Soldiers Card System

When Zhou Ping returned home, the sky was already dark, and the door of Zhou Mansion was still crowded with people who wanted to see the newly promoted Zhou Shangshu.

The bearer directly carried the sedan into the door and stopped in the yard.

The butler stood beside the sedan chair and said respectfully:

"Master, today the Shazhou governor Yang Zong, the governor of Jiangzhou Weifu Shigu, the navy governor of Luojiang Wen Jiang, and the other twelve officials at the county level, Master, this is a greeting card. ."

Zhou Ping received the greeting, glanced at the three counted Shangfeng Xinjiang officials' greetings, and said in a tired tone:

"All three of them responded to the greetings. Master, I am busy with my affairs, and I have no time to deal with major events in the military recently."

The butler took the greeting and bowed and said, "Then Wen Jiang is a general that the prince valued, and it is said that the prince's contribution was made by the prince."

When Zhou Ping heard this, he raised his eyebrows and thought about it carefully:

"Then select Wen Jiang's post separately, and you can meet in person to mention my difficulties, lord."

The housekeeper responded, and Zhou Ping walked into the bedroom with a tired body, and saw his wife and daughter who were whispering.

"Master is back."

"My father is back."

The two asked and said, the wife helped Zhou Ping to sit down and poured tea for him, complaining in her tone:

"Master is six books now, you can't just focus on business, but don't get tired."

Zhou Ping drank the tea, looked at her daughter, and thought of Dani's self-recommendation when discussing the establishment of the Armory Mansion today, and her heart was instantly unbalanced.

"Zhiqing, your boss is not young anymore, haven't you thought about joining the army or becoming an official, just thinking about marrying someone?"

Daughter Zhou Zhiqing looked at her father in a daze, wondering why her father suddenly wanted to let herself join the army. Is joining the army something a girl can do? General Xie Wan was also forced out, and now there are no more people.

The wife was immediately dissatisfied: "What happened to you again? Why did you think of pushing your daughter into the fire pit?"

Zhou Ping talked about Dani and supported the whole family with weak shoulders. Even the prince was amazed. Now she has been allowed to act as the chief officer of the Ordnance Mansion, and she will be General Mingwei from the fourth rank in the future.

"The Ordnance Mansion will not only be of its current rank. I guess the prince wants to completely separate the Ordnance Mansion, or a rank similar to the Taixi Academy of Sciences, subordinate to the Secretary of the Army, but naturally independent."

"The chief official of the Academy of Sciences, but a half-rank official second only to the Secretary of the Army, has reached this point in the body of a woman, and Lieutenant Wang is the first person."

Madam listened to Zhou Ping's remarks, her eyes began to glow.

"Don't you need to go to the front in the Armory House? If this is the case, you can let your daughter in. Even if you are married, you don't have to be a husband and a child. Naturally, if our daughter is married, we can't be an ordinary person."

Zhou Ping coldly snorted: "What ordinary people, I started from Zhou Ping in Hanwei, what happened to ordinary people, ordinary people can't enter the Ordnance Mansion as officials. The prince has already said that in the future, these officials will have to pass the examination and selection, and women can also do it. Take the exam."

Zhou Zhiqing heard her father's words, and her eyes flashed with light. Your Majesty, General Xie Wan, and Lieutenant Dong Ling, these were originally the role models she envied. Listening to the meaning of her father's words, it seems that the prince is about to open a new exam, she must Participate in the examination and become a court official.

Holding her wrinkled arms, Zhou Zhiqing said coquettishly: "Father, what exams, what are the contents of the school exams..."

At the same time, a scene similar to Zhou Ping's house began to be staged in the homes of officials everywhere in the capital. They were all concerned about the content of the school and the grade after passing the exam.

In the palace, Su Yun was talking to Su Lu about what he had seen in the north, what happened during the remnants of Qing's suppression of Rouran, and the performance of the generals.

"Our baggage transportation is inconvenient. Although there are things like sleds and sliders that you proposed, but the weather is too cold for the horses to bear."

"Thanks to the large birds, this has solved part of the problem of baggage transportation. If the birds were not transported, I really don't know what the result will be."

The war has entered the final stage, which is to quell bandits and deserters everywhere, and to appease the herdsmen. Among them, the amount of food and grass needed to be used is large, and the old fan of the heavy camp almost got his hair clean.

Su Lu nodded: "Now we lack the tools to transport the baggage. Horse-drawn carriages can't work. Although sleds can work, it is a great test for horses. It would be great if we could develop trains."

"train?"

Su Yun looked at his elder brother in amazement, what a new thing this was.

Su Lu said casually: "A means of transportation, walking on a specific track, can transport a large amount of heavy goods, day and night, as long as there is a specific track, this vehicle can travel all over the world."

Su Yun curled his lips: "What you think is pretty beautiful, brother, we still want to be practical, such as letting various places offer horses that can pull sleds in extreme cold weather, or letting the Armory House develop new and larger birds. ."

Su Lu asked Gao Dabao next to him: "Dabao, your home is in Jiangzhou, how long does it take to get here from Jiangzhou?"

Gao Dabao calculated it carefully, "It will take twenty days to get back to the prince. Unless I'm quicker, I can do it faster."

Su Lu shook his head. This was only to Jiangzhou. Afterwards, he would destroy the Kingdom of Tang and occupy the land of the Southern Tang. From the south to the north of the country, this time would be longer. It would take three months to travel from the north to the south.

"We still have to get the transport equipment out."

"By the way, I am discussing with the people in the Ministry of Defense about reforming the military system, preparing to set up a staff office in the Ministry of Defense, and mobilizing front-line young generals to serve in the staff office. Are you interested?"

Su Lu looked at Su Yun and asked.

Su Yun's eyes lit up: "What rank is the general staff member of?"

Su Yun laughed: "Starting with the fifth rank, the highest is the third rank, and the rest are the general staff of the bird soldier, the general staff of the ballista soldier, and the general staff of the infantry.

Su Yun's eyes rolled steadily: "Brother, who do you prefer to serve as the general staff of these three ranks?"

Su Lu shook his head: "I haven't decided yet. To talk about the candidate, Dong Ling is naturally the most suitable, but she has insufficient qualifications. She has just leapfrogged and promoted the general, and now she has suddenly reached a high position, which is not appropriate."

Su Yun said with a smile, "Then if I serve as the staff general of these three ranks as a princess, it should be fine."

Su Lu looked at Su Yun, "The grade is enough, but you can't control the young generals who have been transferred from the front to the General Staff."

Su Yun didn't care at all and said, "Let Dong Ling come, and she will serve as the general staff of the infantry army. Without my action, she can put those thorns in order."

Su Lu glanced at Su Yun: "Then you have to think about it. The rank of this staff office is definitely not that high. The highest is only from Rank 4, and it will slowly rise from the back."

Su Yun said impatiently: "I know, I know, brother, you have the final say, yes, brother, if there is any car of yours, how many days will it take for us to go back to our hometown?"

"long time"

Su Lu said casually. In the past, I took the high-speed rail and took a few hundred miles to get it in a few hours. I still have to talk about it in a long time.
