The veteran transfer system advocated by Zhu Ying has recently set off a craze in the court.

With the continuous improvement of the regulations, the number of civil servants has begun to grow.

Private discussions are even more common.

The representative among them is Liu Sanwu.

"What does this mean? Let those soldiers retire and directly become the heads of the Yamen's policemen. This is to use military generals to suppress civil servants."

"From now on, what's the point of us being scholars? Studying is not as good as being a soldier. It's ridiculous, extremely ridiculous!"

In the Hanlin Academy, Liu Sanwu was furious.

He would definitely not dare to say it in the morning, but this did not prevent him from losing his temper in the Hanlin Academy.

Liu Sanwu is famous and old.

Although he is only a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, he feels like an uncrowned king.

In the circle of literati, qualifications are even more important.

After all, as far as the Hanlin Academy is concerned, most of the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy have to practice discipleship when facing Liu Sanwu.

"Sir, please stop saying a few words. These are the regulations set by His Majesty. You see Master Ru Yuru, the Minister of War, you have no choice but to act according to your orders."

"Besides, His Majesty barely asked us to discuss it this time and just decided it."

Some other Hanlin Academy scholars advised.

The retirement of veterans, to put it simply, seems to improve the treatment of soldiers, but on the other hand, it also lowers the status of scholars.

For many scholars, if they want to become successful, they naturally become officials.

This is currently the fastest way out for many students, and it is also the only choice to change themselves.

No matter who he is, he only needs to pass the boy test and gain the title of scholar, and he will be transformed into a privileged person.

But now there is another way out.

Be a soldier.

Being a soldier can also be an official.

Some people may wonder, if you win battles as a soldier and become a general, isn't that the same as being an official?

I know very well that one general can achieve the goal of destroying thousands of bones.

Especially after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, most of the former heroes were hereditary.

For ordinary people, it is already an existence that is out of reach.

If you become a soldier again, you will just be a big-headed soldier.

During the Ming Dynasty's farming system, military households were also soldiers.

But the release of the retirement regulations means that being a soldier is guaranteed.

This is equivalent to decentralizing a separate department from the hands of the county magistrate.

Don't underestimate the position of police officer, patrol officer.

Previously, people were directly appointed by the county magistrate, and whoever was appointed would be appointed. The salary was not low, and they also had power. For ordinary people, that was an official, although it was actually a servant.

Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, there are basically no poor spies.

At least you don't have to worry about eating. Even in the capital, the patrolmen of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division can just grab ordinary breakfast from the stalls.

As for whether to give money or not, it all depends on your mood.

In other words, if they really wanted to give it to them, the vendors wouldn’t dare to ask for it.

There are also benefits from gangs and a series of other benefits.

I won’t say that I am rich and wealthy, but I definitely have no worries about food and clothing.

This is also why Liu Sanwu loses his temper.

"No, I must report to His Majesty. This must not be done. This will destroy the foundation of scholars. Over time, there will be many students studying hard."

"Studying is not as good as being a soldier. What will the Ming Dynasty be like in the future?"

"I'm old and old, and I won't live for more than a few years. If I can save my life in this matter and let His Majesty know about it, it will be worth it."

As Liu Sanwu talked, his tone became excited.

A former student of Liu Sanwu stood nearby and bowed deeply: "Sir, I will never dare to follow you. If you, sir, submit a memorial to Your Majesty, please add my name in the memorial."

After the bachelor finished speaking, everyone around him was moved.

Someone took the lead, and immediately the second bachelor also stood up, followed by the third and fourth.

Soon, the voices in the Hanlin Academy became louder and louder.

"Okay! Okay! Okay! I am not alone in my path!"

"But for this matter, it is enough for me to report it to you alone. Such an alliance may easily make His Majesty feel that he is trying to force the palace. On the contrary, it will spoil the matter."

Seeing everyone's support, Liu Sanwu was delighted. However, Liu Sanwu, who had been ups and downs in the officialdom, finally understood His Majesty's temperament.

If everyone really names them, this Hanlin Academy may even have to change the grass.

Your Majesty's kind of people are not going to give in if the literati stick together, they will only get angry and lead to tragedy.

Just when Liu Sanwu was about to act, a white-faced bachelor came forward and said: "Sir, I heard that this matter was first raised by His Highness Changsun."

Having said this, the white-faced bachelor immediately silenced himself.

However, the originally lively atmosphere among Liu Sanwu and other bachelors suddenly became quiet.

The matter of His Highness Changsun is already an open secret in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the upper circles of the capital.

Since it is a secret, it is also a royal secret.

Even if everyone knows it, they don't dare to mention it in public. They only dare to make friends and discuss it privately.

His Majesty hasn't spoken yet. Everyone knows that this matter involves royal inheritance, and no one wants to touch it too much.

"Are you sure? This news comes from this. Don't just talk nonsense."

Liu Sanwu waved his hand, called the white-faced bachelor to his side, and asked in a low voice.

"It's absolutely true. Sir, I don't know. Some time ago, Li Weiliang and Li Hanlin and I were ordered to be brought by eunuchs to Kunning Palace to meet with His Highness Changsun to explain the classics of the Song Dynasty."

"Li Hanlin was appreciated by His Highness and soared to the sky. Now he is the companion of His Highness Changsun. He can enter and exit Kunning Palace freely. His Majesty has not announced this matter yet, but I think it will come soon."

Having said this, the white-faced bachelor's eyes flashed with envy, jealousy, and some resentment.

Obviously the two of them went together, but Li Weiliang was appreciated, but he didn't get any benefits, and he felt a little unwilling.

After a slight pause, the white-faced bachelor continued: "Sir, I have a close relationship with Li Weiliang, a classmate and friend, and I learned that he is also participating in the veterans' retirement charter."

"So in my opinion, this matter has a deep connection with His Highness Changsun. After all, this matter has never happened before in the previous dynasties, and it is a precedent in history."

After hearing this, Liu Sanwu began to think in his eyes.

It’s not that Liu Sanwu is afraid of His Highness Changsun but not His Majesty.

It's because some things have completely different meanings once they involve the prince.

His simple recital will be interpreted by His Majesty as having other thoughts.

And if a new king comes to power in the future, he may adopt a new national policy. It is difficult to go against such political trends, and usually you will have to pay a bloody price.

Liu Sanwu nodded and said: "Since Li Hanlin has become His Highness Changsun's companion, there are some things that he must know clearly in his heart."

"This matter concerns scholars all over the world. Where is Li Hanlin now? I want to have a chat with him and see what he thinks."

When the white-faced bachelor heard this, he felt very unhappy. It was obvious that Mr. Sanwu had already taken Li Weiliang seriously.

He could only reply helplessly: "At this time, Li Hanlin should be in Kunning Palace."

Liu Sanwu nodded lightly and said: "Tell me when he comes back, and I will go and visit him."

At this moment, I no longer mention the matter that I wanted to advise His Majesty just now.

When the white-faced bachelor heard that even Mr. Sango had become so polite, the resentment in his eyes deepened.

...

For civil servants or scholars, veteran retirement protection is bad news.

But this is completely different for generals or veterans.

Especially in the major military camps, many soldiers became extremely excited. When they received the news, many people kowtowed in the direction of the palace to express their thanks.

In the Beijing camp, a veteran said very happily: "Your Majesty is really a wise man. In this way, we don't have to worry about our future. If we go back to the local area and work in the Public Security Bureau, it can be regarded as an official."

"

Someone knowledgeable said: "This is not an official, but a yamen servant. I haven't heard of him being given a higher rank directly."

"You know what you are doing," the veteran argued.

"What about the yamen servants? The Public Security Bureau must have given the official rank, but even if you are a yamen servant, it is very good. It is better than digging in the dirt. Walking out on the street is also extremely prestigious."
