Some people may be able to afford a good coat, but they may not be able to afford a good horse.

Especially the horse led by Liu Yu has extremely high shoulders, obviously a superior horse, fat and strong.

The few people who followed behind were also arrogant, although they were all wearing people's clothes, it can be seen that talking about people and talking about ghosts is also a basic skill for adults.

Liu Yu sang, thinking about the names of the randomly selected students who failed to make the list, and asked, "Dare to ask Chen Qinghai if he is from here?" ”

This name is very characteristic of the times, it should be that the father just finished fighting Qinghai and gave his son such a name.

Calculating the time, it should be the battle to recover Qinghai when Liu Yu was born.

This Chen Qinghai is a student who has fallen off the list.

Geometric surveying and mapping and other knowledge are still good, but others are a little worse, the competition is too fierce, and there are only so many places, so there is no chance to enter the Wude Palace.

There is no opportunity to "repeat" in the camp, and if you can't pass the exam, you can't pass the exam, and in order to prevent someone from taking advantage of the loopholes, there are hard age rules.

If you can read to the camp and learn from the school, you can be regarded as a talent.

Sure enough, this person is still very famous in the village community, as soon as Liu Yu asked, the man pointed to a house in the distance and said: "Go north to the fifth house, the one that has no couplets at the door and a persimmon tree." Guys, what is this? ”

Listening to Liu Yu and the others' Beijing sound with a Shaanxi flavor, this person did not dare to underestimate it.

"Oh, it's okay, just come and see. Thank you very much. ”

Arching his hand, a few people didn't care about the people in the village community pointing and talking about it, and came to the house where they were pointing.

The persimmon tree inside is hung with red fruits, like a lantern. At the intersection outside the street, there were ashes of burned paper money, and there were no couplets on the door.

The door was open, and there was a big dog in the yard.

knocked on the door, and immediately there was a dog barking inside, and Wang Wangwang barked wildly to report to the owner.

Soon, there was a shout from inside.

"Stop screaming! Kuroko, go into the nest, be honest. ”

Then a sturdy young man walked out, and when he saw Liu Yu and the others, he was stunned, and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Liu Yu also arched his hand.

"From the capital, dare to ask, but Chen Qinghai?"

As soon as he heard that it was from the capital, Chen Qinghai was ecstatic in his heart, and said secretly: "Could it be that someone is cheating, and it is my turn to enter the Wude Palace?" ”

He didn't want to ask directly, so he hurriedly said, "I'm it, everyone, please come in, please come in." ”

opened the door, scolded the loyal black dog twice, and welcomed Liu Yu and the others into the house.

The room was quite spacious, Chen Qinghai shouted, and a woman who was also seventeen or eighteen years old came out of it.

didn't have too much shyness, said a blessing to Liu Yu and the others, hurriedly cleaned up a small table, took a jar and went outside to boil water.

An old man who looked to be in his fifties came out of the next room, broke an arm, and asked, "Qinghai, who's coming?" ”

"Dad, from the capital."

"Oops......"

When the old man heard this, he moved into the back room, and there was a sound of bottles and cans, and after a while, he took out a small paper bag and shouted: "The second one, brew this tea." The reward of the New Year is not willing to drink. ”

After shouting twice, the woman answered outside, and the old man asked, "What is the matter with you?" ”

"Oh, it's okay, it's good. The old man sits. ”

After a few words of gossip, Liu Yu glanced at the steamed bun, and the steamed bun took out a roll.

"Do you have a pen at home?"

Chen Qinghai saw a scroll, thinking that his guess was even more correct, and said continuously: "Yes, yes." ”

Hurriedly took it out, Liu Yu sent him the roll, and said with a smile: "It's a little trivial." Please answer this paper. Just half an hour. You answer you, we will accompany the old man to drink tea for an hour. ”

After speaking, he took out a pocket watch, looked at the time, and did not make a sound.

Chen Qinghai has been in camp school for many years, and he is already familiar with the exam, although he doesn't know the identity of the other party, he already has a guess in his heart, and when he sees an expensive pocket watch, his heart is even more solid.

"Dad, drink tea with these guys."

After finishing the order, he hurriedly picked up the pen and looked at the handwritten scroll in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The questions are all geometrical and arithmetic, as well as some astronomical knowledge, which is slightly more difficult than the entrance exam of Wudegong.

However, these studies are what he is good at, and he has a thought in his heart, so he hurriedly picks up the pen and writes hard, and his heart has nothing outside his heart.

In the main hall, Liu Yu asked the old man with a broken arm to be the main seat, and he was the companion, and the rest of the people were standing behind him.

The old man has also survived more than ten years in the military, and when he looks at the style of those people standing behind him, why don't you know that these people are in the army?

Since he is from the capital, he only thinks about good things in his heart.

"Old man Gui Geng?"

"Hey, Gui Geng can't talk about it. Only forty-four. I broke my hand in the northwest and blew sand for seven or eight years, and I looked old. ”

"Oh, it's an old hero. Qinghai is the second, what about the boss? ”

"It's gone. The old fifth battalion, when the man comes out, he has to think about the day he will die. I wasn't in the north last year. I left my grandchildren, and they all reached the age of entering school, and they went to school in the camp school. The old family taught the girls to read and write in the camp school. ”

When the old man talked about his dead son, his tone seemed to be very calm, but he couldn't hide the sadness, and when he mentioned his grandson, he was a little relieved.

"The third and fourth are still young, and they are not the material for reading. In the past few years, I have helped my family, and when I am old, I will score out. ”

Liu Yu heard the old man say that there were still the third and fourth children in the family, so he asked: "When the third and fourth children grow up, this can't be the son of the old fifth camp, right?" ”

"Yes, as long as my grandson is qualified, this Yongye Tian will still be in the old family. In addition to Yongye Tian, there are some industries outside, and when the time comes, the second, third, and fourth brothers will be divided. The second child has entered the camp school, and he can go to the camp school as a teacher in the future, and he also has a military status. The third and fourth will not be, even if they are soldiers, they are not good families, and there will be no Yongye Tian. The imperial court has no official land in its hands over the years. ”

This military registration is very different from the military households of the previous dynasty, although many people died in battle, but every family rushed to fight for this military status.

There is no need to pay taxes or serve in the military, and the children and grandchildren can enjoy the treatment of entering the camp to study, and when they are lucky, they will soar to the sky to be a dragon guard in the forbidden city.

Even if you can't do it, being able to enter the Wude Palace is much easier than taking the imperial examination, and the population base is here.

Liu Yu was also curious and asked, "Old man, can you be busy with the work in this house?" ”

"Hey, what's so busy? I broke my hand, the boss was not in Nenjiang, and when the farm was busy, the young people in the village had to come to help. There are also big livestock at home, and if you hire three or two long-term workers on weekdays, how can you be busy? I also have a honor, and I still have five taels of silver a year, which is passable, passable. ”

After thinking about it, if there are large animals, the work in this field is indeed busy.

As long as he can give birth to a son and hold the military status of a good family, he can at least ensure the life of a wealthy yeoman farmer, and he can hire long-term laborers.

Chen Qinghai is the second, his eldest brother has died in battle, and this military membership has no part for him in any case, unless his eldest brother's child dies......

But as long as the old man is still there, this kind of thing should not happen, forcing the sister-in-law to jump into the well and martyrdom and then kill the nephew, it is estimated that the old five camps are not allowed...... The woman's family is also a good family in the old fifth camp, and she can go directly to Baoding Mansion to beat the drum.

However, Chen Qinghai was admitted to the camp school, and although he was not admitted to the Wude Palace, he could still retain his military status.

As a teacher in the camp school, each village community has a special teaching field, and the next generation can also get Yongye field, and the imperial court should still be able to take out this bit of land.

The third and fourth are a little miserable.

If he was born thirty or forty years early, when there are still many official fields, and his martial arts are qualified, it is estimated that he can also mix the identity of a good family with military status.

However, now there is no idle land in the four seas, or immigrate to Liaodong, Hetao and other places; Either join the army and mix military merits, and rely on the honor to mix up the identity of a good family; Either you can only become a citizen.

Yongyetian belongs to the imperial court, and the father is not qualified to share, so he can only divide the rest of the family property.

If the children of the old family are gone, or they cannot enlist in the army if they fail to pass the assessment, then the succession order is the third and fourth. Once the second child starts to formally teach, it is equivalent to splitting up.

Different from the equal inheritance method of the common people, these old five battalions of good families are still the inheritance method of noble titles, mainly to inherit the military status, although the title of this nobleman is so small that it can not be smaller, and it is about to catch up with the "common people" lord in the Han Dynasty, but it is a special identity after all.

For the sake of this military status, I can only study and practice hard, and at least I must pass the examination to inherit the military status. As the basic plate of the royal family, this management is still very strict.

Liu Yu secretly wrote down these details, and asked, "Old man, then you have a military status, and your son is qualified to enter the camp to study, right?" ”

"Yes. I have a military status, even if the eldest son inherits the military status, my son is still my son, and he can still enter the camp to study. But not necessarily with my grandson. If the father is a good family, the son can enter the camp to study; If Daddy isn't, he can't. Grandchildren are not among them. ”

"Camp Learning...... Well, there's something in a year, right? ”

"That little thing in the camp is not worth anything. A few stacks of paper, a few feet of cotton. The main thing is to be able to learn to read and count, and not to be blind in the future. If you are lucky, you will be admitted to the Wude Palace, and that is the right way. ”

"Can a girl go to school?"

"The girl has a school for the girl, and she can't enter the house, so she can only learn to read and count. In the future, if you give birth to a baby, you can teach the doll to know how to read since elementary school. Female teachers teach female dolls, read and count, and have five or six dollars of silver a month, thirty catties of rice, and can live by themselves. ”

"Hmm. So what if there is no property outside the family, nothing else except Yongye Tian, and there are many sons, and you can't get into the upper house? ”

"What to do? Be a soldier. You don't have to be a good family to be a soldier, and you have some silver a month, so you won't starve to death. If you are really starving to death, then you can also go to Liaodong, Mongolia, and Hetao to immigrate. The imperial court will send people to ask every year, but there are only few people who go. But it was so close that the day of starvation was coming, so I had to go. ”

After asking a few more questions, the so-called "good tea" in the pot has no taste.

It may be that there is a broken hand and there is a minimum of a turn of honor, and there will be some rewards every year, but the grade of this tea is also secondary, and it is likely that it was handed over.

Liu Yu mainly asked about the details of the life of the good family in the old five camps this time.

After thinking about it, I want someone to rush to apply for the exam......

The premise is that the salary should be high.

The main reason is that even the unsuccessful students of Wude Palace have the guarantee of military status. In the village community, there is a teaching field, and when I go to Liugong Island, my wife and children have to follow...... I can't get on the boat by myself, let my wife and children be at home, and tie my neck like a cormorant.

"Old man, this is like Qinghai, I have done the teaching of camp learning, and I have a military status, not to mention the teaching and training fields of various villages and communities, how much silver will I give in that month?"

"Well, do the teaching, with the Kid Army, etc. Two taels of silver a month. There is also grain and rice for the New Year's Festival. ”

I roughly calculated the account in my heart, and after conversion, I had to give at least forty taels of silver this year.

If there is less, no one will go.

The main thing is that the navy is just starting to rise, and the future is uncertain, who knows if this thing has a future? If there is no future and there is little to give, then it is better to teach in the village community school.

In addition, they have to ensure that their permanent fields are temporarily handed over to the rest of the village community for cultivation, but they will have to be returned in the future.

In addition, it is necessary to ensure that the children of these people are enrolled in school, and the level of school enrollment is not lower than that of village community schools.

According to the first batch of trainee officers and trainee non-commissioned officers, 300 people will be accepted, and they must be prepared to pay at least 20,000 taels of silver a year.

In the future, if you become a regular, your treatment will definitely be improved, otherwise who will work hard? Talking about feelings, it's too nonsense. The salary of the regular has to be doubled, and it is even higher if you become a captain.

Sailor's words...... Those who can't go to school in each camp must be of high quality, at least know some words.

But the high-quality ones are too expensive, and Dashun should not be able to raise such a high-quality navy, at least temporarily.

Liu Yu pondered for a while, the sailors still waited for the flood and drought, and grabbed it from the victims. Give a nest head and a tael of silver a month, and you should be able to catch a lot.
