"My lord, the plan of the left disciple is very inappropriate."

"Be cautious, my lord!"

"Your Majesty, think twice."

Xiong Huai saw that the ministers changed their faces after Qu Yuan said that they would be rewarded with the title, and many opened their mouths to dissuade them.

In this regard, Xiong Huai was not surprised, he knew what the ministers were worried about, it was nothing more than that he was worried that Qu Yuan would take the opportunity to set off a wave of comprehensive changes in the country.

Similarly, Xiong Huai also knew that now was not the right time to change the law, and the external enemy was in front, so there could be no more internal strife.

Thinking about it, after Xiong Huai raised his hand to stop the ministers, he looked at Qu Yuan and said: "Xianqing's method of rewarding with titles is indeed very attractive, but at this time, using titles to attract the people in the country, the widows are not only worried that the people will not believe, but also worry that the soldiers on the front line will be dissatisfied with the widows because they have no titles and rewards because of the previous desperate killing. ”

When the ministers heard that the king of Chu did not listen to Qu Yuan's agitation and boldly carried out the law change, they couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

On the other side, when Qu Yuan heard the words of the King of Chu, he did not retreat directly, but further explained: "The king, the minister also knows that using the title to attract the people at this time is a matter of half the effort, and now the situation is critical, and we can't take our time to gain the support of all the people."

Therefore, the minister meant that the merchants of the country were allowed to donate money and grain, and anyone who donated 1,000 stone of grain could give it to the lord of the same country. And the status of the same country doctor is greater than that of the same country doctor, and he can enjoy most of the power of the country doctor, the size of the house, the number of slaves, the travel regulations, the specifications of the mausoleum, and even the preparation of their books and deliberations.

But at the same time, in order to distinguish it from the normal title of the great doctor of the same country obtained for military merits, we can also make restrictions on the same national doctor, such as the title cannot be hereditary, there is no corresponding fiefdom, etc. ”

Xiong Huai waited for Qu Yuan to finish speaking, pretended to think for a while, and then asked the ministers: "I don't know what you think." ”

When the ministers heard the King of Chu's inquiry, they did not answer immediately, but fell into a quick thought.

Qu Yuan said that the national doctor, this is the lowest title in the Chu State (not counting the Shijue that has been implemented in Jiangdong), the national doctor is the lowest title in the Chu State, and the rights and interests are very few, basically they can only be mixed in the township, and there is no part to speak in the county.

After all, the power of the county Yin of Chu is very heavy, even if it is the county Yin of the smallest county, at least he must have the title of seven doctors or five doctors to take office, among which the big counties such as Shou County Duke are already equivalent to important ministers in the court.

Therefore, it is not a big deal to just reward a great doctor.

But the key to this is to open the mouth of buying a lord with grain, which is a great damage to the military merit.

Also, buying a national doctor's title with a thousand stones of grain, for Haoqiang, a top businessman in the country, they can't look down on a national doctor at all. At the same time, for the state of Chu, a thousand stones of grain, they also look down on the princes of the court.

After communicating the key points, the ministers whispered to each other for a while, and then, the senior doctor Jing Shao got up and said: "King, what Zuo said is that you only need to donate 1,000 stone of grain to be given a fellow country.

The minister calculated carefully, even if there are 100 people in the country who donate, this is only a mere 100,000 stone of grain, and 200 people are only 200,000 stone of grain, which is still just a drop in the bucket for the war of our Chu State.

Moreover, the most important thing is that the most urgent problem in my Chu State now is not the lack of food, but the lack of enough troops to resist the countries.

Therefore, is the plan of the left disciple to give the lord the wrong direction?

Of course, if the left disciple has a follow-up plan, please tell all the left disciples, and the ministers can discuss them together to see if the left disciple's plan is feasible. ”

Hearing this, Xiong Huai immediately looked at Qu Yuan and asked, "Xianqing, have you finished your plan?" ”

"King Mingjian, the minister's plan is indeed not finished." Qu Yuan replied, then looked at the ministers and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, a thousand stones of grain is too little, and there is no such a small family in the future. So, the plan under is to open all the Grand Doctors. ”

"All the Lords..."

The ministers were suddenly startled when they heard this, and then their hearts suddenly relaxed.

Fortunately, this arrogant Qu Yuan did not have a frenzied open lord, or even a prince of princes.

At this time, Qu Yuan said eloquently: "In the next plan, only 1,000 stone can be obtained by the same country, and at the same time, if someone in the country is willing to donate 2,000 stone of grain, you can get the same Lie's lord, and the same as the above, the seventh and fifth masters need to donate 5,000 stone, 10,000 stone, and 20,000 stone of grain respectively.

At the same time, these comparable titles, like the national doctors, need to make the most crucial restriction, that is, the title cannot be inherited, and the king will not give them fiefdoms. ”

Saying that, Qu Yuan smiled, looked at the ministers and continued: "However, in return, they will enjoy all the rights attached to the title, even including the right of the seven doctors and the five doctors to recommend the virtuous people to come to Yingdu to participate in the assessment as officials. ”

Speaking of this, Qu Yuan saw that many people in the palace frowned, and knew that they were very dissatisfied with opening their official positions to the powerful and wealthy businessmen in the country, and further breaking the situation of monopolizing the official positions of the state by the powerful.

However, at this time, they did not immediately speak up against it, knowing that this had not touched their bottom line, or that compared with letting their clansmen's children go to the front line to die, it was still bearable to give some positions to the big businessmen in the country.

After all, these people have no right to inherit their titles, and they can only recommend a few people, and they can't be guaranteed to pass the assessment. Even if they pass the assessment, aren't the people who are not present who arrange where they will serve?

Qu Yuan paused, and seeing that none of the ministers objected, he continued: "Giving them the same lord is only the beginning of the plan, and at the same time, in order to gather enough troops for the front line, I also plan to allow them to recruit the army with the corresponding title to the front line.

As long as they can make a meritorious contribution equal to the merit required for the corresponding title, they can remove the same character in front of the title and become the real nobles of our Chu State, the title can be inherited, and the king can also give them the corresponding food or fief. ”

Speaking of this, Qu Yuan's voice became higher and louder: "King, colleagues, this is the way to obtain enough army food for the country to tide over this crisis without spending the slightest effort of the country.

Moreover, in order to obtain enough troops and food in the shortest possible time, and in order to avoid the proliferation of titles and the opportunity to give other people and even spies from other countries, the minister thought that the time limit for this donation should be set for six months.

From the date of the king's edict, six months later, the people in the country wanted to donate and receive the knighthood, but they could no longer wait, and they did not wait for the expiration date. ”
