Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

After getting Gao Yao's permission, Feng Quji took a deep breath and continued, "Mr. Prime Minister, as we all know, soldiers join the army to protect the country's peace and stability; secondly, they also hope to gain glory and welfare for their descendants through their own hard work. Now you only emphasize military merits and don't mention the title at all. In my opinion, could it be that the Prime Minister intends to abolish this long-standing title system? I wonder if what I said is true?"

Just as Feng Quji finished speaking, a thunderclap exploded in the hall, and everyone couldn't help but gasp. The noisy discussions disappeared without a trace, replaced by a deathly silence and a suffocating atmosphere of tension.

Feng Quji's words were like a sharp sword, piercing the surface calm, exposing a key issue that everyone had been ignoring - the title system. He mentioned it so lightly, but it seemed to ring a heavy alarm bell in everyone's heart, making everyone realize that things were far from as simple as they imagined.

Gao Yao couldn't help but secretly praise Feng Quji. Although he didn't intend to hide this issue, after issuing many complicated decrees, everyone was still busy digesting and understanding the meaning and impact of those new policies, but Feng Quji was able to quickly grasp the key points in this chaos and was the first to notice the more important core issue that Gao Yao had intentionally or unintentionally ignored. His sharp vision and quick thinking were truly amazing.

"Yes, I do want to abolish the title system!" When Gao Yao said this, the whole hall seemed to be swept by a gust of wind, setting off a storm. Everyone present, whether it was Zhang Liang, Xiao He and other wise ministers who had managed to maintain their composure before, or other officials and generals, all stared with their eyes wide open, with expressions of incredible shock on their faces.

Because they knew very well that once the title system was abolished, the scope of the impact would cover all personnel in the entire army from top to bottom. This meant that the status, treatment and even future fate of countless people would undergo earth-shaking changes. Faced with such an unprecedented huge change, everyone present could no longer remain calm and composed. They were either whispering to each other or frowning and thinking hard about how to deal with it. For a while, the hall was in chaos. Everyone could not help but whisper to each other.

"How dare you! How dare you be so rude!" An angry shout was heard, exploding like thunder in the hall.

Immediately afterwards, a loud "bang" was heard, which hurt everyone's eardrums.

Then there was another "click..." sound of a crisp crack, and Gao Yao's originally tense face suddenly frowned tightly. His broad palm fell as fast as lightning and slammed hard on the desk where Young Master Gao was sitting.

As this thunderous palm fell, the entire document was shattered into pieces in an instant, like a fragile porcelain, and wood chips and paper fragments flew everywhere. This sudden change made the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly solidify. For a moment, there was complete silence, as if even the air had stopped flowing. All the people present had a changed face. They looked at what was happening in front of them with horror, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.

Almost in an instant, everyone did the same thing at the same time - they fell to the ground and buried their heads in their arms, fearing that they would attract Gao Yao's attention. Everyone's face showed a look of panic, and they didn't even dare to breathe. They were silent and didn't dare to talk about what had just happened.

At this time, Gao Yao's majestic voice resounded in the hall again: "How shameful! I haven't finished speaking yet, are you guys planning to rebel?" His words were like a chilling wind, making people shudder. As the words fell, everyone present was so frightened that they trembled all over, not daring to move, and could only lie on the ground obediently, without even the courage to look up at Gao Yao.

After a long while, seeing that everyone had completely quieted down, Gao Yao slowly put away the angry expression on his face. Although he was no longer angry, the invisible pressure still enveloped the entire hall, making everyone feel heavy in their hearts and dare not slack off in the slightest.

As Gao Yao got angry, all the momentum he had accumulated was revealed. The domineering aura that Gao Yao displayed at this moment made people shudder. This was completely different from the aura that Gongzi Gao had just displayed.

At this time, Feng Quji, an old minister of the Qin Dynasty, also felt a great pressure. Feng Quji could say that this feeling was familiar. It was a sense of déjà vu facing the vigorous Qin Shihuang. This made Feng Quji feel very stressed.

"I have never thought of canceling the lord's treatment, I just want to abolish the title of lord. At the same time, the rewards given to the lords will no longer be limited to land and slaves, but will be replaced by various forms of money and food as payment. Take the most basic soldiers as an example. The original annual salary given to them by the southern border was only 70 stones, but now it has been directly changed to 150 stones!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderclap in the hall, shocking many people present to be dumbfounded and gasp. You know, under normal circumstances, the annual salary granted by the Qin Dynasty to ordinary soldiers is about 50 stones, which is already quite generous and can allow a family of three to barely make a living. Of course, what is being said here is the Qin Dynasty under normal circumstances. In fact, many of the decrees issued by the Qin Dynasty are good deeds in themselves, but there are often too many problems and omissions in the specific implementation level. But this adjustment of the salary of the soldiers in the southern border is real and there is no water at all!

Especially in terms of military salaries, even the corresponding military commanders would not intervene, thus avoiding the withholding of food and grass. Now Gao Yao has directly increased it to 150, which almost means that if one person in the family is a soldier, the whole family will not have to worry about food and drink. If the family has a few acres of land and cultivates it a little, it can be regarded as a small landlord.

"From now on, the military will implement a strict grading system, abolish the original military positions, and gradually arrange new military positions!"
