Next were established the Grand Commandant, Minister over the Masses, and Minister of Works—the Three Dukes.

周太祖初據關內，官名未改魏號。 及方隅粗定，改創章程，命尚書令盧辯，遠師周之建職，置三公三孤，以為論道之官。 次置六卿，以分司庶務。 其所制班序：
When Emperor Wu of Zhou first held the Guanzhong region, the office titles had not yet been changed from Wei designations. When the four quarters were roughly settled, he reformed and created new regulations, appointing Lu Bian as Director of the Department of State Affairs to take the Zhou system of offices as his distant model, establishing the Three Dukes and Three Solitaries as officers of moral discourse. Next he established the Six Ministers to divide and manage the various affairs of state. The rank order he established was:
543
內命，謂王朝之臣。 三公九命，三孤八命，六卿七命，上大夫六命，中大夫五命，下大夫四命，上士三命，中士再命，下士一命。
Inner appointments referred to ministers of the royal court. The Three Dukes held nine grades of appointment, the Three Solitaries eight, the Six Ministers seven, Upper Grand Masters six, Middle Grand Masters five, Lower Grand Masters four, Upper Gentlemen three, Middle Gentlemen two grades, and Lower Gentlemen one.
544
外命，謂諸侯及其臣。 諸公九命，諸侯八命，諸伯七命，諸子六命，諸男五命，諸公之孤卿四命，侯之孤卿、公之大夫三命，子男之孤卿、侯伯之大夫、公之上士再命，子男之大夫、公之中士、侯伯之上士一命，公之下士、侯伯之中士下士、子男之士不命。
Outer appointments referred to the feudal lords and their ministers. Feudal dukes held nine grades, marquises eight, earls seven, viscounts six, barons five; the Solitary Ministers and Directors of feudal dukes four; the Solitary Ministers and Directors of marquises three; the Solitary Ministers and Directors of viscounts and barons, the Grand Masters of marquises and earls, and the Upper Gentlemen of dukes two; the Grand Masters of viscounts and barons, the Middle Gentlemen of dukes, and the Upper Gentlemen of marquises and earls one; the Lower Gentlemen of dukes, the Middle and Lower Gentlemen of marquises and earls, and the Gentlemen of viscounts and barons received no grade of appointment.
545
其制祿秩，下士一百二十五石，中士已上，至於上大夫，各倍之。 上大夫是為四千石。 卿二分，孤三分，公四分，各益其一。 公因盈數為一萬石。 其九秩一百二十石，八秩至於七秩，每二秩六分而下各去其一，二秩一秩俱為四十石。 凡頒祿，視年之上下。 畝至四釜為上年，上年頒其正。 三釜為中年，中年頒其半。 二釜為下年，下年頒其一。 無年為凶荒，不頒祿。 六官所制如此。
For salary grades, Lower Gentlemen received one hundred twenty-five shi; from Middle Gentlemen upward to Upper Grand Masters, each rank doubled the previous. Upper Grand Masters thus received four thousand shi. Ministers received two shares, Solitary Ministers three, and Dukes four, each adding one share. Dukes, by the full number, received ten thousand shi. The ninth grade was one hundred twenty shi; from the eighth through the seventh grade, each two grades reduced by one-sixth; the second and first grades were both forty shi. Salaries were distributed according to the quality of the year's harvest. When the yield reached four fu per mu, it was a good year, and the full salary was distributed. Three fu was an average year, and half the salary was distributed. Two fu was a poor year, and one-third of the salary was distributed. When there was no harvest, it was a year of famine and disaster, and no salary was distributed. Such was the system established by the Six Offices.
546
制度既畢，太祖以魏恭帝三年始命行之。 所設官名，訖於周末，多有改更。 並具《盧傳》，不復重序云。
When the system was complete, the Founding Emperor ordered it implemented beginning in the third year of Emperor Gong of Wei. The office titles that were established underwent many changes by the end of the Zhou dynasty. All are recorded in the Biography of Lu Bian and will not be repeated here.
