Giving a nest head is willing to be a soldier, at least it is not tempting for the second sons of these good families.

Liu Yu can't know what would have happened to Li Guo if he hadn't died early, but he knew that after the evolution of the flavor over the years, these old Wuying good families are a little like the Han Liang family, a little like the children of Tang Guanlong, a little like the Prussian Junkers, and a little like the control of Qin Zaiguanzhong's Shangjun Law.

Like, not at all.

It's paradoxical.

After asking a few more questions about the harvest, the conflict lawsuit with the people, and the execution of Junda, I took out my pocket watch and looked at it, and it was already time.

When handing over the test papers, Chen Qinghai held them with both hands.

Although Liu Yu did not identify himself, Chen Qinghai had already made up a big drama in his mind: someone cheated, His Majesty was furious, beheaded the traitorous ministers with a sword, and sent the Eight Governors to pay a private visit to Weifu......

Shake your head to drive away these dramas you listen to on weekdays from your fantasies, the other party didn't show his identity, and he didn't call him an adult directly, but he treated the other party as a big man when he was in contact with people.

The volumes are easy to combine, some are very simple, but some are a little more difficult. Especially for the last few questions, the direction of the questions is extremely ingenious, and if you give another three or five hours, you may be able to solve them. But it's only half an hour, and it can't be solved anyway.

Chen Qinghai thinks that he can learn well, and the camp school in Baoding Mansion is also regarded as an outstanding figure in arithmetic and geometry, thinking that if he can't answer, others should not be able to answer, maybe the adult in front of him took the wrong volume of the Wude Palace?

Liu Yu took the test paper and glanced at it a few times, then handed the paper to the steamed bun behind him and told him to put it away.

"Chen Qinghai, take me out and walk around the village. Don't talk too much and ask too much. My surname is Liu, so you can call me Mr. Liu. ”

Liu is a very common surname, but Chen Qinghai, who was making up a big drama in his head, naturally thought of a name that was in the limelight this year.

His brother died in the siege of Nenjiang, and many people in the village community participated in the battle, and two who returned from being wounded, often mentioning the name of a young man in the battle in northern Xinjiang.

When I was in Baoding Camp School, I heard about the hot air balloon flying in the capital. I want to take the Wude Palace again, and of course I have bought and seen the strategy of the leader of the autumn big exam, and I saw that the person opposite was so young, and I thought of that name.

I secretly said in my heart, isn't this Lord Liu Yu in front of me who is the leader of the Liankra Rakshasa Number Castle, the Three Thousand Miles of Expansion of Territory, and the leader of the Wude Palace Autumn Examination Palace?

The head is still pretending to be the story of the private interview of the master of Qingtian, and the person in front of him is so young, he is about the same age as himself, and he naturally exudes a high-minded attitude when he speaks.

Chen Qinghai's heart was pounding, not only because of the twist in his own mind that his fate might make, but also because he had seen some legendary figures often heard in the circle of Liangjiazi in the past two years standing in front of him.

Although he was not sure, he had already believed his conjecture seven or eight points in his heart, and seeing that Lord Liu didn't want to make a big fuss, he said: "Then Mr. Liu, come with me, let's go for a turn." But I don't know where Mr. Liu wants to go first? ”

"Let's go to the camp first. Can I go in? ”

"Yes, but be quiet."

"Provincial province. Please lead the way. ”

He turned around and ordered the steamed buns to buy some wine and food, and the rest of the people rested here for a while, and he only took Kang Buxian and a child army warrior appointed by the emperor to follow.

Chen Qinghai is a familiar face, although it is impossible to teach in the camp of the village community in the future, but he can also come and go freely.

led Liu Yu and the three of them to audit a class, which was the best course in the camp.

The level is about the same as the third or fourth grade in the previous life? Learn to read words, arithmetic, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, Arabic numerals, and learn all kinds of figures.

I went to the girls' school and looked at it, and it was less difficult than the boys', that is, the level of literacy, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

In the field outside the camp classroom, some eleven or twelve-year-old children were practicing in the whole team, walking in queues, listening left and right. They all carried a long stick in their hands, and they were learning how to hold a spear with their front and back hands.

Liu Yu, who watched it, trembled, and said in his heart that there is no need to popularize the three-way method of camp learning, even if there is money to popularize the education level of the camp school in the whole country, this is also the army that can be pulled out in minutes to understand the left and right, and know the queue since childhood.

After looking at it for a while, Liu Yu asked: "Among these people, those who can't attack the identity of the son of a good family, won't the imperial court recruit soldiers?" ”

Chen Qinghai shook his head.

"Recruit, but there are few people who go. If you don't have a military status as a son of a conscience, just a soldier, a little money a month is far better than helping at home. The imperial court put the identity card of the good family very strictly. If you are a citizen in the army, you have to cut people to the captain of the cavalry, so that you can shade the identity of a good son of the old fifth battalion. ”

Kang Buxi, who followed Liu Yu, added: "Son, the so-called, soldiers are not expensive. If the military salary is thick, you can't get the money. If you don't pay a generous military salary, I am afraid that there will be 'faith and knowledge that giving birth to men is evil, but it is better to give birth to girls.' Giving birth to a daughter still has to marry a neighbor, and giving birth to a boy buries the resentment of following the grass. ”

"Moreover, this dynasty has not yet reached the situation of forcibly conscripting all the sons and daughters of good families into the army. If the father is the head of the family in the father, if the father is not in the identity of the son of the good family, he is the head of the family. If there is an industry outside, the family will be divided, and if there is no industry, it is a war outside the family that attacks the good family, and the younger brothers are farming at home. In this way, the imperial court did not dare to forcibly levy, otherwise the good family would have grievances. ”

Kang Buxian broke the key to it in one word, Liu Yu thought for a moment and understood the logic.

When attacking the children of the good family, there must always be people planting the land at home. Not everyone has an industry other than Yongye Field, and not everyone wants to hire long-term workers, and at this time, the younger brothers are actually a labor force at home.

Of course, the imperial court knew that these people who could not attack the good family but had been in the camp since they were children were good soldiers, but they did not want to offend the huge class of good families for the sake of these soldiers, and acquiesced to the oppression of the younger brothers by the good family.

Unless there is a rebellion to change the dynasty, it is possible to recruit the younger brothers of these good families on a large scale...... However, that is also to quench thirst, once even these people are recruited, the life of the good family class will inevitably decline rapidly due to the lack of labor, and it is impossible to maintain it any longer.

After sorting out the relationship between them, although Liu Yu coveted these soldiers as a new army, he still reluctantly filtered them out.

The post-modern conscription system was not suitable for Dashun, and it had to take the route of the officer corps plus the "thief with the army" to recruit displaced people.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh.

An officer corps that comes entirely from a small privileged class of more than 100,000 households...... I'm afraid it's not a good thing.

When that day comes, I am afraid that the entire empire will be dragged down an unconceived path.

Chen Qinghai listened to Liu Yu sigh slightly, thinking that Liu Yu was distressed that these good families were also living hard, thinking that Liu Yu Xu was the master of Qingtian, so he also had the courage to say something else.

"Mr. Liu, at the age of eleven or twelve, he will be selected to enter the camp school. Each province has several inner houses. In another three years, I was admitted to the house. ”

"It's not fair to say it. Although most people from good families also have large livestock in their families, being able to ride a horse and riding a horse well are not the same thing. ”

"Kaowude Palace requires equestrianism, marksmanship, etc., and since ancient times, it has been said that the poor are rich in martial arts. If those who have official status, of course, their children have money to eat meat, money to learn equestrianism, and money to practice marksmanship. These people like us, even if they learn geometry and arithmetic well, it is difficult to enter the Wude Palace. Equestrianism, marksmanship, martial arts, etc., we are always a step behind. I think that if there are a few more decades, all those who enter the Wude Palace will be the children of official eunuchs. ”

Kang Buxian has experienced the turmoil of changing the policy for eight shares back then, and what Chen Qinghai said about this matter can probably be regarded as a copy of the change of policy for the eight shows:

Even if the imperial court spends an extra two or three million taels of silver every year on the good family subclass, but horsemanship, marksmanship, and martial arts are like "knowledge, strategy, and strategy" in the battle of the eight strands.

Liu Yu is good at equestrianism and marksmanship, because if he wants to play with guns and horses, his family has money for him to play.

Du Feng's equestrian skills are good, because his father is the commander of Zhichong, and there are hired workers and tenants at home in a ghost place like Songhuajiang, and Du Feng can have a lot of time to play with horses.

Kang Buxian was able to be admitted to the strategy show, because his family was once wide. And when even Xiucai was considering strategy, ordinary poor families had no chance to have that kind of insight and read a lot of expensive history books.

Even if the entire good family subclass is already considered a privileged class, within this, there is still a division between the upper, middle and lower.

In the face of Chen Qinghai's complaints, Liu Yu did not answer.

He also complained a lot about the selection of Wude Palace, just like the martial arts of the previous dynasty, and the things tested were completely the criteria for selecting warriors. Sun Wu's law of war is completely a master's ability.

The guns cracked as soon as they rang out, there was no more Zhao Guanzhang in the world, and Zhao Guanzhang came to face the line, and it was impossible to rush into battle and cut seven in and seven out. Although Zhao Zilong is brave, does he know the rifled gun hunters squatting in the grass?

Whether it is Chen Qinghai's grievances or Liu Yu's complaints, in fact, there is one thing inside: there is a problem with Dashun's military system and army building ideas.

This is not a question of flintlock pistols and arquebuses, but a problem brought about by the whole line of thought of the military system.

Reform is not as simple as changing the arquebus to a flintlock pistol with a bayonet, otherwise it will only be an embroidered pillow.

The idea of the military system should not be, even if it is replaced with new guns and new guns, at most it is at the level of a sick man in West Asia.

The good family is organized as an elite soldier, once this elite good family is gone, it will be reduced to the scene at the end of the dynasty: the bad money drives out the good money, the soldiers of the good family are filled in, the recruits are weak, the military discipline is corrupted, the strong Ding is pulled, the family is selected, the strength is preserved, the elite raised by the main general is scattered, and the rest die in a hurry.

These things need to be changed, and you can't pat your head.

I don't want to start from scratch now, but I want to treat this legacy of literacy and arithmetic as the legacy of Zhuxia rather than the legacy of the royal family, so I have to play the side ball first within the scope of what the royal family can allow.

Although Liu Yu has a general idea, he also knows that he needs to investigate the actual situation and take samples for analysis.

I went around the village community again, had a meal with Chen Qinghai's family, and then took advantage of the meal to make a surprise inspection of what the rich and poor households in the village eat on weekdays.

chatted with the rich and asked them about letting their children do business; I chatted with the poor and asked them about the cultivation of their family's land during their service.

He stayed in the village for three days and did not identify himself until he left.

just took a few questions that Chen Qinghai didn't answer in that test paper, and told Chen Qinghai about the ideas of similar questions. The officer of the Children's Army who followed him secretly thought that Master Liu was a studious person and tireless in teaching.

Before leaving, he told Chen Qinghai not to go out these days and wait for the news of the list.

After leaving this village community, Liu Yu selected several prefectures in Zhili and chose more than a dozen village communities, and stayed for as short as one day and as long as three days.

I went to Baoding Mansion, Hejian Mansion, Daimyo Mansion, Yongping Mansion and other places, and inspected the inner and upper houses of the camp.

I asked more than 20 unsuccessful students about their expectations for the future, their psychological expectations for future income, and their daily family income.

I went to see two more lawsuits.

One is a conflict within the good family: the daughter-in-law cheated during the service; The other is a lawsuit between Liangjiazi and the people: he borrowed too much money and transferred the cultivation rights of Yongye Field to the landlords of the people's nationality.

It was not until November that I wrote an investigation report of more than 80,000 words.

He hid 40,000 of the 80,000 characters himself, and wrote the remaining 40,000 characters into a recital, and told someone to go back and present it to the emperor.

…………

"Wonderful! Wonderful! This is what I say, and this is my inspection patrol! ”

In the forbidden palace, Li Gan wore glasses and flipped through the long recitals by the light, and couldn't help but clap his hands and praise.

didn't say the name, but the eunuch who served on the side could know from the length of the recital and the emperor's attitude that this recital must be the current dragon guard in front of the palace, Liu Yu Liu.

Of course, the eunuch knows the emperor's attitude towards this kind of recital: you have to watch it, and you can't help but scold twice before you see it, and it's easy to find the real content from it, and then reply to two sentences, and then scold a stinky and long sentence.

The eunuchs who served knew that most of Liu Yu's twists and turns were extremely long. But every time the emperor read it, not only would he not scold, but he would praise it.

The reason why the eunuch cares so much about Liu Yu is because the eunuch always feels that Liu Yu is a little scary.

A few months ago, when I asked the right question in private, Liu Yu was still a guard instead of a dragon ban, and most of the eunuchs who heard the conversation that day suddenly "fell ill and died".

He was the only eunuch who listened to the talk of "breaking the luck and opening the imperial examination" that day, how could he not care?

The rest of the people are "sick", and he doesn't want to die, so he can only always warn himself and keep his mouth shut.

I also have to serve for many years, and I always have a little affection, which was originally regarded as the capital to show off my might, but now it is only regarded as a floating grass to save my life from "being sick".

At this time, I quietly observed the emperor again, and saw that the emperor lifted the pen, but he did not draw circles in a few places, but there was no reply of half a word.

After drawing more than a dozen circles, he put down his pen and muttered a few words, "It makes sense, but it turns out to be like this." Baoshan is in hand, but hates poverty, what is the reason? ”。

The eunuch thought to himself, what are the words that can make His Majesty sigh like this? Thinking of this, his body immediately retreated, and he didn't linger on the fold at all.

It's just that if Liu Yu makes sense, he still doesn't think it's wonderful, and it's easy to get sick......
