The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"Your Excellency, I believe that all future commanders of the Embroidered Uniform Guard must come from the Three Great Guards!"

"Whether it's the Embroidered Uniform Guard Headquarters or the Northern and Southern Garrison Offices."

"Or perhaps it is the thirteen prefectures of our Great Zhou Dynasty, with thirteen thousand-household garrisons."

"They must all be from the Three Davids!"

"Furthermore, in the future, all the centurions in various localities of our Great Zhou Dynasty must be appointed from among the Three Great Guards and be served by the Three Great Guards' elite guards!"

Fang Heng and the others exchanged glances, then Fang Heng stepped forward and spoke to Chu Xiu with a serious expression.

Pei Shiji and the others showed expressions of approval.

They naturally understood Fang Heng's meaning.

The three chief guards were elites selected from the entire Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Moreover, the three chieftains had truly experienced the killings, and were the most loyal to Chu Xiu and Empress Murong Si of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Only when they serve as commanders of a thousand or even a hundred can the cohesion and loyalty of the entire Embroidered Uniform Guard be enhanced.

"Great suggestion!"

"That's exactly what I was thinking!"

Chu Xiu said with an appreciative look on his face, "Fang Heng, you will be in charge of assigning all the centurions and captains of this martial arts examination to the three guards."

They were appointed as centurions and standard-bearers of the three chiefs.

If there are too many people, some can be appointed as trial centurions first.

From now on, all officers of the Embroidered Uniform Guard above the rank of Captain must be Embroidered Uniform Guards who have emerged from the Three Great Guards.

Only those who have experienced slaughter and crawled out of piles of corpses can become officers of my Embroidered Uniform Guard!

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Fang Heng said with a respectful expression.

"Have all the candidates from the thirteen prefectures of our Great Zhou Dynasty arrived in the capital for this year's provincial examinations?"

Chu Xiu nodded slightly and looked at Fang Heng, asking a question.

Although he failed the provincial examination and could not stand out, he came to the capital to participate in the palace examination.

However, the fact that these candidates were able to pass the county examination meant that they possessed certain talents and aptitudes.

These people may still produce truly talented individuals.

However, some of these geniuses were simply unlucky, or perhaps their backgrounds were too humble, and they lacked the resources for cultivation.

Therefore, Chu Xiu instructed Fang Heng from the beginning to order the thousand-household offices in the thirteen prefectures of the Great Zhou Dynasty to retain all these people and join the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

However, once these people joined the Embroidered Uniform Guard, they could only start as ordinary Embroidered Uniform Guard agents.

Only a very small number of exceptionally talented individuals can become junior officers in the Imperial Guard.

"Your Excellency, all the candidates who were eliminated from the provincial examinations have already entered the capital."

"He was placed in various inns throughout the capital by his subordinates."

"Awaiting your audience at any time."

Fang Heng said respectfully.

"I have disappeared."

Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "You summon them all to our Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters, and the three chief officers will select people from among them."

All three Davids and more than 9,000 people were added.

The rest were assigned to the Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters or the Northern and Southern Garrison Commands.

That's right, it's more than nine thousand people, not nine thousand.

After all, there are three guards, and each guard has three thousand-household units.

That means a thousand-household office would have 1,120 people, not 1,000.

This is because a thousand-household garrison has one thousand-household commander, ten hundred-household commanders, and numerous generals and squad leaders.

These people, including all the Jinyiwei officials, numbered one hundred and twenty.

"My subordinate understands."

Fang Heng said with utmost respect.

"Besides this matter, there is another extremely important matter that I have summoned you here for."

"This matter is of great importance to our entire Embroidered Uniform Guard."

"That's what we, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, should do: establish a merit system!"

"Initially, I did not establish a merit system because our Embroidered Uniform Guard was still extremely weak."

"Therefore, all the cultivation resources of our entire Embroidered Uniform Guard, whether pills or elixirs, are supplied openly."

"But now the strength of our Embroidered Uniform Guard has been gradually growing."

"Then, we should establish such a merit system."

“Our entire Embroidered Uniform Guard, from top to bottom, whether it’s the Grand Commander of the Three Guards or a mere ordinary guard.”

"From today onwards, only basic cultivation resources will be provided."

"If you want more cultivation resources, you have to make some sacrifices!"

"You have to give to receive!"

"Otherwise, it would be unfair to our Embroidered Uniform Guards who risk their lives to fight and kill!"

"After the merit system is established, everyone will be able to earn a certain number of merit points when performing tasks!"

"With merit points, you can exchange them for pills, elixirs, or even martial arts techniques from our Embroidered Uniform Guard."

Chu Xiu said calmly, "No one is an exception to this rule!"

Of course, merit points are not only earned by fighting for our Imperial Guards.

They were tasked with preparing Dragon and Tiger Medicinal Baths for our Imperial Guards and gathering intelligence for them.

These also earn merit points.

Because they are all working for our Embroidered Uniform Guard!

As long as it's for our Embroidered Uniform Guard, you can earn merit points.

Tasks such as maintaining order during free medical clinics, or delivering rice, flour, and cooking oil to the public.

Both methods award merit points.

The more difficult the mission, the higher the merit points!

Upon hearing this, Fang Heng and the others showed thoughtful expressions.

They actually agree with this.

Even though the Embroidered Uniform Guards are not short of resources now, they cannot afford to waste them.

Concentrating resources on cultivating individuals who will make contributions to the Embroidered Uniform Guard is more conducive to its long-term development.

If everyone eats from the same pot, there will be no motivation.

"Lin Huaiyu, you will be in charge of handling this matter."

Chu Xiu thought for a moment, looked at Lin Huaiyu, and said to him in a deep voice.

The main problem is that we can't leave everything to Fang Heng.

Fang Heng himself is the Grand Commander of the Shocking Guard.

He was also given all these tasks, leaving Fang Heng with no time to spare.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lin Huaiyu's expression turned solemn, and he spoke earnestly.

"Here are one hundred Pure Yang Limitless Pills."

"These one hundred Pure Yang Limitless Pills should all be sent to the warehouse of our Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters."

"Along with the elixirs and pills of our Embroidered Uniform Guard, you need merit points to exchange for them."

"As for the price, that's up to you."

Chu Xiu pondered for a moment, then pointed to a large package on the table and said to Lin Huaiyu.

He now has a total of 153 Pure Yang Limitless Pills.

He took out one hundred at once.

The remaining fifty-three were intended to be given to the maids and guards in the Chu household.

With ample cultivation resources and unparalleled martial arts skills, the maids and guards in the Chu mansion progressed at an extremely rapid pace.

All of them have reached the Grandmaster level, and a very few have even reached the Great Grandmaster level.

This alone is enough to show that each of them was carefully selected by Jiang Wan'er from the palace.

When they were handed over to him, although their cultivation level was not high, their talent and aptitude were absolutely top-notch.

Each and every one of them is a true genius.
