On the streets of Huojia Town, some people are happy and some are sad.

Naturally, if you don't win the lottery, you will be elated, being a soldier is not a good job, and it is better to do anything than to be a soldier.

As for the winners, they are crying and sad, if they are really selected again during the physical examination, they will be really miserable at that time, and they will die on the battlefield on that day.

"Aren't the conditions we gave good enough?"

Zhu Hou looked at the scene in front of him, touched his chin and said.

"It's not that the conditions we give are not good, but under the long-term concept, everyone has formed the concept that good iron is not nailed, and good men are not soldiers."

"In the past, military households were indeed very depressed, and generations, children and grandchildren were soldiers and could not engage in other industries, there were too many restrictions, so naturally no one wanted to be a soldier."

"If we can slowly change this concept and let everyone know the benefits of being a soldier and know that there is a future for being a soldier, then naturally everyone will compete and rush to become a soldier."

Liu Jin thought for a while and said.

Later generations were similar, at the beginning, the treatment of being a soldier was poor, and no one wanted to be a soldier, but with the continuous improvement of treatment in all aspects, more and more people actively joined the army.

In the final analysis, people are all seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, everyone wants to go if there are benefits, and everyone is unwilling to go to things that are disadvantageous.

"I see~"

"Hmph~ When I become the emperor, when the time comes, I will sweep the world with my million-strong male division of the Ming Dynasty, and give these soldiers the land they have robbed, the beauties they have robbed, and the gold, silver and jewelry they have robbed, I want to see if they will rush to become soldiers at that time."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately understood, and then hummed and said.

“……”

Liu Jin couldn't help but wipe the sweat on his forehead.

This Zhu Houzhao is obviously the prince of the Ming Dynasty, but how does this style of speaking and doing things look like a bandit?

What is the robbed land, the robbed beauty, the robbed gold, silver and jewelry..... what is this not a bandit?

But the words are not rough, this is also Liu Jin's plan.

The new army needs to be trained, and when it is trained, it will naturally be used, and it will be used to conquer the Quartet, and when the time comes, it will lay down a vast piece of land, and the first thing to divide is these soldiers, so that they can enjoy the fruits of victory, and let these soldiers become rich and dragged up, so that there can be a large army that can fight well.

Otherwise, do you expect the current Ming army to come and fight in all directions?

If they can't even eat, they want to have no status, they want to have no status, they want to have no future, what motivation can they have to fight in all directions?

Soon, Huojia Town selected a hundred strong men, and a hundred strong men also rushed to the county seat where Huojia Town is located, and they also had to go to the county seat for a physical examination, and then conduct an identity review after passing the physical examination, and only the children of the good family can go to the army.

Among the 100 strong men, Huo Yun and Huo Ying chatted with some frustration while walking with the team.

"Why are the two of us so unlucky, we actually won the lottery."

"If you really go to the army, what will happen to your family?"

Huo Ying couldn't help but complain, being a soldier is really not so easy to be a soldier, and who knows if it will affect future generations.

"Alas, don't mention it, the family has already agreed with me, but now that I am being messed up like this, maybe I will be yellow by then."

Huo Yun also said helplessly, his family had already agreed with him, and he was about to get married, but now that it was okay, this happened.

He was a little worried, worried about whether he would lose his family because of this matter.

He is eighteen years old this year, and he finally told him a family affair at home, and he fantasized about the life of his wife and children on the hot kang in his mind.

Now, maybe I'm going to be a soldier.

"Probably not, right?"

Huo Ying thought for a while and said.

"Who knows, I heard that those military households are very dilapidated, and they have been military households for generations, and they can't do anything except be a soldier."

Huo Yun said worriedly.

"Don't worry too much, 20 out of 100 people, as long as we perform poorly and fail the physical examination, we don't have to go."

Huo Ying comforted.

"Well, when the time comes, it's not good to pretend to be physical."

Huo Yun nodded solemnly.

In fact, not only the two of them planned like this, but everyone else also almost planned like this, and some of them had acquaintances at home and even hurriedly prepared silver to go to the county yamen together, ready to go to the back door, and must not go to their own children to become soldiers.

Huojia Town is not far from the county seat, only more than 20 miles away, so it took more than 100 strong men from Huojia Town to come to the county seat for more than an hour, and came to the county yamen under the leadership of several squires.

Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao have also been following these people, wanting to see how these people performed when they were recruited, and at the same time, they also took a look at the situation in the county yamen.

Here in the county office, hundreds of people have gathered at this time, and the nearby towns and villages have already organized strong men to come to the county office, and they are holding on to their bodies.

"My lord, our strong men from Huojia Town have arrived, and a total of 100 people have come~"

Huo Qingshan, the squire of Huojia Town, found the county lord Chen Boxian and explained to him the situation in Huojia Town.

"Well, that's right, look at these strong men in your Huojia Town, all of them are strong and strong, and they are all very good."

Chen Boxian is in his forties and has a small beard.

The conscription task explained above is now his top priority, so he doesn't dare to be sloppy and is doing it very carefully.

"My lord, you're joking, our Huojia Town has always been a small township, do you think these 20 conscription places are too much?"

Huo Qingshan quietly took out a few silver tickets and stretched them out into Chen Boxian's sleeve.

As a squire of Huojia Town, he and this Chen Boxian are also old friends, and if a county magistrate wants to govern one side well, it is absolutely indispensable to the support of these squires.

Therefore, the relationship between the county order and the local squires is very good, and they are all acquaintances, so that it is easy to do things, and with the cooperation of these squires, the things explained above can be done well.

"This really doesn't work~"

Chen Boxian shook his head slightly, and at the same time secretly rejected the other party's silver ticket.

It's not that Chen Boxian really has a clean breeze on his sleeves, but he clearly knows that some silver can be collected, and some silver can't be collected, it is very close to the capital, and compulsory military service conscription is the best thing in the imperial court now.

Only a few days have passed since the New Year, and the imperial court has promulgated this new compulsory military service system, which is being trialed here in Beizhili.

And he clearly knows that now that the military power has returned to the emperor's hands, the emperor attaches great importance to this matter, and it is better to be cautious at this time.

"Really?"

Huo Qingshan was slightly stunned, this is really very rare without cash, and asked again.

"It's really not good~ Lao Huo, we are also old friends, we can't hide it, the above attaches great importance to this matter, and this conscription task must be completed, so I can't help this time."

Chen Boxian thought about it and whispered to Huo Qingshan.

"This..."

Huo Qingshan immediately understood after hearing this, and quietly put away the silver ticket again.

"The strong man from Huojia Town came over for a physical examination~"

Soon it was the turn of the people in Huojia Town to take a physical examination, and the process of physical examination was relatively simple, far less complicated than that of later generations.

The first is to check whether it is a man or not, and don't show a Mulan, which will make a joke.

The examination was carried out in a room, and everyone had to strip their pants and insist on whether they were real men or not.

The second is to insist on whether there is any disease or disability in the body, mainly to see whether the hands and feet are sound, and whether there are problems with the eyes and ears.

The third is to measure the height, people who are too short must not want, it is best to pick some tall and strong people to come out.

The fourth is weightlifting, and those who have not reached a certain level of lifting weight cannot ask for it, and it is definitely not possible to be a soldier without strength.

The four inspection items are very simple, and they are all designed by Liu Jin.

If it is a later life, or a detailed screening of vision, color blindness, hearing, etc., everyone who can go to the army has a pretty good physical fitness.

The inspection went very smoothly, and the more than 100 strong men in Huojia Town were all men, and there was no incident of Mulan becoming a soldier on behalf of her brother.

More than 100 strong men are also very monitored, there is no disability or disease, and there are no problems with eyes, ears, etc.

When measuring the height, there were more than 20 people who were too short to be even five feet, so they were naturally brushed off.

Huo Ying and Huo Yun are strong and tall, so they naturally passed the screening of the first three very smoothly.

When it comes to the last link, the weightlifting screening link, the situation is different.

On a vacant lot in the county office, the remaining more than 70 Huojia Town Zhuang men lined up, waiting for the final inspection.

"The last item is weightlifting, if this is over, then it will be decided to be a soldier~"

Huo Ying looked at several stone piers in the courtyard, which were used to measure strength.

"Wait a minute, remember to release the water, you must not be able to lift it."

Huo Yun nodded and said to Huo Ying.

"Well, I know~"

Huo Ying nodded slightly.

"Now for the fourth check - weightlifting~"

The official of the county government said very loudly to the strong man in Huojia Town: "There are four stone piers here, which are twenty catties, thirty catties, forty catties, and fifty catties~"

"If you can lift a stone pier of forty catties, you are qualified~"

"Now I read the name, come and lift the stone pier."

"Huo Xiong~"

As the words of the servant fell, a tall, strong man as an ox stepped forward.

"Huo Xiong is known for our strength, he has never lost in the town, and I estimate that he has no problem lifting a fifty-pound stone pier."

When Huo Ying saw Huo Xiong come out, he smiled and said to Huo Yun.

However, something that made people dumbfounded.

I saw Huo Xiong come to the twenty-pound stone pier, pretending to be very difficult and began to lift the stone pier, gritting his teeth, his forehead and arms were full of green tendons, but the twenty-pound stone pier seemed to be extremely heavy, he just moved it, but he was never able to lift it.

"This...."

Everyone was dumbfounded, this Huo Xiong released water too much, and the key is that this performance is exactly the same as the real thing, making people believe that he really can't lift the twenty catties of stone piers.

"Whew~Whew~"

"I can't lift it, it's too heavy."

After moving for a while, Huo Xiong put down the stone pier heavily, and said pretending to be out of breath.

"Can't really lift it?"

The official looked at Huo Xiong, this person is tall and big, he can't lift this twenty-pound stone pier, and the ghost believes you.

However, the official has also seen too much about this matter, and in the past few days, the strong men from various towns and towns have come to have a physical examination, and the first three levels are fine, and when it comes to the fourth level, the water released by everyone is estimated to flood the county.

"I really can't lift it~"

Huo Xiong nodded helplessly and said, and his whole face was red after speaking.

"Okay, you go to the side first~"

The official smiled and nodded, you release the water, just let it go, anyway, you Huojia Town will also send twenty to serve as soldiers.

"Huo Ying~"

Soon, the official shouted again.

Huo Ying hurriedly walked out, with Huo Xiong's Zhu Yu in front, Huo Ying immediately knew how to release the water, and he also imitated Huo Xiong's appearance, and it was very difficult to lift the twenty catties of stone piers, his face was red and his ears were red, and his strength was used on the stone piers, but he didn't lift them up.

"Whew~"

"I can't lift it either~"

After moving for a while, Huo Ying also reluctantly put down the stone pier and said.

"You also go to the side~"

The official smiled, and pointed to Huo Ying standing beside Huo Xiong.

One after another, people kept coming to lift the stone pier, and each one was an actor.

Huo Xiong, Huo Ying and others in front can also lift a twenty-pound stone pier to move for a while, but when they get to the back, the water release will become more and more serious.

Some people even pretend to be like scholars, they have no power to tie the chicken, and they can't even move the twenty-pound stone pier, let alone move it.

"This..."

The people who came to lift the stone pier first were all dumbfounded, especially Huo Xiong, Huo Ying, and Huo Yun, all of whom were really dumbfounded.

Everyone is a fellow villager, and they are all familiar with each other, they are all croppers, not to mention anything else, this strength is, but now, they have all become the ladies in the city, and this hand is used for embroidery, where is the cropper ah, twenty catties of stone piers.

These people in the front can still be moved and installed, but in the back, they can't be moved, and some people can even pretend that they can't even move.

"The sea, you are all water~"

Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao have also been watching, when they saw this scene, Liu Jin couldn't help but shout, these people are really too capable of pretending, all of them are masters who can kill tigers, and now they have tried all kinds of ways to not even move the twenty-pound stone pier.
