Chapter 751 Multiple Promotion Paths(1/2)
Although they didn't know what was going on, many people vaguely guessed something and immediately yelled at Dong Wen.
They were scolded with all kinds of unpleasant words, and those who were named looked like they were surviving a disaster.
Not many people are stupid. Although I don't know where Slave Dean is, I can tell from the name that it's not a good place.
When the last person asked to get out of the car, the prison van began to slowly start and transport them to the canal.
Regardless of how skilled these people are in martial arts, they went to the canal and soaked in the mud all day long. Even if they had any skills, they couldn't use them. Moreover, even if they used any powerful skills, it would be in vain without weapons.
Almost all the Huns here work during the day and study various brainwashing materials at night. They are already familiar with punishment and reward measures.
If these people want to cause trouble, those who take the initiative to help catch them will get a lot of rewards, and they can even be comfortable, eat, drink and play for a month.
You can also save up for holidays and the like, and spend time with good friends, eating wine and playing cards.
After the number of people increased, the slave priests became like a small society, imprisoning their thoughts and consolidating their physical strength.
The Huns galloping on the grasslands will turn into good babies, the kind of slave-like good babies.
Hundreds of knight-errants were walking towards the village, and the captain came over and cupped their hands.
"Mr. Baili, Your Majesty has arranged a place for you to rest. From today on, you must go to Xinhuo Academy for classes every day, at least one hour a day."
"Well, your Majesty has already told me, by the way, has the mansion where we stay been sorted out?"
The lieutenant said, "Your Majesty believes that the Rangers are an independent branch. Everyone has unique skills and needs to open a new mansion. There are many idle mansions built near Your Majesty's mansion. This time it will be used."
"You and Dong Wen can stay in the side courtyard of your residence!"
Baili Shuang nodded and cupped her hands towards the captain, who quickly left.
Dong Wen looked at him in surprise and even changed his title, "Brother Baili, what is your position here?"
Baili Shuang smiled and said, "I'm just a retainer, responsible for managing the rangers who come to seek refuge with you."
"Oh? It turns out that Mr. Wu An also recruits followers."
Baili Shuang smiled and said, "That's not true. Your Majesty has very high requirements for your disciples. The rangers are just my subordinates. They only need training for the time being, but as time goes by, you will soon be needed to serve your Majesty."
"As for me, I can be considered a guest here, but I can mobilize a Polu army of no more than two hundred people~~~!"
Baili Shuang felt a little proud, and the rangers next to her also expressed surprise.
Dong Wen's expression changed, "Here, a knight-errant can be an official? A general?"
Baili Shuang smiled and said, "More than that, as long as you are talented and loyal, not to mention a ranger, even a slave can get ahead."
After saying that, he let out a long sigh and said depressedly, "Your Majesty asked me to go to Yunhe County or Dongde County to be a county captain, but I didn't go!"
Dong Wen's eyes bulged out, and he lost his voice and said, "What? County captain?"
Baili Shuang nodded silently and said with a slight disdain, "I'm just a county lieutenant. What's the fuss? I want to do more meritorious service by your side. It's more like a county lieutenant."
The eyes of Dong Wen and the nearby rangers changed.
"You are noble."
"You are amazing."
"If you don't like it, you can be a pawn for us!!!"
Some vassal states also have the position of county lieutenant, and some do not. But how could such a high position be filled by a knight-errant?
The scholar-bureaucrats' connections could not be arranged, and there was always a carrot in the hole. Whenever there was a vacancy, connections would naturally come to the job.
I am waiting for others. If I am lucky, it will be good if I can win over a township-level official.
To put it nicely, they are officials; to put it harshly, they are officials, who are not promoted to the next level.
It's not like the man in front of me who rushes into the street and is given to a county captain to despise him. Brother, he is a county captain, okay?
In an instant, Baili Shuang had more people around her.
Hundreds of lemon essences.
"Then, is there any chance we can become officials?"
Dong Wen asked everyone's thoughts.
Baili Shuang frowned, dragged her chin, and after thinking for a while, she said.
"Being an official in Yuntong County is both easy and difficult. There are many ways. For example, if you like literature, you can apply for civil service, and if you like martial arts, you can apply for military general."
"But, not only civil servants but also military generals need to have a graduation certificate from Xinhuo Academy."
"Graduation certificate? What is that?"
Baili Shuang smiled and said, "You have learned knowledge in the academy. For example, if you studied civil service, you can take the exam after two or three years of studying."
"After you pass, you will be issued a diploma. Of course, there are four- and five-year programs. Only with a diploma can you work as an official."
"Generally, they will be sent to the villages and counties for training. They need to be tested every year. If you fail the test, you will be considered good if you don't quit."
"Only those with good test scores will have the chance to be promoted, but I heard that Junshang is looking for another academy."
"For example, the military academy specializes in training generals, and there are other academies that train craftsmen, such as masons, carpenters, and blacksmiths."
"Craftsman? What's so good about that?" Dong Wen instantly sneered at this.
Baili Shuang immediately explained, "Don't underestimate the craftsmen. Although Chaoxian doesn't admit it, in Yuntong, the craftsmen who join the foundry are all of high grade, and their annual salary is no less than that of officials, or even more."
!!!
Everyone is already confused that there is such an operation.
"Then, if you perform meritorious service, will you be rewarded with land?"
Baili Shuang took the trouble to explain, "In Yuntong County, except for those who own land, all land is owned by the state, but you can apply for a lease."
"According to different official positions, you can apply for different amounts of land. All taxes are numerous, and you only need to pay three levels, plus a head tax."
"What? Taxes are so low."
Dong Wen suddenly became excited, "If possible, I would like to go home, sell off my family's assets and buy a house in the county."
Baili Shuang's mouth twitched hard and she couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
"Brother, you are really a rich man!"
"Hey, a hundred acres of Susukaku field is not worth mentioning."
Baili Shuang shook his head and said, "In Yuntong County, after a lot of renovations, an ordinary house now costs more than ten or twenty gold. If it is a mansion, it is estimated to cost several hundred gold, or more than a thousand gold."
Everyone was silent for a while...
Dong Wen exclaimed, "Why are prices in the county so high?"
Baili Shuang rolled her eyes and said, "Because Yuntong County is safe and merchants from all over the country come and go frequently, naturally the price will rise~~~!"
"Furthermore, Your Majesty has already issued regulations. Shops and residences are not allowed to be owned by more than one person per household, otherwise the house will be ransacked."
Everyone was immediately speechless.
Arriving at the arranged mansion, at the request of everyone, Baili Shuang sat on the main seat. Everyone knelt down and started asking questions one by one.
After all the problems were sorted out, at least one-third of the hundreds of people had plans to live here permanently.
Business is prosperous, there are many ways to get promoted, and you can also send your children to school. Although you may not necessarily become an official, you can learn knowledge after all.
The time turned to evening.
Cao Wushuang brought a man, a woman and a child to the fifth floor.
Yang Qian's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Master, have your tribe made arrangements?"
"Well, we have made arrangements and told them about the intermarriage, and they are all willing."
"That's good, what's going on with these three people?"
Cao Wushuang pointed at the man and said, "This used to be the naval commander of the Yue Kingdom."
"A waterman? Can you fight in water?"
The middle-aged man raised his hands and said, "Yes, more than ten years ago, I served as a two-hundred-year-old soldier in the Yue Navy.
Renduwei, temporary acting commander."
Yang Qian didn't know the official positions of Yue State. The official positions of each country here were not uniform, which was very troublesome.
It is usually determined by the number of people under the command and the annual salary. Except for the Xia Kingdom, the basic structure is the same. At most, there is a slight difference in one function and name.
Taking the man and Cao Wushuang to the study, Yang Gan took out a document from the drawer and handed it to the man.
"If you can read, just follow the instructions above and fill it out."
The middle-aged man picked up the paper and looked at it. He was surprised and said, "It's such a white paper."
Yang Qian said with great interest, "We have white paper here. It's not a valuable thing. Ordinary people can occasionally afford it."
The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead. From the moment he walked in until now, Zhou Zai's environment had left an impression on him.
Hao~~!
Inhumane!
