On Chinese New Year's Eve, outside Xuchang City, in the Shao Mansion, a banquet was about to end.

Most of the participants were young people under the age of weak crowns, and more precisely, most of them were fledgling student soldiers between the ages of 15 and 20.

Some of the "seniors" who have graduated for many years also participated, and everyone sat together, and at first they were more restrained, but after drinking too much, the distance immediately narrowed.

Jin Zheng drank a lot, and after he became interested, he directly took off his clothes, pointed to the scars on his body, and said with a big tongue: "This scar, if it is crooked, I will die, and I don't know who stabbed it." This one should have been wounded in the battle of Shamadi, and the nail leaf fell off, and someone shot an arrow. Uh-"

Jin Zheng hiccuped and scolded: "I don't know which grandson shot him with an arrow, he didn't feel pain at the time, and after the battle, he found that the pain was dying." ”

Everyone laughed, and after laughing, they looked at Kim Zheng with admiration.

"Jin San, as soon as Master Shao leaves, you will go crazy, and you will die if you don't say a few words!" Lu Rong said with an unhappy face.

"Land black dog, what are you barking at?" Kim Jong slapped the case and said angrily.

Lu Rong's forehead was bruised, and he glared angrily.

As the same batch of student soldiers, and they are all from the East China Sea, Lu Rong was injured by Shi Le's generals in the Battle of Dongwuyang, and his good future was ruined.

Jin San drank too much, but he was also a violent temper, so he went back directly, letting Lu Rong break the defense directly.

Now no one dares to call him "Lu Hei Dog", but Jin San shouted in front of all the juniors, which is really unbearable.

However, after a year of grinding in the officialdom, he is no longer the young chick he was at the beginning, and after suppressing his anger, he said in a good time: "Jin San, I heard that when you were fighting for the position of Zuo Ying'er, you and Wang Que were ......."

"Bang!" Jin San Huoran got up, his fierce light was revealed, and he was just about to step forward to teach Lu Rong a lesson, when he was suddenly kicked by someone in the crook of his leg.

Jin San was furious, turned around, and was about to make a move, but immediately coaxed.

Shao Xun came back from the toilet and changed his clothes, and when he saw Jin San playing tricks, he was annoyed on the spot, so he slapped him directly in the ear and neck, and said, "Go back to your seat." ”

"No." Jin San smiled, his anger had completely disappeared, and he sat back down.

"You guys!" Shao Xun smiled bitterly and said: "In the past, when Pan Yuan was in the past, I pulled you up one by one, taught you skills and knowledge, and didn't let you go in the nest. ”

Jin San bowed his head in shame.

Lu Rong's face changed for a moment, and he got up and said: "Master Shao's teachings, the students remember in their hearts, today is my mistake." ”

Shao Xun looked at Kim Jong again.

Jin Zheng secretly scolded Lu Heigou, got up and said, "Today I am drunk and making trouble, and I hope that Master Shao will punish him." ”

Shao Xun looked at Kim Zheng and did not speak.

Kim Jong was a little unnatural and didn't know what the problem was.

Shao Xun sighed and said, "You sit down, just listen." ”

Kim sat down in fear.

Today's gathering with students, Shao Xun drank a lot of wine, and at this time, he was drunk, and he was not so cautious when he spoke: "Do you know what are the ways to be an official?" ”

Everyone stopped and looked at each other.

Shao Xun didn't wait for them to reply, and said to himself: "There are about six or seven paths, but none of them are based on military merits. Besides, being an official also depends on appearance, demeanor, family rank, etc., which is even more difficult. ”

"The Silver Spear Army went into battle to fight and made great achievements. I tried everything I could to move and work hard in many ways, but I could only let a small number of people become officials, and they were all petty officials, is it easy? ”

"Besides, there are not so many official positions reserved for you in many cases. Have you ever planted turnips? A turnip is a pit, and a ministry officer is also a pit. ”

"There are tens of thousands of officials in the world, and most of them are ministers. Even scholars may not be able to wait for a real shortage right away, let alone you. ”

"If you want to become an official, it is very difficult, or even impossible."

"Sad? Why do some people go out to play all day long, but they are prosperous? ”

"Indignant? Why do some people talk about metaphysics all day long, drink and have fun, but rise step by step? ”

"Don't you know that you can't go on like this? Why do you want to do everything you can to win over and be gentle? ”

"Because they have culture, they have land, they have tribes. Although many of their children are waste, there are also many children who are capable; They had a private army, and they were able to make instruments and raise horses; They know how to govern the place, not mess around. ”

"Tell me, can you do without them?"

After Shao Xun finished speaking, he picked up the wine bottle and drank it all.

The students sat silently and thought quietly.

Who doesn't want to be an official? Who doesn't want to be rich? Who doesn't want to glorify their ancestors?

Shao Shi pointed out the naked reality, which made everyone's chests swell with an unspeakable emotion.

If you kill the enemy on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions, you can only get some money and rewards.

This is still Shao Shi's love for soldiers like a son, never withholding rewards, and also established a Lutian system for lower-level officers, and the team leader level can receive 50 acres of Lutian income.

Since its establishment, more than 7,000 sergeants have been given bereavement pensions – 20 taels a year before, and 24 taels from next year.

Such favorable conditions made the silver spear sergeant, who had never lived a good life, burst out with strong combat effectiveness, breaking through the edge and repeatedly breaking the thief army.

But he now tells everyone that your room for advancement is extremely narrow, and you must compete with the scholars for a limited number of official positions, and the competition is very small.

This is still a troubled time, and some low-level people can rise up by virtue of their military exploits, but behind these lucky people are martial artists who hold dozens or even hundreds of times their military exploits, but have no way to be promoted.

If it is a peaceful and prosperous world, the chances of the people at the bottom will be even smaller, because the system does not protect your interests.

If you want to get ahead, there may be only one way: let the imperial court write clearly in black and white, and what kind of official you can be by virtue of what kind of military exploits.

"Got it?" After Shao Xun finished drinking, he looked at everyone and asked.

"Master Shao, the official system is the foundation of the imperial court, and it is not easy to change, right?" The shogunate engaged in the middle of the Lang Mao Bang asked.

Shao Xun didn't answer, just looked at everyone.

"Don't think about it." Lu Rong shook his head and said, "After being an official in Ye County for a year, I can understand that the imperial court is too dependent on the scholars, and it can't be easier." ”

After mixing in officialdom, you will have a deep understanding.

Lu Rong understood that his county was completely obtained by Shao Shi for him.

First of all, not everyone can be a student, he did, and since then he has the qualifications to be an official.

Secondly, it is unlikely that the vast majority of students will become officials only by virtue of their qualifications, and it is even more difficult for people who have no background to fall on the real shortage of county officials.

In the end, if Shao Shi no longer takes care of him, the county will be the end of his life, and it will be impossible to be promoted.

"The court refused, so he pressed the head of the Son of Heaven and made him willing." Jin Zheng had a violent temper and said directly: "If it really doesn't work, just establish a new court and a new official system." ”

"Will you govern the place?" Mao Bang turned his head, looked at Kim Zheng, and asked.

"Mao Er, who are you talking to?" Kim said angrily.

"I'm telling the truth." Mao Bang said: "Things in the world are extremely complicated, and you can't just do what you want. ”

"Mao Er, do you think that if you become a Zhonglang, you will have a family background?" Jin Zheng sneered: "Do scholars look up to you? I've heard that you have a lot of dealings with the children of the Yingchuan clan. Why, do you think you are also a scholar? ”

Mao Bang's face turned red, and he secretly regretted talking to Jin Zheng, a reckless man.

"Mao Er-" Jin Zheng didn't let him go, but was interrupted by Shao Xun.

"Enough!" Shao Xun patted the case a few times and said, "I didn't listen to what I just said." The Silver Spear Army has only 24 buildings and more than 14,000 generals so far, so it doesn't take the people of the world seriously? You know that you are fighting in the nest. If you continue to fight, it will be even more impossible for you to turn over. ”

"Master Shao, I'm ......," Kim Jong Nee said.

"Master Shao, I'll listen to you." Mao Bang arched his hand and said.

Shao Xun nodded, stood up, and said, "The affairs of the world are more expensive than the mean. It is definitely not possible for scholars to control the way of Shi to enter the door, but as Mao Er said, it is not okay to leave them alone. You don't have to be stubborn, in the past ten years, the Liangxian Martial Arts School has also provided me with four or five hundred students who have traveled the literary route, but most of them can only be shogunate officials, military Chinese books, public government officials, and county officials, and there are not many talented and qualified county officials. Moreover, they lack local connections, and are only suitable for officials in Chenjun, Nanton, Xincai, and Xiangcheng. If I go to Yingchuan, can things be done? I see a lot of difficulties. ”

In today's era of dock forts and manors, it is really difficult to be an official if there are no connections.

It is better where there are more homesteaders, which is the main reason why the student soldiers mentioned by Shao Xun can only go to the four counties of Xiangcheng to serve as officials.

In short, scholars have too many advantages as magistrates, and their knowledge is only part of it, and their connections and networks are perhaps more important, especially for old families who have been entrenched in the local area for more than 100 years.

Shao Xun now only relies on the four counties of Xiangcheng and more than 20 counties in Luonan to subdue the rest of the counties controlled by the scholars.

To put it mildly, if it weren't for the external pressure brought by Liu Han, he wouldn't have been able to make the scholars compromise so easily.

It is also that the Huns are too unparticular about their actions, coupled with the geographical division, so that after watching for a long time, the Henan Shi clan decided to "endure each other for the country" and cooperate with Shao Xun.

This is the essence of his separatist regime, and marrying Yu Wenjun as his wife is the fruit of this essence.

He has always been very aware of this.

The first-mover advantage of the scholars is too great, it has been accumulated for one or two hundred years, and since the troubled times, the number of self-cultivated farmers has been decreasing day by day, and the absolute strength of the scholars has indeed declined, but the relative strength has actually increased, showing a climbing upward trend.

If Shao Xun doesn't want to become the "alliance leader" pushed out by the Shi clan, he must find a way to expand the basic market.

It is good to be able to fight for more strength for the basic market, which means that his bargaining power has improved.

"Relying on my protégé to take care of the place for me, this road is too rough and may not be able to go." Shao Xun looked at the students and continued: "We still have to be civil and military, but we must first unite and not create internal suspicions and let outsiders see jokes." Bureaucratic matters, patience, etc. When the time is ripe, I will ask the imperial court to set up an officer, and the highest one is the 'Shangzhu State', which is more than the second-rank official. ”

"Silver spears, government soldiers, and meritorious people of the Tuntian army can all be promoted. Whether you have a position or not, first ask for a set of official bodies for you to come back, so that you will not be despised. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Mao Bang.

Mao Bang understood and asked, "Master Shao, what if the court doesn't agree?" ”

Shao Xun smiled but did not speak.

Students, you look at me, I look at you, and the atmosphere is a little delicate for a while.

The conflict of interests, you live or die, there is nothing more to say.

Master Shao is seeking benefits for everyone, fighting for benefits, and uniting around him to do it!

"Don't spread what you say today." After reading everyone's expressions, Shao Xun smiled and said, "Come, let's have a feast." ”
