Yang Zhenshan pondered for a long time and finally decided to link the recruitment system with the bureaucratic system, meaning that after soldiers retire, they can be given priority to serve in various government offices as officials or clerks.
Correspondingly, the treatment of officials and clerks would be improved.
Officials and clerks are not considered officials, but Yang Zhenshan endowed them with official status and set a promotion path for them.
In the past, Da Rong's clerks could only remain as clerks, at most promoted from the county government to a state government, or to a provincial government, but Yang Zhenshan provided them with a promotion system.
Clerks who have worked for a certain period can also be promoted to official rank, and if clerks have sufficient ability and strength, they can be promoted to the Martial Arts Department.
In short, this means transforming officials and clerks into real civil servants, offering them ample opportunities for advancement.
