Chapter 58: Wei Qian
counted and counted, and Wei Laosi was the household registration of the soldier.
When Wei Huai said this, he hesitated to Lou Yuzhu with tears in his eyes and asked, "Do you know those nobles in the town?" If you know, can you not let my eldest brother join the army? ”
Lou Yuzhu was stunned. "Join the army?"
"This year is the day of the triennial conscription of the imperial court, and our family is a military household, so we need to give a quota. A few days ago, my eldest brother went to register. "The battlefield is ruthless, who wants to live a good life without passing the days of licking blood from the knife edge?
At present, the borders of the Great Yuan Dynasty are quite stable, and they are quite generous in terms of conscription, and they do not require good people to join the army, but are selected from the military households first. Wei Laosi is a soldier household, and there should be a quota. Previously, because of Fu Linshu's second-class household registration, Lou Yuzhu had made up for the knowledge of the Great Yuan Dynasty about the division of household registration, and he was no stranger to the hard household registration of military households.
On the contrary, many preferential policies are higher than those of good people, such as only half of the tax on land and property, and there is no need to serve small investments, etc., but there are also rigid requirements under the premise of enjoying these preferential policies. The first is that the household registration of military households cannot be changed and moved at will, and the second is that the registered population of military households is responsible for the recruitment of soldiers in the court.
There are policies and countermeasures, which have existed since ancient times, and it is not impossible to exploit loopholes under such hard conditions. It's just that this gap depends on the purpose of the court's recruitment and the number of recruits. If the purpose of conscription is only to fill vacancies, the number of people naturally does not need to be too much, and if there is a surplus of registered soldiers, they can naturally take action to turn people into the remainder side.
Lou Yuzhu groaned and said, "I don't dare to pack tickets for this matter, I'll 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 pack the ticket, so she didn't have much to say, so she just waited for lunch and returned to Yangliu Town, Lou Yuzhu went to Pei Guanying to ask about the conscription.
Pei Guanying was practicing calligraphy, and when he heard this, he put the pen back on the pen holder. "Why is Brother Yu interested in conscription?"
"My uncle is a soldier, and this court conscription needs to get a quota, and my eldest cousin went to report the name a few days ago, so I want to ask the second brother if he knows the purpose and number of people in this court conscription?"
Lou Yuzhu's goal Pei Guanying didn't need to think about it, shook his head and said: "The court's recruitment this time is to use soldiers against Yirong, and the number of people is only more, not less, so I persuade Brother Yu'er not to think about secretly operating to erase the quota of Wei Laosi's family. ”
Hearing this, Lou Yuzhu knew that Wei Qian'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 about it and said: "I see that he is not very old, but there is a fierceness in his eyes, maybe joining the army is the best way out for him." ”
It is almost impossible for soldiers to go from the scientific examination, and the only way to get ahead is to join the army. "Joining the army is a way out, but it is very difficult to get ahead." It is even more difficult for modern ordinary children with advanced science and technology to seek a way out of 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 and said angrily: "If the second brother wants to do anything, don't sell it, don't you see me in a hurry?" ”
Hearing this, Pei Guanying suddenly stopped talking. "Brother Yu'er is polite when he asks others to do things, why do you have a horizontal nose and vertical eyes when I come here?"
"It's polite, it's an outsider, and the second brother is not an outsider, what are you doing with that false courtesy?"
Pei Guanying suddenly felt that he was speechless, so he had to say helplessly: "One of my cousins is the former peak of the Wind Battalion, and this time I also need to recruit to replenish the soldiers." I can write a letter to him to order Wei Qian when he orders the troops, so that if nothing else, at least he will not be bullied, and no one will be greedy when he has made military achievements. It's just that the Swift Wind Battalion is the elite division of my Great Yuan Dynasty, and it has always been strict in military discipline and heavy in responsibility, and there are many opportunities for military exploits, but there are also many chances of casualties. And the ugly words are ahead, my cousin is also a little ruthless, if Wei Qian's cousin is not enough to endure hardship or mediocrity, I am afraid that he will be kicked out if he doesn't stay for a few months. Seeing that Lou Yuzhu understood, he said again: "So I can write a letter of introduction, but I have to think about whether he can enter the wind camp or not." ”
This is a matter of life, Lou Yuzhu didn't dare to be the master of Wei Qian, thought about it and got up and said: "I'll go to Weijia Village again now to ask him, if I want the second brother to help me write a letter of introduction, if I don't want the second brother's kindness, I understand it." ”
"I just said that I wasn't an outsider, why am I polite again at this time?" Pei Guanying made a funny joke.
Lou Yuzhu smiled, and when she said goodbye, she asked the servant to set up a carriage and rush to Weijia Village. After entering the village and getting off the carriage, he was familiar with the way and looked at the lively scene and raised his eyebrows.
No one expected that the brothers would turn around so quickly, and those people in Wei Laosi's old mansion were stunned.
looked at the embarrassed Weijia Village, and then glanced at the people who watched the show and the people who didn't even have a posture, and said with a smile: "What's going on?" You don't have to go all the way to my uncle's house to hold a meeting, right? No one answered, Lou Yuzhu came to Lou Chenglan, saw that his face was not good, greeted Huang Ying and asked him to move a stool.
"This is my brother-in-law, right?" An old man who had just been lying on the top of the sprinkler came up with a face, and the old face was smiling and eager to squeeze out a flower.
"You are?"
"I'm your uncle, his father~"
"Oh, it was originally a family member, and the younger brother Yu is polite." Saying that, Lou Yuzhu bent her knees to salute, smiled and rushed to the person and asked, "What did your in-laws do just now?" It's all a family that can't say anything well, not to mention that it's cold on this day, and the in-laws have to have that cold or something, doesn't it make the younger generations worried? ”
Lou Yuzhu's politeness and thoughtfulness made the other party emboldened, and he came to the front to wipe his tears and sympathize: "I can't help it, my brother also knows that our family is a soldier, and now it is the duty of our family to recruit soldiers from the court, but my sons and grandsons are not angry, yesterday I went up the mountain to chop firewood, either broke my leg or twisted my hand, how can I join the army with a broken body?" When the time comes, when they go to the battlefield, the officials still think that they are not exhausted, isn't this a disaster for the family? ”
"So what?"
"Brother in-law, don't blame me for my short knowledge, so I want to ask the fourth brother and Wei Kun to top this place. Although the quota is one from each family, isn't this a special situation? It's also okay to replace uncles and nephews. ”
Lou Yuzhu secretly scolded shamelessly, Wei Bury had the idea of beating him before he was sixteen years old, and pretended to be worried on the surface: "Alas, this is indeed a coincidence. Don't you know how your in-laws, uncles, and eldest brothers are doing now? Do you have a doctor? What did the doctor say? ”
"How can you ask a doctor, our family is poor, so we asked the good doctor in the village to catch some earthwork to deal with it. It's good to get through it, and if you can't get through it, it's fate! He wiped away his tears as he spoke, a bitter and sad look.
"How can this be done? Human life is a matter of heaven," Lou Yuzhu affectionately helped people and persuaded: "Don't worry, in-laws, take us to take a look, this matter of asking a doctor to catch medicine is on us." Saying that, he gave Lou Hua a look, and Lou Hua also stepped forward and pretended to persuade him.
Lou Ming secretly retreated to Lou Chenglan's side and whispered, "Uncle Lan, don't worry, you won't let them make a cheap profit." ”
Saying that, he turned to the old house of the Wei family, Lou Yuzhu did not dislike to look at the people hiding in the bed one by one, and then patiently listened to the local doctor in the village talk about the condition, what is the critical situation, what needs precious medicinal materials to save his life, what can he not do heavy work in the future, how to say it strictly, Lou Yuzhu listened carefully, and nodded and agreed, as if he didn't know that the Wei family gave the local doctor a look.
After listening to the local doctor, 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 valuable medicinal materials, and he would prescribe a prescription, and I would let people go to the town to buy them. ”
The local doctor hesitated, and saw that the Wei family gave him a look to make him answer, so he hurriedly wrote the prescription.
Lou Yuzhu took the recipe in her hand, symbolically glanced at it and handed it to Lou Hua: "Just ask the eldest brother to go." This person's life is in danger, and if you delay a minute, there will be more danger. ”
Lou Hua took the prescription and nodded: "Don't worry, I'll go immediately." Saying that, he turned around, gave Lou Ming a look when he went out, and then glanced at the smug Wei family, not only smiling secretly in his heart. Think Brother Yu is a living Bodhisattva? Hehe, that's the living Hades! Those real relatives in the Lou family's old mansion have all been disgraced, not to mention these irrelevant inexplicable relatives!
The fact is that Lou Yuzhu has a heart to pit them, pretending to fall and twist his hands thinking that he can't see it? Talking to the local doctor in the village, thinking he couldn't see it? Want a four-room replacement place, they enjoy Qingfu, thinking he can't see it? When he's blind!
Soon Lou Hua turned around, and the Wei family thought that the treacherous plan was taken advantage of, but they didn't know that Lou Hua was urging Hades this time! happily welcomed into the door, and before the precious medicinal materials were seen, the doctor invited by the town rushed up to take a pulse of a person, and then flicked his sleeves.
"What disease? Not sick at all! ”
As soon as the doctor finished speaking, a group of sturdy soldiers broke into the house, twisted several fake wounded patients from the bed like wolves into the sheepfold, and then kicked them all out of the door.
Caught off guard and struggled, it was clear whether there was an injury or not.
This change happened in a few breaths, and before the people of Weijia Village could react, they saw that they were originally said to be badly injured, and their hands and feet were all in full 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 the old man's son was also injured?"
There was the one who reacted quickly, and scolded: "What hurts or not, this is obviously pretending!" Just to escape the conscription! ”
The veteran soldier in charge of the conscription in Weijia Village stared at the Wei family with unkind eyes, and said sharply: "Want to escape the conscription with fake injuries? Oh, it's so bold! Take it all away! ”
This is simply feng shui in turns, the original pride on the face of the Wei family immediately turned into horror, the Wei family wailed and pounced, the soldier didn't care whether the other party was old or not, and kicked the Wei family and lay on the ground for a long time without coming back to his senses.
The old soldier Chong Li Zheng raised his chin: "You are Li Zheng of Weijia Village, I won't say much about these few people who pretend to be injured and evade the conscription, and I can't blame you, but this time the court conscription is of great use, and the top has already issued a death order, and if there is someone to replace or make a way to escape the conscription, it must be severely punished!" ”
Li Zheng only promised to be.
The veteran soldiers were reluctant to waste effort on this, so he instructed his soldiers to drag three away, and then pointed to the rest and said: "As a soldier, I want to escape the conscription, according to the strict order above, the original twenty military sticks are increased to forty military sticks." Execute it now! ”
Soldiers are so simple and rude, they will be beaten when they say they will be beaten, and they will never beat thirty-nine and a half sticks and a half sticks when they say forty military sticks!
Lou Yuzhu looked at the farce in front of her and hooked the corners of her mouth, and said to Wei Huai: "Let's go, this should be none of our business." ”
The Wei family had already figured out that this was Lou Yuzhu's ghost, and they pounced on it one by one to take revenge. It's a pity that Lou Hua was prepared, and invited a few nursing homes that escorted them over before, and those who pounced on them were not polite, just use their feet!
On the way back, Lou Yuzhu said to the taciturn Wei Laosi: "Uncle won't blame me for making my own decisions, right?" ”
Wei Lao Si replied angrily: "No, I have nothing to do with that side for a long time." ”
"That's good." The body is strong, there are scars on the face, and he is silent and can't say a word for a long time, but he is much clearer than Lou Chengyi in terms of treating his bad relatives.
When the group entered the house, Wei Huai went to tell Lou Chenglan about the happy thing just now, and Lou Yuzhu invited Wei Qian to tell him about the Wind Camp.
After listening, Wei Qiankao nodded without thinking about it. "I'll go to Camp Tempest."
Lou Yuzhu hesitated: "You have to think about this matter carefully." Camp Storm is not an ordinary place to go, you are a recruit with little inexperience, and you can't save your life by fighting a little hard and being brave on the battlefield. ”
"I thought it very clearly."
Wei Qian's face had a firm expression, Lou Yuzhu and Lou Hua looked at each other, and then looked at Wei Laosi and Lou Chenglan.
Lou Chenglan's eyes were full of tears, Wei Laosi swept his eyes, and Wei Qianchong Lou Yuzhu said: "There is no one who is not dangerous in the army, and I am luckier than I was at that time to take care of it." "He was forced to go to the battlefield before he was sixteen, didn't he live with his head on his head?
Lou Yuzhu sighed and said to Wei Qian: "Since you have thought about it, I will go back now and ask my second brother to write two letters of introduction, and I will send them over early tomorrow morning." ”
"I'm going to report early tomorrow morning."
Lou Yuzhu was stunned: "Then are you going to the town with us, or will you go to the town early tomorrow morning to get the letter?" ”
Wei Qian swept down the family and pursed his lips: "I'll go to the town early tomorrow morning to get the letter." ”
"Yes. We will stay in the Tianzi room of Yuelai Inn, I will tell the store that you will knock on the door when the time comes. ”
It was not early, Lou Yuzhu refused Lou Chenglan to stay for dinner, and took a carriage back to the town, Lou Yuzhu immediately found Pei Guanying to write a letter of introduction. Before dawn the next day, Wei Laosi sent Wei Qian over.
Lou Yuzhu led the two to meet Pei Guanying and thank him for the letter of introduction.
Pei Guanying helped the two of them up, and patted Wei Qian's shoulder: "If you're afraid, think about your family, and if you think about it, you're not afraid." ”
The registration point is not far from the town, and Lou Yuzhu sent people out of the town in a horse-drawn cart, and handed over a gray cloth package before leaving. "Here are some clothes and wound medicine, which are allowed to be brought in the barracks. There was a jacket in the package, and I asked Brother Nu to sew three silver tickets into it overnight, one was ten taels, one was thirty taels, and one was fifty taels. As for the family, don't worry, I will come over from time to time to take a look, and I will ask someone to take care of it, so don't worry. ”
Wei Gan opened his lips in a daze.
Lou Yuzhu stuffed the package into someone's hand: "If you want to thank me, I will save this life, and I will have the opportunity to thank you in the future." ”
Wei Qian, who always frowned deeply, had red eyes, clutched the package tightly, obviously had a lot to say in his heart, but he couldn't say a word.
Gulai's parting is the most hurtful, although he has not been with Wei Qian for a long time, but the other party's feeling of being like a tense string makes people feel sad when they look at it. Lou Yuzhu's eyes were sour, and she said, "Just like my second brother said before." If you're afraid, think about your family, and if you think about it, you're not afraid. ”
The time is not early, and it can't be delayed for a long time, Wei Gan picked up the package and knelt in front of Wei Laosi to say goodbye, and then bent down to bow heavily to his brother, and then went to the conscription camp without looking back.
It is only when you can't see that you can't see the back to affect the line.
