In the Heavens

Stepping on the tail of summer, step into the sun-baked military camp. There are chattering complaints in the ears, which is enough to see the intensity of everyone's resistance.

Originally, Li Mu planned to continue salting fish at home, but in order to reduce everyone's resistance, Tang Guogong specially summoned the military officers to discuss the matter, and ordered everyone to participate.

Although the colleagues' interest was not very high, they still greeted each other normally, and Li Muxuan's heart was mostly relieved. It seems that it is still valuable to do a good job of keeping secrets.

If the relationship with the instigator is exposed, let alone a warm greeting, those who do not fight are life and death friends.

Everyone lived a comfortable life in the imperial capital. Sending them out to eat dirt at this time would make anyone feel uncomfortable.

Especially for those with family members, sending them out of Beijing to quell the rebellion is to separate their wives and children. It is estimated that the distance between life and death is not far away.

...

"I am waiting for you to be honored by the emperor. Today, the world is in chaos, with chaotic parties and demons everywhere. This is the beginning of our service to the emperor.

You are the noble elites, and they are all the pillars of the country. This is the critical autumn of the Great Zhou, the emperor summons the world's wise men to calm the world, are you willing to serve? "

As soon as Tang Guogong's voice fell, there was a burst of sincerity from below.

"We are willing to do the work of dogs and horses!"

It's a pity that although these nurses roar loudly, their number is too small in the officer corps of thousands of people.

No matter how hard they tried to keep the rhythm, everyone just kept silent. Kidnapping by righteousness, motivating the spirit, fooling the sophomores is fine, but it is not enough to deal with this group of old fritters.

Looking at the unmoved group of subordinates, Yang Shuo's face darkened instantly. He gritted his teeth, as if making up his mind.

"From now on, all those who take the initiative to sign up for release: they will all be promoted to two ranks, and they will be given priority to work near the capital! If there is a place they want to go to, we will try our best to coordinate.

You are clear about my reputation. On the court side, the old man went to say it in person. Even if you fight for the position of commander-in-chief, I will honor the promise I made to you! "

With his rich life experience, Li Mu could tell at a glance that Tang Guogong above was an old actor.

Everyone knows the structure of the officialdom in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but wherever the conditions are good, officials have long been full. It's too late to abolish redundant staff, so how could they still have their place.

The main reason for releasing them was to suppress the rebellion, and the secondary condition was that the emperor disliked the imperial army. Since it's counterinsurgency, how can anyone stay around the capital?

I'm afraid that this job is done nearby, and that is also a unit of thousands of miles. Judging from the huge territory of the Great Zhou Empire, three to five thousand miles can be regarded as nearby, and remote areas are all 100,000 miles away.

As for the place of coordination, that is purely a joke. If everyone is allowed to choose for themselves, wouldn't they all lean towards their own family's fief?

If the imperial court dared to agree, it would probably take a few years for the Great Zhou Empire to be swallowed up by the princes secretly.

Excluding these empty promises, in terms of official positions, this wave has indeed taken care of them. Normal Beijing officials are promoted to a higher level, and exceptional promotions are almost non-existent.

Now if you take the initiative to sign up, you will be promoted to two levels. The court's generosity is far beyond Li Mu's expectations. However, this also reflects the critical situation of the local situation from the side.

Perhaps the Tang Guogong in front of him also contributed. After all, he was forcing everyone to take office. If he didn't appease him in the official position, maybe these people would go on strike and quit.

Dazhou didn't have an officer training mechanism, so if you don't need these noble children, who else can you use?

These guys in the Forbidden Army seem to have mediocre abilities, but in fact they are already more capable within the Xungui Group. Pure waste can't meet the selection criteria.

It turns out, or the actual stuff works. When we were playing Dayi Kidnapping just now, there were only a group of nurses shouting their flags; now that Xu Yi is making a lot of money, the number of people who are ready to make a move has increased a lot in an instant.

Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men, Li Mu can guarantee that if the imperial court can continue to improve the conditions, most of them will be tempted.

Seeking wealth and wealth in danger is an eternal truth. The old fritters chose to lie flat because they were forced to do nothing by life.

Although everyone is the son of Xungui, there are so many children in the Xungui family, and the internal competition is full of competition.

However, Da Zhou's officialdom is also extremely dark. If the ability to drill business is mediocre, and the political resources allocated to him are insufficient, there is little hope of being promoted purely by relying on seniority.

If you stay in place for more than ten or twenty years without seeing any hope of rising, you can only choose salted fish.

Of course, if the interests are large enough, everyone can still fight. Even if it is a salted fish, it is a salted fish that can stand up.

Seeing someone stepping forward to sign up, Li Songyue on the side was also eager to try, "Thirteenth brother, should we go sign up?"

Obviously, it is also tempting for him to advance two levels in a row. Because of the longevity of practitioners, the officials of the Great Zhou Empire had a very low frequency of replacement.

Regardless of the fact that the three brothers are now in Qianhu, according to the normal promotion rhythm, it would be good to be promoted to a level within ten years.

Someone like Li Mu with sharp political vision, good personal ability and good interpersonal relationship, as long as the family puts a little effort into it, they won't have to worry about finding a good position.

If Li Song's eyesight is not enough, then there is no other way. 10 points of political resources are invested, and at most 5 points can be reaped in return.

He didn't feel it when he was at home, but when he was in the barracks, Li Song could clearly feel the difference.

Among other things, just looking at the attitude of the people who greeted the three brothers along the way, you can tell how they are doing in the barracks.

Wealthy families are the most realistic, limited political resources, and in the end they must be inclined to the children with the highest rate of return.

When it comes to officialdom, it is no longer the wife of the Hou family who decides the allocation of political resources, but Dingyuanhou himself and a group of elders.

There is not only competition between brothers, but also competition with cousins. The three brothers are only one step ahead temporarily, and this gap is not irreparable.

The three of them supported each other, not only to have a good relationship, but also to maintain this advantage.

After all, the cultivation of the younger generation by a big family depends not only on ability, but also on personal conduct and conduct.

If you can't even handle the relationship between brothers and sisters well, and you can't do the most basic brotherhood, how can you expect such a person to repay the family?

Glancing at the surrounding situation, Li Mu said slowly: "Wait a minute, it's still early, so don't rush to express your opinion.

We know too little information, let's wait and see the situation first. If the court suddenly made such a promise, something big must happen.

You might as well go inquire on your own first, find out what happened, and then make a decision. "

While speaking, Li Mu had already started to move his footsteps, walking towards the small circle he joined.

...

After exchanging some polite greetings, Li Mu couldn't help but tentatively said: "Brothers, my younger brother is recuperating at home recently, and I haven't paid attention to the court affairs.

The imperial court was so anxious to transfer all of us out of Beijing to suppress the rebellion, and even went so far as to break the convention and make an exception for promotion. I don't know what happened? "

The more rigid a society is, the harder it is to break the routine. An exceptional promotion of a person will cause a backlash from all civil and military officials, not to mention the transfer of thousands of people at the same time.

If you can't get the support of hundreds of officials in the court, even if the emperor issued an imperial edict, you can still be blocked.

Logically speaking, once this kind of matter is brought to the court for discussion, there will be an uproar immediately, and there is no reason why the Dingyuan Hou Mansion cannot receive news.

Li Mu couldn't help but think about it. For any wealthy family, losing their eyes and ears in court means the beginning of disaster.

The bearded man on the side said angrily: "What can happen, it's not that the reformists and conservatives are fighting each other, and Chiyu has been affected by me.

It's just that Mr. Tang is really stubborn. In order to lure us out of Beijing, he dared to offer such a condition, which made me a little tempted. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the young captain who looked like a scholar at the side sneered unceremoniously: "Don't worry about the bearded man. Although Mr. Tang's promise is tempting, you have to live to enjoy it!"

"Brother Zhou, how do you say this?"

Li Mu asked cooperatively.

Without showing off, Captain Zhou said with a sneer: "Don't look at Mr. Tang as if he was going all out just now, but he actually did it for us to see.

Before yesterday, anyone who dared to break the conventional promise: to be promoted beyond the rules, would be drowned by the spittle of all officials, but now everything is different.

Loushan County fell last night, hundreds of thousands of imperial court elite troops were annihilated, and two golden elixir enshrined died!

This is the biggest loss for the imperial court in the past thousand years. From now on, the rebel army will no longer be a mob that only fights in small ways, but a powerful force that will attack states and counties and kill the Golden Core Grandmaster.

Last night, the emperor summoned officials of the third rank and above into the palace overnight to discuss the aftermath of the fall of Loushan County. It is estimated that the Yuanshen warriors will be dispatched next.

As for the matter in Loushan County, once is enough, and the court must not allow it to happen a second time.

You can know the overall situation by looking at one place. Although the officials in the court are pedantic, they are not stupid. The local situation has reached the verge of collapse, and promotion is naturally nothing. "

Li Mu was startled at first after hearing Captain Zhou's words, and then breathed a sigh of relief. It doesn't matter if someone targets him, he is really afraid of being sacrificed by the protagonist.

It is almost inevitable that the rebel forces will grow stronger. The anti-Zhou movement has been going on for thousands of years, and it is not surprising that the rebels have accumulated this wealth.

It's a pity that these guys are still a little too hasty. The early citrons rot first, and as the most popular anti-Zhou force, they are bound to receive a thunderous blow from the Great Zhou Empire.

Glancing at everyone's reactions, Li Mu pretended to be panicked and said, "Oops, the target of the rebels is the Southeast Grand Canal! Maybe they have already started to attack, and the court will be in big trouble next."

Seemingly satisfied with Li Mu's reaction, Colonel Zhou nodded and said, "It's still Li Xiandi who has the insight to see the real purpose of the rebels at a glance!

Loushan County is located in the center of Kyushu, where the southeast Grand Canal meets. If the rebels destroy the Grand Canal, the water transportation lines in the southeastern states will directly collapse.

Not only will the economy of the southeastern states be in turmoil, but the tens of millions of grain grains that were supposed to enter Beijing after the autumn harvest will also be put on hold.

Without this batch of food, the counter-insurgency operations in northern Xinjiang will become more difficult and even forced to stop.

It is not a day or two for the rebels in various places to join forces with each other. I'm afraid they will continue to make big moves in the future! "

Although this is the world of high martial arts, and masters have the ability to open mountains and split rivers, it seems that it is not difficult to construct the Grand Canal.

But destruction is easier than construction. If the rebels destroy the 180-meter canal, they may send a few experts there, and it will be dredged in a short time.

But what they destroyed was not a hundred or eighty meters, but a section of river that was hundreds or even thousands of miles away. Even if Yuanshen Warrior is used as a tool man, it won't work out for a while.

In fact, it is impossible for such a high-level warrior to do such a shameless thing. His status is not much lower than that of Zhou Tianzi, and the Great Zhou Empire can't afford that price.

The Grand Canal can run through more than ten states in the southeast, and it is mainly carried by ordinary laborers. Even if the great people have the ability, they will not be coolies.
