In front of Ye Hua, dozens of young people stood upright. They all tried to straighten their chests and look more energetic.

Ye Hua had a dark face, walked from the left to the right, and then from the right to the left. His sharp eyes made several people feel creepy.

Zhao Yusheng, who was standing first, couldn't stand it anymore. He felt like a new recruit who made a mistake during the exercise.

"Mr. Marquis, what's wrong with the humble ranks? Please give me advice and we will definitely correct it!"

The others also nodded, "Yes, Marquis, everyone is a soldier, and they are straightforward. Even if they are equipped with swords and axes, we will not frown!"

Ye Hua finally stopped and he sighed.

"You are people who have made contributions, of course you didn't make any mistakes. I'm afraid I'm wrong and pushed you all into the fire pit!" Ye Hua seemed worried.

The soldier next to Zhao Yusheng called Xie Meng. He shook his head hard and said in disbelief: "The Marquis will not harm us, I am afraid that we will not be able to complete the Marquis' mission, which will embarrass the brothers in the army!"

Ye Hua finally smiled, "Of course I am happy that you can think so, but it's easy to say but difficult to do. The next task I give you is too heavy, I'm really afraid that you can't handle it!"

Zhao Yusheng slapped his chest and said unconvincedly: "Mr. Marquis, brothers are not afraid of death, what else can I do!"

Ye Hua shook his head, "The most difficult thing in this world is death, but the easiest thing is death. You all crawl out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood. Death is just a matter of closing your eyes with one sword and one eye. The task I give you is to work hard for decades, manage yourself well, and manage your family and friends. There are countless pairs of eyes staring at you. As long as there is a little mistake, someone will jump out, speak out, pick on others, insult, accusate and accusate. In short, any means will come to you!"

Listening to Ye Hua's words, Zhao Yusheng and others couldn't help but change their colors and swallowed with difficulty, "Marty, how about changing a few people?"

Ye Hua glared at them and said angrily: "If you get on the pirate ship, you can't get off. You will be the ones who live or die, no one can escape!"

Several people dared not talkatively anymore. Xie Meng scratched his head, "Marquis, you are talking so seriously. I don't know what we want to do?"

"What I asked you to do is to be this official!" Ye Hua said seriously.

Zhao Yusheng breathed a lot, just this one, he thought it was going up to the knife mountain and down the oil pan!

He was puzzled, "Marty, what's the difficult thing? It's a duty to do one's duty, and we will definitely do it well!"

Ye Hua chuckled and looked at the others, "I guess you have the same idea as him? But I want to tell you that serving as an official with military merits has disappeared for almost a thousand years! You are also the first batch in a thousand years. Do you think it's important?"

These more than a dozen people were so scared by Ye Hua that they changed their faces and colors. I can't believe that the first batch in a thousand years is too exaggerated, right?

Not to mention the distance, Ye Hua was named the champion Marquis and served as the governor of Xiong'an Army through military merits. In any case, they were not among the first batch!

Ye Hua shook his head, these stupid boys, how can you understand the key?

Awarding titles for military merits is a popular practice in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Among them, the Qin Dynasty's twenty-level military merits and title system was the most famous. It was precisely through this set of motivational methods that the tiger and wolf army of the Qin Dynasty could sweep across the Liuhe River and unify the world.

According to Shang Yang's reform, soldiers of Qin State could obtain a first-level title and give a hectare of land if they seized the enemy's "armor" and gave a house and a servant. The more heads they killed, the higher the title they received, the greater the corresponding power, and they could be exempted from corvee service, not worshipping officials, and even directly held important positions in the court.

After this set of military merits was implemented, the Qin soldiers were brave in public wars, afraid of private fighting, and were fierce and brave in wars. They swept away the six countries and completely ended the era of feudal divisions and pushed history to the dynasty era. You must know that this feat was two thousand years ahead of the world.

It was not until 1806 that the West forced Franz II to dissolve the Holy Roman Empire and give up the title of emperor. This action was about the same as the Qin State swallowing two Zhous and taking off the title of King Zhou. Then Qin State wiped out the six kingdoms, unifying the world, abolishing the feudals, and exercising counties, but Nahuang was defeated by Waterloo... So the East maintained a unified empire that had been for more than two thousand years, and the West was still a mess of sand, with dozens of countries fighting each other and unable to see the days of unification!

The power of military merit titles is definitely at the level of nuclear weapons.

The Han Dynasty inherited the old system of the Qin Dynasty and implemented similar systems.

However, with peace in the world, the system of reincarnation of military achievements and the system of awarding titles was in name only.

The imperial court used the election of officials, recruitment, ninth rank Zhongzheng, and even the imperial examination.

Although there have been generals who have gradually promoted and held important positions through military merits, and even granted marquis and kings, this is aimed at individuals, not all soldiers, nor are they surrendering, but just a few generals.

The soldiers who made meritorious decapitation only received money or were promoted to official positions, and there was no other treatment. They were completely incomparable to the grand work of winning every time the Qin and Han dynasties, which was completely incomparable to millions of people who were rewarded and awarded titles.

Someone is going to ask, what did Ye Hua do this time?

He gave Chai Rong the advice that the meritorious soldiers would enter the local yamen and serve as minor officials.

The influence of this move is definitely no worse than military merits, or even worse!

Take the dozen people in front of Ye Hua for example.

Zhao Yusheng killed eight Shatu soldiers, returned to the local area, served as county magistrates, responsible for arresting thieves and maintaining public order. He was the highest official position among these people.

The others are responsible for warehouses, prisons, road construction, tax collection, and each performs its duties...

In each of the twelve Hedong states, each of them needs at least a few hundred officials. In other words, this time, thousands of meritorious soldiers will be awarded official positions.

Of course, the army also needs talents, and there are many meritorious soldiers who are unwilling to be minor officials. If they deduct these people, they will at least take out more than 2,000 people from the army and enrich them to yamen at all levels.

Their positions are not high and their power are not great, and it seems irrelevant, but don’t forget that too many ants can kill elephants. Among these people, as long as one tenth or one percent can climb to the level of county magistrates or higher, it is enough to impact the civil service system and form a situation of competing with the imperial examination literati.

They started their careers with military merits and were born to be an alliance with the martial artist. With these people, if the civil servants want to bully the military, they have to consider whether they have the strength.

For ordinary people, if you want to become an official and make a name for themselves, there will be one more way. In addition to the imperial examination, you can also join the army, make military achievements, and then serve as a minor official in the local area... From the top, the county magistrates are all sesame officials, but from the bottom, even ordinary yamen runners are still an enviable official!

There are definitely countless people who are eager to see it.

Moreover, this will attract more excellent people to join the army and greatly improve the status of warriors. In short, there are many benefits.

"The so-called success of a general has been destroyed, and how many brothers can survive to the level of a general?" Ye Huayu said earnestly: "The battlefield is a battle, and the sword is eyeless. It is only a few years for the time to be a soldier. You can't be old and weak, and you can fight to the death with swords and guns! It is even more impossible for all brothers who have made meritorious service to be promoted to generals. Leaving the army and going to the place to serve as minor officials is a way out for everyone. Your Majesty is kind and merciful to everyone, and agrees with my suggestion. You are the first batch of meritorious people to serve as officials."

"You can do well, become capable officials, honest officials, and become examples in the world. I can justify myself and let the saints arrange more meritorious brothers to the yamen, kill enemies on the battlefield, and go home to become officials. Who dares to look down on the martial arts?"

Ye Hua said again: "If you don't do shame, be corrupt, abuse the law, be fooled by profit, and cannot bear the responsibility, and you will lose your post and dismiss your post, it will be nothing great, but other brothers will never have a chance again. They can only endure hardships in the army, or go back and suffer the sanctions of others. Do you understand?"
