Poor Ghost Up and Down 2000

This is what he went to the city to get today, this small bag, no matter how economical it is, can only be eaten for a few days.Winter is very long, so long that there is no end in sight.

The man held the grain bag in his hand helplessly, smiled wryly on his dry yellow face, and said to the room: "I'm back."

The thatched hut was pushed open, and a very hungry and thin woman stood by the door frame. A child came out of the door. Although the child looked hungry and thin, it was much better than the two adults.

The child ran to the man and asked expectantly, "Father, is there anything to eat?"

The man tried to show a smile on his face, reached out and touched the child's head and raised the grain bag in his hand: "Yes, I'm not afraid of being hungry."

The child laughed, but the woman in the door looked at the small grain bag, but wiped her eyes bitterly.

Such a bag of food is simply impossible to eat.

At night, the family ate three bowls of bean rice, which was rare. The three of them sat around the table, and the man and woman's bowls were only half filled, but the child's was full.

The bean rice tasted bitter, but the child ate it very quickly, presumably he was very hungry.

The woman took a mouthful of beans in the bowl, ate them, looked at the man in front of her, her eyes were a little red, and asked tremblingly, "What should I do next?"

The man didn't know what to say, he lowered his head for a long time, and gave a wry smile, with powerlessness and sadness in his voice, his head almost dropped to the table.

"Sorry, I haven't let you live a good life. Just suffer with me."

The woman pursed her lips, put it on the man's hand, not knowing what to say.

The man clenched his hands tightly, he really felt useless.

The child also stopped, looking up at the men and women who only had half a bowl of beans and rice in their bowls, and the shriveled grain bags on the ground.

Slowly pushed out the bowl in his hand: "I am full."

The man looked at the child with blank eyes, reached out and patted his head: "Eat more."

at night.

The man leaned against the bed and asked the woman beside him, "Is that man here today?"

The woman turned her head and looked at the man in surprise: "If you really want it, it will be fatal..."

The man grinned and put his hand on the woman's shoulder: "I'm fine, you guys have to eat."

How can we survive this winter without food?

He looked at a long sword with some rust in the corner, his eyes fixed, and he said in a deep voice.

"He said that he would let his brothers in the army in the city talk about the soldiers stationed in the city, and when the time comes, they will capture the city in one fell swoop and grab the food."

"Tomorrow, I will go find him."

The military service system of the Qin State: In addition to the regular soldiers, each young and strong household serves for one month every year, stationed near the ground, and awarded money and salaries, so that the younger soldiers can serve as reserve service.

After three years of being a pawn, he can be converted into a pawn, and he will be trained and marched in various places. He will be regulated by the pawn and enjoy the salary of the pawn.It is rotated for the sixth shift, which can return to February every year.

A soldier in the line of duty can be converted into a garrison soldier and dispatched to various places.

(Basically, it is the military service system of the Qin Dynasty in history, because of some changes due to influence.)

Such a military service system was supposed to improve people's livelihood, but it also caused some problems.

Most of the garrison troops in the cities in various places are pawns from nearby areas, that is, reserve soldiers, and the garrison soldiers who are regular troops have become a minority.

Most of the garrison soldiers were transferred to the frontier, especially Yanmen.

The watchmen had no formal training, and most of them were civilians themselves.If it is a stable world, there is no problem with such an arrangement, and it can be gracious to the people.

But if the world is in turmoil, such an arrangement will not be stable.

Chapter 238: Although there are thousands of people, I will go (repair)

In the military camp in the city, a torch was lit in the barracks, illuminating the face of a man lying on a bed.The light of the fire shone in his eyes, as if his eyes were burning with light.

"Are you all awake?"

The man lying on the bed asked the man in the barracks.

There was silence in the barracks for a while, and then someone said: "Wake up, what are you doing. It's midnight, and we will be on duty tomorrow for the defense of the city. Go to bed earlier."

"Are all the pawns here?" the man asked.

"You're talking in your sleep." A person on the other side was woken up, and said displeasedly, "Didn't you sleep here?"

"Hehehe." The people on the side all smiled, and one of them asked the person who spoke first: "Hey, what do you want to say?"

"It's nothing." The man under the fire pulled the quilt on himself: "I just want to ask, can everyone still have food at home?"

After finishing speaking, he seemed to let out a sigh of relief: "My house is nearby. When I came out, the family had been out of food for several days. I don't know if they have received food."

The barracks fell silent, no one laughed, and no one answered, as if they had all fallen asleep.

It was probably after a while that someone said dully: "It's nothing, this year is like this, who can still eat at home?"

"That is to say, we can still have a bite to eat in the barracks, and we can't eat the last meal without the next meal."

I don't know who turned over and smiled wryly: "Who said no."

"My family is still waiting for me to spend the winter with the calculated food and salary after I am finished."

"Is it enough?" the man asked.

Everyone lay there quietly, some clenched their fists, some with their heads buried in their arms.

Occasionally, a few sighs or wry smiles could be heard.

How can it be, they have already asked about the payment of the settlement, and it is not bad to be able to eat for half a month.

The person under the fire was silent for a while: "There is still a mouthful of food in the barracks..."

"Want to eat, maybe there is a way..."

The shallow grass between the palace walls is spread on the ground, and the grass blades bend and hang on the stone slabs of the middle path.

Gu Nan walked through the path between the stone slabs, this is the Prince's Mansion.

There were waves of footsteps passing by outside, and it was the patrol sound of the entrapment army.

Fu Su just succeeded to the throne. As Lang Zhongling, she is in charge of guarding the palace. She has to focus on the safety of this place in the past few days.
