The Crossing of Fortune and Prayer Jubilee

After counting and counting, it turns out that Wei's fourth son has a military household registration.

Speaking of this, Wei Huai asked Lou Yuzhu hesitantly with tears in his eyes, "Do you know those noble people in the town? If you do, can you not let my elder brother join the army?"

Lou Yuzhu was startled. "Join the army?"

"This year is the day when the court conscripts every three years. Our family is a military household and needs a quota. My elder brother went to sign up a few days ago." The battlefield is ruthless, who wants to have a good life but live the days of blood licking?

At present, the frontiers of the Yuan Dynasty are relatively stable, so the conscription is relatively easy, and there is no rigid requirement for good people to join the army, but they are selected from the military households first.Wei Lao Si is a soldier, so there should be a quota.Because of Fu Linshu's household registration as a second-class citizen, Lou Yuzhu had learned about the division of household registration in the Yuan Dynasty, and was no stranger to the rigid household registration of military households.

Military households are not cheap, on the contrary, they are higher than good citizens in many preferential policies, such as only half of the land property tax, small corvee investment without obedience, etc., but there are also rigid requirements under the premise of enjoying these preferential policies.One is that the military household registration cannot be changed and moved at will, and the other is that the military household registration population is duty-bound when the court conscripts.

There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom, which has existed since ancient times, and it is not without loopholes to exploit under such rigid conditions.It's just that this loophole depends on the purpose of the imperial court's conscription and the number of recruits.If the purpose of conscription is only to fill vacancies, then the number of people naturally does not need to be too large, and if there is a surplus of military household registration population, it is natural to take some actions to turn people into the remainder.

Lou Yuzhu murmured, and said, "I don't dare to guarantee this matter. I will give you an answer when I go back and ask."

Wei Huai lowered his head with gloomy eyes, thinking that this was Lou Yuzhu's excuse.

Lou Yuzhu didn't dare to say anything about the fact that she didn't dare to guarantee the ticket. After lunch, when she returned to Yangliu Town, Lou Yuzhu approached Pei Guanying to ask about conscription.

Pei Guanying was practicing calligraphy, when he heard this, he put the pen back into the pen holder. "Why is Brother Yu interested in conscription?"

"My uncle is a soldier, and this time the court conscription needs a quota. My eldest cousin applied for it a few days ago, so I would like to ask my second brother if he knows the purpose and number of this court conscription?"

Pei Guanying knew Lou Yuzhu's purpose without even thinking about it, she shook her head and said, "The court conscripted this time to use soldiers against Yi Rong, and the number of people can only be more or less, so I advise Brother Yu not to think about secretly operating and erasing the fourth brother Wei. The quota of the family is strictly checked by the top, and those who have hidden reports and substitutes or make up the number will be severely punished."

Hearing this, Lou Yuzhu knew that Wei Gan's joining the army was a certainty.

"It was your eldest cousin who stopped us with Wei Laosi yesterday? It seems to be called Wei Qian?" Seeing Lou Yuzhu nodding, Pei Guanying thought for a while and said, "I see that he is young but has a fierce look in his eyes. , maybe joining the army is the best way out for him."

It is almost impossible for soldiers to study in scientific research, and the only way to get ahead is to join the army. "Joining the army is a way out, but it is extremely difficult to get ahead." It is even more difficult for ordinary children with advanced technology to find a way out in the army, let alone the ancient times when feudalism was controlled by the powerful.

Pei Guanying blinked narrowly and pointed at herself, Lou Yuzhu looked at it angrily and said: "Second brother, if you want to do something, don't be a fool, you will get angry if you don't see me?"

Hearing this, Pei Guanying refused immediately. "Brother Yu is always polite when looking for other people to do things, why do you turn your nose and eyes up when it comes to me?"

"Being polite is an outsider, and the second brother is not an outsider, so what's the use of such politeness?"

Pei Guanying suddenly felt that he was speechless, so he had no choice but to say: "A cousin of mine is the former peak of the Gale Wind Camp, and this time I also need to recruit soldiers to supplement the soldiers. I can write a letter to ask him to call the guards when the soldiers are recruited. Not to mention anything else, at least you won’t be bullied, and no one will be greedy when you make military exploits. It’s just that the Gale Wind Camp is the elite division of my Yuan Dynasty. There are quite a few chances. And the ugly thing is above, my cousin is also a bit ruthless, if Wei Gan does not perform well enough to endure hardship or is mediocre, I am afraid he will be kicked out within a few months." See Lou Yuzhu understood, and said again: "So I can write a letter of introduction, but he has to think clearly about whether he can enter Gale Wind Camp."

This is a matter of life, and Lou Yuzhu didn't dare to make decisions for Wei Gan. After thinking about it, she got up and said, "I'll go to Weijia Village and ask him again. I am willing to accept this kindness from my second brother."

"You said you weren't an outsider just now, why are you being polite again?" Pei Guanying joked.

Lou Yuzhu smiled, and with the sound of farewell, the servant got into the carriage and drove to Weijia Village.After entering the village and getting off the carriage, he looked for the familiar way to the door and raised his eyebrows at the bustling scene.

No one expected that the brothers and sisters would turn around so quickly, and the people in Wei's fourth old house were stunned.

Looking at the embarrassing Zhengzheng in Weijia Village, and then looking around at the people watching the good show and the people who Sapo didn't even confiscate their postures, he said with a smile: "What's the matter? You don't have to go all the way to my uncle's house for the meeting, right? "No one answered, Lou Yuzhu leaned in front of Lou Chenglan, saw that his expression was not good, and called Huang Ying to ask him to bring a stool.

"This is my brother-in-law, right?" An old grandmother who was lying on the bed just now leaned over with a calm face, and that old face was smiling so much that she wanted to squeeze out a flower.

"you are?"

"I am your uncle and his father~"

"Oh, so it's my in-laws, my younger brother Yu is very polite." Lou Yuzhu bowed her knees to salute, and rushed over with a smile and asked, "What did my in-laws do just now? It's all because the family has something to say , not to mention that it's cold on the ground, if my in-laws have a cold or something, won't the juniors worry about it?"

Lou Yuzhu's politeness and thoughtfulness made the other party courageous, and she went to her face to wipe away her tears and expressed sympathy: "I can't help it, my in-laws also know that our family is a military household, and it is our duty to recruit soldiers from the court, but I Those sons and grandsons didn't live up to their expectations. They either fell their legs or twisted their hands when they went up the mountain to cut firewood yesterday. How can they join the army with a broken body? When they went to the battlefield, the officials thought they were endless. This is not a disaster for the family. ?"

"so what?"

"Brother-in-law, don't blame me for my short-sightedness, so I want to ask the fourth child and Wei Kun to take the place. Although each family has one place, isn't this a special situation? It is also possible for relatives and nephews to replace them."

Lou Yuzhu scolded in private for being shameless, and Wei Bu hit him before he was 16 years old, pretending to be worried on the surface and said: "Oh, this is indeed a coincidence. I don't know how are the relatives, uncles, elder brothers, and the others? Doctor? What did the doctor say?"

"Why do you ask for a doctor? Our family is poor, so we asked the good doctor in the village to do some earthwork to deal with it. If we can get through this, it's good, if we can't, we will die!" He wiped away his tears, with a miserable look look like.

"How can this be done? Human life is a matter of heaven," Lou Yuzhu helped her affectionately, and persuaded: "Don't worry, my in-laws, take us to have a look, the matter of asking for a doctor and prescribing medicine is covered by us." It's on me." While saying that, he gave Lou Hua a wink, and Lou Hua also stepped forward and pretended to persuade him.

Lou Ming secretly retreated to Lou Chenglan's side, and whispered, "Don't worry, Uncle Lan, he won't let them take advantage of it."

Talking and going to the old house of Wei's family, Lou Yuzhu didn't dislike seeing everyone hiding on the bed, and then patiently listened to the local doctor in the village talk about the illness, what was the emergency, and why did you need precious medicinal materials to save your life? , You can’t do heavy work even if you’re done, how serious is it? Lou Yuzhu listened carefully, not only nodding but also agreeing, as if she didn’t know that the Wei family was giving the local doctor winks.

After hearing the local doctor's words, Lou Yuzhu pretended to be anxious and said, "Since the condition is critical, what are you waiting for? The good doctor only said that he wanted some precious medicinal materials. Let's write a prescription. I'll send someone to the town to buy it."

The local doctor hesitated, seeing that Wei's family gave him the look to make him respond, so he hurriedly wrote the prescription.

Lou Yuzhu took the prescription and handed it to Lou Hua with a symbolic look: "Just ask brother to go. This life is in danger, and every minute of delay is more dangerous."

Lou Hua took Fang Zi and nodded: "Don't worry, I'll go right away." He turned around, gave Lou Ming a wink before going out, and glanced at the proud Wei family members, not only secretly smiling.Think Brother Yu is a living Bodhisattva?Hehe, that is the living Hades!Those real relatives in Lou's old house were completely humiliated, not to mention these irrelevant inexplicable relatives!

The fact is that Lou Yuzhu deliberately deceived them, pretending to throw his legs and twist his hands, thinking that he couldn't see it?Talk to the local doctor in the village and think he can't see it?Wanting to take the place of the four-bedroom roof and they enjoy the blessings, thinking he can't see it?When he is blind!

Soon Lou Hua turned around, and the Wei family thought that they could take advantage of the treacherous scheme, but they didn't know that Lou Hua was urging Hades to order him this time!He was happy to welcome him in, but before he saw the precious medicinal material, the doctor hired by the town rushed up to get a pulse on one person, and then flicked his sleeves.

"What disease? No disease at all!"

As soon as the doctor sitting in the hall finished speaking, a group of strong military men broke into the house, twisted several fake wounded patients from the bed like wolves rushing into the sheepfold, and then kicked them all out the door.

When he was caught off guard and struggled next, it was clear at a glance whether he was injured or not.

This accident happened within a few breaths, and before the people of Weijia Village who were watching the excitement could react, they saw the limbs and feet that were originally said to be badly injured, all screaming for pain.

"Didn't you say that the boss broke his leg?"

"Didn't you say that the second child twisted his hand?"

"Didn't you say that your son is also injured?"

The one who reacted quickly cursed with a pooh: "Whether it hurts or not, it's obviously just pretending! It's just to escape the conscription!"

The veteran who was in charge of Weijia Village's conscription affairs stared at the Wei family with unkind eyes, and said sharply, "You want to escape the conscription with fake injuries? Oh, you're so courageous! Take them all away!"

Now it's a turn of events, the original pride on the Wei family's face immediately turned into panic, the Wei family's Ah Mo rushed forward, howling, the soldier didn't care whether the opponent was old or not, he just kicked the Wei Ah Mo He lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't recover.

The old soldier Chonglizheng raised his chin: "You are Lizheng of Weijia Village, I won't say much about these few pretending to be wounded and escaped from the conscription, and I can't blame you, but this court conscription is of great use. The higher-ups have issued a death order, and anyone who uses someone to replace him or make a way to escape the conscription must be severely punished!"

Li Zheng is obedient.

The old general didn't want to waste his time on this, so he ordered his soldiers to drag three of them away, then pointed to the rest and said: "As a soldier, but I want to escape the conscription, according to Yan Zheng's order, the original [-] Increase the military sticks to forty military sticks. Execute immediately!"

Soldiers are so simple and rude, they fight as soon as they say they want to fight, and if they say forty army sticks, they will definitely not hit 39 half sticks and half sticks!

Looking at the farce in front of her, Lou Yuzhu frowned, and said to Wei Huai, "Let's go, this should be nothing to do with us."

The Wei family already figured out that this was the ghost of Lou Yuzhu's emissary, and they rushed forward one by one to take revenge.It's a pity that Lou Hua was already prepared and invited the nursing homes who had escorted them here before. Those who pounce on them are welcome, just use their feet!

On the way back, Lou Yuzhu said to the taciturn old Wei, "Uncle won't blame me for making my own decisions?"

Wei Laosi replied angrily: "No, I have nothing to do with that side."

"That's good." With a strong body and a scar on his face, he may be silent for a long time without saying a word, but he is much more clear about dealing with bad relatives than Lou Chengyi.

As soon as they entered the house, Wei Huai went to tell Lou Chenglan about the joyous things just now, and Lou Yuzhu invited Wei Gan to tell him about the Blast Wind Camp.

After listening, Wei Gankao nodded without thinking. "I'm going to Camp Storm."

Lou Yuzhu hesitated and said, "You have to think carefully about this matter. Gale Wind Camp is not an ordinary place to go, and you are a new recruit with little experience. You can't save your life by fighting hard and bravely on the battlefield."

"I thought about it very clearly."

Wei Qian had a firm expression on his face, Lou Yuzhu and Lou Hua looked at each other, and then looked at Wei Lao Si and Lou Chenglan.

Lou Chenglan had tears in his eyes, and the fourth Wei glanced at Wei Qian and rushed to Lou Yuzhu and said: "There is no danger in joining the army. I am luckier than I was when I was taken care of by superiors." He was forced to go to the battlefield when he was not yet sixteen. Don't they all live with their heads in their hands?

Lou Yuzhu sighed, and said to Wei Gan, "Since you've thought about it, I'll go back and ask my second brother to write two letters of introduction, and I'll send them over in the morning."

"I have to report early tomorrow morning."

Lou Yuzhu was startled: "Then you will go to the town with us, or come to the town early tomorrow morning to get the letter?"

Wei Gan swept away his family members and pursed his lips: "I'll go to town to get the letter tomorrow morning."

"Yes. We will live in the Tianzi room of Yuelai Inn. I will make an agreement with the store owner, and you will knock on the door when the time comes."

It was getting late, Lou Yuzhu first refused Lou Chenglan to stay for dinner, and took a carriage back to the town, Lou Yuzhu immediately asked Pei Guanying to write a letter of introduction.Before dawn the next day, Wei Laosi sent Wei Gan over.

Lou Yuzhu led the two of them to meet Pei Guanying and thank him for the letter of introduction.

Pei Guanying helped the two of them up, turned around and patted Wei Gan on the shoulder: "If you're afraid, think about your family, and if you think about it, you won't be afraid."

The registration point was not far outside the town. Lou Yuzhu sent people out of the town in a carriage, and handed over a gray cloth package before leaving. "Here are some clothes and wound medicine, which are allowed in the barracks. There is a jacket in the package. I asked Nu Geer to sew three silver bills in overnight, one for ten taels, one for 30 taels, and one for Zhang 50 taels, there are a few taels of silver and a few hundred coins in the purse, don’t save any useful places on the road. As for the home, don’t worry, I will come to see it from time to time, and I will ask someone to look after it. So rest assured."

Wei Gan parted his lips awkwardly.

Lou Yuzhu stuffed the package into the person's hand: "If you want to thank me, you can save this life. There will be more opportunities to thank me in the future."

Wei Gan, who always frowns deeply, has red eyes, clutching the package tightly, obviously has a lot to say in his heart but can't say a word.

Parting is the most painful thing in ancient times. Although we have not been together for a long time, Wei Qian's feeling of tension makes people feel sad when they look at it.Lou Yuzhu's eyes turned sour, and she said, "It's like what my second brother said before. If you're afraid, think about your family. If you think about it, you won't be afraid."

It was too early to delay too long, Wei Qian picked up the package and knelt in front of Wei Laosi to bid farewell, then bowed to his elder brother and gave a heavy salute, and then went to the conscription camp without looking back.

Turn around only when you can't see the back affecting one row.
