You don¡¯t need to think about how cruel war is to know. It is simply a meat grinding ground. No matter how many lives are taken, it is not enough. Especially in this era of cold weapons, everyone is wielding knives and chopping each other¡¯s heads. It¡¯s okay if their heads are chopped off, but they die on the spot. It's so satisfying. I'm afraid of being chopped half to death, unable to move, dying of pain, and watching myself bleed to death. Even if I'm lucky enough to survive the battlefield, there will still be trouble in the subsequent war. How many people can survive safely? To retire?
Some people quit the war midway, but they were missing arms and legs. They could no longer go to the battlefield and had to go home with injuries. They would be disabled for the rest of their lives. The rest of their lives would be a pain.
¡°Everyone is raised by his or her biological father. Parents have worked hard to raise their sons, so how can they be willing to send them to the battlefield? If you go, you may never come back.
Although there are many opportunities to make achievements on the battlefield, they are all sacrificed with their lives. After wading through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, how many people can achieve success on the battlefield?
There are many unknown heroes!
On the battlefield, a person's death is too insignificant, like a drop of water in the ocean, which cannot even make waves.
After a moment of silence, Yunjing thought for a while and asked, "Grandpa, do people who meet the requirements have to have someone become a soldier?"
"Yes, it must be!" Yunlin said solemnly.
To be honest, the recruitment standards of the Dali Dynasty are already very humane. Those who are over 16 years old and under 40 years old, and families who do not want single children at the moment, whoever has more sons of the right age can just have one, so that there will be no problem. Something that makes people desperate.
But after all, you are going to the battlefield, and you may never come back. If it is not a last resort, how many people are willing to be soldiers?
Yunjing still doesn¡¯t understand the laws of the Dali Dynasty. After getting his grandfather¡¯s answer, he hesitated and said, ¡°Grandpa, what will happen if you don¡¯t go?¡±
"The consequences are very serious!" Yunlin sighed, and then added: "If a family that meets the requirements refuses to serve in the military, first of all, the descendants will be permanently disqualified from the imperial examination, and secondly, half of the land will be confiscated. If there is corvee service in the future, such a family will They will be 'taken care of' with priority, and if the circumstances are particularly serious, they will be treated as deserters. It is a minor offense to be prosecuted, and they will probably be beheaded as a warning to others!"
Yunjing did not expect that the consequences of military service would be so severe. He would be permanently disqualified from the imperial examination, which would fundamentally cut off the chance to make a comeback. Half of his property would be confiscated, and half of the income from the property would be lost. It would be difficult for a family to survive, and they would also be given priority in allocations. It is not surprising that corvee workers, under intensive care, would be exhausted to death, and in severe cases, they would be beheaded!
"After all, this is a feudal dynasty. The rules are set. If you don't abide by them, you are going against the court. It's surprising that you will end up well."
As for wanting to conceal family circumstances and avoid military service, there is no such thing. Is household registration just a decoration? One search will tell you about your family situation.
Yunjing said helplessly: "Grandpa, you can't hide from this kind of thing. It's better to tell the villagers as soon as possible so that everyone can be prepared in advance."
"I think so too, but I really can't say that. After all, we are all from the countryside. Is the battlefield a place where people can go? If you go there, you may not be able to come back," Yunlin said tangledly.
After thinking about it, Yun Jing said: "Grandpa, it is only natural for you to be a soldier and go to the battlefield. Besides, you don't go to the battlefield right away. You have to train for a period of time. Also, you can't be a soldier in vain. You have to Are there some benefits?"
"That's right. The government officials who came to inform me that day said that soldiers will be paid one tael of silver every month, and food and clothing will be provided by the court. If you go to the battlefield and kill an enemy, you can get a reward of 10 taels of silver. You can also In exchange for land of equal value, those who perform well can be promoted. I don't know the details. Then, if you are disabled, there will be a settlement fee of fifty taels of silver. If you die on the battlefield, you will get a hundred taels of silver. A pension of silver." Yunlin told him all the benefits he knew about being a soldier.
Yun Jingxin said that this was reasonable, and then said: "In this case, Grandpa, don't hesitate, tell the villagers as soon as possible, procrastination is not the answer, you have to face reality after all, and always think of the good in everything, Being a soldier is hard and dangerous, but there are also opportunities to make achievements, isn't it?
"That's right. I'll go and inform the villagers later. It's almost dinner time and everyone will be back soon," Yun Lin finally sighed.
Nodding, Yunjing asked again: "Grandpa, how many families in our village meet the requirements for military recruitment?"
"About twenty households," Yunlin didn't even think about it. He had lived in Xiaoxi Village for decades and he still knew the situation of each household in the village.
In other words, there must be about 20 people who want to leave their jobs.The good news is, grandpa, dad, mom, I am a child now. Haven¡¯t you noticed that my clothes and hairstyle are different from before? "
Jiang Susu smiled and said, "It's different. I didn't even notice it just now."
"Tongsheng? What is that?" Yunshan scratched his head and said, not understanding.
Well, it's normal that they don't understand. Yunjing explained: "Tongsheng is a title after passing the imperial examination. I also have a title now. With such a title, I can get four sets of clothes from the government every year, and Some money and food, oh by the way, once you have achieved fame, you can be exempted from corvee and military service, dad, do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand, but are there really so many benefits?" Yunshan exclaimed, he couldn't even think about such a thing, it felt a bit unreal.
Yun Jing smiled and said: "This can still be false. It is clearly stipulated by the government. You will know after a little inquiry."
"That's great. Hey, my son is also a famous person. Hey, do you want to have a drink to celebrate? I think it is absolutely necessary." Yunshan immediately clapped his hands and said happily.
Yun Lin knocked on the table and said, "Forget it, let's just serve wine. Normally, we should serve wine to celebrate this kind of thing, but now is not the time. Children from other families are going to serve as soldiers and go to the battlefield. We are celebrating here." , not appropriate, let¡¯s talk about it later.¡±
"That's right," Yunshan said with a stiff expression. He was so happy before that he forgot about this.
Then Yunjing said again: "Grandpa, I haven't finished speaking yet. I forgot to tell you that I am the first in the county examination this time. According to the agreement between me and my master, after I get the first in the county examination, Xiaodong will go to school to study." , Master has helped with all the expenses, and Master will also recommend a master to Xiaodong, in short, you don¡¯t have to worry about anything."
"There is such a good thing?" Yunlin said in disbelief.
Nodding, Yun Jing said: "Of course it's true, Grandpa, I don't need to lie to you about this kind of thing."
"Okay, okay" When Yunlin heard Yunjing's answer, he was so happy that the wrinkles on his face were reduced a lot.
With a son like this, why worry about the family not being prosperous?
At this moment, Yundong asked out of curiosity: "Brother, is it easy to pass the exam for the childhood honors?"
"As long as you study hard in the future, it will be quite simple," Yun Jing replied.
For him, it is indeed quite simple, but his younger brother is still young, so there is no need to tell him the difficulty of the imperial examination, so as not to dampen his enthusiasm for learning now.
¡°Really, then I will definitely study hard and get the honors as soon as possible. I will definitely be better than you, brother, in the future,¡± Yundong said with great interest
Seeing the smiles on his family's faces, Yunjing felt a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. He had never been so happy with his previous achievements. He shared his achievements with his family to make them happy and make them happy. To have light on your face, isn't that what you want as a child?
"The most fearful thing in life is that when you achieve success, no one will share it with you. In that case, no matter how high the achievement is, it will not make people happy, but will be a kind of sadness
The happy time is always short.
After the family finished eating, they still had to face what they had to face. Yunlin hesitated again and again, got up and walked out. Taking advantage of the meal, he went to the middle of the village to notify the villagers to gather and announce the conscription (Remember this site Website: www.hlnovel.com
