The military ship that carried the news of the victory went down the river, and even if it did not reach the speed of a thousand miles of Gangneung in one day, it was at least several times faster than when it was going upstream. In the rainy day, the ship sailed into Lin'an and brought the good news of the recovery of Anqing to Lin'an.

At this time, Taiwei Zhao was in the Privy Council to Li Tingzhi, the deputy privy envoy. Zhao Jiaren has respect for Li Tingzhi himself, and anyone who can persist in fighting in times of crisis in China should be respected. But respect does not mean that Li Tingzhi can do whatever he wants. Since this person was not suitable to be a privy deputy, Zhao Jiaren bluntly talked to Li Tingzhi about his ideals for the future Great Song Dynasty.

"Deputy Envoy Li, I think the age of our Great Song Dynasty official Zhishi should be 60 years old. I don't know what you think. ”

Li Tingzhi was quite surprised after hearing this, he is 56 years old this year, and according to Taiwei Zhao, it is time to pay tribute immediately. However, Taiwei Zhao is now in power, and Li Tingzhi feels that he should listen more to what Zhao Jiaren means. So Li Tingzhi asked: "I don't know what Taiwei's philosophy is." Isn't Da Song Zhishi 70 years old? ”

"That's an unspoken rule, not a real rule. I think so, although the grinding survey is once every three years, but everyone does not have a term of office, so naturally there is no way to have a careful regulation of Zhishi. I feel like there needs to be a term now. The same is true for prime ministers, for example, for a term of three years or a term of five years. Zhao Jiaren took out the idea of tenure and retirement.

Our Great Song Dynasty is a very civilized country, although the system of forcibly operating an industrial country with the essence of an agricultural country has caused too many problems in the Great Song Dynasty, but the idea of an industrial country is also easier to understand in the Great Song Dynasty. At least Li Tingzhi did not instinctively oppose this idea, and what he couldn't understand now was what Zhao Taiwei meant by putting forward this idea.

"I want to change the bureaucracy." Zhao Jiaren finally said his thoughts.

As soon as these words came out, Li Tingzhi immediately closed his mouth. The reform of the official system has always been the power of the emperor, and Li Tingzhi does not want to get involved in this matter. Because Taiwei Zhao is now powerful, those who want to stand in his way will probably not end well.

Zhao Jiaren didn't say much about the official system, he just asked: "Deputy Envoy Li, I want you to be the prefect of Siam Province." ”

“…… Tai Lieutenant, even if there were many traitors in the Privy Council during my tenure, I would not be sent to Siam. Li Tingzhi's voice trembled a little.

Zhao Jiaren waved his hand, "So many people are fine in Siam, why would you have an accident." I don't know how to learn from Sima Qian and assign officials. I myself have been to Cochin and Champa to fight, and Siam is next to Champa. I've been the governor of Guangzhou for several years, aren't I still alive? ”

Zhao Jiaren said this, and Li Tingzhi also felt that there was no reason to refute. As Zhao Jiaren said, he himself has been an official in the so-called miasma for several years. It's not just sitting in the mansion and enjoying the blessings, but running around in the south. However, our Song Dynasty officials have a very low opinion of going to the south, not based on science, but on prejudice. So Li Tingzhi said: "Taiwei, even Jiangxi is better than Siam." ”

"Jiangxi is also fine. Just wait, it will take some time to recover Jiangxi. Zhao Jiaren said with a smile. Since Li Tingzhi is so knowledgeable, Zhao Jiaren has no intention of letting Li Tingzhi go to Siam Mansion to be the prefect.

The next day, Zhao Jiaren announced Li Tingzhi's order to be an official on Jiangnan West Road. At this time, Longxing Mansion (Nanchang) had not yet recovered, so Li Tingzhi was in Lin'an to be the governor of Longxing Mansion first.

Then Taiwei Zhao received the news of Anqing's recovery. After publishing the news in the Da Song Daily and writing a signed article titled "The End of the Song Dynasty Has Begun," Taiwei Zhao continued his military reform, the first step of which was the promulgation of the Military Service Law.

The Military Service Law stipulates that all citizens between the ages of 18 and 24 in the Great Song Dynasty are obliged to serve in the military, and the state can conscript the citizens of the Great Song Dynasty into the army in accordance with the Military Service Law. The term of military service is three years, and it is compulsory service. If they are willing to continue to serve in the army after the end of the compulsory service period, they will be transferred to volunteer service. Officers are selected from military schools, and the source of military cadets is compulsory service to apply for military schools, or to apply for military schools after graduating from high school.

Liu Pet got out of class and immediately packed his schoolbag and left the classroom. When he continued to look for Ding Fei five days ago, he was suddenly taken away after being put on a black hood. When the hood was taken off, he panicked and saw Ding Fei sitting at the table in the room.

"Your name is Liu Pet, right?" Ding Fei asked.

"Yes. This brother, I've been looking for you! Liu Pet panicked and said excitedly.

Of course, Ding Fei knew that Liu Pet was looking for him. Originally, he thought that this young man saw the arrest of the anti-rape committee, and wanted to join on a whim, just hang him for a while. Unexpectedly, Liu Pet was still unrelenting, and every time after school, he began to look at it street by street, and when he saw someone wearing a flying fish suit, he went up to ask.

"Don't look for us in the future." Ding Fei persuaded.

"Why?" Liu Pet was very incomprehensible.

"Because we don't recruit people if you want to come. First, you have to have a guarantor. For a job like ours that arrests people, no one dares to use you. What to do if something happens. "Ding Fei doesn't hate Liu Pet, so he is very attentive.

"My dad is a jinshi. If he has been an official, can't he vouch for it? Liu Pet hurriedly asked.

Ding Fei wanted to say that it was because your father had been an official and became an irresolute element, so he couldn't be a guarantor. But these words are too cruel, and they once caused a family tragedy, a child really wanted to join the anti-rape committee, and couldn't help but have a conflict with the unqualified father, and was killed by the father. Therefore, the work of the Anti-Adultery Committee has been added to the article that such issues are not allowed to be raised directly.

"Your father is not qualified to be a guarantor." Ding Fei answered with a standard answer. If the child is resistant to the anti-rape committee in order to protect his father, he can easily get rid of a lot of trouble.

Then Ding Fei listened to Liu Pet and said very seriously: "Brother, people say that the loss outside the embankment is made up for the loss inside the embankment, can I make up for this piece under other conditions." ”

Yesterday, Liu Pet, who was sent away by Ding Fei, received a letter from Ding Fei, asking Liu Pet to come to him after school. Liu Chongxing rushed to follow the address. After waiting outside the door for a while, he was finally brought to Ding Fei. When the person with Liu Pet saw Ding Fei, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Ding Fei, your young man is in a hurry when he looks at it." ”

Hearing this, Liu Pet was overjoyed. It seems that he has a good chance of being recruited.

Ding Fei asked Liu Pet to sit down, and then handed a booklet to Liu Pet, "Read it carefully, and then talk to me when you're done." ”

Liu Pet took it and took a look, the cover of the booklet had three words written on it, "Military Service Law", and below it was 'Published by the Privy Council of the Great Song Dynasty'. He was able to read something from the Privy Council, and Liu Chong felt flattered when he boarded it. So the boy was reading the Military Service Law, and Ding Fei was reading the document. It was quiet for a moment.

Not long after, Liu Pet raised his head and said, "Brother, I'm done reading." ”

"If you want to find a guarantor, you probably can't, but we also have rules here, if you have been a soldier in this situation, you can ask for it." Ding Fei raised his head and replied.

"This ......" Liu Chong was speechless for a while, being a soldier was too far away for him.

"This is the latest treatment of being a soldier, you can read it." Ding Fei gave Liu Pet another document.

Liu Pet took it and took a look, the red-headed document, the issuing unit is also the Privy Council. It stipulates that all military personnel who are in military service will have their families exempt from taxes during their military service. After military service, the state arranges work, and if you take various exams, there is also a discount for deducting points.

"Brother, it takes three years to be a soldier. I can't wait. Liu Pet said hesitantly.

Ding Fei smiled: "Ha! If you can work with us, it's for the rest of your life. Three years is nothing. In addition, did you see, the military service period is considered work experience, and if you can be assigned to us, even if you have been working here for three years. Don't suffer. ”

finally had such a result, but Liu Pet found that the process was not what he imagined. After that, he could only take the two things that Ding Fei gave him and returned home. As the eldest son, Liu Pet is valued by his father like the other eldest sons. However, this kind of weight is more manifested in being criticized, blamed, and demanded more. So on the third day, Liu Pet, who couldn't make a decision, took two things to show his father Liu Jingwen.

When Liu Jingwen saw the source of the document, his breathing became a little heavier. But that didn't make the former official lose his temper, and he continued to read the document word by word. After reading it, Liu Jingwen asked, "What's going on." ”

Liu Pet told his father that he wanted to be a soldier. When he was talking, Liu Pet was already very nervous, and after he finished speaking, he became even more nervous. Then Liu Jingwen spoke, "If what people give you is not nonsense, I think you should follow your ideas and do it." ”

Looking at his son's surprised and happy expression, Liu Jingwen sighed in his heart. After the general surrender of the Lin'an court, the authority of scholars like Liu Jingwen plummeted. Since these people were officials in the court of the first emperor, they could not prevent the first emperor from surrendering, and it was inevitable that they would be despised by others. More importantly, they went for the opportunity to continue as officials.

After Zhao Taiwei took office, he carried out a comprehensive reform of the subject examination. To put it simply, the imperial examination will still follow the previous model, but the system will be transformed into the previous school examination. The official system of the Great Song Dynasty is also changing, and Zhao Taiwei has completely abolished the previous minor officials, and those who are admitted to the system will become administrative officers. Clerks also have the opportunity to become Administrative Officers.

For example, this time, the anti-rape committee that arrested people also surfaced and showed it in front of everyone. According to the previous system, this is the Imperial City Division, which is under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. But after the transformation, it became a unit of the Great Song Dynasty, which should have been under the management of the official family, but is now managed by Zhao Taiwei.

With the character of the eldest son, Liu Jingwen has given up his fantasy of taking the imperial examination with his own experience, and the pressure of life in the family is not enough to support his three children who are studying to take the imperial examination. With the current military system, Liu Jingwen feels that the status of soldiers is undergoing earth-shaking changes. Since there was still a way to go, Liu Jingwen decided to follow the movements of the imperial court and take another step.

"As long as you don't regret it, there's nothing wrong with being a soldier." Liu Jingwen made a suggestion as a father.
