Wei and Jin cooks

Zhao Shen perked up after hearing this, and said with a shy and embarrassed look on his face: "Grandpa, I don't like beautiful clothes. A gentleman beautifies the world with virtue. Even if he is wearing a tattered sack, he is still beautiful. My grandson wants to ask you for a way to support the family."

Zhao Song was moved to tears and said with a look of relief, "My grandson has grown up."

Then he said: "Your father is here. He is in the prime of life. Leave the support of the family to him. You can take good care of yourself. If you need anything, just tell the mountain people and let him prepare it for you."

Zhao Shen shook his head seriously and said: "My grandfather doesn't know that I brought more than a thousand people this time. They all need to eat and drink, so I have to feed them. Alas, it's a pity that I don't have anything, and it's difficult to feed myself. Not to mention them, that’s why I want to ask my grandfather for a way to support the family.”

When Zhao Ming heard this, he stopped drinking tea, raised his eyelids, glanced at him, and sneered.

Zhao Song said happily: "Don't worry, those people have been raised by Sanniang for you."

Zhao Shen's smile froze, "You raised him for me?"

"Yes, don't you know?" Zhao Song said: "Sanniang will reward you for your merits. You and your friends have all made contributions. At that time, Sanniang asked them about their wishes. Those who are willing to join the army and have a career will be included in her list. If you want a stable job in the army, she will also give you a land and a house, as well as money and food to settle down. It can be said that she has taken care of everything."

Zhao Shen: "...How come I don't know?"

Zhao Song tilted his head, "Didn't I tell you?"

Zhao Shen shook his head with a stupefied expression.

Zhao Song turned around and blamed Zhao Ming, "I am too old to remember things. Why don't you remember to tell Shen'er?"

Zhao Ming: ...Can this be all his fault?

Zhao Shen also looked at him with a reproachful look.

Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a half-smile.

It's okay if his father blames him. That's his father. Where did Zhao Shen get the courage?

When Zhao Ming met Zhao Ming's gaze, Zhao Shen immediately returned his gaze, the reproachful look on his face disappeared in an instant, and he leaned back obediently.

Zhao Ming snorted coldly, put down the tea cup, stood up and looked at his son condescendingly: "The general has reserved a very important position for you. I think your injury is almost healed. You can go see the general tomorrow." ."

Because the imperial court is moving to Luoyang and has to take a lot of things with it, everyone is packing their luggage.

When Zhao Shen reached Zhao's house with his hands clasped together, the guards were moving boxes out and fixing them on the car.

When they saw Zhao Shen, some guards immediately stopped him, and then someone went in to report.

The emperor was living in the Zhao residence at this time, and Zhao Hanzhang was here, so the Zhao residence was heavily guarded.

Zhao Hanzhang was reviewing the excerpts, and the little emperor was sitting next to her. He went through the excerpts listlessly, and Zhao Hanzhang allowed him to write his own suggestions on it.

It's a pity that the little emperor read it all morning and didn't write down a single useful suggestion.

Seeing someone coming in, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stood up and said: "General, you are busy, so I will leave first."

Zhao Hanzhang put down his pen and stood up, bowed and cupped his hands and said: "I respectfully send you off to your Majesty."

The little emperor ran away as if there was a mad dog chasing him.

Zhao Shen watched his back disappear and felt that he was very similar to Zhao Ce a few years ago, who would run away whenever he mentioned studying.

Oh, by the way, Zhao Ce is one of his cousins, one of the famous playboys of the Zhao family. I heard from his grandfather that he took the talent recruitment exam four times and tried Zhao Hanzhang’s back door but failed to become an official. Now, Zhao Song was looking for a way out everywhere, but Zhao Song felt that he had wasted a good name.

Zhao Shen withdrew his gaze, looked up at Zhao Hanzhang, and smiled slightly, "Shen, meet the general."

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and waved: "Cousin Shen, you're welcome. Please sit down."

Zhao Hanzhang's time was precious, so he didn't exchange too many greetings and asked directly, "How is my cousin feeling well? Can he travel?"

Zhao Shen paused for a moment, swallowed the words on his lips, and then answered honestly: "It's fine now and you can travel."

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said: "My cousin has made great contributions to the country and is a talented general. I am very pleased with him, so I want to hire my cousin as the Minister of War."

Zhao Shen was slightly stunned, "Secretary of the Ministry of War?"

"Yes," Zhao Hanzhang searched on the table and handed him an official document to read, "I plan to slightly change the official system in order to handle world affairs so that officials will not neglect their duties and the people will live in peace."

Zhao Shen opened it and looked at it. The excerpt should have been written by Zhao Hanzhang himself. He had seen Zhao Hanzhang's letter from his father, and the handwriting was the same.

The excerpt states that since the Eastern Han Dynasty when six caos were used to govern the country, the titles of various officials have changed from time to time, causing the people to be unclear about the officials' responsibilities, and even the officials themselves sometimes are not clear about their respective powers and responsibilities.

Local officials often committed abuses. Now that the world is stable, Zhao Hanzhang hopes that the rights and responsibilities of each official can be clarified. If there is something wrong in the local area in the future, no one can be found to hold him accountable, and rewards will not be in place.

She changed the Six Cao Cao into six ministries, and the fifth Bing Cao Cao was changed to the Ministry of War, which together with the other five ministries obeyed the orders of Shangshu. In addition, she also clarified the responsibilities of the Zhongshu Province and the Menxia Province. After all, there were too many state affairs. She doesn’t want to die young, so she wants to decentralize the government system.

As for her, if she can't be the emperor for the time being, she can be the prime minister for the time being. She can oversee the affairs of the government and manage all officials, which is justifiable.

"I have read the "Ten Guides on Military Training" written by cousin Shen for Uncle Ming. I agree with some of the views in it. With my cousin's talents, he has been appointed as the Minister of War."

Zhao Shen swallowed, his heart moved shamefully.

He stared at Zhao Hanzhang with sharp eyes and asked, "Which of the Ten Essays does the General think is most satisfactory?"

"Gathering troops," Zhao Hanzhang said: "Raising troops in the fields, serving as soldiers in wartime, farming in farming time, training troops in leisure time, and supporting them with elite troops is one of the best ways to raise troops today."

Zhao Shen's eyes became brighter and brighter.

This was a letter he wrote to his father the year before last. Although he and his father always missed letters, most of the letters he sent back were sent back. After all, he was mobile and did not have a home.

That was what he wrote to his father after hearing about Zhao Jiajun's reputation.

He had heard about the power of the Zhao family's army as far away as Shu, so he naturally knew that the Zhao family had undergone major changes and was no longer what it used to be.

But the more this happened, the more worried he became.

Raising troops can protect oneself, but it is a double-edged sword, and it is very likely that it will cut oneself after being prosperous for a while.

Zhao Shen thought about how to keep the family long-term, at least not to be hurt by this sharp sword.

Even people like Wang Yan had to worry about the survival of the family. Zhao Shen was not exempt from the common custom. After thinking over and over again, his advice to the family was to tie the troops to the land.

As Chinese people, no matter what class they belong to, they have a deep affection for the land.

The best way to control the soldiers is to tie them to the land. This will not only reassure the soldiers, but also solve part of the food and grass problem so that the Zhao family will not be overwhelmed by the army.

Half of Zhao Hanzhang's current financial difficulties come from the huge expenditure of the army.
