Don’t think that because your ancestors were ministers or governors, your grandson can join the ranks of elected military officials in the country. This is not a civil official, not a real prince. If the court has favor, he will just eat at home and wait to die until he reaches a certain age.
You can also work part-time as an official.
Not to mention the Prime Minister and the Governor, even if you have the title of Jiedushi, during the war, the court will give you some blank diplomas so that you can fill in the names of your nephews, and then there will be someone from the eighth or ninth rank.
position.
In the past few years, my relationship with Daxia... I have given some money, and the border has become much more stable. There has been no war at all, and there is no chance.
Therefore, with such an opportunity and the strong recommendation of the rich envoy, even the Zhe family, which has guarded Lin Erzhou for generations, came to the capital to give it a try.
It was indeed as expected, as the two men had expected, those who had arrived early for the selection of soldiers in the capital had gone through the doors and windows to ask around, but they could not find out what the selection items were.
neither knows.
The nephews or sons of military generals all participated in the military selection, and no one dared to inquire about it. The civil servants did not take it seriously at all. This was not a scientific examination, so who cares about this? It is not enough to reduce the price.
In addition, the Imperial City Division treats the entire East Palace Guard Camp as if it were the Imperial City, who can know the content of the assessment?
Zhao Xi was only responsible for the copywriting, and he left the entire preparations for the selection to Lu Gong.
I have to say that Mr. Lu did a pretty good job. In the words of later generations, he had strong organizational skills.
As the examiner, Lu Gongzhu chose a censor and an imperial official, while the recorder was a scholar from Imperial College.
And just like a scientific expedition, all personnel were moved into the guard camp ten days in advance.
Among all the preparations, what surprised Zhao Xi the most was that Su Song actually designed timing hourglasses for different times... This is quite awesome.
There were no stopwatches in this era, so Zhao Xi was still worried about what to do. He thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with a suitable solution, so he thought it didn't work, so he timed it in stages according to a stick of incense.
Unexpectedly, Su Song actually made hourglass timings for different periods of time based on different assessment items.
He is indeed an interesting person. Zhao Xi is even more interested in Su Song than Lu Gongzhu.
The recruitment of the East Palace Guards is finally about to begin.
This day can be described with the following words... crisp autumn air, clear sky, cloudless sky, and bright sunshine. You can also describe it as a roaring sky with gongs and drums, blasting firecrackers, and a sea of people...
After all, it is also an important matter for the country to select talents. It is not a scientific examination and cannot be watched by others. This can be watched by spectators.
So, when I had nothing to do, I took the time to run to the guard camp, just to see what the prince's selection of soldiers was like.
Fortunately, this was originally a military camp that could accommodate tens of thousands of people. Even though Zhao Xi had renovated it, the ten or twenty thousand people who came in still didn't feel crowded... After all, it was so big that as long as you squeezed into one place, you still wouldn't feel crowded.
There was a sign at the gate... This was quite new, so everyone went to the places they were interested in.
Just like now, Zhao Xi is like a commentator, leading his father and those who can be ranked in the court to visit the public house... that is, the office building.
"This chair..."
As long as I sit on it, I want to sigh. It is very comfortable, especially when I close my eyes and relax, my two hands have a place to rest, and my hands can use force when I stand up. Especially the backrest, not to mention the momentum, the key is to rely on it.
You can take a break in the past.
"This low stool..."
Can I see a low stool here? Is that a sofa? Forget it, I am an aborigine, so I can call it whatever I want. Anyway, this is not important.
"Xi'er..."
Zhao Zhen also tried to sit on it. It was quite comfortable, much more comfortable than the current chair. But he was embarrassed to say anything to his son...
"Dad, according to the configuration of the palace, the child has already ordered the workshop to do it."
The Queen's Inner Garden, this is a big order... Unfortunately, I have to pay for it myself. Even if I spend money to buy it, I also spend my own private room.
The empress seems to be complaining a little bit... How can the place where this soldier lives be so well organized without keeping it in the palace first?
It's a bit unfair to Zhao Xi. It was only a few days ago that Zhao Xi remembered this and hurriedly made a few sets just for today's advertising effect.
"Your Highness, is this your Highness's plan to make a living for the family members of the escort team?"
Pang Ji still remembered this. It was he who persuaded the court to allow the East Palace Guard Camp to set up a workshop.
"Mr. Hui, that's right. This item has been verified for several times and was finalized the day before yesterday. Because the camp is in tatters and the raw materials are insufficient, there are not many sets even in the camp."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Xi had to speak clearly. He couldn't let the empress think that he didn't care about her anymore.
"Don't cry like you are poor! The imperial court understands that His Highness is building a guard camp. If the court officials need this table and chairs, there will be three envoys to take care of it."
This... Zhao Xi really didn't mean this. He just wanted to explain the misunderstanding about the empress on this topic.
However, it's okay if you think so.
The Great Song Dynasty has these advantages and is reasonable.
Wherever this group of people went, there were fewer people there... The Imperial City Division was driving people away.
However, some comments were still heard. Most of them had the same idea... If I had known that the public house here was so comfortable, I should have come to teach them.
Very good, this is exactly what Zhao Xi expected. People's pursuit of beautiful things does not distinguish between era and status.
The well-planned layout of the guard camp, the clean and tidy environment, and the solemn atmosphere at the same time. There is no need to worry about people not liking it, and there is no need to worry about promotion.
On the playground, Zhao Xi calls him like this, and others follow him. At least in the current guard camp, whether it is the master craftsman who will be the supervisor or the instructor who is stationed, they all call him this way. Because it fits.
Zhao Xi did not completely copy the design of the playground from later generations. For example, some of the bleachers can be copied, but some cannot. There is a rostrum and a sunshade, but it is not a roof.
For example, in order to facilitate calculations on the runway, Zhao Xi directly changed it to a standard of one lap and one mile...
When we get to the playground, this is the core of what we want to show today.
In the center of the playground, several rows of platforms about one meter high were temporarily built, and two thousand sets of guard equipment were placed on the platforms.
Four sets of guard clothing, two each in earthy yellow and grass green, divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter.
A square object, with countless cloth bags tied on the surface, looks like oilcloth...
There are also several different styles of cloth bags or cloth belts placed, the most eye-catching one is the dark glossy military spurs...
The entire military camp was nonsense to Zhao Xi. Based on the current conditions, he felt that it had just caught his eye.
But for those who came to the military camp today, regardless of their culture or status, everything was novel and shocking.
This is the guard camp, this is the real military camp.
