Will Yan Bi be short of money? Although he did not have a formal official position or rank, and he was not one of the nobles, he was a retainer of Lu Zhe, the only one among the many people who followed and rose from Yiling. According to Lu Zhe's long-standing policy of doing things, the concept that if you eat meat yourself, you will definitely give people soup, and Yan Bi will never be treated badly.

In fact, the Han State did not establish a system of knighthood without a major attack, which did make Lu Zhe seem stingy, but that was one of their national policies, and this national policy was also determined through discussion, and it was not finalized by Lu Zhe with a hammer. To put it simply, it is a law that has been unanimously approved by many heroes.

It is difficult to say whether many heroes have recognized such a national policy from the bottom of their hearts, but such a national policy has indeed been implemented. So far, it is some military generals who have expanded their territory and a large area, some military generals who have made special contributions in important wars, and some civil servants who have made important contributions to internal affairs, and these people have become nobles.

The information that Gao Tong heard was not wrong, and there were indeed only fourteen people who could be regarded as nobles in the Han Kingdom, and two of the fifth-class barons were either non-military or civilian, and they were craftsmen who discovered iron-smelting technology.

In the Han Kingdom, the aristocracy was really an aristocracy, a depositor who could get the country's tax dividends, and also had privileges in some things.

To put it bluntly, the national dividend is about how much tax revenue is paid each year, what kind of share of it is attributed to the state treasury, after a set of complex calculations, such as the funds invested in national construction, the funds that need to be allocated, and then how much percentage can be distributed to the hands of the nobility.

Of course, Lu Zhe is clearly buying the nobles and making the interests of the nobles consistent with the state, after all, the better the country develops, the more benefits the nobles can get. At the same time, on the premise that the interests of the country are their own interests, the aristocracy will spontaneously protect the country.

In addition to the pursuit of interests, the group of people who are waiting for life and death must also have the need for privileges in terms of social status, and Lu Zhe can't regard those guys who follow him from birth to death as the "gods" of the "three nos". So even if they don't explicitly give privileges beyond ordinary people, won't those guys secretly engage in privileges? Therefore, it simply writes into the law what status, status, and privileges are, which has become a disguised constraint. To put it more darkly, Lu Zhe did this, but it was a constraint on the privileges of the nobles, or a legal constraint.

The increase of nobility in the Han Kingdom was an inevitable trend, and according to the rules set by Lu Zhe, the more nobles in the Han State was, in some ways, the better, not the less, the better.

The aristocracy is the elite of the country, and according to that set of rules, they will be the group that is the most determined to protect the country, but Lu Zhe knows one thing. The harder it is to get it, the more desirable it is.

Limiting the set of requirements to enter the privileged class in the open, which are difficult but can be achieved with hard work, will drive a group of ambitious people to play the game according to the rules, rather than choosing to take risks or something.

How long was the Han Kingdom founded? It's only been nearly four years, and almost every year there are several new nobles, which is an encouragement for many people, and it is also a direction that people have to move forward from the mainstream. From here, you can see how dark Lu Zhe is, he is simply learning from the "Celestial Empire", that is, no one should think about living too comfortably......

In fact, Lu Zhe has been thinking about a question recently. Many of the characters who followed the rise from Yiling fell behind on the "road ahead", and some of them were obviously able to keep up with the "pace of progress", but they chose to stop or even go to the "fork in the road", how should he treat those people.

The co-lieutenant is an obvious "representative". As one of the earliest legion commanders, he had fallen into self-isolation since the Battle of Huijang-gun.

Lu Zhe knew very well that Gongwei was trapped by his father, and he kept vaguely or explicitly saying that he didn't mind, but Gongwei couldn't get around the scheming hurdle in his heart. Until now, he has left the military system, if it weren't for Lu Zhe's affection for giving him a position in Nanling Ling, the lieutenant is estimated to have the title of a second-class viscount and then gradually fade out of the court of the Han State.

Recently, there have been accidents not only in the south. A good invasion was disrupted by a typhoon, and the intelligence from the Central Plains and Qindi also showed many events that would have a huge impact on the Han Kingdom.

Lu Zhe had no choice but to "liberate" Huan Chu and Wu Rui in advance, but it was obvious that because he had to deal with too many things, the manpower he could use was still insufficient. He knew that the ability of the communist lieutenant was not bad, which could be seen from the period of time when the lieutenant was the governor of Hengshan County. He now needs the co-lieutenant not to close himself off for some reason, so he has recruited him in the hope of re-energizing the co-lieutenant.

At this moment, Lu Zhe and Gongwei have been strolling down the green corridor for half an hour, and they seem to be having a rather depressed conversation?

"The minister knows that the king is broad-minded, and he will not be ...... because of the things that his father once did" Gongwei's heart was obviously extremely bitter: "But...... You know that the minister has no lofty goals (ambitions), and he can be reused by the king, and now he has become a nobleman, and he has long been satisfied. ”

"Is it because there are people with bad intentions who are constantly looking for your father?" Lu Zhe asked directly.

The lieutenant didn't seem surprised, none of them who had followed Lu Zhe early did not know who they were loyal to had formed a mysterious department, which not only spying on external intelligence, but also spying on hundreds of civil and military officials. So Lu Zhe knew that there were some "remnants" who went to find Gongao, and he was not surprised.

The so-called mysterious department is naturally Yan Bi's intelligence yamen, and the civil and military are very jealous of that department, after all, who wants to be monitored? Fortunately, Lu Zhe didn't do anything to cut anyone, otherwise they would not only be jealous, but should be......

"You know that what you want is a country ruled by law, not a country where anyone can trample on the law at will because they like it." Lu Zhe said very seriously in the front, but he smiled later: "In such a country, if someone offends the king, he will not be robbed of his family and ancestors, and he will only be judged by the law when he destroys the interests of the country." Therefore, even if Lone doesn't like someone very much, he can only not appoint or reuse it, but he must resist the urge to catch someone and cut off his head. ”

The lieutenant respectfully saluted: "It is precisely because of the king that we are willing to follow him to the death." ”

What do you mean? That is to say, because of Lu Zhe's self-discipline and Lu Zhe's always sharing interests, they believe that as long as they follow such a person do not seek death, they will not cause any disaster.

"So...... You decided to take yourself as a model and put it in the open for the ministers to see, to dispel some of their doubts? Lu Zhe looked as if he had just understood something, and suddenly came back to his senses.

"A country where kings don't kill because of their joys and sorrows, a country where you can get a matching status if you are willing to work hard, and the minister is willing to be like that." As he spoke, the lieutenant was shining with a god-like brilliance...... Fake, of course. He maintained a posture of deacumbing: "Waiting for the king's justice does not need a minister as a typical ......"

"Lone will definitely thank you for your efforts, and will also be regarded as a confidant, so the Gongjia will not worry about the opportunity to rise, and will become one of the great nobles of the Han Kingdom in the future?" Lu Zhe began to laugh after speaking.

Sure enough, everything has a cause and effect, in such a feudal era, efforts are seeking returns, Gongwei obviously feels that the country tends to be stable, and he is no longer needed, so he makes Lu Zhe unhappy, so he simply looks for an opportunity to express it clearly.

"Sometimes I really can't understand your thoughts......" Lu Zhe shook his head and didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, he waved his hand and continued to walk forward, saying as he walked: "There was an accident in the south, and something in the north also forced us to implement the plan in advance. You need to be well prepared. ”

The lieutenant just answered the "promise", and during the salute, he saw Yan Bi coming over and asked, "That minister retired?" ”

"Wait, there are some things that require you to be present," Lu Zhe said and looked at Yan Bi: "That guy is in front?" ”

“……？” The lieutenant looked at Yan Bi in confusion. He had guessed that he would return to the Northern Sequence, but it seemed that his guess was a little wrong?

Yan Bi was also confused when he saw the presence of the lieutenant when he came over, and when he heard the question, he replied: "Lord, Gaotong seems to have guessed that our army is in trouble in the south. ”

"Really?" Lu Zhe has never regarded anyone in this era as a fool: "That's right, I'm one of the ministers of the Ouyu Kingdom, and I always have to have a matching IQ to get into such an official position." He continued to walk forward.

Lu Zhe walked forward, but Yan Bi asked the lieutenant: "Said?" ”

Gongwei obviously knew what Yan Bi was asking, and nodded: "So, the king has already guessed it?" ”

"I guess it's only you ......, forget it, but that's fine," Yan Bi signaled to hurry up with Lu Zhe's pace, and then lowered his voice: "Things are not good over there in Qindi, the First Emperor is very likely to die in the near future, Fusu has to lead the army back to Xianyang to prepare for the possible seizure of the throne, Meng Tian's troops are not enough, and it is likely to be broken through by the Huns." In addition, Wang Ben on the Central Plains side is preparing for the fourth attack on Handan......"

"In other words, the war on the northern front of the Qin State may collapse, and Wang Ben's partial division will also be defeated because of the death of the First Emperor?" Gongwei couldn't help but stop, he knew too well what the upheaval in Qin Di would have on the Han Kingdom.

On the other side, Lu Zhe had already seen Gaotong who was being watched by the armor soldiers.

Of course, Gaotong also saw Lu Zhe, who was protected by the armor and walked in a walking posture. The Lu Zhe he saw didn't have any of the pedigrees that a king should have...... (To be continued......)
