Chapter 340: A Week of Talents
Guo Wei reigned for five years, two more years than in history. No matter from any perspective, it was very good. He had a bumper harvest of food and had never lost his foreign battles.
It should be easy to take on such a country, but in fact, His Majesty the Emperor is not comfortable at all. It feels like buying a second-hand house. Even if the decoration is luxurious, you have to spend your effort to adjust and remove the mark of the previous owner.
What's more, this country is very simple. Chai Rong needs great achievements and needs to promote more ministers who belong to him and do things according to his wishes.
Fan Zhi, Wang Pu, Wei Renpu and others can no longer meet the needs of His Majesty the Emperor.
Zhao Pu proposed the twelve-character policy, and Chai Rong was shocked. He decided to come here in person and listen to Zhao Pu's ability. What exactly is it!
"Your Majesty, I think you will be satisfied."
"I hope so!"
Chai Rong said to Zhao Pu: "It was supposed to be a discussion, but in order to make your words happy, just stand and talk!"
Of course, Zhao Pu was willing to stand and sit with the emperor and champion Hou. He was suffering at all, but he didn't have that weight.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Pu finished speaking in very concise language about what he had said before. Chai Rong listened carefully, but there was no expression.
Zhao Pu was beating in his heart, thinking to himself, Your Majesty, you're just giving me a message, even if you nodded, let me know if I should continue talking! Unfortunately, Chai Rong was just a poker face.
Ye Hua had a smile on his face, the problem was that his smile had never changed!
Zhao Pu was under increasing pressure, but fortunately he was not an ordinary person. He barely calmed down and continued to talk, "Your Majesty, after doing this, the local garrisons will inevitably reduce their combat power and cannot guard the border. However, if the imperial guards in the court did not fight for a long time, they will wither and suffer many problems, and it will be difficult for them to take on great responsibilities. Looking at the past dynasties, when the founding of the country, there were still famous generals gathered, and strong soldiers were invincible. However, after a period of time, their combat power will decline, and this was the case with the prosperous Tang Dynasty. In order to maintain the combat power of the soldiers, I suggest that the military exercise be launched!"
"Martial Practice?" Chai Rong finally spit out two words. Seeing that the emperor was interested, Zhao Pu was excited.
"That's right, it's the Martial Arts! After the Martial Arts are launched, we can select generals and talents with our bows and horses, and enrich our army. In this way, the flowing water in the army will not rot and the door hinges will not rot, and we will definitely have a new look."
Chai Rong did not speak, but looked at Ye Hua.
"Mr. Zhao, just taking the archery and horse martial arts exam, all he chose was a brave man. How could he control the battle between men and horses?" Ye Hua asked.
This scene is very similar to a graduation thesis, with the tutor sitting and the students standing up to defend.
Of course, this specification is countless times higher than the defense, which not only determines the future of the students, but also determines the fate of the empire. Zhao Pu couldn't help but straighten his chest and cheer up!
"Then add the assessment of military books and combat strategies."
"If you want to take the military exam, what are the standards? Where can ordinary people go to study if they want to join the army? Do you need to set up schools and open the door to accept disciples like the imperial examination?"
"Of course!" Zhao Pu also thought, "The court has to allocate a sum of money every year to specifically support the use of martial arts."
"Just just having martial arts is not enough. If you teach a group of war-torn people on paper and cannot fight, what's the use?"
"Then let them go to war!" Zhao Pu said: "All martial arts students, after completing their studies, must go to the army to experience the training. After passing the exam, they will be awarded official positions by the court."
"Mr. Zhao, the selection of civil servants is mainly based on the imperial examinations. Should the selection of military generals also be based on the military examinations?"
"It's reasonable!"
"Are those generals from generation to generation? Will their descendants directly enter the army or pass the assessment?"
"It must pass the assessment!"
...
Chai Rong listened silently, Ye Hua and Zhao Pu asked questions and answers at once, and they were extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, dozens of questions were asked. Zhao Pu's forehead was already sweating. He did not think about some things. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough, otherwise he would be dumbfounded.
What about Ye Hua?
He was at ease. Obviously, the Marquis had already thought of this step, and Zhao Pu had to admire that the champion Hou was really not a false reputation!
The martial arts ceremony was established during the reign of Empress Wu Zetian, and has been followed by all generations and has indeed selected many talents.
However, compared with the Jinshi exam, the martial arts exams are intermittent and the selection is limited, and very few are famous. Many famous generals crawled out of the sword light and shadow, or passed on to the family.
This is not a reason why the martial arts are not powerful. It is really a different path for civil and military affairs, and it is not the same thing at all.
People say that it is not false to be poor, rich and rich.
Reading doesn’t require anything. You can study hard with a bowl of porridge or a book. If you practice martial arts like this, you will vomit blood and die within a few days.
Even in the future, this logic is still the same. What is the best choice for the poor? It is not poetry or the distance, but down-to-earth, honestly doing mathematics, physics and chemistry, and after learning, you will never be hungry.
I don’t want to learn these things, I want to cultivate my qualities, play the piano, play the violin, learn calligraphy, painting and dance... Sorry, ask how much these instruments cost, and how much does a class for famous teachers and masters? If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Without famous teachers and suitable tools, you can learn with a bunch of 200 or 25. It’s a waste of time and you can’t learn anything at all! With that skill, it’s better to let your child go out for a few laps and sweat!
Since the Tang Dynasty, there have been martial arts in all dynasties, but there is no martial arts. Therefore, those selected through the martial arts may not be able to be used before the army. Even if it is available, there are fathers and sons in the army, and several generations are generals, and people outside cannot get in at all, so they will not be reused.
Zhao Pu thought of starting a martial arts ceremony to make up for the lack of combat power, and also thought of opening a martial arts... But this alone is not enough to select qualified generals.
Ye Hua and him plan the future of martial arts between Q&A.
First of all, when entering martial arts, you must go through strict assessments, have certain cultural qualities, good physical conditions, and be smart and clever... In order to attract talents, you can get into martial arts, and your family will be given tax-free treatment, and the expenses during your study period will be borne by the court.
After three years of study, students will have to go to the military for one year internship, go through the tempering of war, and then return to martial arts studies. After graduation, they can choose to participate in the martial arts or go directly to the military for their work, and the starting point will be lower.
Moreover, Ye Hua believes that in order to break the inherent network of relations in the army, it is necessary to focus on promoting military students. In the next few decades, generals in the army must come from martial arts and martial arts.
At the same time, we must abolish the enshrine, even if the general fails the assessment after passing the examination, he will not be able to enter the army.
Only in this way can martial arts truly work.
Ye Hua was even more bold and suggested to Chai Rong, "Your Majesty, after the establishment of martial arts, you must ask famous generals to teach you, and a strict teacher will produce high disciples. I dared to suggest you, and I beg Your Majesty to be the chief of the mountain and become the master of all the students. After the martial arts students go out, they will definitely be grateful to the emperor for their kindness, loyalty to the country, and live up to the emperor's kindness."
There is definitely a conspiracy!
When Zhao Pu heard this, he almost called out!
Good, you champion, you are so amazing!
Ye Hua still stood on the side of the general, but he did not object to the handling of the vassal states because he could not object... However, Ye Hua forced himself to propose and create a military exercise.
With martial arts, we need martial arts. According to Ye Hua's design, the emperor served as the chief of martial arts mountain and gave so many preferential treatment. In the future, martial arts will not only compete with local schools for talents, but also above the school!
By then, the warrior will be the serious disciple of the emperor!
What am I doing here?
Zhao Pu was really panicked, "Marty, some warriors are arrogant and domineering, such as Gao Shaoji and others. If they become disciples of the emperor, wouldn't they be even more confident?"
Ye Hua smiled and said, "Otherwise, what Your Majesty is thinking is that the warrior is unruly and rebellious. But Your Majesty becomes the mountain chief, and he is the master of all the warriors. Moreover, in addition to teaching skills, martial arts must also be loyal. In the future, those who have learned martial arts must be loyal, and only Your Majesty will follow his order!"
Chai Rong's eyes lit up. If he could really retain the combat power of the warriors as Ye Hua said and make them honest and obedient, it would be the best of both worlds!
"Hahaha, Ye Qing is thoughtful. It is very rare for Zhao Aiqing to abandon the prejudices of civil and military affairs and to focus on the country. Now that our Great Zhou is full of talents and civil and military affairs, why worry about not being prosperous!"
Chai Rong smiled and said, "Ye Qing, it's time to prepare fine wine. We, the three of us, will drink it!"
When the drinks were put on, Chai Rong was indeed very excited and even danced a little.
"It is rare to eliminate the vassal states and establish martial arts as a plan. I have a good intention! Just yesterday, I also received a letter, and the financial management method mentioned above was refreshing to me."
Chai Rong looked at Ye Hua with a smile and joked: "Ye Qing, this person's ability is not inferior to you."
"Your Majesty said this, it is naturally extraordinary. I just don't know what suggestions did he make?"
"Hahaha, this person suggested that I clean up the land in temples in various places, and re-clear the land granted to Buddhist temples in the past dynasties. The excess part will be farmed for the people. The part belonging to the temple must be paid according to the people's land! This person told me that all over the world is the king's land! A monk was born on the land of the Great Zhou Dynasty and was definitely not a person who was outside the country. How could he not have to pay the land tax?"
"He also told me that the land occupied by temples in various places is more than ten million mu. After cleaning, it can not only increase the annual income, but also increase the number of people. If there are many people and fields, the fields will naturally become strong!" Chai Rong said a lot more after drinking. "If it weren't for this person's reminder, I've forgotten that there are so many temples, it shouldn't, it shouldn't! Also, Wang Pu, a Hanlin scholar, calculated the secrets of heaven for me and said that I could be the emperor for thirty years. That's true. I should use ten years to open up the world, support the people in ten years, and achieve peace in ten years!"
Chai Rong drank a glass of wine and said excitedly: "Ye Qing, Zhao Qing, Wang Qing, and Lu Qing, who offered financial management strategies, you are all the talented and beautiful jades of my Great Zhou. You can wipe out the world and unify the world with your assistance!"
