After the shit-stirring stick Hu Dan was no longer in the history museum, Shen Ji's life returned to calm. Except for occasional gatherings with his colleagues after the breakup, most of the time he would go home with Li Yunyao by detour to Xihua Gate. Sometimes they would stop to sell some toys to Kaidong and Liu Zichun when they saw a grocery seller yelling and selling.

With Shen Yilu around, the undercurrents surging in the court have not been able to involve Shen Ji for the time being, but she doesn't intend to hide under Shen Yilu's wings forever. Apart from participating in book repairs and writing calendars, she also wants to do something within her power .

When Boss Zhao summoned Shen Ji last time, he had already revealed his intention to recover Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, so he must reserve military talents next.

It’s just that military talents are not as easy to select and reserve as those scholars who are well-versed in poetry and books. Basically, the talents of generals come from the family of generals, such as Cao Bing’s sons, whose father is the highest-ranking military general in the Song Dynasty. Wu, but so far only the eldest son Cao Can has outstanding military talents.

Moreover, in order to prevent these generals from becoming self-respecting, it is impossible for Boss Zhao to let all the generals come from the family of generals, so the generals must be selected from poor families.

However, the humble family did not have many conditions for receiving martial arts education, and most of the middle and low-level generals selected outstanding ones from among the soldiers to be appointed as generals.Many soldiers are illiterate, so Boss Zhao is telling the generals to read more every day.

In the first year of Kaibao, Boss Zhao was preparing to conquer the Liu Han regime at that time. In order to find suitable military talents, he ordered the holding of martial arts.The talents recommended from various state capitals have been selected through layers of selection, and in the end no one can satisfy Boss Zhao. It can be seen that it is really not easy to choose martial arts talents from a poor family with no family background.

Based on these various restrictions, since then as long as there is no war, martial arts will remain in vain.

Besides, the fairness of martial arts examinations is no better than that of imperial examinations, because many items have a relatively large room for maneuvering, which has also led to many people bribing examiners in order to earn an official position, and examiners will turn a blind eye to fraudulent behavior during the examination process. If you close one eye, others will not be able to see it, so the status of Wuju is too embarrassing.

Shen Ji worked in Daizhou for three years, gained a lot of knowledge and ideas.After she finished thinking wildly, she began to think about the feasibility, pros and cons of her own idea, and then asked her friends to collect information together, preparing to give advice to Boss Zhao.

No, after discussing with Li Yunyao and planning for several months, she finally wrote a proposal.She was no longer going to do it alone, so she showed Shen Yilu the plan first.

"Practice martial arts for the rise of the Great Song Dynasty? What kind of slogan is this?" Shen Yilu frowned as he looked at the capitalized slogan on the planning book, "If someone with a heart sees this, they must make a fuss about it, what about the Great Song Dynasty? Now that it is on the way to prosperity, it has already risen, do you think that Song Dynasty is still in a weak position? How will you refute it then?"

Shen Ji: "..."

Although this is a picky behavior, the pen of a literati can indeed kill. Shen Ji simply picked up the brush a few times and changed the slogan to "reading and practicing martial arts for the prosperity and sustainable development of the Great Song Dynasty".

Shen Yilu: "..."

So "he" is sticking to the slogan?

"Why do you have to have a slogan?"

"It's loud! Don't you think it's very inspiring?"

Putting aside the slogan, Shen Yilu continued to look down.

Shen Ji's plan is actually to establish a martial arts school. Since those who take part in the imperial examination will first go through the education of academies and state schools, why don't those who take part in the martial arts exam need to go through systematic study?This is the reason why there were tens of thousands of people applying for the exam, but none of them satisfied Boss Zhao in the end!

Therefore, before participating in martial arts, one must first study both civil and martial arts, so that the martial arts candidates who apply for the exam can increase their chances of winning the exam.

And in order to prevent martial arts and martial arts from being aborted like before, the corresponding system must keep up——Li Yunyao thinks that Shen Ji needs to face a reality: even if martial arts can be as good as the imperial examination in two or three years It will be held once, but how many people will apply for it?

First of all, after the military examination, the promotion system for official positions is still to be discussed, but they are often appointed from low-level military officers just like civilian officials.This is not very attractive to the children of many families of military generals. After all, the official position is too low, and they can get middle and high-level military positions by virtue of their family background, so why should they work hard to practice martial arts and participate in martial arts exams?

The same is true for soldiers who were born in the army. They can be promoted based on their military merits and seniority. To participate in martial arts, they must understand military strategy. They haven't even read a book. How can they know the art of war?

Secondly, is the imperial court willing to spend so much effort and money to train military talents?On state studies, the imperial court has already spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and if there is another martial arts study, the third division will definitely cry poorly.

In this regard, Shen Ji's idea is that it is impossible for martial arts to flourish in various state capitals like state schools, but it is possible to follow the example of Guozijian and set up a national-level martial arts school, so that people from all over the country can recommend some people who meet the basic requirements to study here , On the one hand, learn the art of war and strategy, on the other hand, learn martial arts. After three years of training, you will either participate in martial arts, or go to the army to serve as a military officer and accumulate experience.

In order to encourage everyone to participate in martial arts, we have to give benefits. For example, the original martial arts career is re-evaluated every five years, but those who are born in martial arts can be re-evaluated every three years. Like the imperial examination, its origin is far more important than that of officials who have entered officialdom through other channels.

There are still many suggestions and propositions to fill in the loopholes. Shen Yilu can see that the consideration of this plan has become more and more thoughtful, and there is a high probability that it will be passed.However, he still mentioned that Shen Ji alone cannot do this, and it is best to obtain some support from the military officer.

Shen Ji said: "I have already persuaded Cao Can and the others to write a letter together!"

Shen Ji's social circle is not limited to literati, not to mention Cao Can and Yang Yanzhao, the sons-in-law of the military family. Through Dou Shuo's relationship with Princess Yan, she persuaded the princess' son-in-law, Gao Huaiyong.Although this son-in-law doesn't have much military power anymore, his prestige and contacts are still there. With him, the emperor's brother-in-law, coming forward, the resistance will be much less.

Shen Yilu: "..."

He really deserves to be his "son", this communicative ability is really not covered!

Although Shen Yilu didn't have any opinions, he still cautiously asked people to test the direction of the wind.It is probably because the Great Song had more confrontations with the Khitan, Xixia and other regimes recently, and everyone expected that there would be a big war in the future, so after some people proposed to resume the martial arts, no one opposed it.

However, restoring martial arts is only one part of Shen Ji's plan. What she wants to reform is the military system of the Song Dynasty.

At a court meeting, the privy envoy proposed to resume the martial arts, and Shen Ji took this opportunity to write a letter, proposing to resume the martial arts, but what should I do if there are no qualified candidates?Therefore, martial arts should be established, and the court should cultivate talents in this field, and then let these talents come to apply for the exam, so that they can select military generals who satisfy Boss Zhao and make the court feel at ease.

As soon as this proposal came out, the court suddenly became lively like a vegetable market, and all the officials whispered to each other and discussed a lot.Shen Yilu had already communicated with Boss Zhao beforehand, so the latter was not surprised.

Zhao Laodao: "This little Shenqing is really eager to run a school!"

Shen Jidao: "Dai Sheng in the Western Han Dynasty said in the "Book of Rites" in "Xue Ji", 'The ancient king, the founding of the country, the monarch and the people, education is the first'. He also said, 'To transform the people into customs, it must be learned'. Therefore, to educate the people, To cultivate a good custom, we must start with academics, and education is the most important thing. Therefore, in my opinion, both literature and martial arts should be guided and cultivated. Wen can rule the country, and martial arts can level the world. No."

Which emperor doesn't want to leave behind the reputation of Wenzhiwugong?Boss Zhao also thought about it, so on the one hand, he valued literature and used literati, and on the other hand, he wanted to use force to bring peace to the world and end the chaos of the feudal separatist rule during the Five Dynasties period.Although Shen Ji's proposal needs to reform the official system, it speaks to his heart.

Boss Zhao didn't explicitly support Shen Ji, and only let the people below discuss it.

Of course, there is quite a lot of opposition to this matter, because Shen Ji proposed that military officers who have passed the military examination can be re-qualified every three years. The enemy, in exchange for meritorious service through military exploits, can only be tested every five years, and those who have only studied martial arts for three years can be tested every three years after joining the army?

If one or two people are dissatisfied, they can still be ignored, but too many people have such dissatisfaction, and it is easy to cause turmoil.

Everyone came up with three solutions in the dispute: either keep it as it is, what is the original martial arts or what? reform the bureaucracy;

Either after passing the martial arts, the official rank is higher;

The last one is naturally to insist on the military officer who was born in the martial arts examination every three years to show the difference.

And many people have always been good at the golden mean, so the result of these disputes has slowly become that more people choose the second solution.

In the end, Boss Zhao agreed to hold martial arts and reopen martial arts. These two matters will be led by the Privy Council and the Ministry of War.Of course, Shen Ji, who first proposed this suggestion, was promoted from Shushu Lang to Yuanwailang of the Ministry of War. Although the functions of the Ministry of War do not exist, this Yuanwailang is only a rank official, but Shen Ji has measures to assist the Privy Council and the Ministry of War in martial arts and martial arts. implementation responsibilities.

Everyone remembered that Hu Dan had joked that Shen Ji's promotion speed was not as fast as his number one scholar. Now that he has been sent to Shangzhou, Shen Ji has been promoted two ranks in a row, and they don't know whether his face hurts or not.

The author says:

Shen Xiaoji: My official luck will be prosperous!

Sister Li: Actually, your promotion speed is not the fastest. Remember your friend Lu Mengzheng?It took him only 11 years from the number one scholar to the prime minister.

Lu Mengzheng: I'm overwhelmed.

Shen Xiaoji: ...

Off topic:

Hong Kong is true, Lu Mengzheng is truly a master, although there are no works left, but his promotion speed is really fast.Originally, Hu Dan was also the No. [-] scholar. His early official position and promotion route were exactly the same as Lu Mengzheng, because he was one year later than Lu Mengzheng. Whatever official position Lu Mengzheng held before, he held the same official position.As a result, because of this offending mouth, when he was working in the History Museum, he wrote to Zhao Guangyi to speak ill of Zhao Pu and Lu Duoxun, and Zhao Guangyi was demoted.If his EQ was as high as that of Lu Mengzheng, he might be able to rise to the top.

PS. Let’s not talk about the prime ministers during the Zhao Boss period in the Northern Song Dynasty. The prime ministers after Zhao Guangyi’s reign really belonged to Lu Mengzheng who rose the fastest. Zhun 26 years, Zhang Qixian 23 years, Xiang Minzhong 20 years, Li Hang 21 years...
