Han Khan

Chapter 92, Rewards and Status Level System
Looking at everyone, Zhang Sheng raised the glass glass filled with kumis.

"My loyal warriors and all the officiants, you are all devout believers of Lord Haotian. At this moment, under the watchful eyes of Lord Haotian, let us praise the name of God and drink a full cup for our victory."

Zhang Sheng's voice in the tent was sonorous and powerful. His eyes swept over everyone present, his eyes full of enthusiasm and confidence.

Everyone was immediately excited and raised their glasses to drink up the kumis in one gulp. The Jinhan tribe did not even have enough food to eat, let alone use it to make wine.

They also chanted loudly and in unison: "Haotian is great!!"

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhang Sheng continued:
"I have promised you that after defeating the Kuchuut tribe and occupying the Great Lakes Basin, I will reward you generously." His words seemed to carry an invisible power, making everyone feel his sincerity.

Zhang Xibao immediately stood up and saluted respectfully, saying, "Your Highness, all that the Jinhan tribe has achieved now depends on your wise leadership. We have only made a small contribution. We are willing to follow you forever and ever!"

Cardinal Zhang Zhongxian, who was already over fifty years old, nodded when he heard what Zhang Xibao said. He felt that the boy was teachable. No matter how great his achievements were, he could not show off in front of His Highness. Now Zhang's descendants were spread across all levels of the army. Zhang Zhongxian did not want his descendants to suffer disaster because of their pride and arrogance.

Zhang Sheng smiled and nodded, then continued:
"Now, I, Jin Han, have completely occupied the Great Lake Basin. I have nearly 10,000 households and 80,000 to 90,000 people under my command, and the number of livestock such as cattle, sheep, horses, and camels is close to more than one million.

But how do we manage so many people? We have no farmers, and no land for farmers to cultivate. All we can rely on are the herders who graze our livestock for us, so that we can get food and clothing from the livestock.

How can we firmly control this land and pasture to which we have migrated thousands of miles at great pains?

How can we increase the number of loyal tribesmen and soldiers who can speak elegant language for the Jinhan tribe, and let the soldiers wear enough armor to become elite troops to defend against foreign invasion?

How can we implement the will of Haotian God and make more people believe in the will of His Majesty Haotian God?

These questions have been bothering me.”

Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard this. Yes, the Jinhan tribe was no longer the small tribe that had just separated from Dunhuang. It was time for it to have a definite ruling and legal system.

At this time they heard Zhang Sheng continue to say:
"To reward you and the Jinhan warriors for your contributions, I will now reward you with slaves and livestock."

Zhang Sheng asked each regiment commander to bring the rosters in their hands and began to reward the soldiers who had made meritorious contributions in the battle against the Guchuut tribe.

Zhang Sheng said:
"First, the priest camp. You have made great contributions to the missionary work of the Jinhan people, and have helped the dead warriors to redeem their souls and educate their children. Therefore, I will allocate 100 slave households, sheep, cows, and horses to you for the expenses of the priest camp."

The six main priests bowed in thanks.

"Next, it is my loyal and brave holy warriors. You followed me to defeat the Guchuwuti tribe and conquer the Great Lake Basin. For this, I will give you a great reward to reward your merits.

Zhang Xibao, Koza, Boniek, Yin Shanxiong, the four captains, you are pious and skilled warriors. To show your merits, I will reward you with 20 slaves, 1000 sheep, 200 cattle, and 100 horses each. "

The four of them quickly knelt and bowed to Zhang Sheng and said:
"Your Highness, thank you for your reward!"

Zhang Sheng nodded slightly and continued:
“Each battalion commander under the Guards Regiment shall be given 10 slaves, 500 sheep, 100 cattle, and 50 horses;

Each centurion was given 5 slaves, 200 sheep, 50 cattle, and 20 horses.
Ten heads of households each with 2 slaves, 100 sheep, 20 cows, and 10 horses
Each guard had one slave household, 1 sheep, 50 cows, and 10 horses.

Those who left slavery and became regular soldiers were rewarded with armor, war horses, bows and swords, as well as 10 sheep each.

These are all rewards for your meritorious service in battle, to reward your bravery in the battle. In addition, each centurion will receive 100 sheep as an additional reward. "

"We thank you for your reward, Your Highness!"

The four captains of the guards and the four hereditary captains in the tent all knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Sheng to express their gratitude! "The rewards for the battalions, centurions, decanters, and guards are in your hands. The premise is that you are not allowed to embezzle anything, otherwise your military positions will be over."

Everyone in the tent hurriedly said they didn't dare!

In this way, 4340 households, more than 23 prisoners, more than 5 sheep, 3 cattle, and horses were distributed to officers and warriors of all levels of the Guards.

Finally, Zhang Sheng stood up, his voice as loud as a bell, echoing throughout the tent: "From today on, our Jinhan tribe will implement a brand new system - the military merit system!
From now on, no matter what their status is, as long as they have fought meritorious service, achieved something, or made other achievements, even the humblest slaves can be promoted and promoted like before, and they will all get the rewards they deserve!
This will inspire the fighting spirit of the soldiers, and everyone in the tribe will have the opportunity to be promoted through fighting and other means, and gain higher status and honor! "

At this point, Zhang Sheng paused, glanced at everyone, and then continued: "In order to achieve this goal, I referred to the five-level nobility system of the ancient times, and on this basis, I created a unique fourteen-level system for my Jinhan tribe.

These include the great king, marquis, duke, gentleman, duke, senior minister, middle minister, lower minister, senior official, middle official, lower official, senior sergeant, middle sergeant, and lower sergeant.

That is, the rank of Lord, Noble, Senior Official and Scholar. These ranks will be used to reward those soldiers who have made outstanding contributions in battle!"

At the same time, I also clearly divided the levels of status of the priests serving His Majesty the Lord God of Heaven, namely, cardinal dean, celebrant, priest, and priest.

Except for the priest class and the military warrior class, the rest of the people in the Jinhan tribe were the subjects of the Jinhan tribe and the lowest slaves.

The subjects and slaves also had their own ranks.

The subjects were divided into upper-class households, middle-class households and lower-class households, which was determined according to the amount of property.

The subjects with the most property and who lived better off than the middle and lower-class households were the upper-class households. They were the ideal targets for providing tax revenue for Jin Han, while the middle and lower-class households were the targets for military service.

As for the slaves, they are divided into door slaves who serve us Jinhan people at home;

The second is the slave soldiers who serve as cannon fodder and human shields in wartime;

Finally, there are the coolie slaves who are used for heavy physical work such as building fortresses and mining.

Although the status of a house slave is low, if he can make great contributions to his master, he can be rewarded, freed from slavery and become a subject.

Slave soldiers were required to fight bravely on the battlefield. If they made military achievements, they would not only receive rewards but also be promoted to warriors.

As for the coolie slaves, they could only silently endure the heavy labor and had few opportunities to change their fate.

However, people of all levels can be promoted by making meritorious services. Slaves become subjects, subjects become warriors, warriors are promoted to officials, officials are promoted to nobles, and nobles are promoted to kings. They are promoted step by step according to their merits and receive corresponding rewards.

Of course, it is not impossible that they will be demoted or even become the lowest slaves because of poor performance in combat, betrayal of me, betrayal of Jin Han, betrayal of the Holy Church and Haotian and belief in paganism, or crime and violation of the law. "

Zhang Sheng's words made everyone in the tent very excited. They seemed to see their hope of promotion under the new system.

Because anyone who can sit here and discuss various affairs of Jinhan with Your Highness is definitely not a humble subject or a lowly slave.

But everyone was shocked after hearing this. According to His Highness's classification, the entire Jinhan tribe will be divided into 20 levels in the future.

They couldn't imagine that the Jinhan tribe was now just a tribe. Although it was developing very rapidly, there were still many powerful tribes around it.

But from what His Highness said, it seems that Jinhan is no longer a simple tribe, but has become a country...
