…

Cai still thought it simple. He thought it simple and Cai You.

Cai still didn't expect that for Cai You, such a simple thing, was that Cai You refused because he was unwilling to make Zhao Ji unhappy.

I have to say that Cai You is too selfish. He only has his own future in his eyes and has no family interests at all.

This may also be one of the reasons why the Cai family fell apart later.

But then again, it may be because of this that Cai Youwen failed and Wu did not succeed, and finally sat at the high position of Privy Councilor and became one of the magistrates of the Northern Song Dynasty.

As for Cai You's final choice for Cai Jian, that is, let Cai Jian serve as a commander among the imperial guards and build a battalion of troops. Even Cai Chong couldn't stand it anymore.

To command such a small officer, usually from the eighth rank, even if he is a high-ranking official, he is only a eighth rank. He is a low-ranking official between the small envoy and the ambassador. Unless he is a guard of honor for the emperor, he will never reach the seventh rank.

Usually, if you do not make meritorious contributions, you have to go through five years of grinding, investigation, transfer and replenishment (that is, promotion based on time) before you can be promoted to the seventh-rank Xiuwulang (the ambassador Inner Palace Chongban).

If you want to be promoted to the seventh grade martial arts doctor, you have to endure another seven years.

If Cai still did not become a military officer, even if he did not rely on the Cai family, he could start from a civil servant who was ranked fourth in the current exam directly, and take the exam every three years. As long as he got a good reputation, he could easily pass the seventh rank. If the Cai family intervened a little, Cai could start from a civil servant who was ranked seventh rank directly.

Including, the nobles and the martial arts are inferior.

Cai You can still definitely describe Cai as "meaning".

Not only did Cai Chong think so, but after Cai You told Zhao Ji about his actions, Zhao Ji couldn't help but say: "Cai is still the only bloodline of your second uncle Cai Bian after all. Have you done this a little bit?"

Cai You said: "The official family doesn't know anything. It is because Cai is still my second uncle's only bloodline that I did this."

Zhao Ji was puzzled and said, "What's the reason?"

Cai You explained: "Cai Shen, this child, didn't know where he learned some martial arts, so he just wanted to join the army. No one listened to him. You know that war is not so simple. Even Sun Tzu said, 'Soldiers are the major affairs of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival and death.', he could not ignore it.', he could not practice martial arts for a few days with a wild master and read a few books on military books. Moreover, Cai Shen, this child not only wanted to go to the battlefield, but also wanted to lead the troops alone. He was also overestimated and looked down on our army in the Song Dynasty. He wanted to form an army by himself and regarded our army as a joke. Therefore, I told Taiwei Gao that he would build a battalion of troops by himself to hit him. When he couldn't bear to live and work hard, he would come back and start as a low-level civil servant."

After hearing what Cai You said, Zhao Ji understood Cai You's good intentions a little, and he said, "Since he likes to follow the martial arts, why don't he manage the comfort department?"

Since ancient times, civil officials have wanted to transform into military officers who are determined to go to the battlefield to establish military merits. The Northern Song Dynasty emphasized literature and provided these civil officials with channels for civil servants to change their military positions. Most of these civil officials also understand some strategies and governance, and can play some role in the battlefield. This system is called the Strategic Pacification Envoy System.

but--

After these literati went to the battlefield, they did not lead the army to fight, but acted as military advisors, a bit like staff officers in later generations.

However, unlike the staff officers, these literati can not only provide advice on setting up troops, but also control military generals (military generals can also suppress civil officials, and both sides are restrained to prevent the army from falling into someone's hands and to breed someone's ambition).

It can be said that the system of politicians is a preferential treatment for civil servants. It can not only satisfy the dream of literati's guidance, but also quickly help literati become officials. Of course, the premise is that you can have good talents and fully display your talents on the battlefield.

Zhao Ji couldn't figure out why Cai still didn't take this fast lane and chose to completely transfer to a military position?

Cai You said: "This is something that I can't understand. The government's policies are so generous, it can be said that everything is comprehensive, but Cai still has to focus on being a warrior."

After a pause, Cai You said again: "Maybe my second uncle left too early, so he developed such a rebellious personality."

fine--

Cai You took into account that he and Cai Jian were both surnamed Cai, and Cai Jian did not hate him, so he did not step on Cai Jian to death. He said: "Not long ago, he wrote a poem, 'Watching the lamp in his drunkenness and looking at the sword, dreaming of blowing the horns and camps. Eight hundred miles away, fifty strings flip the sound of the block, and autumn soldiers were fired on the battlefield. The horse made of horses was fast, and the bow was astonished as thunder and strings. He won the reputation of the king and his life. He was unwilling to lose his life!' This poem may be what he pursued."

After hearing this, Zhao Ji praised: "Good poems! Good poems! I don't expect that this child, Cai, can still write such good poems!"

Cai You said: "He wrote more than one good poem. The official knows that the Mulan lyrics that are most popular now, "If life is just like the first meeting"?"

Zhao Ji said, "But, 'If life is just like the first meeting, why do you have to do the autumn wind sorrow and paint a fan? You will change your hearts in old friends easily. But you will change your hearts in old friends. After the words of Mount Li, you will never complain about the tears and rain. How about being happy with a man in brocade clothes and wishing to join the branches on the same day?'?"

Cai You said: "The officials also know this poem?"

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "I almost heard calluses in my ears. There were singing everywhere in the palace. I was about to ask if this Cai Ziyin was..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Ji realized and said, "Cai Ziyin is Cai Gan?"

Cai You said: "Isn't it him?"

Zhao Ji said: "Is his literary talent so outstanding?"

Cai You said: "This is also the main reason why I hit him. With his talent, as long as he gives up those unrealistic dreams and pursuits, and starts from scratch with a down-to-earth manner, he will definitely become a famous minister and a capable minister of the generation, and may even surpass my second uncle and write a lot in history."

After hearing Cai You's good intentions, Zhao Ji said, "Your second uncle is gone..."

Zhao Ji wanted to say, "Your second uncle left early." But Zhao Ji thought about it carefully and found that Cai Bian lived to be over 70 years old, and it was not considered early death. So he changed his words: "Anyway, you have to take care of him more and educate him well, just like educating your eldest son Cai Xing, and make him a pillar of the country."

Cai Youying said: "No."

Zhao Ji thought about it and said, "By the way, has Cai still accepted the arrangement you gave him?"

Cai You said leisurely: "He hasn't suffered yet, how can he submit? He couldn't wait to take office in Yangwu County in the morning."
