Pinghu suddenly said that he wanted to be a soldier, and the onlookers were stunned.

Although Pinghu's business is not large, it is better to make money every day, and it is very stable.

There is only one hour of opening and closing time every day, so if the caravan wants to clear the customs within this hour, it must come here in advance, and then the vehicles will occupy their seats in advance and wait in line.

Naturally, it is impossible for people to follow the car all the time, so he also provides accommodation here.

Not to mention much, it's no problem to earn one or twenty dollars a day.

This is put on the people, retail investors, and it is already a super high income.

Moreover, in addition to accommodation and catering, they are not without other ways to earn.

These locals often gather in groups to help keep an eye on the trucks and cargo at night.

Pinghu also organized a group of people to do this, and his simple inn and stable customers are all ways to make money.

And Pinghu's brain is still relatively bright, and he even launched a package of meals, accommodation, and goods care.

Even more advanced, even the activity of spending how much to see the car and the goods for free has been made.

Therefore, these businessmen themselves estimated that in addition to the daily expenses, it was absolutely impossible for Pinghu to settle ten yuan a day.

"Are you alright? You can earn more than being a soldier, and you don't have to suffer that! You Shang asked with a look of surprise on his face.

"What about how much you earn? I don't do this business, I can leave it to my son, it's all the same. Pinghu was a little excited and continued: "I heard that there will be a move in the imperial court next, so the troops are not enough, and Your Majesty does not want to levy military service to affect the next spring ploughing, this year's recruits still have two months to go to the border, and now once the army in front moves, there will be no army in the entire west and north to garrison, and if those people in the west have any ideas, they can drive straight in." ”

"Your Majesty is worried that Guanzhong will be invaded by the enemy, so Your Majesty ordered Zhang Buyi, the general of the forbidden army, to garrison the border with 40,000 forbidden troops, which is the Zhenxi army we see now."

"Your Majesty can't bear to affect the spring ploughing, and even disregard his own safety, although I Pinghu is a little older, but this bit of blood is still there, even if I die on the front line, it can be regarded as worthy of my name!"

Pinghu said loudly with indignation.

"At your age, I'm afraid the army won't want it, right?" You Shang said.

Since last year, the army has begun to tend to recruit young people when it comes to recruiting people.

Those who are thirty-five years old and above are basically not recruited.

And this year, I heard that the conditions are higher, and if you want to be a soldier, you can only go to the city defense army.

The city defense army is very different from the regular army, there is no armor, and the weapons are also old weapons.

To put it bluntly, it is responsible for guarding the city and maintaining law and order in the city.

And Pinghu's age clearly exceeds this requirement.

"If you don't want me, let my son go, if you don't want my son, I'll donate money and food!" The expression on Pinghu's face was unusually determined.

Originally, Pinghu was still a happy family, although life was a little harder, but it could barely support it.

In the troubled years, their family also suffered, and first lost contact with their families.

The two served under Zhang Han's command, but they never met.

Of course, at the beginning, both of them were instigated to join Zhou Wen's troops.

After Zhou Wen was defeated, he was reorganized by Zhang Han and incorporated into logistics.

It was at this time that his eldest son was wounded, and was shot in the thigh by an arrow, and although he did not lose his life, he became lame.

Later, Zhang Han was defeated and surrendered to the Han Wang, and the two of them were reorganized.

Pinghu was anxious to go home to find his wife and children, so he did not choose to stay, and because his son became lame, the Han army let him go home.

Although the two finally met, Pinghu's wife and second son and youngest daughter were nowhere to be found, and they couldn't be found anywhere, and until now, there is still no news.

When he left the Han army, Pinghu joined the scouts, and he also searched for his wife and children through the scout system, but there was still no news.

"Hey, don't be so excited, I'll find your wife and children sooner or later!" You Shang said helplessly.

They all know about Pinghu's family affairs.

In order to find his wife and children, Pinghu opened this shop, and almost all caravans and pedestrians knew that Pinghu was looking for his relatives.

Maybe it's because they want to spread the word in this way, or maybe their loved ones who don't know where will come back on their own after hearing the news?

"Do you know what the most common sentence I heard when I was in the Han Army?" Pinghu's mood calmed down a little.

Everyone shook their heads, they had never joined the Han army.

"Never expect to fight at home, never think that you can return home tomorrow after fighting today, as a man of a big man, you should be determined to put the battlefield thousands of miles away, or even thousands of miles away, so that even if we die in battle, our families are safe." Pinghu, who had just calmed down some of his emotions, became excited again, and his eyes were red and he continued:

"I am a witness, no one knows better than me how much damage the war at my doorstep has brought me, if I can't stand up now, everyone doesn't stand up, just wait for the court to deal with it passively, sooner or later, the tragedy that happened to me will also happen to the people of Guanzhong, and even the people of the Central Plains."

"I will never tolerate this kind of thing happening again, so even if they don't want me or my son, I will donate money and food, whatever I donate, so that this war will end at the border, and even fight on the other side's territory!"

Pinghu's words aroused the approval of many businessmen, and they could be regarded as empathy, although their wives and children were not separated by the war.

But there is a lot of truth in that.

War on the doorstep, no one wants to happen.

No one can say for sure that one day the flames of war will reach their homes.

Pinghu's family of five is now a family of two in an instant, no, it's a family of three.

Pinghu's son was lame and couldn't get a wife at all.

A lame leg means that he can't do too heavy work, and this kind of person is not a waste, but also a half-wasted person.

This means that Pinghu started a business, and his family gradually improved, so he 'bought' a wife for his son last year.

Even so, his son now feels inferior every day and can't do too much heavy work.

So he worked hard every day to make money, boiling porridge during the day, and taking people to take care of the vehicles and goods at night.

Maybe this is the only way to make him feel that he is still a little useful, not a complete waste.

Pinghu's business is destined to have no small flow of people here.

Pinghu's identity made his superiors notice him, so he chose to set him here as an important intelligence collection and distribution point under his command.

This time Pinghu did receive an order, but to be a soldier, donate money, donate food, this is Pinghu's own feelings, he really felt it, and he didn't want the tragedy on his body to happen again.

Nobody likes war.

Great and small wars have been fought for hundreds of years.

Qin ruled the world, and the people were overjoyed when they heard it, and finally they didn't have to suffer from war anymore.

Although there was a lot of pressure during the Qin Shi Huang period, he could barely survive, and if he could live without fighting, the people would be satisfied.

By the time of the Second Emperor, the imperial court often changed its decrees, forced labor, taxes became heavier, and the laws became more and more cruel, which led to the outbreak of peasant uprisings.

And to the current Han Kingdom.

Even those who were unconvinced now have to admit that under the rule of the Han Kingdom, the current people are the happiest moment in five hundred years.

The relaxation of the law, not arbitrarily implicating others, the flexible legal system, the punishment of serious crimes, the punishment of minor crimes, the reform of agricultural tools, the construction of canals, the encouragement of industry and commerce, and the tax exemption for three or six years.

said that they would be forced to serve for 20 days every year, but now, it is the fourth year since the establishment of the Han Kingdom, and Sanchuan County should pay taxes this year, but their time for serving in the past three years is zero, can you believe it?

The rice jars in the people's homes gradually became thicker, and they could also help the court work in winter to get paid.

Busy farmers can also cultivate official land to deduct taxes or get paid, such a good life, who dared to think of it in the past?

Before that, some literati even believed that the Han Dynasty had to spend more than ten years to implement benevolent government in order to win the hearts of the people in the world.

However, the imperial court quickly slapped these people in the face, and it only took one year for the imperial court to do this.

The satisfaction of the people means the internal stability of the country, and the internal stability means that the probability of rekindling the war is minimized.

You Shang is also sighing, isn't it because of this series of actions of the imperial court that the counties in China have been stabilized, so that the people gradually have some family foundations, and they can make profits as merchants?

"My ......"

The businessmen were about to make their own remarks with emotion, but were interrupted by the son of Pinghu outside the door.

Pingding limped one leg and hurriedly ran in, one high and one low.

Pinghu's old face darkened, and he reprimanded sharply: "You don't go to look at the vehicle and goods, what are you doing here?" If you don't want to see it, just say it, or let someone notify me to do it for you, how do I teach you on weekdays? ”

"Oops, big deal! Big deal! Pingding didn't care about his father's reprimand, and said hurriedly with a face: "I heard from the people in the pass just now, the imperial court just came to order, the next five days to open and close, five days later, the court will recruit conscripts to transport grain to the front line, when it can be switched on and off did not say, it is estimated that it will take at least a few months......

The calm words made a group of businessmen instantly overwhelmed, and their faces gradually showed a panicked look.

"What ???"

"It's not that there is no food in Guanzhong, so why do you have to transport it from the Central Plains?"

"It's over! Finished! I can't figure it out if I can't come back in Guanzhong this time......"

"Five days is not enough time......

Pinghu frowned, and said with some surprise: "You wait, I'll ask again......"
