Thinking of the next strategic focus, Lin Daguan said tentatively: "Yangzhou?"
Like a novice guiding the NPC, Yu Langzhong responded mechanically: "Within the boundaries of Yangzhou, the guard system includes Yangzhou Guard and Gaoyou Guard, and the town garrison system includes Tongzhou Langshan Deputy General Barracks, Yizheng Guard Camp, Guazhou Guard Camp, and Taizhou Guards.
Coast Guard Camp, etc.”
Official Lin clicked the option with great interest: "Yangzhou Guard!"
If you were to be a military attaché in the Yangzhou Guard, with at least a thousand soldiers under your command, coupled with the support of the Ministry of Revenue and the support of the Suzhou base camp, wouldn't it be easy to dominate the Yangzhou salt industry?
"Wait a minute!" Shen Yongmao, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up, interrupting Lin Daguanren's game operation.
Official Lin looked at Shen Yongmao doubtfully, "Don't you want to talk too much?"
Shen Yongmao couldn't help but remind Lin Tailai: "Please wake up, after you become an official, you can't leave the territory at will!"
In other words, if you serve as an official in Yangzhou Guard, you cannot leave Yangzhou without being sent by the imperial court.
Do you just want to stay in Yangzhou in the future and don’t want to go back to Suzhou?”
Lin Tailai: "."
It seems reasonable. Suzhou is the base camp. It has only been a year since the foundation was established. It is not yet unbreakable. It is impossible not to return to Suzhou.
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Tailai asked Dr. Yu: "Is there an official position in Yangzhou and Suzhou that includes both Yangzhou and Suzhou?"
What kind of greedy request is this? Yu Langzhong was speechless for a long time, and then replied: "Yes, he was the governor of Zhejiang Province back then, but he was not a military attache."
Lin Daguan sighed: "I thought I had the courage of Jin Bu, but now that the world is peaceful, there is no suitable position."
Then he slapped his butt and wanted to leave, but he lost his freedom in choosing officials, so he decided not to choose.
Yiyu Langzhong, a fifty-year-old Chengfu, was also made angry by Lin Daguan.
When others come to ask for an official position, they are always careful to please them in every possible way, for fear of being thrown into a place they don't want to go.
This Lin Zhuangyuan was picky and didn't take it seriously. He showed too little respect for his profession!
So Yu Langzhong couldn't bear it and said: "Lin Zhuangyuan! If you don't choose an official, how can you get promoted? Isn't it a waste to become the number one scholar?"
Lin Daguan said proudly: "I am the first of three Suzhou liberal arts county examinations, government examinations, and road examinations. Can't you go back to your hometown and continue studying?"
Mr. Yu took a deep breath, this man is so terrifying!
Shen Yongmao stood up and complained: "If you don't choose officials, wouldn't my help be in vain?
Unlike civil servants, military attachés can return to their hometown to serve, but you don't cherish the opportunity to return home in glory."
Official Lin was about to say something when he suddenly heard Yu Langzhong say: "I can create an official position in a reasonable and legal way so that Lin Zhuangyuan can travel freely between the south and the north of the Yangtze River."
Lin Daguan immediately turned around and said with a warm invitation: "It's too late for me to meet the old gentleman. We'll meet you tonight at Goulan Hutong, Xiyuan, Jiaofang. I'll be your host!"
Langzhong Yu explained: "There are three guards and seven battalions in the entire Suzhou Prefecture, and the ones stationed in Suzhou City are the Suzhou Guards.
If he returns to Suzhou City to take up a post, according to the system, Lin Zhuangyuan can at least be awarded the Suzhou Wei Zheng fifth rank, one thousand households.
However, the Suzhou Guards were also responsible for transporting grain, so it was reasonable to set up officials to supervise.
Therefore, Lin Zhuangyuan might as well serve as the Suzhou Guard Qianhu, supervise the transportation and direct the Qianshi. Such a fifth-grade official plus a fourth-grade dispatch is worthy of the status of number one scholar.
And the most appropriate thing is that by supervising the transportation of grain, we can travel between the south and north of the Yangtze River, Suzhou and Yangzhou without any problem."
Hearing this, Officer Lin felt extremely satisfied. Isn't this a tailor-made official position?
Then he smiled and said repeatedly: "Very good! I'll ask the old gentleman for a monthly subscription!"
Shen Yongmao said it right. One thing that makes military attachés slightly more comfortable than civilian officials is that they can return to their hometown to serve.
In addition, the rank of a military officer is quite high. He, the top military scholar, can start directly at rank 4 or 5, which is unthinkable in the civil service system.
As for the saying that the civil servants are noble and the military officials are inferior, nowadays there is a phenomenon of military officers being bullied by civil servants. Lin Daguan felt that no civil servants in Suzhou City could bully him, so it would be good if he did not bully civil servants.
It seems that the Ming Dynasty did not stipulate that military attaches were not allowed to take the imperial examination. They could serve as military attaches while studying at the county school.
Work as a military attache for a year or two to gain practical benefits, then resign to take part in the provincial examination and climb to the top of politics. There is nothing wrong with your plan!
Looking at the face of Senior Official Lin at this time, Shen Yongmao couldn't help but think of another senior official in a recently popular book with golden letters, who also dominated the place with the excuse of punishing thousands of households.
Chapter completed!
