Although the honor seems easy, it is actually more important than the rank, because it can last a lifetime. The difference with the title is that it cannot be passed down, but it is also a great reward. The nobles look at the prince differently.

Okay, is it possible that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to confer knighthood on a large scale? This time, the knighthood has already begun, so will the title of knighthood be far behind?

The Imperial Warrior Medal was personally awarded by Zhu Houzhao, the Ming Dynasty Prince. Zhu Houzhao did not do anything wrong and awarded the reward according to the procedure.

Of course, this is not the end. Zhu Houzhao still has to give a speech. The moment Zhu Houzhao stepped on the stage, the scene was completely silent, and even the sound of breathing was much quieter.

There was no applause, but Zhu Houzhao's expression was still very serious. His eyes swept across the Black Dragon Army in the audience. Zhu Houzhao said softly: "In the northwest battle, you and I fought bloody battles. You are all my robes. Since you are

Pao Ze, let me tell you something truthful today. That is, being an official thousands of miles away is just for the sake of wealth, which means that you are an official thousands of miles away from home just to make a fortune."

"Some people say that being an official is to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, not to get rich. If you want to get rich, then don't be an official." Zhu Houzhao continued to say with a serious face: "But how many people can really do it? The so-called gentleman loves money and gets it in the right way.

, as long as the money comes from the right way, then I think there is nothing wrong with it. For example, you, your money comes from the right way."

"Being in the army means a lot of hardships. I keep my head in my belt. It is indeed to be loyal to the king and serve the country, but the king and the country cannot fail you."

Zhu Houzhao turned sideways as he spoke, turned around and pointed at the nobles sitting there: "Have you seen these nobles? Their ancestors served in the Ming Dynasty, how did the Ming Dynasty treat them? Living with the country, what does it mean to live with the country?

Tongxiu means that unless Ming Dynasty is gone one day, they will have their share of this glory and wealth."

"The same goes for you. I hope that in a few years, you can sit here and award medals to the soldiers who have made meritorious service and issue rewards from the court."

"The money you got is what you got in exchange for killing enemies. You can spend it as much as you want. You can buy land and real estate. You can go home and marry a concubine. This is what the Ming Dynasty rewards you, and you deserve it. From now on.

Kill enemies and make meritorious deeds, and glory and wealth are waiting for you."

Zhu Houzhao's words were very provocative. To put it bluntly, he told these people that if they work hard and kill the enemy and perform meritorious deeds, they will have money, status, and everything else.

Everyone in the Black Dragon Army below looked very excited. If there were no rewards in front of him, His Royal Highness might be making empty promises, but now these benefits have been realized in real terms. If Zhu Houzhao is saying this, then he is not painting.

It's a big deal, but Yan Zhenzhen is so sincere, how could you not be excited?

The nobles also straightened their waists one by one. Did you see that His Highness the Crown Prince said so well? This represents His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's attitude towards the nobles. How could they not be happy?

Zhu Houzhao turned his head and pointed at the nobles again, with an expression on his face that seemed a little excited. After finding these nobles, Zhu Houzhao would naturally not be able to let them show their faces and then go back. This is absolutely not possible. We must make the best use of everything.

, Only when people give full play to their talents. After the emotions below him calmed down a little, Zhu Houzhao spoke and continued.

"Today you have made meritorious service to the country. The Ming Dynasty's Martial Arts Academy will be established. Soldiers who have won the Imperial Medal of Valor will be able to sponsor a disciple to study in the Martial Arts Academy."

"You may not know what the Martial Arts Academy is. I tell you that the Martial Arts Academy is a place where archery, horse riding, and shooting are taught. All the distinguished disciples present are also going there, but they have to take assessments, but you don't have to. Your

The disciples can directly enroll in Enyin. I can put it more bluntly. After the disciples enter the school, if they can graduate from the martial arts academy and start from a hundred households, they will be able to become a hundred households after graduation."

This is the big picture of Zhu Houzhao. As the saying goes, it is easy to enter but difficult to get out. You can enter the martial arts academy, but it is not so easy to graduate.

As for the children of honorable nobles who need to take exams, it's even simpler. If your son doesn't live up to expectations and fails to pass the exam, then you should make meritorious deeds and enroll in Enyin, otherwise your son won't be able to get in.

Everyone present knows that His Highness the Crown Prince’s words mean that all generals in the army must graduate from a martial arts academy. If you don’t graduate from a martial arts academy, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to enter the military. A noble family,

If you can't join the army, then you will only have an empty title. How many generations can you maintain it? Who will take you seriously?

In particular, the Dukes and Marquises looked very unhappy. If they failed to pass the exam, it would not only be a matter of benefits, but also a matter of face.

You are an honorable family, a prince and a prince. If your children cannot even pass the martial arts academy, how dare you say that you are a general or an honorable noble? It will probably become a joke by then.

Under such circumstances, these nobles looked at the nephews they had brought with them, their eyes and expressions changed, and they made up their minds that they would practice hard after returning. If they failed to pass the exam, it would be a shame.

. Although it is temporary support, it is better than no support at all! As for those noble disciples, their faces were all a little pale, and they swallowed their saliva.

"I'm afraid it's going to be bad now!"

If this was said by others, these people would definitely refute with disdain, "Who are you? Are you the one who has the final say?"

But this is what the prince said, and this is what he means!

Zhu Houzhao's words highlight one point, that is, the importance of military merit. If you achieve military merit, everything will be easy to say, otherwise everything will be difficult to say. Once some nobles cannot keep up, one or two generations will still be able to do it.

If there is no talented person, if he can't pass the martial arts academy and can't join the army, then his family will be excluded from the honorable ranks.

There will still be titles and salaries, but other privileges will be gone. Once the privileges of nobility are gone, how can these people survive?

Zhu Houzhao believed that within a few years, a large number of outstanding young people would emerge among the nobles, and the flying eagles and lackeys would naturally be replaced. Archery, horse riding, and archery would be the way to go.

Zhu Houzhao seemed to feel that it was not enough, and continued: "I hope that one day, you can make your father, grandfather, and even ancestors proud of you. If one day, you stand on this stage to receive the medal, and how can you get this medal?"

It is your father who receives the medal, what kind of family glory will this be?"

The honorable nobles couldn't help but fantasize about that kind of scene, it was so beautiful, so beautiful, they insisted on it, but the faces of the honorable nobles' disciples were even uglier.
