    The Imperial College in Beijing.

    "It's unreasonable. The new compulsory military service system actually requires all adult men to perform military service, and we scholars are no exception. Is this a royal law?"

    A scholar from the Imperial College held a copy of the Ming Dynasty Morning Post and said very angrily.

    "No, the imperial court has always treated scholar-bureaucrats favorably, and we scholars have always been treated favorably. Don't we have to not participate in this new military service?"

    Someone listened and said in disbelief.

    In this era, everything is inferior but reading is high. There is no doubt about the identity and status of scholars.

    Not to mention that after passing the Juren exam, he will be very successful and prosperous. Even if he does not pass the Juren exam and is just a scholar, he will still have many preferential treatment, such as not having to go on official business, not having to pay farm grain, and not having to kneel before officials.  You can also use slaves, be exempted from prison terms, and have some privileges in wearing clothes, etc.

    ????????????????????? If you can win the election, it will be really great. Not only can you be exempted from various taxes, corvee, etc., but you can also become an official and become an official.

    From here we can know that the status of scholars in the Ming Dynasty was really very high.

    In the past, they have always enjoyed many privileges and a noble status, which naturally developed the arrogance of these scholars. In each other's eyes, apart from the scholars, they did not put anyone else in their eyes at all.

    Even in the court, those civil servants often did not even pay attention to the emperor. Zhou Jing, the former Minister of Household Affairs, often spit on Emperor Hongzhi. As for Yanguan, Yushi, Hanlin and others, it was even more so.  He is strong-willed and arrogant. He looks like he is the most awesome guy in the world and no one will accept him.

    Well now, this new compulsory military service system does not give these scholars any privileges. As long as you meet the age, you must serve in the military regardless of whether you are a scholar or not.

    This made these scholars¡¯ mentality explode.

    "The newspapers clearly stated that all men between the ages of 16 and 25 must serve in the military, regardless of whether they are scholars or not. It was also clearly stated in the newspapers issued by the imperial court. Those of us  People actually want to be Qiu Ba."

    Someone was holding a newspaper, looking extremely miserable.

    In the eyes of scholars like them, the most despised people are those who wield swords and guns, and soldiers are the most despised. Soldiers are called Qiuba, and military households are dilapidated military households.

    For them, let alone being a soldier, even if they become a general, a thousand households, a hundred households, etc., they will lose their status and value. Even if the British Duke Zhang Mao comes to them, they will not lose any money.  Damn, I don¡¯t look down on these soldiers at all.

    Their ideal is to be named on the gold medal list and to be the number one champion in the streets. It is definitely not to be like Lord Grim who lies drunk on the battlefield, or to be a wolf and live in Xu. Being a soldier seriously deviates from their values ????and outlook on life.

    "How can this be true~ How can it be true~"

    "It is simply an insult to politeness, an insult to politeness~"

    "We are scholars, how can we do that?"

    "Yes, I won't go, I won't go~"

    The scholars in the Imperial College were furious. Every one of them was very angry and kept shouting.

    " Then some scholars clamored to go outside the palace and ask Emperor Hongzhi to exempt their scholars from military service. Even if they died, they would never join the army.

    The Moon Tower in Beijing.

    With the promulgation of the new compulsory military service system, it suddenly became the focus of discussion among young and old men in the entire capital, and the same was naturally true here in Wangyue Tower. At this time, many people in Wangyue Tower were discussing this new compulsory military service system.

    "It's hard for the people to prosper, and it's hard for the people to die~"

    "It's not long since the good days, and the imperial court has introduced such a system. Before, soldiers were only those from dilapidated military families. Now it's better, and we all have to become soldiers."

    Some people couldn¡¯t help but sigh.

    In the past two years, everyone has indeed lived a good life. Their income has been high, and the fish in the ocean allows everyone to eat meat every day. Their lives are prosperous.

    Now it¡¯s better. As soon as the new military system of the imperial court came out, mourning was everywhere. Everyone was afraid when talking about this military service.

    "Isn't that right? The life of a soldier is the lowest and most destitute. Even future generations will be affected. Generations of generations will be destitute military households."

    Someone nodded and said.

    "Actually, there is no need to be too anxious. This time we are only recruiting 10,000 new soldiers from all of our northern Zhili. Not everyone wants them.Those who want to serve in the military, didn't the newspaper say that they need to undergo some kind of physical examination? Only those who pass the physical examination can become soldiers.  "

    Some people looked at it carefully and were not worried at all.

    "If you don't want to be a soldier, you can clear things up with the people in the Yamen. If you don't pass the inspection, it's fine. There's no need to worry."

    "The entire Northern Zhili army recruits 10,000 people, so one government only recruits more than 1,000 people. Not everyone really needs to be a soldier."

    After hearing this man¡¯s words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

    "Actually, I have studied this new military system carefully. This time the court is obviously determined to carry out the reform. There are still many benefits to being a soldier. You see, if a person becomes a soldier, the whole family's corvee and taxes can be paid.  Exemption is a privilege that only scholars can enjoy. This alone, I think, can attract many people to become soldiers."

    ¡°It seems pretty good~¡±

    After listening, some people nodded and said.

    ¡°It¡¯s not only good, it¡¯s extremely generous. Being a soldier is exempt from corvee and taxes, which was something I couldn¡¯t even imagine before.¡±

    "This military service only lasts for four years. Once the four years are over, you can still come back."

    "We are just afraid that serving as a soldier will be a lifelong matter. If we serve as a soldier for the rest of our lives, we will be finished. What is even more frightening is that if this policy changes, it will return to the previous military household system. How can this be done?  Haven¡¯t they been military households for generations?¡±

    "If you become a military household, your children and grandchildren will all be military households. They won't even be able to study, and they won't be able to take the imperial examination."

    "Yes, who knows whether the affairs of the imperial court will change. Maybe the new military system cannot be implemented and the original military household system will be restored. By then, those military households will have deregistered and become soldiers.  They have become a new military household, and they have been a run-down military household for generations, and they are the private slaves of those Qiu Ba."

    "That's right, I'm determined not to be a soldier. I'm going to ask someone to help the Yamen. When the time comes, the second and third children in my family will fail the physical examination."

    "You cannot be a military household. Once you become a military household, you are really finished."

    Someone said very worriedly, and this person¡¯s words also resonated.

    Everyone is very aware of the situation of military households, and the situation of those dilapidated military households. They are as humble as grass, the most miserable, and the most dilapidated. The key is that they still have to go to the battlefield. Generations, children and grandchildren will suffer from military households.  Due to the restrictions of the system, you cannot learn a craft or rely on the imperial examination.

    "The imperial court's policies should not be changed overnight, and it has been clearly stated above. Military service is only for four years. During the military service, there are still moon rings, and all expenses go to the imperial court. In addition, family members can be exempted from  The corvee and taxes are actually pretty good.¡±

    "In addition, as mentioned above, during the military service, someone can teach you how to read and write for free. If you are successful in your studies, you can still take the imperial examination after the military service is over."

    Some people think it¡¯s not possible, but some people think that under this new compulsory military service system, becoming a soldier seems to be a very good choice.

    Many conditions are clearly written. The imperial court obviously attaches great importance to this military reform and gives preferential treatment in all aspects.

    In the past, when you were a soldier, you really had no identity, no status, and no future.

    But things are different now. There are many benefits to being a soldier, and it will not affect your future future. After serving in the army, you can still do what you like to do.

    Scholars can continue to study and rely on imperial examinations, farmers can become farmers, and even the court will find ways to solve work problems, so there is no need to worry about the future after retirement.

    "No matter how ridiculous the writing is, I will not let my son join the army. I will never go~"

    Someone said very firmly.

    The concept of dilapidated military households is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is difficult to change it all at once.

    "Yes, I won't let my son become a soldier~"

    "Anyway, a physical examination is required. As long as the physical examination fails, you don't have to go. You don't have to worry about anything."

    "Anyway, anything you do is fine, but you can't be a soldier. That's the end of it!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
