Fantasy: Starting out as a gigolo, born a Confucian sage

The origin of the embroidered robe envoys can be traced back to the founding of the Han Dynasty, when Emperor Taizong sent envoys to travel around the country.

These envoys held the position of the Censorate, wore embroidered robes granted by the emperor, and strictly investigated illegal activities.

However, the embroidered robe envoy system mentioned by Shen Wuming was not like this, but was to be established on a regular basis.

In the structure of a hundred-man team or above, embroidered robe envoys must be established as a permanent official position.

Their rank should be equivalent to that of the chief officer in the army. In non-wartime, they are responsible for the life and thoughts of the army.

This includes regular caring activities, routine supervision and ideological education in the army.

But at the same time, the military power of the embroidered robe envoys must be limited, and they must not interfere with the combat command of the chief officer in the army.

"The so-called embroidered robe envoy he mentioned is somewhat similar to the military supervisor we sent before."

"But upon closer inspection, it is different. It has become a common official position in the army."

"The most important thing is that usually when the army sets out, one person is assigned to supervise the army."

"This person is entrusted with the emperor's order, but he often abuses his power and is at odds with the generals."

"At the same time, his rank is too high, and it is difficult to get down to the lower level. This embroidered robe envoy is different."

One is permanent, and the other is the rank.

These two points alone have made great changes to the traditional military supervisor system.

In particular, the requirement that the embroidered robe envoy be set above a hundred-man team is what Zheng Chengwu values ​​most.

"It's feasible!"

Li Guozhong himself is responsible for education and diplomacy, and is not very likely to participate in military discussions.

But at this time, he rarely speaks up, and he starts to analyze.

"I'm afraid that the generals in the army will be too opposed. After all, this is equivalent to hanging a knife over their heads."

According to the traditional method, just send a military supervisor over, and many generals are used to it.

But if the embroidered robe envoys were established on the 100-man team, there would be suspicion of seizing power.

"They dare!"

Zheng Chengwu glared, "I agree, who dares to oppose? Anyone who dares to oppose is trying to rebel."

"What's more, think about it the other way around."

"If a military supervisor is sent over, they will suspect that they are being replaced by a military supervisor."

"But if there are embroidered robe envoys at every level, this suspicion will be dispelled."

"It just prevents them from holding their own troops. I think there shouldn't be many people who oppose it."

Li Guozhong usually refutes Zheng Chengwu, but when discussing military affairs, he absolutely respects Zheng Chengwu's opinion.

In this regard, Zheng Chengwu is absolutely professional.

The left prime minister did not speak, but looked at the Minister of War, "Mr. Yu, what do you think?"

Yu Zhilong, the Minister of War, is not a pure military general, but a civil official.

But he once served as a local governor and also served in military positions such as defense envoys.

It can be said that he is both civil and military.

He thought for a moment, "I think we can take it slowly, don't rush."

"Let's implement it among the six armies of the emperor first. If the response is good, then extend it to the local garrisons and border troops."

"As mentioned in the policy paper."

"Opening the port can be carried out at the same time as the two strategies of 'embroidered envoys built on a hundred-man team'."

"After all, this thing is estimated to have many border army generals interested in it, and we can just use it as a condition."

The court and the local government both represent the government, but there will also be disputes over land.

In many cases, the interests of both parties must be exchanged to achieve the best results.

Shen Wuming mentioned this in his policy paper, of course, the words are still relatively euphemistic.

The main meaning is very obvious, that is, to use the opening of the port as a condition in exchange for the consent of the border army generals.

The so-called opening of the port means to lift the border blockade, establish a port, and allow business with other countries and ethnic groups.

After the opening of the port, border trade will prosper, and the court will definitely collect a lot of taxes.

But how to divide it and how strong the supervision is can all be controlled.

If they relax a little, the generals of the border army can get a lot of benefits.

It's not that these generals only know how to embezzle.

But even those who are public-spirited will definitely want more funds.

After this, the left prime minister nodded, "Shen Wuming looks young, but he is actually smart."

"Unlike many young people with lofty ambitions, he looks at problems more carefully."

"It's a pity that he is not in the capital, otherwise he can be called here to discuss with us."

The empress looked at the left prime minister in surprise.

You know, this is the highest-scale meeting in the Han Dynasty.

Except for a military minister who represents professionals, the rest of the participants are prime ministers and emperors.

Decision-making level.

It was unexpected for the left prime minister to mention Shen Wuming at this time.

"Isn't the left prime minister too high a price for him?"

"This guy is still a candidate now."

The empress couldn't help laughing.

The left prime minister shook his head, "If he wasn't just a candidate, I'd have to give him my position."

Everyone turned their heads at the same time and looked at him in surprise.

I didn't expect the left prime minister to think so highly of Shen Wuming.

"Okay, let's talk about it later."

The empress interrupted, "In addition to what he said about the embroidered envoys being built on a hundred-man team and opening a port."

"There is also this tariff and trade protection policy..."

...

When Shen Wuming returned to the capital, he heard the surrounding restaurants singing his "Come for the Cup".

He couldn't help but be full of surprise.

After a little inquiring, I found out that my papers had been posted again and I was publicly executed.

"They are sick."

Shen Wuming held Cao Juyu in his arms and couldn't help but complain, "Is it worth it?"

"And why do you want me to be on the gold list alone? Isn't this just to attract hatred for me!"

A great man once said that we must have many friends and few enemies.

But this court seems to be sick.

He keeps trying to attract hatred for him. There are probably many candidates in this class who want to kill him.

Cao Zhuyu smiled sweetly, "Wu Ming, I take it you are in Versailles, right?"

She also learned the word Versailles from Shen Wuming's mouth.

Shen Wuming rolled his eyes. He really didn't want to be so high-profile. Making money secretly was justice.

After all, he is still eyeing the No. 1 pick.

If you stir up hatred like this, I'm afraid someone will interfere with it.

At this moment, Chu Youyi walked in from outside and handed over a piece of paper.

"Husband, this is an official document issued by the Ministry of Rites, saying that the time for the second exam has been determined."

Shen Wuming took it and glanced at it. The time was the day after tomorrow, so he had to prepare well.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at the two ladies.

"I haven't been with you for so long, shall we go shopping today?"

Shopping is not the purpose, his real purpose is to buy some flowers.

I promised my aunt last time.

As expected, he had to go to the Confucian Temple for the second actual battle. He couldn't eat salt to gain weight.

Time passed quietly.

Early on the third day.

Shen Wuming hugged a bouquet of flowers and started lining up outside the Confucian Temple.

"No. 1 pick, here I come."
