CHAPTER 501 - ALUMNI

In the middle of the night, the rain continued to fall.

Lu Xiangsheng and Ge Lin who were walking from Hall for Ancestry Worship walked towards the official residence and chatted. The two of them were both martial arts practitioners and restraining people. For any true warrior, they would have great control over their own body and control over their own drinking.

Ge Lin, the provincial graduate of Danyang, was simply a weirdo. One person could fight against ten of Imperial Guards at the same time, his martial skills were exceptional, and his strength could drag on for a long time until the later stages of the battle. His battle prowess was so strong that he was about to change to the seventh stage of the General's House, Hu Ben.

Behind the two, two soldier in armor guards followed.

In Hall for Ancestry Worship's feast, Ge Lin was not yet qualified. With both of his hands behind his back, he teased: When I bought the casual clothes today, I heard some people chatting in the capital saying that it was this rain without any warning, caused by the storm last night and the river god's tears.

He met Lu Xiangsheng on his own. His official position had not been confirmed and his official uniform had not been issued to him. He had no choice but to borrow money to buy a new set of clothes.

The river god?

How could Lu Xiangsheng believe this? He smiled and said: I presume that the River God of Qinhuai is not a problem. Prince Liao handed over the paper, saying that he wanted to add the Jialing River Ling Ji Marquis to the title of Yangtze River Dragon God. The Dragon God's thoughts are within the imperial government, so it would be no problem for you to take care of a Qinhuai River God.

Ge Lin shook his head and smiled. Seeing the worry on Lu Xiangsheng's face, he did not know how to speak, otherwise he would not be able to practice his martial arts. He shook his head and stopped speaking.

There were a lot of things that had to be arranged in Nanjing. Many officials didn't need enough mansions, so at the moment, people like them, who had no families, could only squeeze together.

In the east of the imperial city, the abandoned Duke Han's estate was temporarily used as an official residence.

When Lu Xiangsheng arrived, his cousin Lu Xiangtong had already laid out the bedding and was boiling water with bamboo charcoal in a copper bowl.

Ge Lin had a lazy personality. He rubbed his face and sat cross-legged on the bed to meditate. Don't think too much about it.

Wearing a robe, Lu Xiangsheng sat at the table and looked at the paper, unable to see through it.

There were some things about his parents that made it impossible for him to meditate. His grandfather, Lu Lizhi, was a thirteen year old provincial graduate. After failing to pass the examination to become a High Scholar for half a lifetime, he had already participated in the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs selection. His father was Lu Guobin, an Elementary Scholar with Yixing, and his mother was Lee.

Now the emperor is pushing Nguyen Kai-shek to give his father, Lu Guobin, an official in Yuan-zhi County. The matter today was at the Hall for Ancestry Worship, so one of the people in the same department as the prime minister had mentioned it to him. The candidate had already been selected, and the only thing missing was to report the matter to the prime minister tomorrow.

Although it was a beautiful conversation between father and son and the dynasty's officials, he was in the Steward Division. His father was in the Upper Yuan County, which meant that his father's superior (Ying Tian Palace Chief) (Yingtian grand coordinator), the superior (Official of Transmission), was not on good terms with his father.

After all, 3 lives of misfortune, Kenzhou County attached; 3 lives of evil, attached to the provincial capital; the full range of evil, attached to the capital city.

The Kaixian County's vassal means that Kenzhou and the prefectural government are in the same city. Thus, his every move will be restrained and he will run for his life . He will no longer have the prestige of a father and mother official . Affiliated city "means that the county, prefectural and grand coordinator are all in the same city. There was no need to mention the fact that even if he pretended to be a grandson, he would still be beaten up.

His father had a short temper and was too naïve about many things. He was very afraid that if his father came to take office, he would 'create five lecherous sticks' and offend everyone with The Law of Ming Dynasty .

Unfortunately, the Prime Minister's Palace regarded this matter as very important. They were prepared to send a heavyweight Han Lin to announce the appointment of the official and the title of title to Lu Xiangsheng's mother.

As the person in charge of Yixing and also the person in charge of Hanlin Academy, Zhou Yanru felt that he was duty-bound.

Today at Hall for Ancestry Worship, Zhou Yanru had tried to get close to Lu Xiangsheng, but Lu Xiangsheng's reaction was plain, which made Zhou Yanru anxious. There would be a day when his matter would be exposed. The people who could save him were in Steward Division, and the Prime Minister's Estate would definitely not have anyone speak up for him. The General's Estate was not that professional, and the Magic Division brought him to his death. The only thing that could save him was his Steward Division.

In his eyes, the officials of the Residence of General had changed. They had hardened their hearts to follow the emperor and were truly ruthless and merciless.

A long time ago, when Lu Xiangshengzhong was a top scorer, Zhou Yanru had come into contact with Lu Xiangsheng. Lu Xiangsheng also had the same reaction. How could Zhou Yanru, a dignified Duke Number One Scholar, endure such a cold reaction? Right now, the situation was much better than others. With Lu Xiangsheng, a fellow villager from the Yixing Academy, not hugging the elephant leg was no different from courting death.

The Ming Dao Academy was a branch of the Eastwoods Academy. After the rise of the Eastwoods, the head of the Ming Dao Academy came from the Eastwoods. The ones who came out were naturally the direct descendants of Eastwood. However, there were also those who were not of Eastwood status, such as Zhou Yanru 9 who were not a member of the Communist Party and were not from Eastwood. Lu Xiangsheng was not either. Before he passed the provincial graduate exam, he was unknown in Yixing, so he was not even selected by the people in Donglin City.

Eastwood Academy was located at the Changzhou. Earlier on, no Sisi man Gu Xiancheng, Gao Pan, and the others were lecturing at the Dragon City Academy in the Changzhou. This was an official's school. Set up a banner here to gather people and spread the word. At that time, the Procurator of Changzhou, Ouyang Dongfeng, was one of the Eastwoods people. After the Dragon City Academy was unable to continue lecturing, Ouyang Dongfeng collected money and retrained at the original location of the Eastwoods Academy, becoming the base and new stronghold of the Eastwoods people.

The people of the Changzhou region gathered together, and the results of the Imperial examinations were impressive. In order to take a step forward in the development of Changzhou education, to cultivate cultural talents, to establish a specialized academy, and to extend the teaching of a master teacher, it was necessary.

There was a jade belt river on the Changzhou. According to the feng shui, it was related to Changzhou and Wen Chang's luck. During the Long Qing years, local dignitaries were required to pull out the soldiers to show the outlandish parents, dredging up the jade belt river and building the Dragon City Institute.

Dredging the Jadebelt River, thinking that it will be a place where the humanities will flourish in the future. To build the Dragon City Academy, he would choose the elites and the scholars to give their lectures. For those who entered the selection, everyone thought that it was a great honor.

Zhang Juzheng changed the law when he was in charge of the cabinet. In order to prevent the intellectual circles from slandering the government, he completely destroyed the whole world's library. When Ouyang Dongfeng became the Changzhou Magistrate, he did not think so. In the year 31 of Wan Li Dynasty, Changzhou rebuilt the Dragon City Academy, allowing Gu Xiancheng, who specialised in biting Zhang Juzheng, to teach. The next year, because the government was sensitive to government affairs, a special government official oversaw the construction of the Donglin Academy in Wuxi. At that time, under the protection and advocacy of Ouyang Dongfeng, the Dragon City Academy's Sect Master, Qian Yiping, had become one with Gu Xiancheng, Gao Anlong, Gu Yuncheng, and Mr. Yukchi of the Yixing Mingdao Academy. The Changzhou Palace was the headquarters of the Eastwoods Academy.

First, there was the Dragon City, then there was the Eastwood Academy. This was generally acknowledged; the Ming Dao Academy was a powerful addition to the Eastwood Academy.

Regardless of their advocacy, the educational ability of these three branches is very strong. The strongest were the Dragon City and the Eastwood Academy. Zhou Yanru is a serious undergraduate in Ming Dao Academy, Lu Xiangsheng is also one of them.

However, Lu Xiangsheng had studied abroad with his grandfather when he was young. When he went back to his hometown to enter the Mingming Dao Academy, Zhou Yanru was already famous throughout the world and was very popular.

It was precisely because of the appearance of Duke Number One Scholar at the Mingdao Academy that Lu Xiangsheng had been indirectly sent back to his hometown to study at the Mingdao Academy. At that time, the Lu family hadn't reached the city yet, so Lu Xiangsheng had to walk seven miles of mountain road to reach the City Academy.

Don't think that the Jiangnan Mountains are easy to walk across. There are plenty of tigers, leopards, and the like.

It was in this environment that Lu Xiangsheng practiced his martial arts.

This is the cause-and-effect relationship between Zhou Yanru and Lu Xiangsheng. The topic was to go to Yixing tomorrow and ask Lu Xiangsheng if he wanted to deliver a message to his family.

He believed that Lu Xiangsheng wasn't stupid, he should be able to understand Lu Xiangsheng's intentions.

He was satisfied with his official voice. He didn't think that Lu Xiangsheng would distance himself from him and guard against him. The two were from the same village and were alumni of the school. There was no reason for them to be friends. If a friend becomes a friend, then naturally, when a friend is in trouble, they should cut a hole in the wall …

That's right, Zhou Yanru's current reputation was indeed very good. He had not done anything evil during Hanlin Academy Cleansing, and now that he was the head of the three dynasties recording and editing, he naturally yearned for today.

Lu Xiangsheng naturally respected Zhou Yanru and personally went out to welcome him.

It was very enjoyable for Zhou Yanru. After entering the room and looking at the tea, his expression was easygoing. With respect for Lu Xiangsheng's father and respect for him, he brought up the reason for his visit.

Lu Xiangsheng is also a person with a burning Changzhou, so naturally, everything that happened during his childhood was dug up." Zhou Yanru also wholeheartedly studied it for a while and praised Lu Xiangsheng, who was known to the emperor as a man of martial arts and loyalty.

About Lu Xiangsheng's childhood, it was a pleasant story, which he narrated and sighed with emotion. A child should be like Lu Jianzhu...

Lu Xiangsheng was very filial when he was seven. His mother had a heart attack when he was seven years old. He stayed awake day and night to share his mother's pain until she recovered.

When Lu Xiangsheng was young, he went with his grandfather and granddaughter to Jiangxi province, and his grandfather accidentally fell into the river. Lu Xiangsheng appealed to the big figures in the ship for help and helped Minister of War, the Xiao tycoon, to come out.

One evening, when he heard that his father was sick, he was single and hurriedly rushed home. The road from Yixing City to Ming-Ling mountain area was very dangerous, it was the place where tigers and leopards roamed.

After the founding of the later generation, there were even records of killing young cheetahs in the Yixing and Ming-Ling mountain range. Lu Xiangsheng was not afraid at all and by the time he got home, it was already morning.

Eunuch Zhou …

Lu Xiangsheng had a troubled expression on his face. He had been troubled by this question for a day, but the difficulty was not in refusing the emperor's reward, but in speaking up. This was in conflict with his ideals, with the rules of the Lu family. He could put himself in danger and risk his life for the blood of the imperial court, but he did not want his father to take the risk.

He was well aware of his father's temperament, and he had been appointed to the county of Yuanzhou. He had made sure to roll up his sleeves and bring his coffin with him.

He really didn't want his father to take the risk, but how could he open his mouth like that? In a conflict with his own ideals, he might even be beaten up by his father if he pushed it away and went home.

Dying for the imperial government was his father's long-cherished wish, and it was only logical for it to come true. In terms of emotions, he truly did not wish to do so.

Zhou Yanru had not yet committed any evil deeds, and his reputation was very good. He also showed his admiration for the Lu family. Lu Xiangsheng was very close with his fellow countrymen and seniors, so it would be difficult for him to say anything.

Could it be that this is a difficult matter? Tell me, perhaps the stone of other mountains can be used to take the jade.

Zhou Yanru's expression was sincere and filled with concern. He was truly concerned about everything about Lu Xiangsheng. This would be his lifeline in the future. How could he not be concerned?

With a sigh, Lu Xiangsheng explained the difficult situation that he was facing.

Hearing Lu Xiangsheng's contradiction, Zhou Yanru suddenly felt that Lu Xiangsheng was quite cute. He was a pure person, and he sighed in his heart that perhaps it was this purity that won the trust and respect of the previous emperor and the current generation. He also wanted to be pure, but he had no other way out. With such a huge weakness in his hands, he could only turn himself into something complicated.

Jian Dou, how wise and farsighted is monarchal farther? Why would he put your father in danger? With your father's purple clay pot of Yixing, your father is safe and sound, and no one dares to be impudent.

Moreover, a person's life must be built up, as expected of this life. In the eyes of the foolish brother, being able to die at the right time was also a form of honor. Jian Dou, you're acting all messed up just because you're concerned about something. Think about it, isn't that true?"

Patting Lu Xiangsheng's skinny shoulders, Zhou Yanru smiled and looked at Lu Xiangsheng with a pair of innocent eyes.

has been killed by sensitive word checks,

CHAPTER 502 - ABOVE RANK

Zhou Yanru is the top scholar, and more than 3, really have the figure of prime minister. He was not idle on his side, and there was no way Liu Tie would waste his time in vain. He would take the Madam's route, letting his wife head to the Qinhuai River in the middle of the night in the rain, in search of their Huzhou's hometown, Mr Baojuan.

Everyone was clear about the women in the Qinhuai. They were a group of creatures that came out day and night.

After last night's cleansing, in just one day, all of the singing houses on the southern shore of Qinhuai had fallen into the hands of Baojuan. Wen Tiren was able to learn about this news at the first time, just like a lot of other people.

He had a nagging feeling that this was another case that was being cooked up by the spy agency, where the emperor was venting his anger on Mr Baojuan.

Wen Tiren naturally knew what kind of morality lay behind the shadow of Qinhuai. It was impossible for the women who came out of the Qinhuai to not hate those who once taught him (Crab Cult, Mammy, Teacher).

However, what does the change in Qinhuai have to do with him, Wen Tiren?

During the day, the Emperor entered the Imperial City and had a temper that was extremely disrespectful.

What did this mean? This meant that the higher ups of South Zhili would have to adjust greatly. Wen Tiren was tired of the expensive task of Ministry of Rites's assistant minister, since there was not even one point in it. In the past, the six branch officials had been tyrannical, and Ministry of Rites was the one that restricted the Emperor's vital points. Right now, the Ministry of Rites was becoming more and more like a yamen for the elderly.

There were many important tasks concerning the proclamation of orders, and they were all handled by expensive yamen such as Deacon Mansion and Hanlin Academy. Since Ministry of Rites had lost its restraints on the emperor, and had lost the vigor of managing the affairs of the emperor, and there wasn't even a place in the city that had the status of a courier to announce the proclamation of orders, what was the meaning of this official standing in front of the emperor?

He already had more, and if he didn't try hard enough to become a assistant prime minister, by the time he reached the third generation, he would have more than 6 years left. It was basically the fate of a life in retirement. Therefore, before the South Zhili adjustment begins, the most important thing is to make preparations.

Sun Chuantinng couldn't sleep at night and thought about entering the palace tomorrow.

Mrs Zhang held the lamp in her hand and went to the study to change a bowl of new tea for him. Sun Chuantinng was still holding a pen to compose and weigh the words. His duty directly determined the change in strength of the South Zhili.

Sun Chuantinng didn't think that the entire bottom level of South Zhili would be replaced. He felt that the Emperor would give him this little bit of face. He had underestimated Zhu Hongzhao's caution. Zhu Hongzhao would not tolerate a single hidden danger.

Although his martial skills were not bad, but with the development of firearms, it was still possible for him to destroy them with a fire rod at a distance of a few hundred steps. Not to mention the big guns, which were fired by the cannons from all over the place. They would be able to fire at you from a long distance.

Zhu Hongzhao never doubted the power of rolling capital. He took away a cannon from the army and installed it around the imperial city, hiring death soldiers to attack them … The difficulty wasn't that high.

Therefore, he had to straighten out the basics of South Zhili. He couldn't give face to anyone. This concerned his own life, so how could he be bound by emotions?

Early in the morning, the bell in the city rang. Zhu Hongzhao felt that this sound of sleeping could melt the bones, so he was very reluctant to open his eyes. The two lazy guys were still snoring, so he got up, put on his outer robe and left the hall.

Cold water washed his face and woke him up. He sat by the window and drank his milk tea and opened the box that Cao Huachun prepared that night. Cao Huachun probably fell asleep at this moment. Among the people around him, other people still had their shifts and holidays. Only Cao Huachun was inseparable, always attending to his calls day and night.

Cao Shaoqin's ability was a bit biased, so he could arrange some specific things to be done with care. Compared with Cao Huachun, Cao Shaoqin lacks the overall arrangement ability.

After all, the two of them had different aptitudes. Cao Huachun had entered the Palace through Department of Rite and Punishment and learned from a young age to handle the general situation while copying Department of Rite and Punishment documents (crabs). If he wasn't wrong by one word, he wouldn't have been sent to the Huajue Department and then chosen to go to the Wu Steel Manor.

Having talent and having been through hardships, this was the reason why Cao Huachun had such a good character and comprehensive ability at such a young age.

On the other hand, Cao Shaoqin was different. Sui De had ruined his life for the children of the gentry, so it was very difficult for him to survive and enter the palace. He did not have the qualifications to do so. Following Liu Shimin was a military course, so he lacked the ability to make overall arrangements.

After rummaging through the secret box, Zhu Hongzhao didn't find any thick newspapers, so he took out a piece of paper and started reading it. It was the records of the conversations of the people in the house after the Hall for Ancestry Worship banquet had ended at night.

He then drew another one, and as usual, it was the General's Estate. They were all too friendly with each other, and there were also records of the core conversation of the General's Estate. Last night, the members of the General's Estate thought that the number of military camps in and around the Imperial City should be reduced. After all, the Nocturnal Guard Imperial Guards right now was like a firearm. If the sound was too loud, it would frighten Young Master who was in the palace.

After a moment of silence, he picked up the book again and wrote down too much. He flipped to the back and read the summary. The first problem was the location of the 3000 Scholar village in the Fu Associations; the second was the limit of the search for dirty property in the Xin Chou Rebellion; and the third was the change in the mind of Bi Maokang, the chief official of the Supreme Court.

The female official who was serving at the side yawned. Seeing the Emperor playing with the paper in his hand, she began to study the cinnabar ink.

Prestige was for outsiders to play with, to play with others beside him was to create trouble for himself. This was also the reason why the eunuchs and female officials by his side blocked the sabers of the emperor one after the other.

He picked up the red ink pen and wrote a note on the sealed paper. The position of the 3000 Chinese scholar village will be set in Nanjing's lacquer garden, and the 200 soldiers of the lacquer garden designated by First Emperor Gao and Chin will be withdrawn. Allowing the Fu Associations scholars to work around the lacquer garden's production, they could choose a few public fields to hand over to Fu Associations, cutting off their supplies and raising their own food.

The lacquer garden was not too big, and the paint produced could not meet the minimum requirements of two hundred soldiers. The lacquer garden was set up for only one purpose, to let the emperors in Nanjing know that it was not easy to produce.

Decorative needs paint, paint is more important military supplies. Leather armor, for instance. Its defensive power couldn't be counted on its own skin. It relied on the paint on its surface. The thick layer of lacquer was hard, tough, beautiful and could delay the decay of the skin. This was the defensive ability of the leather armor.

CHAPTER 503 - BELOW-RANK

As usual, the 4th discount was still the price of people living in the country. The price changes of the people in recent days were all marked. Zhu Hongzhao slowly read through the boring data and analyzed the changes of different sectors of the industry. There is no doubt that house prices are still rising in Nanjing. Because it rained yesterday, the price for the dishes that were prepared to be sold outside the city during the night had greatly increased.

Do not think that food dealers do not have a system. Before entering the city to sell their dishes, or after entering the city, they would set a price that was recognized by everyone.

The fifth seal began to be liberated by the change in public opinion throughout Nanjing. When Zhou Yanru saw the conversation between Lu Xiangsheng and Lu Xiangsheng, Wen Tiren's actions and such, he was still behind the top ten in Cao Huachun's ranking. It was not a big deal.

As a person who had lived in an information explosion, Zhu Hongzhao didn't have any discomfort or fatigue when looking at such things. With one day's worth of work and 91 morning newspapers plus most of the advertising information, it was just about time for breakfast.

With his grasp of the progress of the various areas, as well as the things that he needed to decide on, he basically had nothing to do after handing over the seal.

After finishing all this work, Zhu Hongzhao officially changed. As the sky lit up, he headed to Nanjing Hall of Martial Valor.

When he arrived at Hall of Martial Valor s, the Steward Division had already arrived. Cao Huachun was arranging for an attendant to transcribe meaningful proposals so that it would be convenient for discussion.

The stacked proposal was placed on the table. After sitting down, Zhu Hongzhao started flipping through it. Many of the proposals were in advance, so he couldn't use them right now. The most important proposal right now was still the Military Service Policy, this was the large system, the entire army's rank, cortege, tax system, everything included.

Without a detailed explanation, it was impossible to do anything.

The army was relatively independent and was the starting point for this operation. First, we should finalize the military hierarchy, then the military service policy, then the expansion of the system, and then the changes in the tax system.

The preparation for the great parade of the Nanjing Garrison began in mid-August and ended on September 15th at the Mid-Autumn Festival. He also felt that the mid-autumn of September 15th sounded awkward, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, there will be a Mid-Autumn Festival this year, which will be held on September 15th.

After the Grand Examination of Nanjing, the new military rank system would be popularized, replacing the original Wu San rank system. The new military rank system would have more layers, increasing the ability of the army to organize themselves.

Hmph …

Zhu Hongzhao couldn't help but snicker when he saw the controversial content of the system.

The attendants and attendants of His Highness who were discussing in low voices paused, and only continued discussing until Zhu Hongzhao waved his hand to signal them to continue.

It was quite a ridiculous debate. The new military scale system was basically finalized. What was controversial was the name. Would they use the old name of Martial Awareness? Or would they call it military rank? The four names of Martial Dispersal Stage, Military Rank, Military Rank, and Martial Stage were being debated back and forth. Everyone took out a set of theory to debate.

The name Wu San Stage is obviously not suitable, what's the use of using your old name as a new and new name?

The title of soldier referred to the army that was defeated by the military ranks, soldiers referred to the army that had been recruited, and soldiers referred to the troops that had been recruited, and soldiers referred to the troops that had been called by the military ranks.

The core of the dispute was military rank, and it was even a martial rank.

There was no grandeur in the military ranks, but there was a sense of closeness to the ranks, with the army as the main force and the military officers as the main force. The army was owned by the emperor, and more importantly, it had to be collectively owned. They could not allow generals or military officers to represent the army. They were only appointed by the Emperor to rule the army, and the military power originated from the Emperor. It was not because they were in charge of the army, that made them the enlightened general.

This was also related to the principle of military power ownership. Although Zhu Hongzhao also felt that the Martial Stage was more powerful, the military rank was more suitable for the current situation. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used 'rank' as the name in the previous plan.

It was not that the Steward Division could not understand, but rather, this kind of proposal that required big movements. If it could be debated, then it would require players to deliberately contend with them, trying their best to avoid any gaps in their thoughts and give the emperor more choices to make.

Speaking from a legal point of view, Steward Division was just an advisor to the Emperor, they had no authority or authority. All decisions were made by the emperor, all proposals that had to be conveyed to the third division, and the final decision had to be made by the emperor, to become the emperor, not the Steward Division.

The new military rank system was divided into five levels and eighteen levels, which was even more condensed than the martial arts rank system.

From the lowest to the highest was the army, officers, school, and general level 5. They would greatly reduce the fame of the generals, condense the value of the generals, and reintroduce military officer, the military's level.

In the Qin and Han Dynasties, military officer was a senior official, the actual leading class, belonging to the most basic unit of strategic investment. Later on, in the 3 countries, a large number of very nice and impressive General Numbers appeared. The General Numbers started to be worthless, so military officer was naturally even less valuable.

The army was divided into three ranks, with the length of service as the standard, one year of new army, two years of central army, and three years of old soldier. If there is no military achievement or disciplinary violation, the option of continuing to serve after the expiration of three years shall be accepted in Nanjing or Beijing for cultural examination as well as for the training of sergeants.

The division is divided into 4 grades, the training period is for the public officials, after the appointment of this is the sergeant, deputy sergeant, sergeant. From the start of the public service, they were given the benefits of retiring and arranging local service jobs. After all, they were the most basic of officials.

Lieutenant level 3, Lieutenant level, Lieutenant level, Lieutenant level, Lieutenant level, as a commander, Outpost level 2 mainly. Retired to the ninth grade treatment, the first wife gave to the eighth and ninth grade of the title.

School level 3, military academy, deputy military academy, military academy, with department, battalion level officers as the main officers. If there are no meritorious deeds, the retirement starting with the local 8 rank official, give the first wife 8, 7 rank title, a cute child into the martial arts school.

At the same time, every time he advanced a step, he would have to head to the capital's Martial Arts Academy to study in depth, and at the same time enter the palace in turns as a Nocturnal Guard.

The Martial Arts Academy was divided into different levels. The capital established a lieutenant academy, and the official school moved with the emperor.

General Level 5, general Zhuo, Vice general, Upper general, Titled General, Titled Senior General. In the future, Titled Generals and Senior General would basically add honor to their officials.

The general of one legion, was also a general.

For every officer promoted to a general, they had to serve in the General's Estate as the official of the Nocturnal Guard, for a year as the official of the General's House, and for a year as the officer of the Nocturnal Guard.

In principle, promotion to the rank of general will serve for the rest of one's life, not being able to do anything in the army, transferring to a place where the army and goverment office does things, or being assigned to a reserve service.

The general of the Great Ming Empire, this kind of temporary official position would gradually be eliminated. The grand coordinator, the governor and the like were only allowed to be stationed in remote areas. Restoration of local administrative commissioner's office divisions, envoys divisions, and divisions to be separated and governed, each under a separate division of the imperial government, with no one interfering with the other, each forming their own system.

This was the specific division of ranks, but there were some things that needed to be changed, such as the Barracks General s being changed to Battalion Commanders. Question 9. General level 1, Minister?

It was obviously not suitable. The idea of changing the Steward Division to a 'song' which was a military system in the Han Dynasty, or to a 'regiment' which was similar to the one that was created in the Tang Dynasty. The military system of the Song Dynasty was ignored directly by similar units, and they all felt unlucky.

The battalion is bigger than the regiment? It was very normal for a battalion to be divided into three thousand small battalions. At this time, the regiment was meant to be used for training in the village. A professional unit was needed for a small militia organization, and naturally the battalion was larger than the regiment.

However, Zhu Hongzhao felt very awkward when he heard it.

Carrying a brush and drawing, the legion was the most permanent and the highest in size. It was the assembly of troops; the brigade was also the assembling of battalions, converted into a brigade. That regiment was naturally the basic unit of the brigade and legion. Based on this argument, the camp would be changed into a regiment and the division would be changed into a battalion.

It was still acceptable to change the idea of a battalion to a battalion.

In addition, changing a sentry to a team officer was also in accordance with the situation. From the start of the army formation, Deputy Chiliarchy was basically a thousand-man squad, and the total number of soldiers was a squadron of thirty-four, with the sentry officers below being the captains of a hundred men.

In Qi Jiguang's New Book on the Effect of the Ji Dynasty, the soldiers below are illiterate, or they come from a remote place, so they don't know the relationship between the names of the ordinary military personnel. The commanders of a battalion would often address them as platoon, squadron, or squad, making them easy to understand.

No matter how poor the guards were, they understood the size of the army. In the future, military service would be the main goal, and the simplified name would be as important as the military rank.

The whistle, like the part, is not a fixed word and can be broadly referred to. That is the problem.

CHAPTER 504 - TRANSFER OF TROOPS

As for the matter of the military ranking, since the main body had been decided, it still needed to be further perfected with the General's Estate within the next month. The main channel for the promotion of officers was to be stripped of the General's Estate and the system.

Since the establishment of the General's Estate, it had never grasped the way to advance an officer. Recruitment day soldier promotion, the magic division follow nuclear achievement, the general's house report, and spy agency supervision. It was impossible for the matters at the front line to be done fairly, but the matter of repayment had left everyone unable to eat. This was also the result of negotiations.

The front line only had temporary appointments, no promotions. The soldiers who returned to the mainland in turn were promoted to the rank of general when they were awarded awards in Shandong, and there was no actual connection between them and the General's House.

Before the General's Estate had a substantial grasp over the path to advancement, it would not be difficult to secede this power from the system. After all, Zhu Hongzhao didn't block the way, and gave the cute juniors of the General Grade a way to join the army. The setting up of the General's House was also a way to supplement the situation. Huban Lang was a lieutenant, Huban Zhong Lang was a high ranked officer, and the Huban Token was a subordinate of the general.

In the long run, the channel could not be relegated to the same path. It would not be beneficial to anyone, and it would be beneficial to both sides. Thus, complementing each other's yin and yang was the right path.

It also involved the arrangements for the retirement of military officers, so they had to greet the Prime Minister's residence. Otherwise, like this time, the two residences would have no room for negotiation.

He continued to flip through the paper and saw Lu Xiangsheng's pleading paper.

As an Emperor, the easiest way to deal with paper was to pretend you didn't see it. There was a history to it.

The first was to suggest that Chuanshan join forces to send out a total of ninety-three items. They don't ask for a breath of relief, they only ask for blood, not to let all the toast in the Qiangan Tribe recover, and even more so, they must not allow them to complete the internal affairs. At the same time, we will train the army's combat ability in the plateau and complete the map drawing.

DuoGan army and goverment office, Wus Concealed army and goverment office, the people hiding in the earth, the people hiding in the earth, all kinds of Shakyamuni powers, were in complete chaos. From Zhu Hongzhao's point of view, it was a good time to push back the wolves and devour the tigers.

The second matter was to investigate Ning Xia's responsibility. The Taoxi Region would incorporate into Ning Xia, but Ning Xia would not save them even if they were to suffer a disaster, hence they had to be punished. How vicious was Ning Xia? If the officials did not provide assistance, they had even ordered the military and political affairs to be sealed, and the merchants affiliated to the royal family were not allowed to sell food to the Taoxi!

The Steward Division couldn't understand what Ning Xia was doing this for? Zhu Hongzhao also couldn't understand, wasn't it just trying to force the Taoxi to the opposite direction? Now that the other party has no objections, are you guys blind?

The third matter was still the war. He wanted to transfer the troops that came with the southern patrol to Guangxi to help calm down the chaos in Hu Fu Long's Yin Army.

Zhu Hongzhao could decide on appointments as long as he felt that it was appropriate. Personnel appointments with big benefits or big drawbacks had always been the most ridiculous thing to do. Everyone fought over them, making mistakes.

Self-directed, it can increase efficiency extremely high. In any case, moving the troops back to put an end to the rebellion was no different from beating a child.

Carrying a red pen, he wrote another letter of appointment, appointing Qin Liangyu's other nephew, Qin Goongming, brother of Qin Yiming, to lead the former Barton Legion in the south of Guangxi.

The Batong Corps has been cancelled and dispersed in Shandong Province. With the backbone of his army, it would not be difficult to rebuild a Barton army.

If Qin Liangyu's Senior General wanted to sit still and the Qin Family brothers and Ma Xianglin wanted to advance, then the Barton army would have to collapse. Otherwise, no one would be able to sleep.

In order to increase Prince Liao's influence, he used Prince Liao as the commander-in-chief, added him as the general, gave him the title of the general, gave him the position of the Senior General, and ordered Chuan Shan to send over all his troops.

This matter was only suitable for Prince Liao, the two provinces had joined forces, was it to listen to the Sichuan Governor Wang Sanshan or the Western Senior General Yang Zhaoji? In terms of authority, it was Yang Zhaoji's, but he didn't want Yang Zhaoji to reach into the Sichuan Army system.

Wang Sanshan couldn't do it either. It was one thing for Chuanshan to join forces and send troops. If Chuanshan joined forces, it would become another problem. Wang Sanshan had a good relationship with the Shaanxi Governor Cai Fa 1, so he had to put an end to this kind of thing.

With the birth of his eldest son, many people suggested calling Prince Liao back to Beijing or Shenyang. How could he have foolishly put Prince Liao in a cage? Only with Prince Liao's power in the outside world could he be safe. The two brothers could only back each other up. The people below them were unreliable.

After settling some small matters, Zhu Hongzhao left the Hall of Martial Valor and wrote the edict with the Steward Division to copy it and deliver it to Xuan Da.

Yuan Shu, Lu Xiangsheng, Yu Huang and Cao Huachun jointly copied the imperial edict from the case. Lu Xiangsheng was a little disappointed that his paper emperor had not dealt with it. If he didn't punish them this morning, then there wouldn't be a chance. The appointment notice for the Prime Minister's Office would probably be ready by now.

When the morning drum sounded, Zhou Yanru, who hadn't slept for an entire night, came to Imperial Library and urged them to return home. He took away Lu Guobin's official body early, as well as Wu Tie's mother Lee's fourth grade title, public uniform, ordinary uniform, and Lee's bestowal uniform, and brought them away with him.

Ordinary middle official attire, the imperial court only issue public uniforms, shaped like those of the Song dynasty, with no complement." Those who have nourishment are often dressed in regular clothing, and those below the Zhixian County are all prepared by themselves.

Ordinary Kaixian 9 sets of a common uniform, after all, the public service is the day, look forward to the day of the dynasty wearing. However, the former Yuanxin County was a capital official, so naturally, they had to be equipped with a set of public uniforms.

Unlike the foreign officials of the seventh rank, the public uniforms in the prefecture were usually borrowed from the prefecture library when it came time for the court to go to court on the next day.

Currently, Zhou Yanru was lying down in the cabin, trying to catch up on his sleep.

After Steward Division was done, other than those who were on duty, the other two classes had also dispersed and went to the Imperial City's library to read, or to transcribe books to be used as inheritance for their families.

Except for a few cases where the book had been completely destroyed, there were no other prohibited books. At most, they were opposed to publication, and no one was forbidden to transcribe them in private. Thus, the Imperial City had always accumulated a lot of solitaries within the books, and these were all very precious items.

Imperial Library had already done what he needed to do a long time ago, so there wasn't much work to do now. Sun Chuantinng, who was observing the mess that was accumulated in the late stage of Wan Li Dynasty, was also not used to it.

When he was in Nanjing, the matter of South Zhili had given him a headache. He had gone into too much detail on this matter, unlike the fact that the Prime Minister's Office had already set up a set of rules and regulations. The things delivered below would be handled according to principles, and those that could not be dealt with would be sent up to be dealt with.

After coming out of the Imperial Library, Sun Chuantinng went home to change into casual clothes. The rainfall had lessened, and there were still black clouds from time to time. It was possible that there would be even more rain.

Everywhere in the Yangtze River Basin, troops of Tang Dynasty rode in and out of the river. The river water had risen a foot, so it could be seen that there had been a heavy rain upstream. Right now, they had to be on guard against even more rain.

It wasn't like the Yangtze River had never flooded the Nanjing City Wall before.

On the Yangtze River today, the fleet was still moving between the north and south, transporting the soldiers, supplies and weapons from the 1st ship to the Nanjing City.

On both sides of the road were markets, and in the middle of the road, there were squads of soldiers entering the city. Under the arrangements set up by Hu Ben Lang, who carried the banner of his residence, it was packed towards the planned camp area, filling up one camp after another.

The greatest difficulty for the army was the transportation of goods, not just food. One spear and two brace were for one set, five sets for one pack, two packs for one pack, one horse for one pack, carrying a fixed amount, how much for each battalion.

This was the power of rail transport, which had solved the problem of transferring large quantities of military goods into and out of the country. After all, the army was going to war, and everything had to be brought together. The more they brought along, the fewer loopholes they would have to deal with. He was only carrying a spear and food to war. This was not an army, but a bandit.

Ge Lin was wearing a suit of paper armor that he had just received from Nanjing's armory. The paper armor was well-shaped, with two shoulders covered by the shoulders of a tiger, a huge iron-forged water buffalo belt at his waist, and two curved horns that protruded outwards with wide open jaws. Compared to the full body protection of the cotton armor, this set of clothes only covered half of the body under the paper armor and covered the front only up to the knees.

The surface of the armor was painted black and heavy. It felt a bit hard and smooth to the touch. There were also intersecting nail lines on it. On the surface of the armor, there were a bunch of vertical lozenges that looked like fish scales.

In a military camp to the west of North City, the southern army had already filled up the military camp left behind at the beginning of the dynasty. Here, a new military camp was being set up, and in the wind and drizzling rain, the soldiers were generally dressed in their boxers.

Smoke was already billowing out of the military camp that had been set up first.

Ge Lin dismounted and spoke in the official language of Nanjing, But what about General Qin Goongming?

A guard officer stepped forward and greeted him with clasped hands, That's right, is there any official business with an officer?

Ge Lin was wearing a black cloak with a tiger's head and a big red bottom. Originally, Ge Lin wanted to place two red flags on his back, but he felt awkward and hung the red flags on his harness.

Yes, I am Huban Lang, Ge Lin. I am here on orders from the General's Estate.

As Ge Lin said this, he took out a bamboo tube from the rattan box. The silk-decorated bamboo tube was simple in color and looked heavy.

The entire camp had to speed up their pace, and had to allocate some men to set up the tent. The military reserve camp could only be temporarily put aside for now, and the military order must be put on display, they couldn't let others read out the military order in the rain.

Exhibition was a must, it represented face, announcing the order was a solemn ceremony, how could it be child's play?

It's not easy to find General Qin. I just ran over from the pier.

He was not afraid of wasting time. After finishing this errand, there were still new ones to be had. It was not a bad thing to stay here for a while to familiarize himself with Qin Goongming.

After replacing the formal armor, Qin Goongming was 5 feet 6 inches tall, 3 inches lower than his older brother Qin Yiming. However, he was also a very experienced person in the crowd, as his Qin Family's genes were this strong.

He returned Ge Lin's military registration back to him and smiled: The Military Division has given me face, I'll have to cross the river first. May I ask what kind of military order it is?

Their 1st Battalion did not enter the 6th Legion, and after they gathered their manpower to supplement it, even though they were all old soldier and fellow villagers, Qin Goongming was afraid that they would immediately give out a combat mission. Right now, everyone was paying attention to the situation. They were dispatched to different places in Jiangnan according to the plan, and the most obvious objective of the battle in the south was the war in Guangxi.

Everyone wanted to go. Qin Goongming also wanted to go, because he was worried that there would be a problem with the training of the headquarters.

The military merits were more important, but now, everyone was afraid of losing. A small defeat, with all their achievements being so popular, was an extremely eye-catching and basically unheard-of achievement. After all, his 1st Battalion could be considered to have suffered a huge loss of strength, as almost half of the old soldier had received the 6th Legion.

Putting away the military registration, Ge Lin said: monarchal farther ordered General Qin to go to Guangxi to assist the grand coordinator Wang De Zun to fight his rebellion. At this point, I congratulate General Qin on his valiant service and on his triumphant return.

He had only sent the order that Qin Goongming would be required to negotiate with the General's Estate regarding the plan to deploy the troops.

Whatever weapons they brought with them in Guangxi were to be discussed. It was also a question of whether they should change their equipment in Nanjing. As for secrecy? Aren't you talking nonsense telling military secrets to the nephew of the Senior General?

CHAPTER 505 - GRATITUDE ISSUES

A family dinner on July 2nd ended in a very dull way. Zhu Hongzhao and Sun Chuantinng did not have a common topic, so after they finished their business, they talked about their family matters and then left.

The palace was so thick that it gave groups of eunuchs a hug. Looking at the happy Zhang family, his son and daughters, Sun Chuantinng could only sigh in his heart. He couldn't figure out what the emperor was trying to do.

With a smile on his face, he greeted the passing civil and military official.

With Palace of Celestial Purity in hand, Zhu Hongzhao resisted the temptation and didn't drink anymore. He carried a bowl of tea up to the second floor as he watched Sun Chuantinng's family walk further and further away.

He couldn't see through the original teacher either, he didn't know how he could have changed so fast. He wasn't considerate at all. He wasn't thinking for him like he was in the past. He was only thinking about the stability of the world.

The Prime Minister's Estate, the General's Estate, and the Law Department were all in high spirits. They all believed that the change of the system in the middle of Ming Dynasty could truly last for generations.

Zhu Hongzhao didn't think so. He had a serious case of persecution and was very suspicious. He was always pessimistic about everything.

Since the start of the selection, officials and court officials had not been of the same mind. The Gentlemen Family, who had risen up through the ranks of officials, only relied on the official post s, they only cared about them, they did not care who gave them the official post!

He was very clear about the history of the war in Nanming. In short, if one did not eat enough Ming Army, one would be unable to wear warm clothes, and if one died in battle without a pension, they would not be able to advance. All of them would be rewarded and punished. With a shake of his body, the former Ming Army changed into the Green Battalion. Their old opponents wore Ming Army Battle Robe and fought against the former Ming Army for the sake of national justice.

The army was forced, living conditions, treatment, and all sorts of injustice were forced upon it, and this was understandable.

Why did the economically powerful Gangnam Gentlemen Group kneel so straightforwardly?

It was very simple. All of their achievements originated from their official positions, but official post s were things that they had passed. They had earned from the millions of people in the examination.

Da Ming currently has 40 thousand scholar failed in the imperial examinations s, 50 thousand Elementary Scholars, and 40 thousand people in the provincial graduate. On average, they only get 100 Elementary Scholars every year. None of these achievements had fallen from the sky, they were the ones who had worked hard to obtain them.

They would not be grateful to the imperial examination system. The time of the imperial examination system had passed, and when the imperial examination system first came out, they had been grateful. In their gratitude, Big Sui collapsed.

Now that they were used to it, they would attribute their success to themselves, their teacher, and chief examiner during the exam, rather than the imperial court, which would ignore the rules of the imperial examinations and take it for granted that this was something that the imperial court should do!

Not only did the Gangnam Royals kneel down straightforwardly towards the Qing army, even the kinsman of the emperor with immortal feats had lost his heart of gratitude.

At this moment, even the Emperor, Zhu Hongzhao, was waiting for an opportunity because he was furious. He was very clear that these people were afraid of him and hated him. They wished that he would die soon!

It was the Humble Class Scholars who had drained the last drop of their blood for the Great Brilliance!

The Imperial examinations were ultimately a test of a person's ability.

However, Zhu Hongzhao knew that his teacher's heart had changed, he had lost his sense of smell, and he also thought that the world was stable. He was prepared to set up his qualifications, and develop his Sun Family to become a new family.

He did not object to such thoughts in the court. The territory he had set aside was so large that if you want to ascend to the throne, if you want your family to live forever, then follow me and kill those disloyal people. Planned Area 9 is too big to stretch your hand out. The Feudal Lords Corporation could have it, but it could not suppress the royal family, much less threaten the royal family.

It was a pity that Shi Jixie was too old. Otherwise, he would be the next head of the Residence of Prime Minister.

Sun Chuantinng could only put the matter aside. Right now, he was worried about the Gentleman's heart of gratitude. No matter how many times he killed, it would only be because he was afraid of Sun Chuantinng. He would not have any thoughts of gratitude.

This is a big problem. Since you guys are not tactful, then let's switch to another batch.

In the imperial examinations the following year, he was prepared to receive a batch of Humble Class teachers, and thus, would give a huge slap to the gentry and the Wealthy Class. Look at the performance before making a decision.

If one's level is not high enough, then let's have another level. Let's slowly see who can endure it!

I want to talk to Qian Qianyi about summoning him to the palace. And write it down and call on Wen Tiren tomorrow, Wen Zhenmeng the next day, Zhou Yanru the next day.

These officials were all well-groomed, so the most suitable thing for them was to be examiners. They would first figure out the way and whoever could answer his questions would be the chief examiner of the year after.

Cao Huachun at the side cupped his hands: master, Zhou Yanru went to work at Yixing.

Then hurry him up, his heart is always anxious, but his legs are naturally quick.

Zhu Hongzhao frowned and turned his head to look at Cao Huachun, retracting his gaze.

The Imperial City of Nanjing was too small, it had rained since the day he arrived. Zhu Hongzhao's mood was easily affected by the weather, which was the only thing he could not control.

By opening up a path for the real Humble Class Scholars, they were going against the majority of the existing profits. Everyone in the Prime Minister's Estate had disciples. Of all the officials, who didn't have disciples?

But this slap had to be made, loud enough to let the examiners know where they got their exam results from. If this matter did not start, he had to arrange for it to start!

But such a big thing was equivalent to betraying the entire intellectual circles, who would dare to charge in for him?

Gu Bingqian was a killing machine. Yu Huang was the one who took the exam, and he was the one who took the main course, so this old man could definitely do it with his sleeves rolled up.

In the gentle breeze and drizzling rain, Black Tortoise Lake pavilion.

Zhu Hongzhao was wrapped in a mink fur coat and a big hat. He looked at the calm and green lake, and his eyes were filled with ripples. He sniffed the cold air, and his eyes were emotionless and cold.

Anyone who was alone would feel the same way.

It was the first time Qian Qianyi had called the Emperor.

He didn't dare to let Cao
