"The people of the Song Dynasty were very cumbersome in the selection of civil servants. In the Wu Dynasty, the selection of officials was not simplified to that extent, right?"
After hearing Li Yanting's intention of hunting in winter, Fang Fang took a bite of the apple and smiled.
The northern border is far away from Guanzhong and far away from the cultural circle of the Central Plains. Various theories currently popular in Kyushu are all scattered around the Yellow River.
A martial artist cannot learn it and cannot learn it.
After all, the etiquette thing is in the north. When you can't eat or drink, you can't throw down your weapons and be lenient when facing wild beasts, right?
Therefore, after a large number of theories were introduced by the Wu Dynasty, they were all improved.
The reformers were all nobles of the older generation of the Wu Dynasty, and some of the pro-wen ideas changed fundamentally after being reformed.
Even if the imperial examination model is adopted, the selection system for warriors is the same.
For a student with no background who wants to become an official, the first step is not to go to school, but to practice Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer, and strive to be included in the roster of the military stables in each county before the age of sixteen, and then borrow flowers. The roster allows you to study with tax-free money, and keep up your skills at all times until you are called for a mission. Generally, after completing four to five rounds of recruiting, if your performance is not bad, you can get a recommendation from the Fubing Yamen, and you can enter the county school when you are around 20 years old. After three years, he became a regular soldier and served in the Third Battalion and Nine Guards.
From now on, it depends on the opportunity. Earn military merit during the war, and wait for the big exam without fighting. The only way out is to enter Taixue. If you can't get in, just wait. When your physical fitness fails, you will return to your hometown. Those who have meritorious service will be arranged to become officials. From then on, they will have no worries for three generations. , if you don’t have enough merit, you don’t need to pay any taxes for the rest of your life.
Relying on this model, the Wu Dynasty opened up the official selection mechanism and also cultivated a large number of loyal Wu family disciples among the people.
However, this model had problems since its forties. Due to financial constraints, the Wu Dynasty had to shrink its minions. There were fewer wars and fewer military achievements.
Fortunately, the military merit system was changed accordingly, otherwise a large number of people would have difficulty getting ahead.
The Li brothers are about to complete all the procedures and are just short of entering Taixue to study martial arts.
Wu Xun and Wu family are both the same kind of families. The only difference lies in whether the ancestors left behind titles. The former is the dream of the latter, and the latter is the past of the former.
Under the strict military merit system, the only difference between Wu Xun and the disciples of the Wu family is the stage of becoming a regular soldier. The former relies on the help of Meng Yin to get through directly, while the latter has to wait for a quota.
"Military merit is king!"
"As an official in the Wu Dynasty, you can't escape military glory no matter what. Sir, you have never entered the military camp, so you don't know about the three battalions and nine guards. The third battalion is just for face, and the nine guards are the real ones. But facing Gaoyang Guard and Guangchang Guard on the grassland , Yunzhong Guard, Shuofang Guard are the core, my Li family was born in Guangchang, our brothers are not weak, but it is a pity that when we were promoted to regular soldiers, Guangchang Guard still had no place for us!"
Li Yanting smiled bitterly, "Thirty years ago, military merit was greatly changed, and general merit was divided into three categories and three levels!"
"The first type of actual combat military merit can only be obtained on the battlefield. One song for one song, one for the academic test, three for the extra points, and five for the official position directly!"
"The second category is garrison military merit, one merit per year, three merits per turn!"
"The third category is bandit suppression and hunting. Bandit suppression is based on head count, one head is one mark, three counts is one merit. Hunting is based on rounds, one round is one mark."
Warriors are eager for wealth, and their pursuit of military success is fanatical.
"I see. I didn't expect there to be so many things here."
At this point, Fang Fang finally understood why the Li brothers were so interested in the summons, because it was a free achievement and the only loophole in the military merit system.
Facing Equation's sudden realization, Li Yannian added again, "Besides the unearned military exploits, hunting has another benefit, and that is making a fortune!"
"Get rich? Fur or mountain goods?" The equation is best to be slightly drawn.
He knew that Wu Ren was poor, but he never thought that Wu Ren could be so poor that he wanted to calculate these things.
"Sir, you have money, but not everyone has money. The government will not care about you if you go a hundred miles into the mountain. If you go beyond that, you have to take care of it. This is the inspection of each station within the territory!"
Equation looked puzzled, "What's there to check?"
"Mountain fire!"
"The northern border is boring, and mountain fires are prone to occur in summer and autumn. Sir, you may have never encountered it. Compared with the snow disaster that covers everything, mountain fires are the real terror. If you don't fight them, they will burn until early summer, and the smoke will cover the sky. , people can survive, but the crops cannot survive, and it wastes people and money, so the hunters can only go a hundred miles away. If they go beyond that, they are lucky if they are not caught. If they are caught, they will be exiled. Beyond a hundred miles, they can only go in after the winter break and heavy snow cover!"
"The mountain goods and furs accumulated this year may be just a few days' income for you, sir, but for the people below, this may be a whole year's harvest!"
"The third level of a regular soldier, eight taels per year of a strongman, twelve ranks of a sergeant, and eighteen ranks of a captain!"
After speaking, Li Yanting stopped talking.
After these few days of contact, he really found many contradictions in the equation.
He obviously has absolute insight into affairs, but he lacks experience in life.
In terms of money, Equation is very generous, has an indescribable sensitivity to the market, and is also concerned about prices, but he really doesn't seem to understand some common sense news.
The combination of these things makes people feel very awkward and weird.
Fang Fang tapped his deputy slightly with his fingers, "That's it!"
Winter hunting!
Hunting hungry beasts is on the surface, but secretly it is also to prevent fire.
The Taihang Mountains in Kyushu are completely different from the Taihang Mountains in the previous life. They run nearly ten thousand miles from north to south and split the Wu Dynasty's territory in half. The towering mountains also completely changed the geography and climate of the Wu Dynasty.
It can be said that there is no mountain range in scale, and the height of the peak is far higher than that of the Taihang Mountains in previous generations. Tai'an City is located in an area similar to Hebei. The winter is not that long, and the snowfall is not as heavy.
In order to prepare for disasters in the mountains, the Wu Dynasty, with its productivity and material resources, could not be too prepared.
Twenty-one military merit seems to be an omission under the military merit system, but this military merit is really not worth mentioning when it comes to preventing wildfires.
There were smart people in the Wu Dynasty, but it was a pity that even the smartest people were still in vain in the face of the limitations of the times.
…
"Have the arrangements been made?"
As her depression gradually subsided and her rationality returned, the Empress felt irritated when she thought of her impulsive actions yesterday!
"It has been arranged. In addition to Di Tingwei, the eighteen people mobilized also have five third-class sword-wielding palaces. I also informed Xiaohu that the garrison will be near the Emerald Lake!"
A woman's anger comes and goes even faster. Finally, when there is a chance, Lao Pu moves faster.
It’s a fact!
It is not difficult to overthrow the empress, as long as all the procedures are done, and the equation is not returned, it will be of no use to anyone.
Hearing this, the empress' face froze. She clenched and unclenched her hands, unclenched and clenched them again, and finally turned into a palm and slapped it on the table, "Old thing, the last time!"
Bang!
Lao Pu knelt down and said, "I thank you, Your Majesty!"
He understands the empress who has been with him since he was a child. Why doesn’t the empress understand Lao Pu?
