, Great Qin will collect a certain amount of taxes from the descendants of the branch families for the country's use!”
……
In history, the Proclamation of Grace was specially used for the princes.
And Yin Shang had set up a tailor-made order of grace for the family of the scholar.
Shang Yang's system of military merits and titles forced the assets of those who performed meritorious deeds to be reduced from generation to generation.
Yin Shang's order of grace granted the second and third sons of the officials the inheritance rights guaranteed by the law.
Then, should this group of concubines and second sons, who might not have gotten anything, pay some taxes to the country after inheriting a large amount of assets?
Naturally, he had to hand it over!
Moreover, the second sons and concubines even had to send money to the top. After all, without the support of the country and the law, they would be ostracized by the direct line of the family at any time!
This was equivalent to reducing and dividing the families of the officials from generation to generation. At the same time, it also increased the tax burden to fill the national treasury.
It was a perfect system!
"Headmaster! He should be a celestial!"
Fu Su muttered in amazement.
On the surface, the Token of Grace was indeed a token of grace, but in fact, it had achieved a remarkable effect that even the Shang Lord's method could not achieve through generations of inheritance in the families of scholars and officials!
It could definitely be said that the student had surpassed the master!
In the underground palace, Emperor Ying Zheng's eyes shone with a bright light again!
As an emperor of the ages, he understood all too well how important the Token of Grace created by Duke Yin was!
First, the Maoling system was implemented to move all the families of the scholars and ministers of the Central Plains around Mount Li to fill the population, economy, and tax burden of Guanzhong.
Then, he would use the Order of Grace to suppress the small families of the local officials.
He had to grab both hands!
Both hands must be hard!
Only then would Great Qin be able to completely rule over all of the scholars in the Central Plains!
In front of the bamboo house.
After Fu Su's excitement subsided, he drank several cups of Lie Yun Shao before he finally calmed down.
He thought for a moment and said,"The most important role of the Headmaster's censor is to supervise the implementation of the order."”
"That's right!"
Yin Shang nodded." According to the Qin law, even the basic law of the unfilial son being reported to the authorities by the father and severely punishing the wicked son according to the law can be carried out.”
"The order of grace is applied to the local families of the officials. As long as the corresponding sons of the concubines and the second sons report to the government, they will be able to receive a ruling according to the law.”
"Therefore, there is absolutely no problem with the execution of the Token of Grace in the future.”
……
Not only did Yin Shang consider the law, but he also thought about the subsequent implementation process and its impact.
The so-called prevention of collusion between local officials and bureaucrats meant that there had to be people sent by the central court to supervise the adjudication process of the order!
Otherwise, what if the bureaucrats took the opportunity to extort him?
Or the second sons and concubines bribed officials and invaded the line of the eldest son without any scruples.
Or the eldest son bribed officials to suppress the legitimate rights and interests of the second son class.
In these situations, there had to be an imperial censor on the side.
Of course.
If even the Imperial Censor was bribed…
There was really no other way. He could only raise the quality of the censors and improve the law according to the real-time situation.
The so-called law itself was a flawed justice.
There was no such thing as a perfect system in this world.
