Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 202
Although Xun seems easy, it is actually more important than loose ranks, because he can be with him for a lifetime. The difference with the title is that he cannot inherit it, but this is also a heavy reward.The nobles looked at the prince differently. Could it be that His Royal Highness is about to confer titles on a large scale, and this time the honors have already started, so will the title be far behind?
The Imperial Warrior Medal was personally awarded by Zhu Houzhao, the prince of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Houzhao didn't do anything wrong, and awarded the reward according to the procedure.

Of course, this is not the end. Zhu Houzhao still has to give a speech. The moment Zhu Houzhao took the stage, the scene was completely silent, even the sound of breathing became much quieter.

There was no applause, but Zhu Houzhao's expression was still very serious. His eyes swept over the Black Dragon Army under the stage, and Zhu Houzhao said softly: "In the Northwest War, you fought bloody battles with this palace. You are all my palace's robes. Since you are Pao Ze, then I will tell the truth today. That is, being an official thousands of miles away is only for making money, which means that being an official thousands of miles away from home is just to get rich."

"Some people say that being an official is to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, not to get rich. If you want to get rich, then don't be an official." Zhu Houzhao continued with a serious face and said: "But how many people can really do it? The so-called gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way." , as long as the money comes from the right way, then I think there is nothing wrong with it, like you, your money came from the right way."

"Being in the army is a lot of suffering, and the head is pinned to the waistband. It is true that you are loyal to the king and serving the country, but the king and the country can't let you down."

As Zhu Houzhao said, he turned his body sideways, turned around and pointed to the nobles who were sitting there: "Did you see these nobles? Their ancestors made contributions to Daming, how did Ming treat them? Rest with the country, what is the name of the kingdom? Tongxiu means that unless one day Daming is gone, they will have a share of the glory and wealth."

"It's the same with you. I hope that after many years, you can sit here and award medals and rewards from the court to the soldiers who have done meritorious service."

"The money you get is in exchange for killing the enemy. You can spend it as much as you want. You can buy land and buy real estate. You can marry a concubine when you go home. This is rewarded by Daming and you deserve it. In the future Kill enemies and make meritorious deeds, and prosperity and wealth are waiting for you."

Zhu Houzhao's words are very provocative. To put it bluntly, he is telling these people to work hard, as long as they kill the enemy and make meritorious service, they will have money, status, and everything.

Everyone in the Black Dragon Army below looked very excited. If there were no previous rewards, His Royal Highness might be talking empty words, but now these benefits have all been realized in real terms.If Zhu Houzhao is saying such things, then he is not painting big cakes, but sincerely, how could he not be excited?
The nobles also raised their waists one by one. Did you see, how well His Royal Highness said, this represents His Royal Highness's attitude towards Xungui, how could they be unhappy?
Zhu Houzhao turned his head and pointed at the nobles again, the expression on his face seemed a little excited. Naturally, it is impossible for Zhu Houzhao to let these nobles show their faces and go back. This is absolutely impossible, and we must make the best use of them , people do their best.Zhu Houzhao didn't continue until the mood below calmed down a little.

"Today you have made meritorious service to the country, and the Ming Dynasty's Martial Academy will be established soon. Soldiers who have won the Imperial Warrior Medal can enroll one of their children to study in the Martial Academy."

"You may not know what the Martial Academy is. I tell you that the Martial Academy is the place where bow horse riding and archery are taught, and all the honorable children present are going to go, but they want to take the assessment, but you don't need it. Yours Children can enroll directly in Enyin. I can put it more bluntly, after the children enroll, if they can graduate from the martial arts academy and start with a hundred households, they can become a hundred households when they come out."

This is the cake painted by Zhu Houzhao. As the saying goes, it is easy to enter and difficult to exit. You can enter the martial arts academy, but it is not so easy to graduate.

As for Xungui's children who need to be assessed, it's even simpler. If your son doesn't live up to his expectations and fail the exam, then you should do meritorious service and enroll in Enyin, otherwise your son will not be able to get in.

All the nobles present knew that what His Royal Highness said meant that the generals in the army would have to graduate from the martial arts academy in the future. If you didn't graduate from the martial arts academy, you might not even be able to enter the army.If you are a noble family, if you cannot enter the army, then you will only have an empty title left. How many generations can you maintain?Who will see you in the eyes?

Especially the dukes and marquises had very unsightly faces. If they failed the exam, it would not only be a matter of benefits, but a matter of face.

You are an honorable family, Duke and Lord, if your children can't even get into the Martial Arts Academy, how dare you call yourself a general?Is it Xungui?At that time, it will probably become a joke.

Under such circumstances, these nobles looked at the nephews and nephews they brought with them, their eyes and expressions changed, and they made up their minds in their hearts. They must practice hard after returning home. If they fail the exam, they will be ashamed. up.Although it's better to hug Buddha's feet temporarily, it's better than not hugging at all!As for those honorable children, all of them turned pale and swallowed.

"I'm afraid it's going to be bad!"

If someone else said this, then these people would definitely refute with disdain, who are you!Do you count?
But this is what the crown prince said, so it is true!
Zhu Houzhao's remarks highlight one point, that is, the importance of military merit. If you make military merit, then everything is easy to say, otherwise everything is hard to say.Once some nobles can't keep up, and they haven't produced talents in one or two generations, so that they can't get into the martial arts academy or enter the army, then their family will be excluded from the nobles.

There will still be titles and salaries, but other privileges will be gone. Once the privileges of nobility are gone, how will these people live?
Zhu Houzhao believes that within a few years, there will definitely be a large number of outstanding young people among the nobles. Naturally, flying eagles and running dogs will be replaced, and bowing and horse riding is the kingly way.

Zhu Houzhao seemed to feel that it was not enough, and continued: "I hope that one day, you can make your fathers, grandfathers, and even ancestors proud of you. If one day, you stand on this stage to receive the medal, and the way to get this medal What kind of family honor will this be for your father to receive the medal?"

The nobles couldn't help fantasizing about that scene, it was so beautiful, so beautiful, they insisted on it, but the faces of the nobles' faces were even uglier.

This is what happens if you get a reward for someone else's child but you don't get it yourself. Thinking of this, I immediately shudder.
