sweeping the world

Chapter 557 We ordinary people...

How can there be so much passion in life? People who have concerns and those who don’t have two attitudes towards life. When they need to fight with their lives, they will not be able to let go of concerns.

Lin Mu has a public position. The recruitment of veterans by the Taiwei Department this time does not count as the group of people with public positions. It is aimed at those who have retired and returned to their hometowns. He is still doing his own job, so he cannot be regarded as a member of the military again.

Ninety-nine percent of the grassroots public officials in each state are veterans retired from the military, and about [-]% of them are veterans with physical disabilities. It is they who are rushing to maintain the basic operations of the country, and they Maintaining public order in society.

Every place will have a corresponding list of who should be recruited again. As a tourist, all Lin Mu needs to do is to go to every household to notify them.

Not on the re-enlistment list, Lin Mu was relieved and also felt inexplicably panicked.He would breathe a sigh of relief, naturally because the family has just been happy and he is reluctant to part with it. If he can live with his family and watch his children grow up, who would not want to live such a life?As for the panic, he couldn't figure out why.

"Recruitment?" Huang Deyi held the piece of paper, grinned his yellow teeth in a daze, "I've been looking forward to this day for a long time!"

Lin Mu was about to leave, but he stopped when he heard a baby crying, and saw a young woman who seemed to come out of the bedroom, holding the baby in her arms and looking at him curiously.

"Why don't you come in and sit down?" Huang Deyi just invited Lin Mu casually. After he really invited Lin Mu into his home, he saw Lin Mu with complicated eyes and said, "It seems that you also had a child recently, right?"

The young woman had already comforted the baby. She brought a water jug, set up clay bowls for the two men and poured water.

Huang Deyi didn't know what kind of idea came from, and told Lin Mu some things after he was discharged from the army, including marrying the young woman, and did not hide that the young woman was actually married for the second time.He talked about a lot of things, and the clips were a bit messy. When it was time to talk about the baby, Lin Mu didn't know it was a baby girl.

The ratio of men to women in the Han Dynasty is very unbalanced, about three to one. This is a phenomenon caused by troubled times. After all, women are not as good as men in order to survive or protect themselves in troubled times.

Because of the unbalanced ratio of men to women, it is not easy to marry a wife in the Han Dynasty. It may take a series of competitions. As long as you can have a wife, it is a very embarrassing thing in itself.

Precisely because of the imbalance in the ratio of men to women, after the original husband of a school-age woman dies, both the people and the government will encourage remarriage, and no one will ask widows to observe chastity.It’s just that the remarriage of a widow is usually special. For example, the old man or children in the original husband’s family are not taken care of, so the new husband has to take responsibility, and a husband may take care of multiple families.

"There are too many people to take care of. After retiring from the army, she didn't turn out to be a good person. The pressure on Ajuan to be able to look up to her brother is actually very high. This time, she can re-enter the army, get some more land, and usually be able to pay her respects. Send some belongings from home." Although Huang Deyi has tried his best to appear relaxed, he can see that he is in a complicated mood: "Before retiring from the army, my brother was already a team leader, and I hope to take up the original position."

According to the organization and rules of the Han army, soldiers can only get the most basic land when they register and make books, and they will get salary after they become officers.Lieutenant chiefs and chiefs are not actually officers, they can only be considered real officials after they have been led by the team, for example, the annual salary of the team leader is fifty shi of grain.

Each level of the army and officers has its own salary, and soldiers can get [-]% of what they capture on the battlefield.Under normal circumstances, the army has the most nobles. For example, if you get a head, you can become a sergeant, and a sergeant also has a salary of fifty dan per year.

"What kind of title is old brother?" Lin Mu got the answer, and said with a smile, "I have a salary of one hundred shi every year for being a noble."

The weight of a stone in the past dynasties of China is not fixed, and even the weight of each catty is different from modern times.With the current weight unit, one stone is one hundred and sixteen catties in modern times, and the food consumed by one person in a meal is about two taels.

In other words, Lin Mu really felt very lucky. Before he retired, he was only a corps leader in the army, and his title was a public servant. He was able to get a public job after returning home.

After chatting for a while, Lin Mu took his official duties and left.

"Is Mr. Lang going to war again?" A Juan was very calm when she asked, she waited for her family members to gather before asking: "When?"

"Report to the county yamen on the fourth day of July." Huang Deyi was looking around at his family. There were four old people and several half-sized children. One of the old people was his mother, and the rest were relatives after marrying Ajuan: "This time, Tai The Wei Department is very generous, and will be recruited and rewarded with [-] acres of land, and when I report for my husband, the town will arrange the measurement."

One of the old men asked, "Can you push it?" When he spoke, he was looking at the baby in A Juan's arms.

"Don't talk nonsense, old man Li, how can the military recruitment be rejected." Huang Deyi's mother was smiling when she spoke, and only showed a worried expression when she looked at her son, but she quickly covered it up and asked: "I Son, do you know where you will be transferred, is it the south or the north?"

Old Man Li is the father of Ajuan's ex-husband. Their family is a reorganization of three families. Those half-grown children are from the Li family and Ajuan's family. The two families have lost their backbone, although everyone should still work and participate. Although they work hard, the three families are mentally supported by Huang Deyi, a young man.

Huang Deyi shook his head dumbfoundingly: "Mother, I just wrote the date of enlistment and report date, not where I'm going."

What happened at the national level, unless the country intends to let the people know, otherwise the common people will never know.Really wait until the common people hear it, in fact, that is the news that the country is willing to let the common people know.What the country wants the common people to know, the common people will never be able to hear, even if they hear it, they will not be able to verify whether it is true or not.

Not to mention the current messaging environment, even in the modern age with convenient means, the truth is the same.

The countries unite to besiege the Han Kingdom. The common people have no channels to get news, and they will not know what happened in the country recently. All they know is what happened around them. Unaware.

The old people resisted from the bottom of their hearts for Huang Deyi to go to the army again. No one could be sure whether Huang Deyi would come back after going. They would always worry that if something happened to Huang Deyi, the big family of three families would be ruined.

Lin Mu is responsible for delivering recruitment documents. When he distributes recruitment documents, he encounters various forms of people and encounters various things every day.He didn't chat with everyone, but generally asked the recruits what their previous status in the military was.

The town was established less than two years ago. Officials gathered people from all over the town and became a town with a population of more than 5000 people.

The town does not have a city wall, but only a fence to prevent wild animals will be built on the periphery. There are many similar towns in the Han Dynasty.

"Basically they are the bosses." Lin Mu returned home after he was busy, and became a little taciturn. The bosses are called the corporal chief, the chief, and the team leader in the army, that is, the grassroots officers: "It seems that this group of recruits is just Preliminary stage."

Famous generals are not necessary for the army. At best, they can make an army have higher morale and greater self-confidence. But even without famous generals, an army can still operate on its own.

The corporal commanders, division commanders, and team leaders in an army are the cornerstones. They are directly responsible for leading the troops and are the hub for the normal operation of an army. Without them, order will be lost, and coordination is impossible.

Therefore, the army can have no famous generals, but it cannot be without those low-level officers such as corporal leaders, special leaders, and team leaders.

"Da Lang, you will also be in the recruitment sequence?" Lin Qi is Lin Mu's old father, and their family consists of father and son, plus his wife A Hua and the baby.He felt somewhat nervous: "If it is true that you are also in the recruitment process, the big man... I am afraid that he will encounter an unprecedented crisis."

Youjiao is available in every township. They are responsible for the peace and order and the arrest of criminals. They are the most basic environmental protection in the locality.When they are there, whether the people like it or not, or whether the people are aware of it or not, the order is there.

Lin Mu knew what his old father was talking about, that is, once even public officials like them in the countryside had to put on their battle robes again, it would mean that the Han State had no longer cared about the order of the people.He is an out-and-out little person, but his father seems to have a story that he doesn't know. Otherwise, how could he think of that?

"For my father... I have served under the command of my grandfather (the one who heard the chicken dancing)..." Lin Qi narrowed his cloudy eyes, reached out and patted Lin Shu, and said angrily: "Ah Otherwise, do you think that the set of saber techniques I taught you was for nothing?"

It was the first time Lin Mu heard about his father's past, and he couldn't help asking, but Lin Qi didn't want to say anything more.

"Father, I know what Dalang is thinking these days." Lin Qi began to become serious, and his tone was also very heavy: "Grandfather originally had a chance to recover the Central Plains, but the southern court became jealous and refused to support him. Obstruction and destruction make the grandfather unable to get out."

In fact, Lin Mu didn't know who the grandfather his father was talking about, and he didn't even know that there was a man named Zu Ti in the Northern Expedition.

This is not only due to the blockage of forest news, but also absolutely related to the fact that the Hu people are in power. Simply put, too many people do not want that period of history to be passed on, and the inability to stop the historical records prevents the information from reaching the ears of the people.

"The crimes of the barbarian are too numerous to record, and the number of people who died in the misfortune of the barbarian in the past few decades is countless, and this is because of those noble people who have been punished. Now those noble men have been punished, and only those barbarians who caused the disaster are left..." Lin Qi The current performance makes Lin Mu feel strange and surprised.He didn't care about his son, and said to himself: "Your Majesty led the people to build a great man. After several years of fighting, our country was re-established, so that we would no longer be discriminated against and humiliated. Your Majesty has great respect for the people of the world." Kindness."

Lin Mu very much agrees with this point. He is 24 years old this year. It is not that he did not live in the era when the Hu people were in power. Pimples stood up in an inexplicable state.

"What do the top brass of the big man think, and what kind of state they want to keep the country, I can't guess it for my father." Lin Qi laughed suddenly, coughed a few times, drank some water before continuing: "For Father only knows that we don't need to worry about being humiliated or killed by barbarian people all the time, we don't need to worry about being buried in the soil after death, and we don't need to worry about being eaten and turned into shit! "

Lin Mu's hands clenched into fists unconsciously.

"We can live and work in peace and contentment, and we can go out and see the smiling faces of our neighbors. How many people who have died in disorder are looking forward to it but can't get it?" Lin Qi said with tears streaming down his face. The old man is not only old, but also the things he has experienced. Too many, too many memories in my mind: "The days are good, really good."

The phrase 'our country' has been echoing in Lin Mu's mind all the time, and some deeply buried memories have also been rediscovered, which are what he heard and saw when the Hu people were in power and his own personal experience.

Now that he has a daughter-in-law and a son, Lin Mu really resisted joining the army again because he was afraid of something unexpected.He is still afraid now, afraid that the days will just get better, and he has expectations in his heart, but he will not have the blessing to enjoy.However, he suddenly had something even more frightening, that is, if he lived well, and then the barbarians came back to power, including himself, everyone he cared about would live a life that would be worse than death again.

Lin Qi watched his son's changing expression so quietly, and he could guess what state his son was in based on his experience.

"Father." Lin Mu stood up abruptly, showing an embarrassed expression: "Son wants to spend more time with Ah Hua and Gou Zi.", touched his nose, and said, "Son, take them out for a stroll, come back Bring some wine and meat with me, and have a good chat with my father."

Lin Qi waved his hand, indicating that he would go if he wanted to do something.

Lin Mu did what he said, and with his bewildered daughter-in-law, the family of three wandered around the town. He quickly bought many things that he wanted to buy before, and made his daughter-in-law keep saying that it was a waste of money, and he didn't explain anything.

Perhaps it was an illusion, Lin Mu found that the market in the town was busier than ever today, and today is not a festival...
